Coolie, Leo Does Not Impact Lokesh Kanagaraj Remuneration

With Vikram, Lokesh Kanagaraj shook the Indian film industry by introducing the universe concept to Indian cinema, and though he faced some backlash for his recent films, his remuneration has not been affected and he also lands a big opportunity.

After Vikram, Lokesh emerged as the number one director in Tamil cinema and became one of the biggest brands in the industry. Because of his strong brand value, even though Leo and Coolie did not fully satisfy audiences, both films still collected more than ₹500 crore worldwide and became among the highest-grossing films in Kollywood.

Lokesh Kanagaraj remains in high demand and gets a massive remuneration for his upcoming project

After Coolie, he was expected to work on Kaithi 2, but he moved away from the project for unknown reasons. He also tried to set up another film with Rajinikanth, but that project did not materialise. Around the same time, Lokesh Kanagaraj received a big opportunity when Allu Arjun showed interest in working with him. According to industry buzz, Lokesh narrated the full script to Allu Arjun, who was impressed with it.

The film will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The latest buzz is that Lokesh Kanagaraj is charging the highest remuneration of his career for this project. He reportedly received ₹50 crore for Coolie, and for the Allu Arjun film, he is said to be charging around ₹75 crore.

The Raja Saab Brings 92 Ticket Offer in First Week Itself

The Raja Saab is doing an extremely disastrous performance in Hindi, which has shocked everyone. Prabhas has a good market in North India, but this film did not have any pre-release buzz, and the reviews were also not that great.

The film has collected 6 Cr nett on the opening day, and on day 2 it goes to 5 Cr, and on day 3 it goes to the 4 Cr range in India. With this, the film has no chance to do even 50 Cr nett in a full run.

With such a disastrous performance in Hindi, the team of The Raja Saab opted for the 92 rs ticket offer for the Hindi version in the 1st week itself. This offer will be valid for the 13th of January only, and that is exclusive for North India.

It is noteworthy that the Bollywood blockbuster Dhurandar chose this offer in its sixth week, while Prabhas’ The Raja Saab opted for it in its first week due to its disappointing box office collections.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Shows Blockbuster Trend With Rising Collections

There were some doubts on Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s release date and box office performance; with the Bhogi festival coming on Wednesday and the movie getting released on Monday, the trade expected a lot of concerns on the film’s opening. 

Generally, weekday and pre-festival releases will definitely get impacted, but Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu clears all doubts as it receives an extraordinary opening day at the box office. The collections and occupancy showed a jump with each show.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Set for a Massive Festival Weekend

This is a blockbuster trend, and that too, the film performing at such a level during the pre-festival period is a fantastic feat. It looks like a large number of special morning shows need to be allocated from the festival day to meet the demand.

From Wednesday to Sunday the movie will have massive collections and will see huge overflows in theaters.

Krithi Shetty’s First Tamil Film Finally Releasing in Theatres

Actress Krithi Shetty’s first Tamil film, Vaa Vaathiyaar, starring Karthi, has faced a lot of troubles, and finally, the film is getting released in theaters on January 14, 2026, as a Pongal gift for Tamil cinema audiences. 

Krithi made a grand debut in Tollywood with Uppena but failed to maintain big stardom for a long time with continuous failures. After that, she put big hopes on Kollywood. Even though she received good offers and completed 3 films in the Tamil film industry, the films kept continuously postponing the release.

Can Krithi Shetty achieve success in Tamil cinema?

Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar, Pradeep Ranganathan’s LIK, and Jayam Ravi’s Genie are all these three films. Kriti is the main lead, but the movie’s theatrical release has been continuously postponed.

Finally, Krithi Shetty’s first Tamil film, Vaa Vaathiyaar, is hitting theaters on 14th January, clearing all legal hurdles.

The Major Blunder of The Raja Saab

The Major Blunder of The Raja Saab

Initially, Prabhas wanted to do The Raja Saab as a small-budget film to compensate People’s Media Factory for the losses faced during the distribution of his previous films. The original idea was to make a simple horror entertainer with director Maruthi, similar to Prema Katha Chitram.

Horror entertainers usually take place in a house or one main location, so they do not need a big budget or long shooting schedules. Horror is also a universal genre that can work well across regions and languages.

The Raja Saab team made a major mistake by transforming it into a big-budget film.

But after the big success of Salaar and Kalki, the team got carried away. They decided to turn the project into a large-scale film, changing it from a simple horror entertainer into a horror fantasy. Some already-shot portions were even scrapped, and the project was restarted on a much bigger scale. This decision turned out to be a major mistake.

