Tuck Jagadish producer opens up on OTT release controversy

Nani and Ritu Varma starrer Tuck Jagadish’s OTT release has been the talk of the town right from the day it was announced. The decision to release the film digitally drew a lot of flak and many industry insiders and producers lashed out at Nani and Shine Screens for this decision.

The Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce (TSFCC) had issued a note on the OTT release. The statement put out requested the producers to wait till October 2021 and if the situation still doesn’t improve then opt for OTT. However, much to everyone’s surprise Nani’s Tuck Jagadish was announced to release on Amazon Prime. Interestingly Venkatesh’s Narappa also went the digital way after this announcement however, Nani and Shine Screens drew maximum criticism.

Speaking to media on this issue Sahu Garapati, Tuck Jagadish’s producer said that they had always intended for a theatrical release.

“The film’s shooting was completed in last December itself and we planned for a release in April, However, Corona spoiled the plans. We again waited for the situation to improve but even now there are talks of a third wave. Adding to this the situation in neighbouring states is still unclear with night curfews and occupancy restrictions still in place,” said the producer. The uncertain future led the team to go for Amazon Prime for release, said Sahu.

He further added that the support he got from the industry on this issue has been great and that Shine Screens will always be thankful. The film has a runtime of 2 hours 20 minutes which will surely be an advantage feels the producer.

Speaking about the film, Sahu said that it is an out-and-out emotion-driven film and will surely impress the family audience. Shiva Nirvana has directed this film which will release on Amazon Prime Video on September 10th.

Trouble for Mani Ratnam as police case filed against him for cruelty

The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has sought an inquiry in connection with the death of a horse here allegedly during the shooting of filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Tamil historical drama “Ponniyin Selvan”, according to PETA.

A case was filed against the director on August 18th after a horse died on the sets of his film in a private set erected in Hyderabad. The director, along with the owner of the horse have been booked under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and IPC.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) received inside information on this matter directly from the sets. Based on the information of the whistleblower a letter was written to the Hyderabad District Collector. According to the complaint, the remains of the horse were buried in the same ground and a number of horses were similarly used and were tired and dehydrated.

“In the age of computer-generated imagery (CGI), production companies have no excuse for forcing exhausted horses to play at war until one of them drops dead,” said PETA India Chief Advocacy Officer Khushboo Gupta. “Compassionate, forward-thinking filmmakers would never dream of hauling sensitive animals to a chaotic movie set and forcing them to ‘act’. PETA India is calling on director Mani Ratnam to cut the cruelty and switch to modern and humane CGI and other visual-effects technology,” the PETA release further said.

Bheemla Nayak title song criticized by Telangana Police

Bheemla Nayak title song that was released on the occasion of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s birthday has received a mixed response. While some claimed to have enjoyed the unusual composition of the song, others have stated that this is by far the weakest title song in Pawan Kalyan’s career.

Amidst these mixed reviews, the song has found another criticism, and it’s coming directly from Telangana police. Expressing his surprise over the song’s lyrics, M Ramesh Kumar, DCP, East Zone said that the song describes police in an absolutely negative light.

“Thankfully, @TelanganaCOPs are #PeopleFriendlyPolice . We don’t break the bones of those whom we are paid to protect ! Surprisingly, @ramjowrites couldn’t find enough words in Telugu to describe the valour of a cop. No mention of service in the song.,” he tweeted.

It will be interesting to see how Ramajogaiah Sastry, the lyricist of the Bheemla Nayak title song responds to this comment from DCP Ramesh Kumar.

Meanwhile, The shooting of the film is going on at a great pace with some key action scenes being shot currently. Sagar Chandra will be directing the remake. Nithya Menen has been roped in for a key role. Aishwarya Rajesh, who was last seen in World Famous Lover will be paired opposite Rana. The film is set to release on 12th January 2022.

Disappointing verdict for Tamannaah yet again

Tamannaah’s much-awaited cooking reality show Masterchef premiered earlier this month amidst great expectations. The show was expected to reprise the success of its Hindi versions but has failed terribly. The show’s TRP has not been encouraging at all and it registered an opening mark of just 4.1.

This is Tamannaah’s second continuous failure on the small screen. Her web series 11th Hour that premiered on Aha also didn’t succeed on creating an impact. The show features a bunch of contestants from diverse backgrounds who are given various culinary tasks. The show features Sanjay Thumma, Chalapathi Rao and Mahesh Padala as judges who rate the contestants on their cooking skills.

The show will be made in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada with film stars from the respective languages hosting it. It was earlier rumored that Venkatesh would be hosting the Telugu version.

The actress has a bunch of releases lined up and will be next seen in films like Seetimarr, F3, Maestro and Gurthunda Seetakalam.
