Manchu Manoj irks in a political controversy

0

Actor Manchu Manoj has been irked by a political controversy. He made some controversial political comments. He was speaking at Telugu Legendary Actor, Mohan Babu’s Birthday event in Tirupati at Mohan Babu Educational Institution. Malayalam Actor Mohanlal has attended the event as the chief guest.

Manoj who started his speech began commenting about politics. He appealed to people to elect leaders who do justice to everyone. People feel that he indirectly took a dig at CM Jagan who is allegedly having some family issues. He also felt that leaders who are unable to take care of their family members would certainly not look into people’s problems. He requested the people to be wise while electing the leaders. No one knows the exact reason behind his comments.

However, this didn’t go well with people who started trolling him for his unnecessary political statements. Many even questioned his fight with his brother Manchu Vishnu months ago. Manoj recently married the daughter of the late Political leader Shoba Nagi Reddy. Manoj’s wife and her sister are active members of the Telugu Desam Party. People feel that Manoj made these comments only to politically benefit his wife’s sister and her party, TDP. The timing of these statements is also interesting. The election code was also announced recently and the elections would take place in two months. Looks like he might even join the TDP soon. However, Mohan Babu didn’t say anything about the incident yet.

0

Recently released Malayalam Blockbuster Premalu‘s OTT release date has been announced. The film will stream on OTT giant, Disney+Hotstar on March 29th, 2024. The film drew everyone’s attention with its refreshing youth aura. It became a sleeper hit thereby a blockbuster by grossing more than 100 crores worldwide.

What is more interesting is the film doing exceptionally well even in the Telugu Language. It grossed more than 10 crores worldwide in the Telugu version alone and is also on its way to crossing the 20 crores mark by this weekend. This will be great news for all the parties involved here. Director Rajamouli’s son Karthikeya distributed the film in Telugu after its phenomenal success in the Malayalam language. He even announced that he would be venturing into the production department with the success of Premalu here in the Telugu states.

Premalu initially suffered with mouth talk but picked up the momentum afterward. It majorly suffered the competition with direct Telugu movie releases, Bhima and Gaami. But both didn’t quite perform well and this became a great advantage for Premalu which used it very well. So, Premalu still has 8 more days to perform in the theatres before its OTT release.

Legendary Composer Ilayaraaja to Score His Biopic’s Music

There had been a rumor that Ilayaraaja’s biopic was in discussions and may be announced soon, and today it was officially announced, and it was revealed that legendary composer Ilayaraaja will score his biopic’s music.

Dhanush is said to play the role of Ilayaraaj, and this movie is directed by Arun Matheswaran. Nirav Shah is the director of photography. Background music is the most important thing in a movie.

If its for a biopic background, music plays a crucial role in the whole movie as the music tells the pain of the main lead and explains every single thing about how he is feeling in his journey.

Like that, legendary music director Ilayaraja has given many chart busters, and most of his BGMs are still heard on social media now. When the rumor came out about Ilayaraaja’s biopic, most of his fans awaited only one update about the movie.

Who will be the music director and who will compose background music? Many of them discussed that the latest star, Anirudh Ravichander, may compose the music as he is the current sensation all over India. 

But now, here comes the most important point: legendary music director Ilayaraaja himself is composing the music for his biopic. As the story and biopic are about him, only he can give the music as per the life situations and struggles he faces in life.

As he knows how the scenes impact his life, he could give the best music of his entire career when it came to his own biopic. This could be the reason for the decision made by the Ilayaraaja Movie Team and Director Arun Matheswaran. 

