Vijay fans disappointed over Thalapathy69 buzz

0

Tamil Actor Vijay has confirmed his upcoming film, tentatively titled, Thalapathy69 under the direction of H. Vinoth. The film will also be Vijay’s final film after which he will be moving on to politics full time. Fans and Audience were excited about the film but the recent buzz around the film has disappointed them. It is being rumoured that Thalapathy69 would either be a remake or adaptation of Telugu film, Bhagavanth Kesari starring Balakrishna.

Recently all the star cast of the film was announced. Actresses Mamitha Baiju and Pooja Hegde were officially taken onboard. This has also raised doubts about their inclusion. Many feel that Mamitha Baiju would be playing the role of Sree Leela and Pooja Hegde would reprise Kajal Aggarwal‘s role in the film. The team is also rumoured to have taken the remake rights already.

This has hurt Vijay’s fans badly. They wanted to see him do a full fledged commercial Masala film but not a remake at this stage. Moreover, Vijay who once known for remaking many films in his career has stopped doing remakes since long time. So, the Actor, now remaking a latest Telugu film which is already available on OTT is disappointing the Fans and Audience big time. We have to wait and see if this news about Thalapathy69 is true or not.

Indian 3: Direct OTT release

0

This year witnessed the release of Kamal Haasan’s film Indian 2, which did not perform well with the audience. During the film’s release, Shankar announced that a third part is in the works. A glimpse of sorts was added at the end of Indian 2. According to recent reports, Indian 3 is in talks with Netflix about a direct OTT release.

Kamal Haasan is anticipated to play a different character in Indian 3, which would take place before Independence. Actor Kajal Aggarwal is likely to have more screen time in Indian 3. It is well known that audiences reacted negatively to Indian 2 upon its release. According to recent reports, Indian 3 will be released directly on OTT in January 2025. Netflix is in talks with the producers, Lyca Productions. However, no formal announcement has been made regarding this. In fact, during the promotions of Indian 2, Kamal Haasan claimed that he favors Indian 3 over Indian 2 because it had a lot more to give the viewers.

Kamal Haasan plays Senapathy, a freedom fighter who becomes a vigilante to combat societal corruption. Indian 3 will feature Kamal Haasan, SJ Suryah, Kajal Agarwal, Siddharth, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and other actors. Following the disastrous performance of Indian 2, this is a sensible option for the film team as well.

GOAT, aka ‘The Greatest Of All Time,’ starring Vijay, premiered in theaters on September 5 and quickly became a commercial success. After storming the box office for over a month, ‘GOAT’ received a quick digital release and is now accessible for streaming on a Netflix digital platform. However, there was some uncertainty over the ‘GOAT’ digital version, as the film’s uncut version was reported to be available on OTT.

Many scenes were eliminated due to runtime difficulties. Fans and spectators were anxiously awaiting the release of the OTT version due to the expanded runtime. However, only theatrical versions were released on OTT.

‘GOAT’ director Venkat Prabhu clarified on social media, writing: “For director’s cut, a lot of VFX and finishing work are necessary!! So, I’ll talk to my producers @Ags_production about releasing it as deleted scenes or an expanded edit in the near future!!! Now, enjoy this version!!”.

This means that the uncut version will be uploaded at a later date or made available as deleted scenes on special occasions. Meanwhile, those who waited for the uncensored version of ‘GOAT’ are unhappy, and the wait continues.

NTR showed his stardom completely right from the midnight shows premiered. Fans and Audience wanted a grand success meet to celebrate the film’s success. But it looks like Devara success meet may have been cancelled by the team.

The distributor of the film, Naga Vamsi has clarified about this saying that they were unable to get permission to hold a success meet despite having no pre-release event for the film as well. He said that no permission was granted for them to conduct the success meet in outdoor locations due to the Dasara and Devi Navaratri festival celebrations.

Devara’s pre-release event was cancelled at the last moment due to the overflocking of the fans and audience at the event spot. It disappoints the fans and audience again to not have a success meet for Devara despite the film rocking the box office like anything.

Tollywood must back Samantha being fearless of Government

0

Telangana Minister, Konda Surekha today has ignited a major controversy by dragging in the divorce issue of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. She said that the divorce happened only due to the harrassment done upon Samantha by former Minister, KTR. This became an instant sensation on social media platforms. Netizens are now coming in support of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya as well. Apart from them, Tollywood must also back Samantha by being fearless of the Government.

Many celebrities from Tollywood have already started voicing their support for Samantha and Naga Chaitanya apart from Nagarjuna’s family. But the elite celebrities must also condemn the comments made by the Minister officially. They must act in a way that such incident mustn’t be repeated in the future. The celebrities must come up with a uniform condemnation of such baseless comments made by the Minister.

If this is taken lightly by the film Industry then they are indirectly inviting Politicians to speak anything about their private lives. This will also a send a bad message to the audience as well. Political mudslingings shouldn’t include film celebrities just for a larger attention. So, let’s hope that Samantha and Naga Chaitanya get a big support from Tollywood.
