It was barely 15 days back when Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor's 'mega project' Saaho turned out to be a huge disaster at the Box Office in South Indian states. Tamil Nadu, where Prabhas' fan base was, especially couldn't accept the film, and a week after release, Saaho was rejected altogether. It appears that Chiranjeevi-Amitabh Bachchan's mega project Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has gone through same fate, especially in Tamil Nadu.

After a week of its release, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, starring Chiranjeevi in the lead role, has barely managed to gross Rs. 3.5 crore at the Box Office in Tamil Nadu. Among this too, the distributor share stands at Rs. 1.7 crore in the state, states a report on IB Times.

The movie was expected to earn over Rs. 18 crore in Tamil Nadu, to be considered a profitable film at the Box Office. The makers of the film had fetched theatrical rights for Rs. 7.6 crore. While Sye Raa, made on budget of Rs. 200 crore, minted Rs. 3.5 crore in nine days, Saaho had grossed Rs. 12.2 crore there, with distributor share being Rs. 6.05 crore. The movie, at the time, was expected to cross Rs. 40-45 crore mark in order to achieve 'hit' status at Tamil Nadu Box Office.

Directed by Surender Reddy, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is produced by renowned actor Ram Charan. The movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kiccha Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Tamannaah Bhatia, Jagapathi Babu, Ravi Kishan, Anushka Shetty and Niharika Konidela in pivotal role.
