Following disappointments like "[Acharya](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/acharya)" and "[Godfather](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/god-father)," Megastar [Chiranjeevi](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/konidela-chiranjeevi) encounters yet another setback at the box office with his recent release, the family drama "[Bholaa Shankar](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/bholaa-shankar)." Industry analysts foresee substantial losses, estimating a staggering Rs 35-40 crore deficit for this high-budget venture.

Notably, "[Bholaa Shankar](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/bholaa-shankar)" has faced a complete setback in the Nizam region. During its initial Sunday screening, the film merely accumulated a meager share of Rs 81 (excluding GST) at Nizam's ticket counters. The cumulative Nizam share for the film's three-day opening weekend stands at Rs 5.20 crore. With approximately Rs 22 crore invested in "[Bholaa Shankar](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/bholaa-shankar)," the film remains Rs 17 crore short of breaking even—a daunting challenge.

The movie is an authorized adaptation of Tamil actor Ajith's blockbuster action-packed family drama, "Vedalam." In the wake of this recent disappointment, fervent followers of Megastar [Chiranjeevi](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/konidela-chiranjeevi), disheartened by his series of remakes, are ardently hopeful that he will now exclusively opt for original scripts.
