This film is rumoured to display hanuman’s story in the film. Rajamouli is aiming to do big with this film and so is Mahesh Babu. The film will go on sets anytime this year as its still in the writing stage.

This film will see Vishwak Sen playing a lady getup for the first time in his career. It’s really a surprising and daring attempt for any hero.

Nag Ashwin has already surprised and stunned us by revealing Prabhas as Karna in part 1. This revelation scene was a major highlight of the film. In part 2, many such surprises are expected and Raia’s character is expected to be the biggest surprise revealed in the sequel.

In North India and even in some southern states, there will be flexible ticket pricing liking where weekend prices will be high and weekdays will be comparatively low. Morning shows will have one ticket price and evening shows will have another ticket price.

Pawan Kalyan suggested having a dynamic pricing system as per demand and not going for a fixed rate for all the shows throughout the week.

Quite some time back Prashanth Neel’s Salaar was announced as two-part film. However, Neel clearly mentioned that the sequel will take some time as his next commitment is with NTR. But, after Salaar’s release, Hombale Films started forcing Prashanth Neel to do Salaar 2 and even tried convincing Mythri Movie Makers for the same.

Mythri Movie Makers did not budge to this demand of Salaar producers saying they have been waiting for a long time and Prashanth Neel has already given them a commitment for this project.

Homable Fims are continuously pressuring Neel to start Salaar2 and have asked him to do both movies simultaneously. If both projects proceed simultaneously, both will have an impact and work will be delayed for sure.

Homable Films wants Salaar 2 to go on floors as quickly as possible as they are seeing huge money in this film. They feel Salaar 2 will be as big as KGF 2 so they want to cash on the craze at the earliest.

Ajith will be next seen in Adhik Ravichandran’s ‘Good Bad and Ugly’ along with Magizh Thirumeni’s “Vidaamuyarchi”. Coming to Vidaamuyarchi, the film got off to a rocking start with a lengthy outdoor shoot in Azerbaijan. After this, the film has faced several delays leading to a release date postponement as well.

The film was initially planned for a summer release and then moved to August. Now, it has once again shifted to a Diwali release leading to frustration amongst fans as well as Amazon Prime Video. The global streaming giant had acquired the streaming rights of Vidaamuyarchi for a whopping Rs 70 crores.

With these constant delays, Amazon Prime has reportedly informed the makers of the film that the film must now be released before November under any condition. And failing to do so would lead to them backing down from the deal.

Ajith and Trisha play the main roles in ‘Vidaamuyarchi, where Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Das, Arav, and Regina Cassandra play key roles. The team has shot in Azerbaijan for an extended period and these scenes will be the movie’s highlight. Vidaamuyarchi continues the ‘V’ sentiment of Ajith; out of his last ten films, six of them have been titled with the letter ‘V.’
