Akhil’s Next Big Project Shooting Silently

After a big failure like Agent, Akhil took a very long break before starting his new film. He was supposed to do another big-budget film under UV Creations with a debut director, but the agent’s result put him in a difficult situation and changed his mind. The latest news is that Akhil’s next big project has silently started its shooting.

Akhil is already shooting for his next film under Nagarjuna’s Production

Nagarjuna was involved full-time in selecting his son’s next project and finalized Vinaro Bhagyam Vishnu Katha director Murali Krishna, and the film will be produced by Nag. However, the team did not make any official announcement on the film, and even the shooting is also said to have started a long time ago.

To play CCL, Akhil reportedly took a break from the shoot and returned to the sets again in Hyderabad. The Akkineni fans will indeed be surprised by the fact that Akhil’s next big project has silently started its shooting.

Akhil’s Next Film Announcement on his Birthday

The official announcement is likely to arrive on Akhil’s birthday [8th April] with a teaser or glimpse. The fans want a massive comeback from Akkineni Akhil with this film, and it is also said to be a mass entertainer with Sree Leela playing the lead actress.

Court and Dilruba OTT streaming partners

Court and Dilruba were released today in a clash. While Court opened with very positive word of mouth and reviews and had a good start, Dilruba opened with poor numbers and below-par reviews. With this, Court is surely set to become the box office winner unanimously. For Dilruba, the Audience must come in a large number this weekend to see a positive result.

Now, coming to the OTT digital rights, Court’s rights were bought by Netflix for a fancy amount. It will have a 4 week theatrical window period before arriving on the platform. Whereas, Dilruba’s digital rights were bagged by Aha Video and it may also stream earlier than 4 weeks theatrical window.

Kiran Abbavaram, who saw relief with his previous venture, KA, has gone back to the struggling stage. The team of Dilruba expressed big confidence, but everything fell short now.

Vishnu Reveals Two Major Updates on Prabhas in Kannappa

Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa is slated for a 25th April release. The team is doing good promotions with continuous events in all areas. It has also released two teasers and two songs, and Vishnu has started media interviews. The fans of Prabhas are delighted as Vishnu reveals two major updates on Prabhas in Kannappa during a promotional interview.

Manchu Vishnu shares an exciting update about Prabhas’s character in Kannappa

For most audiences, Prabhas is the most exciting factor in the film as he is the biggest star. Manchu Vishnu said that Prabhas did not charge any remuneration for the film; he just did it out of love for Mohan Babu.

Another surprising update is about the length of Prabhas’s character. Everyone expected that the Baahubali actor would have a small cameo presence with around 5 minutes of screen time. But Manchu Vishnu revealed two major updates on Prabhas in Kannappa and said that he will have around 30 minutes of screen time in the film.

Kannappa is slowly getting the required hype

This will definitely add more excitement to the film. Also, not only Prabhas but also actors like Mohanlal and Akshay Kumar do not appear as just cameos, and they have good screen time. Also, Manchu Vishnu revealed that Mohanlal’s war episode would be a shocking one.

Kannappa’s biggest hype factor is its star cast, and the two songs that have been released from the film have worked in favor of the film. If the trailer clicks well, then the film will have a very good start at the box office.

From Success to Setback: Kiran Abbavaram’s Dilruba Faces Tough Times

After a series of failures, Hero Kiran Abbavaram’s KA opened strongly at the box office while competing with big-budget films like Amaran and Lucky Baskhar. In some centers, it even opened as No. 1 in that triangular battle. However, Kiran Abbavaram’s latest film, Dilruba, faces tough times at the theaters.

After scoring a sensational blockbuster with KA, the actor’s latest romantic drama, Dilruba, faced competition from a smaller film, Court, but it struggled to achieve minimum occupancy in the theaters and even failed to recover theatrical rents in many areas.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Dilruba: Poor Openings at the Box Office

Whereas the court opens with around 8 Cr gross, which is a sensational start. The trade circles are also in shock as Kiran Abbavaram’s latest film, Dilruba, faces tough times at the theaters.

This is how content makes a difference, and nowadays, form does not help a film’s openings, and only the pre-release content should excite the audiences, and later, the film’s content comes into the picture.

However, Dilruba failed to excite with its pre-release content, as the songs, teaser, and trailer did not strike a chord with audiences. Now, the movie’s content is also bad, failing the film.

Basil Joseph Shines Again: Ponman Now Streaming on OTT in Telugu

Basil Joseph is one of the actors who has created a very large fanbase in other languages, too, with a continuous good selection of films. After scoring a blockbuster with Sookshmadarshini, he came up with another good film, Ponman, which is now streaming on OTT in Telugu.

Ponman: The Latest Hit of Basil Joseph is now Streaming on Jio Hotstar

Made as a comedy-drama, Ponman is available for streaming now on Jio Hotstar in all languages, including Telugu. The movie achieved good success upon its theatrical release, and the critics felt that though the movie was made with a simple storyline, the screenplay was engaging with a mix of laughs and emotions.

Basil Joseph’s performance especially received an exceptional response. The film will be a good watch for Telugu audiences this weekend. The netizens on social media are already excited, as Basil Joseph’s Ponman is now streaming on OTT in Telugu.

Directed by Jotish Shankar, the film also stars Sajin Gopu, Lijomol Jose, and Anand Manmadhan.  Ponman, based on GR Indugopan’s novel Nalanchu Cherupakkar, tells the story of a jewelry agent in Kollam who provides gold to brides in return for cash gifts.

