Vaisshnav Tej breaks Ram Charan’s long-standing record

For the unversed, Ram Charan‘s debut film, Chirutha stood as the highest grossing Telugu film starring a debut hero in the lead role. Now, Vaisshnav Tej‘s Uppena has broken this long-standing record.

While, Chirutha collected Rs 25.11 crores in its full run, Uppena surpassed this figure in just 3 days as the film minted Rs 26.78 crores in its first weekend itself.

It took 14 years for Chirutha’s record to be broken and incidentally, a mega hero achieved the feat.

Vaisshnav Tej could not have asked for a better start to his acting career as his maiden film is now the highest grossing Telugu film which stars a debutante in the lead role.

What’s more? Uppena has also joined an elite list of Telugu biggies by posting solid figures on its third day. The film collected Rs 8.26 crores on its third day and is next only to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Saaho, Rangasthalam, DJ, and Bharath Ane Nenu.
