Thalapathy Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Varisu has been garnering rave reviews from the critics and the audience for its incredible storyline. Varisu opened with a bang in cinemas on January 11 and earned Rs 46.2 crore worldwide. However, the film is estimated to have made between Rs 18 crore and Rs 20 crore on day two in India. This comes after Varisu reportedly opened to a staggering Rs 28 crore in India.
Some reports also suggest that Varisu lost nearly 300 shows in Karnataka on its second day, making its theatrical run a difficult one in the South state. On its release day, the film had 757 screenings in Bengaluru but it came down to 466 screenings the following day.
Now, rumour has it that Rashmika Mandanna was “partly” responsible for the drop in the number of shows in the state. The media reports indicate that it’s happened because of last year’s controversy against the Pushpa actress when she didn’t name the production house Paramvah Studios while talking about the success of her debut film Kirik Party during an interview. Rashmika made her acting debut with Kirik Party in 2016 opposite Rakshit Shetty. Rakshit is the co-founder of Paramvah Studios. The film was directed by Rishab Shetty of Kantara fame.
Kirik Party was one of the most successful Kannada films of 2018. The movie, which marked Rashmika Mandanna’s debut and shot her to fame, also starred Samyukhta Hegde and Achyuth Kumar in lead roles. As the romantic comedy completed six years recently, its director Rishab Shetty shared a throwback post on his Instagram account and tagged everyone except Rashmika Mandanna amid rumours of feud between them.
Meanwhile, Varisu is directed by Vamshi Paidipally. The action-drama is about a man whose foster father unexpectedly dies, and his life completely changes. This mass entertainer shows how the protagonist tries to resolve all the family problems. The movie also stars Prakash Raj, Khushbu, Prabhu, Yogi Babu and Sangeetha in key roles. It was released in multiple languages on January 11 along with Thunivu.
The film is clashing with Ajith Kumar starrer Thunivu. It is helmed by H Vinoth. It also has a stellar star cast including Manju Warrier Samuthirakani and Pavan Reddy in important roles. The heist is backed by Boney Kapoor.
