Peddi Team Confident: The Paradise Will Postpone Its Release

0

Ram Charan’s upcoming film, Peddi’s Glimpse, was out yesterday, and it received a unanimous positive response. The film’s release date was also announced, and it will clash with The Paradise, starring Nani. The Peddi team is confident that The Paradise will postpone its release.

Peddi and The Paradise: Both Announce Same Release Date/Weekend

The makers of Peddi announced that the film will be released on March 27, 2026. Natural Star Nani also announced that his next film with Srikanth Odela will be released on March 26, 2026. So, this led to an interesting discussion among cinephiles and industry circles about the box office clash between the two movies.

The Paradise is not only a big-budget film in Nani’s career, but the budget of the film is almost on par with biggies, which means it is the biggest-budget film in tier 2 heroes. The team released a stunning glimpse with announcing 26th March 2026 as a pan-Indian release and in a few international languages as well.

Peddi Team believes that The Paradise Team will postpone

Even after this announcement, the Peddi team officially announced their release date of 27th March 2026 with the first shot/glimpse in all Indian languages. Now, in the industry, there is a buzz that Ram Charan’s Peddi team is confident that The Paradise will postpone its release.

Nani’s The Paradise Shoot Not Started Yet

Because the shooting of the Nani-Odela movie has not started yet, it will take a few more days to go on set. As it is being made on a big scale, finishing all the work and releasing the movie on the planned date will be an impossible task.

Whereas Peddi started shooting last year itself, and the unit completed a few schedules of shooting. Around 25% of the shoot is already completed, and it is set to complete the entire shoot by this year. So, it will definitely arrive on the planned release date.

Also, if we look from the industry’s point of view, the clash will not happen at any cost, as both films will be affected by the competition.

Mythri Limits Good Bad Ugly and Jaat Scope

0

Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly and Sunny Deol’s JAAT are two big-budget films that are set to be released this Thursday. Both the films also have good craze in Telugu apart from their original language. However, Mythri limits Good Bad Ugly and Jaat’s scope to a single language.

Mythri Movies Failed to Utilize the Hype of Good Bad Ugly and JAAT

Normally, when Mythri movies make big-budget films, everyone expects they will be pan-Indian films and will have a great release in Telugu, but surprisingly, Mythri limits both Good Bad Ugly and Jaat’s scope to Tamil and Hindi only.

Sunny Deol’s JAAT not releasing in Telugu

JAAT is directed by Telugu director Gopichand Malineni and produced by Telugu producers Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory. Thaman is the music director. But still, the team is not releasing the film in Telugu and limits it only to Hindi, which is certainly a shocking thing.

Even though Sunny Deol does not have the market in Telugu, with all the popular names, Thaman, Gopichand Malineni, and producers, and a mass genre that could have provided some good collections with good promotions, the team just limits it to Hindi.

Mythri does bad promotions for Good Bad Ugly in Telugu

The same goes with Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly. The team said first it would be released as a pan-Indian film in Telugu and Hindi as well, but still, the trailer itself was not released in Telugu and Hindi. 

In Telugu, there is a good potential for the film at the box office; Ajith is somewhat of a known face, and director Adhik’s previous project, Mark Antony, was a super success in Telugu. Even with all these, the team does not focus on Telugu markets.

Two potential pan-Indian films are being limited to a single language, and normally, the Mythri group is always known for taking risks and breaking the boundaries, but with these two big movies, they failed to do so, surprisingly

The makers of the film, Sun Pictures, stated that it will be a magnum opus and one of the biggest projects in Indian cinema, which will be announced this Tuesday, marking Allu Arjun’s birthday. 

Allu Arjun – Atlee’s Film: An International Film with a Massive Scale

Normally, when anyone listens to the combination of Atlee and Allu Arjun, they will expect it will be another massive pan-Indian film, but it is being said that the actor and director are collaborating for an international spectacle, and Icon StAAr Allu Arjun’s first international venture is confirmed with Atlee.

AA22 Announcement with a Video

As said above, the announcement of the film will be made on Pushpa actor’s birthday, and the team will announce it as a global film with a video. The latest social media sensation, Sai Abhyankkar, will compose the music for the film.

The film’s pre-production works are in full swing, and it will take much more time to go on sets. Allu Arjun, for the first time, plays a dual role in the film, and the director Atlee is on for a big experiment with this film, and unlike his regular mass films, this film will have some different world concept.

Lyca Productions, one of the big banners in South Indian cinema, is in a bad phase as it has seen continuous and very big failures. A few months ago, there was a strong report that the production house was shelved. However, the latest reports suggest that Lyca Productions is set for a strong revival.

Lyca Productions faces huge losses with recent films

As said above, the production house faced crores of losses with recent films, which led to the buzz that Lyca is planning to shelve the production by completing committed films. Indian 3, along with Sundeep Kishan under Vijay’s son’s directorial. It was said that the banner would not produce any movies after these films.

Lyca Productions: All Set for a Big Comeback

But the latest news is that Lyca is not going anywhere; Lyca Productions is set for a strong revival. The production company is said to be in talks with stars who have worked with them in recent times, and there are very good chances of compensation projects with those stars. 

With 2 Point 0, Lal Salam, and Vettaiyan, Lyca Productions faced losses, so a project with Rajinikanth is under discussion. Even the big sequel, Indian 2, gave very big losses to the team, so it is said to have asked Kamal Haasan to complete Indian 3 under a reasonable budget along with another compensation project.

Can Lyca Productions Make a Comeback?

Ajith’s Vidaamuyarchi also caused big losses to Lyca, so the same compensation project is said to be in plans with the star also. The stars are also likely to do films with Lyca as their situation is bad, but the production house should be careful about their next projects to sustain and revive in the film industry.

0

Salman Khan’s latest action drama, Sikandar, has failed to impress even his fans, and it is heading towards a big failure at the box office. Surprisingly, the film could not even reach the three-digit figure. Sikandar’s Box Office Collections crashed in the 2nd weekend, and it is set to close under 100 Cr in its full run.

Sikandar could not reach the expectations

When the film’s announcement came, it received a good buzz because of the director Murugadoss’s name and the release date being Eid; everyone expected it would be a revival project for both Salman Khan and Murugadoss.

However, as the promotional content started to come out, the film’s buzz got killed, which resulted in poor openings, and the film also opened with unanimous negative reviews. On Sunday and the following EID holiday, the movie somehow put up decent numbers, but after that, it completely saw a downfall.

On the 2nd weekend, the film did not pick up and completely crashed at the box office. For the 1st week, the film just collected 85 Cr net in India, and there is no chance for the film to go past 100 Cr.

Probably today will be the last day for the film at the box office. The fans and trade circles are in shock as Salman Khan’s Sikandar’s Box Office Collections crash in the 2nd weekend, and it is set to close under 100 Cr in its full run.
