Political Hurdles Trouble Jana Nayagan’s Business?

When film stars enter politics, their movies sometimes face hurdles due to political rivalries. Tamil actor Vijay, who recently launched his own political party and began openly criticizing the government, is now reportedly facing political issues with his upcoming film Jana Nayagan, which is also said to be his last film as a lead actor.

According to Tamil media reports, the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights of Jana Nayagan were sold for ₹100 crore to a distributor. However, the distributor has allegedly not paid the full amount and is now considering backing out of the deal. The reason cited is the political risk involved in investing heavily in a Vijay-starrer at this time.

Jana Nayagan faces the Political Heat

Industry buzz suggests that Jana Nayagan contains strong political references and punch dialogues, which could stir controversy and provoke rival reactions. This has reportedly made other distributors hesitant to buy the entire Tamil Nadu rights, with many now preferring to purchase individual area rights instead.

Meanwhile, KVN Productions, the film’s producer, is still looking to sell the complete TN rights to a single distributor. As of now, Jana Nayagan is facing political issues in its theatrical business, and it remains to be seen how these issues will be resolved.

Shocking update: Aamir Khan And Rajkumar Hirani Pause Their Third Film

Bollywood fans were thrilled when Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani announced their third collaboration as a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke. However, fans will be disappointed to learn that the project has now been shelved.

According to reports, the Aamir-Rajkumar Hirani film has been put on hold due to script issues. Both have decided not to move forward until they create a story with strong and universal appeal.

Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan reportedly met Dadasaheb Phalke’s family several times, and the family even gave official permission (NOC) for the project. However, the final version of the script did not satisfy the team.

Interestingly, before this, SS Rajamouli had also planned a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with NTR, not as a director, but as a supervisor with another filmmaker directing it. That project too was dropped when Aamir and Hirani began working on their version. Now, it remains to be seen whether Rajamouli will revive his plan or leave it aside.

Netflix Numbers Disappoint For OG

After receiving a decent response in theaters, Pawan Kalyan’s film OG started strong on Netflix with impressive viewership. However, it soon lost momentum and failed to maintain its initial success.

A movie like OG was expected to attract a wide audience on OTT platforms, especially since the makers announced it as a franchise film with both a prequel and sequels planned. Pawan Kalyan has officially confirmed that he will continue the OG franchise. For the franchise to gain a massive following, the film needed to perform strongly among audiences in other languages as well, but its performance on Netflix has been disappointing after the first week.

OG began streaming on Netflix on October 23rd. In its first week (October 23rd to 26th), it recorded 3.2 million views. In the second week (October 27th to November 2nd), the film gained 2.1 million views.

By the third week (November 3rd to 9th), viewership had dropped to less than 1 million, and the film was no longer listed in Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films. Altogether, OG has gathered around 6 million views on Netflix in three weeks, which disappoints fans and it is not a strong response for a film of this scale.

Record Viewership for Idli Kadai on Netflix

Dhanush’s Idli Kadai was released in theaters but received a mixed response from audiences, but the film has surprisingly registered a record viewership on Netflix. The emotional drama is having a superb response upon its digital release.

Titled Idli Kottu in Telugu, the movie started streaming on Netflix on October 29. In its first week (October 29 to November 2), it recorded 5.1 million views, ranking Top 2 globally, Top 1 in India, and Top 10 in several countries.

In the second week (November 3 to November 9), the film gained another 2.9 million views and secured the Top 4 position globally among non-English films, while continuing to hold the Top 1 spot in India.

Overall, Dhanush’s Idli Kadai has achieved record viewership on Netflix, crossing 8 million views by November 9. No one expected it to gather such huge views on OTT.

Kaantha: Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati Land in a Legal Trouble

Dulquer Salmaan’s period crime drama, Kaantha, which also stars Rana Daggubati in a crucial role, unexpectedly lands in legal trouble just a few days before its release. The film is scheduled for a grand worldwide release on November 14th. 

In a recent interview, Duquer confirmed that Kaantha is a fictional crime drama that is only partly inspired by M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar’s rise and fall, and it is not a proper or total biopic.

“Kaantha” is now facing a legal trouble, with the family of M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar filing a legal case against the filmmakers. Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati, the film’s producers, are named in the petition, which claims they were not informed about the story, did not obtain permission, and that the film portrays M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar in a defamatory light.

The Madras High Court has issued a notice to the filmmakers, with the hearing scheduled for November 18th, while the film is set for release on November 14th. We will have to wait and see how events unfold in the coming days.

Dulquer and Rana need to reach out to the family of M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, explain the film’s context, and attempt to convince them to withdraw the lawsuit, which appears to be the most viable solution for them.
