'Gautamiputra Satakarni' is in news once again. The Krish directorial is poised to transcend the record of a Mahesh Babu film in the US. It is 'Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'. By end of Jan 28 , 'GPS' grossed 1.64 million dollars ($1,649,717) and it has surpassed the USD 1.64 million mark of 'SVSC'.

The US market has always been Mahesh's forte. On the other hand, for Balayya, the historical legend is his first one-million dollar movie. After this, the Nandamuri Nata Simha could well eye the US market as a matter of routine. Sensing the potential, Balakrishna, Shriya and Krish toured five cities across America only recently.
