0

For a few days, the news of the biggest film of Kollywood, combining Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan with Lokesh Kanagaraj, has been doing the rounds. Now, Kamal Haasan confirms that he is joining hands with Superstar Rajinikanth after 46 years on screen.

In the SIIMA event, the legendary actor Kamal gave a massive update to fans. “We already decided this long ago. You are the ones who have created a competition between us. This might be a surprise business-wise, but for us, it feels like something that should have happened long ago. At least it’s happening now; let it happen.”

After the Coolie release, a sudden buzz started that director Lokesh Kangaraj’s next film is not Kaithi 2, and it will be a multistarrer featuring Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth.

Now it’s officially confirmed, and certainly it becomes the biggest film from Kollywood because of the actor/director combo.

0

Malayalam superstar Mammootty has turned 74 years old today. The actor’s fans received a sweet surprise that he will play a crucial part in the Lokah Franchise, which is set to become the biggest one for Malayalam Cinema.

On his big day, Dulquer Salmaan, Mammootty’s son and the producer of this year’s blockbuster Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, announced his father’s involvement in the film. People are picking up on the idea that Mammootty is set to have a big role in the Wayfarer Cinematic Universe, which plans to drop at least 4 more films after Lokah. 

Dulquer posted a mysterious movie poster featuring a shadowy figure in a cape with a staff. Moothon, played by Mammootty, is the mysterious character.

Mammootty Confirmed to be a part of the Lokah Franchise

In the movie, Moothon popped up for just a quick cameo and had only one dialogue. Only a hand and voice appear; the character’s face remains unseen. Fans speculated widely, many believing it was Mammootty’s voice. 

Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is a big success: Four parts more to come from the Franchise

The Lokah universe now includes Mammootty and Dulquer, opening up chances for them to share the screen. Lokah’s team confirmed their superhero movie universe resembles Marvel’s, with all heroes uniting against the teased main villain. Alongside Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen Gafoor, Tovino Thomas is a confirmed star in the franchise.

0

Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira is the latest Malayalam film released in theaters with Lokah and Hridaya Pooravam for Onam. Kalyani Priyadarshan, who starred in Lokah, also plays the lead actress in this film alongside Fahadh Faasil. But he faces a big disaster at Onam with it. 

In the Onam battle, Lokah became the 1st preference for audiences, and it collected 165 Cr gross in 10 days. Next comes Hridayapooravam, which also does very well for the genre, collecting more than 55 Cr gross in 10 days worldwide.

Fahadh Faasil’s Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira emerges as a massive disaster at the box office

While the above-mentioned two films emerge as huge successes, Fahad Faasil’s film Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira crashes at the box office. The audiences did not even notice this film.

For 9 days the film has collected 2 Cr gross in Kerala, and the closing will not even cross 3 Cr, which says how big a disaster it is.

Directed by Althaf Salim, Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira is a romantic comedy centered on the quirky and offbeat romance between Aby and Nidhi, whose unusual wedding demand involving a horse sets off unexpected events and emotional journeys.

0

Teja Sajja and Karthik Gattamaneni’s Mirai has succeeded in creating a good amount of anticipation among audiences. The promotions are in full swing from the unit, and the film is also off to a flying start in USA Premiere Bookings. 

The promotional content worked very positively for this fantasy/adventure action drama and created organic buzz on the film. Also, the team is continuously doing promotions in all languages and states.

The Telugu pre-release event is happening tomorrow, 8th September, at Gokul Park in Vizag, and it is all set for a grand release in theaters on 12th September. Nowadays, for any film overseas, advances are deciding the movie buzz and craze.

Mirai USA Premiere Bookings – A Flying Start

In that aspect for Teja Sajja’s Mirai, it was a positive sign, as USA premiere pre-sales are already at $50K, which is a strong start set for a good opening. All advance bookings are expected to open by Tuesday.

Produced by People Media Factory, the film is definitely set to have a good opening in all territories at the box office.

Mokshagna Birthday Turns Dull

0

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s son, Mokshagna Teja’s debut as a hero has been the most awaited one for not only the fans but even regular audiences. However, there has been no clarity on this. With the latest birthday of Mokshagna also not having any update, the confusion still prevails about his debut. 

