Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is all set to be back on the big screen with debutant director Bhanu Bogavarapu’s film Mass Jathara. The film is an action comedy and has Sreeleela opposite Ravi Teja. Over the past few years Ravi Teja has been struggling to attract masses at the box office, his last three releases Mr Bachchan ( Telugu remake of Ajay Devgn’s Raid), Eagle and Tiger Nageswara Rao were loss making ventures. And going by advance booking reports shared by Sacnilk, Mass Jathara is also finding it difficult to attract audiences. As per reports till 12 Noon, the film has only sold tickets worth Rs 83.71 lakh of which Rs 63.98 lakh has come from block booking. The film has been mounted on Rs 90 crore budget. Besides lack of connection, Mass Jathara has another major roadblock and that is the release of SS Rajamouli, Prabhas and Rana Daggubati’s Baahubali-The Epic. The re-cut version of both Baahubali films put together into a 3 hour 45 minute saga has already caught the imagination of the masses. As per some reports the film has already crossed Rs 10 crore mark just with advance booking making it the highest ever collection for a re-released film. Some trade pundits are even expecting the film to mint over Rs 22 crore on day 1, making a spot for itself in the 10 biggest day 1 collection of 2025. Baahubali series had opened the floodgates for films from south of India to be accepted in the whole country and its success has given films like Pushpa series, KGF franchise , RRR, Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire, Kalki 2898 AD and many more. Mass Maharaja’s Mass Jathara would need a serious change in its luck to have a respectable collection on day 1 and thereon.
