0

The recent rumours of Bollywood Actor Aamir Khan collaborating with Tamil Director Lokesh Kanagaraj surprised all. Fans and Audience were ecstatic to see the duo coming together for a Pan India biggie. There was no confirmation yet, which made it a rumour. But Aamir Khan has himself confirmed this project today, and this news shook the social media.

The film is said to be a Super Hero subject which was originally planned with Suriya. The Actor has opted out of the project and Aamir Khan will replace him officially. It is also learnt that the film will go on floors immediately after Lokesh Kanagaraj finishes Kaithi 2 starring Karthi. So, it will mostly begin in August or September next year.

It is also speculated that Tollywood Production House, Mythri Movie Makers will be producing this biggie. So, if this combo comes together, it will be another jackpot for Mythri Movie Makers, who scored a maiden blockbuster recently with their Good Bad Ugly starring Ajith.

Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently the leading Director of Kollywood, and Aamir Khan has always been one of the Top Actors of the country. And now with the superhero genre, the film has all the chances of reaching every corner of the Indian markets. Trade already believes that this film will be a 1000 crore grosser.

0

Kuberaa starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna is gearing up for release on June 20th worldwide. The film was made on a staggering budget of around 120 crores, which is a career highest for both Dhanush and Nagarjuna. The film is carrying a very good craze and buzz in the trade circles. The Producers, Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, as a result of this, are in a very comfortable position with good business deals.

Amazon Prime Video bought the digital rights of the film for 47 crores. In Andhra Pradesh, the film was sold for around 22 crores and Tamil Nadu rights were in the range of 19 crores. With Rest of India and Nizam deals, the business crosses 100 crores. The satellite and Audio rights are an addition, putting the Producers in a safe zone.

The Producers also hold Nizam rights with them under their banner, Asian Cinemas, which releases Kuberaa on its own. So, if Kuberaa works well with the positive word of mouth and reviews, it will surely be a jackpot.

Thug Life’s failure has no impact on Coolie

0

Thug Life starring Kamal Haasan released recently and became a box office bomb. The film had great expectations before its release, but it faltered significantly. Usually, such underperformance of biggies will surely impact the hype surrounding other biggies and their business as well. Now, with this theory, all eyes are on Coolie starring Rajinikanth.

Coolie is also having great amount of hype and expectations. Now, with the dangerous result of Thug Life which also showed the same hype, Coolie’s business may have a slight impact in Tamil Nadu. But in Telugu States, Distributors are lining up to acquire the rights. It is also likely to close around 45 crores which is a sensational price.

The deal will also be closed very soon. For breakeven, Coolie may have to collect more than 80 crores gross in Telugu States which could be a cake walk. There is an equal buzz for Coolie in Telugu States and the trade analysts expect it to collect a 100 crore gross easily in Telugu States.

Two years ago, a big pan-Indian mythological film was announced in the Allu Arjun-Trivikram combination. The fans and even normal audiences are eager to know more details about the film, but the sad news is that this big project is shelved, as Allu Arjun upsets Trivikram.

Allu Arjun locked the film with Atlee, which is a mega-budget project by international standards. Even then, there was a discussion that both films would progress in parallel, and it was even officially announced.

The latest sad news is that this big project is shelved, as Allu Arjun upsets Trivikram. Reportedly, the actor is said to have informed Trivikram that he will make a decision on the film after Atlee’s film releases.

Trivikram to do films with Venkatesh, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram

This is said to have hurt Trivikram, and he is moving on to other stars. His next film is locked with Venkatesh, and a film with Ram Charan is also confirmed.

Now, the latest reports suggest that Trivi is in discussions for a film with NTR as well. In between, if there is any slot, a film with Ram is also in the pipeline.

So the big project of AA—Trivi is shelved for now, and Trivikram now wants to do continuous films without any break.

0

After multiple postponements, Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa finally locked 27th June as the release date, and the movie team is aggressively promoting the film. Apart from the genre, the Prabhas factor is driving the Kannappa trade.

In recent days, even big movies are facing issues in locking business deals. Even if the producers ask for an advance basis, the distributors do not agree. But for Kannappa, the distributors are locked.

Mythri Movies will distribute the film in big territories like Nizam, Ceeded, and UA, while the other areas will also be handled by top distributors. The film is releasing on an advance basis, which means all the risk is on Manchu Vishnu.

Prabhas drives Kannappa’s Business

The main reason for distributors giving advances to the film is undoubtedly one reason. Prabhas’s factor is driving Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa trade.

The distributors believe that Prabhas’s screen presence will definitely bring audiences to theaters. With this confidence, the distributors are also very interested, and they are getting good offers from exhibitors too. 

Meanwhile, the film’s trailer is likely to be released soon, and it plays a crucial role in generating the required buzz among audiences.

The much-awaited Akhanda 2 teaser was released yesterday and received a great response. The Balakrishna-Boyapati combination again took the audience to the Akhanda trance with the teaser. However, everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in the Akhanda 2 teaser.

Thaman’s BGM played a crucial role in the success of the first part of Akhanda. Audiences unanimously responded positively, as everyone felt it elevated the film to a new level.

Thaman Background Music Overload in Akhanda 2 teaser

So, naturally, there were very high expectations for Music for Akhanda’s sequel. But the BGM in the teaser receives a mixed response, as everyone feels Thaman’s music is overloaded in Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 teaser.

Netizens felt that Thaman’s background score goes overboard and is very loud, and as a result the lyrics/dialogues are not audible. Of course, there is a section of people who feel that this film needs such BGM, and they say it will work massively in theaters.

Fans have high hopes for Akhanda 2 BGM

We need to wait and see how the background score of Thaman works in the movie. But there is one thing: Thaman has never disappointed BGM-wise for Balakrishna’s films. He always plays a big role in Balakrishna’s recent success streak.

So, the same is expected from Akhanda 2 as well, and Thaman’s music plays a very big role in this movie’s result too.
