Duvvada Jagannadham stars Pooja Hedge playing Allu Arjun’s love interest and the film’s supporting cast includes, Vennela Kishore, Rao Ramesh, Tanikella Bharani, Jeeva, Murli Sharma and Prabhakar among others. The film has been written and directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Dil Raju under the banner Sri Venkateswara Creations. Composer Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music of the film that has turned out to be quite a hit.
The film opened to mix reviews on Friday 23rd June, but as is the case with most films starring big stars, the reviews matter the least. Allu Arjun’s star power brought the audiences to the theaters in big numbers and the box office collection of the film over the weekend speaks for itself. Duvvada Jagannadham follows the life of a police officer who is undercover as a Brahmin cook to investigate a high profile case. The combination of action and comedy in the film seems to be a hit among the audience.
DJ is racing towards the 100 crore mark at an exceptional pace, the fastest for an Allu Arjun starrer. The film is looking to rake in big numbers on Monday, owing to the Eid Holiday. Going by the film’s weekend box office collection, looks like, this one’s onto something big.
