Internationally, the USA is one of the biggest markets for Telugu films. Over the years, the country has witnessed a significant increase in the Telugu population, thus helping the Tollywood films to mint big moolah. From Tollywood, Jr NTR is one such actor who has built a strong and loyal fan base there. And now, with the halo effect of RRR coming into play, his latest action entertainer has hit it out of the park.

For those who don’t know, RRR had registered an outstanding start of $5.5 million at the North American box office (USA and Canada), which equals 46.04 crores in INR.
