‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s Ghilli: All Time Record In Re-Releases

The re-release trend has become quite popular in the Telugu states, starting with ‘Super Star’ Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri (2006). The trend continued to yield some highly profitable ventures and, of course, some failures. Now, our neighbouring film fraternity, Tamil cinema, has taken over this trend.

Ghilli (2004), an official remake of Mahesh Babu’s Okkadu (2003), was a blockbuster in Tamil and, over the years, gained a cult following among fans and audiences in general. ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s fans have decided to celebrate this classic once again on the big screens with a grand re-release.

The film had extraordinary advance bookings and expectedly registered excellent opening figures; Ghilli’s first-day gross is estimated to be around INR 8 crore, which is a record for any re-release in the country. Vijay has once again underlined his undeniable superstardom.

Most recently, Spiro Razatos has worked in Atlee’s Jawan (2023), which received huge applause from audiences. And now, the NTR-Hrithik Roshan multistarrer has roped in the same Hollywood stuntman.

Spiro Razatos, who worked for Captain America: Civil War, is signed to choreograph action sequences in War-2, a direct sequel to War (2019). The film is reportedly high on action like its predecessor. Kiara Advani is the film’s female lead.

Vijay Antony’s Appeal: Support Romeo, Ignore Critics

Vijay Antony is a notable actor in Tamil cinema; in Telugu, he is best known for his role in the ‘Sleeper Hit’ Bichagadu (2016). The actor’s most recent theatrical outing, Romeo (titled ‘Love Guru’ in Telugu), received mixed responses from audiences and has been performing poorly at the box office.

However, the actor believes it to be a good film, and it is the critics who are spreading negativity about it with their poor reviews. In the same context, Antony releases an official statement via Twitter requesting the audiences to ignore the reviews and go watch the film with an open mind.

This move, however, received mixed reactions from Netiens; while some tweeted in support, others felt the film’s performance was due to bad promotions and subpar content. Written and directed by Vinayak Vaithianathan, Romeo stars Mirnalini Ravi as the female lead. The film was bankrolled by the actor’s own Vijay Antony Film Corporation.

Harish Shankar Fires On Chota K. Naidu

Harish Shankar is a notable filmmaker in Telugu cinema, delivering multiple commercially successful films. Chota K. Naidu, on the other hand, is an acclaimed cinematographer who has worked on a string of high-profile films in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. This director-cameraman duo has worked together for Ramayya Vasthavayya (2013).

Bankrolled by ace producer ‘Dil’ Raju, the film was a colossal disaster at the box office. This is now relevant because the film’s cinematographer, Naidu, has made some controversial remarks about the director regarding his working style and behaviour on set. The interview soon went viral on the internet.

Clearing the air, Harish Shankar has finally responded to these comments via Twitter. While he began by showing respect towards a senior fellow technician, he went on to slam him for the remarks he made. Labelling them ‘deliberate’ and ‘unnecessary’, he requested Naidu not prolong this issue anymore.

‘Dil’ Raju’s Latest Plan To Recover ‘Family Star’ Losses

Vijay Devarakonda’s action drama Family Star (2024) was a commercial failure, to say the least. Obviously, ‘Dil’ Raju, the film’s producer, incurred heavy losses because of it. According to the latest reports, the ace producer has come up with a unique strategy to recover his investment to some extent.

Usually, the films that flop at the box office have an early digital premiere on OTT platforms; Family Star is heading towards the same thing but with a twist, which is to be available in Tamil and Telugu on a rental basis. This way, the losses can be compensated to a certain extent. It must be seen how this plan turns out.

Directed by Parasuram Petla, it stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead; the film’s music is composed by Gopi Sundar. It marks Vijay‘s collaboration with the director after the blockbuster Geetha Govindam (2018).
