0

Megastar Chiranjeevi and Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s Acharya has taken a severe beating at the box office. The film released on 29th April amidst mostly negative reviews and extremely low buzz. Even on the first day, Acharya saw terrible occupancies and it noticed severe drops on the second day with the trend continuing on following days as well.

The film ended up being the biggest disaster in Tollywood and the makers and Koratala Siva have promised that they will compensate for the losses. The makers had promised that they will arrange a meeting soon to fix a compensation amount.

Despite such a delay, there is no update about this meeting and buyers are still waiting for clarity. All buyers are asking for 50% of rights as compensation as they recovered only 15%-25% of the rights.

The movie was released amidst mostly negative reviews with many terming it the weakest movie by Koratala Siva so far. Acharya’s outdated storyline and subpar screenplay ended up being its biggest drawbacks. Pooja Hegde, Sonu Sood, and Jishu Sengupta featured in prominent roles. Konidela Production Company and Matinee Entertainment bankrolled this ambitious project.

Pawan Kalyan regretting signing a big-budget film like Hari Hara Veera Mallu

0

For the last couple of years, Pawan Kalyan has adopted a strategy that’s focused on finishing projects in quick time. He is doing safe projects and remakes with proven stories that can be a profitable venture for everyone. With his next project Hari Hara Veera Mallu under Krish’s direction, he has slightly changed his strategy. But it seems to be backfiring at the moment.

Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak gave decent returns to the producer and they refunded the buyers who has lost the amount as well. Even remuneration wise both the movies were quite satisfying for Pawan Kalyan. After a series of smaller films, Powerstar has now signed a big pan India project Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The shooting is going on at the moment and the ‘Bheemla Nayak’ actor is putting up great efforts for the film.

But all is not well according to industry circles. Reportedly, Powerstar is now regretting signing this project. The budget has already gone out of control and its making the situation quite tense for the makers. The producers have to release the movie with a deficit. Adding to this, the working days of Pawan Kalyan have now doubled up compared to his previous few films.

Due to these issues, Pawan is not happy Krish and his planning as well as execution. Krish is reportedly failing in delivering what he promised before the movie went on sets. Powerstar had planned of doing quick films but Hari Hara Veera Mallu is going in another way.

Prashanth Neel had earlier stated that the fans will witness a never-before like Prabhas on the big screen. Even the producers Hombale Films are leaving no expense to ensure the movie looks grand and action sequences looks terrific.

Speaking about the movie, producer Vijay Kirgandur has promised that the combination of Neel and Prabhas will deliver an extraordinary output.

“We set the bar very high for Salaar. We have Prabhas, India’s No. 1 film Baahubali Hero along with No.2 film KGF director Prashanth Neel,” said Vijay about the exciting combination.

“The combination has created buzz and we set the bar so high, will try our best and achieve something big with Salaar The Saga,” he added.

There were rumours about a two-part release for quite some time. And now these rumours have been confirmed by the producer himself. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Prabhas in an out-and-out commercial and action role.

Mega Family Fans Are Jealous Of Allu Arjun Stardom

0

There is no denying that among the Mega family, Allu Arjun has developed a die-hard fanbase for himself among the masses. With his unique script selection, characterization, charisma, and style, he has carved out a unique fanbase.

But one cannot simply ignore the massive advantage he had, especially in his early days. Allu Arjun received a lot of support from Megastar Chiranjeevi and father, Allu Aravind. But there is only little that a forward push can do. After a point, it is only the actor’s own hard work that matters.

Allu Arjun slowly and steadily increased his fanbase with continuous blockbusters and hits like Julayi, Race Gurram, and so on. But it was only after Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Pushpa: The Rise that the stylish star received nationwide acclaim.

There is absolutely no doubt that Allu Arjun is ahead of all the Mega Family actors like Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and Chiranjeevi right now. This fact has come as a hard pill to digest for a lot of mega fans. They wanted Pawan Kalyan or Ram Charan to hold the torch from the Mega Family.

Now the fans have started avoiding Allu Arjun from the Mega family but it won’t make much of a difference for the star.

To conclude, Sai Pallavi said that more than the comfort factor, I am not even interested in such songs. “I will not sell my soul and character for such songs”, she ended.

Coming to her professional life, Sai Pallavi has very recently signed a crazy project under Kamal Haasan’s banner, Raaj Kamal Films International. Apart from her, the film stars Sivakarthikyan in the lead role.
