Excerpt: Chiranjeevi has faced some setbacks with movies like Acharya and Godfather. He’s had just one big success with Waltair Veerayya in his last three films. On the other hand, Balakrishna has been doing well with blockbusters like Akhanda and Veera Simha Reddy.
A while back, Megastar Chiranjeevi was the top actor in Telugu cinema, with Balakrishna as the second-best. Then, Chiranjeevi took break for some time because of his political entry and made a comeback with Khaidi No. 150, showing he’s still the top star by doing much better than Balakrishna’s movie, Gowtham Putra Satakarni.
But recently, Chiranjeevi has faced some setbacks with movies like Acharya and Godfather. He’s had just one big success with Waltair Veerayya in his last three films. On the other hand, Balakrishna has been doing well with blockbusters like Akhanda and Veera Simha Reddy. Even when Waltair Veerayya did better than Veera Simha Reddy, Balakrishna still got more people to watch his movie, even though some didn’t like it much.
The fate of a movie in the industry often hinges on the talk and reception it receives.. After Waltair Veerayya, Chiranjeevi’s movies like Bhola Shankar didn’t do well, and he’s not in a good spot right now.
Balakrishna has a new chance to show he’s the top star with Bhagavanth Kesari. If the movie makes a lot of money, he could be ahead of Chiranjeevi. Balakrishna has already matched Chiranjeevi in terms of making money from movies. If this Bhagavanth Kesari film manages to accumulate 80Cr+ or even 90Cr+ in shares, it could potentially tip the scales in his favor, pushing him ahead of Chiranjeevi. Already, Balakrishna has matched Chiranjeevi’s films in terms of business, and if Bhagavanth Kesari achieves blockbuster status, it could cement his position as the leading star in the industry.
It’s an exciting competition between these two big actors in Tollywood. Balakrishna’s new movie will be a crucial moment in their ongoing rivalry.
