Hanu Man is made on a big-budget when considering the market of Teja Sajja and Prashanth Varma. As they are confident in the film, the makers spent lavishly and they wanted a wide release during the Sankranthi season. Guntur Kaaram, Saindhav and Naa Saami Ranga are the other films that are releasing during the season. The team of Hanu Man has been struggling to get decent number of screens and they opted out to early premieres from tomorrow evening across AP and Telangana.
The pre-release sales are just outstanding and all the shows are getting sold out in minutes. More than 150 premiere shows across AP and Telangana are sold out which is sensational for a small film like Hanu Man. The team should have preponed the film and the release the film on January 11th so that a majority of the budget would have been recovered. But the premiere shows decision is working out big for Hanu Man. As the other Sankranthi releases are having stars, Hanu Man is the only one in the rock bottom when considering the budgets and star power.
But the premiere sales are making it clear that Hanu Man is expected to give a tough competition for all the films. There are talks that Tollywood has under-estimated Hanu Man. We have to wait to see which film will win in the race.
