Mega Prince Varun Tej is enjoying a strong comeback at the box office with his latest film Korean Kanakaraju. The horror-comedy, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, is getting a positive response from audiences and is showing good growth in collections during the opening weekend.

According to the latest trade buzz, Korean Kanakaraju has crossed the Rs 35 crore gross mark worldwide in just three days. The strong numbers have become a major achievement for the team. The film has reportedly reached the break-even point in all areas within only three days, which has given the makers and distributors a big reason to celebrate.

The success is also special for Varun Tej. After a series of films that did not perform as expected at the box office, the actor has once again proved his box-office stamina. Korean Kanakaraju is being seen as a much-needed hit for the Mega hero and has brought fresh excitement among his fans.

The film received a positive response from the first day itself. The weekend numbers became even stronger, with the third day showing a clear improvement. The unique combination of rural entertainment, Korean elements, horror and comedy has helped the movie attract audiences.

The strong advance bookings for today have also created more confidence about the film's long run. Trade circles believe that the movie can continue to perform well in the coming days if the current trend remains the same.

The film is also doing well in overseas markets. In the USA, Korean Kanakaraju is moving close to the half-million-dollar mark. This overseas performance is another positive sign for Varun Tej and the movie team.

Varun Tej plays the lead role, while Rithika Nayak is the female lead. Satya's comedy timing has also received appreciation from audiences. Srinivasa Avasarala and other actors are part of the supporting cast.

With Rs 35 crore-plus gross in three days and break-even achieved across all areas, Korean Kanakaraju has emerged as a major success for Varun Tej. After a long gap, the actor is once again celebrating a big box-office victory. The coming weekdays will decide how far this Mega hero's latest film can go.
