The May jinx that Mahesh must break
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,March 27 2016]
It's not just Pawan Kalyan who ought to break the jinx by delivering a hit in Hindi with his debut Hindi film Sardaar Gabbar Singh (Pratibandh and Zanjeer, starring Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan, respectively, and both featuring the Mega heroes in cop roles, flopped), Mahesh Babu, too, faces the challenge.
It's the May jinx. In Mahesh's career, only two films have released in the month of May (the two other summer releases hit the marquee in April). Both the films flopped. They are Nijam and Nani. Brahmotsavam was to hit the marquee in April, which is a lucky month for Mahesh. Yuvaraju and Pokiri had released in April and while the former was an average grosser, the latter was a blockbuster.
Since Brahmotsavam's release is expected in May 6 (by the earliest), Mahesh faces the challenge of breaking the May jinx.
On the other hand, Prasad V Potluri, who has delivered Kshanam and Oopiri successively, has to deliver his hat-trick hit.
