The tweet read, “Rs 7 lakh 35 thousand Worth Ring Garland from My Team Bangalore City Kingmakers, for Thunivu… Celebrations Tomorrow.”
On the other hand, we have Vamshi Paidipally’s Varisu, starring Thalapathy Vijay. Giving tough competition to Ajith Kumar’s Thunivu, the family actioner also opened to packed theatres.
