The battle at the box office takes an intriguing turn as two prestigious re-releases gear up for a clash to claim the top spot. Mahesh Babu’s ‘Businessman,’ directed by Puri Jagannath, set a formidable benchmark as the biggest opener in terms of re-releases in Tollywood, raking in a massive 5.2 crore+ worldwide. Now, Vijay’s ‘Ghilli’ steps up to challenge this record.
A remake of the Telugu blockbuster ‘Okkadu,’ ‘Ghilli’ was Vijay’s biggest grosser at the time of its release and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of his fans. With its re-release scheduled for Friday, anticipation is running high, evident from the sensational booking numbers indicating a potential new milestone in re-release openings.
The clash between the remake of Mahesh Babu’s film and his direct release adds an extra layer of intrigue to the showdown. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently immersed in ‘The Greatest Of All Time,’ directed by Venkat Prabhu, slated for release on September 5th. On the other hand, Mahesh Babu is gearing up for his upcoming collaboration with SS Rajamouli, with pre-production activities progressing swiftly for the highly anticipated project.
