Varun Tej’s horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju has entered its second weekend with steady audience response in the Telugu states, according to 123telugu.com. The Merlapaka Gandhi directorial held up through its weekdays after a strong opening weekend, despite competition from other releases. The film stars Ritika Nayak and features Satya, Muralidhar Goud, Srinivas Avasarala and Master Revanth in key roles.

GreatAndhra reports that the film has entered the profit zone across all territories and crossed one million ticket sales collectively on BookMyShow and District. The production team is planning two success celebrations and continuing promotions. UV Creations and First Frame Entertainments produced the film, with music by Thaman.

The film’s return to profitability is a welcome result for Varun Tej after a run of flops, but promotional claims should not be treated as final box-office proof. Ticket sales on two booking platforms show reach, while actual distributor returns and sustained weekday occupancy matter more. The useful test is whether Korean Kanakaraju can keep theatres and collections stable through its second week, especially with competing releases still in play.
