Pushpa2- Makers expect a 200Cr business from Telugu states but buyers are not ready to take risks

0

Pushpa 2 is the most anticipated sequel currently in production and is slated for release on Independence Day weekend. The makers are quoting record prices everywhere for this movie’s theatrical businesses. For Telugu states makers are expecting a Rs 200Cr business. So far, only RRR has managed to do a Rs 200Cr business in Telugu states.

Before its release, Salaar makers had also started with 200Cr quotations but ended up with 160Cr. Even in that 160Cr, not all the amount was NRA and at release time further negotiations also happened. In Nizam Salaar is achieving breakeven but in Andhra Pradesh, there is no possibility for breakeven.

And now, Pushpa 2 makers are also quoting 200Cr for theatrical rights. Pushpa 1 was not a monumental success in Telugu states. It was the other states and primarily the Hindi version that got mammoth collections to the film. Part 1 was not a big hit in Telugu states and it was just like a normal biggie and ended up less than 110Cr share.

Because of these reasons, the buyers may not take this much risk by putting larger amounts. For Andhra [6 Territories] makers are quoting at 100Cr. If we look at the business trends, then other than the Sankranthi season recovering 60Cr is also very tough. We are seeing that in the case of Salaar.

Even Pushpa 1 did not put any big numbers here. Now we need to see what will be the final business of the film. In Nizam, even the makers quoting at 70 -75 Cr and while that may work out, Andhra Pradesh buyers will not risk these numbers considering the current GO

Baahubali Producer states Salaar’s Hindi numbers are affected due to the lack of promotions

Baahubali Producer states that Salaar’s Hindi numbers are affected due to the lack of promotions. It is widely known that Prabhas’s latest film, Salaar, was released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and Telugu, the main version. While the film’s underperformance in the other languages could be understood, no one could guess that the film would get fewer numbers in the Hindi version.

Because Salaar was made in the combination of Baahubali Hero and KGF Series Director, everyone, including the trade, expected the film to collect massive numbers in North India. However, Salaar has managed to collect just decent numbers in Hindi. Shobhu Yaarlagadda, the Baahubali Producer, states that Salaar’s Hindi numbers are affected due to the lack of promotions.

Lack of Promotions killed the box office potential of Salaar in Hindi

The reason mentioned by Shobhu is absolutely valid. In Telugu, there is no need for any promotions for Salaar, but when it comes to other languages, they must do massive promotions to create a buzz, especially in Hindi. The Baahubali Producer also said that the makers of Salaar could have shown the world of Khansaar and its characters to the audiences before the release, which could have made them more transparent about the film’s story.

Prabhas did a lot of promotions for Saaho in Hindi, and we have seen the numbers of the film, and it opened well there, even with bad reviews. Salaar has good reviews and a massive combination, but the only missing part is a buzz around the film. If they promoted the film well and created a buzz, then for sure, Salaar could have seen double collections than the current numbers.

Salaar has collected around 100Cr net in the Hindi belt, which is a low number considering the combination and scale of the film. If the movie had been promoted well, the team could have reached the 200Cr mark by this time. 

2023 is a fantastic year for Balakrishna and Nani

0

This year has been a fruitful one for Balakrishna and Nani. Both the heroes have scored a couple of hits in 2023. Balakrishna scored a massive hit with Akhanda in 2021, leading people to believe Balayya heavily relies on Boyapati for a hit. But this year changed everything and Balakrishna proved this with Veera Simha Reddy and Bhagavanth Kesari. 

Both the releases worked well at the box office and collected more than Rs 70Cr share worldwide. Veera Simha Reddy which was released for Sankranti had sensational openings and was bigger than Waltair Veerayya even in centers like Nizam and in overseas the movie opened bigger than Chiranjeevi’s film.

With Bhagavanth Kesari, the senior star came out of his comfort zone and did a great job. Both Veera Simha Reddy and Waltair Veerayya did well at the box office and also the raised the market of Balakrishna by a very big margin.

The same is the case with Nani who had 2 releases this year with Dasara taking record openings in tier 2 Heros and also became 1st 100Cr+ grosser for Nani. With Hi Nanna, he proved his strong content selection again winning many hearts. Initially, everyone believed that Hi Nanna would not work at the box office but Nani proved them wrong and made the film successful.

Both Balakrishna and Nani had a memorable 2023 and now all eyes are on their upcoming projects in 2024.

Nagarjuna involves himself in Naa Saami Ranga’s business without taking any remuneration. It is widely known that there has been a massive discussion between the producer and Nagarjuna on the film’s release date. Finally, Nagarjuna is said to have convinced the producer of Sankranthi’s release. Nagarjuna involves himself in Naa Saami Ranga’s business without taking any remuneration. 

Reportedly, Nagarjuna believes that Sankranthi season is a perfect date for the film and is also taking the burden from producers. According to the reports, Akkineni Nagarjuna is not taking any remuneration for the film and is getting involved in the business of the film 

So it gives a big relief for the producer. Reportedly, Nagarjuna is taking the Andhra [6 Territories] region through the Annapurna banner, and these areas of business will be his remuneration. The producer will get money from digital and satellite deals and other areas’ rights so that he will be very safe. The movie is confirmed for the 14th January release, and an official announcement will be made tomorrow.

