Andhra King Taluka, the Ram Pothineni starrer coming-of-age drama which arrived in theatres on November 27, did not perform upto the mark at the box office. Now reports are coming in that the makers are going for a standard 4-week theatrical window before their film arrives on OTT — Andhra King Taluka is reportedly set to begin streaming on Netflix, from December 25 onwards.
The makers are yet to confirm the same. The film was produced by Mythri Movie Makers banner. Directed by Mahesh Babu P, Andhra King Taluka also starred Bhagyashri Borse, Murali Sharma, Rahul Ramakrishna, Rao Ramesh in ensemble cast, and Upendra in an extended cameo.
While there were some hopes that the film will get some advantage in its second week at the boxoffice due to unexpected postponement of Akhanda 2, The Ram Pothineni showed little signs of improvement. After collecting 1.14 crore on its second Sunday, the film witnessed major decline on 3rd Monday, collecting Rs 0.26 crore (nett), according to a report from Sacnilk.com. As of December 8, the film’s collections stand roughly near Rs. 30.5 crore.
Reportedly made on a budget of 56 crore, the film has failed to be a profitable venture for its distributors. According to some reports, Ram Pothineni did not take a remuneration for this film, instead got the distribution rights revenue for two territories.
