0

Every single content that has been released from Guntur Kaaram so far, carries major Mahesh Babu influence and it can be said that it has Superstar Mark printed all over. Mahesh was seen in an energetic avatar and full of mass and swag in the trailer and it definitely was a feast for fans and masses.

But hiding everything will have some impact, especially on those who were eagerly excited about the Trivikram-Mahesh combo after more than a decade.

The much-awaited pre-release event is happening today in Guntur. With just a few days to go for the release, the team must release some fresh content and carry out promotions through interviews and promos. Trivikram and co. have mentioned that the subject has a lot of emotional depth and this aspect of the movie must also reach the audience. Mahesh’s mass makeover, timing, energy, and screen presence are all great news for movie lovers but it’s about time, the Trivikram brand also comes out through promotional content.

Salaar Hindi box office numbers include Midnight Corporate Shows. It is widely known that the Pan Indian action drama of Prabhas and Prashanth Neel, Salaar, has been able to collect some big records at the box office despite falling short of expectations. While the film is nearing the 600Cr mark Gross worldwide, there is a big controversy in the collections of its Hindi version.

A few days back, it was reported that on National Plexes a considerable number of midnight shows were opened for Salaar on working days and the shows were not available for audiences, and they were just opened and shown as sold out.

So, everyone reported this process as corporate bookings to increase Salaar’s Hindi numbers, but the team denied it including. Director Prashant Neel who said that they did not do this and indirectly blamed the opposition film’s PR.

Corporate Bookings have been a mess for Salaar

But now it was clear from the Bollywood trade circles that all the numbers from those midnight shows are reported in the movie’s collections. So it directly means that the team of Salaar has intentionally done this. Salaar Hindi box office numbers include Midnight Corporate Shows.

Because no one will spend the money to raise the collections for the opposition film.
The Bollywood trade says that the corporate bookings are common in the Hindi industry, but normally the bookings will be 10 – 20% of a film’s final collections, but Salaar has gone beyond the limits of that.

The film’s Hindi version Net is currently in the range of 140Cr, which includes many corporate shows numbers. This means literally the Salaar’s team has cut the tickets from their own pockets. This is an unnecessary practice by the makers of Salaar.

Naa Saami Ranga’: A Victory Like ‘President Gari Pellam’ -MM Keeravani

Starring the versatile King Nagarjuna Akkineni, ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ is introduced under the direction of renowned choreographer Vijay Binny, garnering substantial attention with its compelling promotional content. The musical compositions by Oscar winner MM Keeravani are proving to be entertaining chart busters. Produced by Srinivasa Chitturi with a substantial budget on Srinivasa Silver Screen, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on January 14th, marking a Sankranti gift from Saami Ranga. Keeravani shared insights about the film’s features in a press conference.

Q: Is Naa Saami Ranga a surprise package at this time?
A: I have always been selective in my film choices, and Naa Saami Ranga is indeed a surprise package. The hype of a movie comes from the released songs, and I don’t believe Oscars will ensure success. The film needs to connect with people, and the director plays a crucial role.

Q: What interests you about working on Naa Saami Ranga?
A: Working with Nagarjuna has been an educational and habit-forming experience. Our combination has consistently yielded success. The film marks the debut of new director Binny, who brings a desire to prove himself. It’s intriguing to collaborate with such emerging talents.

Q: ‘President Gari Pellam’ with Nagarjuna, ‘Annammaya’ from ‘Allari Alludu,’ and ‘Sri Rama Dasu’ showcase diverse film genres. How did ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ provide a unique experience?
A: Much like the success of ‘President Gari Pellam,’ ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ is poised for similar triumph. Both are village-based films, offering diverse and entertaining elements. Anticipating ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ to emulate the success of ‘President Gari Pellam,’ the title is fitting for Nagarjuna. The film accentuates Telugu and cultural traditions, embodying the spirit of Sankranti. Additionally, the music brings a fresh and vibrant touch to the movie.

Q: Did you write a song for the film?
A: Yes, Chandra Bose Gare is the lyricist for this film. Comparing it to eating rice with a little green, I emphasize that I’m not a professional lyric writer. I only write when necessary, such as during rerecording. The idea arises from such contexts.

Q: What observations do you have about the new director, Vijay Binny?
A: He makes decisions quickly, allowing the film to be made swiftly without compromising quality. His ability to maintain quality while working efficiently is his main strength. Despite being a dance master, he has crafted three excellent melodies, showcasing his maturity as a director.

Q: How do you perceive the success of a song, especially its virality?
A: The virality of a song is beyond our control. In the past, we gauged a song’s popularity by its presence at weddings. Nowadays, views seem to determine success. Our focus is on honest work, and the song’s virality is unpredictable.

Q: Any recent films whose music you appreciate?
A: Animal stands out, especially the background music in Jailer. I even conveyed my admiration to the music director.

Q: Are there specific songs of yours that linger in your memory?
A: I have a repertoire of up to one fifty, one hundred songs.

Q: When will your new film collaboration with Rajamouli commence?
A: To know about it, you should inquire with Rajamouli directly. If I call, it’s off (laughs), indicating that the project details haven’t reached me yet.

Q: What can you share about the songs in Hari Hara Veera Mallu?
A: We’ve recorded three songs so far.

Q: How is the progress of Chiranjeevi’s film?
A: Shooting is underway, and music sittings have commenced.

The upcoming Sankranthi releases in Tollywood have once again involved Dil Raju’s name in the controversy. Dil Raju issues a warning to the media.

It is widely known that Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ Teja Sajja’s ‘Hanuman,’ Venkatesh’s ‘Saindhav,’ and Nagarjuna’s ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ will be released on this Sankranthi. However, since Hanuman is the only small hero film out of these four films, the controversy started regarding the allotment of theatres.

There were comments that Producer Dil Raju is not supporting small films. There was a strong rumor that Dil Raju would release the Tamil film Ayalaan in Telugu states to not give the theaters for Hanuman and to hurt them. Dil Raju was angry with the negative portrayal of his image, and he lashed out at the media. 

Dil Raju strongly reacts to the false news about him

According to Dil Raju, some websites misrepresent his comments and news writing. Dil Raju has been furious over this. “In the industry, stones are thrown at us by whom we think of as ours. Every Sankranthi, I am being criticized in some way or the other. Some websites have wrongly distorted Chiranjeevi’s words against me. I will take action at the websites if you write false news about me. The criticism in terms of business is being turned in their favor by a few websites. From today onwards, there is no question of suppressing such news.”

Apart from the four Telugu mentioned above, the Tamil movie ‘Ayalaan’ was also scheduled to be released this Sankranthi by Dil Raju. He clarified that he is not releasing the Tamil Film Ayalaan in the Telugu States.

Dil Raju talks about the theater allocation for Sankranthi releases

Reacting to the words that Hanuman is not getting theatres in Nizam, “There are enough theatres for ‘Hanuman’ and ‘Guntur Karam.’ But Nagarjuna and Venkatesh’s films are not getting sufficient theatres. I am not releasing Ayalaan in Telugu. I will always be available if you want clarification, but I’ll see you if you use my name for your website clicks.” Said Dil Raju.

Megastar Chiranjeevi recently spoke about this controversy at the pre-release event of Hanuman. “In the past, Dil Raju competed with small film against our big films. Then I questioned Dil Raju, and he said that his film is a good content film and the audience will see it despite competing with big films. Like he said, the film was a success along with our films. Dil Raju has a lot of experience in the film industry. He knows how many theatres to give to which film in which season. So don’t be afraid of not finding theatres. If not on the first day, you will see Hanuman the next day.”