The film, produced by Srinivasaa Chitturi on Srinivasaa Silver Screen, consists of a gripping story that Prasanna Kumar crafts. The excitement surrounding the project is amplified by the addition of MM Keeravani, who scored the music for the film. Allari Naresh, Raj Tarun, and Ashika Ranganath play pivotal parts in the movie.

Prabhas is very interested in doing Salaar 2, and an official announcement is expected. It is widely known that the Pan Indian action drama Salaar, Prashanth Neel’s directorial, has completed a week at the box office and has gathered massive collections. 

Meanwhile, there is a great anticipation around the film’s second part and the inside reports suggest that Prabhas is very interested to do Salaar 2 and an official announcement is expected about the film. Usually, the sequels will start immediately after Part 1. The same has happened to Baahubali, KGF Series, and Kantara Part 2. Still, for Salaar, it is happening differently than that, as Prashant Neel has already committed to his next film with NTR.

On the other hand, Prabhas also has multiple commitments in the pipeline. Before Salaar’s release, Prashanth Neel said that the first part’s box office performance will decide the fate of the second part. Now, the movie has been released, and Prabhas is said to be very happy with the response of appreciation it received. He especially felt glad for his fans as they finally saw their favorite hero they had wished to see since Baahubali.

As said above, Prabhas is very interested in collaborating for part 2 of Salaar, and an official announcement is expected soon. The fans are trending this on social media, and PR has hinted about this. An official update about Salaar 2: Shouryanga Parvam may be expected very soon.

The film should go on sets as soon as possible because sequels always need an early start. But we must wait to see how the team develops their plans.

Kurchi Madathapetti Song from Guntur Kaaram is a mass feast. It is widely known that the promo of the third single from Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s Guntur Kaaram was released yesterday, and the fans loved it, while a section of the fans and netizens felt it cringed.

The makers of Guntur Kaaram took to their social media account this evening to release the full version of Kurchi Madathapetti.

Guntur Kaaram’s Third Single – Kurchi Madathapetti Lyrical Song

Ramajogayya Sastry wrote the lyrics for this song, and as said above,  there might be some mixed response to the lyrics as they are not so great, but it was a mass song, so the beat and impact are more important than the lyrics. Sahithi Chaganti and Sri Krishna are the singers. Notably, Sri Krishna also sang Ma Ma Mahesha from Sarkaru Vaari Paata.

On January 12, the silver screens will be set on fire by Superstar Mahesh Babu and Sree Leela’s fantastic dance moves to the Thaman’s beats. The film’s theatrical trailer is expected to come out on the day of the pre-release event.

Meenakshi Chaudhary is playing another female lead role in the film. Crucial parts are being played by Jagapathi Baby, Jayaram, Ramya Krishna, Prakash Raj, Rahul Ravindran, and Vennela Kishore.

Prashanth Varma’s Hanuman starring Teja Sajja is releasing on 12th January. The film will be releasing amidst strong competition from other Sankranthi releases. The producers for a long time have been saying that they were the first ones to announce the 12th of January as their release date. Apart from this, all agreements have been made for all other language releases which they can not postpone. 

Recently, director Prashanth Varma interacted with the media for film promotions. During these interactions, he has also said that team Hanuman announced release date first and has revealed that they are receiving blackmail to postpone Hanuman from Sankranthi. Despite this blackmail, the young director has maintained that he won’t postpone the release date at any cost.

Prashanth Varma further revealed that the success of Hanuman is crucial for him because it’s not a standalone film they are planning 12 superhero stories and the first one is Hanuman. The 2nd movie in this series is Adhira which is already in progress. The 3rd movie is a female-centric superhero film and the team is working on these stories.

For all of these things to materialise, Hanuman’s success is extremely crucial. If Hanuman succeeds, multiple directors will be introduced to the industry and multiple films will be released. This is why Prashanth Varma is extremely focussed on Hanuman.

Prashant Neel responds about Salaar’s corporate bookings

Prashant Neel responds about Salaar’s corporate bookings. In the latest interview, which he gave to the Bollywood media, the creator of the KGF Series talked about the negativity surrounding Salaar. Prashant Neel responds about Salaar’s corporate bookings. 

Recently, there was a big controversy regarding the collections and bookings in North India for the Salaar Hindi version and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki. Prashant Neel said that he does not give importance to this kind of negative news, and it (negativity) will die soon.

Recently, the National Plexes placed early morning shows for Salaar and canceled them after some time, creating negativity around Salaar. Shah Rukh Khan’s fans countered Prabhas fans by saying that those were corporate bookings. They stated that the producers of Salaar were desperate for numbers.

In return, Prabhas fans countered that Shah Rukh Khan’s team opened these bookings to spread negativity around Salaar. Prashant Neel responded to this issue but did not take anyone’s name. He chooses to neglect the negativity.

” If this (Salaar) was a solo release or Dunki was a solo release, this wouldn’t have come up. You tend to attack with something like that. The audience is not that foolish for us to take them for granted and do something like this. The misrepresentation they are hearsay. You want to hear more negatives than positives for anything that attracts anyone who wants to read. So it is going to die down. It’s not Salaar Vs Dunki. It’s Dunki and Salaar”
