Janatha Garage mints 100cr worldwide NTR elated

NTR-starrer ‘Janatha Garage’, which released on September 1, has grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide in barely a week. Admittedly, the actor is thrilled with the response and thanks the audiences for their support.

"It feels good and I thank audiences for the support. I am very happy about the film's performance at the box-office. As for the numbers game, I have said it earlier; I do not attach much importance to it. Doing good films that appeal to me as an actor is more important to me," NTR said.

Directed by Koratala Siva, the film was made on a budget of Rs 50 crore. According to trade analyst Trinath, ‘Janatha Garage’ is the second fastest Telugu film to enter the Rs 100 crore club. "In just six days since its release, the film entered the Rs 100 crore club.

It's the second fastest film to achieve the feat after 'Baahubali'. The film has performed exceptionally well even outside Andhra and Telangana," Trinath said. In the US, according to the film's distributor Ficus Movies, the film has so far minted $1.6 million.

Puri miffed with NTR Arts?
As reported earlier, NTR is keen on working with Puri Jagannadh up next. But there’s a slight twist to this! Apparently, the director is keen on another production house to bankroll the project instead of Kalyanram’s NTR Arts.

“We don’t know what happened between Puri and Hari who oversees NTR Arts day-to-day affairs but the director is adamant on another producer. If NTR involves and addresses the issue, the chances of Puri relenting and going ahead with NTR Arts are high,” said a source close to Puri.
