NTR and Prashanth Neel to Create Another Universe

Prashanth Neel has created two universes till now; one is KGF, and the other is Salaar. It is widely known that he has announced a film with NTR, and the exciting news is that Prashanth Neel is creating another universe with him. 

In the KGF universe, two parts were already released, and the 3rd part was announced at the end of the second film with a high lead. Coming to the Salaar Franchise, Part 1 has been released and gave a lead for the 2nd part with a high cliffhanger.

NTR – Prashanth Neel’s film was not announced as a franchise film, and the team planned it as a single part. But now the span of the film is said to be too long to make it into one part, and it is likely to be a two-part film.

So, it means Prashanth Neel is creating another universe with NTR as well, which certainly will increase the excitement among fans.

Baahubali: The Epic Join Million Dollar Club Overseas

Even for many tier-2 new releases, still achieving a million dollars overseas is a tough task, but Rajamouli’s masterpiece, Baahubali: The Epic, a re-released film, shocks everyone as it enters the Million Dollar Club Overseas.

At this time, a re-release grossing a million dollars overseas is definitely an unbelievable milestone, and Baahubali: The Epic does it. The film has collected more than a million overseas on its 1st weekend, with a 1st weekend gross of around 10 Cr.

In India, the film has collected around 26 Cr-27Cr gross, taking the overall 1st weekend gross to around 37 Cr, marking the biggest weekend for any re-released film.

Sanam Teri Kasam is the biggest re-release grosser in India with around 40 Cr gross. Baahubali: The epic has collected around 26 Cr – 27 Cr gross in India on its 1st weekend. It needs another 14-15 Cr gross to achieve the record milestone.

They Call Him OG Recensored for TV – 10 Minutes Trimmed

After having a decent run in the theaters, Pawan Kalyan’s “They Call Him OG” is getting a good response on OTT, and the latest news is that the film has been recensored for television telecast to obtain a U/A certificate.  

Around 10 minutes have been trimmed from the original version. The theatrical version had a runtime of 154 minutes and 15 seconds with an A certificate, while the re-censored version had a runtime of 143 minutes and 52 seconds with a U/A certificate.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG is not the first movie to get re-censored for TV. Recently, Rajinikanth’s Coolie also did the same and premiered a slightly different version from the theatrical version.

There is no official confirmation about the television partner for OG, and we need to see on which channel it will have its premiere.

Siddharth Anand Targets Sandeep Reddy Vanga?

Bollywood director Siddharth Anand shared a picture with Shah Rukh Khan on his social media account, which triggered a big controversy as it felt like an indirect dig at Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

On Prabhas’s birthday, Sandeep released an audio teaser for his new film Spirit featuring the actor and labeled him as India’s Biggest Superstar at the conclusion.

Since then, Bollywood fans and social media have been going after Sandeep Vanga, and it looks like director Siddarth Anand has jumped on the bandwagon too.

As mentioned above, Siddharth Anand shared a picture with Shah Rukh Khan online and said, “When stars go beyond being ‘just a superstar,’ they are called King”, which looked like an indirect satire on Sandeep Vanga’s “India’s Biggest Superstar” tag for Prabhas in Spirit’s glimpse.

It looks like many people in Bollywood consider Sandeep Vanga to be a nightmare; they really can’t stand him and love to criticize what he says and makes.

Vanga shattered several norms in filmmaking and came out with massive blockbusters like Kabir Singh and Animal in Bollywood, but that rubbed a lot of people in the Hindi industry the wrong way.

Prabhas Walks Out of Prasanth Varma Project?

Pan-Indian star Prabhas had earlier committed to a project with HanuMan director Prasanth Varma, which was officially confirmed by the director himself. However, the film seems to be facing a big roadblock now.

According to industry reports, a photoshoot for the film had also taken place a few months ago. However, the latest buzz suggests that the movie has been cancelled due to Prabhas’s other work commitments, and the actor has reportedly walked out of the project.

Prabhas is currently one of the busiest actors in Indian cinema. He is shooting for two major films — The Raja Saab and Fauji. After completing these, he is expected to move on to Spirit, followed by Kalki 2 and Salaar 2.

Interestingly, both Fauji and The Raja Saab are said to be franchise films, which means the Baahubali star will remain occupied for the next few years, making it difficult for him to take on any new projects soon.

There are also reports suggesting that there might be other reasons behind Prabhas opting out of Prasanth Varma’s film.

Unfortunately, Prasanth Varma’s recent projects seem to be facing a streak of cancellations. He had earlier started a film with Ranveer Singh, which was shelved soon after. Later, his collaboration with Balakrishna’s son, Mokshagna, was also called off. Now, if the rumours are true, even the Prabhas project has met the same fate.

For now, Prasanth Varma is expected to focus on his next ambitious venture, Jai Hanuman, and fans are eagerly waiting to see when the film will officially begin.
