Dhruv Vikram to ‘Kill’ It Again

Dhruv Vikram, the son of Tamil actor Chiyaan Vikram, is yet to find a good hit as a lead hero. The latest news is that the actor is all set to do the remake of Bollywood’s blockbuster Kill movie.

Reportedly, it will be directed by Telugu Director Ramesh Varma (of Khiladi and Ratsasan Telugu remake fame). Interestingly, Dhruv made his debut with the Arjun Reddy remake in Tamil, but it did not work at all.

He also acted with his father, Vikram, in Mahaan, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, which was directly released on OTT. Currently, Dhruv is working with Mari Selvaraj’s film called Bison, which was announced for an October 17 release.

So, the buzz is that Dhruv Vikram will star in the remake of Bollywood’s blockbuster Kill movie. Nowadays, remakes are not working much at the box office. So, we should wait and see how this film fares.

Released in 2023, Kill is an action drama directed by Nagesh Bhat. The film centers on an NSG commando, who takes on a dangerous robbery gang and protects commoners during a train journey. 

The film features Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Tanya Maniktala, and it is known for its high-octane violence and gripping storyline.

The caste scene triggered a big controversy, and later the team apologized, and the makers deleted those scenes from the series.

ETV Win might have thought that the problem was solved, but a new problem from a religious angle has emerged now.

In the series, the negative characters [Sunil and Sandeep Raj] wear Ayyappa Mala, which has triggered a controversy. 

The netizens ask the makers why, despite no significance for Ayyappa Mala, they used it for negative characters.

Trivikram Repeats His Two-Heroine Formula in Venkatesh’s Film

The Star Writer/Director Trivirkam was supposed to do a big-budget pan-India movie with Allu Arjun. However, the plans changed, and he is doing a film with Venkatesh. Trivikram repeats his two-heroine formula in Venkatesh’s film.

Allu Arjun – Trivikram’s Biggie Cancelled, and the story went to NTR

As said above, there was a buzz about the fourth film of AA-Trivi, but everything changed as the actor chose to work with Atlee. Trivi canceled that project, and the same script goes to NTR, which was recently announced. 

As NTR is busy with his pre-planned commitments, the Attarintiki Daredi director started working on a film with Venky as the lead.

Trivikram – Venkatesh Film will have Two Heroines

The pre-production works have been almost completed for this movie, and it will go on floors this August. It will be a clean family entertainer, and Trivikram repeats his two-heroine formula in Venkatesh’s film.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Team Still at High Prices

After facing multiple delays in shooting and release schedules, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has finally locked its theatrical release for July 24. The recently launched trailer has garnered a positive response, boosting the film’s buzz and giving the trade circle some hope. However, despite the attention, the film’s theatrical business is still not fully closed.

Typically, big-budget films close their business quickly after trailer releases, but that hasn’t been the case here. One major reason is the prolonged shooting delays that affected momentum. Another factor is that the production is not being handled by a regular banner, raising questions in trade circles.

The biggest challenge, however, lies in the mismatch between the prices quoted by the producers and what buyers are willing to pay. Currently, the makers are reportedly expecting around ₹150 crore from the Telugu states alone. While the trailer has helped improve buyer confidence, trade experts feel that if the asking price is adjusted to around ₹120 crore, the deals might close swiftly. With just weeks left for release, it remains to be seen whether the producers will meet the buyers halfway or continue to hold out for premium pricing.

Vishwambhara and Ghaati Keep Waiting

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara and Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati are the two biggies under the UV Creations banner. Both movies started with a good craze, but now, Vishwambhara and Ghaati are still waiting for theatrical release.

UV Creations will find it tough to find the release dates for Vishwambhara and Ghaati

ETV Win Lands in Caste Controversy

ETV Win’s latest web series, AIR (All India Rankers), started streaming a few days back, and it is receiving a good response for the content. However, ETV Win lands in caste controversy because of the AIR web series.

The series is about hostels and students’ lives, and the caste part is also involved in it. This has hurt a section of viewers, as they felt they were targeted.

Even though such kinds of disputes or fights happen in real life, making fun of a particular caste, i.e., ‘chowdary,’ is certainly a mistake on the part of the streaming platform.

The Public’s Favorite Platform, ETV Win Lands in an Unexpected Caste Controversy

ETV Win lands in a caste controversy because of the AIR web series. The producer, Sandeep Raj, also faced the heat along with the digital platform, and they apologized to the hurt ones.

The digital platform said that from now on it will make sure that no particular community or caste of people will be hurt by its content. 

The viewers could not believe that such a kind of caste comedy was streaming on ETV Win, as Ramoji Rao belonged to the same caste, and everyone saw him as an ICON.

AIR (All India Rankers) is a coming-of-age web series featuring Harsh Roshan in the lead. On Sunday, the makers announced the release date for the series. It is produced by Colour Photo fame Sandeep Raaj in association with Surya Vasupalli. 

Debutant Joseph Clinton Chevveti is the writer and director of the show. While Bhanu Prakash and Jayatheertha play the other two leads, the ensemble cast includes prominent names like Harsha Chemudu, Ramana Bhargav, Chaitanya Rao Madadi, Jeevan Kumar, Akshara, and Sunil. Producer Sandeep Raj appears in a significant role as well.
