Nandamuri Balakrishna has reason to feel more than thrilled this week, what with his 97 film, the Boyapati Sreenu-directed ‘Legend’ crossing the 100-day mark in 31 theatres across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Produced by the 14 Reels Entertainment under Vaarahi Chalana Chitram banners by Ram Achanta, Gopichand Achanta and Anil Sunkara, the film that falls in the action/family drama genre piped the 100-day post.
‘Legend’, that has Sonal Chauhan and Radhika Apte as ‘Balayya’ Babu’s co-stars, apart from Jagapathi Babu and Brahmanandam, hit the theatres on March 28. But interestingly, trade figures indicate that of the 31 theatres, 25 are what are called ‘direct theatres’ - as in venues where the movie was shown 100 days without a break.
The last Telugu movie to hit a century was the Trivikram Srinivas-directed ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ with Pawan Kalyan and Samantha in the lead, that was released on July 27, 2013. Of the 32 theatres where it ran 100 days, only 18 were ‘direct’!
