Mr. Bachchan is all set to hit the screens on August 15, 2024. There is a massive buzz for this film, which is the official remake of the Hindi hit Raid. Hari Shankar has teamed up with Ravi Teja after a long gap for this film, which has super hit music by Mickey J Meyer, which has become the talk of the town.
The promotions are in full swing, and the pre-release event happened on a thumping note and Ravi Teja said that the film will be as sweet as a Laddu. On the other hand, the pre-release business has been locked at a solid price, and Mr. Bachchan has to make at least Rs 35 crore to be in the safe zone.
The total theatrical business in Telugu states is Rs 40 crore. In the overseas, the film has been sold for Rs 7 crore. This is one of the highest amounts for any Ravi Teja film to date. The makers have already sold the OTT rights of the film to Netflix for a very fancy price. So, half of the film's budget has already been recovered.
In the US, the film has been sold for Rs 7 crore, and the advance bookings are just about okay. If the word of mouth is good, the occupancy will increase in the US. But back in the Telugu states, the buzz for the film is solid. But things are not that easy as Mr. Bachchan is releasing alongside yet another biggie, Double Ismart which has been directed by Puri Jagannadh and has Ram Pothineni.
Even that film is also carrying a solid buzz and will give Mr. Bachchan solid competition. But as these films are released during the Independence Day weekend, there are good chances for them to create new box office records. Bhagyashree Borse is the female lead in this film, which has been produced by People Media Factory.
The makers have spent a bomb on the film's promotion, and they are seeing that Mr. Bachchan gets a massive number of screens for the weekend. We need to see if the Ravi Teja starrer will live up to all the hype or not.
