Srikanth Opens Seventh Strongest for Rajkummar Rao, Eyeing Steady Growth
Helmed by Tushar Hiranandani, Srikanth starring Rajkummar Rao, Jyothika, Alaya F, and Sharad Kelkar debuted to a box office opening of approximately Rs 2.25 crores. This marks the seventh highest opener among Rao's films, both lead and supporting roles.
While the opening day collections fell short of expectations, they still rank second among the actor's post-pandemic releases, trailing only Roohi, which garnered Rs 2.75 crores. The film's collection relies heavily on Rao's star power, unlike Rao's previous top six openers.
To achieve a substantial lifetime total, Srikanth must exhibit significant growth over the weekend and maintain strong levels during the weekdays.

Rao has several theatrical releases lined up for the year. His next film, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, featuring Janhvi Kapoor, is set for release on May 31st. Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Stree 2 are also in the pipeline.
