Among the aforementioned films, Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Waltair Veerayya", and Nandamuri Balakrishna's "Veera Simha Reddy" have been produced by Mythri Movie Makers, one of the leading Telugu production houses. The studio was under extreme pressure before the release but after the opening weekend, it is having celebrations with the kind of response its films have got from the audiences.
