Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju Crosses ₹50 Crore Mark Worldwide

Varun Tej has scored a significant box office success with his latest film, Korean Kanakaraju, which has now grossed over ₹50 crores globally. This marks a notable achievement for the actor, whose recent releases had not reached this level of commercial performance. Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the horror-comedy opened to an impressive first weekend and managed to sustain momentum through the weekdays, despite facing competition from Vishwanath And Sons during its second weekend.

The film features Ritika Nayak as the female lead, with Satya, Muralidhar Goud, Srinivas Avasarala, and Master Revanth in important supporting roles. Korean Kanakaraju is produced by UV Creations in association with First Frame Entertainments, and the music is composed by Thaman. The collaboration between these production houses and the creative team has been credited for the film's strong showing at the box office.

Industry sources highlight that Korean Kanakaraju’s performance is particularly impressive for a mid-range Telugu film, as it managed to hold its ground even with new releases entering the market. The film’s blend of horror and comedy has resonated with audiences, contributing to its sustained collections. Social media has seen positive chatter around the film’s entertainment value and Varun Tej’s performance, further boosting its reach.

With Korean Kanakaraju crossing the ₹50 crore milestone, Varun Tej and the team have delivered one of the standout box office results for Telugu cinema in recent months.
