Year 2017 has started on a good note. Three films have really collected good moolah. Markets have expanded and million dollar club is not distant anymore. All of a sudden Mahesh Babu -A R Murugadoss's film and Pawan Kalyan's 'Katamarayudu' have perked up interests. 

Trade is hoping that Mahesh Babu's film will do a pre-release business of Rs 150 Cr at least. This is Mahesh Babu's 23rd film and is directed by A R Murugadoss. This adds up big time for the film.

Pawan Kalyan's 'Katamarayudu' is also being seen as a winning horse. Trade is confident that this film will do Rs 100 Cr pre-release business.
