Anand Deverakonda's 'Epic' Needs Over ₹10 Crore Share for Break-Even

Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya headline 'Epic', a romantic drama directed by Aditya Haasan, which is generating considerable attention ahead of its paid premieres scheduled for this evening. The film, inspired by the character Aditya from the #90’s web series, marks another notable project for Anand Deverakonda, who continues to explore diverse roles in Telugu cinema.

Trade reports indicate that 'Epic' must collect over ₹10 crore share worldwide to achieve break-even status and be considered a safe venture for its producers. The film is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with music composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab. Shivaji and Vasuki also play important roles in the ensemble cast.

The trailer for 'Epic' has sparked discussions online, particularly for its adult themes, making it a talking point among Telugu audiences. Social media reactions have been swift, with many noting the bold narrative approach. According to trade sources, if the film receives favorable reports from tonight's paid premieres, the resulting buzz could help it reach its financial target.

Earlier this year, the teaser for 'Epic – First Semester' drew attention for its vibrant London backdrop and fresh take on romance, setting expectations high for the full release. As the film prepares to test its fate at the box office, industry watchers are keenly observing whether the buzz will translate into the necessary collections for a successful run.
