Andhra Buyers back with risky bets

In Telugu States, Andhra business is different from Telanagana’s. In Telangana, theatres business mostly happens on an advance basis by putting all risks to Distributors or Producers. But in AP, the risk will be taken by buyers as the business will happen on MG/SG and hires basis for record prices.

In the recent past years, not even a single biggie has delivered profits for Andhra Buyers except Sankranthi films which include RRR, KGF Chapter 2, Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Pushpa and Salaar. All these films haven’t provided good profits for Andhra Buyers. With these scenarios, they have stepped back on getting rights for big films for huge prices. Kalki 2898 AD had to go for own release because of this decision as well. But finally Devara has delivered them the much needed relief. Government’s decision of allowing big ticket prices is also one of the main reasons.

Devara ended up as a profitable venture and Andhra Buyers have started their risky bets again with this. Pushpa 2 AP business ratio is 85 crores which indicates that it has already collected 1.5 times the recent biggie Devara. In Ceded, it is 30 crores and Pushpa 2 has to match Devara style victory for breakeven. But interestingly, Pushpa 2 wasn’t a successful biggie in AP like Baahubali. It did only average here but buyers have been betting big on Pushpa 2. So, we have to see how this works.

These questions of the lady reporter have gone viral now. She is also being trolled heavily for grilling Actress Ananya Nagalla repeatedly. There were many instances earlier when celebrities were forced to speak about something. But this has crossed all the limits and felt very regressive.

Devara Telugu Distributors Party in Dubai

Devara’s blockbuster success has brought huge relief to Koratala Siva and a massive smile on the faces of Jr NTR and the producers. Devara’s entire Telugu states rights were bought by Naga Vamsi and sold to his regular set of distributors area-wise. All his distributors achieved breakeven with good returns.

This achievement makes Devara the only big film in recent times that has achieved good returns to all buyers of Telugu states. To celebrate this success Naga Vamsi threw a grand party to the distributors in Dubai. The action entertainer is into its 4th week and with no big release in sight and all Dasara releases receiving poor word of mouth, its all set to have another few days of run.

Rajinikanth to compensate Lyca Productions again?

Rajinikanth collaborated with Lyca Productions for 2.0 as the lead Actor. The film was a heavy budgeted one and ended up as a loss venture for Lyca Productions. Rajini again did Darbar for Lyca which too had failed miserably. He did an extended cameo role in Lal Salaam which was produced by Lyca this year which also became a major disaster. Now, Vettaiyan which released recently is heading towards a failure. Rajinikanth is also learnt to have decided compensating Lyca Productions again with a film.

Rajinikanth has expected Vettaiyan to compensate for the earlier riding losses for Lyca Productions. The film was also planned as a medium budgeted film in the beginning but the cost shot up with Amitabh Bachchan, Rana and Fahadh Faasil coming onboard along with other making sequences.

Vettaiyan did a good pre-release business thanks to Jailer’s massive success. Likewise, Vettaiyan has grossed more than 200 crores making it a decent run but the target of compensating didn’t happen. It is also speculated that Lyca Productions has contacted Rajinikanth to do one more film as a compensation for them. We have to see how Rajinikanth would respond to this.

Pushpa 2 Telugu States Area Wise Business Details

The countdown has begun and there are just 50 days to go for Pushpa 2 release. The film is all set to release on 6th December with early premieres being planned by the makers. The third single from the film is expected to be out this month and Sukumar and team need to ramp up their promotions game.

Coming to its business, Pushpa 2 did a massive pre-release business in Andhra. The Pushpa 2 business is in the range of RRR which is a testimony of the massive scale of the Pushpa 2 craze. Here are the area-wise business details.

  • Nizam: 80 Cr
  • Ceded: 30 Cr
  • UA: 23.40 Cr
  • East: 14.40 Cr
  • West: 10.80 Cr
  • Guntur: 15.30 Cr
  • Krishna: 12.60 Cr
  • Nellore: 7.2 Cr

The total Telugu state business is Rs 194 crores. The film needs to collect 200 Cr in just Telugu states to attain a hit status. Only RRR and Baahubali have managed the kind of run that this Sukumar film needs to do. This Allu Arjun starrer has the advantage of a free run during December. With Ram Charan’s Game Changer being the only next big release, Pushpa 2 will be massively banking on positive word of mouth and long run.

