Varanasi Overseas Madness: Distributors Line Up with Record Offers

Distributors are going crazy over Varanasi, especially overseas buyers, who believe the film can deliver never-before-seen numbers for an Indian film in international markets, such as North America. Although the producers have not officially opened the business yet, distributors are already approaching them with record-breaking offers.

The latest buzz is that a distributor has reportedly offered ₹100 crore for the North American rights of Varanasi. This would mean the film needs to gross over $20 million in the USA alone just to break even. Even after receiving such a massive offer, the makers have not locked the deal and are still holding back from opening the business.

Varanasi’s Hype in the Trade is Unprecedented

Typically, producers would immediately close such record offers by taking advances. However, driven by strong confidence in the film, the producers are not committing to any deal yet, despite the unprecedented numbers being quoted.

Till now, no Indian film has received an outright ₹100 crore+ offer from the distributors for the entire overseas market, but Varanasi is reportedly getting that figure from North America alone.

Nani Birthday Blast: The Paradise’s New Plans to Be Revealed

Nani’s big-budget pan-Indian film The Paradise is currently progressing at a brisk pace, and the makers have planned a special gift for fans on the actor’s birthday. Directed by Dasara fame Srikanth Odela, the film is a powerful gangster drama that has already created massive buzz.

Nani will be seen in a completely different and intense role named “Jadal.” The first glimpse gave audiences goosebumps, and his rugged new look has taken the hype to another level.

The makers have now begun shooting the film’s grand hero introduction song titled “Aaya Sher.” This intro song is being mounted on a massive scale and is planned as one of the biggest hero introduction numbers ever. Nani will groove with over 600 dancers, with spectacular choreography by Sundhan, backed by Anirudh Ravichander’s electrifying music.

The Paradise Team’s Birthday Gift to Nani’s Fans

The promo of the intro song will be released on February 15 (Shiva Ratri), while the full song will be unveiled on February 24, marking Nani’s birthday.

Earlier, the team of “The Paradise” had announced March 26 as the release date for the film’s first single. But the latest reports suggest that the makers are now planning to release the movie by the end of June.

Jana Nayagan One Step Away from Release Date Announcement

Finally, there is major relief for the makers of Jana Nayagan as the Madras High Court has permitted the withdrawal of the film’s writ petition, effectively clearing all legal hurdles for its release. This decision allows the CBFC to move ahead with the Revising Committee process.

If the film successfully clears the Revising Committee, the makers of Jana Nayagan are expected to announce the release date immediately. The team is keen on releasing the film within this month.

Directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Venkat K. Narayana under the KVN Productions banner, Jana Nayagan holds special significance for fans, as the film is expected to be Thalapathy Vijay’s final acting project before he steps fully into politics with his party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam.

The film features Vijay in the role of Thalapathy Vetri Kondan (Vetri), an IPS officer who fights for the common people. Pooja Hegde plays the female lead, Kayal, while Bobby Deol appears as the main antagonist. The supporting cast includes Mamitha Baiju (Viji), Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Narain, among others.

Chartbuster Gap Hits Funky

Vishwak Sen and Anudeep KV’s Funky, the film, is missing a chartbuster song like “Chiiti,” which played a major role in creating strong buzz for Jathi Ratnalu. The film now needs very strong positive word of mouth to post big numbers at the box office.

The movie’s team released a couple of songs, but none of them went viral. A positive thing is that the trailer has received a positive response, but that alone will not help the film to see big openings at the box office.

With a shortcoming of a chartbuster, Funky needs to see unanimous positive WOM to see an increase in collections with each passing show. Starring Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, the film will hit theaters on 13th February.

God of War: It’s NTR’s Call, Not Allu Arjun’s

Trivikram’s dream project, God of War, was originally planned with Allu Arjun and was officially announced to begin immediately after Pushpa 2. Director Trivikram waited for more than a year for Allu Arjun’s dates. However, at the last minute, due to various reasons, Allu Arjun chose Atlee instead. That film is now on sets, and his next project is already signed with Lokesh Kanagaraj.

After Allu Arjun moved on with Atlee, God of War went to NTR, who officially signed the project, and the film was announced. Recently, the project returned to the headlines after reports suggested that Allu Arjun showed interest in starting the film after his project with Lokesh Kanagaraj, likely around summer 2027. Even with NTR, the timeline remains the same, as he is currently busy with Prashanth Neel’s film and Devara 2.

There were also reports claiming that the film might go back to Allu Arjun. But sources close to the project clarify that God of War is completely NTR’s film. Allu Arjun is not involved in the final decision. Only if NTR opts out due to other commitments will the project move to Allu Arjun or any other hero.

So, practically, the film will move ahead with NTR unless some miraculous turn happens in the future. Trivikram is currently busy with Venkatesh’s Adarsha Kutumbam, which is being planned for an October release. After this, Trivikram will completely focus on God of War, with the shoot expected to begin in the summer of 2027.
