Itlu Arjun records Rs 1.05 crore net on opening day

Romantic drama *Itlu Arjun* starring Anish and Anashwara Rajan was released worldwide on Friday, November 13. Trade estimates put the film’s net collection at Rs 1.05 crore in India on day one.

Worldwide gross is projected between Rs 1.23 crore and Rs 1.24 crore. Paid premieres were held on Thursday night in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and bookings opened in both states. Trade circles say the film started with positive talk and expect collections to rise on Saturday and Sunday.

Pre‑release forecasts had the opening range at Rs 2‑3 crore, but the first‑day takings fell short of that band. This is Anashwara Rajan’s second Telugu film; her debut *Champion* opened with Rs 2.75 crore, and the current opening does not rank among her top‑five debut days.

Anish makes his hero debut, playing a mute youth. The film is directed by Mahesh Uppala and produced by Nagajuna under the Venkidi Kudumu Next Entertainment banner. Music is by S. Thaman, cinematography by Raja Mahadevan, and editing by Koti. Supporting actors include Vennela Kishore, Mukesh Rishi and Brahmaji. The movie received a U/A certificate. Promotions featured Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Akhil and Nagajuna.
