Coolie Kerala Rights in Talks for Record Price

0

It looks like the first-ever collaboration of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Superstar Rajinikanth is working wonders for Coolie. The film’s overseas and Telugu States’ business is already done for a huge price, and now, Coolie Kerala rights are in talks for a record price.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is setting records at the box office in all territories. As said above, the Telugu states’ rights are sold at 50 Cr, while overseas rights have been sold at the biggest price ever for Kollywood. 

Now the same is happening for the film in Kerala. The makers are said to have quoted 18 Cr, which is the biggest price ever for Kollywood. Vijay’s GOAT-17 Cr and Leo-16 Cr are the biggest theatrical deals for Kollywood in Kerala.

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Kerala rights are in talks for a record price, and the negotiations are said to be happening at multiple distributors at 18 Cr price.

If the price is finalized, then this will be a record deal, and to achieve break-even itself, the film has to collect more than 50 Cr gross in Kerala. 

Previously, Jailer and Leo have achieved 50 crore gross, and with that confidence, only the distributors are negotiating Rajini-Lokesh’s Coolie for such a huge price.

Kannappa Struggles at Box Office

After a promising opening day, Kannappa has witnessed a significant drop in collections over the weekend. Despite the initial buzz and strong openings, the film saw a noticeable decline on Day 2 and Day 3. By the end of its first weekend, Kannappa managed to earn a worldwide gross of around ₹30 crore, with the distributor share standing close to ₹15 crore.

However, the real blow came on its first Monday, a working day, where the film’s collections saw a major crash, earning less than ₹1 crore in share. This steep decline has raised serious doubts about the film even touching the ₹20 crore share mark.

The makers had earlier stated that Kannappa was mounted on a massive budget of over ₹200 crore. Even if the actual budget is slightly inflated, given the scale, visuals, and star cast, the film needed to earn at least ₹100 crore gross to be considered anywhere near successful. Unfortunately, at this collection rate, the movie is struggling to even reach half of that benchmark.

The film’s sharp decline after a decent start highlights the crucial role of word of mouth and content strength in sustaining box office momentum, especially for big-budget ventures.

Ram Charan Unfairly Targeted Over Game Changer Debacle

0

It is widely known that Ram Charan and Di Raju’s Game Changer, directed by Shankar, emerged as a big disaster at the box office. However, Ram Charan has been unfairly targeted over Game Changer’s debacle for a few days.

Success or failure is in no one’s hands. In the film industry, the success rate is very low. But for Game Changer, the producers continuously dragged on about the loss, and whether they mentioned it directly or indirectly, the blame was going on Charan.

Dil Raju and Shankar are responsible for Game Changer’s failure

But if we see the film’s cost failure, the main responsible persons are Dil Raju and Shankar. Both failed to control the movie’s runtime and budget. If the movie was made on a planned budget with the same outcome, then the makers could have earned stable profits.

Even though the project was delayed by Indian 2, Charan supported it throughout the shooting, did not even sign other films, and allotted the dates whenever the team asked.

If Ram Charan had signed another film between the Game Changer’s shooting, it could have faced much bigger problems, but the actor supported it throughout the shooting. So, how can he be responsible for the movie’s cost failure?

Ram Charan faced a big setback with Game Changer after RRR

As a star, Ram Charan’s stardom also pulled in almost 200 Cr gross for the film, and no star can do much for a film that had low pre-release buzz with big negativity and bad WOM upon its release.

Game Changer producers immediately recovered with Sankranthiki Vastunam, but Charan received a big blow, which was a crucial movie for him after RRR. He put his heart into the film and saw a bad result.

Certainly, he had a big, tough time at that time. The concern should be more on him, but Ram Charan is being unfairly targeted over Game Changer’s debacle.

War 2: Naga Vamsi to Acquire Telugu States Rights

0

War 2 is one of the most hyped films of Indian cinema this year. Starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR as the leads, the film carries equal hype in Hindi and Telugu. Producer Naga Vamsi is all set to acquire War 2 Telugu States rights.

Naga Vamsi’s production house is now one of the biggest production houses in Tollywood, and it also does distribution of other films by acquiring total Telugu states’ rights.

Naga Vamsi to acquire Telugu States Rights

Previously, Vamsi bought NTR’s Devara’s entire Telugu states’ rights, and it was a blockbuster hit. Now the latest news is that he aims for War 2 rights as well. Interestingly, the producer also tried to buy Rajinikanth’s Coolie rights, but it finally went to Asian Group. 

Now with Coolie going outside, Naga Vamsi is all set to acquire War 2 Telugu States rights. He is said to have quoted 80 Cr for the Telugu states’ rights to the film, while the makers quoted price stands at 100 Cr. 

War 2 needs to get good distributor in Telugu States to compete with Raini’s Coolie

A few more producers are also said to be in the race to acquire this biggie’s distribution rights in Telugu, but according to industry buzz, it is likely to close with Naga Vamsi only with a price in between 80 and 90 Cr.

This is definitely a good deal for Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 producers also, as if they go with their own release, then finding a big number of theaters will be tough for them, as Rajini’s Coolie is being distributed by big names.

So, War 2 also needs big distributors, and Naga Vamsi is the right person to handle such competition.

NTR joined Hrithik Roshan for his first full-fledged Hindi film, War 2. Ever since the film was announced, fans have awaited a song that stars both the heroes, and reports say that Hrithik Roshan and NTR will face each other in an epic dance battle in War 2.

