Rashmika trolled for her “I am from Hyderabad” comment at Chhaava event

0

Actress Rashmika Mandanna was a Kannada Actress, and she rose to fame with her Kirik Party, released in 2016. She grabbed few opportunities in Tollywood and attained stardom later continuing as a lead Actress since then. She has also recently worked for Chhaava which released yesterday. As part of promotions, the Actress while giving her speech said that she was from Hyderabad which didn’t go well with the netizens who are now trolling her badly.

Netizens, especially the ones from Karnataka, are not happy with Rashmika quoting her as from Hyderabad when she debuted and had a career in Sandalwood initially. They also trolled her for disowning her roots with this speech and backed people who troll her on this aspect.

Rashmika, in the past, made controversial comments about the Production House of Kirik Party which raised the eyebrows of a few netizens. Later, she also said that she didn’t watch Kantara when the film was ruling the roost becoming a sensational blockbuster. Netizens then also pointed out that she had ignored the film intentionally because it featured Rishab Shetty, the Director of Kirik Party.

So, these fresh comments have sparked criticism of her once again. The Actress is yet to respond to this. Meanwhile, Chhaava released yesterday and opened well. The film is an adaptation of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Rashmika played the role of his wife.

Kerala Producers Call Shutdown

0

Kerala Producers are calling for a shutdown due to the sharp increase in the remunerations of cast and crew in recent years. However, if we compare with Telugu and Tamil industries, Malayalam artists charge relatively reasonable remunerations based on their market. 

Even then, Kerala producers are finding it a big burden to sustain themselves with the increase in remunerations. The Kerala Producers called for a shutdown from 1st June on movie shootings, exhibitions, and distribution. Also, it is being reported that they want to discuss with the government about taxes,

This is certainly a good call from producers. One cannot help but think that Why can’t Telugu and Tamil producers take similar action to control the rising costs, especially when most of the films in both industries, including star-studded biggies, are turning into cost failures? 

Now for many Telugu and Tamil films, the entire theatrical collection does not match the heroes’ remuneration itself. So, the makers should take a cue from the Malayalam Makers. Recently, the Kerala film industry was in the news because of the Hema Committee Report.

Vishwambhara is the upcoming big-budget fantasy film starring Megastar Chiranjeevi. The film is facing delays in its filming, which is affecting its theatrical release plans. The Mega fans will be disappointed with this news, but the latest reports suggest that Vishwambhara has been moved out of Summer.

Directed by Mallidi Vassishta, (who made Bimbisara starring Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead role), this mega-budget film was initially planned for this Sankranthi but due to the delay in VFX works, it was pushed to summer and there were reports that the makers are planning to release the film on 9th May.

Vishwambhara battles many issues

Now this fantasy film is said to be postponed again as VFX work is still taking time and the makers still need to lock non-theatrical business. There have been a lot of hurdles for the film to overcome and as said above,  Mega fans will be disappointed with this news, but the latest reports suggest that Vishwambhara has been moved out of Summer.

The film is likely to arrive in the 2nd half of 2025. A massive promotional content that could take the film’s buzz to the next level is required for the film to turn the tables and have a good result at the box office.
