Hyderabad's iconic Prasads multiplex has played a significant role in this success story, selling an extraordinary 7,300 tickets for the weekend. ALLU Cinemas, owned by Allu Arjun, has also contributed with 6,500 tickets sold, outperforming major exhibition chains. This overwhelming response in Hyderabad is a testament to the film's widespread appeal.

Despite negative reviews from the West, the excitement for 'Michael' remains undeterred.
