0

Samantha, who once was the most popular Tollywood actress bagging back-to back biggies has now been away from the big screen and industry. The actress was no. 1 for many years but in recent times, her films like Shaakuntalam, Kushi, Yashoda have all failed and she is facing a low phase of her career in cinemas. At the moment, she has not signed any big offers.

But now the news in industry circles is that Sukumar is considering Samantha to star opposite Ram Charan. If this is true it will be a big comeback break for Samantha as Sukumar – Ram Charan film is going to be an international standard film. The same combination has earlier delivered a blockbuster classic like Rangasthalam before.

At the same time, Rashmika is also being considered for the role. Sukumar has earlier worked with her in Pushpa. But it would be a fresh pairing with Ram Charan. Rashmika is at the peak of her career with several big Bollywood and Tollywood projects lined up. We need to see who will be the finalized as the lead actress in this film.

This film is a much needed one for Samantha as Rashmika is already busy in big projects whereas Samantha is waiting for a comeback. It needs to be seen if the ace director goes for a hit on-screen pair or a fresh pair.

0

Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which is the biggest budget film of Pawan Kalyan’s career has been on sets for several years now. Despite these delays, fans have great expectations on this film because of its unique genre and Power Star’s reappearance on big screen after a long time. The audio songs released so far have received a mixed response but the visual content garnered a unanimous positive response.

It’s already a known news that this film was planned as single part but later divided into two parts due to story span. The 1st part has been announced for 28th March release. But as per present reports, the film will release either in April end in early May.

For a two part film, part one climax will play a key role. In Hari Hara Veera Mallu, a great care has been taken regarding the climax which is said to be highlight of the film. The climax action scene was shot for more than 40 days and the film will not end with this action sequence.

After climax fight, there will be a grand sequence which would involve VFX and a big lead to part 2. The entire work including post production for the climax is completed. It has come out very well and the team is satisfied with the end product.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu will be the only biggie release in this summer. If its content reaches the expectations, it has the potential to become a massive grosser. This is the first big budget and straight film from Pawan Kalyan in recent years hence fans have great expectations on this.

Post Corona, three of his films were remake and decent budget regional films but couldn’t satisfy many. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a pan Indian film with massive budget. It features grand visuals with heavy VFX and if these factors work out, Pawan Kalyan fans are surely in for a treat.

0

Jailer 2 starring Rajinikanth, is one of the most anticipated films of Kollywood. The film is also poised to do a record-breaking business considering the success of its prequel, Jailer which was a huge blockbuster. Jailer 2’s announcement Teaser is already out, and it created big ripples on social media. Fans and the Audience appreciated Director Nelson for living up to the expectations.

Nelson has also spent more than a year on Jailer 2’s script and the Pre-production works. The film is set to go on the sets on 10th March in Chennai. Rajinikanth is also reported to join this schedule as his portion for Coolie has almost ended with only a few day shoot left pending.

Jailer 2 is currently being planned for a summer release next year. The pre-business is expected to end at a high price, and the cast and crew were also paid with huge remunerations. Veteran Actors Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar have already been cast in the sequel, just as in the prequel. It is also rumoured that Balakrishna may come on board to play a role in the film.

Devara sequel is happening

0

Devara, starring NTR was a sensational blockbsuter, grossing more than 400 crores worldwide. The Actor has also broken the infamous Rajamouli curse with the film emerging as one of the biggest grossers of Tollywood.

There has been a unanimous positive response for Devara’s 1st half, but the 2nd half was a bit mixed because of a mild lead given at the end of the film leading to a sequel. This didn’t excite the fans and audience who felt that the climax could have been better. This is the reason why Devara couldn’t generate a hype that was created for the sequels of KGF, Baahubali and even Pushpa.

NTR, on the other hand, has been working for War 2 and NTRNeel. A film under the direction of Nelson is also on the cards. This made the fans and audience feel that NTR was not concentrating on the sequel of Devara. But the news is that, Director Koratala Shiva is said to be working on the script and his next film will be also be Devara 2. The plan is to start the film in the early 2026. NTR’s War 2 shoot is in the final stages and NTRNeel has already been commenced.

NTR looks to join NTRNeel at the end of this month, and the shoot will be wrapped up by the end of this year, targeting Sankranthi 2026 or the summer season. With this, NTR’s current commitments will be completed this year, and Nelson’s directorial will take much time as his other commitment, Jailer 2, is yet to go on sets. Jailer 2 is also set to release in the summer season of 2026. So, Nelson will concentrate on NTR’s film only in the end of 2026.

Feedback must be considered:

NTR will be giving the dates for Devara’s sequel only in 2026 and Director Koratala Shiva will work on the script this year. The Director has to take the feedback of Devara and must come up with something big for the sequel. The team will have an advantage only then. The film must also contain fine content with a proper lead.

Chhaava Telugu release in trouble

0

Chhaava starring Vicky Kaushal, is rocking the box office with its dominating performance. The film has also grossed more than 500 crores worldwide prompting the makers to release the film in other languages. Likewise, the team made arrangements for Chhaava’s Telugu release. But the release of the film in Telugu language seems to be in trouble.

The Muslim Federation of AP’s President, Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq, had complained against Chhaava, alleging that it distorted the facts to the Nellore Collector. He also requested him to stop the screening of the film in AP and apply a ban on the film. This is now going viral on social media platforms. Chhaava is scheduled for release in Telugu States on 7th March.

We need to see how the Government will act on this. The team has already begun the promotions of the film, and the makers also expect the film to become a sensation in Telugu States.
