Gangs of Godavari traded for Rs 6 cr in TS/AP?

A leading distributor, claims that the business of hotshot Vishwak Sen’s upcoming film ‘Gangs of Godavari’ has been good in the two Telugu states. “It has been sold for over Rs 6 crores plus in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and the deals for few more centres are going to be finalized soon," he says. The rural-based action film is slated for release on May 31 and expected to draw openings.

Vishwak Sen has some crowd-pulling prowess and he is doing a mass-centric role this time, so exhibitors are keeping their fingers crossed. “His earlier films like ‘Das Ki Dhamki’ and ‘Gaami’ attracted good openings and he is expected to repeat the same with 'Gangs of Godavari'," he adds.

He is expected to restore footfalls at theatres in Telangana. “He is a Telangana-born guy with a decent regional following. His fiery roles have fetched him following among masses too,” he informs. With most of the A-listers like Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Jr NTR, and Ram Charan having no releases in May last week or June 1st week, it is now the responsibility of new-age actors to pull in movie buffs back to theatres.
