Ravi Teja: How Did He Win Over Balakrishna's Fans with the 'Aavesham' Remake?
Among the stars of Tollywood, Ravi Teja is known as the 'Mass Maharaja'. Having delivered blockbusters such as 'Idiot', 'Bhadra', 'Venky', 'Vikramarkudu', 'Kick', 'Mirapakay', 'Power', 'Bengal Tiger', and 'Raja The Great', Ravi Teja hasn't been seen much in recent years. Although his recent films 'Dhamaka' and 'Eagle' seemed promising, they failed to deliver the level of success expected of Ravi Teja's caliber. His latest, 'Mr. Bachchan', also faced a dismal failure. Given his string of flops, it appears that the Mass Maharaja is taking a daring step by getting ready to remake a successful Malayalam movie.
Ravi Teja in the Remake of 'Aavesham'!
The Malayalam film 'Aavesham', directed by Jeethu Madhavan and featuring Fahadh Faasil in the lead, was an action-comedy that released this year and achieved great success, grossing over ₹150 crores at the box office. There has been talk in Tollywood about remaking this film in Telugu for some time. According to the latest buzz, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has acquired the remake rights of this film. Ravi Teja's acquisition of the rights has led to widespread speculation that he will star in the remake himself, to be produced under his own production company. An official announcement may also be coming soon, exciting Ravi Teja's fans.
Choosing Over Balakrishna...
There were rumors that Nandamuri Balakrishna would star in remake 'Aavesham' in Telugu, as Fahadh Faasil's role seemed a good fit for him. Balakrishna's fans even counted the film as one of his future projects. However, unexpectedly, Ravi Teja secured the project instead, charming Balakrishna's fans. Yet, Balakrishna's fans also say that Fahadh Faasil's role suits Ravi Teja well and believe that he will do justice to the various shades of the character. The question of who will direct this intriguing remake is currently generating much interest.
Struggling to Overcome the Flop Streak!
Ravi Teja, who once entertained fans with hit films, is now struggling with a series of flops. Of his last ten films, only one ('Krack') was a hit, and two others ('Dhamaka' and 'Eagle') received average feedback. The remaining seven were outright failures at the box office. The less said about 'Mr. Bachchan', the better, as it drew significant criticism and trolling for Ravi Teja. Critics have pointed out that he is not choosing age-appropriate roles and seems more interested in romantic scenes with much younger actresses. These criticisms have led Ravi Teja to decide that he must achieve a hit somehow and believes that remaking the successful Malayalam movie 'Aavesham' would be a safe bet.
Will 'Aavesham' Be a Good Fit?
'Aavesham' presents a unique story where three college students seek help from a local gangster, Ranga (Fahadh Faasil), to deal with their seniors. As the plot unfolds, Ranga forms a bond with the students, but complications arise due to his character, leading to an intriguing situation. Fahadh Faasil's characterization is a special attraction in this story. Given that the character suits senior actors well, initially, Balakrishna's name came up. Now that Ravi Teja's name has emerged, many wonder how he will fit into this role. There's no doubt that Ravi Teja can handle it, as the role demands a mix of comedy, action, and aggression, all of which he can deliver convincingly.

Prasanth Varma Unveils India's First Female Superhero Film – 'Mahakali' Set to Amaze!
Director Prasanth Varma became nationally renowned with the movie 'Hanuman.' Released during this year's Sankranti without much initial hype, 'Hanuman' created a box office tsunami across India, garnering widespread acclaim for Varma’s direction. Varma had previously announced that each year would see a new release from his cinematic universe, the PVCU, and true to his word, he has announced an exciting new project from this universe.
MAHAKALI Project
From the 'Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe' (PVCU), created by the director of 'Hanuman', comes the third project announcement. This movie has been titled 'MAHAKALI.' A first look poster was released by the makers, indicating that this film will be the first female superhero movie in Indian cinema. The director for this movie is the female director Pooja Aparna Kolluru, and it is being produced under the banner of RKD Studios by Riwaj Ramesh Duggal.
https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1844241797394161761
Did You Notice These in the Poster?
The 'MAHAKALI' poster shows a girl delicately touching a tiger. In the background, huts and shops are visible, with people visibly growing in panic. The poster also features a Ferris wheel caught in flames. The title is designed in Bengali font, with a diamond-shaped design in the center, adding intrigue. The upcoming movie from Prasanth Varma's universe is sparking excitement about what magic it will bring. Smaran Sai is providing the music for this movie, which will be released in IMAX 3D in both Indian and foreign languages.
