Chatrapathi Remake was a mistake – Says Bellamkonda Sreenivas

0

Bellamkonda Sreenivas is all set to arrive with his next film, Bhairavam. It is widely known that the actor remade the Telugu blockbuster Chatrapati in Hindi, which miserably failed at the box office. Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake.

During a promotional interview for Bhairavam, Sreenivas opened up about remaking Prabhas and Rajamouli’s blockbuster Chatrapathi in Hindi. He cited the examples of Telugu actors like Rana and Charan who worked in Bollywood. 

The Alludu Seenu actor thought Charan’s Zanjeer didn’t work because it was a remake of a Hindi film. Producer Jayantilal Gada Garu told Srinivas that mother emotion and stepbrother emotion will always work in the Hindi belt, and the actor also thought people there wouldn’t have watched Chatrapathi.

Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake, and he believed that Rajamouli’s strong emotions would be liked by Hindi audiences. “Due to COVID, the audience’s taste changed completely. I was in a dilemma during the shooting stage, which is why I didn’t give my 100%. I shouldn’t have remade such an iconic film,” said Sreenivas.

Meanwhile, Bhairavam, directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, also stars Nara Rohit and Manchu Manoj in crucial roles. The team is currently taking part in promotional interviews for the film.

The last proper blockbuster from Pawan Kalyan is Attarintiki Daredi, which was released in 2013 and became an industry hit. After that, films like Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Nayak received positive reviews, but did not get the desired result. It seems like Pawan Kalyan has no luck at the box office. 

After AD, PK released films like Gopala Gopala, Vakeel Saab, and Bheemla Nayak, which emerged as above average at the box office and did not perform up to the expected level.

Pawan Kalyan’s Hard Luck at the Box Office

Somehow Pawan Kalyan is lacking luck at the box office. Vakeel Saab opened massively at the box office and opened with positive reviews, but sadly, it faced a big corona attack during the 2nd week itself, as the second wave of COVID-19 started at the film’s release time.

Even Bheemla Nayak also opened with positive WOM and reviews, but due to low ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh, the film was affected. Both films could have been 100 Cr share films if they were released in normal scenarios.

Theatre managements in Telugu States have been facing tough times in recent times, with no big run at the box office. Few films that managed to secure positive talk and word of mouth are struggling to pull the audience to the theatres after the first weekend. In a month, theatres are running in deficits for most days. The Theatre managements of Telugu States have decided to shut the theatres from June 1st regarding this incident.

They put a demand to give a percentage basis instead of the current rental basis system. But it is learnt that the Producers are not willing for this, creating a conflict. The Theatre Owners have conducted a meeting today and are learnt to have decided to close the theatres, as said above.
