Balakrishna contacted me for Akhanda, says Perni Nani

AP I&PR Minister Perni Nani has been in continuous headlines for the past one year. He has been a part of several meetings on tickets issue and has made a number of controversial statements. Now the minister has made another sensational statement about the Akhanda producers and in particular on Balakrishna.

“I was earlier contacted by Akhanda producers through various businessmen and Nuzividu MLA. They wanted to meet me and discuss the tickets issue. Despite this being their requirement, they offered me a few time slots and said they would like to discuss during these times,” said Nani who claimed that he complied to their request.

“Later I received a call after much delay from Balakrishna himself who requested for an appointment of YS Jaganmohan Reddy,” revealed the minister. The CM said that this meeting would unnecessarily bring bad publicity for Balakrishna and instead directed to resolve their issue without any meeting.

This is a startling revelation from Perni Nani is quite a shock to many. Balakrishna has claimed that Akhanda didn’t need any government intervention. Balkrishna had also stated in the past that Akhanda became a blockbuster despite the existing ticket prices.

“Balakrishna pointed out that Akhanda was a massive success despite the tickets issue. He further added that he won’t meet Jagan even if his movie has exceeded the budget. Akhanda ran successfully even with these low rates and the only time he would meet the CM would be for the sake of his constituency and not for his films,” Balayya had famously said a few weeks ago.

Did Tollywood find the new marketing strategy ?

Seems like Tollywood has figured out a new marketing strategy. Releasing lyrical videos is the ongoing trend that’s been following recently. Coming to star hero’s songs, fans expect more than just a video and that’s the reason the makers are adding a dance moves of those stars. We all have witnessed the buzz created by pushpa’s hook step. Not only tollywood but it went places to Kollywood, Bollywood and even our cricketers made reels on that which made everyone talk about Pushpa.

And then comes the Superstar Mahesh’s Kalavathi song from Sarkaru Vari Paata. The hook step by Mahesh is the new talk of the town. Though the tune, lyrics, singing and music is top notch, it’s the Mahesh’s hook step that’s been talked much and took Kalavathi to next level. Most of the celebrities are dancing for that line and posting videos. So the number of views itself is the evidence that the marketing strategy is working out. So let’s wait and see how long this trend goes….

CBN and Nara Lokesh comments on Bheemla Nayak ticket prices

The situation in AP is known to all; the ticket prices and delayed passing of a new G.O are some tactics being played by the ruling government to attack Pawan Kalyan. Amidst these petty political moves, Bheemla Nayak has found unlikely support from TDP President and former AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and son Lokesh. CBN, in particular, was quite critical of the YCP government’s atrocities

Bheemla Nayak euphoria has engulfed Tollywood and fans all over the world are celebrating this much-awaited Pawan Kalyan starrer. However, ticket prices in AP is expected to put a dent in the overall collection as it happened in case of Pushpa.

CBN attacked the YCP government and said that Jagan is not leaving any industry in the state. He even compared Jagan’s treatment of Bheemla Nayak with government-aided. terrorism.

Nara Lokesh also accused the AP CM of trying to turn the state into a ‘begging bowl’. He also wished the movie emerges triumphant and overcomes conspiracies.

Bheemla Nayak is garnering great support from movie lovers and the reviews also have been quite encouraging. In such a situation, little support from the AP government would have done a world of good for Tollywood. However, the ego of one man triumphed over the overall welfare of hundreds.

Bheemla Nayak Review: Mass feast for cinema lovers and fans

Movie: Bheemla Nayak
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Rana Daggubati, Nithya Menen, Murali Sharma, Samyuktha Menon
Director: Sagar. K. Chandra
Produced By: Sithara Entertainments
Release Date: February 25th, 2022

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is finally back in front of the audience as a powerful cop with Bheemla Nayak. This action entertainer has faced countless hurdles and delays before its release. Fans over the past few months have waited with bated breath to see Pawan and Rana going all guns blazing at each other. During the promotions, both Trivikram and Naga Vamsi promised the fans a mass feast. Have the makers delivered on their promise? Will the audience get to witness vintage Pawan Kalyan? Let’s find out.

Story: Bheemla Nayak is a dynamic cop in a tribal forest area of Andhra Pradesh. His life takes a massive turn with the entry of Daniel Sekhar (Rana) a retired military man with political ambitions. Danny gets into trouble with the law in Bheemla’s jurisdiction and here starts a game of fire and a clash of egos. Both Danny and Bheemla are at each other’s throats vowing to destroy each other. What happens next over the next couple of hours and how Bheemla and Danny have a go at each other.

Performances: Pawan Kalyan and uniform is a combination that has always carried a great potential. Pawan’s performance is quite energetic at the same time quite mature and settled. The way he carries Bheemla Nayak’s inner turmoil effectively onscreen in truly applause-worthy. Rana on the other hand is playing the brash and unapologetic Danny and has given his career-best performance so far. The devil may care attitude has been portrayed brilliantly by the actor and he plays a perfect nemesis for Bheemla. It is quite tough to imagine anyone else playing Danny. Nithya Menen has got a meaty role and as always does full justice to her character in a story about male egos and their imminent clash. Samyuktha Menon has made a fine debut and is the one to watch out for in the future. Murali Sharma and Smuthrikani are dependable as always and are perfectly cast.

