Industry bigwigs have already billed it as ‘clash of titans’ as the Akkineni’s much-awaited film ‘Manam’ set to clash with ‘Vikramasimha’ on May 23rd and who would draw more openings, is being debated.

One group feels that Akkineni’s have an upper hand since its the last film of legendary ANR and also Nag and Naga Chaitanya are sharing screen space and pretty damsels Shriya and Samantha will add glam and music of Anup rubens is selling like hot cakes. Similarly, Rajini’s charisma is largely intact and his last release ‘Robo’ rocked raked in more than 50 crore collections and even viewers would like to watch B-town diva Deepika in a new avatar and Rahman’s music will be a value additions.

Can Akkinenis’ buck Rajini’s charisma and draw more openings, since investments in both the films combined is around 50 crores, so Nag have found a new rival in Rajnikanth this season. Who’ll emerge winner?
