FAQs About Skanda Movie
The much-hyped collaboration between Ram Pothineni and director Boyapati Srinu did not live up to expectations. Ten days after its release, it is clear that “Skanda” has failed to make an impact at the box office. The film flopped in all major regions of India including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and CED.
“Skanda” Rs. 57.50 crore with a worldwide share of Rs. 32.62 crores. However, with a recovery rate of just 69%, it is clear that the film is struggling to recover its production costs.
The villain of “Skanda” is played by Ajay Purkar, who plays the ruthless Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. His character goes to extreme lengths, including killing his own uncle, to prevent his daughter’s wedding, which is interrupted by her eloping with her lover.
Along with a double role, the film features Srikanth’s daughter, who is romantically involved with Bhaskar. This relationship plays a major role in the unfolding drama of the story.
Yes, Rama plays a double role in Pothineni’s ‘Skanda’. One character is Skanda, while the other is Bhaskar, who add a twist to the plot that keeps the audience engaged.
