Venkatesh’s Film Doing Good Business, Impacting Other Releases

Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming film is shaping up to be the perfect Sankranti treat, and it could very well pose stiff competition for other big releases like Game Changer and NBK109 (tentatively titled Daaku Maharaj). With Venkatesh’s unbeatable fan base and Anil Ravipudi’s proven track record for crafting family-friendly blockbusters, this film is generating massive excitement among audiences.

Both Game Changer, led by Ram Charan, and NBK109 starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, bring their own style and star power to the festive season. However, the Venkatesh-Ravipudi film has its own ace up its sleeve—a mix of humor, emotion, and the family-centric elements that have traditionally been Sankranti favorites.

Given the response from buyers, with Andhra region rights quoted at 25 crore and worldwide theatrical rights aiming for nearly 60 crore, the film’s business potential speaks volumes.

With all three films gearing up for a blockbuster clash, Venkatesh’s movie could very well dominate the family audience segment and become the season’s ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Sankranti 2025 is shaping up to be an epic festival for Telugu cinema lovers, and all eyes will be on Venkatesh to see if he can once again charm his way to the top!

Rana’s Immature Comments at IIFA

During the IIFA Awards, Rana Daggubati stirred controversy with several satirical comments targeting notable stars and recent films, which didn’t sit well with fans. In one instance, he directly referenced Ravi Teja’s recent film Mr. Bachchan, stating “this year he witnessed Bachchan sirs highest highs and lowest lows.” When co-host Teja asked if Kalki was the “high,” Rana appeared to imply that the “low” was Ravi Teja’s latest movie, though Teja interrupted him before he could finish. Fans quickly caught on, interpreting this as a jab at Mr. Bachchan.

Rana also made satirical comments on Maa Vishnu and the MAA association, as well as OM Raut’s emotional statement about reserving a seat for Hanuman in every theater for Adipurush, which definitely did not go over well with everyone.

Rana also commented on Pushpa 2, calling it “Pushpa Too Late” due to its repeated delays. Additionally, Rana brought up a comparison between Teja and Mahesh Babu, referring to both as former child artists, but humorously labeling one as a “superstar” and the other a “superhero.”

He further commented on their Sankranti releases, alluding to the previous Sankranti season when Mahesh’s ‘Guntur Kaaram’ received mixed reviews while Teja’s ‘Hanuman’ became an industry hit. Rana’s comments have fueled an online frenzy, with fans of various stars engaging in heated debates. Though satire is often part of award shows, many felt his remarks went too far, leading to significant backlash across social media platforms.

Pushpa 2 US Premier Sales Surpass Pushpa

Pushpa 1 had a rather average opening and closing business in America. During its premiers, the film could collect just around $550K and the closing of this Sukumar- Allu Arjun film was around $2.5M. This was not up to expectations especially considering the director-actor combo and the kind of hype Pushpa: The Rise had.

Fortunately for the makers, Pushpa 2 bookings that opened recently are doing amazing numbers and have already crossed the prequel’s premier numbers. The pre-sales have crossed $500K already, and as per projections, they will surpass Pushpa 1 closing figures in a matter of days. This shows the huge difference between Pushpa 1 and Pushpa 2 in terms of craze and anticipation.

Looking at the current trends, this Allu Arjun- Rashmika starrer might even go for a record $5 million premiere. If word of mouth is positive, there is definitely a high chance of this Sukumar film beating Baahubali 2’s numbers here. The breakeven itself is $15M in America, and now it all depends on early talk and reviews.

The film is in the final leg of its shooting and has exactly one month to go before its release. A special song with Sree Leela will mark the film’s wrap-up, and promotions are planned soon. All eyes are now on the Pushpa 2 trailer, and if the trailer manages to hit the right chord, then the sky is the limit.

Prashant Neel apologises for Salaar vs Dunki clash

Box-office clashes may be an exciting affair for the fans but for trade circles, it can turn out to be a big headache. This situation becomes even more problematic when the clash is between two A-listers and the biggest stars of their industries. Something similar happened last year in December when Prashant Neel’s Salaar clashed with Raj Kumar Hirani’s Dunki.

While Salaar featured Prabhas, Dunki had Bollywood Badshah Shahrukh Khan and the clashe between the two stars made it a mouth-watering box-office clash. In a recent interview, Prashant Neel has come forward and expressed regret over the clash. Many believed this could have been avoided and helped both movies achieve better box-office numbers.

Prashant Neel in the interaction said that,”They (Shahrukh Khan and Raj Kumar Hirani) are colossal and they had announced Dunki release date more than a year in advance. My apologies to the entire Dunki team for the clash but we had to go with the same release date due to astrological reasons which Vijay sir (producer) believed in.”

While it is almost close to a year since this clash, Prashant Neel speaking about it now makes one thing clear- No one enjoys clashing at the box-office as clashes could often translate into lower returns and the films not reaching their true box-office potential.

Actress Kasthuri lands in a controversy

Actress Kasthuri is a popular actress in both Kollywood and Tollywood. She has now landed herself in a controversy by making derogatory comments against Telugu people. Her comments have gone viral on social media and she has also been facing heavy trolling since then.

Kasthuri attended an event where she said that Brahmins were being targeted in Tamil Nadu by few people by citing them as foreigners. She went ahead and compared Telugu People also as foreigners who came to Tamil Nadu years ago. She opined that Telugu People haven’t been targeted just like Brahmins. These comments have become controversial after her speech. Many netizens took objection to her comments of comparing Telugu People as foreigners.

There were also calls to ban the Actress in Tollywood. However, the Actress conducted a press meet again to counter these trolling. She said that she didn’t mean to hurt Telugu people and applauded the Telugu Film Industry for providing many roles as well. But we need to see how this gets treated by Netizens.

Kanguva release trailer is crucial

Kanguva starring Suriya is scheduled for release on 14th November worldwide. The team has put high hopes on the success of the film. Promotional activities of the film have already kickstarted with the team members participating in many press meet and shows ahead of the release. Now, Kanguva’s release trailer becomes very crucial for its fate.

The team has been continuously postponing the release trailer which is also affecting buzz for the film. The Overseas advance sales are also not picking the momentum due to this reason. They are still trending at a low level. Bookings for the film will be opened this weekend in all the territories.

Release trailer is expected to come out today and the runtime of the trailer is also said to be locked at 2 minutes and 37 seconds. This must work big to raise the buzz for the film. Songs of the film have already become decent chartbusters. So, the release trailer must be a final punch to the audience to decide the fate of Kanguva at the box office. If the film secures a positive talk then we can expect a big result as well.
