Upendra, known for his innovative stories and out-of-the-box narratives, has come up with his directorial venture UI: The Movie, where he appears in dual roles. The movie has lived up to expectations and is performing remarkably well at the box office.
With collections steadily growing from day one to day three, the latest sensation of Upendra has quickly proven that solid content, paired with a global message, can captivate diverse audiences. In its first three days, the film has crossed 400K ticket sales on BookMyShow, with audiences across both Telugu states and Karnataka flocking to theatres.
The film’s success meet was held in Vijayawada, where Upendra stated, “I don't direct films very often. The movies A and Upendra I made twenty years ago are still etched in your memories, and you continue to love them. It’s very satisfying to see that the same enthusiasm is now being shown towards UI.
I thank the Telugu audience for their immense affection. This film is different, and the audience is the true star of it. I made this film trusting you all. It’s been a pleasure to connect with all of you. Your support is motivating me to pursue more direction projects. Please watch this movie, and remember, the real stars are the audience.”
Meanwhile, additional theaters have been added in Karnataka, where the film is the biggest opener of the year.
The joint production venture of Lahari Films and Venus Entertainers was released in Telugu through Allu Aravind's Geetha Arts.
