Mahesh Babu’s ‘Businessman,’ directed by Puri Jagannath, set a formidable benchmark as the biggest opener in terms of re-releases in Tollywood, raking in a massive 5.2 crore+ worldwide. Now, Vijay’s ‘Ghilli’ steps up to challenge this record.

With its re-release scheduled for Friday, anticipation is running high, evident from the sensational booking numbers indicating a potential new milestone in re-release openings.
The clash between the remake of Mahesh Babu’s film and his direct release adds an extra layer of intrigue to the showdown. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently immersed in ‘The Greatest Of All Time,’ directed by Venkat Prabhu, slated for release on September 5th. On the other hand, Mahesh Babu is gearing up for his upcoming collaboration with SS Rajamouli, with pre-production activities progressing swiftly for the highly anticipated project.
