Balakrishna’s Akhanda’s OTT and Television premiere details

Balakrishna’s Akhanda’s OTT and Television premiere dates have been fixed. While the movie will make its way to Television screens on February 27th, the OTT premiere will be held much earlier i.e. on January 12th.

Balakrishna’s Akhanda will premiere on Star Maa while Disney + Hotstar has acquired the movie rights for the digital premiere.

Akhanda was released on December 2nd worldwide and created a sensation at the box- office. Boyapati Srinu directed this film and it performed well at both domestic as well as overseas box-office.

Akhanda featured Srikanth as protagonist and Jagapathi Babu in a key role. Pragya Jaiswal co-starred as the female lead while SS Thaman delivered soulful music for this film. The film was bankrolled by Miryala Ravinder Reddy under Dwarka Creations Banner.

Thaman gives a strong counter to Nani

SS Thaman is one of the most reserved and calm-going people in Tollywood. The music director, however, minces no words when something is said against his craft or his work. Thaman took to Twitter a while ago and posted a couple of Tweets about how all the crafts combine together to make a film successful and how it’s never a single craft that ‘DOMINATES’ anything.

While this might just come across as a random Tweet, there is actually a lot of hidden meaning behind this statement made by the ‘Akhanda’ music director. His statement was directly targeted at Actor Nani.

Nani, during the promotions of Shyam Singha Roy stated that the music in his film like all other departments was quite equal in terms of importance, and neither did the music nor BGM dominate any other department.

“Music should elevate the movie and not dominate the film. All crafts such as music, BGM, cinematography should combine and work out well. Otherwise, movie will lack harmony,” said Nani.

This statement by Nani was perceived by many as a direct dig to Thaman’s work in Akhanda. Akhanda’s BGM was widely appreciated by many.

The tiff between Nani and Thaman is an old one. The ‘Natural Star’ apparently didn’t like Thaman’s work on Tuck Jagadish and reportedly had him replaced with Gopi Sundar. Thaman, however did compose 5 songs before walking out of the project and the BGM was composed by Gopi.

Following is the language wise RRR USA pre-sales booking update:

  • Telugu – $1,359,574
  • Tamil – $3,822

RRR has already crossed the $1.5 million mark with a few unreported and private screening numbers yet to come. The film has established an all-time record premier of Indian cinema with presales only.

The film is expected to have a massive opening domestically as well. The multiplex rates in Nizam are Rs 300/- and Rs 400/. The city single screens are priced at Rs 250/-, Rs 200/-, and Rs 70/- based on the type of theatres. The district prices are Rs 200/-, Rs 150/-, and Rs 70/-.

If all goes to plan RRR will demolish records at the box office that Pushpa established recently in Nizam. Additionally, RRR is also planning for paid premieres from 6th January at 9 PM, one day before release. If things go smoothly, they might also plan for 6 PM shows. The premieres will take place mainly in the two Telugu states, but also in some theatres in India.

Oke Oka Jeevitham Teaser: Entertaining Sci-Fi Drama

The teaser of Sharwanand’s Oke Oka Jeevitham is out now, and it promises an entertaining science-fiction drama. The movie is based on the concept of time travel. This is a concept that Telugu cinema has not explored to the fullest, and it will be interesting to see how this film turns out.

So far, the teaser looks highly promising. It helps that the teaser has been edited in a crisp manner to just tease the audience. Sharwanand, Priyadarsi, and Vennela Kishore travel back to their childhood using a time machine. Nasser plays the role of a mad scientist.

The VFX of the movie also looks impressive for the budget.

There also seem to be hints of comedy throughout the movie. This is obvious when you have the top two Telugu comedians in the movie.

The plot of the movie also favors entertaining situations to arise. For example, there is a rule that no one should know that the three are from the future. This could create hilarious situations.

This film is also a very crucial film for Sharwanand. His previous movies like Maha Samudhram and Sreekaram have been failures at the box office, and have also failed to impress the audience. Fans and the general audience will be hoping for this film to succeed.

Oke Oka Jeevitham also stars Amala Akkineni, Ritu Varma among others. Debutant director Shree Karthick has directed the film. Tharun Bhascker has written the dialogues for the film. The music is by Jakes Bejoy.

The film will release in both Telugu as well as Tamil. It is scheduled to release in 2022. Further announcements will be made very soon.

Karan Johar Praises Allu Arjun, Calls Him A Megastar

It is common knowledge that Allu Arjun is one of the biggest stars in the Telugu film industry. He has amassed a huge fanbase in the two Telugu states because of his acting, dancing, and stylish persona. But what is more interesting is his fanbase up north.

Karan Johar in a recent interview said that Allu Arjun is a massive star in the North. His dubbed movies do extremely well on Youtube, he added. He called Allu Arjun the Megastar of South.

For example, DJ(dubbed) has over 438M views on Youtube, the highest for a South Indian actor.

Karan Johar added that Pushpa went on to collect 3 crores on its opening day, without any marketing, purely due to Allu Arjun. He also added how even some huge Hindi films haven’t opened to 3 crores on the opening day.

To further prove his point, the Hindi version of Pushpa has now collected over 30+ crores at the box office, beating Salman Khan’s Antim as well. This is absolutely insane.

To analyze this, Karan Johar said that this is due to the massive satellite successes of these Hindi dubbed films. People who have watched the dubbed versions will go and watch the actor on the big screen.

This is a great point as we can see that this is the case even with Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, which had decent Hindi collections. This is again due to the Hindi dubbed movies of Chiranjeevi.

To end, Karan Johar also said that the South Indians have understood the scale of the market very well.

