Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju has opened on a strong note at the box office, reportedly collecting around ₹9 crore worldwide on its first day, including premiere shows. More importantly, the opening marks the highest first-day collection of Varun Tej’s career, giving the actor a new personal box office record.
Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, Korean Kanakaraju is a horror-comedy that blends supernatural elements, humour and Korean-themed twists. Varun Tej plays the lead role, with Ritika Nayak as the female lead and Satya contributing to the film’s comic portions.
The film’s opening has also been followed by success celebrations, with the cast and crew coming together soon after the release. Several prominent names from the film industry, including Sai Durgha Tej, Lavanya Tripathi, Niharika Konidela and directors Krish, Harish Shankar and Vassishta, were among those who attended the celebrations.
The reported ₹9 crore Day 1 worldwide gross is particularly significant for Varun Tej, as it surpasses the opening-day numbers of his previous films and now stands as his career-highest first-day collection. The strong start gives Korean Kanakaraju an encouraging platform heading into the crucial weekend.
The film’s Saturday and Sunday collections will now be closely watched to see whether it can maintain the momentum and turn its career-best opening into a successful theatrical run.
