Samantha to Bounce Back?

Samantha’s last theatrical release as a lead heroine was Kushi, which was released in 2023. After that, the actress did not take on any lead roles in films. The latest buzz suggests that Samantha is gearing up for a strong comeback in the film industry. 

After Kushi, Sam was seen in Citadel, a web series that was exclusively streamed on Prime Video, and this year, she made her debut as a producer with Subham and appeared in a cameo role.

Samantha to play the lead actress in Vetrimaaran – Simbu’s Film?

Samantha is excitedly anticipating her big comeback in films, with reports from Tamil circles suggesting that she is in discussions to take on the female lead role in Vetrimaaran and Simbu’s upcoming project.

If this project materializes, then definitely this will be a perfect way for a comeback for the actress, as Vetrimaaran’s films always have a great scope for solid performances.

The film’s shooting is expected to start this month, and Anirudh is likely to compose the music, and it will be his first time with Vetrimaaran.

KGF 2 vs Kantara Chapter 1: Official 1st Weekend Box Office Numbers

KGF 2 and Kantara Chapter 1 are both produced by Hombale Films. The producers consistently announce their collections officially, and in most cases, these figures match with the trade reports.

During the release of KGF 2, the makers announced 546 Cr gross for the 1st weekend (4 days), and for Kantara Chapter 1, the Hombale team announced 335 Cr gross for the 1st weekend (4 days).

There is a significant difference in the box office collections of KGF 2 and Kantara Chapter 1

The collections of KGF Chapter 2 and Kantara Chapter 1 show a massive difference of 210 Cr, which came as a surprise to everyone. Many believed that Rishab Shetty’s film would pose a strong challenge to the records set by KGF Chapter 2.

But finally, KGF 2 has a clear and big lead, but the main reason was the film’s phenomenal Hindi performance, whereas for Kantara Prequel, Hindi is not performing as per the expectations.

Adivi Sesh’s Injury Delays Dacoit Shoot — Release Postponed

Actor Adivi Sesh’s last theatrical release was HIT 2 (2022), and he was scheduled for his next film, Dacoit, in December 2025. However, due to an old injury of Adivi Sesh, the release of the film has been postponed.

Reports suggest that Adivi Sesh’s injury is taking longer than anticipated to heal, causing a delay in the shooting of Dacoit. A major action sequence, which demands Sesh to be fully fit, has been postponed.

OG 11 Days Gross Collections

Pawan Kalyan’s OG had a decent second weekend with respectable collections at the box office despite facing competition with Kantara Chapter 1. The film saw good numbers for 11 days, and definitely if Kantara had not been released during Dasara, the film could have had much bigger numbers.

OG’s 11days gross collections are out, and Pawan Kalyan’s film is targeting a 300 Cr total in its full run

The Sujeeth directorial gathered a gross of 255 Cr across all versions in its first week and reached 280 Cr in gross collections over 11 days. After a decent second weekend, OG is on track to join the 300 Cr club in its full run.

From Tollywood, no film has joined the 300 Cr club this year, and “They Call Him OG” is all set to achieve this. Pawan Kalyan did not have even a 200 Cr grosser before the film, but with OG he achieved 200 Cr and 250 Cr and is now aiming for 300 Cr too.

OG Chasing Devara in USA

From pre-bookings to collections, there has always been a competition between NTR’s Devara and Pawan Kalyan’s OG among fans and audiences as well, especially for the USA collections.

Pawan and Sujeeth’s film takes the lead in North America, but in its full run, NTR and Koratala Siva’s film is likely to stay at the top, as it has good support from the Hindi language, whereas “They Call Him OG” Hindi numbers are minimal.

For comparison, Devara’s full North America run grossed $6.07 million, where the Telugu version contributed $5.5 million, and other languages contributed $570K.

For OG, the total 11-day North America collections are around $5.47M, with the Hindi version contributing just around 43K.

If we see only the Telugu version, OG comes very close to Devara, which collected $5.5M. Pawan Kalyan’s film’s total numbers as of now are at $5.43M, and it needs just around 70K to beat Devara, which is definitely possible this week.

But the lead of Pawan’s film over NTR’s film will be very marginal, as we can see that the other languages have given Devara Part 1 a comfortable lead. 

At the end of the day, both Devara and OG are huge profitable ventures in the USA.

Kantara Chapter 1 Eyes Karnataka’s 200 Cr Milestone

Kantara Chapter One is rocking in Karnataka, and it had a sensational opening weekend with close to 80 Cr. Today the film holds extraordinarily and will easily do double-digit gross collection. 

The trade expects the film to join the 100 Cr club by tomorrow itself, which will be the fastest ever for a Kannada film, making it an extraordinary feat. 

No film in Karnataka has collected 200 Cr gross, but Kantara Chapter 1 looks to break that, as today’s hold suggests that it is easily achievable, and if the hold continues, it could even target the 250 Cr milestone.

Undoubtedly for Kannada audiences Kantara is a bigger brand even than KGF. For other language audiences, KGF2 is bigger than Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama. The numbers of both films also reflect the same notion.

Kantara Chapter 1 Weekend Box Office Smashes KGF 2 in Karnataka

The first weekend box office performance of Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama, Kantara Chapter 1, is amazing, and the film smashes the record of Yash-Prashanth Neel’s KGF 2 in its homeland, Karnataka. 

Karnataka is the only territory where Kantara Chapter 1 is performing better than KGF 2. The second part of KGF collected around 75 Cr gross for the opening (4 days) weekend, whereas Kantara chapter 1 has collected close to 80 Cr gross and set an all-time record.

To date, no film has collected more than 200 Cr gross in Karnataka, and we need to wait and see whether the prequel of Kantara can achieve that magical number.

Today’s advance ticket sales in Karnataka are very good and indicate a strong run for the Rishab Shetty directorial. Let us see how the film’s run goes from now on.

Fans Eager for Baahubali 3

The Telugu Cinema fans were absolutely delighted when SS Rajamouli announced the re-release of Baahubali: The Epic (combining the two parts of the series), and all are eagerly waiting for Baahubali 3. 

Baahubali is the one series that changed the regional cinema into pan-Indian cinema and brought the franchise film trend. The massive film is also the starting point for Indian cinema to make big-budgetfilms with a multiple-part strategy.

Baahubali: The Epic Raises Curiosity on Baahubali 3

As said above, Baahubali: The Epic is releasing in theaters on 31st October, merging the two parts into a single part. Rajamouli and the team are continuously working on it, and multiple promotional interviews are also planned.

Fans are anticipating an update about Baahubali 3 during the promotions, and there’s a buzz on social media suggesting that Baahubali: The Epic might end with a hint leading to the third part.

On the other hand, some industry reports suggest that there are currently no plans for Baahubali 3, as Rajamouli wouldn’t make such a straightforward announcement for a massive film like this. A project of this scale requires a well-prepared script and clear timelines.

We need to wait and see if Rajamouli and his team say or give any hint about Baahubali 3 in the interviews or promotions of the re-release.
