Mahesh Babu's last genuinely successful film was Srimanthudu that has created Non-Baahubali records at the box office.
He scored a 'hit' with Bharat Ane Nenu that barely broke even and his Maharshi too wasn't a clean hit despite becoming the highest grossing film in Superstar's career.
Fans pinned a lot of hopes on Sarileru Neekevvaru to help Mahesh reclaim the box office throne.
Megastar and his son are currently in hold of Non-Baahubali records and Mahesh cannot get a better film to set the records straight.
The buzz around Sarileru Neekevvaru is very high thanks to its energetic promos, Anil Ravipudi factor and of course the stellar star cast.
Coming out as the first biggie of the Sankranthi season, Sarileru Neekevvaru has the biggest advantage of posting huge numbers on its first day.
Sky is the limit if the word of mouth is positive from the general public. Mahesh is capable of scoring big hits every once in a while and this could be another Pokiri or Dookudu for him.
It will have to lock horns with other films during the festive season, but it has the potential to overpower its competition.
