The Telugu version is titled “Thoofan” and stars regional stars like Sri Hari in Sanjay’s role. The movie has a running time of 125 minutes.

With its core subject of action, “Zanjeer” fell flat at the box office. But its Telugu version “Toofan” did well. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on the business done by the movie.

Taran tweeted, “Telugu film #Thoofan Friday business… Nizam – 3.10 cr Ceded – 72 lacs Vizag – 86 lacs Guntur – 75 lacs” He tweeted further, “Telugu version of Zanjeer collects 9cr. More than what most starcast Hindi films collect nationally on their first day”

‘Toofan’ first-week collections are as below:

Andhra Pradesh: Rs 11.06 crore (Nizam – Rs 5 crore; Ceded – Rs 1.7 crore; Guntur – Rs 1.12 crore; Vizag – Rs 0.8 crore; East Godavari – Rs 0.85 crore; West Godavari – Rs 0.5 crore; Krishna – 0.57 crore; Nellore – Rs 0.52 crore).

However if it fails to live up to expectations with original, the movie is bound to be affected. The movie faces competition from another Hindi movie release this week “Shudh Desi Romance” which is a youthful comedy.
