Dhanush set for a directorial hat-trick

Kollywood Actor Dhanush made his directorial debut with Pa. Paandi in 2017. The film received good acclaim for his attempt and earned him fine praise for his direction as well. He came back again with his Raayan as a Director last year which emerged as a huge blockbuster also becoming his career-biggest grosser.

After Raayan, Dhanush didn’t back off and directed two more films i.e., NEEK (Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam) and Idly Kadai in which he is also playing the lead role. NEEK is slated for release this Friday and it is also carrying great buzz in Kollywood circles. Few people who have seen the film praised its attempt on their social media handles. So, it is clear that with NEEK, Dhanush is set for a directorial hat-trick success.

NEEK is also releasing in Telugu as Jabilamma Neeku Antha Kopama. The Trailer of this has also been released recently. The film stars Pavish, Anikha Surendran, Priya Prakash Varrier, Mathew Thomas, and others and is produced by Dhanush, Kasthuri Raja, Vijayalakshmi Kasthuri.

Pushpa 2’s Final Collection Officially Announced

Pushpa 2 collections have been a topic of discussion across industries for months now. The film achieved several milestones during its box-office run and now, the makers have finally announced the final box-office figures. As per the makers, the film grossed a whopping Rs 1871 crores worldwide.

https://twitter.com/PushpaMovie/status/1891753276317848009?t=V0aT4i5IrxDfrhNMzeoujw&s=19

But as per Track Tollywood, this Allu Arjun-Rashmika starrer has collected around 1665 Cr gross. The main difference in collections is because of Hindi numbers. There are different numbers in Hindi reported by different trade sources.

Keeping these variations aside, Pushpa 2 is indeed a sensational blockbuster on the level of Baahubali 2. The film has been streaming on Netflix for the past 2 weeks in all languages. And it has achieved a record viewership on Netflix.

The Telugu version also did well and collected more than 500 Cr gross and 300 Cr share and emerged as the non-SSR Industry Hit.

In Hindi, Pushpa 2 has collected more than 1000 Cr gross worldwide and created all-time records. The action entertainer directed by Sukumar did well in Tamil with around 75 Cr gross. Karnataka market also fetched good news for the makers with more than 80 Cr gross. The only region which was a huge disappointment for the producers was Kerala where the film faced big losses and collected less than 20 Cr gross.

Rajinikanth said No to Mari Selvaraj

Mari Selvaraj is one of the Tamil directors who did not see any failures yet. Currently he is working with Vikram’s son Dhruv Vikram on a project called Bison. There were also reports that this talented filmmaker will work with none other than superstar Rajinikanth, but the latest reports suggest that Rajinikanth said no to Mari Selvaraj.

The news from Tamil media is that Mari Selvaraj was planning to do a film with Rajinikanth for a long time, and recently he met the superstar and narrated a story, but Rajini is said to be not interested in doing a film with the director. So, it is almost certain that Rajinikanth said no to Mari Selvaraj.

The main reason for this might be that Mari Selvaraj projects always deal with social issues, mainly fighting for the lower caste people who revolt against the upper caste. Rajinikanth previously did similar kinds of movies Kabali and Kaala with Pa Ranjith. Kabali managed to get good numbers with pre-release hype, but Kaala failed to impress and did not put up even decent numbers at the box office.

The audiences expect more than a story from Rajinikanth. They want mass elevations, entertainment, and stylish episodes, which help the movie to do big numbers. Rajini’s recent release, Vettaiyan, also missed the above-mentioned elements, which resulted in an average result at the box office. So, maybe with all these reasons and issues, Rajinikanth is interested in working on commercial projects only.

Bunny Vasu produced the film under the Geetha Arts banner, and he, along with Allu Aravind and SKN, interacted with the media, where the discussion on piracy came up.
