Tug of War between Nandamuri and Chiranjeevi

It is always been a tug of war for records between the fans of Nandamuri (Bala Krishna and NTR Jr.) and Chiranjeevi (Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan). Here is a comprehensive data sheet of centers records in the past 5 years. Initially Bala Krishna had a double consecutive industry record in the form of Samara Simha Reddy and Narasimha Naidu. After that, battles are won by each party alternatively. Now it's Nandamuri turn to create a new record. Will NTR's SAMBA - releasing on 9th June - do the trick?

Pawan Kalyan's Kushi and NTR's Aadi were in the vicinity of breaking records. But due to some unknown reasons, these films were not termed as industry records in the terms of number of centers. But the collections-wise, these two films are considered to be at par with industry hits (the total gross and total share amounts discussed everywhere is a speculative figure as no producer has officially declared the real total shares). Here is the comparative chart of Pawan Kalyan's Kushi and NTR's Aadi
