Ishq (Not a Love Story) trailer launched

0

The trailer of Teja Sajja and Priya Prakash Varrier’s Ishq(Not a Love Story) dropped in a while back. The trailer starts on a softer romantic note but takes a darker turn towards the end. A remake of Malayalam film of the same name, Ishq would look to replicate the success of its original which was a massive hit due to its gripping screenplay.

Teja Sajja who recently made his impressive debut with Zombie Reddy has made another impressive script selection and would look to continue with his streak. Priya Prakash Varrier looks good in her role and the pair looks great together.

The BGM of the trailer is definitely the highlight. Mahati Swara Sagar has done a tremendous job of dealing with the different moods of the trailer. The film, directed by SS Raju will hit the screens on 23rd April.

Prabhas’ Adipurush, whose shooting is going on in Mumbai has faced a stoppage in shoot due to the second wave of Corona cases. As the 2nd wave of coronavirus has hit Maharashtra massively, the state government has decided to stop the shooting of all tv serials, reality shows, and movies. This order from the government has impacted Prabhas’ Adipurush shoot as well.

The movie, being shot on a massive budget involves a huge crew as well and this might be a huge risk factor. Hence, the government saw it best to stop the shoots at once. Adipurush is a mythological drama based on Ramayan and is being directed by Om Raut. Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunny Singh also star in this mega-budget movie.

Koratala Siva, who is going to direct the prestigious NTR30 after Acharya is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the project gets heavy buzz. It is being reported that he is planning to bring in Kiara Advani as the female lead opposite NTR for this movie.

It was Koratala who had introduced Kiara to Tollywood through the 2018 super hit Bharat Ane Nenu. Post the success of the movie, Kiara was flooded with offers both in Tollywood as well as Bollywood. She will be next seen in Bollywood big-ticket films such as SherShah and Bhool Bhulaiyya 2.

Despite having acted in only a couple of Telugu films, Kiara boasts of a substantial fanbase in Tollywood. Mikkilneni Sudhakar and Kalyan Ram are going to produce the project.

Distributors planning to close theatres

0

Owing to the recent slabs put on the ticket prices, all of ‘B’ and ‘C’ centre theatres have decided to close theatres across East Godavari district from 16th of this month. A decision on ‘A’ centre theatres will be taken soon. Recently a G.O. was issued placing a slab on the ticket prices on theatres in AP. These theatres were divided into Municipal Corporations, Municipality, Nagar Panchayat, and Gram Panchayat. In fact, the ticket prices in Gram Panchayat have been set as low as Rs 20/-.

This is turning out to be the biggest issue for the distributors. If this situation continues for a while and no amicable agreement is done between the government and distributors, there is a chance of no more new releases for quite some time along with theatres shutting down.

This year, Tollywood is going to witness a number of big-ticket films. The producers and distributors are really counting on them to pull them out of the lean patch brought in by lockdown last year. However, with this G.O., a number of Tollywood biggies will have to struggle really hard to recover their investment with the government-established ticket prices.

0

Pawan Kalyan starrer Vakeel Saab has opened to great reviews and positive word of mouth. The movie is doing well at the box office. Pawan Kalyan’s performance has been well appreciated by all with many even calling it the finest of his career. The movie also turned out to be the biggest opening in Indian cinema post lockdown.

Amazon Prime has grabbed the digital rights of the movie. With the movie performing exceptionally well at the theatres, the digital premiere of the movie might take at least 50 days. This means the movie might release on the OTT towards May end. The movie directed by Venu Sriram has packed enough punches along with the underlying message.

Bankrolled under Sri Venkateswara Creations by Dil Raju, the movie is garnering great applause for Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj’s performance. SS Thaman’s background score has also added great value to the film.

Radhe Shyam to be reshot?

0

With Radhe Shyam nearing the end of its shoot, makers have decided to redo some shots. Apparently, Prabhas after watching the rushes didn’t seem happy with the output. He suggested a reshoot of few scenes in order to get a better feel and quality output on-screen.

According to a source, “Prabhas wanted to better his expressions in certain scenes, and felt that if they are reshot, it would certainly help in enhancing the overall quality of the scenes and thus the film. He is all game to give a few more expressions for the shots. He is expected to come to Hyderabad on Thursday and, in all probabilities, resume shooting for the Radhakrishna-directorial.”

Another final decision infront of the makers is whether to include one more song in the film or not. The distributors apparently feel that adding a visually appealing song would add value to the movie. Reportedly Prabhas too has agreed to this view and a song will mostly be added to blend into the narrative of the movie.

Sharwanand starrer Sreekaram that released last month on 11th is all set to stream on SunNxt from 16th April. Sreekaram, directed by Kishore B sheds light on the plight of farmers and their struggles.

The movie failed to impress the audience and didn’t perform too well at the box office. Critics panned the film for being another run-of-a-mill film on farming that didn’t showcase any new element.

Starring Priyanka Arul Mohan and Sai Kumar in key roles, the film turned out to be a disaster. Almost all the areas recorded losses for the makers. The dialogues were penned by Sai Madhav Burra and Mickey J Meyer composed music for the film. It was bankrolled by 14 Reels Plus studio by Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta.
