Competition between movies is quite common in Tollywood. On any given day, two or three films are released simultaneously, challenging each other. But the competition becomes especially intriguing when it involves three popular star heroes. Such a scenario is soon expected in Tollywood. Notable actors Nandamuri Balakrishna, Jr NTR, and Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja are gearing up for a box office showdown. Preparations are underway for their films to release on the same day. The anticipation of who will come out on top has already started exciting the fans.
Balakrishna vs Ravi Teja
Nandamuri Balakrishna, also known as the Lion of the Telugu Cinema, is currently working on the film ‘NBK 109’ under the direction of Bobby. Although Balakrishna has been away from the shooting for a while, Bobby is swiftly moving forward with the rest of the production. With the Andhra Pradesh elections concluded, it is expected that Balakrishna will soon return to the sets. The filmmakers are planning to wrap up his scenes quickly and are targeting a release date of September 27. On the other hand, Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja is working with director Harish Shankar on the film ‘Mr. Bachchan.’ With Pawan Kalyan’s ‘OG’ being postponed, Harish Shankar is now fully focused on Ravi Teja’s film, progressing the shooting rapidly. This film is also expected to release on September 27. If all goes as planned, a box office showdown between Balakrishna and Ravi Teja seems highly likely. It will be interesting to see who will emerge victorious in this exciting contest.
Balakrishna has often held the upper hand
This isn’t the first time Balakrishna and Ravi Teja have clashed at the box office. In the past, their films have released on the same day multiple times. Last year, Balakrishna’s ‘Bhagavanth Kesari‘ and Ravi Teja’s ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao‘ both debuted on the same day. In that battle, Balakrishna emerged victorious. His film ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ garnered over Rs. 100 crores, receiving widespread acclaim. However, ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’ managed to gross only Rs. 48 crores. While Nandamuri fans claim that Balakrishna will win again this time, Ravi Teja’s fans are confident that he will reign as the box office king.
A Strong Contender from Devara?
The film ‘Devara,’ directed by Koratala Siva with Tarak as the hero, is also progressing rapidly. The makers previously announced an October 10 release. However, recent buzz suggests they are considering advancing the release to September 27, especially since Pawan Kalyan’s ‘OG’ might be postponed. If this happens, a fierce three-way battle at the box office on that date seems certain.
Crazy Glimpses from NBK109
The upcoming film ‘NBK 109,’ a collaboration between Nandamuri Balakrishna and young director Bobby, recently released a thrilling glimpse. On the occasion of Balakrishna’s birthday, the filmmakers unveiled this special glimpse. It begins with a powerful dialogue, “God is very kind… He even bestows blessings on the wicked… To see their end, one must be devoid of feelings like mercy, compassion, or pity, like a demon.” As soon as the dialogue finishes, Balakrishna makes a dynamic entry. The glimpse concludes with a highlight scene of Balakrishna on a horse. Check out the glimpse for yourself.
