Naga Chaitanya’s latest film, Thandel is slated for release worldwide on 7th February. The team is currently busy in promotional activities and the pre-release event was also conducted yesterday amid the presence of the cast and crew. The team is also planning for hiked ticket prices in Telugu States.

It is learnt that the team is going ahead with no hikes in Telangana, and the film will have the usual prices of ₹295 for multiplexes and ₹175 for Single Screens. The bookings have already opened here, and coming to AP, the team has applied for a hike of ₹50 for both multiplexes and single screens. The current prices for multiplex are ₹177 and ₹144 for Single Screen. A G.O. is also expected from the Government regarding the hike shorty.

The bookings are also delayed because of the same reason.

Thandel has to achieve around 40 crores share in Telugu States for the breakeven.

Mixed response for Prabhas’ look from Kannappa

0

Tollywood Actor Prabhas came on board for the film Kannappa, starring Manchu Vishnu in a cameo appearance. The role was also teased in the film’s Teaser, which was released long ago. Fans and Audiences have been waiting eagerly to witness his look and performance from another periodical backdrop film. The makers have finally released today the first look of the Actor revealing the name of the character he is playing in the film. But, surprisingly, his look has received mixed response.

Prabhas was seen in the role of a sage named Rudra. The divine appearance of Lord Shiva behind him also added a mythological feel to the character. However, this look of Prabhas drew a mixed response from netizens who felt Prabhas didn’t look striking. Some of them also trolled Prabhas depicting him as a misfit for the role. Memes have also been made comparing him with many sage roles played by funny characters of various films. While others felt Prabhas looked good and carried mythological appeal.

This is surprising for both the makers and the audience. Prabhas was thought to be playing the role of Lord Shiva initially, but this was denied by the makers later, which also had Akshay Kumar playing it. So, many wondered what role Prabhas was playing in the film and also waited anxiously. But this mixed response is really disappointing to see. But we can expect more from his character when the film is released. So, this is not the end. Rudra will surely have more to offer than this first look in the film.

0

The pre-release event of Thandel took place yesterday with Dil Raju gracing the event. While talking about Dil Raju, Thandel producer Allu Aravind made a playful remark on how he created a sensation in one week recently.

Allu Aravind said that Dil Raju saw a low point with one film and a higher point with another film. In addition to that he faced and came out of income tax raids. Allu Aravind pointed out that all these events happened in a gap of just one week.

There have been continuous satires on Game Changer and Allu Aravind is the latest to make one. Everyone is pointing out Dil Raju’s massive recovery with Sankranthiki Vasthunam and how Game Changer almost sank him.

While Sankranthiki Vasthunam’s success is great news for everyone, Mega fans are hurt over satire on Game Changer as this time it came directly from Allu Aravind.

Many feel that these statements while true, could have been made later and at a better occasion and not within a month of the release and massive debacle. Mega fans are of the opinion that as producers, everyone sees blockbusters and failures but one must not make such comments publicly

Sandeep Reddy shared that he has been a fan of Sai Pallavi since ‘Premam’ and had considered casting her in ‘Arjun Reddy’. However, he was informed by a coordinator that she does not prefer highly romantic films. He added that while he expected her stance to change for bigger opportunities, she has remained firm in her choices, which he finds extraordinary.


Sai Pallavi responded with grace, stating that she was unaware of any such conversation and that the opportunity never reached her. She further praised ‘Arjun Reddy’, calling it a cult film where Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey perfectly fit their roles.

Her choices in films have always created a strong buzz, especially when she takes on love-centric roles. A recent example is ‘Amaran’, where her presence significantly boosted its performance in Telugu states.

Her combination with Naga Chaitanya, along with the film’s gripping storyline, is expected to bring audiences to theatres in large numbers.
