Ram Charan Tej is giving stiff competition to the prince of box office Mahesh Babu. Ram Charan’s summer release Rachcha, which recorded biggest gross for the first day and first weekend, has ended up with the  highest ever first week collections ever in the history of Tollywood.

The movie has grossed a total of Rs 26.92 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka breaking Mahesh Babu starrer Businessman’s collections.

Here is a break up of collections issued by Rachcha publicity wing:

Nizam 7.5cr ceded 5.4cr Krishna 1.61cr Guntur 2.88 cr East 1.77cr West 1.65cr Vizag: 2.44cr Nellore 1.17cr

AP Total 24.42cr

Karnataka 2.5cr

Total: 26.92cr

With these kind of openings, Rachcha is likely to stay at the top in money spinning for some time. Unless, NTR’s Badshah can show real stamina.
