The National Award–winning actress who has gone above and beyond to promote her film, will no doubt take heart from this state leader’s stamp of support, which comes despite negative reviews of ‘Tejas’.
The opening weekend of ‘Tejas,’ starring Kangana Ranaut, was not very successful at the box office, and the film’s first Monday collection was below Rs 1 crore. A report on Sacnilk.com states that the Sarvesh Mewara directorial made Rs 50 lakh on its first Monday, bringing the total box office take to Rs 4.25 crore.
