0

An interesting rumor has been doing the rounds in the Telugu film industry circles that Anushka’s Arundhati Hindi remake is on the cards, with Sreeleela being considered for the lead role.

The project will be presented by Geetha Arts and directed by Thani Oruvan fame Mohan Raja. As of now, the news is not official, but if all things go well, then it will be the biggest challenge for Sree Leela, as Anushka delivered an iconic performance, and her screen presence in Arundhati is unmatchable.

So, Sreeleela has a huge and tough task to lead the Hindi remake of Arundhati, as she has not played such a powerful character until now. We need to wait to see how much she can match up to Anushka. Definitely, this is her biggest chance to show her acting capabilities, but it is not easy to live up to the expectations as well.

0

Mahesh Babu’s Murari 4K and Khaleja 4K are record rerelease grossers in Tollywood with over 9 Cr gross. Now, Baahubali: The Epic crosses this gross with just pre-sales alone, and creates history.

The opening day pre-sales of Rajamoli’s masterpiece have crossed 9 Cr, including the premieres, and the good thing is that the movie is carrying good advances for the weekend as well. 

Hyderabad City is carrying record advances for the opening day, and it is already at 2.25 Cr, which is on par with a crazy tier 2 star film’s release

Baahubali: The Epic creates history at the box office as it becomes the record re-release grosser with pre-sales alone, and it will definitely receive a massive opening in Telugu.

But we need to see how it trends in other languages. The film is re-releasing in all languages, and if the film sees a momentum in all languages, definitely there is a chance of the film achieving the record of first-ever 100 Cr milestone in re-releases.
