Nani’s latest action-thriller Saripodhaa Sanivaaram has shown promising results at the box office, with the film earning over ₹14 crore in its first two days of release. The movie, which debuted in theatres on August 29, collected ₹5.75 crore on its second day, as reported by Sacnilk. The total domestic collection for the film now stands at ₹14.75 crore.
Directed by Vivek Athreya, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram stars Nani as Surya, a man who battles with his anger. The unique storyline revolves around Surya’s struggle to control his rage, as he is advised by his mother to reserve his anger for Saturdays. Throughout the week, Surya compiles a list of grievances and seeks vengeance on those who have wronged him, but only on Saturdays.
In a recent interview with ETimes, Nani shared his expectations for the film’s performance. He noted that while Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is primarily a Telugu release, it is also being made available in Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. Nani emphasized that the film is not intended to be a pan-India blockbuster but rather aims to reach audiences who have been following his work on OTT platforms. “I’m not looking at Saripodhaa Sanivaaram as a pan-India film. It is for people who want to watch the film in their own language. I’m just trying to make the film available to those who have started watching me on OTT or otherwise,” Nani explained.
He further clarified that he is not comparing Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with high-profile films like RRR, Pushpa, or Baahubali. “This is not to make any numbers or to be called a pan-India film etc. I’m just a humble actor coming with a humble film,” he added.
Ahead of the film’s release, Nani had a chance encounter with his Eega co-star Samantha Ruth Prabhu during a flight. Samantha shared a selfie with Nani on social media, wishing him good luck for Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, which was well-received by fans.
Produced by DVV Danayya’s DVV Entertainment, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram also features a talented cast including Sai Kumar P, Abhirami, Aditi Balan, Murali Sharma, Priyanka Mohan, Jhansi, and Supreeth. The film’s performance at the box office underscores Nani’s continuing appeal and the audience’s interest in unique, story-driven cinema.
