Will RRR release? All eyes on October

0

SS Rajamouli’s RRR is one of the most awaited films across the industries. The film’s recently released Dosti song has also created a great buzz for the film. Rajamouli has decided to wrap up the shoot at express pace and the movie unit is presently in Ukraine finishing up balance portions. The RRR release date however has created major problems for the unit.

With the shooting picking up great speed, the question of release date has once again come up. Currently, movie industries across India are picking up pace with theatres reopening and shoots going on well. This is good news for RRR which is a pan-India film and needs theatres to completely function in order to go for a release.

However, with the chances of a third wave of the pandemic looking high, the movie unit is in dilemma whether to announce the stipulated release date of 13th October or to wait out till the period gets over.

With RRR being a pan India film, it is crucial that theatres across India are functioning with complete occupancy in order for it to perform as per expectations.

Meanwhile, other Tollywood releases Acharya and Akhanda are also aiming for an October release. Both these films are aiming at only the Telugu market hence AP and Telangana theatres would suffice for their release. The makers of both these films are keeping an eye on October in case RRR release postpones.

All these movies are playing a wait and watch game before making any announcement and it needs to be seen who blinks first.

Allu Arjun’s PR team over-excitement backfired

0

The much-awaited update on Allu Arjun’s Pushpa release date came out yesterday and has given great energy to fans and movie lovers. After months of wait, finally, Tollywood biggies are going to hit the screens with Sarkaru Vaari Paata, PSPK-Rana film, and Radhe Shyam which will release soon after Pushpa.

Pushpa is set to release this Christmas and will clash with Bollywood biggie Lal Singh Chaddha and possibly KGF: Chapter 2 as well. While Allu Arjun and Fahadh have a sizable following in the south, Aamir Khan’s hold in the north and overseas can’t be denied. Ignoring this factor and undermining Aamir Khan’s stardom, Allu Arjun’s PR team has gone on an overdrive claiming Pushpa will beat Lal Singh Chaddha quite easily.

Such actions from his overzealous PR team will only hurt the credibility of the Icon Star who is riding on a career-high at the moment.

Another thing that has to be kept in mind is that Allu Arjun is entering the pan-India market for the first time. Barring Baahubali, no other film has successfully created records all over. On the other hand, Christmas has been Aamir Khan’s favorite season for over a decade. He has delivered blockbusters and Industry Hits such as Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Dangal, etc. during the Christmas season.

In such a situation, Allu Arjun’s PR team’s activities such as publishing fabricated articles will only damage the Icon Star’s image. Netizens have already started trolling the PR team for its over-zealous activities and for comparisons with Aamir Khan who is undeniably one of the topmost stars in India.
