Paid Premieres Planned for Akhanda 2

0

The excitement among fans and trade about Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 is on a high level, and the makers are planning massive promotions pan-India along with paid premieres in India.

Nowadays, most of the Telugu films are screening premieres in India before the release night. Big films are continuously screening with premieres, only with flat ticket prices. Now, the news is that Akhanda 2 will also have paid premieres.

This will be a perfect decision, as Boyapati Sreenu-Balakrishna films’ main target audiences are domestic and mass. So, the initial WOM and reviews should come from domestic sources for the film. 

The premieres will happen on the 4th of December night, and the team is starting full-fledged promotions from this week, with the first single set to arrive on the 14th of November.

0

Tamil actress Gouri G Kishan has firmly rejected the apology offered by journalist and YouTuber RS Karthik, following an uncomfortable question about her weight during a recent press conference for her film Others. The incident sparked widespread support for the actress on social media, especially after she called out the remarks as absurd and insensitive, and described the apology as insincere and lacking accountability.

At the event, a reporter questioned Gouri’s co-star about her appearance in a romantic scene and asked the director whether her casting was a “misfit” due to her height and looks. Gouri Kishan immediately challenged the question, asking how her physical appearance had anything to do with her performance. Despite attempts by the journalist and others to downplay the issue, she stood her ground.

In a formal statement shared on November 8, Gouri emphasized the need for respectful and sensitive communication between artists and the media. She expressed how public figures often face scrutiny, and how indirect or direct comments can be deeply hurtful. She made it clear that she would not accept “performative remorse or hollow words”, especially when the apology is brushed off as a joke or denied altogether.

Gouri’s stand has sparked a larger conversation about body-shaming and accountability in the entertainment industry, with many praising her courage and clarity. Her message is a call for unity, empathy, and respectful discourse in both media and society.

The Girlfriend 1st weekend Box Office Collections

0

Rashmika’s The Girlfriend started very slowly but picked up very well at the box office with a good jump by each show in collections. The film’s day 3 box office collections are bigger than day 2, which itself is much bigger than opening day. This is a very positive sign for the film.

The film started with close to 3 Cr gross on opening day, including premieres, and overall, The Girlfriend collected around 11 Cr gross at the box office in its opening weekend, which is a solid total considering the film’s genre. The makers are already in a comfortable position with non-theatrical business, and they will see profits with these theatrical numbers.

The producers and trade expect the film to have a proper long run in theaters, and if the film holds well, it has a chance to collect around 25 Cr gross in its full run.