The film is a part of the Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe. So, obviously it will have the franchise craze, and it is also a sequel to the blockbuster movie War (2019). Besides these, one of the most exciting factors in this multistarrer is the dance number.

Fans await the dance number featuring NTR and Hrithik Roshan in War 2

Because both heroes are the biggest dancers in Indian cinema, there are huge expectations on their dance moves. Reportedly, Hrithik Roshan and NTR will face each other in an epic dance battle in War 2.

This song was initially planned in May, but due to Hrithik’s injury, it has been moved to July, and the shoot is said to have been planned between 1st July and 6th July.

The Oscar-winning Naatu Naatu played a big role in the movie’s buzz and success. Now, for War 2, definitely this song has higher chances to take buzz to a new level.

Not only Telugu cinema fans but even all audiences expect this song to be released as the first single for the movie.

Coolie Gearing Up for a Grand Audio Launch

0

Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie is a massive film and undoubtedly the biggest project from Kollywood. The film is doing massive business in all areas. Coolie gears up for a grand audio launch.

Lokesh is the number 1 director, and Superstar Rajini is still the top hero for Tamil cinema. So, if they both have collaborated on a film, it will certainly produce a huge buzz. Also, it has stars like Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin, Shruti Haasan, and Satyaraj in crucial roles.

As the movie’s release date nears, Rajinikanth’s Coolie gears up for a grand audio launch. Fans eagerly await this biggie’s audio event, as Anirudh is the music composer.

Fans expect Anirudh to repeat the magic of Jailer in Coolie Audio Launch

If we go into the past, the Jailer audio launch is one of the best audio events ever, where Anirudh performed the Hukum song, which made the buzz multiple times.

Now, with this huge star cast and craze, everyone awaits Anirudh’s concert during the audio launch, and the event is said to be happening at Nehru Stadium on 27th July.

Also, the team will likely attend events in Telugu and Hindi as well, because the makers aim for pan-India success and big numbers are also involved in business.

Nithiin’s Thammudu, directed by Venu Sriram, is gearing up for worldwide theatrical release on 4th July. During the latest promotional event for the film, producer Dil Raju confirmed paid premieres for Thammudu.

The film is reportedly made on the biggest budget in Nithin’s career, with 75 Cr, and this is a very crucial film for the actor and producer.

Dil Raju confirms Paid Premieres for Nithiin’s Thammudu

The producer appeared super confident about the film, and he expressed that the movie will definitely achieve big success after watching the first copy. He said the same thing in almost all the interviews.

But somehow the movie is not carrying a big buzz among audiences, and the recent results of Nithin’s movies also played a major role in this.

Now, the team comes up with a good strategy of screening paid premieres in most of the centers on 3rd July. Producer Dil Raju confirmed paid premieres for Thammudu.

The audiences will be interested in watching paid premieres, and the occupancy will be good.

If the WOM is positive, then all the negatives will turn into positives for the film, and it will have a big weekend at the box office.

0

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie created a big race for its business in Telugu film industry circles. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the movie consists of a huge star cast. The pre-release report of Coolie Telugu states the business deal is out now.

Despite War 2 releasing in competition, all the Telugu producers went into a race to acquire the rights to Rajini’s film. With this, the business price also reached a higher limit.

Coolie finishes a massive theatrical deal in Telugu States

Initially, negotiations happened at the 35 Cr level, and with multiple names coming into the race, the price continuously increased. Finally, it has closed at 44 Cr, excluding the GST.

This is a very huge price and the 3rd biggest business film in the Telugu States in dubbed films after KGF-2 and 2 Point 0. 

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Telugu states the business deal is out now, and the movie’s rights have been acquired by Asian Group [Asian Cinemas + Suresh Babu + Dil Raju].

So in all areas, despite the War 2 release, Coolie will get a very good screen count. The internal business is said to have already closed for distributors at a 50Cr ratio in the Telugu states.

To achieve theatrical breakeven, the film needs to collect 50 Cr share in Telugu states, which means 85 Cr+ gross.

Allu Arjun Succeeded, You Failed – Dil Raju’s Honest Words to Nithiin

0

Producer Dil Raju’s upcoming film, Thammudu, starring Nithiin, is all set to be released in theaters on July 4th. During one of the promotional interviews, Dil Raju compared Nithiin with Allu Arjun and said that the former failed while the latter succeeded in becoming a star.

Nithin with Dil (2003) and Allu Arjun with Arya (2004) score big hits during their initial career days. However, if we observe, AA went on to become one of the topmost stars of Indian cinema.

Allu Arjun Succeeded, You Failed – Dil Raju says to Nithiin

But Nithiin is still struggling to get himself a proper market or stardom. Producer Dil Raju said that as an industry person, he expected both the heroes to become stars in the future.

But Allu Arjun succeeded in achieving that goal while Nithiin failed. This was shared on a funny note by the reputed producer.

However, we cannot deny the fact in Raju’s words. If you observe the career of Nithin, he had a very good launch with a superhit movie called Jayam, and he has also worked with all the big directors in his career.

Directors like VV Vinayak, SS Rajamouli, Teja, Krishna Vamsi, and Puri Jagannath have worked with the actor, but still, he did not get the deserved success because of wrong choices of projects.

Meanwhile, the makers of Thammudu have announced they will release the second trailer of the film this evening.
