0

Kantara the film is currently trending across the country along with the Telugu states. Everyone who saw Kantara is spellbound by it and says it is a miracle. This movie from Kannada is produced by KGF makers Hombale Films. At present, it has already collected more than 25 crores in Telugu and gave a sweet shock to the trade circles.

On the other hand, news regarding the OTT of this movie is going viral on social media. Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights of this blockbuster ‘Kantara’ for a huge price.

However, the news is going viral that according to the earlier agreement, the film will be available on Amazon Prime on November 5. The producer of the film, Karthik Gowda, responded on Twitter.

They clarified that the streaming of the movie from November 5 is unrealistic and that they will announce when the movie will come in OTT. But according to the inside reports, there is a truth in the news and Kantara will come to OTT on November 5 as per the agreement.

That will make a gap between the theatrical release and OTT release of 5 weeks, which is okay for an average runner but Kantara is still getting good collections and without any opposition, it is expected to do well in the coming weeks also. A few sections of movie lovers are feeling that makers should have postponed the OTT release date.

Kantara movie was released in Telugu under the Geetha Arts banner under supervision of Allu Aravind. Released on the 15th of this month, it is collecting huge collections here as well.

None of the film’s actors like hero and heroine are not known to the Telugu audience but it impressed the audience because of good content. This Kannada film, which was released as a small film, is showing its strength at the box office. The film, written and directed by Kannada hero Rishabh Shetty, has already collected 250 crores worldwide.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s indirect satire on Garikapati Narasimha Rao

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi is not only known for his acting talent but also has a great name for his dances and fights, last but not his comedy timing is highly regarded. Not only the dialogues in the films but also the puns he makes based on situations in reel life explode laughs sometimes.

Recently, he came to launch a book titled ‘Shoonyam Nundi Shikharagram Varaku’ written by film journalist Prabhu. This book release function became a big event with the arrival of Megastar Chiranjeevi.

It is natural that in whichever function a big star like Chiranjeevi attends there will be craze around him. So naturally seeing him, everyone came to the stage to take a picture with him. Chiranjeevi happily obliged their request and took pictures with them. While posing for pics Chiranjeevi said ‘he is not here right?

Though he did not mention the person’s name, everyone understood who the mentioned person was.

Recently, Chiranjeevi participated in the Alai Balai program organized by Bandaru Dattatreya. Famous spiritual speaker Garikapati Narasimha Rao was also present at the program and while he was giving a speech, some lady fans were having a photo session with Chiranjeevi.

At that time, Garikapati said that he will give the speech only if Chiranjeevi stops taking those photos and come to the stage.. or else he will leave from there.

There was a lot of fuss about this matter for a few days. Mega fans also made videos warning Garikapati. Garikapati did not make any statement about this issue. Chiranjeevi responded to this matter in an interview and said that he has nothing to do if anyone mistakes his acts for wrong, also he said that Garikapati is a respected and big person and his comments should not be made controversial.

Now due to almost the same scene being repeated during the release time of this book, he remembered that and threw an indirect punch at Garikapati. Mega fans are happy with Chiru’s timing and sense of comedy while some others felt that it was unnecessary to take a dig at Garikapati after the issue was closed.

0

Kantara has been wreaking havoc at the box office in the last few weeks and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. Despite a large number of releases for Diwali, Kantara has held its own on the Diwali weekend. The film has had an excellent Diwali performance at the box office.

Kantara witnessed a very good jump in all the languages. As of now, the film has earned 140+ crores in gross collections in Karnataka. In the Telugu states, the film has posted 35 crores gross and close to 40 crores in the Northern regions. Coming to the rest of India, Kantara has managed 10 crores. Even the overseas collections are phenomenal with 18+ crores gross overall.

In India, the film has garnered over 225+ crores as of now and in total, it has crossed 243 crores worldwide. This is a mind-blowing feat considering that the film was promoted very little in all the languages and yet the film grew so huge. Content is always the king and Kantara has proved it once again.

Kantara has beaten the collections of KGF and has emerged as the second highest-grossing Kannada movie of all time and the highest apart from the mammoth KGF-2. The film is expected to cross 250+ crores by today.

Industry People In Support Of Puri Jagan’s Decision To Not Compensate Distributors

0

After the many losses of Liger in various territories, the distributors of the film are behind Puri Jagan for the compensation of the losses. While compensation is always a nice thing to do, it is not necessary for any producer or director to repay the money back.

The distributors have gone overboard by planning a strike against Puri Jagan for the Liger losses. In response to this, Puri Jagan has made some very logical points on a phone call. After this, the industry members are contacting Puri and told him not to return even a single penny to those distributors and that this should be a lesson to them.

According to industry members, compensating for losses is the producer’s wish. Whether he wants to do it or not is according to his current mindset and also his financial stability. But the distributors have no right to demand compensation. These days they are blackmailing the producers to compensate and this is where the line should be drawn.

This debacle about compensation and losses around Liger has been going on for a long time now. We are hoping that Puri Jagan quickly comes out of this mess and delivers a comeback.

Can Dil Raju Stand By His Words And Postpone Vijay’s Varisu In Telugu States

0

During the time of the release of F2, producer Dil Raju had expressed his opinions about how some dubbed films are getting theatres when there are 3 original straight big films. At the time, he also suggested that they may have to release after the festival so they can get theatres.

Now, Dil Raju is in the same situation. Being the producer of Thalapathy Vijay’s Varisu, he is stuck in a dilemma. A total of 4 big films have been announced for Sankranthi and the Varisu director and hero have clearly mentioned that it’s not a bilingual film but a straight Tamil movie dubbed into Telugu.

So according to Dil Raju’s words, he should ideally postpone the film in the Telugu states. Because there are 4 original big films that are scheduled to release this Sankranthi. But will he stand by his words or act according to convenience, we will have to wait till Sankranthi.

Meanwhile, there is stiff competition among the films this Sankranthi. Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy, Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veeraya, Prabhas’ Adipurush, and Akhil’s Agent are all set to release for Sankranthi. Even in Tamil, Ajith’s Thunivu and Vijay’s Varisu will be battling it out.

Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy Budget Is Close To 100 Crores; Biggest Film In Balakrishna’s Career

0

With the mammoth success of Krack for Gopichand Malineni and Akhanda for Balakrishna, both of them are in top form right now. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see how their next collaboration together turns out. So far, the massy title, the powerful glimpses, and the look of NBK have given a lot to look forward to.

As a result of their current form in the Telugu Film Industry, both NBK and Gopichand Malineni are taking their highest remunerations yet for Veera Simha Reddy. Along with this, the film has a huge star cast and crew including some prominent names like Shruti Haasan, Kannada actor Duniya Vijay and also Varalaxmi Sarathkumar.

Before going to sets, the makers estimated a budget of around 70 crores for the film. But now the budget is said to have been increased by at least 25%. Now the budget is more than 90 crores and adding the cost for promotions, will add up to 100 crores. But this is not a major worry for the makers as they can easily recover more than 120+ crores with all the non-theatrical rights of the film.

However, the movie has a lot of expectations riding on it and if positive word of mouth gets out, the collections will be unimaginable. This is the highest-budget film in Balayya’s career and we are all hoping that the film lives up to it.
