Producer Walks Out of Atlee – Allu Arjun Movie

0

Atlee- Allu Arjun movie has become one of the most anticipated movie of Indian cinema. The film has been in news for its crazy combination and blockbuster casting. However, despite such massive buzz, the film has hit a roadblock quite early on in its journey.

Combination wise, this is a gigantic one as Atlee delivered a 1000 Cr film with Jawan and Allu Arjun delivered 1650 Cr grosser with Pushpa 2. For this collaboration producers should ideally have been in a rat race. However, the combo is facing to lock a producer due to massive budget quoted by Atlee.

Atlee signed his next film with Sun Pictures long back. As a production house, Sun Pictures are very practical about movie planning and budgets. Atlee first tried to rope in Allu Arjun and then moved to Salman Khan and again back to Allu Arjun. Just as the casting was finalised, the budget negotiations with Sun Pictures did not work and they have now exited the project.

Now negotiations are on with Dil Raju but we are not certain if he would take this up as he recently faced a massive failure with Game Changer. Atlee – Allu Arjun film’s budget is estimated to be more than 600 Cr budget. The main reason for this is Atlee demanding 100 Cr remuneration and Allu Arjun would demand more than 200 Cr.

Pan- India market is a tricky one and one can’t be sure about what would work. We recently saw many massive combos which failed to deliver big numbers at the box-office. On top of that, the OTT market is also in decline and satellite has completely gone low.

To satisfy these budgets, the film must collect a 700 Cr – 800 Cr gross at minimum so there will be a lot of risk involved.

Due to recent bad experiences producers do not want to go onto sets with just combination. With huge risk involved, calculations have become very important. Adding to this, in case of pan-India biggies, film’s estimated budget will be way different than final budget and Atlee is one among those who never compromises on quality and always wants every shot in the grandest manner.

It needs to be seen how this project finally works out. The plan is to announce the film on Bunny’s birthday on April 8th and in this mean time all these negotiations needs to be happen. Allu Arjun is very interested to do this film with Atlee and has even put Trivikram on hold for this film.

Sikandar starring Salman Khan is directed by A.R. Murugadoss. The film had a massive hype because of this combo, but the Teaser that was released recently didn’t live up to the expectations. Fans and Audience were again disappointed with the first Single, Zohra Jabeen. The team has now released the first single, Bam Bam Bhole.

Composed by Pritam, Bam Bam Bhole has been received well by the fans and audience, now indicating the first positive asset for the film. The song and music were energetic and colorful throughout, also working for the mass audience in a big way. The song also featured Kajal Aggarwal, revealing her look officially from the film. Rashmika also made an appearance in the song alongside Salman Khan.

Sikandar is scheduled for release on Eid’s weekend, and if the Trailer clicks well then the stage will be set up well for the film. Director A.R. Murugadoss expects to bounce back with the film after a dull phase in the recent past years. He also has Madharasi, starring Siva Karthikeyan.

SSMB29, Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film, has made Odisha’s Koraput district globally popular. The shooting of SSMB29 has already started amidst tight security arrangements in Odisha’s Koraput. Meanwhile, the government of Odisha coined the Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu film as a game-changer for Odisha tourism.

Odisha Deputy CM Pravati Parida on Tuesday welcomed all film industries to explore Odisha’s potential. The Deputy CM also assured full support and world-class infrastructure.

“Before, Pushpa-2 in Malkangiri, and now, renowned director SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film SSMB29, starring South superstars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, along with internationally acclaimed actress Priyanka Chopra, is being shot in Koraput, proving that Odisha has a wealth of cinematic landscapes for film shooting,” tweeted Odisha Deputy CM.

Also, the Odisha state government has increased security because some videos and clips from the filming location got out. They have sent more security personnel to manage the crowd and prevent people from entering restricted areas. Truly, the Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu film is a game-changer for Odisha tourism.

Rajamouli is shooting scenes in the beautiful hills of Deomali, which is the tallest peak in Odisha. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who joined the sets of SSMB29 (tentatively titled) in Odisha on Tuesday afternoon, shared her experience on her official Instagram account.

Priyanka’s posts on social media have created a buzz among her fans. She shared her trip to Odisha on Instagram, showing a glimpse from an airplane window with a beautiful aerial view.

0

After a good opening weekend, Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava holds well on weekdays too in Telugu. It has been placed as the No. 1 preferred movie for audiences. Chhaava Telugu Day 5 Box Office Collections are too good.

Since its release in Hindi on February 14, the Telugu audiences wanted the Telugu version’s release, and the makers of the film responded by releasing it in Telugu on March 7. If it had been released simultaneously in Telugu on the same day as the original release, it could have done much better at the Telugu box office.

Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava Telugu Day 5 Box Office Collections:

Day 1 – 3 Cr
Day 2 – 3.8 Cr
Day 3 – 2.65 Cr
Day 4 – 1.45 Cr
Day 5—1 Cr

For 5 days, this historical drama collected a total of 11.9 Cr gross in Telugu, and it is expected to do more than 20 Cr gross in a full run.

Chhaava: Unprecedented Run at the Box Office

Chhaava has been doing really well at the box office overall, and there are no big movies challenging it. John Abraham’s new film, The Diplomat, is coming out on March 14, but so far, it doesn’t seem like it will be tough competition for Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava.

Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava to arrive on OTT in April

The film is expected to arrive on OTT in April. Chhaava is a movie directed by Laxman Utekar and made by Maddock Films. It features important roles played by Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta.

No Trivikram Film Till 2027

0

Guntur Kaaram was released in January 2024, and it has been more than a year since that time, and still, Trivikram is working on the script and pre-production works for Allu Arjun’s project. The film was expected to go on sets soon, but looking at the recent developments, there can be no Trivikram film till 2027.

As per plan AA, Trivi’s fourth film was to go on sets this month, but due to Allu Arjun and Atlee’s commitment, it was moved further. The Pushpa 2 actor is said to be planning to start Atlee’s film first, and after a few months, he will start Trivikram’s film’s work in parallel.

Trivikram needs to wait for a while to work with Allu Arjun

With this, Trivikram cannot concentrate on other films, too, as he needs to wait for AA. Reality will always be different from the plan. Atlee also takes a lot of time for shooting, as he always sets things very big, and his films need a huge number of dates from the lead hero.

Also, the team of Allu Arjun also confirms the film with Atlee will be a single-star film, and no other hero will be a part of this. So Allu Arjun needs to allocate a huge number of dates for the film.

Trivikram – Allu Arjun Film can go till 2028

Even though Bunny is planning to start Trivikram’s film this year-end, in reality, it will take until 2026 to start the film. To finish the film with all the works, it will easily go to the end of 2027. So Trivikram fans need to wait at least 2 years from now to see his film.

There are chances that the Trivikram-Allu Arjun film can go for a 2028 release also, as it is a very high-budget film and needs a lot of VFX work. It is the 1st historical film for Trivikram, so things will take more time than expected.
