All India Cine Workers Association demanding a ban on Adipurush in theatres and OTT

0

The All India Cine Workers Association, an independent registered organization of film technicians and workers, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the ongoing controversy over Adipurush and demanded a ban on the film in theaters and OTT as well. The body said the movie insulted the mythological Hindu epic Ramayana and demanded its prohibition. They also called for an FIR to be registered against director Om Raut and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir for violating religious sentiments.

News agency ANI reported on Tuesday afternoon that All India Cine Workers Association had written to PM Modi, requesting him to “stop screening the movie and immediately order a ban of #Adipurush screening in the theaters and OTT platforms in the future.”

In its letter, shared on the organization’s official letterhead, the association’s president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta wrote, “All Indian Cine Workers Association demands ban on screening the movie Adipurush. This movie’s screenplay and dialogues are clearly defaming the image of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. Adipurush Movie is hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and Sanatan Dharma.”

Adipurush, which released on Friday, is based on Ramayana, and has been surrounded by controversy over its dialogues and scenes. Many have criticized the normal language used by some characters, especially Hanuman, by claiming that it degrades their respect. The film was also criticized for taking liberties with its plot and deviating from the epic, which is regarded as holy by many Hindus. Adipurush stars Prabhas as Lord Ram/Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Sita/Janaki, Sunny Singh as Lakshman/Sesh, Deva Dutta Nage as Bajrang/Hanuman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan/Lankesh.

After Thaman, Pooja Hegde out of Mahesh Babu’s Project

0

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram has got off to a rocky start with one speedbump after another coming in its shooting progress. It all started last year when Mahesh Babu was unhappy with fight master Anbariv which led to their exit from the film after shooting of one fight sequence.

The shoot has been delayed several times and now the news of SS Thaman exiting the project has also come out. A lot of changes are happening in this film Thaman is said to be almost out of this film. Right after the news of the music composer’s exit surfaced, another big change is being made in the project.

Pooja Hegde is also said to be out of this film because of the dates issue and the team also looking for a fresh combo. Till now Pooja Hegde has not joined the sets of this movie so there is no budget damage to this change.

After a 12-year gap, Mahesh Babu and Trivikram are coming together with this movie, and the superstar fans have piled up massive expectations on the result of Guntur Kaaram.  The film is aiming for a Sankaranti 2024 release with Sreeleela playing a key role. This project is bankrolled under Haarika and Haasine Creations.

Prabhas movies crashing after the weekend at the box office Continuously

0

Ever since the Pan India releases have started from Tollywood and all over, there has been a discussion about who is the Pan Indian star. With the advance bookings of Adipurush Prabhas has proved that he is indeed the biggest star of Tollywood and no one is near to him. However, Prabhas’s stardom is getting huge pre-release business and massive openings at the box office, but after that, his films are crashing after the first weekend, which is a worrying factor.

There is no doubt that Prabhas has achieved pan Indian stardom, and he can carry such big budget films, but off late the quality and content in his recent films is affecting his box office stamina.

After Baahubali 2, if we observe, all the three films of Prabhas have crashed after having an outstanding weekend at the box office. Saaho and Radhe Shyam films were expected to get drop on Monday because both the movies opened with unanimous bad talk and negative reviews. However, Adipurush getting a massive drop on its 1St Monday is unexpected as the movie has decent reviews, mixed word of mouth with additional advantages like Ramayan and 3D.

This proves that with big stardom, the expectations of the audiences also will be huge and they would not be satisfied with quality less and mediocre content. Adipurush may have better talk than the previous movies, but the film definitely failed to reach the expectations of fans and audiences.

Now Prabhas should take care and deliver strong content with his upcoming films Salaar, Raja Deluxe, and Project K. Otherwise even those films will also get the same result of massive openings and crashing after the 1St weekend.

0

After an extraordinary Sunday, Prabhas’s Adipurush witnessed a massive drop on 1St Monday in all territories. From Telugu states the movie has collected around 4.8 Crores share on day 4, which is a disastrous number and the total 4 days Telugu states share is 69.8 Crores. The Telugu state’s theatricals are valued at 150 Crores and Adipurush is heading towards a big disaster.

The same situation is with the Hindi version, as there also the film witnessed a massive drop and collected around 8 Crores net on Monday, which had shocked the trade circles. Adipurush’s total 4 days worldwide share of Telugu version is 90.7 Crores, while all Languages combined share will be 156 Crores. The worldwide gross of Adipurush for 4 days will be around 293 Crores.

Directed by Om Raut, ‘Adipurush’ stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan, Sunny Singh as Lakshman and Deva Dutta Nage as Lord Hanuman. Ajay – Atul, and Sachet Parampara are the music directors for this movie.

Adipurush is produced on a massive scale by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair of Retrophiles. People Media Factory is bringing the movie to the Telugu audience. Theatrical rights of the Telugu version are valued at 190 CRS and overall, the combined break even mark for all versions of the film is 320 CRS. The film needs to have a good run at least until the next weekend to be in the safe zone, but looking at the current trend, the target looks far away for Adipurush.

The rivalry of Allu Arjun – Mahesh Babu becomes Talk of industry again

0

In the Telugu Film Industry, there were many instances of rivalry between two-star heroes or their fans. Fans teasing or challenging each other for their heroes movies records is not new, but sometimes, knowingly unknowingly heroes also act like they have certain issues with a particular hero. When heroes hint like that, then the fans also become more aggressive. One such rivalry between two-star heroes, Superstar Mahesh Babu and Icon Star Allu Arjun becomes talk of the industry again.

It’s all started with Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Sarileru Neeekevvaru. We know that the two films were released in competition during Sankranthi 2020. The rivalry went terribly as the teams had directly made satires on the other teams on social media also on the success functions.

Allu Arjun, whenever he got a chance, he gave some counters on Mahesh babu indirectly during the clash with promotional videos of the film. Even he interfered when Mahesh was supposed to do a film with Sukumar and some differences regarding script happened between them. Allu Arjun immediately met Sukumar and announced Pushpa suddenly, which shocked everyone.

Now also the same thing is being repeated as reportedly there are differences happening in Guntur Kaaram team. Again Allu Arjun does the same and an announcement of Allu Arjun – Trivikram’s new film expected. The PR teams already almost announced the film, while the producer also gave a hint with his tweet. No one knows the reason for this rivalry between Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun but after 3 years it is again becoming the talk of the industry.

Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s reunion for Guntur Kaaram was met with terrific response when it was announced. The duo have delivered classics like Athadu and Khaleja and the return of this combo filled Mahesh Babu fans as well as trade circles with great anticipation and excitement.

However, ever since the movie has gone on floors, there have been multiple hurdles leading to strong discontentment among Mahesh Babu fans. First, it was issues with fight choreography where the masters were removed from the project and now, reports of issues between the Superstar and Thaman have cropped up.

Mahesh Babu and Trivikram are very good friends and their off-screen bonding is also very good. But when it comes to the movie sets nobody knows what happens between them. The schedules get delayed, the script changes, and the crew is also changed.

For Khaleja, something similar happened and many hiccups in the production stage led to huge delays. There were multiple changes in the script and shoot schedules also altered massively and eventually, the movie failed at the box office. Now, the same thing is happening with Guntur Kaaram. The film was announced 2 years back and went to sets one year ago and still not even 20% of the shooting has been completed