“This is not the Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja biopic; this is the Bharat Ratna Ilaiyaraaja biopic. It’s not our wish but demand.” – Kamalhaasan at the Ilaiyaraaja Biopic event

“I wanted to act in the biopics of only two people: Ilaiyaraaja sir and Superstar Rajinikanth sir. One of my manifests is happening now. I had many sleepless nights thinking about how to act as Raja sir,” said Dhanush at the Ilayaraja Biopic event.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh dialogues spark online trolling

0

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar’s film Ustaad Bhagat Singh‘s teaser released yesterday to much attention. The teaser was full of political dialogues and scenes where Pawan Kalyan highlights the greatness of a tea glass he uses in the film. He elevates the status of tea glass saying that it is not just a tea glass but a hidden army. However, these dialogues have sparked great online trolling.

People openly started criticizing both Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar for endorsing tea glass, the party symbol of Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena in the film. People on Twitter trolled both heavily for making it a politically biased film filling the dialogues as counters to the intended political parties. Also, a guy in the teaser drops the same tea glass on the floor and Pawan Kalyan lifts one of the broken pieces and says the broken one becomes sharper.

People trolled these dialogues saying that they looked too odd and not up to the mark. They even felt bad for making the film politically biased. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is an official remake of Theri starring Vijay and Samantha. This film has no such political dialogues. But one can assume that it was both Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar who made it that way to suit Pawan Kalyan’s political ambitions. Let’s wait and see how many such dialogues the film contains in the theatrical trailer. That might spark even more trolls for sure.

Game Changer OTT rights sold for a massive price

0

Game Changer‘s shoot starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani directed by Maverick filmmaker Shankar is happening at a brisk pace. The team shot some important portions recently at Vizag’s RK Beach. Ram Charan plays an officer role in the film. Both he and Kiara Advani appeared at the shooting spot. Fans and audiences are waiting eagerly for the film’s release. Now the news is Game Changer OTT rights have been sold for a massive price.

Leading OTT giant, Amazon Prime is said to have grabbed all the South Indian language rights of the film for a whopping 105 crores. However, the Hindi digital rights of the film will be with another OTT platform, Zee5. Ram Charan’s skyrocketed craze after Pan India blockbuster RRR and Shankar’s usual following among Indian Audiences with his previous films Robot, I, and 2.0 have contributed to such a massive price deal of the OTT rights.

Game Changer’s shoot is taking place for a long time. The film should have had its teasers and songs released by now. But Shankar is busy with his other film, Bharateeyudu 2 (Indian 2) which was to release long back. He had to allot time to finish both films. This delayed Game Changers’s shoot further. However, the team is trying very hard to release the film this year by all means. Let’s hope for the same.

Manjummel Boys all Set to Become Highest Grosser of the Year in Tamil Nadu

0

The Malayalam film “Manjummel Boys” continues its box office dominance! After becoming the highest-grossing Mollywood film ever with over 200 crores worldwide, it’s now setting its sights on a new record in Tamil Nadu.

“Manjummel Boys” has captured the hearts of audiences beyond Kerala, performing exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu despite not having a dubbed Tamil version. The film’s connection to the iconic Kamal Haasan movie “Guna” (filmed partly in Kodaikanal) likely resonated with Tamil viewers. Additionally, the story unfolds in Kodaikanal, with key dialogues even being spoken in Tamil, further drawing in the Tamil audience.

This phenomenal success has “Manjummel Boys” on track to becoming the highest-grossing film of the year in Tamil Nadu. The film has already surpassed the 50 crore mark with its original Malayalam version and currently sits at around 54 crores in just 26 days. This puts it on course to dethrone “Ayalaan” starring Sivakarthikeyan, which collected around 57 crores in January.

Directed by Chidambaram, “Manjummel Boys” is a survival drama based on a true story. It follows a group of friends from Ernakulam who embark on a trek through the Guna caves, only to face a life-threatening situation. The film features Sreenath Bhasi, Soubin Shahir, Ganapathi, Balu Varghese, and Jean-Paul Lal in key roles.

With its gripping story and strong performances, “Manjummel Boys” has proven to be a crowd-pleaser across language barriers. The film’s potential to become the top-grosser in Tamil Nadu is a testament to its universal appeal.
