AR Rahman is a name that needs no introduction to movie lovers. Over the last three decades, he has given several chartbusters and iconic tunes to world cinema. However, over the last few years, he has faced slightly tough times and been a bit off-key in terms of giving chartbusters like olden days. Tollywood’s Devi Sri Prasad is also a renowned name and has given chartbuster after chartbuster, especially during the early 2000s till the last few years.
Rahman leads the Tamil music and Indian music scene as well while DSP has been the leading new-age Telugu music composer for many years. But in recent years they both faced some tough times and at the same time, Thaman emerged as an option for DSP in Telugu while Anirudh has become the go-to choice for Tamil directors.
But now, the trend is changing and Anirudh and Thaman are receiving mixed responses for their recent works. Now, DSP is getting busy with multiple projects and the same applies to legendary AR Rahman as well. Currently, Anirudh is also demanding the same remuneration in the range of AR Rehman and the directors started preferring the industry senior.
Rahman, was in fact, never out of form. In reality, he just didn’t match the impossible standards that he himself set long back. With Ponniyin Selvan, Maamannan, Pattu Thala and now KH234 intro music, he has received widespread applause and has once again become the go-to choice for many biggies. Similarly, DSP gave Pushpa and has emerged as the go-to option after Thaman’s recent few films failed to meet expectations. All in all, it’s great to see the two making a strong comeback.

‘Kota Bommali PS’, starring Rahul Vijay and Shivani Rajasekhar in lead roles, has Srikanth and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in pivotal parts. While Teja Marni of ‘Arjuna Phalguna’ fame is directing the movie, producers Bunny Vas and Vidya Koppineedi of GA2 Pictures have bankrolled it. The folk song ‘Lingi Lingi Lingidi’, which was released recently, has been a massive hit.
A teaser launch event was today held at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad. Blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi unveiled the teaser as the chief guest.
Speaking on the occasion, Anil Ravipudi said, “I am happy to launch the Kota Bommali PS teaser. The ‘Lingidi’ song created a strong buzz about the movie. Kudos to the music director who composed the chart buster. I have seen the original version of this movie. Many changes have been made while adapting the original. ‘Lingidi’ itself is proof of that. The teaser is very interesting. Especially the dialogue about the government and pistols.
I have seen Teja Marni’s previous films. My best wishes to him and the entire team. We will see a senior hero like Srikanth in a realistic character. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Rahul Vijay and Shivani will be seen in good roles. All the best to all of them. Allu Aravind garu is like MS Dhoni. Bunny Vas and SKN are playing well with the confidence that he is behind them. Now Vidya garu has joined them.”
Allu Aravind said, “My best wishes to Vidya, Bhanu and Riaz, who are getting introduced through this film. ‘Kota Bommali PS’ is about how the politicians are misusing the police department, accentuating the difficulties and sufferings of the police. This is a very satisfying story. I wish Teja Marni and the entire team strong success and fame.”
Rahul Vijay said, “This is an honest attempt. Our team has worked really hard. I hope everyone likes the teaser. Our film will arrive at the cinemas on November 24 to engage you all.”
Shivani Rajasekhar said, “Thanks to Anil Ravipudi who launched the teaser. Special thanks to Allu Aravind garu for supporting us. ‘Lingidi’ song has exceeded our expectations. And the views on YouTube that it has been garnering have been on the rise. I hope that the film will be supported as well as the song.”
Director Teja Marni said, “Thanks to everyone who made ‘Lingidi’ song such a grand hit. We have shown some of the story through the teaser. We have made this film with the concept of how the police, who are supposed to nab criminals, get stuck in a trap. Thanks to Bunny Vas and Allu Aravind garu for giving me the opportunity.”
Producer Vidya Koppineedi said, “Everyone worked hard on this movie. The ‘Lingidi’ song has amassed 30 million views.”
Producer Bunny Vas said, “Thanks to Anil Ravipudi for the teaser launch. I like his movies a lot. He is also the inspiration for the song ‘Lingidi’. After seeing the song ‘Gunna Gunna Maamidi’ from the movie ‘Raja The Great’, I got the idea of infusing a folk song. Our film’s song is creating a sensation, generating a strong buzz for our movie. The dialogues are written by Nagendra Kasi. His lines and Teja’s direction are thought-provoking. Some dialogues might spark a political row.
I have the experience of seeing many things happening in the run-up to elections. Teja has shown well the mindset of those in the system. Some of the scenes in this movie will be relevant to those participating in the electoral process as well as the politicians. The persuasive film is based on some real incidents. While not being biased in favor of any particular party, this film exposes how the system has been gamed by those who seek power at any cost,” he said.
SKN said, ”It is a pleasure to see Vidya Koppineedi enter the field as a producer with a good film of this kind. The teaser is very interesting. ‘Lingi Lingi Lingidi’ song has already gone viral. I want this film to be successful.”
