0

Tollywood Producer Dil Raju and few celebrities of Tollywood as a delegation met Telangana CM Revanth Reddy today. The meeting got prominence amid the Government and the CM’s stern stand against Allu Arjun who was recently jailed for a stampede incident which resulted in the cancellation of benefit shows and ticket hikes for further films. The celebs expected the CM to concede but they got a shock in return with no signs of assurance. But Surprisingly, Dil Raju says that benefit shows and ticket hikes are not important for them.

Dil Raju said that they don’t care about the benefit shows or ticket hikes when several other issues had to be dealt first as reminded by the CM. With this statement, the Producer has really shocked everyone. This means that his upcoming film, Game Changer wouldn’t get any benefit shows or ticket hikes in Telangana causing a big loss to him personally. The meeting which was even scheduled for the same hasn’t yielded fruitful results and feels unnecessary one now.

This statement of Dil Raju really sounded interesting. The Producer or the team should only hope of getting a great positive response for a good run. If the film secures a negative response, the film then has to take a big beating without the presence of ticket hikes. Let alone, the opening day and weekend records which can only be possible with these ticket hikes.

Game Changer needs 100 Cr in Hindi to Succeed. It is widely known that Ram Charan’s next film, Game Changer, is directed by Shankar. Due to multiple delays during the filming, the movie went overbudget and Shankar’s films often go on overbudget because of his lavish making style.

The film needs to collect 300 Cr theatrical share for its producer, Dil Raju to be in a good position. There is a high possibility fpr the film to do 200 Cr share worldwide in Telugu. In Tamil with the help of Shankar’s brand, it can go beyond 50 Cr gross and 25 Cr share. To cross the 300 Cr breakeven mark, the film must need a strong collection from the North India, and it gather at least 100 Cr net in Hindi. Game Changer needs 100 Cr in Hindi to Succeed.

If the Hindi version manages to collect more than 100 Cr net, Tamil has to do more than 50 Cr gross, while the Telugu version has to go more than 200 Cr share worldwide which will put Dil Raju in a breakeven position. If Game Changer collects more than the expected numbers, it will be a profitable venture for the producer. In short, Game Changer should beat Salaar’s worldwide [600 Cr gross] total to achieve breakeven for Dil Raju.

Sukumar faces heat for Pushpa 2. While talking about Allu Arjun’s Sandhya Theatre tragedy, everyone is criticizing the film’s content. It is widely known that an unfortunate incident on December 4th during the Pushpa 2 premiere show has been a piece of news for everyone. 

During this argument, many opine that Pushpa 2 has glamorous songs and it consists sof cenes that disrespect the police and government officials by showing a smuggler as ruler. All the politicians criticize Sukumar for making such kind of a film. Sukumar faces heat for Pushpa 2.

If we look at the commercial perspective, Pushpa 2 is a big success, and it collected close to 1500 Cr gross for 3 weeks which is a sensational feat. However, on the content side, the film satisfied Hindi audiences only, while the South audiences especially Telugu people felt it was the weakest work of Sukumar. Everyone was surprised by the fact that for the first time, Sukumar went completely on a regular commercial path without any surprising elements and with no proper storytelling or finishing. 

Definitely a director like Sukumar not only needs money for the film, but he also needs the appreciation for his work. Normally he gets good appreciation for every film irrespective of his films’ result. But Pushpa 2 is commercially a blockbuster but it brought unexpected criticism for Sukumar.
