In recent years, the Telugu diaspora in the United States has significantly increased, with some sources reporting the population doubling to over a million in just a few years. This growth has been reflected in the business of Telugu films, which has more than doubled since the mid-2010s. In addition to the increasing audience numbers, Telugu films benefit from higher-than-average ticket prices, with the average ticket price being 2-2.5 times that of Hindi films. Consequently, the top three grossers in the United States are Telugu films.
In time, more Telugu films will feature in the top ten grossers list. This year will see the release of Pushpa 2, which may challenge Baahubali 2. There is OG starring Pawan Kalyan which is highly anticipated and then there will be SS Rajamouli's next which has the potential to take the box office for an Indian film to completely another level.
