Swasika, the actress who rose to fame with Lubber Pandhu, also starred in a recent Telugu film, Nithin’s Thammudu. The Malayalam actress says no to playing Ram Charan’s mother in Peddi

In a recent interview, the Malayalam actress said that she was offered Ram Charan’s mother’s role in Peddi, but she rejected it. She said that she might take up such roles in the future if time permits, but not now.

“I keep landing mother roles one after another. I was totally taken aback when they asked me to play Ram Charan’s mom. This was for Peddi, a huge Telugu movie with a massive budget. I said no. I don’t know what would happen if I attempted it, but I’m not interested in playing Ram Charan’s mother at this time. So, I said no. If such a time comes in the future, I may consider it,” said Swasika.

Even netizens are also shocked at how Buchi Babu approached Swasika for a mother character. They say that if he had asked her for a sister character or some other, it would have been fine, and they firmly opined that she might not suit the mother character.

Interestingly, Swasika appears in a character that has both young and old age timelines in Lubber Pandhu.

The Telugu film industry’s big films are experiencing difficulties in fixing the release dates. Movies like Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara, Teja Sajja’s Mirai, and Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati have announced dates, but there is no confirmation about those dates. 

Raviteja’s Mass Jathara was announced for 27 August release, and the latest information about the movie is that it has been postponed to 31st October. However, the team still maintains silence on this issue.

Teja Sajja’s Mirai was announced for 5th September, and in recent days, there is a big buzz that it is moving to 12th / 19th September. But still, the makers are silent, and they are not denying the rumors or announcing a new release date either.

The same goes with Anushka and Krish’s Ghaati movie. It had several postponements, and the last announced date is 5th September. But in the industry circles, there is still a buzz about this film’s postponement, but the team maintains silence.

Dulquer Salmaan’s period film drama Kaantha was planned to be released on 12th September, and even this film faces the postponement rumors lately, but the makers did not give any update about it.

Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 was announced for a 25th September release, and it was supposed to clash with Pawan Kalyan’s OG, which was announced later than Balakrishna’s team.

There are continuous rumors about Akhanda’s sequel that it is moving to the 1st week of December, but there has been no response from the official sources.

Be it a movie having big names, like Akhanda, or the ones that raised anticipation, like Mirai and Ghaati, they are finding it difficult to confirm the release dates for some unknown reasons.

The team needs to clarify the release dates as soon as possible so it will give clarity to audiences as well.

After the extended weekend, the trade and audiences were doubtful whether the film could cross the 500 Cr mark. But with a good jump in collections yesterday, Rajnikanth’s Coolie is on track to achieve the 500 Cr milestone.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie heading towards 500 Cr at the box office

Yesterday, the film Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial collected over 15 Cr gross worldwide, which takes the total worldwide gross to 460 crore Even today, the film’s advances look promising, and by today’s end, it will gross over 470 Cr worldwide.

The plus point for the film is that, along with the Tamil version, the Telugu, and Hindi versions are too contributing some numbers on a continuous basis.

This week with the Ganesh Chaturthi Festival, the film has a good advantage, as in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, there are no notable biggies being released, which will benefit Coolie to put up some numbers at the box office.

So, with the help of all the above-mentioned points, the action drama is all set to achieve the 500 Cr milestone. Rajinikanth’s 2.0, and Jailer have crossed this milestone, and Coolie will be the third one if it can do so.