Analysis: Bheemla Nayak is a superb commercial adaptation of a 3-hour long Ayyappanum Koshiyum trimmed to 2 hours 20 minutes. The film has all the elements to get the masses charged from the first minute. Sagar K Chandra and Trivikram have taken special care to infuse commercial elements into the plot and remove certain songs and scenes from the original that were halting the flow of the film. Ravi K Chandran’s cinematography deserves special mention for capturing some stunning visuals and for portraying the mood of the film brilliantly. The fights although plenty, are a great asset to the film and look quite natural on-screen.

Plus Points:

  • Pawan Kalyan and Rana
  • Trivikram’s writing
  • Second Half
  • BGM and Elevation
  • Flashback

Minus Points:

  • First half
  • Songs on-screen picturization
  • Lag in some scenes
  • No emotional connect

Verdict: Overall, Bheemla Nayak is a more enjoyable adaptation of Sachy’s original story. The intensity and rivalry have been portrayed a few notches higher and add great value to the film. The movie is louder and faster than the and is the mass entertainer that fans were expecting from Powerstar for quite some time.

Balakrishna is on a signing spree after the massive success of Akhanda. Currently, Balayya is working on NBK107 with Gopichand Malineni. The first look of this project was released recently and garnered a great response.

The director has confirmed that this is going to be an action entertainer with mass elements to suit Balayya’s image. Gopichand Mallineni has done extensive research for the script. Shruti Haasan will play the female lead in this film.

After NBK107, there is a project with director Anil Ravipudi as well. Anil has narrated the complete script to Balakrishna who has okayed it. True to Balayya’s style, this movie is going to be an out-and-out mass action film. Anil Ravipudi is leaving no stone unturned to highlight its commercial elements and bring out the best.

‘This film will be different from all my previous movies and Balayya will be shown in a totally different avatar,’ said Anil Ravipudi in an interview.

Now there are reports emerging of another interesting combo. Reportedly, Koratala Siva is keen on a project with the ‘Akhanda’ star. The duo is currently in talks and if this project gets confirmed, it will indeed be a superb lineup for Balayya.

Poonam Kaur strong comments on Bheemla Nayak pre-release event

Bheemla Nayak pre-release event was undoubtedly a huge success. The event gained record viewership on YouTube and the social media was abuzz with Bheemla Nayak trending all over. The Yousufguda Police Grounds witnessed a grand spectacle that will be remembered for a long time. Meanwhile, actress Poonam Kaur like other social media users took to Twitter and made some strong comments about the event. In a cryptic manner, the actress first commented on the political flavour of the event.

“Politics turns entertaining, Entertainment turns political,” she tweeted.

https://twitter.com/poonamkaurlal/status/1496528004490862594

https://twitter.com/poonamkaurlal/status/1496711512039518208

This tweet was an attack on Trivikram as well. Trivikram chose to maintain a low profile during the entire event and restrained himself to one corner. Poonam, in past as well has been pretty vocal about her issues with Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram. While the duo has always maintained silence on statements from Poonam Kaur, it needs to be seen if RGV responds to this jibe or not.

Bheemla Nayak will release on 25th February. KTR and Talasani Srinivas Yadav along with cast and crew of the film were present at the event.

Direct satires on AP Government in Bheemla Nayak pre-release event

The Bheemla Nayak pre-release event turned out to be quite a celebration. The event saw the presence of political and Tollywood bigwigs. Naturally, with the presence of Pawan Kalyan and KTR along with Talasani Srinivas Yadav, the stage took a political turn.

“Telangana government supports the Telugu cinema industry in all aspects with special shows, ticket hikes being provided. We are ready to do anything for the cinema industry,” said the Telangana Cinematography minister Talasani Srinivasa Yadav.

This is in direct contrast to the condition in Andhra Pradesh. The government in AP is yet to issue a new G.O on updated ticket rates. The government officials in AP have also warned the exhibitors against hiking ticket prices. The authorities have also planned for special checks and have warned that violators will be punished.

“Thanks to KTR sir for all the support to the Telugu cinema, Hyderabad will soon become an Indian cinema capital,” said Rana at the Bheemla Nayak pre-release event. This statement from Rana comes rights after Jagan’s recent invitation to Tollywood heroes to start making movies is Vizag.

There was also a mashup played at the event that featured a bit from Gabbar Singh. “Vaadiki bayapadi moostara , Naaku Bayapadi teestara. Manalani evadra aapedi,” were the lyrics of the mashup.

Pawan Kalyan, who is one of the most vocal critics of the AP Government, focussed just on the film and thanked the Telangana government. “Wholehearted thanks to CM KCR and Telangana Government for understanding our problems and encouraging the Telugu Film Industry,” said the Powerstar.
