With the blockbuster success of Geetha Govindam, the spotlight is not only on its lead actors but also on Nani who has no relation to the movie. It is because the lead actor of Geetha Govindam, Vijay Deverakonda and Nani are pitted against each other.
Nani’s within one year from Nenu Local to MCA settled the debate about the top star among tier two heroes. He got the best openings with MCA and sealed the deal. However, many were quick to point out that Middle Class Abbayi had a considerable boost from Sai Pallavi. The combination worked out big time. Nani’s Krishnarjuna Yudham further gave them ammunition, and now, Geetha Govindam has reopened the debate again.
All eyes are on Nani’s next Deva Das. Although it is a multistarrer, Nani has a lot to gain from it undoubtedly. And that is where Rashmika Mandanna enters the scene. The actress, much like Sai Pallavi is hot among the youth with back to back successful films. She is paired with Nani in Deva Das. The question now is simple, will MCA’s box office reception repeat?
If Nani, additionally aided by Nagarjuna, can open Deva Das bigger than Geetha Govindam on opening day, he would hold on to his position until it is rechallenged. We have to see how well Rashmika’s craze is used in the combination which is already looking solid. Deva Das arrives in cinemas on September 27th.
