Dear Comrade put up an absolutely pathetic show at the box-office in Krishna and Guntur districts. Buyers in these regions faced heavy losses compared to the other areas.
One reason could be that the big heroes of Tollywood have a solid fan base in these places and caste is also one factor which is an inalienable part of the culture here.
Tollywood is dominated by the Kamma heroes and the Kapus now have an entire cricket team out there with Sai Dharam Teja’s brother as the 12th man.
Naturally, it becomes an uphill climb for someone like Devarakonda to create a dent here although he himself might have the backing of KTR. But what can poor KTR do for Devarakonda in Andhra?
They are in a position still where their family cannot set foot in AP without tight security.
