Lokesh Tries to Defend Coolie, But

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is a talented and star director of South Indian Cinema. However, when it comes to reacting to the criticism of his films, the director throws some unnecessary comments. Lokesh tries to defend his latest film, Coolie, but his remarks have received negative responses. 

Lokesh Kanagaraj, in a recent interview, stated that the audiences went to watch Coolie with expectations of it being a part of LCU or containing some sci-fi elements, and that is why they were disappointed after watching the movie.

Lokesh Defends Coolie: Criticizes Audiences

The Vikram director said that he or his team did not mention that it is a part of LCU, nor did they say that it is a sci-fi movie. So, he said that he cannot make the film according to the expectations of audiences. 

Surely, Lokesh’s statement appears to defend Coolie, but it seems like again, he is trying to cover the film’s weak points by not accepting his mistakes. Even during the mixed response to the movie Leo, Lokesh Kanagaraj shared similar kinds of statements.

But Lokesh Kanagaraj needs to understand that people did not dislike the film because it was not an LCU film or a scientific one, but they did not like it because they found it flat, dragged, and unengaging, with weak characterizations and especially unnecessary star cameos.

Krish Opens Up on Leaving Hari Hara Veera Mallu

It is widely known that Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu was initially directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, but the filmmaker left the film midway, and it was finished by Jyothi Krishna. The director, Krish, opens up about why he left Hari Hara Veera Mallu in his latest interview.

Krish mentioned that because of his busy schedule, financial issues, and other commitments, he could only contribute partially to Hari Hara Veera Mallu. He also stated that it was important for Pawan Kalyan to fulfill his political desires/aspirations.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Issues Were From My Side – Says Krish

He clearly stated that the issues were from his side and not the other way around. The filmmaker heaped praise on AM Ratnam and said that he is a passionate producer. 

The Gamyam director mentioned that forty minutes of the film’s footage, which he shot, was missing from the movie and it was reserved for the second part. Krish shot the scenes that happen after the hero heads to Delhi, and all the scenes were shot in a Darbar set. 

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: A Forty Minute Footage Directed By Krish Left For The Second Part Of The Film

The forty minute footage features important scenes, such as Veera Mallu taking a seat on the Peacock throne (Mayoora Simhasanam) after snatching the Kohinoor diamond and throwing down a challenge to Aurangzeb.

The stunts were also great, according to the filmmaker. Krish made it clear to everyone that there were no issues for him with Pawan Kalyan and AM Ratnam, but he had his own reasons to leave Hari Hara Veera Mallu. 

No Hopes On Hari Hara Veera Mallu Sequel

PSPK fans and netizens say that if those 40 minutes had been included in the film, then HHVM Part 1 would have been a much better film, and they are also sad as they know that they will not be able to see those scenes now.

Because, after such a disastrous result at the box office, even fans are also not confident that a sequel to Hari Hara Veera Mallu will be made.

OG Hype Hits New Highs

With its first glimpse, Pawan Kalyan’s OG created a huge craze among audiences and fans. Thereafter the posters and the audio took the buzz to the next level. With the special glimpse on Pawan’s birthday today, the hype around OG hits new highs. 

Earlier today, the team released a new poster, and just a while ago, a new video glimpse has been released, which introduced the film’s villain character, played by Emran Hashmi, and this video is also very striking.

If a villain’s character is strong, then only the face-off between him and the hero will work big, which the teaser of “The Call Him OG” promises. The fans expect an intense drama between Omi Bhau and OG, the big forces.

Every promotional content piece from OG, especially the posters and visuals, has struck gold. It is a terrific work by Sujeeth, as he was successful in showcasing his idol at his best in every single frame. 

With every promotional update, OG’s hype is reaching new highs, and now, this is Pawan Kalyan’s event film and not just a regular commercial one.

Drishyam 3 Ready to Roll

Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph’s most awaited Drishyam 3 is experiencing a massive craze. The film is popular among most of the Indian audiences, and they await its progress. The latest news is that the film is ready to move on to the floors.

