She soon set off for a flourishing career as she appeared in several popular films in significant roles such as Nani starrer Shyam Singha Roy and Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya starrer Bangarraju.
Uppena was released on February 12 two years ago and became a sensational success. On the occasion of the completion of 2 years, let us recall the records created by this film. #2YearsForUppena is currently trending on Twitter.
Vaisshnav Tej’ debut film Uppena did well even after a month of its release. It broke many records and also entered the 100 crore club. In the pre-release ceremony, when Sukumar said that this movie Uppena will definitely be a Rs 100 crore movie, everyone laughed. But later I realized that the film maker said it with confidence in the content. Buchibabu directed this movie in which Kriti Shetty was introduced as the heroine.
Vaisshnav Tej created record as the debut hero who achieved the highest collections on the first day: 10.32 crore share.. This record is not only in Telugu but in the whole of India in the first day collections. Vaishnav Tej is the first hero to collect more than Rs 50 Crore share from his first movie.
Vaisshnav Tej, is also the first hero to receive Rs 100 Crore gross from his first movie. The film has collected more than 120 crores through digital, satellite and theatrical. It brought profits of around Rs 35 crores to producers and buyers.
