Ram Pothineni is one of the Telugu cinema industry’s most bankable stars. He’s had a lot of hits. However, for some reason, he was unable to break into the US market.
Ram Pothineni has never had a movie gross more than $1 million in the United States. So it’s his weak market. “Nenu Sailaja” was his biggest hit in the United States until now.
Given these conditions, “Skanda,” a straight-up mass film, is actually doing better in the United States. So far, the film has earned $231k. It is expected to perform well on Saturday and Sunday as well. The film will easily surpass $300 million in its first weekend.
None of these films, “The Warrior,” “iSmart Shankar,” or “Hello Guru Premakosame,” gross more than $300k in their whole run in the United States.
Director Boyapati’s previous film “Akhanda” was a box office success in the United States. As a result, “Skanda” took good opening.
