A new record had been set in the 75-year history of Telugu cinema as ‘Pokiri,’the blockbuster Telugu movie, ran for 500 days in Karnool city. The Mahesh Babu-starrer, which was released on April 28, 2006, completed 500 days on Sunday. The movie is running in a small theater after completing 175 day on the big screen. This is the first time of the history of the Telugu film Industry that a movie has run for over a year. The Puri Jagannath-directed Pokiri surpassed the record of Premabhishekam, in which Akkineni Nageswar Rao played lead role. Premabhishekam ran for 365 days. However, Pokiri created several records, including running 100 days in 200 centres, 175 days in 63 centres, 200 days in 15 centres and 300 days in two centres.
