Big Challenge for The Raja Saab in Nizam

In the Nizam region, there has been a continuous cold war between Mythri Movies and Dil Raju, with both openly targeting each other in the past for the theater count, which makes it tough for Prabhas’s upcoming film, The Raja Saab’s smooth release.

For Sankranthi 2026, the battle is set to resume, as Mythri Movies is releasing The Raja Saab, while Dil Raju is bringing multiple films, such as Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Nari Naari Naduma Murari. Meanwhile, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi is releasing through Asian Cinemas, which shares a strong relationship with Dil Raju. Both have jointly distributed several films before, so they are expected to work in coordination again.

Even dubbing films like Jana Nayagan and Parasakthi are being released by Dil Raju and Asian. This gives Dil Raju multiple releases during Sankranthi, while Mythri Movies is banking on the biggest budget and most hyped film of the season, The Raja Saab.

With so many films competing, a war for theatres is inevitable. The biggest challenge for Mythri Movies will be to secure and hold enough screens for The Raja Saab during the festival days.

Avatar Fire And Ash Faces Big Drop on Day 4 at India Box Office

From the pre-bookings, Avatar: Fire and Ash did not perform at the expected level, and after its release, the mixed word of mouth made the movie trend on a very average note at the box office. The film’s collections for four days in India are ordinary.

On opening day, the film collected 19 Cr nett. On Day 2, it saw a minimal jump with 22 Cr nett, and on Day 3, it collected 25 Cr nett. Overall, it collected 66 Cr net and 78 Cr gross over the first weekend. On Monday, the film saw a very big drop and collected only 1/3rd of Sunday’s collection, i.e., the range of 8 Cr – 9 Cr nett. 

So, for 4 days, Avatar: Fire and Ash’s nett collections in India are 75 Cr, and gross is 88 Cr, continuing the average trend, and the film is likely to join the 100 Cr club today.

The film needs a big jump on Christmas and New Year holidays to match at least half of Avatar: The Way of Water’s final collections.

Internet Erupts After Shivaji’s Comments on How Actresses Dressing

Dhandoraa, starring Shivaji, Navdeep, Bindu Madhavi, and Nandu, has created a strong buzz with its powerful trailer and impactful theme. The film is set to release this Christmas, with ticket prices fixed at ₹99 in single-screen theatres and ₹149 in multiplexes. Showing strong confidence in the film, the team has also planned early premiere shows starting today.

However, the film has landed in controversy even before its release. At the pre-release event of Dhandoraa, actor Shivaji made comments that quickly went viral and sparked heated discussions on social media.

Shivaji’s remarks about the way heroines dress in the Tollywood industry, especially off-screen, attracted severe criticism. He stated that wearing outfits that expose body parts does not define beauty. He further said that women should wear sarees and traditional clothing.

In his speech, Shivaji mentioned that people see motherhood in women and that women wearing sarees add beauty to nature itself. He recalled how legendary actresses like Savitri and Soundarya created a strong impact in the industry while wearing traditional sarees. He also pointed out that even in the current generation, actresses like Rashmika Mandanna have achieved success without wearing short or revealing outfits. Shivaji advised actresses to choose traditional attire over modern, revealing clothes.

He admitted that his words might hurt some people, but he expressed hope that following such values would be good for society.

Mohanlal For Chiranjeevi

Waltair Veerayya (2023) was a blockbuster at the box office, and the same combination is back for another film, which was officially announced a few months ago. The fans are happy as Chiranjeevi and Bobby are back for another entertainer, and more exciting news is that Mohanlal is playing a crucial role in the film.

The film is expected to go on floors early next year, and as said above, Mohanlal will appear in an important role alongside Chiranjeevi. Reportedly, it will be like a godfather to the hero’s character.

Chiranjeevi’s next film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is getting released on 12th January, while his other film, Vishwambhara, targets a summer 2026 release. His film with Bobby might continue the Waltair Veerayya sentiment by targeting the 2027 Sankranthi.

Rowdy Janardhana: Vijay Deverakonda Shocks With His Tranformation

After weeks of speculation, the makers of Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming film have officially announced the title as Rowdy Janardhana. The actor has surprised everyone with his striking transformation for the role.

Fans are thrilled as Vijay Deverakonda showcases a raw, ruthless, and intense avatar in the film. The teaser promises pure madness, backed by impressive technical quality and grand production values.

Keerthy Suresh plays the female lead, while Christo Xavier is composing the music. The film is directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, known for Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru. Veteran producer Dil Raju is producing the project, which marks the 59th film under his banner.

Vijay faced a failure with his recent release, Kingdom, and he is determined to make a massive comeback as a hero with this film.

Sankranthi 2026: Two Films Bet Big on Sankranthiki Vasthunam Theme

This Sankranthi 2026, two exciting films are set to hit theaters: Ravi Teja’s Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi and Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari. Interestingly, both films share similar storylines and are designed to appeal to youth and family audiences, making them perfect festival releases.

The teaser of Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi shows Ravi Teja playing a married man who gets involved in an affair with another woman and faces the consequences. The theme feels fresh for Ravi Teja, who is usually known for his mass masala entertainers.

