Will Kushi Save AM Ratnam?

0

Producer A.M. Ratnam faced huge losses with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, as the film faced multiple delays in the filming stage and ended as a big disaster at the box office. Now AM Ratnam has put his hopes on Vijay’s Kushi re-release. 

Once upon a time, Ratnam was one of the biggest producers in Indian cinema, but he has been in a dire situation for the past few years, and as said above, with the result of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, he faced big financial trouble.

AM Ratnam bets no Vijay’s Kushi Re-Release

Now to recover a bit from his financial woes, AM Ratnam is set to re-release Vijay’s Kushi. Everyone knows that the film’s Telugu version with Pawan Kalyan is a huge blockbuster, but the Tamil version, which came before, is also a sensational hit starring Vijay and Jyothika.

The film is all set to be re-released on 25th September, with Sakhti Film Factory releasing it. Vijay’s Ghilli re-release last year worked massively and collected more than 30 Cr gross, and if Kushi also gathers the same range of collections, then it will be a slight relief to AM Rathnam.

Achieving 3 million dollars in North America is still not easy even for stars if they come up with regular films. But young actor Teja Sajja is all set to achieve 3 million dollars in North America and join Prabhas and NTR. 

In this year no film has collected 3 million from Telugu in North America, and if we see tier-2 movies, only Hanuman collected that much. Not only 3 million, but the film also goes past 5 million.

Some may say that achieving such a huge number for one time is a fluke or something, but the trade expectations on Teja Sajja’s Mirai are huge, and they are confident that the film will easily do 3 million in North America.

Teja Sajja to join the list of Prabhas and NTR with Mirai

From top heroes, only Prabhas and NTR achieved back-to-back 3 million grossers in North America till now in Tollywood. If Mirai joins this club, then Teja Sajja will join this list. These stats show how big milestones the young actor is achieving.

Mirai sees $1.74 million in the opening weekend, and it is expected to join the 2 Million club by tomorrow and definitely has all the chances to achieve 3 million.

S. Thaman is the music director, while the crazy actress Sree Leela was roped in first as the leading actress, but later she was replaced by Bhagyashree Borse due to date issues.

Bellamkonda Sreenivas has scored a hit at the box office after a long time with his latest horror thriller, Kishkindhapuri. The combination of Anupama Parameswaran and Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas is one of the reasons for the film’s success.

Alludu Seenu was the debut film of Bellamkonda, and he also scored a good success with Jaya Janaki Nayaka. However, after that, he sees continuous setbacks with Sakshyam, Kavacham, and Sita.

Again after Rakshashudu, the actor sees several setbacks with Alludu Adurs, Chatrapati (Hindi), and the recent release Bhairava. Last weekend he came up with the film Kishkindhapuri.

Nowadays all the heroes from the Telugu industry aim for pan-Indian stardom. and the Hindi market is very essential for it. Till now very few stars have succeeded in their attempt. Teja Sajja joins the list as he becomes a Pan-India star with back-to-back hits.

The actor’s last film, Hanuman, was a big success in Hindi along with being a big blockbuster in Telugu. The sensational blockbuster gathered 50 Cr net collections, and Teja’s latest film, Mirai, also saw good opening weekend in Hindi belts.

The fantasy adventure film’s Hindi version has collected 10 Cr gross in India on the first weekend, which is definitely not an easy number, and it is expected to do more than 25 Cr gross in its full run and even more if it holds good. 

Achieving these numbers continuously has certainly put Teja Sajja as a promising Pan-Indian star, as his films are getting good numbers in Hindi as well as Telugu.

One good thing about Teja is he is promoting the film in a big way. For Mirai also, he promoted the film by giving interviews and attending the talk shows in Hindi, which have yielded positive results.

The Mirai actor’s Zombie Reddy 2 also has a high potential to do big numbers in Hindi because of the exciting concept and sequel factor.
