Hyderabad, October 15 - Veteran Telugu star Nandamuri Balakrishna teamed with director Anil Ravipudi for the first time on the action drama Bhagavanth Kesari. Produced by Shine Screens, the movie has Kajal Aggarwal, Sreeleela and Arjun Rampal (Telugu debut) in prominent roles.

"Bhagavanth Kesari" is carrying good buzz among the fans as well as trade. NBK is coming after two back-to-back big hits in the form of "Akhanda" and "Veera Simha Reddy" which are also his only two films to cross the 100 crores gross mark at the worldwide box office. Anil Ravipudi too has proved his mettle with films like "Sarileru Neekevvaru" and "F2 & F3", so the combo of the actor and director is working well in the trade.



The upcoming movie, which is scheduled to hit theatres on October 19, is among the top movies of NBK in terms of the pre-release theatrical business. According to a report by Track Tollywood, the film has done a pre-release business of around 70 crores worldwide.

The Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) rights are said to be sold for 59 crores, including 15 crores for the Nizam area. The Rest of India theatrical rights have been done at approximately 4.50 crores while overseas business is around 6 crores. The movie will need to score 70 crores share or 110+ crores gross worldwide to break even and emerge as a clean hit.

"Bhagavanth Kesari" will have to face stiff competition from the fellow Telugu movie "Tiger Nageswara Rao", slated on October 20, and Thalapathy Vijay's "Leo" (dubbed) on October 19.