On the other hand, the teaser of Nari Nari Naduma Murari introduces Sharwanand as a man preparing to marry the girl he loves, only to face a shocking twist when his ex-girlfriend suddenly appears at his office. The rest of the story revolves around how he manages this tricky situation, filled with humor and chaos.

Both teasers highlight a common concept: a man caught between two women. This formula has already proven to be a Sankranthi-winning theme, as seen in recent years. Family audiences particularly enjoy this genre, which is why both teams are confident about releasing their films during the festive season despite heavy competition.

Now, the big question is: who will win the audience’s love this Sankranthi: Ravi Teja or Sharwanand?

Koratala Siva and Balakrishna Need Each Other

Koratala Siva and Balakrishna Need Each Other

Akhanda 2, starring Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Srinu, did not receive the expected big success. Now, looking at the current situation, Koratala Siva and Balakrishna’s combination is the best one for both actor and director. 

Koratala Siva has consistently worked with big stars and big films. From Mirchi to Bharat Ane Nenu, he delivered four major successes before facing a setback with Acharya. After that, he bounced back with commercial success through Devara. His next project was supposed to be Devara 2, but repeated delays have led to speculation that the film may be shelved.

Koratala Siva is yet to start his next film, even after the commercial success of Devara

As a result, Koratala Siva has been free for over a year without any new commitments. The six Tier-1 stars are practically out of reach for him at the moment, as they are busy with their own projects. Even though Devara was a commercial success, it did not give Koratala the same momentum he enjoyed in his early days with Mirchi and Srimanthudu.

Beyond Tier-1 stars, the next best options for Koratala’s style of filmmaking are Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. However, another film with Chiranjeevi seems unlikely due to the failure of Acharya and reported personal differences between them.

That leaves Balakrishna as the most suitable choice. Both Balakrishna and Koratala Siva could benefit from such a collaboration. Balakrishna has delivered five consecutive ₹100 crore grossers, but his films have not reached the bigger range of ₹200–250 crore because family audiences are not fully engaging with them. Koratala, on the other hand, is known for balancing mass and class appeal, which is why his films consistently attract all sections of the audience and perform strongly at the box office.

Boyapati Srinu Misses His Final Chance

Boyapati Srinu Misses His Final Chance

Every director dreams of working with Tier-1 stars to deliver their biggest films and boost their career graph. Among the six current Tier-1 stars, Boyapati Srinu has already worked with NTR, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan in his career. However, his films with NTR and Ram Charan failed, making another collaboration with them highly unlikely.

Pawan Kalyan is carefully choosing his projects, and Boyapati’s style of filmmaking does not fit with his current commitments. Prabhas is already occupied with multiple projects, while Mahesh Babu is busy with his massive film directed by Rajamouli. Both stars are practically not showing any interest in working with Boyapati Srinu.

The only Tier-1 star who showed interest earlier was Allu Arjun. Their combination delivered the sensational blockbuster Sarrainodu, which played a huge role in boosting Allu Arjun’s mass appeal. Boyapati also had a long-standing commitment to Geetha Arts, leading to several discussions about another collaboration with Allu Arjun under that banner. However, Allu Arjun waited to see the result of Akhanda 2, as Boyapati was aiming for pan-India recognition. With Akhanda 2 failing to achieve that and drawing criticism, Allu Arjun is now also unlikely to show interest in working with Boyapati again.

Given this situation, Boyapati Srinu may have to turn to younger heroes or senior stars for his next project to revive his career. Working with Tier-1 stars in the coming years looks nearly impossible. He will need to prove his caliber with other films first before approaching Tier-1 stars again.

Padayappa Re-Release: 10-Day Box Office Collections

Rajinikanth’s Padayappa performed well upon its re-release at the box office and helped the theaters in Tamil Nadu to gather some considerable footfalls. Though the film did not surpass the re-release collections of Vijay’s Ghilli, it did very well. 

Padayappa has collected around 13 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, with 2 Cr gross in ROI, and 3 Cr overseas for 10 days at the box office. The total worldwide gross is 18 Cr, which is almost the closing numbers for the film. 

This is the 3rd biggest collection for any South Indian rereleases after Baahubali: The Epic and Ghilli. The re-release was a blockbuster, and there were expectations that it would cross Ghilli (30 Cr+), but it failed to beat those collections.

Meanwhile, Ramya Krishnan, the actress who played the iconic character of Neelambari, watched the film on the big screen and enjoyed it.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Overseas Rights Sold For Record Price

The overseas rights of the film, MSG – Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, have been sold in the ₹20 crore range. For this deal, the North America breakeven is estimated at $3.5 million, while the overall overseas breakeven stands at around $4.75 million.

The combination of Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi enjoys huge popularity in overseas markets, and with positive word of mouth, achieving these breakeven numbers should be easy for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. 

This project marks the biggest overseas business for both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi, and the film is already carrying strong buzz, with the first two songs receiving a very good response. Up next, a special song featuring Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi together is set for release, which is expected to take the hype to even higher levels.