Powered by the Goddess Kali...
During the MAHAKALI project announcement, director Prasanth Varma made some intriguing comments in a video he released. "A new force has joined our universe. The embodiment of Goddess Kali is coming to battle the most fearsome evil. This film will show what real superheroes are like," he captioned the video. This has suddenly created a lot of hype around MAHAKALI. There is curiosity about which actress will play the superhero role. Will they cast a star heroine or give a chance to newcomers? This is currently a topic of discussion online.
https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1844236760215392423
Before 'Jai Hanuman'...
Prasanth Varma had earlier announced that he had 20 scripts ready for his cinematic universe, with the first phase to include movies about six superheroes. Before 'Jai Hanuman,' 'Adheera' and 'Mahakali' were already in the pipeline, Varma revealed in an interview. He also mentioned introducing Nandamuri Mokshagna in an upcoming project, which would be the second project from the PVCU directed by him. Varma's ambition ensures that releasing one film a year will continue to make a significant impact at the box office.
Big B In Mokshagna Movie!
It's known that Balakrishna's son, Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja, will star in 'PVCU 2,' directed by Prasanth Varma. For this movie, Varma is preparing a pan-India subject and is considering casting Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan for a crucial role, believing that only Big B can do full justice to it. By casting Amitabh, Varma aims to make a grand entry into Bollywood. Strong buzz suggests that Mokshagna will appear in the role of Abhimanyu, with an official announcement expected soon.

From Ram Charan to Mahesh Babu: Who Could Portray Ratan Tata in a Biopic?
Among the industrialists India takes pride in, Ratan Naval Tata definitely holds a top position. Recognized as a business tycoon, he has prioritized societal welfare throughout his life. His passing brought about a wave of mourning across millions of people. Social media was flooded with posts lamenting the loss of such a great person. Amidst this, the idea of a biopic on Ratan Tata gained traction, with netizens expressing enthusiasm for such a film. This raises the question: which Telugu actor would best fit Ratan Tata's biopic? Who would do justice to the role? Let's evaluate.
Who would do justice?
It's well-known that Ratan Tata's life was no bed of roses. He faced numerous challenges and humiliations to reach his position. His life can be described as an emotional journey. Playing such a character is no trivial matter. Looking at the current roster of actors, Ram Charan comes to mind as a capable choice. His appearance as a business tycoon could be convincingly adapted to resemble Ratan Tata with some makeup adjustments. Similarly, actor Nani seems like a fitting choice to portray Ratan Tata, capable of embodying the emotional depth of Tata's life. Mahesh Babu also appears suitable for the Ratan Tata biopic, as his portrayal of a multinational company's CEO in 'Maharshi' was well-received. Adivi Sesh, known for biopics, could also do justice to the role, as he is known for transforming himself to fit his characters. Overall, there are quite a few options in Telugu cinema for the Ratan Tata biopic.
Rumors about the Biopic!
The idea of making a biopic on Ratan Tata has been circulating in Bollywood for some time. There were significant rumors that a selection had been made and that the film would soon begin production. Notable director Sudha Kongara was rumored in 2022 to be directing this visionary's biopic, with Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar or Abhishek Bachchan tipped to play Ratan Tata. However, Sudha Kongara refuted these rumors, stating, "I have great admiration and respect for Ratan Tata, but I am not currently making his biopic."
A Documentary Already Exists
A documentary on Ratan Tata has already been made. Disney+ Hotstar featured him in an episode of 'Mega Icons' Season 2, where he shared insights about his journey, including his vision of making affordable cars. Those interested in learning more about Ratan Tata can watch this episode, available in five languages—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and English. This documentary was also nominated for the Asian Television Award, highlighting its quality.
Biopics on Business Figures Are Rare!
While sports biopics like 'M.S. 'Dhoni', 'Saina', 'Mary Kom', 'Maidaan', 'Gold', '83', and 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' have been released sequentially and achieved success; biopics on business figures are quite rare. The late business mogul Dhirubhai Ambani's life was portrayed by director Mani Ratnam in the Hindi biopic 'Guru' with Abhishek Bachchan leading the role. The film did not meet its expected success but still stands as a landmark in Mani Ratnam’s career. Similarly, netizens hope that filmmakers will step forward to bring Ratan Tata’s story to the screen, believing that such a biopic would definitely make a mark in history.
