Bell Bottom results worry Tollywood biggies

0

Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited film Bell Bottom hit the screens last week and the results have been anything but desirable. The movie opened to below-par occupancies all over with some areas even reporting single-digit occupancies. The collections also have been quite disappointing for a release featuring an A-level star of Bollywood.

Bell Bottom’s sub-par reception has got makers of upcoming pan-India films worried. Films like RRR, Pushpa and KGF are some of the biggies that will be having a massive pan-India release.

With rising Covid cases and 50% occupancies still applicable in many states, releasing movies at the moment doesn’t look like a smart option. Adding to this, the chances of the upcoming 3rd wave are causing further concerns for the producers.

Pushpa is scheduled for Christmas 2021 release while KGF will release on 14th April 2022. SS Rajamouli’s RRR hasn’t locked a release date yet but would definitely a lot of discussions are on for a safe date. Presently, a lot of Bollywood biggies have also pushed their releases indefinitely while others are going for OTT releases.

0

Director Parasuram shot into the big league with the massive success of Geetha Govindam with Vijay Devarakonda. It was recently announced that he will be directing Naga Chaitanya next and the venture will be bankrolled by 14 Reels Plus. Billed as NC20, recently reports emerged that the movie has now been shelved as Parasuram is focussing on Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata.

The rumours of Naga Chaitanya film being shelved have become stronger after another buzz came out that Icon Star Allu Arjun has also okayed a script under Geeta Arts banner for the director. This lack of clarity from Parasuram’s side also angered Nagarjuna to great extent.

However, as per inside sources, the movie has not been shelved and is pretty much on. The real reason for Parasuram not going ahead with NC20 is that he is keen on directing Mahesh Babu. According to sources, the director got a green signal from Mahesh Babu following which he has decided to delaythe film he had prepared for Naga Chaitanya.

This delay could well be a blessing in disguise for Chaitu as presently he is working on Sekhar Kammula’s Love Stor which is carrying positive vibes. If Love Story becomes a big hit as it is expected to be, working with Parasuram who would be fresh out of a biggie like Sarkaru Vaari Paata would add great strength to NC20.

Parasuram- Naga Chaitanya film will go on floors post Sarkaru Vaari Paata and will be up for release in 2022.