Zee Telugu’s Mistake on Sankranthiki Vasthunam

Zee Telugu’s Mistake on Sankranthiki Vasthunam

As Zee Telugu had both digital and satellite rights, they experimented with Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh’s Sankranathiki Vasthunam by screening the television premiere and OTT premiere at the same time. Though this strategy worked well, Zee Telugu made a mistake with Sankranthiki Vasthunam.

Sankranthiki Vasthunam registers massive TRP

On OTT, the family entertainer delivers record numbers, and on television, it delivers a TRP of 15.92 and a TVR of 18.1, which is an extraordinary achievement, as no film has seen this range of TRP in recent years.

But the TRP could have even gone to the 20 range from 16 if Zee Telugu had screened the film on Sunday. The movie was screened on 1st March, Saturday, as on 2nd March there was a cricket match between India and NZ during the ICC Champions Trophy.

ZEE Telugu misses a trick with Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s Premiere

However, if the ZEE group had picked another week and screened the film on Sunday, then Sankranthiki Vasthunnam definitely had the potential to deliver a 20 TRP rating. But this golden chance was missed as Zee Telugu made a mistake with Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s premiere.

But still, it was a blockbuster experiment from the Zee group. If they had screened the film on Sunday evening, then certainly, the TRP could have been much bigger. Still, it worked in a good way, as Sankranthiki Vasthunnam opened the door for TRP ratings, and now we can expect many films to follow the same strategy.

Court Shocks Trade Circles with Sensational Day 1 Collections

Court, the latest movie from Nani’s Wallposter Cinema starring Priyadarshi in the lead role, had a superb start on its first day. The film received unanimous positive reviews from the paid premieres before its release, and Court shocked trade circles with sensational day 1 collections.

Court Movie has an extraordinary opening at the Box Office

For the star cast involved in the film, even though it is Nani’s production, the trade expected a 3-4 Cr range opening worldwide. However, to everyone’s surprise, the film opens with more than double the expected numbers. 

From premieres to opening day, the film has an excellent start in all territories, and the surprising thing is that it opens well in mass stations as well. In India, the early estimates for the day 1 collections are around 5 Cr gross, including premieres.

Court: State vs A Nobody: Biggest film in Nani’s Production

The overseas number is estimated to be around 3 Cr. With this, the film is expected to take an 8 Cr range opening at the box office, which is definitely a surprising one for the range of the film. Court shocks trade circles with sensational day 1 collections.

The advance bookings for tomorrow are also very promising, and Court: State Vs A Nobody is set for a very good weekend. The film will not only be a big blockbuster, but it will also be the highest blockbuster in Nani’s production films in terms of recovery and even content.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Birthday brings double disappointment

Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie Coolie’s teaser cut was completed back, and there have been many reports that it will be released on the director’s birthday, i.e., 14th March. However, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s birthday brings double disappointment.

The team of Coolie did not announce the release date of the film yet. So, everyone expected that the film’s teaser would be out today and that it would also reveal the release date. However, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s birthday brings double disappointment, as only working stills were released today, which did not satisfy the fans and audiences.

Reason for Coolie’s Teaser Delay:

As the makers of Coolie are yet to lock the release date, the reason for them doing so is they want a solo release at the pan-India level. But as of now, all the big dates of 2025 are already locked. So, this might be the reason for the team delaying the teaser.

The second disappointment—Kaithi 2 Delay

The second disappointment of Lokesh’s birthday is the missing update on the most awaited Kaithi sequel. Kaithi 2 is said to be delayed again, as it is being said that Lokesh might have to complete another film with Aamir Khan before Kaithi 2. 

This will definitely hurt the fans of LCU, as they eagerly awaited the Kaithi 2 release, but it is getting continuously postponed.

Kaithi 2 delayed once again

Kaithi, starring Karthi and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, became a blockbuster at the box office. The film was also made a part of the much famous LCU at the end of the film Vikram. Fans and Audience have been excited about the sequel of Kaithi 2 since then, but it got postponed due to the commitments of Lokesh Kanagaraj for Leo and Coolie.

It was reported recently that Kaithi 2 was planned to take off after the completion of Coolie. But it has been learned that Kaithi 2 has been postponed again to the disappointment of the fans and audience. Lokesh Kanagaraj is yet to make a decision about his next film after Coolie. It is rumoured that he may collaborate with Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan has already been cast for a guest appearance role in Coolie. Today, Aamir Khan celebrates his birthday and Lokesh Kanagaraj has wished him on the occasion on his X/Twitter handle. So, netizens believe that he may go on board with Aamir Khan for a film next. On the other hand, Karthi is already busy with multiple films this year. He has already started the dubbing works of his Sardar 2 and lined up #Karthi29 directed by Tamizh. So, Kaithi 2 can start only from 2026 summer.

Court – State vs A No Body Day 1 Box office: On fire with a double-digit potential

Court starring Priyadarshi started with a sensational start from the Premieres. In India, all the paid premieres registered housefulls and collected more than 50 Lakhs gross. In the USA, it opened with more than $150K premieres meaning that the worldwide premieres grossed more than 2 crores already.

The film released today and secured a unanimous positive review and word of mouth from the premieres. Netizens have also praised the content of the film. So, with a good review and Holiday advantage, court will see a very good jump in the collections. The film is also expected to register a double-digit opening day gross worldwide which is phenomenal for the genre and budget.

Court has already recovered the entire budget with the non-theatrical business. And now with the theatrical performance set for big numbers, Court is surely a jackpot for Nani. He will oversee many such films in the future with this success.
