0

Director Boyapati Sreenu and Allu Arjun collaborated for the film, Sarrainodu which was a big hit in the actor’s career. The film was produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts Banner. The film managed to collect 127 crores gross worldwide. Audience became excited when the director and Producer came together to collaborate again for a film.

A poster was also released with both the director and producer announcing that they will be officially collaborating. Everyone thought this film would be with either Allu Arjun, Balakrishna, or Suriya. Suriya has many films in the pipeline. Allu Arjun too is busy with Pushpa and also planning a film with Atlee. So audience felt that the film would be with Balakrishna. But Actor Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu are working under the 14 Reels banner for a film. So it is official that Boyapati Sreenu chose 14 Plus banner for a film with Balakrishna as the lead.

This happened for the second time for Allu Aravind. The first time was with Parasuram who promised to do a film for him but went to Dil Raju compound for Family Star starring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur. However, Allu Aravind or his team is yet to respond about the issue.

Pan India biggies to lock in multiple streaming partners

0

Pan-Indian biggies have changed their strategy. They are now looking to lock in multiple OTT streaming platforms as partners. The OTT platforms are not interested in offering huge amounts. They are not considering it even if it’s a Pan-India projected film. Teams of Many films are expecting huge amounts like more than 200 crores from the OTT platforms.

Managements of OTT Platforms are not in support of collaborating with every film that is projected as a Pan India film. So the makers of the films have come up with the idea of locking multiple streaming partners for different languages. We have seen this trend recently with Salaar and Hanuman. This might bring them different amounts for different languages. This trend is expected to continue for all upcoming biggies and even for medium-budgeted films.

The OTT platform has become a way of covering the losses of a film. Films that have disappointed at the box office are opting for an early OTT streaming. This is also making the audience not come to the theatres opting to watch the film on OTT. Exhibitors are facing losses for the same reason. There needs to be a time gap between release in theatres and streaming on the OTT platforms.

Recently released Tollywood Film, Hanuman starring Teja Sajja had great success throughout the country. The film managed to attract Hindi Audiences along with Telugu Audiences. This made the film gross more than 300 crores gross worldwide. The makers hit the jackpot cashing the Sankranthi season. The film has started streaming on the OTT platform.

Hanuman’s Hindi version streamed on Jio Cinema whereas the Telugu Version was streamed on Zee5. Now the news is other language versions of the film will stream on Disney+Hotstar from 5th April. The Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions will stream on Hotstar from this date. Interestingly, these three versions didn’t perform well at the box office. These Industries had their own releases during the Sankranthi season. So this contributed to a lesser performance as well.

After the success of Hanuman, the team planned for a sequel registering the title, Jai Hanuman. However, director Prashant Varma may take time to start filming the sequel. He is enjoying the success of Hanuman. The film did a phenomenal performance considering its budget. Fans and audiences expect the sequel to do much better. With the Pan India recognition the film got, it looks easy as well. Let’s wait and see.

Best known for his action comedy entertainers, Vaitla has had a string of box-office disasters, right from Aagadu (2014) to Amar Akbar Antony (2018).

Following this rough phase, he chose to take a brief hiatus from films for obvious reasons. Vaitla’s next theatrical outing will be an action entertainer starring ‘Macho Star’ Gopichand in the lead role. Currently in the production phase, the director is reportedly quite confident about the film’s result.

In a recent media interaction, following the re-release of Venky (2004), the director spilled the beans on the possible sequel to it. Vailta was certain that Venky-2 would be made with the same combination and that the script work had already begun. Made as a comedy entertainer, Venky emerged as a blockbuster at the box office and over the years gained a cult following, particularly for its hilarious train episode, which inspired countless memes.
