Nagarjuna trusts Sankranthi season over his stardom

0

Sankaranthi 2024 is going to be an amazing one for the film lovers. Guntur Kaaram, Hanuman, Saindhav, and Eagle are four films that are confirmed to be released for Sankranthi. Vijay Devarakonda’s film has been postponed from the Sankranthi race and Tamil dubbed films Captain Miller, Lal Salaam, and Aylaan will also hit the screens for Sankranthi and these films may get a good number of screens.

These four films Guntura Kaaram, Hanuman, Saindhav, and Eagle will hold the maximum number of theatres as their movies have solid distributors. The industry is expecting Naa Saami Ranga is likely to be postponed from Sankranthi as the film will have very less theatres. On the other hand, Nagarjuna has directed his team to not miss the Sankranthi season.

Naa Saami Ranga has almost completed the shooting part also. Nagarjuna believes that only the Sankranthi festival can give them good numbers. Even if theatre numbers are less, he doesn’t want to postpone the film release only Sankranthi. Looks like Nagarjuna is trusting Sankranthi season more than his stardom for now as his recent films did not work at the box office. Bangarraju made some good numbers in his last 5 years’ releases and that was also released for Sankranthi.

Shivani Rajasekhar reveals reasons for rejecting the Uppena film

Shivani Rajasekhar reveals reasons for rejecting the Uppena film. It is widely known that Actress Krithi Shetty made her debut as the female lead in the romantic drama Uppena, directed by Sukumar’s disciple Buchi Babu Sana. The film also introduced Mega nephew, Panja Vaishnav Tej, to the screen. The film became the first 100-crore club film to star a debut hero in India. Not only that, but it also won the Best Telugu Film Award at the 69th National Film Awards. 

After this film, Krithi Shetty’s career skyrocketed with multiple offers. But it was not Krithi Shetty who got the opportunity to act in the movie. The chance went to Shivani Rajasekhar, the eldest daughter of Jeevitha and Rajasekhar.

It’s been a long time since Shivani Rajasekhar started her career as a heroine. But she failed to achieve the desired level of stardom. However, in a surprising turn of events, Shivani Rajasekhar reveals reasons for rejecting the Uppena film. 

In a recent interview, Shivani said she was the first to receive the offer to act in Uppena, but she turned it down. When asked why Uppena was rejected, Shivani Rajasekhar revealed that the story draft had bold and intimate scenes in the script, and she was not sure she could do them comfortably. 

However, as fate would have it, the script was changed afterward and went to Krithi Shetty. Shivani Rajasekhar stated that even now, if she has to do any lip lock or intimate scenes, she must ask herself.

It is widely known that Krithi Shetty has acted in the film Uppena, and the character had a few intimate scenes. It’s Shivani’s bad luck that the script was changed after she rejected it, and in a way, it helped Krithi. 

Salaar needs a powerful trailer

0

The hype and anticipation about Salaar are known to all. While the film has seen postponement much to the fans’ disappointment, there is still a huge buzz for Salaar pan-India. Definitely, the buzz was different from before the postponement. After the team postponed the release date, they re-shot the film’s parts and added a song. These changes after the postponement gave the audience a feeling that Prashanth Neel was not satisfied with the first output, leading to some doubts over the final output.

The bookings that have opened in the USA and UK are definitely not on par with the bookings that opened for the September 28th release date. During the previous release date, the advance bookings were amazing and everyone felt that Salaar would even break Rajamouli films Baahubali 2 and RRR openings.

But now the bookings are not at that pace and in other languages also, the bookings are very dull. Yes, there is a lot of time for release so definitely there will be a jump in bookings after the trailer. Coming to Telugu, the film will surely take a massive opening even if the trailer is not up to the mark. But for other languages’ success, a solid trailer is extremely important.

Even in Telugu, the trailer will play some role and another point to be considered is that so far only a teaser has been released and the audience has no further glimpse into the movie. There are only two songs out of which one is the mother song and the other one is the item song and the team does not want to release the songs. So practically only the trailer is coming out as promotional content. Hence it is vital that the trailer must create a solid impact.

Mansoor Ali Khan to file a criminal case against Trisha and Chiranjeevi. Yes, you heard it right, the Tamil Actor Mansoor Ali Khan, who has recently apologized to Trisha for his controversial remarks, is said to have announced that she, along with Chiranjeevi and NCW member Khushbu Sundar, will be receiving a legal notice.

