Raja Saab to Become a Franchise

Director Maruthi got a chance to work with Pan Indian Star Prabhas with The Raja Saab. The film, which was announced to be released in December, is said to be moving to Sankranthi. The makers say that Raja Saab is all set to become a franchise. 

Post COVID-19, the sequels and franchises trend has become the norm in Indian cinema, and even Telugu films are also following the trend with big sequels like Salaar and Devara lined up in the coming days.

Prabhas – Maruthi’s The Raja Saab is a Franchise Film

Now, Prabhas’s Raja Saab is also on the way to becoming a franchise. The producer of the film stated in a recent interview that it will be different from the other multi-part films. He said, “We’ve got around 4 hours and 30 minutes of raw footage for The Raja Saab. We’re working on chopping and editing it down to about 2 hours and 45 minutes.”

According to the producer’s words, Prabhas and Maruthi’s The Raja Saab will also have a Part 2, but it will not be a direct continuation, and it will explore a different story set in a multiverse-like concept.

Producer TG Vishwa Prasad said that the movie will have a lot of exciting elements, such as action, entertainment, songs, grand VFX, a unique story, and everything.

He also said that they are considering the Sankranthi release, as distributors say it would be a great date for the comedy horror genre. So, all we need is an official confirmation of The Raja Saab moving to Sankranthi.

War 2 and Coolie Ticket Hikes Confirmed in Telugu States

Applying for ticket hikes for big movies has become the norm in the Telugu film industry. The upcoming two biggies, War 2 and Coolie, will also apply for ticket hikes in Telugu states, as they involve big business.

Both films have big stars in the cast; Superstar Rajinikanth heads Coolie, with Nagarjuna, Upendra, and others under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj. War 2 has two big stars from South and North Indian cinema in the form of NTR and Hrithik Roshan.

Ticket Hikes Confirmed in Telugu States for Coolie and War 2

So, because of such hype, War 2 and Coolie will apply for ticket hikes in Telugu states in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Reportedly, both teams have already applied for the hikes to the respective governments. 

The ticket hikes will show a high impact on the movies, which get mixed reviews and below-par responses. However, Coolie and War 2 are both crazy films, and they are also coming on the holiday weekend. So, the hiked prices will work if movies open with positive WOM.

Athadu 4K Struggles for Theatres

Mahesh Babu fans are too excited to celebrate the actor’s 50th birthday, which also marks 20 years of his film Athadu. However, this re-release is turning bitter for them, as Athadu 4K struggles for theaters.

The most awaited Athadu re-release faces a major struggle to secure the maximum number of theaters as Mahavatar Narasimha continues its dream run, and Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom theaters are locked until War 2.

Crowded Releases Hit Athadu 4K Theatres Hunt

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is still running on a net-free basis, and Mythri’s film SuFromSo (a Kannada dubbed film) is releasing on August 8th. Because of all this, Mahesh Babu’s Athadu 4K struggles for theaters.

The crowded release window is one hurdle, and on the other hand, War 2 and Coolie arrive in theaters on August 14th. So, the audience’s interest in watching Athadu has also been quite low. 

As a result, the film will not have a big release as expected by the fans, and we will have to wait and see how it will perform with fewer available screens/shows.

Kaithi 2 Delayed Again

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj started a new trend in South Indian cinema by developing a film universe called the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Kaithi is the first one in this universe, and despite huge hype, Kaithi 2 is getting delayed again and again.

After Kaithi, Vikram continued the LCU, and Vijay’s Leo ending also had a link to it. But as said above, Kaithi 2 is the most anticipated film from Kollywood and LCU, but somehow it is not able to go on floors.

Kaithi 2: The Most Awaited Film From LCU Continuously Getting Delayed

The fans are frustrated as the Lokesh Kanagaraj and Karthi’s Kaithi 2 shoot is continuously delayed, and finally, it was expected to start this year.

But recently, Lokesh Kanagaraj confirmed that the shoot of Kaithi’s sequel will start in summer 2026, as he, in the meantime, will be busy with his debut film as a lead hero under Arun Matheswaran’s direction.

Lokesh will also work on the pre-production works of the second part of Kaithi, and its shoot will start next summer and is slated for a 2027 release.
