0

Asian Cinemas and Mahesh Babu came together a few years ago to launch AMB Cinemas, a multiplex that became a huge success and the top choice for movie lovers in Hyderabad. This successful partnership is now expanding further, with new projects planned in Bengaluru, the launch of AMB Classic at X Roads, and another multiplex coming up at Hakimpet in Hyderabad.

Earlier, Asian Suniel had officially announced that an IMAX screen would be coming to Hyderabad at the Hakimpet location. This news made audiences very excited. However, IMAX later clarified that there was no official agreement in place for an IMAX screen in Hyderabad, which disappointed many moviegoers.

AMB Cinemas Hakimpet: Will it Feature an IMAX Screen?

According to recent reports, construction had not started at the time of the announcement, and the team had not yet approached IMAX formally. The IMAX plan is still in the early stages, but the intention to bring IMAX to Hyderabad remains strong from Asian Cinemas and Mahesh Babu. As per the latest buzz, the IMAX screen is expected to open by mid-2027 if everything goes according to plan.

If this becomes a reality, it will be a dream come true for audiences in Hyderabad. Adding to the excitement, Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Varanasi is said to be the first Indian film shot in the IMAX format, and fans are eagerly waiting to watch it on an IMAX screen.

Anirudh Fails To Match Thaman

0

The Jana Nayagan team has created confusion around the film by not clearly stating that it is a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari, and after the film’s trailer’s release, music director Anirudh is facing criticism as he fails to match Thaman’s music in the original film. 

Until today, there were some doubts about the film, Jana Nayakudu being a remake, but the trailer has made it clear that the film is indeed a remake, with some changes made to suit Vijay’s political ambitions.

After the trailer launch, many people began comparing Jana Nayagan with Bhagavanth Kesari, and they are criticizing music director Anirudh, as many feel that the background score in the Bhagavanth Kesari trailer was much more powerful than the one used in Jana Nayagan.

Fans find Anirudh’s score for Jana Nayagan falls short when pitted against Thaman’s work in Bhagavanth Kesari

Thaman’s background score played a key role in the success of Bhagavanth Kesari, and the songs also worked well for the film. It remains to be seen whether Anirudh can create a similar impact in Jana Nayagan. But based on the trailers alone, many feel that Thaman has the upper hand.

If Prabhas Delivers with The Raja Saab, This Record Could Stand for Years

0

Prabhas is currently the only star in Indian cinema to deliver three consecutive ₹100 crore opening days with Adipurush, Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD, and if his next film, The Raja Saab, also achieves the same feat, his record could stand for years.

Vijay is the only hero who is close to joining the list of hat-trick 100 Cr grossers, having already delivered back-to-back ₹100 crore openings with Leo and The Greatest of All Time. He is now aiming for a third with Jana Nayagan.

If The Raja Saab also opens with ₹100 crore, Prabhas will achieve his fourth consecutive ₹100 crore opening day, extending his historic run. His next film, Spirit, is expected to open even bigger, possibly close to ₹200 crore, which suggests that the streak could continue.

Prabhas can show his superstardom at the box office with The Raja Saab and Spirit

At present, Vijay is the only other actor with consecutive ₹100 crore openings and is hoping to complete a hat-trick with Jana Nayagan. But, as he is planning to step away from acting, this streak may not continue further.

If The Raja Saab succeeds, Prabhas will stand alone as the only actor in Indian cinema with such a long run of consecutive ₹100 crore opening films. He already holds the record for the highest number of ₹100 crore opening days in Indian cinema.

Jana Nayagan Trailer: Bhagavanth Kesari With Vijay Political Ambitions

0

Thalapathy Vijay’s last film, Jana Nayagan, now has its trailer out in all versions, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, much to the happiness of fans. The trailer has put an end to the discussion of whether it is a remake or not. 

The trailer suggests that the film is a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari with some modifications. Vijay and Mamitha Baiju’s characters appear to be directly inspired by Balakrishna and Sree Leela from the original, while the villain’s backdrop and ambitions have been changed completely.

In Bhagavanth Kesari, the villain is a powerful businessman who controls politicians, and this setup is used to create conflict between the hero and the villain through Sree Leela’s character, after which the narrative takes a different turn. 

But Jana Nayagan’s trailer suggests that the story follows a political narrative focused on the hero’s political ambitions. It remains to be seen how this mix works at the box office. The trailer itself offers a lot of satire on current political leaders and elevates Vijay, including the last dialogue.

0

Toxic, the movie, is an ambitious project from Yash, who has taken more than a three-year gap from his last theatrical release. The film is announced to be released on March 19, 2026, and it needs a blast-mode trailer to raise the buzz among audiences. 

After KGF 2, Yash took a long break before signing his next project. He surprised many by choosing to work with non-star director Geethu Mohandas. Also, the makers are planning the film not just as a pan-Indian release, but they aim for an international project with an English version.

But audiences still do not have a clear idea about the film’s theme. The team released a short glimpse last year and has been unveiling character posters in recent days, but the response has been mixed. So far, the content revealed has not created strong excitement.

Yash’s Toxic needs a miraculous jump in the buzz

There have been continuous rumors about the film being postponed again, but the makers have firmly denied them and are sticking to the planned release date of March 19, 2026.

To create more buzz, the team is set to release the trailer on Yash’s birthday next week, January 8. This trailer is very important for Toxic, as it needs to make a strong impact, excite audiences, and generate significant hype around the project.
