Natural Star Nani rose as Tollywood’s bankable hero, but his theatrical run shows mixed results lately.

Post-pandemic, Nani’s non-theatrical value grew sharply, but his box office performance declined significantly.

'MCA' was his theatrical high, matched only years later by the mass success of Dasara.

While Dasara brought profits for producers, some distributors recovered costs only after GST reimbursements.

HIT 3 had a strong opening but couldn’t recover investments; distributors now face noticeable losses.

Shyam Singha Roy battled pandemic and political hurdles—producers gained, but buyers suffered losses, needing compensation.

Ante Sundaraniki flopped despite Nizam and overseas openings; Nani loved it, but trade called it failure.

Hi Nanna opened dull; Nani self-released it. Though a Netflix hit, theatres showed weakest collection yet.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram opened strong but failed to become a hit; minor distributor losses still occurred.

Nani stays silent as Tollywood circles discuss his fading theatrical grip despite solid digital popularity.
