Prashanth Neel's New Pan-India Film 'Bagheera' Trailer Drops: Fans Spot Strong 'KGF' Vibes!

From the Kannada film industry, 'KGF' and 'KGF 2' have created a sensation nationwide. Before 'KGF', Prashanth Neel, an unknown Kannada director, became a pan-India star with these two films. Recently, he directed 'Salaar' with Prabhas, creating another box office tsunami. Prashanth Neel is known for his meticulous attention to storytelling. In this sequence, he provided a story for a pan-India film titled 'Bagheera', whose trailer was released today and is captivating the audience. The trailer contains many elements reminiscent of 'KGF'. In black and white frames... The combination of director Prashanth Neel and production house Hombale Films, known from 'KGF', has gained recognition on a pan-India scale. Expectations for any project from this combination are sky-high. Under this combination, Hombale Films has produced a pan-India film, 'Bagheera', directed by Suri, with Sri Murali from Prashanth Neel's first film 'Ugramm' playing the lead role. The recently released trailer of this film is exceptionally captivating, showing Sri Murali in two different getups. The trailer, styled by Prashanth Neel, includes black and white visuals along with action sequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38mUkgL-w8 KGF-style dialogues! A Prashanth Neel film is known not only for its action but also for its compelling dialogues. The dialogues from 'KGF' received a great response. Similar dialogues can be seen in the 'Bagheera' trailer. It starts with a boy asking his mother, "Why does God always talk about Ramayana and Mahabharata, and why doesn't he ever come?" To which the mother explains the circumstances under which God appears, saying, "He comes when a man becomes a beast." This dialogue is followed by scenes featuring brutal villains. The hero, a police officer, is shown putting aside his uniform and ruthlessly eliminating criminals as a masked vigilante. The trailer shows Sri Murali’s acting prowess in dual roles, one as a police officer and the other as a weapon against demons. Actor Prakash Raj is also seen in the trailer as a high-ranking police official. Mother's sentiment! In 'KGF', the hero's mother dies during his childhood, and the promise he made to her turns him into a criminal. Observing the 'Bagheera' trailer suggests a similar story, indicating the presence of a mother's sentiment. A boy, whose mother dies when he is young, grows up to become a police officer to fight injustices. Believing that justice isn’t served legally, he turns into a masked man and brutally kills criminals. However, the hero's mother might have faced troubles from criminals, and with the intention that no one else should suffer as she did, he wears the uniform. Netizens believe that the combination of black and white frames and action sequences gives a feeling reminiscent of 'KGF'. The film is set to release in front of audiences on October 31. Busy with 'NTR 31' After the blockbuster 'Salaar', Prashanth Neel is set to work with Jr NTR on his next project, tentatively titled 'NTR 31'. This film is rumored to be set against a backdrop in Bangladesh, with Tarak playing a Bangladeshi farmer. This project is likely to start rolling soon. While known for directing sequels, it is reported that Prashanth Neel intends to make 'NTR 31' as a single part. After this movie, there's a possibility that Prashanth Neel will direct 'Salaar 2' with Prabhas. Recently, there were also reports about finalizing a project with Ram Charan.

Diwali Drama: 'KA' Movie's ₹26.5 Crore Success Story Marred by Theater Politics and Tamil Nadu Rejection

Starring Tollywood's young hero Kiran Abbavaram in the lead role, 'Ka', directed by the young duo Sujith and Sandeep, has been a massive success, particularly during the 2024 Diwali season. Co-starring young beauty Nayan Sarika, the film's collections have been steadily increasing, grossing over Rs. 26.52 crores in the first four days, surprising everyone. However, the film could have earned even more if not for certain injustices at the theaters which have significantly affected its collections. If this mistake is not rectified, the future of smaller films could be seriously jeopardized. Injustice in Theater Allocations 'Ka', starring Kiran Abbavaram, was announced long ago as a Diwali release, initially facing no competition for the holiday slot. However, other films such as 'Lucky Baskhar', 'Amaran', and 'Bagheera' entered the Diwali fray later. Except for 'Lucky Baskhar', the other films were foreign language films dubbed in Telugu. Due to the release of 'Amaran' and 'Bagheera', 'Ka' did not receive the expected number of theaters. Moreover, multiplexes showed a preference for showcasing 'Amaran'. With a strong production house like Mythri Movie Makers backing 'Lucky Baskhar', that film did not face any theater issues. However, 'Ka' suffered significant losses. Being a smaller film without a major star, distributors and exhibitors were hesitant to screen 'Ka', which ended up being shown in only 147 theaters across the Telugu states. Had 'Amaran' and 'Bagheera' been blocked from releasing during Diwali, 'Ka' would have easily secured more theaters and possibly joined the Rs. 50 crore club due to its strong performance. Ignored by 'Kollywood'! Tamil films receive extensive support from Telugu audiences, with stars like Suriya, Karthi, Vikram, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan enjoying a separate fan base in the Telugu states, contributing significantly to the high box office collections of Tamil films. However, Telugu films do not receive the same level of appreciation in Tamil Nadu. Telugu films are somewhat looked down upon by Tamil directors, producers, and audiences. The issue with 'Ka' highlighted this bias once again. As part of a pan-India release strategy, the makers of 'Ka' had planned a strong release in Tamil Nadu. However, Tamil directors and producers completely blocked the release of 'Ka', fearing that it would compete with local Diwali releases. Not a single theater was offered in Tamil Nadu, which Kiran Abbavaram himself announced. Had 'Ka' been released there, the potential increase in collections would have been significant. Due to the lack of theaters, 'Ka' is now slated to release there a week late. Ignored by the Media! Even when injustices occur against 'Ka' in both Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states, Tollywood elites and entertainment media remain silent. Telugu film sites, journalists, and social media that repeatedly highlight Kiran Abbavaram's failures are silent on the injustices happening even though the film is achieving great success. They often question the necessity of a large budget for your film and whether it can recover the investment but remain silent when collections are drastically reduced. Isn't the entertainment media responsible for supporting good cinema? If this situation does not change, the future of small films could be in jeopardy, especially during festival seasons, potentially discouraging young heroes and directors from releasing films. Change is Necessary! Regardless of the industry Bollywood, Kollywood, Sandalwood, Mollywood, or Hollywood and regardless of the season, films are provided in theaters. If necessary, they indirectly pressure small films to step aside. This situation needs to change. During festive seasons like Sankranti, Dussehra, Diwali, and summer, checks should be placed on dubbing films from neighboring states, suggesting a delayed release of one week to ensure good collections for Telugu films. There is no injustice to anyone here. When Tamil Nadu prioritizes Tamil films, the same rule should apply in Telugu states. Tollywood elders, producers, and distributors need to think about this.
