The pre-release business of Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas' untitled film is shattering the trade records. Taking many by surprise, the film is said to be clocking over Rs 150 Crore even before its release. This is second highest for a Telugu film only after Baahubali 2 and third highest South Indian film (First being Baahubali 2 and Second being Kabali).
If buzz is to be believed, the Telugu theatrical rights (all India) is estimated to fetch Rs 115 Crore. This is a staggering amount. The Satellite rights / digital rights of Telugu, music rights, Overseas theatrical rights and Satellite rights of Hindi film together expected to get an additional 40 Crore plus.
The Attarintiki Daredi combination of Trivikram, Pawan Kalyan, Devi Sri Prasad is said to be what working in favour of the film. Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel are romancing Pawan in this family entertainer. Pawan will be seen as a software engineer.
Even as last two films of Pawan (Sardaar Gabbar Singh & Katamarayudu) failed to meet the expectations, it has no effect on Pawan's forthcoming film PK25. Once again, Pawan Kalyan is proving to be an undisputed King in trade circuits.
If we take a look at the filmography of Trivikam, he has the knack of retaining not just key technicians but also heroes and heroines.
Trivikram has made three films with Pawan and two each with Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun. Coming to heroines, he has repeated Ileana in 'Julayi' after casting her first time in 'Jalsa'. Later, he raised many eye brows by casting Samantha in three back to back movies - Attharintiki Daredi, S/o Satyamurthy and A..Aa.
If the latest reports in tinsel town are anything to go by, Trivikram may have found his next Samantha. Buzz is that Trivikram is considering Mallu beauty Anu Emmanuel for his next film starring NTR in lead role. Anu is currently playing one of the female leads in his current film starring Pawan Kalyan.
Reportedly, Trivikram was so impressed with Anu's quick understanding of Telugu and her effervescent screen presence that he has almost confirmed her to romance NTR in his next film. Going by how Trivikram has earlier repeated Samantha and Ileana, there is little surprise when he opted to retain a heroine as charming as Anu Emmanuel. In such case, Anu can be considered as the luckiest young actress after Sam.
Meanwhile, Anu is also under consideration to romance Allu Arjun in 'Naa Peru Surya'.