The pre-production works are said to be completed. Director Jeethu Joseph always goes well prepared before going on sets. The shooting will also be very minimal for his films, and the same will happen with the third part of the Drishyam series.

Drishyam 3 Shoot to start this September

The Malayalam version’s shooting will reportedly start in the second/third week of September, and plans are to wrap it by mid-November and to immediately start the Telugu version shoot.

Jeethu Joseph will direct the Telugu version as well, while the Hindi version’s team will be different, with the story by the original filmmaker.

The fans are happy with the news that Mohanlal – Jeethu Joseph’s Drishyam 3 is all set to start, and it is said that all languages/versions of the thriller film will be released at a similar period next year.

Madharaasi Carrying Weak Advances

Madharaasi Carrying Weak Advances

Madharaasi is the latest Tamil film releasing this week. Sivakarthikeyan is in top form with Amaran’s success, and Murugadoss is the director. However, the film is carrying weak advances. 

Normally with such a good actor-director combination, the film is expected to have a big craze, but somehow the action thriller failed to create the required anticipation among audiences. 

The trailer gave some momentum for the film, but the early ticket bookings are not looking big enough. Madharaasi advance bookings have been opened in all areas, but the bookings are nowhere near to Amaran’s start.

Definitely Murugadoss’s recent films’ results have had a big impact on this film, and it needs to open with unanimous positive WOM to bring a big number of audiences to the theaters.

The film was censored with a U/A certificate, and its runtime is 167 minutes. Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead in the film, while Anirudh scores the music.

OG First Ticket Goes for 5 Lakhs

The hype and hoopla around Pawan Kalyan’s OG is going to the next level with it nearing the release date. The latest exciting news is that the first ticket of OG goes for 5 lakhs in auction. 

The OG first ticket of Nizam was auctioned on the X (Twitter) space platform yesterday, and it was sold for the massive amount of 5 lakhs.

OG Massive Craze On Display: Nizam First Ticket Goes for 5 Lakhs

One great thing about this auction and the ticket’s big price tag is that it all gets donated to the Janasena party. This auction has a great purpose since the cash will support the party fund and might help with public services down the line.

The fans showed their love for Pawan Kalyan as the first ticket of the OG Nizam area was sold out for a whopping 5 lakh price in a bid to Team Kalyan Sena North America.

The “They Call Him OG” craze is hitting all the boundaries. The USA pre-sales are set to cross 1 million in the next 2 days for premieres. The new poster, which has been released today, is shaking the internet.

Vetrimaaran Drops Subtle Hint: Suriya Rejects Vaadivaasal

The Tamil audiences were extremely excited for VaadiVaasal, which marks the first ever combination of Suriya and Vetrimaaran. However, the film got shelved after a few delays, and lately, the director hints at why Surya has rejected the film.

As per plan, the film was to start by now, but due to some differences between the actor and director, the project was dropped. Suriya has committed to other films, and Vetri starts a new film with Simbu. 

Vetrimaaran reveals the reason for Suriya Rejecting VaadiVaasal

There was a buzz that the reason for Suriya’s exit from Vaadivaasal is that Vetrimaaran did not provide the full script. The actor decided to sign the project only after listening to the full script.

Now, in a recent interview, Vetrimaaran hints it was the reason for Suriya dropping out of VaadiVaasal. This has been the complaint against Vetri in the industry also, that he maintains a success ratio, but the issue is he will not plan the things properly before going to the shoot.

The budget of his films is double the planned one, and the same is the case with the shooting dates as well, because his movies will be on sets for longer days.

Vetrimaaran talks about his working style

Vetrimaaran shared in a recent interview that he does not give the full script to the heroes before shooting. He explained, “I only narrate the major sequences in detail because even I don’t have the complete script at that stage. Before going to the sets, I usually have a draft of around 100–150 pages, but by the end of the film, it grows to 400–500 pages. A lot of changes happen during the shooting process. My first draft is never the final one for the film. Not all heroes will agree to this process.

In the interviews, Vetri Maaran shares his actions very funnily, but changing most of the scenes and delaying the film shoots way longer than expected is not at all good from a producer’s perspective.
