Keerthy Suresh's Mahanati continues to keep the registers ringing at the ticket counters across the US in its second week and its collection has now crossed the $2 million mark at the US box office in 11 days.
Having opened to fantastic response, Mahanati went on to collect $1,954,946 at the US box office in its nine-day-extended first week.
