Tollywood producer admits box office collection numbers are inflated

Tollywood producer admits box office collection numbers are inflated

Producer Naga Vamsi makes Telugu movies, which are very popular with many fans.

Movie companies often put up posters that say how much money a movie earned.

Naga Vamsi said these numbers are not always exact.

He admitted that movie companies usually make the numbers a little bigger.

He said they do this to make fans happy, not to trick people.

He said if a movie really earns Rs 100, the company might say Rs 110.

He also said they do not tell very big lies, like saying Rs 200 for a Rs 100 movie.

Other companies that count movie earnings sometimes report different, smaller numbers.

For example, one movie was said to have earned Rs 56 crore on its first day, but a tracker counted about Rs 41 crore.

So the numbers on posters and the real numbers are often not the same.
