Record Pre-Release Theatrical Business of 'The GOAT' For Thalapathy Vijay In Telugu States

Hyderabad, September 3 - The much-awaited Tamil action thriller The Greatest of All Time has scored the record pre-release theatrical business for Thalapathy Vijay in Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana).

Vijay's popularity has been soaring across the country, especially among the Telugu audience with each passing film which has been reflected in the theatrical business. According to the Telugu trade portals, Mythri Movie Makers has acquired the theatrical rights of the movie in AP/TG.



The film's AP/TG theatrical business has been valued at 21 crores, including 12 crores for the Andhra region. This is the highest pre-release business for Thalapathy Vijay in Telugu states, beating the previous record of Leo (16 crores).

The GOAT will need to score around 35 crores in gross collection to break even in AP/TG. Vijay's last film, Leo was a huge success in the Telugu market, grossing around 50 crores. With decent to positive talk, the upcoming movie can easily reach its target.

Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment, the film stars Vijay in dual roles as a father and a son, alongside Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Ajmal Ameer, Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren, and Yugendran.

It is scheduled to be released on September 5.
