Sree Vishnu’s Single emerges as a summer hit – A closer look at budget, business and profits

Young and talented actor Sree Vishnu has proven himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Telugu film industry. His latest release, Single, a comedy entertainer, has been a major success, solidifying his place among the most reliable actors for producers.

Released on May 9, 2025, the movie had a decent opening, and the collections soared with each passing day, thanks to the positive word of mouth, with a global gross of around Rs. 19 crore by the end of its fourth day. This marks a significant achievement in Sree Vishnu’s career, showcasing his growing appeal with the audience.

Business and Break-even: A Big Win

According to industry reports, Single was made on a budget of approximately Rs. 11 crore, including all production expenses. The surprising aspect is that the non-theatrical rights -including OTT, satellite, and audio rights – were sold for a combined amount of around Rs. 12 crore, already covering the movie’s budget through these deals alone.

Reports suggest that the theatrical share has brought in Rs. 10 crore, making the film a profitable venture for its makers. The fact that Single reached break-even in just 3 days in many areas of distribution has made it a safe investment for everyone involved, from producers to buyers.

A Bright Future for Sree Vishnu

With minimal competition in the market this week, the film is expected to continue its steady run at the box office, with collections likely to remain healthy. This performance has made Single a major summer hit, bringing in profits for all those involved in the production and distribution.

For Sree Vishnu, the success of Single now brings with it added responsibility. The actor’s recent success has heightened expectations, and he has three confirmed projects in the pipeline – Mruthyunjaya, a film with Amrutham creator Gunnam Gangaraju, a family entertainer, and a film set against a forest backdrop. In addition, rumours are growing that he is doing another movie under the Geetha Arts banner with Aay director Anji K. Maniputhra. Expectations are now rising, and it remains to be seen how he will continue to impress both audiences and producers alike.
