Bollywood occupied a huge share in the Indian cinema and holds a prominent place even worldwide. Though movies get released in the regular intervals in Bollywood, there is a huge fan base for South Indian Movies in the rest of the country. Handpicked movies by the Bollywood filmmakers will be remade into Hindi and some other movies will be dubbed and released online.

Goldmines Telefilms, Aditya Movies, Pen Movies, and RKD Studios are some of the popular channels to release Telugu dubbed movies. To our surprise, the movies which failed at the Box-office trended top in the Youtube with record views and likes. Not only on Youtube, when these movies were telecasted on TV channels like Star Gold, Set Max, Zee their TRP’s also compete with the small and medium budget Bollywood movies.

Last Saturday, Akhil’s Mr. Majnu was released by Goldmines Telefilms and hit 50M views and 1M likes in just 5 days and this is the first Tollywood film to do it. His elder brother Naga Chaitanya’s Savyasachi also crossed 100M mark in the views recently. Both these movies struggled at the box-office but entertaining the Hindi audience in a better way. Savyasachi and Mr. Majnu featured Nidhi Agarwal as a lead actress who is a known face to Bollywood audience. This also may be one of the reasons behind these record views. However, it’s like a small cheer up moment for Akkineni Brothers and respective movie teams.

Aadi Saikumar made his debut in Tollywood with Prema Kavali registering his first hit at the box-office. His second movie Lovely also performed well. The audience thought that he would become a star hero but the actual story is different. He has not seen any success after Lovely.

He tried many genres like action, family, horror, romantic and thriller but nothing worked out.

He signed a couple of films which are in the pre-production stage and two of his films titled as Sashi and Jungle.

Now, going by the latest reports it is said that Aadi Saikumar is roped in as a lead actor for a PAN Indian project bankrolled by SVR Productions. A debutant director Balveer S will direct this project. It is said to be an investigation thriller and Aadi might play a cop role. Moviemakers want to add the solid and sound technical values to this script. It is planned to be released as a series in two chapters. The movie team said that this movie is going to be a game-changer in Aadi’s career. Let’s see if Aadi bounces back with this PAN India movie.

Did Vamshi Paidipally Find His Hero ?

0

Last year, Vamshi Paidipally delivered Maharshi with Super Star Mahesh Babu and it conquered the box-office and stood as the highest grosser in Mahesh’s career and later this year Sarileru Neekevvaru replaced it. Earlier Mahesh Babu was interested to work with Vamshi and asked Vamshi to develop a powerful script.

But the things didn’t workout, Vamshi’s plot was not up to the mark and didn’t reach Mahesh’s expectations. Eventually, Geetha Govindam fame Parashuram came into limelight and Mahesh Babu announced the project Sarkaaru Vaari Paata which was launched on 31st May.

So, Vamshi Paidipally started approaching other star heroes for his flick and recently narrated a story to Mega Power Star Ram Charan. The buzz is that Charan was impressed with the story and asked Vamshi to come up with the final draft. If everything goes well, the super hit combo of Cherry-Vamshi will be back with #RC14. Earlier Ram Charan and Vamshi delivered a commercial successful Yevadu which also stars Allu Arjun in a cameo role. It’s likely that Dil Raju will be producing this film under Sri Venkateswara Creations.

Charan is busy with his current projects RRR and Aacharya. He will be seen as Alluri SeethaRamaraju sharing screen with NTR in RRR directed by SS Rajamouli and also producing Chiru-Koratala’s Aacharya. Charan plays an important role in Aacharya and Charan’s episode might portray the flashback. As of now, there is no official sign regarding Vamshi – Ram Charan film.
