"Srimanthudu", which was released on 7 August, has completed a successful 100-day run in 15 theatres. Mahesh Babu will choose the lucky winner of his Cannondale bicycle on this occasion.
Despite clashing with some big-ticket releases, "Srimanthudu" completed a successful run in 99 cinema halls across the globe. Now, the Mahesh Babu and Shruti Haasan starrer has crossed another benchmark -- successful 100-day run in 15 screens.
In October, the makers of "Srimanthudu" had launched a charity sale of movie apparels in association with Livastar. Mahesh Babu's fans were asked to donate Rs 999 for the cause to be a 'Srimanthudu' in their own way. All the participants got a complimentary gift -- a T-shirt with Prince's autograph. But, the makers are yet to announce the lucky winner of the Cannondale bicycle worth Rs 3.5 lakh used in the movie.
