Producer Allu Aravind is proud and happy that his latest Telugu production venture “Dhruva“, starring Ram Charan, has emerged successful at the box office despite the demonetisation gloom.

“‘Dhruva’ has become the second biggest grosser in Ram Charan’s career and one of the biggest hits of Telugu film. I’m proud of its success because it drew audiences to the cinemas despite the cash crunch due to demonetisation,” Aravind said in a statement.

With three blockbusters to their credit, Aravind’s Geetha Arts had a fabulous run in 2016.

“Our first release ‘Sarrainodu’ stood as industry’s biggest hit. It was followed by the success of my son Allu Sirish’s ‘Srirastu Subhamastu’,” he said.

Last year, Aravind also tasted success with the Kannada release, “Sundaranga Jaana”.
