TollywoodThe film released in Tamil on January 10 and has already grossed over Rs 155 crore worldwide.Tnm StaffThe Ajith starrer Viswasam will be hitting screens in the Telugu states on March 1. Releasing along with Kalyan Ram’s 118, Viswasam is expected to release in around 450 theatres in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The film released in Tamil on January 10 and has already grossed over Rs 155 crore worldwide. Viswasam missed simultaneous release dates in Telugu in January as Tollywood had three major movie releases during the month. Ram Charan’s Vinaya Vidheya Rama, Venkatesh and Varun Tej’s F2 and the first part of the Ntr biopic, Ntr Kathanayakudu, were confirmed Sankranthi releases and hence the chances of Viswasam faring well at the box-office were slim. Viswasam is finishing its 50-day run in theatres this week. According to reports, the Ajith starrer has collected Rs 25 crore overseas and has made Rs 130 crore in Tamil Nadu.
