0

Responding to the rumors of postponement, the Peddi makers officially announced that the new schedule of Mega Powerstar Ram Charan’s much anticipated film begins tomorrow in Hyderabad, followed by an extensive shoot planned in Delhi.

The entire talkie portion will be completed by the end of January. Moreover, the post-production work is happening in full swing soon simultaneously, and everything is perfectly aligned for the grand worldwide release on March 27th, 2026.

Although the Peddi makers have made an official declaration, industry sources strongly point out that the movie will be postponed, with Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh set to be released at that time.

Rumors and changes in release dates are nothing new for the Telugu film industry, and we must wait to see the final outcome.

Allari Naresh and ‘Polimera’ fame Kamakshi Bhaskar’s latest thriller, 12A Railway Colony, released last month but failed to impress audiences in theatres, and surprisingly, the film is now streaming on OTT without any prior buzz.

Anil Vishwanath, the director of the Polimera franchise, provided the story and screenplay for this film and also served as the showrunner. The major OTT platform Prime Video is currently streaming 12A Railway Colony in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. While the film could not entertain audiences in theatres, it remains to be seen whether it will find some acceptance on OTT.

The film features Sai Kumar, Viva Harsha, Getup Srinu, Saddam, Jeevan Kumar, Gagan Vihari, Madhumani, Aneesh Kuruvilla, and others in key roles. With Anil Vishwanath as the showrunner, the film is directed by Nani Kasaragadda. 12A Railway Colony is produced by Srinivas Chitturi under the Srinivas Silver Screen banner, with Pawan Kumar presenting it.

0

Actress Krithi Shetty, who is currently waiting for a solid theatrical success, is now facing a series of unexpected postponements for her films. Earlier, her movie with Karthi, Vaa Vaathiyaar, was pushed to a later date.

Not just that, but her other completed films, Jayam Ravi’s Genie and Pradeep Ranganathan’s LIK, have also been postponed even after finishing their shoots.

Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar (titled Annagaru Vostaru in Telugu) was scheduled to release in theatres tomorrow, but it has now been delayed due to financial issues.

With this surprising turn of events, all three of Krithi Shetty’s upcoming films have been postponed. She currently doesn’t have many big projects lined up, so she is hoping these movies will release soon and help give her career the boost she needs.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film, Dhurandhar, the latest spy action drama, is doing a rampage at the box office, and the film is doing equally well in overseas and India, but it has been banned in several countries.

It is well-known among Hindi cinema followers that films depicting Muslims negatively are often banned in the Gulf region and surrounding countries. Films like “Fighter” and “Tiger 3” faced similar issues, and now “Dhurandhar” has been banned in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Turning out to be a Major Blockbuster

According to the makers, the movie has collected more than 300Cr+ gross in 1st week. The Gulf countries market is a huge market for Bollywood films, and the non-release in these countries has a big impact on the film’s collections. However, the film is expected to have a solid long run in theaters as it received unanimous positive reviews from audiences.

0

Within a few hours, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 premieres will start worldwide, much to the delight of fans who have massive expectations for the film, and it is all set to register the career-best openings for the actor. 

In terms of budget and business, Akhanda 2 emerged as the highest one for Nandamuri Balakrishna. The film cleared all hurdles and is releasing in theaters tomorrow and premieres tonight. The movie is releasing with big ticket prices, with a flat ticket rate of 600 Rs for premieres, and it also has a considerable hike for regular shows as well in the Telugu states.

The initial bookings are solid and much better than expected. Daaku Maharaaj scored the best opening for Balakrishna with 51 Cr+ Gross worldwide, and irrespective of word of mouth, Akhanda 2 is set to beat this with its initial bookings trend. If the word of mouth comes positively from early premieres, then the sequel to Akhanda is expected to see over 65 Cr start at the box office.

Akhanda 2 Update: Makers Deny All Premiere Rumours, Grand Shows Set for Tonight

0

After facing some unexpected financial hurdles at the last minute, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 is all set for worldwide theatrical release, with grand premiere shows tonight. There were a few doubts about its release with the latest order from the Telangana High Court, but the makers denied all those rumors.

The makers made an official announcement and requested everyone not to believe any circulating rumors about the premiere shows. “Everything is completely on track for the grand premieres of Akhanda 2,” they said.

Balakrishna fans are eagerly awaiting seeing their favorite idol playing the fascinating character of Aghora in the film, Akhanda 2. The film’s bookings are also going on a solid note, and it is set for an excellent opening on the first day.

Another Hurdle for Akhanda 2: High Court Cancels Ticket Hike GO

0

It looks like Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2: Thaandavam has to clear one more obstacle for its theatrical release, as the Telangana High Court has cancelled the GO that allowed special shows and increased ticket prices for the film.

The High Court has cancelled the government order (GO) that permitted increased ticket prices for the special shows of Akhanda 2 after receiving a lawsuit. If we remember, a similar situation occurred with OG, where the GO was struck down at the last minute. However, the producers of OG chose to file an appeal.

Despite the legal setback, OG premieres went ahead as planned, and the ticket price hikes continued for the allotted days before the court finally intervened and halted them.

Now, the producers of the Akhanda sequel should also go down the same route, as the bookings have already opened and tickets have been sold at hiked prices, and cancelling them at this time is practically not possible.

Annagaru Vostaru Postponed

0

As expected, Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar (Annagaru Vostaru) has been postponed from its December 12th release, and it will not be released in theaters tomorrow due to unresolved financial issues. This was always coming, given the uncertain circumstances of the makers.

It is being said that the film is likely to be released on 13th December instead of 12th December, but it is not yet confirmed, and we will have to wait for the official announcement from the team.

Reports suggest that Vaa Vaathiyaar’s producers are yet to repay the pending amount of Rs 21 crore to their financier, and the case remains unresolved in court. The Madras High Court has put a hold on the film, Vaa Vaathiyar’s release, and it stands postponed until the financial matters are resolved. Nalan Kumarasamy directs the film, starring Karthi, Rajkiran, Krithy Shetty, and others.

December Month Turns Unlucky For Tamil Cinema

Along with Vaa Vaathiyaar, Pradeep Ranganathan and Vignesh Shivan’s Love Insurance Kompany was also postponed this month, much to the disappointment of fans. Now, they will have to find some sort of relief with Rajinikanth’s Padayappa, the iconic film, which is set to hit theaters again on December 12.
