Tollywood biggies eyeing for Dusshera

With the pandemic bringing the film industry to a standstill, filmmakers are waiting for the situation to ease to decide on the next steps. While some filmmakers are releasing the movies on OTTs, Tollywood biggies have categorically stated that they will only release their films in theatres.

A number of Tollywood biggies are now staring at a Dusshera release date. Out of these, Radhe Shyam and Acharya are frontrunners for the festive season. Acharya was scheduled for a release in May earlier this year while Radhe Shyam was slotted for release in July. While Radhe Shyam has completed its shoot, Acharya is still having certain portions in balance.

Theatres are likely to get back to business in July 2nd week and so will movie shoots. This gives some of the Tollywood biggies a solid couple of months to get ready for the release.

The summer season is traditionally a peak season in Tollywood and usually a number of releases happen in this time. With the pandemic washing away the summer, a number of medium and small budget films will also be vying for the Dusshera time.

Nithiin’s Power Peta to be further delayed

Nithin is treading cautiously after the failure of his releases Check and RangDe earlier this year. The actor reportedly is taking extra care of his future releases. His upcoming film Power Peta is facing delays because of this approach. The action drama was supposed to go on floors last year but has faced continuous delays because of the lockdown.

Another thing reportedly bothering Nithiin is the similarities in the storylines of Power Peta and Sharwanand’s upcoming film Mahasamudram. Mahasamudram is slated for an August release.

Nithin wants to ensure there are no similarities between the two, he’s asked the director Krishna Chaitanya to wait till Mahasamudram releases. Post this, necessary changes may be made to the Nithiin starrer

“Moreover, the date diary of the leading lady Keerthy Suresh is extremely packed. She is supposed to simultaneously shoot for Sarkaru Vaari Paata with Mahesh Babu as well as another Tamil film before joining the sets of Power Peta. Since the shooting schedules of those two films have also been postponed due to pandemic, her date diary has also been chaotic,” informs a source.

Meanwhile, the actor has okayed Vakkantham Vamsi’s script for producer Tagore Madhu. The film will go on floors after the lockdown.