Had The Raja Saab been made as a simple horror entertainer with a small-budget, it could have worked well in all languages without the need for grand visuals or huge scale. But because of this change in approach, the budget increased, shooting days increased, and the film’s finances went out of control.

Maruthi Failed to Handle the Big Idea with The Raja Saab

The story also suffered in the process. Maruthi struggled to handle such a complex and large-scale project. If the film had remained a simple horror entertainer, which is his strength, he could have delivered a much better result. One wrong decision ended up putting the entire project at risk.

The concepts of hallucination and hypnotism, along with the climax featuring a mind game between the hero and his grandfather’s ghost, held promise but ultimately failed to resonate with audiences due to poor execution.

Shocking Incident in Hyderabad: Fan Dies While Watching Chiranjeevi’s Film

A tragic incident occurred amid the blockbuster celebrations of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, as a man reportedly died of a heart attack while watching the movie at Arjun Theatre in Kukatpally, Hyderabad.

The incident took place on Monday during the film’s screening, when the theatre was filled with enthusiastic fans. According to initial reports, the man suddenly collapsed inside the theatre in which Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu was being screened. Despite immediate efforts, he showed no response.

The theatre staff alerted the police, who arrived at the spot soon after. Police suspect that the man died due to a cardiac arrest. Further investigation is currently underway, and the exact cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem report is released.

The sudden tragedy cast a shadow over the otherwise celebratory atmosphere surrounding the film’s release.

The Raja Saab 1st Weekend Area Wise Gross Collections

Despite Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s premieres getting screened yesterday, the 1st weekend of The Raja Saab ended on a decent note, as the film was able to gather considerable numbers in Telugu states on Sunday.

Here are the details of The Raja Saab 1st Weekend Gross Collections

  • Andhra(6 Territories) : 45 Cr
  • Telangana: 38 Cr
  • Ceeded : 12 Cr
  • Karnataka: 13 Cr
  • TN+Kerala: 3 Cr
  • ROI : 19 Cr
  • Overseas: 31 Cr ($3.45M)
  • Worldwide: 161 Cr

As said above, the Andhra and Telangana states did provide some respectable numbers for The Raja Saab in the 1st weekend despite below-par WOM and reviews, whereas the rest of India and overseas areas were very poor.

Overall, the film sees a below-par weekend with just 40% recovery, and it needs a super strong festival week to get the much-required recovery for buyers. Let us wait and watch how the film fare at the box office in the coming days.

Kamal Haasan Wins Legal Battle Over Personality Rights

On Monday, January 12, the Madras High Court provided significant relief to actor-politician Kamal Haasan in the personality rights case by prohibiting the unauthorized use of his image and commercial merchandising.

The court concluded that Kamal, who holds a position in the Rajya Sabha, successfully argued for immediate relief on a strong preliminary basis, stressing the need to shield his dignity and business interests from unauthorized digital interference.

Madras High Court Grants Kamal Haasan Personality Rights

Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy of Madras Court ordered the respondents to stop producing or sharing misleading images of Kamal Haasan and prohibited them from selling any merchandise featuring his likeness or name without permission.

” Respondents are restrained from creating false images of the plaintiff and depicting the same through any media until the next date of hearing. Respondents are also restrained from selling merchandise wearing the plaintiff’s image or name, including screen names attributed to the plaintiff, without the plaintiff’s consent or endorsement until the next date of hearing,” the court noted.

The Raja Saab 1st Weekend Collections

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab opened with a strong opening at the box office, collecting over ₹100 crore worldwide on its first day, with the total being around ₹103 crore, and the film completes its first weekend with a moderate total.

The film saw a decline on Day 2, collecting about ₹34 crore gross, followed by a further drop on Day 3 with approximately ₹24 crore. With this, the total worldwide gross of The Raja Saab for the opening weekend stands at around ₹160 crore.

Considering the film’s business value, this is a below-par weekend performance. The movie has recovered only about 40% of its breakeven target, which is around ₹400 crore. The biggest concern is that collections from other language versions are very weak, including Hindi, which is contributing minimal numbers.

After the weekend, there is little hope for significant collections from non-Telugu versions. From now on, the film will have to depend mainly on the Telugu version for its collections. To reach breakeven, it still needs to collect around ₹250 crore more, which looks practically impossible. Even with festival support, it remains to be seen how much the film can collect in the coming days.
