Nagarjuna-Dhanush Multi-Starrer For Sankranthi 2025?

Sankranthi has been quite an auspicious occasion for Nagarjuna in terms of success. Soggade Chinni Nayana, the biggest blockbuster in Nag’s career, started this trend back in January 2016. His latest Sankranthi release, Naa Sami Ranga (2024), continued his winning streak. The action drama film opened to positive reviews upon release and emerged as a commercial success, providing a breath of fresh air to Nagarjuna, who faced continuous setbacks with his previous ventures.

To celebrate the film’s successful theatrical run, a success meeting was held today in Hyderabad. Sharing his joy with the entire team at the event, the veteran actor promised to meet again for the next Sankranthi as well. After starting the speech by thanking his fans and media, he went on to share the amount of hard work and dedication it took to finish the project in just three months. He ended his speech by saying, “See you next, Sankranthi.”. This left the fans wondering if Nag’s multi-starrer with Dhanush, the only officially announced project in his kitty, is aiming for a release in January 2025.

An official announcement has yet to be made by the makers to confirm or condemn it. The film, tentatively titled #DNS, is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kammula with music composed by ‘Rock Star’ Devi Sri Prasad. Bankrolled by Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao under Asian Group in association with Amigos Creations Pvt. Ltd., the film is being made on a massive budget. Owing to the recent successes of the director’s romantic dramas, Fidaa (2017) and Love Story (2021), and the actors’ latest releases, Capatain Miller (2024) and Naa Sami Ranga (2024), this pan-Indian venture is carrying great buzz in trade circles.

This will be the second time Dhanush will be seen in a straight Telugu flick after successfully debuting with Venky Atluri’s action drama film, Sir/Vaathi (2023). Rashmika Mandanna has been roped in to play the female lead in the film, in which Niketh Bommi will handle the camera and Ramakrishna Sabbani and Monika Nigotre will look after the production design.

Prashanth Neel Meets NTR: A Crucial Meeting

Prashanth Neel Meets NTR, and reportedly it was a crucial meeting to discuss the film’s scheduling. It is widely known that KGF Series Director Prashanth Neel had committed to do a film with NTR. The film was supposed to start in mid-2024 but it has been pushed back because of multiple reasons. Prashanth Neel Meets NTR, and reportedly it was a crucial meeting to discuss the film’s scheduling.

Actually, as per the plan, Prashanth Neel was set to immediately start NTR film’s pre-production work and the movie’s shoot had to start from this summer. Everything was officially announced. But after Salaar release, the producers and Prabhas are very keen to start Salaar’s sequel immediately, which has put Prashanth Neel in a difficult position.

This was the reason for no announcement of Prashant Neel’s next film. Meanwhile, NTR is currently working on Devara and he also needs to join War 2 sets from this March. After this Devara sequel is also in the pipeline but for the pre-production of the film will take time so NTR thought he can start Prashant Neel’s film in this gap. So now we must wait and see to know what will be the final order of Prashanth Neel and NTR’s films.

Lately, Prashanth Neel met NTR at his residence on Sunday to discuss all these things, and it was a crucial meeting and some official updates are expected to be out very soon after all these discussions.

Prashanth Neel’s recent words about his film with NTR

“It’s going to be a different film with different emotions. I would rather not get into the genre, but I know, people will assume it to be an action film. I want to call it a very new story for me, which I hope to tell my audience. It has got its own emotion and I hope people relate to it” told Prashanth Neel. Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts will jointly produce this prestigious film.

Fighter Faces Flat Sunday at Box Office, Resulting in Disappointment

After an average opening day, Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter picked up well on day 2 and held steady on day 3. With Sunday coming in as day 4, the film was expected to do good numbers in the range of Day 2 where it collected Rs 40Cr+ nett in India thanks to positive word of mouth.

However, the day 4 collections were not as strong as expected and saw just a minimal jump around [10%] from day 3. In the overseas market, the film saw a drop on Sunday which was unexpected and a bad sign for sure.

A few months ago, everyone expected Fighter to do great numbers and even have a big opening weekend like Pathaan which was released on the same date last year. If not Pathaan, some expected Fighter to do numbers on par with War as both are Hrithik- Siddharth Anand combo action film. Unfortunately, Fighter failed to create buzz and yet opened with unanimous positive reviews and word of mouth. This day 1 positivity is not reflecting well in numbers.

We now need to see how the Fighter manages to perform from tomorrow. If it fails to collect more than Rs 300 crore net with this kind of word of mouth, then we can certainly conclude that this action thriller has underperformed.

Guntur Kaaram Pulls Decent Audiences on Third Weekend

Guntur Kaaram pulls decent audiences on the third weekend. Superstar Mahesh Babu once again shows his stardom with this family action entertainer. The fans are happy with his display of Super Stardom though they are a bit disappointed with the content of the film. Guntur Kaaram pulls decent audiences on third weekend.

At a time when even many movies which have positive talk fail to put some numbers on third weekend, surprisingly Guntur Kaaram pulls some decent audiences. The National Holiday of Republic day came good for the film, which was followed by a decent Saturday and Sunday.

Definitely the shares are not big but collecting the rents itself is happy news for buyers on 3rd weekend for the kind of below par WOM and reviews the film has received. Especially in Andhra Pradesh buyers are happy as they already got breakeven and the movie is running for 3 weeks which is excellent.

In Nizam also the movie has some decent occupancies for this weekend which proves the ticket hike has played a major impact for the film in the 1st week. 

Mahesh Babu’s Superstardom at display with Guntur Kaaram

Mahesh Babu’s Brand in families undoubtedly has worked big for Guntur Kaaram. The team made a mistake by not promoting the film as a family entertainer, and they removed the most important song of mother sentiment which was released recently and receiving heartwarming response. 

If the film had been promoted as a family entertainer, absolutely it could have been bigger success by achieving breakeven for all buyers and becoming a Hit status. But now the film is ending up as an above-average status.
