Tollywood Actor Nani is gearing up for his upcoming release, Hit 3. The film directed by Sailesh Kolanu is the third part of the HIT franchise. The film is riding high with the hype because of the violence quotient and now the Trailer’s views took it to the next level.

Hit 3 Trailer was released yesterday. The Trailer has garnered more than 20 Million Views on YouTube in just 24 hours. This is an All-Time record for a Non-star Hero. This also shows how the film has built a massive hype around it. Nani plays the role of Arjun Sarkaar, a fierce cop in the film.

0

Legendary Music Director, Ilaiyaraaja has reportedly issued a notice to the Producers of Good Bad Ugly to provide a compensation of 5 crores. The film is said to have contained 3 of his songs which he alleges were used without his permission. He also mentioned that the team should seek an apology for this action within 7 days.

It is learned that the team of Good Bad Ugly has got the NOC from the Music Label for using all the 3 songs. This is surely a shocking move from Ilaiyaraaja. He also did the same during the release of Manjummel Boys which used one of his songs. The Producers then also paid the compensation.

It has to be seen how the team of Good Bad Ugly proceeds. The film has been rocking the box office since the opening day and has also grossed more than 170 crores worldwide. Now, Ilaiyaraaja’s action will surely be a shocker for the team.

Hit 3 starring Nani is gearing up for release on May 1st worldwide. The film’s Trailer was also released yesterday and the team participated in a Q/A session. Nani made interesting comments about Hit 3 during this session which raised eyebrows. This video is also going viral now on social media platforms.

One of the journalists asked Nani if his judgment skill would be successful for Hit 3 which worked for his production venture, Court. Nani then said that Hit 3 was a racy and violent thriller and expressed confidence that it would satisfy those who like this genre. He also gave a call to stop believing in his judgement skill if Hit 3 doesn’t work well at the box office.

These comments surprised many netizens who pointed out that Nani was not confident about Hit 3. It may be recalled that the Actor during the pre-release event of Court, requested the audience to avoid his upcoming film i.e., Hit 3 if Court doesn’t impress them. But he didn’t make a comment like this on Hit 3 now. So, it would be really interesting to see how Hit 3 fares.

Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom not releasing on May 30th?

However, the latest buzz in the industry suggests that the movie might be postponed again. Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom was announced for a March-end release at first, but it was postponed to May-end, and there are emerging postponement rumors even on this film as well.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s latest film, Jack, was made on a very big budget, as it was his film after the blockbuster Tillu series. The energetic actor collaborating with Bommarillu Bhaskar excited audiences. However, sadly, Jack bombs at the box office.

As said above, the combination of Bommarillu Bhaskar and Star Boy Siddhu made everyone interested in the film, Jack, but the promotional content didn’t impress anyone. Especially, the trailer’s release made the film’s buzz go down, and upon its theatrical release, the WOM also was poor.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Jack Receives a Disastrous Result at the Box Office

With this, the film saw a poor start on day 1, and after the poor opening, the film did not see any jump over the weekend, and yesterday, on Ambedkar Jayanti, it completely crashed at the box office. Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Jack bombs at the box office, much to the disappointment of fans.

With this, the film almost ended its box office run. Jack collected just around 8 Cr gross worldwide, which is not even 1/3 of Tillu Square’s opening day. However, one positive takeaway from this film is that some audiences are turning up just for Siddhu’s name or brand. 

So, it means that the actor can definetly bring big numbers if he comes with the right content. Siddhu’s next film is Telusu Kada, a love entertainer directed by Neeraja Kona.

Pradeep Machiraju Faces First Box Office Flop With Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi

Pradeep did not accept or do multiple films after his first success as a hero, and he took a lot of time and arrived with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi. However, somehow, this film failed to create any pre-release buzz, and because of that, it did not have any big openings at the box office.

Also, the film opened with below-par WOM and reviews; it did not even gather respectable numbers over the weekend. Roughly, it didn’t even collect 1 Cr gross. Pradeep Machiraju faces his first box office flop with Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi.

This is a first setback for Pradeep as a hero, and he needs a good comeback to get back on track.

Vishwambhara Team’s misstep

0

Vishwambhara starring Chiranjeevi is one of the most awaited projects of Tollywood. The film is not a regular commercial film and being made with a lavish budget with grand visuals. The team released the Glimpse of the film months ago and it attained criticism because of the poor visual setup.

The Team didn’t release any second Glimpse to raise expectations but just released a song on Hanuman Jayanthi. This proved to be a misstep from the Team. They should first show the budget and the span of the film to get a big business deal. The song was good, but the film must have a big promotional content and strategy.

If we look at the song, it appeared as a regular song shot on a set. So, these things may not get the expected business deal. The team must concentrate on the visuals first and showcase their grandeur on a big scale. The team hasn’t announced the release date as of yet. It is expected that the film may release at the end of July and there is a good time in between to plan proper promotional activity that involves visual grandeur.