Karan is no stranger to Telugu cinema. He has previously produced Bahubali 2 and is now co-producing Vijay Devarakonda’s Liger.

Senapathi Trailer Promises An Engaging, Gritty Thriller

Senapthi is an upcoming Telugu original film by Aha. The trailer which was released on 29th December showcased Rajendra Prasad in a completely new light.

The trailer of Senapathi promises an engaging thriller. Rajendra Prasad plays a middle-aged man disguised as a cold-blooded criminal. The actor looks menacing as the cold-hearted Senapathi.

The editor of the Senapathi trailer deserves a special mention for his sharp editing. The trailer builds up curiosity without giving anything away.

From the looks of it, the film will be a chase between Senapathi, played by Rajendra Prasad, and a police officer, played by Naresh Agastya. The movie will also revolve around the concepts of greed, cheating, and money.

The background music by Shravan Bharadwaj is chilling and also adds to the suspense of the trailer. Similarly, Cinematographer Vivek Kalepu’s camera work is top-notch too.

The film also stars Naresh Agastya, Harshvardhan, Gnananeshwari Kandregula, and Satya Prakash among others. Pavan Sadineni is the director of the movie.

It is very refreshing to see a talented actor like Rajendra Prasad experimenting with different roles. His choice of roles in CLIMAX, Gaali Sampath also clearly suggests a change in his selection of roles.

The film will premiere exclusively on Aha on the 31st of December.

Manchu Manoj tests Covid positive

Actor Manchu Manoj tested positive earlier today. He took to social media to share this development and asked those who came in contact with him last week to take the necessary steps.

https://twitter.com/HeroManoj1/status/1476064086114717698

The cases in the Telugu states just like the rest of the country have been rising of late. Manoj stated that he is currently under medical supervision and that there is nothing to worry about. The actor has been away from the silver screen for quite some time. He was recently quite active during the election campaign for his elder brother Manchu Vishnu for Maa Elections.

The actor even met the AP Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy recently and had a detailed meeting and exchanged some productive ideas regarding the state.

Manchu Manoj says he was floored by some of the promising plans the Chief Minister has for the state. The actor posted a picture of himself with the Chief Minister on Twitter.

RRR Follows Bahubali Style Of Paid Premieres In India

RRR is undoubtedly not only the most-awaited Telugu film after Bahubali-2 but also the most awaited Indian film after the Bahubali franchise.

It is then essential for RRR to also follow the working style of the Bahubali 2, which is, paid premieres before official release. The reason for this is simple. To make most of its money back on the opening day, and also generate hype before the official release.

Bahubali 2 achieved great success from this strategy. The ticket prices ranged from 500-2000 rupees on the opening day, helping the film collect 120 crores+ on day 1.

RRR is also planning for paid premieres from 6th January at 9 PM, one day before release. If things go smoothly, they might also plan for 6 PM shows. The premieres will take place mainly in the two Telugu states, but also in some theatres in India.

However, it is highly likely that Omicron will play spoilsport. The cases have been increasing rapidly and governments of various states have already announced night curfews in major cities. Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai have already imposed curfews.

This is a shame as RRR has been promoting the film non-stop in various states. Prominent actors like Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sivakarthikeyan have also been called to promote the film. Movie lovers across the world will be hoping that everything goes to plan for a grand release on 7th January 2022.

RRR comprises a star cast of Ram Charan, Jr.NTR, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn among others. SS Rajamouli is the director of the film, and DVV Dannaya has produced the film.

Get Ready To Groove To Lala Bheemla’s DJ Version

There is no denying that Thaman is the most sought-after music director in the Telugu film industry at the moment. He has been in terrific form lately, with back-to-back hits.

Thaman is also scoring the background music for the South Indian versions of Prabhas’ Radhe Shyam.

His next movie as music director is the Powerstar Pawan Kalyan starrer Bheemla Nayak. The Bheemla Nayak title song and Lala Bheemla have already set the internet on fire. Now Thaman is back with a modified DJ version of Lala Bheemla, which will release on 31st December.

The original version of the song is already intense and powerful. One can already imagine the speakers on full volume for Lala Bheemla’s DJ version.

The DJ version of the song will release on 31st December at 7:02 PM on Youtube.

Bheemla Nayak also stars Rana Daggubati, Nithya Menon, Samyukta Menon, Brahmanandam in prominent roles. Pawan Kalyan plays the role of an honest cop who challenges Rana Daggubati. Trivikram has written the screenplay, Sagar K Chandra has directed the film.

It was originally set to release on 12th January but has now been postponed to 25th February 2022.

Nani’s Shyam Singha Roy OTT Rights And Date Out

Shyam Singha Roy was released on 24th December and opened to positive reviews and decent collections.

This is Nani’s comeback into theatrical releases after 2 years. His previous two films, V and Tuck Jagadish were released on OTT. This is also an important film for Nani as both V and Tuck Jagadish were not enjoyed by the masses.

So far the film is promising on the content grounds. It is yet to be seen whether the film will make enough people flock to the theatres to receive a hit status, or whether people will wait till Shyam Singha Roy releases on OTT.

Speaking of which, Shyam Singha Roy’s OTT rights have been bagged by top streaming giant- Netflix. Traders and Analysts are reportedly quoting a top price. This is no surprise as the satellite rights and dubbing rights have also gone for a whopping 10 crores each.

The movie will stream on Netflix somewhere around the 4th week of January.

Shyam Singha Roy also stars Sai Pallavi, Krithi Shetty, Madonna Sebastian among others. Sanu John Varghese is the cinematographer of the film. Satyadev Janga has written the story. Rahul Sankrityan is the director of the movie and, Venkat Boyanapalli has produced the movie under Niharika Entertainments.
