The buzz around the debut of Nandamuri Mokshagna, the son of Nandamuri Balakrishna, has been doing the rounds for a few years in the Telugu film industry. It was said that HanuMan director Prasanth Varma would direct Mokshu’s debut, but the latest news is that Mokshagna’s debut has a director change.

Mokshagna was to make his debut in PVCU (Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe), and the official announcement was also made about it. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the film’s launch did not happen.

Prasanth Varma will not direct Mokshagna’s Debut Film

Retro Falls Short of 100 Cr Club

0

Suriya’s latest film, Retro, released in theaters on May 1 and failed to impress audiences. The fans who waited for a big theatrical comeback from their favorite star have to wait for a more time to experience it. Retro falls short of the 100 Cr Club.

As said above, for a long time, the fans of the Ghajini actor wanted him to make a good comeback and thought that Retro would be that one film, but it failed to impress audiences. The film did lower than Kanguva at the worldwide box office.

Suriya’s Retro fails to cross the 100 Cr mark

Kanguva somehow managed to go past the 100 Cr mark, whereas Retro is closing under 100 Cr. Till Monday, 12th May, the Karthik Subbaraj directorial has collected 48.5 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, 22 Cr gross in the rest of India, and 24.5 Cr gross overseas, which takes the total gross to 95 Cr, which is almost the closing number for the film.

Suriya’s Retro falls short of the 100 Cr Club, and the film was made on a reasonable budget and fetched good non-theatrical deals. Because of that, it did not end up as a big loss venture like Kanguva. 

Suriya needs to make a massive comeback

But for the market of Suriya, trade considers it as bad revenue, as other competitors’ films are doing 250-300 Cr and even 400 Cr, but Suriya’s recent films are struggling for 100 Cr itself. 

Suriya needs to make a big comeback. His next film with RJ Balaji is scheduled for release this October, while the Venky Atluri film is slated for a summer 2026 release.