Co-producers Bhanu Pratapa and Riyaz Chowdary, writer Kasi Nagendra, art director Gandhi Nadikudikar, producers Dheeraj and Vamsi Nandipati also participated in the program.
Salaar Producers are not at all ready for postponement at all. It is widely known that for a few days, there were many rumors that Prabhas and Prashanth Neel’s pan-Indian film was being postponed, but the inside circles suggest that Salaar Producers are not ready for a postponement.
The producers of Salaar Part 1 Ceasefire, Hombale Films, were reportedly unhappy during the first postponement (From 28th September to 22nd December). Still, Prashant Neel forced them to postpone the film as he was not satisfied with the output of a few scenes and went for a reshoot.
As said above, a few sections of the media people started rumors about Salaar’s postponement again. However, the industry sources are saying that the producers are not at all ready for another delay, and they have even expressed the same with Prashant Neel because the movie’s business is affected by the delays in release. The producers are already not happy with the way the business of the film has happened.
The postponement has affected a 15% – 20% business for Salaar’s makers. So, they cannot retake risk as if any delay happens again, then business will ultimately go down. The producers are also not happy with the non-theatrical and OTT business. At any cost, they want the film to be released on December 22.
Salaar is directed by KGF Series maker Prashanth Neel. The film stars Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Easwari Rao in crucial roles. Ravi Basrur is the music director of the film.
Allu Aravind says heroes are not responsible for increased budgets. He talked about the current trend of big budget films at his upcoming production, Kota Bommai PS, film’s teaser launch. For a long time, the topic of remuneration for star heroes has been going on in the industry. The rise in movie production costs was attributed to the star heroes paycheck. However, the ace producer Allu Aravind says heroes are not responsible for increased budgets.
Today at the teaser launch event of Kota Bommali PS, Allu Aravind, one of the major producers of Telugu cinema, trashed the notion of Heroes remuneration being the reason of increased cost in filmmaking.
Allu Aravind gave an answer that cost is the main reason why big banners like Geetha Arts are staying away or being cautious about making big-budget films. When asked about the issue of heroes’ pay raising the cost of movies, especially when there are many star heroes present in his family, Allu Aravind disagreed by saying it is the audience who want to see big budget films only.
According to Allu Aravind, the star heroes receive only 20 to 25% of the movie’s cost and their remuneration does not impact the cost, He also asserts that the audiences are not willing to watch movies that are not big and grand, regardless of who is the hero in the film.
Allu Aravind explains that in a Pan Indian blockbuster like KGF, the hero was not a superstar before the release, but the movie became a blockbuster. According to Allu Aravind, two big movies are scheduled to be released by Geetha Arts, but they are being postponed for a few reasons.

Swathi Reddy and Naveen Chandra starrer Month of Madhu was released on Aha on November 3rd and has received an excellent response from netizens. The film was released in theatres on October 6th to mostly positive reviews with special applause for Swathi’s performance as Lekha. The theme of married life and a woman’s life after marriage were greatly appreciated and those who couldn’t catch the film in theatres, are now sharing rave reviews about the film on social media.
Usually, films that mostly which deal with sensitive concepts will not work at the box office. A major reason for their cold performance in theatres is because of their slow narration and in theatres audience always wants an engaging screenplay with strong emotions.
Light-hearted films with slow screenplay mostly fail to draw the audience to the theatres and something similar happened with Month of Madhu. While it did not work as well as expected in theatres, it’s doing wonderfully well on OTT and the movie is trending on top of Aha streaming charts.
Written and directed by Srikanth Nagothi, Month of Madhu also stars Naveen Chandra and Manjula Ghattamaneni. Yaswanth Mulukutla has produced the film under the banner of Krishiv Productions and Handpicked Stories.
Hero Akhil is struggling to choose his next project. It has been over six months since his previous film, Agent, was released and became a big disaster at the box office. Since then, Akhil has not moved to the next project. Usually, as per plan, he had to do a big-budget film with a new director, Anil, under the UV Creations banner.
However, the movie did not go on to the sets, and there has yet to be an official update. Per the reports, the script work is still happening for the film. Akhil still struggles to confirm his next, or he wants a full-fledged script before going on the sets. The fans are worried as Akhil is struggling to choose his next project.
Akhil is also reportedly listening to other scripts, but as of now, he has not confirmed any projects officially. There is no clarity on how much he will take to zero on a subject. The bad result of Agent has affected him very badly. He put a lot of effort into that film and thought it would be a game-changer in his career, but the movie gave an unforgettable result.
Akhil was reportedly discussing another two films with director Vamsi Paidipally and Dasara fame Srikanth Odela. We know that Srikanth Odela has received a high amount of applause for his directorial skills in Dasara, as many could not believe that it was his debut film. The combination of Akhil and Srikanth would have been an exciting one to watch out for, but as of now, this combo will be unable to make it to the sets.
