Srikanth Box Office Day 18: Rajkummar's Film Predicted To Hit Lowest Earnings

Srikanth Box Office Collection Day 18 Prediction: Rajkummar Rao's recent release, Srikanth, has been making headlines. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, Srikanth is a biopic on Srikanth Bolla, a visually-impaired industrialist and the founder of Bollant Industries. Rajkummar plays the titular role, with Sharad Kelkar, Alaya F, and Jyothika in lead roles. The movie opened to rave reviews from the audience.

Srikanth had been creating significant buzz ever since it was announced and marked one of Rajkummar's finest performances on screen. Given the substantial interest, Srikanth managed to rake in Rs 2.25 crores on its release day, followed by an impressive opening weekend. With no major releases during the entire month, this Rajkummar Rao directorial has maintained a good hold at the box office despite continuous drops during weekdays.

According to a report published in Sacnilk, Srikanth had a strong third weekend, minting Rs 2.1 crores on day 16 (third Saturday) followed by an estimated Rs 2.35 crores on day 17 (third Sunday). This reportedly took the overall collection of the movie to Rs 37.10 crores. Given the buzz, Srikanth is expected to witness a major dip in collections today (day 18/third Monday) and is likely to record its lowest collection so far, estimated between Rs 80 lakhs to Rs 1 crore.

Interestingly, as Rajkummar enjoys the success of Srikanth, he is also gearing up for his second release - Mr and Mrs Mahi with Janhvi Kapoor, set to release on May 31. Helmed by Sharan Sharma, the movie marks Rajkummar's second collaboration with Janhvi after Roohi. Recently, Janhvi spoke candidly about the movie and said, "Our director is a purist and works with a lot of honesty, so he wanted me to become a cricketer for the film. He didn't want any cheating on that, didn't want to use VFX or do anything half-heartedly. He wanted me to be one with this universe, be a cricketer wholeheartedly. I suffered a lot of injuries as well while prepping. Both my shoulders were dislocated, but I'd like to give all the credit to him, the director, and both my coaches Abhishek Nayar and Vikrant sir, who have done a lot of hard work and have held my hand at every turn."