He said, “I am going to file a case in the court tomorrow under the criminal and disturbing public peace.” Everyone thought it was over after Mansoor apologized to Trisha, but it looks like the issue will not be settled soon as Mansoor Ali Khan is set to file a criminal case against Trisha and Chiranjeevi.

A few days ago, Khan said: “Forgive me Trisha, my colleague in the film industry.” Khan confessed to feeling sorry to the police officer when he learned that Trisha Krishnan was in turmoil due to his comment, following his appearance for an inquiry after an FIR was filed against him.

He stated that he prayed to the Almighty to be provided the opportunity to ‘bless’ Trisha during her wedding. He also lauded women’s role in society.

Actor Mansoor Ali Khan was condemned by The Actors’ Association, which goes by the name ‘Nadigar Sangam’, for his remarks about Krishnan and was asked to make a public apology. Along with Megastar Chiranjeevi, Khushbu Sundar many other stars called out Mansoor for his disgusting comments.

” When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought that I could carry her to the bedroom, just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes in several movies, and it’s not new to me. But these guys didn’t even show Trisha to me on the sets during the Kashmir schedule.” Mansoor made these disgusting statements in a recent interaction with the media

The movie’s Telugu states rights have been bought by renowned producer Dil Raju for 15Cr. He is releasing the film on his own in Uttarandhra and Nizam regions. Animal movie Telugu states business details are as follows.

Excluding Nizam and Uttarandhra, the other territories’ business is expected to be around 6 Cr. For Dil Raju, from Uttarandhra and Nizam, the movie has to collect around 9Cr to make him safe. The trailer of Animal has created a massive buzz around the movie. 

The Hyderabad advance bookings have already started on a super sensational note. If the movie opens with positive word of mouth, then the breakeven is expected to be completed in 4-5 days, with the hype, and it will be a jackpot deal for Dil Raju. Animal movie’s Telugu states business has been done, and to achieve breakeven, the film needs to collect 15Cr+ share from Telugu states.

The film marks the first collaboration between Ranbir and filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for films like Arjun Reddy and its blockbuster Hindi remake Kabir Singh. Animal is billed as a ‘violent’ film focusing on a complex relationship between Ranbir Kapoor and his father, played by Anil Kapoor.

Pakistani actress signed for Lucifer sequel L2E: Empuran

Pakistani actress signed for Lucifer sequel L2E: Empuran. Malayalam Superstar Mohan Lal and fellow Star Actor and Director Prithviraj Sukumaran have confirmed a sequel to their 2019 blockbuster, Lucifer. The first trailer look poster of the film was released recently. The latest exciting report regarding the movie is that the team has reportedly signed Pakistani actress Mahira Khan.

The Malayalam fans are thrilled that the Pakistani actress signed for the Lucifer sequel L2E: Empuran. Mahira Khan had debuted in Indian Cinema with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees (2017). There was a ban on Pakistani actors working in the Indian film industry, which the Bombay Court recently ruled out. So Mahira Khan can act in Indian films, and the official confirmation about Pakistani actress Mahira Khan signed for the Lucifer sequel L2E: Empuran will be out soon.

Since the 2016 URI attack, India has barred Pakistani artists from entering the country, including actors, actresses, singers, and musicians. A recent event, however, was the filing of a suit in the Bombay High Court by a film worker encouraging Indian celebrities to avoid working with Pakistani artists. The court’s ruling is currently regarded as a watershed moment.

The Bombay High Court, in a significant verdict, has allowed Pakistani artists such as Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan, among others, to work in Indian films and web series. This decision has been heralded as a game-changer in the entertainment business. According to Live Law, the court denied the petition to bar Indian filmmakers from working with Pakistani artists, declaring that “‘patriotism is in devotion to one’s country, not enmity toward another,” as stated by India TV.

The makers claimed that Empuraan has returned and that the saga will continue with a new level of power play. We can observe the lead actor holding a gun in his hand and ready to face a large attack of helicopters aiming their weapons toward him. It is evident that his surroundings are on fire, and the poster tries to portray high intensity and drama. 

Lyca Productions and Aashirvad Cinemas are producing L2E Empuran. Murali Gopy is the writer, while Deepak Dev is the music composer. Sujith Vaassudev is the director of photography. The film will also feature Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, and Indrajith Sukumaran, key actors in the first part. The movie will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.
