'Liger', 'Sita Ramam', & More: 6 Upcoming Films Where Bollywood Meets Tollywood

With rising success of pan-India box office hits like RRR and Pushpa: The Rise, filmmakers are gearing up with more films bringing Bollywood and Tollywood stars together. The box office collection of RRR was a little over Rs 275 crores and Pushpa: The Rise crossed the Rs 300 crore mark across the country. On the other hand, Bollywood films like Akshay Kumar-starrer Samrat Prithviraj made a meagre Rs 65 crore approximately. Even though the Anil Kapoor and Varun Dhawan starrer Jugjugg Jeeyo did fairly well, it made Rs 79 crore approx after its fourth week.

Apart from films, even OTT shows, like the second season of the Amazon Prime original series The Family Man (starring Manoj Bajpayee, Sharib Hashmi, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu) saw a huge success across the country.
