Anil Ravipudi Plans Impactful Social Entertainer with Pawan Kalyan

Since wrapping up Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Pawan Kalyan hasn’t committed to another film. His dates are confirmed with two producers, one is Ram Talluri and the other is Dil Raju. It is being said that the Vakeel Saab producer is planning an impactful social entertainer with Pawan Kalyan under Anil Ravipudi’s direction.

Word has it that Director Surender Reddy is busy writing the script for Ram Talluri’s film. There is a buzz in industry circles that this film is likely to go on floors as the next movie of Pawan Kalyan, and then he will start Dil Raju’s movie. 

Dil Raju is planning for an Anil Ravipudi-Pawan Kalyan collaboration, and reportedly Ravipudi will make a social message film much like Bhagavanth Kesari. 

No doubt this will be a brilliant combo, as Anil Ravipudi is one of the top directors in the Telugu film industry. Audiences will be super pumped to see Pawan Kalyan in his films.

The Raja Saab Telugu Breakeven Valued Over 200 Cr

Prabhas’s The Raja Saab’s buzz has gone to a big level after its teaser and trailer were released. The film is gearing up for release on 9th January, 2026, and the latest news is that the Telugu version’s breakeven point of the film is valued at over 200 Cr.

Currently, the team is shooting the songs in foreign locations, and the first single is gearing up for release on Prabhas’ birthday.

The film’s business is in final discussions, and a few areas are already being closed. The business quoted prices, and distributors’ negotiations are huge. Reportedly, the Andhra (6 Territories) price is around a 75 – 80 Cr ratio. Ceeded at over 25 Cr, and Nizam will be over 60 Cr. 

So, the total Telugu states business will reach 160 or 165 Cr, while overseas rights are also sold for a huge price. If we look worldwide, The Raja Saab Telugu version itself can go near the 225 Cr range, which is a huge business. 

Even though there are some final negotiations and terms, the business will certainly be over 200 Cr, which shows that the makers are banking on the buzz of The Raja Saab among audiences and the huge stardom of Prabhas.

Now Prabhas’s films are doing massive business, and his films are not limited only to Telugu and are aiming for big numbers in all languages.

Even with many super-strong combinations, several big-star films are not crossing 200 Cr in business in Telugu. Prabhas, however, is achieving this with director Maruthi, which shows his massive stardom, along with Maruthi’s effective teaser and trailer cuts, which played a significant role in this record business.

Akhanda 2 Telugu States Breakeven Around 110 Cr

The hype for Akhanda 2 featuring Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu speaks for itself. To break even, the film must reach 110 Cr in Telugu States. 

The Akhanda sequel’s Telugu states’ business has been closed or is in final negotiations. The total theatrical breakeven for Telugu states is approximately ₹110 Cr, including GST

Andhra (6 territories) has a ratio between 50 and 55 Cr, while Ceeded is estimated to be around 22 Cr.

Because of the massive hype around it, Akhanda 2’s Nizam business is said to have been done for 36 Cr (30 Cr NRA), and the film needs to collect 110 Cr share for breakeven.

Overall, the worldwide business of the film goes over 130 Cr, which is the biggest for Balakrishna by miles. As it i a sequel film, it will get huge collections at the box office if it reaches the expectations.

Nithiin in Talks with Little Hearts Director

Hero Nithiin is going through a tough phase in his career after a series of big flops. However, he is determined to make a strong comeback. According to reports, Nithiin is currently in talks with Little Hearts director Sai Marthand for his next project.

Earlier, Nithiin had committed to Yellamma and another film with director Vikram Kumar. But both projects have now been put on hold or shelved due to budget constraints.

At present, Nithiin is listening to new scripts from young writers and directors. During this process, Sai Marthand, who recently delivered a blockbuster with Little Hearts, is said to have narrated a complete story to the actor.

Reportedly, Nithiin really liked the script, and this project is likely to be his next film.

This seems like a smart move for the actor. Instead of opting for big-budget films, choosing entertaining projects with reasonable budgets could help him regain his form. Moreover, Sai Marthand has built a promising reputation among audiences with Little Hearts, so expectations for his next film are quite high.

Kantara Chapter 1 Overtakes Saiyaara – Now in Top 2 of 2025

The spiritual action drama acted and directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1, is breaking many records with each passing day, and lately the film has overtaken Bollywood’s blockbuster, Saiyaara, and has become the Top 2 film at the 2025 box office.

Chhaava, with 800 Cr gross collections; Saiyaara, with 565 Cr gross; and Coolie, with 520 Cr gross, are the top 3 grossers of Indian cinema in 2025 before the Kantara prequel’s release. 

For 10 days, Kantara Chapter 1 has broken many records, and with 550 Cr+ gross collections, it crossed Coolie’s lifetime collections yesterday, and today the film surpasses Saiyaara’s full run collections, claiming the 2nd biggest grosser spot of the year.

By today, the film will be in the range of 600 Cr. From tomorrow, the film needs to collect 200 Cr+ gross to reach the no. 1 position, and we should wait and see whether Kantara’s prequel can claim the no. 1 position.

If Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama can achieve the no. 1 place, then it will settle as the no. 1 for 2025, as there is no massive film in the rest of this year.

Kantara Chapter 1 becomes 16th film to 500 Cr gross in India

Kantara Chapter 1 has joined the 500 Cr club in India by today, becoming the 16th film to do so. On its 11th day, the worldwide gross reached the 600 Cr range. The film is having a fantastic run at the box office. 

Films that have grossed 500 Cr in India

  1. Baahubali (2015)
  2. Dangal (2016)
  3. Baahubali2 (2017)
  4. 2PointO (2018)
  5. RRR (2022)
  6. KGF2 (2022)
  7. Pathaan (2023)
  8. Gadar2 (2023)
  9. Jawan (2023)
  10. Animal (2023)
  11. Salaar (2023)
  12. Kalki 2898 AD (2024)
  13. Stree 2 (2024)
  14. Pushpa 2 (2024)
  15. Chhaava (2025)
  16. Kantara Chapter 1 (2025)

Prabhas leads the list with 4 films, while in directors, Rajamouli is leading with 3 films.

The pre-release buzz was somewhat underwhelming for a sequel movie, and the reason for a mid buzz is the team’s low-profile promotions. If the production house, Hombale Films, had released proper promotional content, like songs and mini teasers, it would have had solid buzz.

Nevertheless, Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama Kantara Chapter 1 is emerging as one of the massive blockbusters, as it became the 16th film to cross the 500 Cr gross mark in India.

The trade expects the film to utilize the Diwali festival days and mint as much money as it can.