Empuraan Release Date Locked

L2: Empuraan, the highly anticipated sequel to 2019’s blockbuster Lucifer, is nearing completion. The film, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, has wrapped up a lengthy shoot in Gujarat. According to production designer Mohan Das, who provided project updates, the team is on pace for a theatrical release in the first quarter of 2025, with a probable date of March 27.

Mohan Das, who recently won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Art Director in 2024, is working with Prithviraj on L2: Empuraan and has expressed delight for the film. With momentum rising, this sequel looks to maintain Mohanlal-Prithviraj’s winning record. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, L2: Empuraan is expected to be a box-office hit, following in the footsteps of its predecessor and confirming the duo’s ability to make excellent films.

Lucifer was a tremendous smash in Malayalam; in Telugu, it was remade by Chiranjeevi as God Father, but it failed to work here. L2 will be released across India on March 27th, 2025. At the time, the release dates for VD12 and HariHara Veera Maallu were formally announced in Telugu. So the fight at the box office appears to be really tough.

Dil Raju faces another blow with Janaka Aithe Ganaka

Tollywood Producer Dil Raju who is known for delivering good content and successful films is witnessing setbacks. His films in the recent times are failing continuously. He saw a huge disaster this year in the form of The Family Star starring Vijay Deverakonda. Later, his nephew, Ashish’s Love Me has also crashed at the box office. Dil Raju has faced another blow with the recent film, Janaka Aithe Ganaka. The film was produced by his daughter.

The team of Janaka Aithe Ganaka did good promotions but still the film failed at the box office. It faced a stiff competition from many other releases during the Dussehra season. The film is said to have collected only 1 crore share and failed miserably at the box office.

Dil Raju’s next biggie is Game Changer. Everyone’s eyes are on Game Changer which faced multiple postponements and delay sagas. This is a massive budget film directed by Shankar who also faced big debacle in the form of Indian 2 recently. The film is releasing on 10th January 2025 and must revive both the careers of Shankar and Dil Raju.

Karthik Subbaraj’s Suriya 44 Reveal Disappoints

Even as Kanguva is getting ready for release in the next month, Suriya has surprised many by wrapping up his next film with Karthik Subbaraj. Now the Kollywood star has two projects in the pipeline all set for immediate release and this has filled fans with excitement. The post-production work for the Karthik Subbaraj project is in progress.

Suriya’s look from the movie was released recently and it managed to create quite some buzz. Everyone believed that Suriya would be playing the role of a gangster in this film. Karthik Subbaraj, however, brought an end to these rumours and clarified that this is not a gangster film.

The director said that the core plot of the film is a beautiful love story with a lot of action but it’s 100% not a gangster film. This statement from the director has disappointed the fans who were eagerly waiting for a full-length gangster drama from Suriya.

On the other hand, it’s a good idea to reveal the genre of the movie as the fans will know exactly what to expect from the film. Pooja Hegde is playing the lead role opposite Suriya and the film is slated to release in Summer 2025.

Dil Raju Hurts Anil Ravipudi

Anil Ravipudi is one of the promising directors in Tollywood with all his films being minimum guarantee projects and doing well at the box office. His movies are especially known for their entertainment quotient and have created a solid following for him among the family audience. With his films being entertainers and appealing to families, his preference for a Sankranti release has always worked out and delivered blockbuster results for him in the past.

F2 was released for 2019 Sankranti and emerged as a sensational blockbuster, Sarileru Neekevvaru was released for 2020 Sankranti and also emerged as a huge blockbuster and still is the career biggest film for Mahesh Babu. His upcoming film with Venkatesh was also billed as a Sankranti release right from the beginning and the promotional material also featured the lines ‘Sankranthi ki Vastunnam’.

Sankranti is the best season for Anil Ravipudi films. But now Dil Raju who is producing the Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi film as well as Game Changer has decided to prioritise the latter. An official announcement was made last week and Game Changer is indeed releasing for Sankranti Dil Raju is now he planning to push the Venkatesh film to summer which is a big jolt to Anil Ravipudi’s brand and plans.
