Big Telugu Directors Lining Up for Suriya

0

Actor Suriya may be going through a rough patch at the box office with a series of failures, but his popularity remains intact. He continues to enjoy strong market value, and several Telugu directors are eager to work with Suriya in the coming years.

The Ghajini star once delivered massive hits and built a solid fan base not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Telugu states. Industry insiders believe that just one successful film is enough to bring him back into the spotlight.

Despite recent setbacks, Suriya is still considered a big star with the potential to deliver huge numbers, and this faith in his stardom is why the Telugu industry directors continue to show strong interest in collaborating with him.

Suriya to continue to work with Telugu Directors after Venky Atluri’s Film

At present, Suriya is working with Venky Atluri on a family entertainer, a bilingual project in Telugu and Tamil. The film has already generated impressive business, with its OTT rights sold to Netflix for a record price.

Following this project, Suriya is expected to team up with directors from other languages as well. Reports suggest that Vivek Athreya has narrated a story to him, while Buchi Babu Sana is also keen to collaborate after completing Peddi. In addition, several other Telugu filmmakers and top production houses are said to be in talks with the actor.

Double Dhamaka Creates Tension Among Ravi Teja Fans

0

Dhamaka, starring Ravi Teja and Sree Leela, was released in theaters in 2022 and became a super duper hit at the box office. So, the idea of a sequel for the film should excite fans, but Ravi Tej fans are a bit tense with the news of Double Dhamaka. 

Content-wise, Ravi Teja’s Dhamaka didn’t receive much appreciation, with many feeling it wasn’t a great entertainer. However, the film benefited from its songs and the dance moves of Ravi Teja and Sree Leela. There has been a lot of buzz for the past few months about a sequel to Dhamaka, featuring the same team: Ravi Teja, Sree Leela, People Media Factory, and Trinatha Rao.

Now this buzz is turning strong as the People Media Factory team is said to have registered the Double Dhamaka, which is worrying Ravi Teja fans.

Normally, a sequel to a blockbuster movie should excite fans and audiences. However, this sequel is creating tension among fans, as they feel the film doesn’t have a strong foundation for a follow-up, and Ravi Teja is currently facing criticism for his consistent portrayal of mass films. Consequently, fans perceive “Double Dhamaka” as a risky project at this point.

But it is not yet officially confirmed whether the makers are planning the sequel or if it was just a franchise. But if it’s a sequel, then the team has to excite the audiences with proper promotional content.

Dhamaka didn’t gain much appreciation from social media, but it was a big hit with the general public, so the sequel, if it happens, might achieve the same success.
