Officer performed much below the expectations on its opening day at the box office. The collection of Nagarjuna and Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV film comes as a shock to several film analysts.
Nagarjuna Akkineni and Controversial film maker Ram Gopal Varma joined hands for cop based drama Officer after 25 years and finally the movie was released yesterday on 1st June 2018. On its opening day, Officer takes a disastrous start in USA. According to the traders report, Nagarjuna starrer Officer has collected $27,176 From 52 Locations whereas Raj Tarun and Amrya Dastur starrer romantic and comedy entertainer Raju Gadu earned $7,632f 39 Locations. Both the movies have failed to get good response from movie lovers.
The trade analyst Jeevi took to twitter to share the collection figure of Officer and he wrote on the wall of Twitter, “#Officer collects $27,176 from 52 locations through premieres in USA.

Officer is produced by Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV under the banner R Company Productions. Myra Sareen plays the female lead role in this action thriller. Apart from Nagarjuna and Myra Sareen, the film Officer has other stars like Feroz Abbasi, Sayaji Shinde and Ajay in supporting roles. The film has the music by Ravi Shankar.
In 1989, Ram Gopal Varma and Nagarjuna delivered a hit movie Siva. So expectations were high!
Interestingly, RGV is going through a bad phase on the professional front. And, needless to say, Officer was a crucial movie for him. On the otherside, recently Nagarjuna also announced that RGV will helm a movie for his younger son Akkineni Akhil. In the month of March RGV has confirmed this news as he tweeted, “Just love the circle of life @iamnagarjuna produced my debut #Shiva and now after some 25 years I produced Nagarjuna’s #Officer and now in a full circle Nagarjuna is producing @AkhilAkkineni8 ‘s film with me as director.” After the release of Officer, Nagarjuna fans are fired on RGV and now we have to wait and see whether Nag gives another chance to flop director RGV to direct a movie for Akhil.
