Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi, the sequel to the big hit Geethanjali released recently. But the film didn’t repeat the success of its prequel. Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi mostly retained the same cast but not the success. Now, the film is about to test its luck on the OTT platform.

Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi is arriving early on the OTT within three weeks of its release. The film will premiere on May 8th i.e., tomorrow on Aha Video. This has been confirmed through the official X account of the OTT platform. The tweet said, “Akka nv malli vachavaaa ..! Sare Aha lo Kaluddam.”

The sequel was released almost after a decade. There is no room for a sequel creation as well but the makers wanted to do it again. The promotional content of the film too didn’t excite the audience. However, Some films even after becoming flops in the theatres perform well on the OTT platforms. Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi may have the chance as there are no perfect films in the theatres now. The film stars Anjali and Srinivasa Reddy in the lead roles directed by Shiva Thurlapati. Kona Venkat who earlier worked on the prequel acted as one of the writers for the film as well.

Telugu Cinema Industry going against YS Jagan

0

Normally Telugu cinema industry heroes and technicians remain silent on elections as they want all parties’ support and do not want to fall into the bad books of any party. As an industry, government policies and regulations can impact their functioning as seen in the recent AP ticket pricing issue. Even in the recently concluded Telangana assembly elections, no hero or director spoke for or against any party.

But that’s not the case with the upcoming Andhra elections. Two of Tollywood’s biggest heroes Pawan Kalyan and Balakrishna are fighting against the ruling party YSRCP. The entire Mega family has stood up in support of Pawan Kalyan. Even several actors, producers, and directors are directly supporting Pawan Kalyan and his alliance with TDP.

After Sai Dharam Tej and Varun Tej, Pawan Kalyan has received a massive boost in the form of support from Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi released a video earlier today in support of his brother and his fight for justice and people’s welfare.

Nani has also expressed his support for the Janasena chief and has expressed solidarity as a member of film family. Nani stated that he is rooting for Pawan Kalyan and even the entire film fraternity feels the same.

This directly represents a majority of Telugu cinema industry members are going against YS Jagan. This is due to two reasons one is love for Pawan Kalyan and the other one is ticket price issues the industry faced. One by one many are coming and supporting Pawan Kalyan and hoping for the victory of TDP and Janasena alliance.

0

Mega Star Chiranjeevi has been away from active politics post his Praja Rajyam days. He has been quite busy with back-to-back films and it appears that politics are now a part of a forgotten past and he has moved on from his political ambitions. Post his return to films in 2017 wit Khaidi No.150, the Mega Star has not looked back.

Chiranjeevi, after his exit from politics has remained silent on political issues and only got involved when there was an issue regarding the film industry. He never got involved in any political party including Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena. But recently, he has started getting involved with Janasena and supported it by donating 5 Cr and requesting people to vote for a few NDA alliance candidates in Andhra Pradesh.

Now, the big buzz is that Chiranjeevi will also campaign for Pawan Kalyan in Pithapuram before election days. This will be a huge moment, bringing Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan on one platform. So far, Sai Dharam Tej and Varun Tej have campaigned for Janasena and the arrival of Mega Star may provide a solid boost to Janasena. We will soon find out if the two come together or now as elections are now less than a week away and campaigning about to end.

As officially announced by the company via Twitter, Premalu has been streamed for a record 125 million minutes on Aha. No other Malayalam film has enjoyed this level of success among Telugu audiences. A direct sequel titled ‘Premalu-2’ has been announced long ago.

Nayanthara Replaces Kareena Kapoor!

Yash will be next seen in an epic action drama film titled ‘Toxic’. Captioned ‘A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups’, it is written and directed by Geethu Mohandas. This project carries massive hype since it features Yash after the earth-shattering success of Prashanth Neel’s KGF series.

Needless to say, Kareerna Kapoor was approached to play Yash’s sister in the film. However, not many know that the director’s first choice for this role was Aishwarya Rai. While both of these actors rejected the role, citing different reasons, the role was finally signed by Tamil cinema’s ‘Lady Superstar’.

Yes, Nayanthara will play Yash’s elder sister on screen in Toxic. This action drama film is being bankrolled on a massive budget by ‘KVN Productions’ and ‘Monster Mind Creations’ jointly. Besides this, Yash is reportedly playing Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.

Indian-2 New Release Date Locked!

Titled Bharateeyudu-2 in Telugu, Indian-2 is one of the biggest films of the year. As the title suggests, it is a direct sequel to the 1996 vigilante action thriller film Indian. Directed by Shankar Shanmugam, it features Kamal Hassan reprising his role from the first installment as ‘Senapathi’.

For multiple reasons, this project has been through a production hell with multiple shooting halts and changes in schedule. Clearing all the obstacles, the film was slated for a worldwide release on June 13, 2024. However, the makers withdrew from the plan, citing unfinished work.

According to the latest information, Indian-2 is arriving on July 17, 2024, and an official announcement regarding the same will be out very soon. With music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the film also stars Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Kajal Agarwal, S. J. Suryah, and Siddharth.

S. S. Rajamouli’s RRR Re-Releasing: Is it Necessary?

RRR (2022) has been the most talked-about Indian film in recent times internationally. The fact that it trended for a record 25 weeks on Netflix speaks for itself. An epic action drama film, it stars Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, in lead roles while Ajay Devagn and Alia Bhatt played key supporting roles.

After umpteen postponements, the film finally hit the screens on March 24, 2022, to positive reviews and grossed over INR 1200 crore worldwide. While the figure sounds impressive, reality tells a different story. Barring a few territories, RRR has been a loss-making venture in most parts of the country.

This is surely understandable considering the number of times it was postponed which diluted the buzz among audiences. Despite this, what made this Rajamouli‘s fictional drama stand out was the international acclaim it received. Thanks to Netflix’s global reach, the film received praise from some of the biggest figures in Hollywood, including the legends James Cameron and Steven Speilberg.

Having said that, everything remains done and dusted regarding RRR. People across the globe have watched it multiple times already. Considering this, whats the point of re-releasing it? The core idea of a re-release is to enjoy a decades-old classic on big screens again and savour the nostalgia associated with it.

But what’s the point of re-releasing a two-year-old movie? Only Jesus knows what led the makers of the film to take such a decision. It must be seen how audiences react to this immature move. RRR is re-releasing on May 10, 2024, in Telugu and Hindi.

Nagarjuna’s character’s first look has also been released recently with a glimpse video. Dhanush is known for portraying characters very intensely in his films. So he’s repeating it for Kubera it seems.

Dhanush’s recent film, Captain Miller became a hit released in the Sankranthi Season. The film however didn’t yield the result Dhanush wanted. The film was picturized as a Pan India biggie but ended up being okay at the box office. The other release, Ayalaan too scored a hit in the season. So Dhanush wants to prove himself badly with this film. This will be his third bi-lingual after the VIP 2 and Sir.
