In the past, a movie’s success wasn’t just measured by its collections but by how long it played in theaters. However, that’s not the case anymore. Nowadays, a movie’s success is decided based on its collections. As part of this shift, filmmakers also hype up daily earnings to build excitement among audiences. There are frequent comments within the industry suggesting that the collections announced by makers are far from reality. In this context, popular actor Rana Daggubati made some sensational remarks about movie collections. A video related to this has gone viral online.
What did Rana say about collections?
Rana Daggubati, a well-known actor in Tollywood, gained Pan-India fame after his roles in ‘Baahubali‘ and ‘Baahubali 2‘. Recently, he appeared as the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s movie ‘Vettaiyan’. In a recent interview, Rana made interesting comments about movie collections, saying, “Box office numbers are just a comedy. Many people might not know, but the numbers on posters are just for time pass. They are not real numbers. They are just for marketing purposes. They don’t relate to the actual gross or final money made.” These comments by Rana went viral and became a topic of discussion in Tollywood. Fans are posting whether the crores claimed for our heroes’ movies are real or not.
This time, less profanity…
There were significant criticisms of the first web series ‘Rana Naidu‘, which Rana did with his uncle Victory Venkatesh, especially since Venkatesh is known for connecting well with family audiences and they were unable to accept the use of profanity in the series. Due to dissatisfaction about the series not being suitable for family viewing, there is news of an upcoming Part 2. In this context, Rana spoke about Season 2, stating that the shooting for the second series is complete and that the content and language will be improved this time. However, he reminded that the first series was advised not to be watched by family audiences, but no one heeded the advice, leading to severe trolling.
Rana’s Talk Show on Amazon
Tollywood hero Nandamuri Balakrishna’s host role in the talk show ‘Unstoppable’ has been a huge success, well-known for creating a buzz on the OTT platform Aha. Amazon Prime is now planning a talk show with Rana Daggubati as the host. ‘The Rana Daggubati Show’ is set to stream starting November 23. It’s reported that Ram Gopal Varma, Nani, Naga Chaitanya, Dulquer Salmaan, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Teja Sajja, and Sreeleela will appear as guests. Rana mentioned in a recent interview that the first season will have 8 episodes, each lasting over 40 minutes. He expressed a desire to invite Prabhas and Balakrishna to the show and is in talks to make a decision soon, which has immensely pleased the fans of both the Rebel and Nandamuri camps.
