Who is ‘Ceded Sultan’, Charan or NTR?

Young tiger NTR Jr is one of the biggest crowd pullers and the fact of his latest release ‘Janatha Garage’ raking record moolah despite unfavorable reviews proves this notion. Among all the business areas, Ceded is said to be the stronghold of NTR, based on his mass fan following. However, after learning about the Ceded deal of Ram Charan’s ‘Dhruva’, one wonders who the real Sultan of ‘Ceded’ is?

Ram Charan’s forthcoming release ‘Dhruva’ has started making humongous pre-release business. This Surender Reddy directorial is the Telugu remake of super hit Tamil action thriller ‘Thani Oruvan’. According to the latest update, Ceded distribution rights of ‘Dhruva’ were acquired for a mammoth Rs. 9 Cr. Apparently, this is the same price for which the ceded rights of NTR’s ‘Janatha Garage’ were sold for.

NTR achieved this record deal with the support of an in-form director like Koratala Siva and a complete mass entertainer genre film whereas Ram Charan had pulled off this feat with a not-so-commercial thriller. In fact, Dhruva director Surender Reddy delivered a dud like ‘Kick 2’ with his last effort.  With this view, fans have started discussing who is the real crowd puller in a massy area like Ceded, NTR or Charan?

Moreover, coming to the Vizag area, Charan once again proved his dominance by closing the distribution rights deal for Rs. 5.4 Cr whereas Janatha Garage could only do a business of Rs. 5.1 Cr.
