Keerthy Suresh and Dulquer Salmaan’s Mahanati crosses $ 1 million mark at the USA box office

Mahanati continues its historic run in USA

Director Nag Ashwin’s Mahanati continues its historic run at the USA box office. The biographical drama has crossed the $ 1 million mark in less than a week, which is truly commendable. Looking at the current trend, we are expecting the film to shatter many box office records in the upcoming days.

Talking about the film and how he showcased the life of Savitri through the cinema, filmmaker Nag Ashwin said, “The film is very honest. Whatever was going on in that period is what we have tried to reflect. When she was younger, there was a certain mood and a certain way she behaved and the way the world was around her. When she became successful, how was it… And when she was in a sort of spiral, how was she and how the world was around her. That way, there’s no purposeful cinematic liberty in Mahanati. We have not forced any unnecessary things because there were enough highs and lows in her real story. We just had to space it out correctly. There was no need to add any heroism to it.”
