First Tamil, Now Telugu: What A Comeback Story?

Ravi Teja went from being one of the most consistent heroes in Tollywood to one of the most doubtful in the last decade. He has been following up every hit film with at least 5 to 6 disasters, which took a severe toll on his market.

However, the senior hero has finally delivered a film to his potential in the form of Irumudi. This film is creating such a big sensation at the ticket counter that it can be termed as one of the biggest comebacks in the recent history.

This film has reportedly collected in the vicinity of ₹80 crore in the first weekend. This is one of the highest tallies for any regional Telugu film in the opening three day weekend.

To put that into perspective, the previous film of Ravi Teja Bharat Mahasayulaku Wignyapti has collected less than Rs 3 crore on opening day.

This will argue, ably go on as one of the greatest comeback stories for any senior hero recent times as Ravi Teja has fired with all cylinders, and that is showing at the box office.

Earlier, we have seen a remarkable comeback in Tamil cinema in the form of Karuppu. Surya delivered one of the most memorable comebacks in recent decades with this film and now, we are witnessing Ravi Teja, get on a similar trajectory.

It is great to see Tamil cinema and Telugu cinema fitness in the remarkable comeback stories of two of the senior stars who had delivered multiple memorable films in the past but had been struggling in recent times.