Everyone knows that the children carrying the father’s or family’s legacy in films or other industries is common. Now all six big Telugu stars from this generation are carrying their father’s or family’s legacy. Normally all these stars’ sons debuted in the industry at a very early age and got to stardom before their 30s.

Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna entered his 32nd year yesterday but still has not debuted in the industry. The disappointing part is that his debut film has not started at all. Every year the fans and audiences are waiting for the updates, but they end up with disappointment.

Last year, the debut film of Balakrishna’s son with Prashanth Varma was announced, but it was shelved. There was a buzz that Krish might introduce Mokshagna with Aditya 999 Max, and Balayya will also be a part of this film.

However, there is no update about it yet, and after Ghaati’s release, even Nandamuri fans suggest Balakrishna go with another director than Krish.

Even on this Mokshagna birthday, also, there is no update about his launch film, leaving fans disappointed.

OG’s Biggest Advantage

0

Pawan Kalyan’s OG is gearing up for a release on 25th September, and the craze is phenomenal already; overseas advances are an example of that. Along with the humongous hype, the film also has one big advantage at the box office. 

The team is likely to start to promote the film in all languages from this week. The promotional content that has been released till now has set the movie as the most anticipated and craziest film.

The additional factors, like Akhanda 2 getting postponed, added another advantage, and there is a buzz that the Pan Indian movie, Kantara 2, might get postponed, and if it happens for real, then it will be another huge plus for “They Call Him OG.”

The Dearth of Big Hits this year can be the biggest advantage for Pawan Kalyan’s OG

The biggest advantage for the film was that all sections of audiences did not come to theaters after the Sankrantiki Vasthunam movie. Not even a single film has collected 100 Cr share till now after Venkatesh and Ravipudi’s entertainer.

Even biggies like War 2, Pawan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and Rajinikanth’s much-hyped Coolie failed to meet the expectations at the box office and created a very big vacuum for the OG. 

Pawan Kalyan and Sujeeth’s action drama, with this hype, opens with positive WOM, then definitely all sections of audiences will come to theaters, and the Dasara festival holiday season will certainly help.

With all of these points, “They Call Him OG” can see very big numbers and will easily emerge as one of the top 5 grossers in the Telugu version.

Who Gets Prabhas Dates?

0

Pan-Indian star Prabhas is currently busy shooting The Raja Saab and Fauji. He also has a very exciting lineup with Sandeep Vanga’s Spirit, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2, and Prasanth Varma’s film, along with Salaar 2, which makes the dates of Prabhas very crucial.

Sandeep Vanga’s Spirit Kalki 2 and Prasanth Varma’s film—all teams are ready to start the film at any time if the Baahubali actor provides the dates, and as per the plan, after NTR’s Dragon, Prashanth Neel needs to start the sequel of Salaar immediately.

The KGF Series director will be free from Dragon in the second half of 2026. Now, the question is how Prabhas will provide the dates to this exciting lineup, and it is also important that his schedules match with the other cast and crew dates available at the same time.

Even directors seem to not have any clarity for now when their films are going to start, and directors are waiting for Prabhas to allocate the dates publicly. The actor needs to prioritize this and has to allocate his time as soon as possible so that the teams can plan things accordingly.

Krish in his toughest phase – no hits, no accolades

0

Director Krish Jagarlamudi (Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi) made his debut with Gamyam (2008), and he got a good name as a filmmaker. However, with continuous failures, including his latest film, Ghaati, Krish is in the toughest phase of his career. 

All the initial films of the director brought good accolades for his work, and even though a few films did not do huge at the box office, Krish’s work always gets praise, such as Gamyam, Vedam, Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum, Knache, and Gautamiputra Satakarni.

But his downfall started with NTR Biopic, which was a big failure, and he also faced big issues while shooting Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika film and opted out of the project as well.

Kondapolem with Panja Vaishnav Tej was also a big failure, and his latest film with Pawan Kalyan, Hari Hara Veera Mallu also had many issues during the shoot stage, which made him opt out of the project. Now with Ghaati, the director sees an even more disastrous result.

Now Krish is at the toughest phase of his career with no box office market and no accolades as well. He needs to reinvent himself and should come up with a strong content film to revive his brand as a filmmaker.
