Peddi Makers Plan Backup Release Date

Ram Charan’s Peddi was announced for 27th March, 2026, long back. There are strong rumors about the film’s postponement, despite the makers not providing any official update about the change in release plans.

A few months ago, director Buchi Babu announced that they are considering 26th March as the release date to take advantage of the festival. But as said above, the recent buzz strongly suggests that Peddi might not arrive in March due to a delay in the shoot, and Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh is likely to take that date.

Now, another news is that if Ram Charan and Buchi Babu’s film’s postponement becomes unavoidable, the Peddi team is considering May 1st as a possible new release date. As of now, nothing is confirmed, and we may have to wait for a few days to get clarity.

Karthi’s Film Still Stuck in Financial Hurdles

Karthi’s much-awaited film Vaa Vaathiyaar (titled Annagaru Vostaru in Telugu) is scheduled to release in theatres on December 12, but just as the team prepared for its arrival, the financial hurdles emerged, which could disrupt its theatrical release.

Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, the film began production in 2023 but faced multiple delays due to financial problems. After several postponements, fans were relieved when Studio Green finally confirmed a new release date last week.

However, the situation changed suddenly when investor Arjunlal Sundardas filed a case against producer K.E. Gnanavel Raja, demanding repayment of ₹21.78 crore. Following this, the Madras High Court issued a temporary stay on the film’s release and instructed the producer to clear the dues before proceeding further. Until then, Vaa Vaathiyaar cannot be released in theatres.

With only one and a half days to release, Karthi’s film continues to face financial hurdles, as the producer has yet to settle the pending payments. With the High Court maintaining the stay, the producer must resolve the issue by tomorrow if the team hopes to release the film as planned this Friday.

Akhanda 2 Release Teaser Out: Book Your Tickets and Enter the Balakrishna–Boyapati Trance

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2, which was originally scheduled to release on December 5, faced unexpected hurdles and is now set to hit theatres on December 12, and the makers dropped a release teaser to keep the excitement alive among fans.

The buzz has already begun, with premieres starting on the night of December 11. Bookings in the Nizam region have opened, and the response has been energetic. Adding even more momentum, the release teaser from Akhanda 2 has arrived, instantly pushing fan expectations to a whole new level. Released just hours before the film’s arrival, the teaser has amplified the movie’s hype even further.

Every frame in the release teaser carries Boyapati Sreenu’s signature style. One standout moment is the shot where Aghora performs the Dishti with a rowdy’s head for Murali Krishna’s daughter, a sequence that is sure to electrify theatres. Scenes portraying Aghora in a Lord Hanuman-like form, the Shiva Tandavam visuals, the Kumbh Mela sequences, and the action moments shot in snowy mountains also look impressive. As always, Thaman’s music powerfully boosts the action mood.

Overall, this new teaser has taken the hype around Akhanda 2 to the next level, setting the stage for a thunderous release.

Karthi Drops a Bombshell About Kaithi 2

South Indian movie lovers have a special place for Kaithi (2019). Starring Karthi and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film was a huge blockbuster, and its sequel is probably the most anticipated one. However, surprisingly, the hero of the film, Karthi, drops a bombshell about Kaithi 2: he does not have any idea of the film’s progress. 

As said above, Kaithi is a sensational blockbuster that made Lokesh a star director. At the end of the film, the team teased fans with a lead for a sequel and further connected that link with Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, thereby starting the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.

Naturally, the anticipation for Kaithi 2 grew, and everyone wanted to see it immediately. However, Lokesh directed Leo and Coolie in the meantime. After Coolie, the team officially announced Kaithi 2, which thrilled fans. But this excitement was short-lived, as the director changed his plans and attempted to collaborate with Rajinikanth, which ultimately didn’t materialize.

The inside buzz is that Lokesh and his team are working on a superhero subject, which is his dream project, and are in discussions with Aamir Khan and Allu Arjun.

Karthi’s Annagaru Vostharu (Vaa Vaathiyar) is releasing on December 12th. At the film’s audio launch, Karthi stated he doesn’t have any exact updates on Kaithi 2 and said it will happen when it’s meant to. 

It appears that the delay in the filming of the Kaithi sequel has hurt the actor as well, and the film will take a long time to start.

Certainly, fans will flock to the screens to watch the Akhanda sequel, and the good news is that bookings in Telangana will open on the BookMyShow platform soon (7:02 PM).

Tier-2 Stars: Nani Is the Sole Torchbearer for Offbeat Films

Tier-2 Stars: Nani Is the Sole Torchbearer for Offbeat Films

Nowadays, most of the tier 2 star films struggle with many issues, and producers lose crores because the stars are unable to pull the business for the budget. But Nani is the one who is most bankable for producers in tier 2 heroes, as his films have good business deals, both theatrical and non-theatrical, according to their genre.

When it comes to commercial genre films, everyone pulls audiences to the theaters, but pulling them in for offbeat or different films, a big stardom is needed. In tier 2 heroes, Nani is the only one proving that, as he continuously breaks the barriers by doing offbeat films, and those films have worked very well at the box office. 

But for other heroes, audiences are not coming for offbeat genres, even though they receive positive WOM. The main reason is the consistency and judgment of Nani. Putting the box office aside, very rarely do we see Nani’s subject failing, and he always comes up with good subjects as a lead hero and producer as well.

No More Easy OTT Money

The film industries, particularly the Telugu film industry, which underwent major changes after COVID due to the rise of OTT platforms, gradually neglected theatrical box office performance and focused mainly on star combinations and OTT deals. This shift has recently started showing serious consequences.

OTT platforms have moved to a new model where films are acquired at a base price, and the remaining amount is linked to the box office performance, which will surely change the making style of the Telugu film industry. Based on the theatrical run, the streaming platforms will decide the additional payout beyond the base price.

With this change, the industry is essentially back to the pre-COVID reality, and now every film must achieve strong box office numbers for buyers as well as producers to recover their investment. Overestimating the business can push producers into crores of losses. Producers, heroes, and the entire industry need to stay realistic about their market potential before finalizing budgets. Overspending without strong content can lead to massive failures.

Suriya 47: Netflix Adopts Box Office Based Pricing

OTT platforms have now begun acquiring film rights based on box office results, starting with Suriya 47 with Netflix, his upcoming major release that was recently officially launched. This strategy will for sure lead to many changes in the digital deals or business.

The streaming giants are closing deals for a base price, and the additional price depends on a film’s box office performance. As said above, Suriya 47, the film directed by Jithu Madhavan, adopts the same model as Netflix, and the streamer has acquired rights for a base price of 23 Cr. Based on its box office run, the movie can get more revenue from the platform.

Suriya 47 with Jithu Madhavan is said to be made in a proper Malayalam movie style, and it will focus only on content. The team is making it on a very reasonable budget, and Suriya himself is producing the film.

In most cases, 5 contestants enter the finale week, and sometimes 6, with one contestant facing midweek elimination in the last week. There was a strong buzz now that the 9th Season of Bigg Boss Telugu will have its 6 contestants for the last week.

But now, the latest news is that the team has changed its decision to send only 5 contestants to the finale week. This week is said to have a double elimination. According to the current voting, Suman Shetty and Sanjana stand in the last two positions, with Bharani standing in the last third spot.

Out of these three contestants, two will likely be eliminated unless there is a miraculous turnaround in voting, which is practically impossible.
