The Nithiin and Samantha starrer A. Aa.. surprised everyone by taking over the box office on Thursday itself, the day of its release.

The first’s day share of the film in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh was nearly Rs 5.5 crore, which is very big for a Nithiin film.

But more than the stars, it’s director Trivikram who should get the credit. The director has a huge fan following, mostly because of his trademark dialogues, and there are many such dialogues in this film.

Trivikram films traditionally do well overseas and A. Aa.. too got a huge opening abroad, collecting Rs 1 crore on the first day. The film’s overall collection was nearly Rs 7 crore and the way it was grossing on Friday, it’s evident that it will be a blockbuster.

This film is very important for Trivikram, Nithiin and Samantha. The actress, especially, will heave a sigh of relief after the disappointment of Brahmotsavam.

Sam and Chaitu to make it official?

Samantha watched her film A. Aa.. with none other than Naga Chaitanya at a multiplex in Hyderabad. While the two tried to remain as inconspicuous as possible, a few people recognised them and clicked their pictures.

Samantha’s open association with Naga Chaitanya is interesting as she had announced recently that she would be marrying an actor from the industry. With the two now being seen in public, an announcement might be on its way.
