Multiple things are likely to work in the favour of N.T.R: Kathanayakudu. To begin with, the subject matter of the film. N.T.R: Kathanayakudu narrates the life and times of the NTR - from his acting career to his political career that included three terms as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The generations succeeding his, who have only heard about NTR's life would be excited to watch N.T.R: Kathanayakudu.

The cast of N.T.R: Kathanayakudu is also rather special. NTR is portrayed by his son, Nandamuri Balakrishna. Vidya Balan plays the role of his wife, Basavatarakam.

Another factor working in the favour of N.T.R: Kathanayakudu is its promotions. Krish, Nanadamuri Balakrishna and Vidya Balan have been visiting various cities to promote the film. The pre-bookings of N.T.R: Kathanayakudu were also started a week ahead of its release.  Some theatres were already sold out.

Additionally the Sankranthi/Pongal holidays are only going to add to the films collections.
