0

Mythri Movie Makers are coming up with films with two of the most celebrated actors of Telugu cinema- Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. While Chiru will be seen in Waltair Veerayya in KS Ravindra’s direction, Balayya will star in NBK 107 under Gopichand Malineni’s direction.

While this is a great thing to be associated with such big projects, the production house has found itself in a great dilemma regarding these films’ release dates. Both Waltair Veerayya and NBK 107 are interested in Sankranti 2023 release and releasing both their movies at the same time is an unwise decision. Hence the production house is looking to prepone NBK 107 and looking for the 23rd December release.

Mythri Movies has informed the distributors that NBK107 will hit the screens on December 23 and Waltair Veerayya will release for Sankranthi. The production house tried to convince Balakrishna of the same. However, Balakrishna’s close circle has warned him against it and suggested he not miss Sankranti at any cost.

Balakrishna has been made aware of the fact that NBK 107 has got more craze than Mega154 and Dec 23 is a very bad release date. In addition to this, Balayya is on a winning streak with Akhanda being a super hit. Chiranjeevi, on the other hand, is not in a great phase with first Acharya and now Godfather failing at the box office.

Amidst these developments, Balakrishna has strongly informed the same to Mythri and warned that his movie should come to Sankranthi only at any cost.

Megastar Chiranjeevi has said in public that Acharya’s failure belongs to Koratala Siva. He also added that Koratala didn’t use any of his suggestions while Mohan Raja used all his inputs.

Now with such public statements, Chiranjeevi is caught in a tricky situation. He is desperate to project the film as a blockbuster despite the numbers being extremely poor. The movie has not even crossed Rs 50Cr share mark In 1st week and is now struggling to get the shares.

The makers are saying that they did not sell the film so the movie is a blockbuster. Another logic brought up by the team is that every hero has a specific market and if the movie reaches the minimum collections of their market, then it automatically attains hit status.

This logic is quite questionable and many are asking in what way is a Rs 50Cr share for Tier someone like Megastar Chiranjeevi be declared a blockbuster film. After the debacle of Acharya, Chiranjeevi pinned a lot of hopes on this political drama. As mentioned many times during promotions, Chiranjeevi’s Godfather is a more commercialized version of Mohanlal’s Malayalam Blockbuster ‘Lucifer’.
