The opposition party leaders, like KTR, raised this point and used it to attack Revanth Reddy. Thereafter, unfortunately, a stampede happened during the premiere show of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre, RTC X Roads.

0

The Telugu audiences were excited when Rana and Venkatesh Daggubati joined for a web series named Rana Naidu. The first season received huge viewership along with negative response, and the Telugu audience’s interest dips for Rana Naidu 2.

In the OTT era, web content carries a huge demand, as the viewers are highly engaged and interested in watching web series and other content. The Telugu viewers also got accustomed to watching the OTT content. 

Rana Naidu Season 2 fails to excite Telugu Audiences

As said above, a huge anticipation was there among Telugu fans before the streaming of Rana Naidu Season 1, but after its arrival, it received huge viewership but received harsh criticism from Telugu audiences, and even Venkatesh faced the heat for acting in it.

The second season of the web series was released yesterday, but somehow the Telugu audience’s interest dips for Rana Daggubati’s Rana Naidu 2, as they did not show much interest in watching it. The anticipation among the Telugu Cinema fans and OTT viewers for season 2 is comparatively low. 

Rana Naidu Season 2 receives average reviews, much like its predecessor

This is due to the result of season 1, as it was not enjoyed by the traditional fanbase of Venkatesh, and it did not end with a strong lead for the second season.

The second season of Rana Naidu also received average reviews from most critics, which also adds another factor to Telugu audiences not showing interest in watching it.

Supreme Court Steps In Over Alleged Threats to Thug Life Screening in Karnataka

0

It is widely known that Thug Life, the latest film of Kamal Haasan, faced a ban in Karnataka because of a controversial statement of the actor. Now, the Supreme Court steps in and responds to the alleged threats to Thug Life screening in Karnataka.

On Friday, June 13, the Supreme Court told the State of Karnataka to respond to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that questions the ‘extra-judicial ban’ on screening the Tamil movie Thug Life, featuring Kamal Haasan and directed by Mani Ratnam.

A bench comprising Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Manmohan posted the petition, filed by one Mahesh Reddy, for next Tuesday. The Supreme Court steps in and responds to the alleged threats to the Thug Life screening in Karnataka.

The petitioner’s lawyer argued that Karnataka has surrendered to extremists targeting linguistic minorities and demanding theater burnings if Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life gets screened.

“It is argued that a duly CBFC-certified Tamil feature film, “Thug Life,” is not allowed to be screened in the theaters in the State of Karnataka. The so-called ban under threat of violence stems not from any lawful process but from a deliberate campaign of terror, including explicit threats of arson against cinema halls and incitement of large-scale violence targeting linguistic minorities. Considering the urgency shown and the issue brought before this court, we issue notice to the respondent,” the bench observed in the order.

Thug Life Ban in Karnataka: Kamal Haasan seeked the help of Court earlier

On June 9, Advocate Navpreet Kaur, representing the petitioner, highlighted the urgent need for listing due to the ‘law and order situation in Karnataka.’ 

“Fringe elements and organizations are giving an open threat to set the theaters on fire if they display a Tamil movie. Such is the intensity of the threats…we are here seeking protection for cinemas and theaters,” the counsel submitted.

Nowadays, re-releases are helping the theaters to bring in a decent number of audiences, and the single screens are mainly getting good footfalls. This week, there are two major rereleases, and Andala Rakshasi dominates Pawan Kalyan’s Tholi Prema in the re-release battle.

This weekend should have been a big festival for audiences, as Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu was announced to arrive on June 12th. However, the film was postponed at the last minute, and it resulted in a dry weekend.

Andala Rakshasi emerges as the winner this weekend at the theaters. The main advantage for this film is that it is getting re-released for the first time, whereas Tholiprema has been re-released multiple times.
