Venkatesh’s latest family entertainer, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, is indeed making waves at the box office, crossing multiple milestones and still continuing its strong run. The film’s success has added another feather to Venkatesh’s cap, making him the 6th hero to join the prestigious 250 Cr Club in Telugu cinema. This accomplishment places him alongside the likes of Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, and NTR, with Teja Sajja making a surprise entry into the club last year thanks to the success of Hanuman.
Interestingly, Venkatesh’s achievement is even more significant as he becomes the first senior hero to reach this milestone, marking a new chapter in his career. For context, when considering the Telugu version alone, Venkatesh would be the 5th hero to cross the 250 Cr mark, as Hanuman’s Hindi version contributed heavily to its global success.
Sankranthiki Vasthunam continues to do well at the box office, holding steady despite the upcoming competition. With Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, releasing this weekend, the next phase of Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s run will depend on audience reactions to the new release. The film’s current performance is already being hailed as one of the best in recent times, a testament to the strong storytelling and the audience’s unwavering support.
