The rocking star of Kannada cinema Yash with his would be wife Radhika Pandit as co star in Santhu Straightforward` is really rocking in 222 screens in the first week. The net collection after theatre rent deduction is Rs.2.75 crore for first day, second day it is Rs.3 crore plus says proud producer of Kannada cinema K Manju addressing the media with director Mahesh Rao and actor Shaam sitting next to him.

A prestigious distribution office asked for Rs.25 crores outright. I did not agree for it. Telugu maker Chinnikrishna has come forward for this film remake right. He has made films like Indra, Badarinath, Narasimharaju and others. I would come next week with collections he promised.

Producer K Manju thanked the fans of Yash and Kannada audience for giving good initial support. The second week fifty plus theatres are going to increase for this film. This is a Deepavali bumper gift to the audience. Kannada audiences have not given up good films stated director Sham who firmly stated that this film is original in contents.
