Back-to-back big setbacks for NTR

0

In the case of regional films, the result of previous films may not have a great impact on the next films as star heroes have a great following and capability to pull the audience. Star heroes can create buzz irrespective of combination and other factors. However, when it is a pan-India film, a lot of things need to work in favour of the film. Something similar is happening with 2 of NTR’s upcoming projects. When NTR signed War 2 everyone thought it would be a huge film for NTR in Bollywood as the YRF spy series films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, and Pathaan were blockbusters.

But, the failure of Tiger 3 which is the latest installment in the YRF spy universe has changed everything. The audience rejected the film and it is believed that they are bored of this genre and a saturation point has been reached already. Due to this reason, YRF dropped the idea of a much-hyped Tiger vs Pathaan film. For War 2 all the pre-production work has been completed and shooting started with body doubles for action episodes Unfortunately, there is no hype and anticipation for the film as of now because of spy series is not working for audiences.

Tiger 3 result proved that and this genre is appealing only to a limited set of north audiences and south audiences have usually rejected these movies. So there will be a lot of hurdles to pass for the film to create buzz at the pan-India level.

While this is one hurdle that Tarak will have to cross, another is coming up in the form of his film with Prashanth Neel.

NTR’s other upcoming film is committed with Prashant Neel. Everyone knows Prashant Neel has a huge brand at pan India level. With the KGF series and with Salaar his brand was expected to grow much bigger. But surprisingly, Salaar is doing well only in Telugu and disappointing in other languages. Even non-Telugu audiences are fed up with KGF-style narration and movie setup from Prashant Neel. NTR’s look which was released some time back is also in the same style which is already attracting some negativity for the project.

A few months ago War 2 and Prashant Neel films were seen as a sure-shot blockbuster lineup. But now, with Tiger 3 and Salaar, it has changed. The team has to come up with a lot of exciting stuff to attract all sections of audiences, failing which the movies could fail to create any hype.

No theaters for Tamil films in Telugu states on Sankranthi

No theaters for Tamil films in Telugu states on Sankranthi. It is widely known that Superstar Rajinikanth’s Lal Salaam, which was scheduled to be released on Pongal/ Sankranthi, announced the postponement. The makers took the right decision by postponing Sankranthi as the film had a Rajinikanth cameo and needed the Telugu market. No theaters for Tamil films in Telugu states on Sankranthi

The films released on Sankranthi are Dhanush’s Captain Miller Captain, Siva Karthikeyan’s Ayalaan, Vijay Sethupathi’s Merry Christmas, and Arun Vijay’s Mission. Apart from Mission, all the other Tamil films have planned a parallel release in Telugu states, too, but as Sankranthi is packed with Telugu movies, there is no chance for these films to get theatres. 

In a recent interaction with the media, Producer Dil Raju also confirmed that there are not enough theaters for our Telugu movies here, so we cannot give theaters for dubbing movies. He said Telugu movies would be prioritized first, and they will provide theaters for the Telugu movies. After that, dubbing films can be accommodated if any remaining theaters exist.

So, there won’t be any room for Tamil releases next Sankranthi because of the high number of Telugu films lined up. Allocating a minimum number of screens for Tamil films would be challenging due to the more significant business being done for Telugu films. Guntur Kaaram, Hanuman Saindhav, and Eagle have been made on huge budgets. All the Tamil films may be released in Telugu after the completion of the Sankranthi holidays.

Several major multiplexes especially the national chains are now strictly following the rule of Censor certification. Prashanth Neel’s Salaar which received an ‘A’ certificate from the censor board is now facing a major brunt of this strict implementation. Prashant Neel has expressed his disappointment with Salaar receiving an A censor certificate and the implications that it is facing now.

“I’m very disappointed because the movie isn’t vulgar; it showcases necessary violence. When I conveyed the same to Prabhas, he advised me to go for an A certificate,” said Prashant Neel during the promotional interview with SS Rajamouli. “As censor team changes guidelines we do not have chance to go with U/A as they are asking many cuts so we decided to go with ‘A’, “he added.

Now Salaar is facing the impact of this strict implementation. Normally in Telugu states a majority of theatres do not follow these guidelines. But for Salaar, the national chains and a few Plexes are strictly following the guidelines. Many families who went to PVR theatres with kids faced a setback as the staff did not allow the kids by saying Salaar was an ‘A’ certificate film. A few families fought with staff but the staff were very strict on enforcing these regulations
