    Remaking films has become a widespread trend across the Indian film industry, with successful movies in one language often being adapted into others to cater to diverse audiences. This trend is evident across various film industries in India, including Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Mollywood, Bhojpuri, and Bengali cinema. Tollywood, in particular, stands out for having a significant number of its successful Telugu films remade into different languages each year. A prime example of this trend is 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana,' which holds the record for being remade into nine languages. This piece will explore Telugu movies that have been translated into at least three different languages. Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana The Telugu film 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' (2005) holds the record for being the first Telugu film to be remade into nine languages. This film was adapted into seven Indian languages (Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, Odia, Manipuri, Punjabi, Bengali) and two foreign languages (Bangladeshi Bengali, Nepali). Directed by dance master Prabhudeva, this film, starring Siddharth, Trisha, and Srihari, was a blockbuster at the box office. Okkadu The Telugu film 'Okkadu', starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Gunasekhar, was remade into five languages. It found success in Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Hindi, and Odia. In Tamil, the film was remade with star Vijay as 'Ghilli', and in Kannada, Puneeth Rajkumar starred as 'Ajay'. Maryada Ramanna Directed by SS Rajamouli, 'Maryada Ramanna' was remade into five languages. This film, starring Sunil, was successful in Kannada, Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. Notably, Rajamouli directed the Hindi remake 'Son of Sardaar', featuring Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sonakshi Sinha.

It was remade as 'My Darling' (2004) in Odia, 'Mazhai' (2005) in Tamil, and 'Baaghi' (2016) in Hindi, all achieving significant success. Chatrapathi Prabhas's 'Chatrapathi', directed by Rajamouli, created a sensation in Tollywood and was remade into three languages: Kannada, Bengali, and Hindi. The Hindi version, directed by V.V. Vinayak and starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas, unfortunately, didn't succeed. Pokiri Mahesh Babu's 'Pokiri', directed by Puri Jagannadh, was remade into four languages. It was a massive hit in Tamil as 'Pokkiri' (2007) with Vijay, in Hindi as 'Wanted' (2009) with Salman Khan, and in Kannada as 'Porki' (2010) with Darshan. Darling Prabhas's 2010 romantic comedy 'Darling', directed by A. Karunakaran, was remade in Kannada as 'Bulbul' and in Hindi as 'Sabse Badhkar Hum', both versions enjoying success. A Bengali remake was planned but ultimately shelved.

    Is SSMB29 Mahesh Babu's Career Defining Moment? Discover Why
    Is SSMB29 Mahesh Babu's Career Defining Moment? Discover Why
    Director Rajamouli is planning to make the upcoming film SSMB29 with superstar Mahesh in Hollywood. The adventure movie, set to be made in cowboy style, is said to include Hollywood technicians as well. It will be shot against the backdrop of African forests at a pan-world level. Although Mahesh Babu's recent film "Guntur Kaaram" received mixed reviews, it landed safely in terms of collections. Global Level Pan-Indian blockbusters such as Baahubali and RRR, directed by Rajamouli, have garnered global acclaim, catapulting Jr. NTR and Ram Charan to international fame. Presently, they are engaged in their respective projects. A notable observation is that while films directed by Rajamouli almost always achieve hit status, the actors' follow-up projects often struggle to replicate that success in the industry Profit or Loss for Mahesh? The trend observed after collaborating with Rajamouli has been quite clear: actors find themselves in a slump, with their next three to four films underperforming. This pattern sparks curiosity about Superstar Mahesh Babu's career choices post-SSMB29, including his selection of director for future projects. These considerations are of significant interest even to the casual fan, as a Rajamouli project promises to elevate Mahesh Babu's global recognition. The decision-making process for Mahesh Babu's subsequent project, SSMB30, is seen as a crucial juncture in his career, given the mixed expectations of profits and challenges that accompany the aftermath of SSMB29. Examining the experiences of Telugu actors who soared to great heights with Rajamouli only to face setbacks thereafter sheds light on this phenomenon. Jr. NTR Rajamouli's inaugural venture, 'Student No.1' starring Jr. NTR, was a major hit, yet the latter's follow-up, 'Subbu,' did not fare well. Their collaboration on 'Simhadri' once again brought significant success, but NTR's subsequent movie 'Andhrawala' was a disappointment at the box office. The pattern continued with 'Yamadonga,' directed by Rajamouli, achieving acclaim, while NTR's next film, 'Kantri,' was poorly received. Following his role in RRR, Tarak has ascended to international fame. Currently, Jr. NTR is working on 'Devara,' directed by Koratala Siva, and the industry is eager to see if this film will break the cycle. Prabhas In 2005, Rajamouli and Prabhas teamed up for "Chatrapathi", which emerged as a blockbuster, a fact well-known across the industry. Unfortunately, Prabhas's follow-up, "Pournami", did not meet expectations and was deemed a failure, much to Prabhas's dismay. Following their initial success, Rajamouli and Prabhas reunited for the monumental "Baahubali" series, which not only set new standards for Tollywood but also catapulted Prabhas to pan-India fame. Despite this, Prabhas's later projects, "Saaho" and "Radhe Shyam", did not live up to the hype and were labeled as disappointments. Ram Charan Prior to "RRR," Rajamouli and Ram Charan collaborated on "Magadheera" in 2009, a movie that shattered numerous box office records. Yet, Ram Charan's subsequent release, "Orange" in 2010, did not achieve similar success. Presently, Ram Charan is involved in a potentially transformative project under the direction of Shankar, and the industry is keenly awaiting the outcome of this movie. Sunil, after collaborating with Rajamouli on "Maryada Ramanna", encountered difficulties in replicating the film's success in his subsequent projects. Likewise, Nani saw a downturn in his career following the release of Rajamouli's "Eega", with his movie "Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu", co-starring Samantha, not performing well at the box office either. Is Mahesh Babu in the Same Situation? This leads to the burning question: Post-SSMB29, will Mahesh Babu follow the same pattern of decline as other prominent Tollywood actors, or will he set a new precedent? The anticipation for SSMB29 is already through the roof. There's buzz that cinematic icons Kamal Haasan and Chiyaan Vikram might join the cast of the Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu venture. Additionally, Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is rumored to have a significant role. Talks with these stars are currently in progress, potentially elevating SSMB29's expectations even higher. Yet, an official confirmation from Rajamouli remains pending. Worldwide Buzz Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu appears to have transformed his appearance for the upcoming Rajamouli film. A photo of Mahesh Babu showcasing longer hair and a thick beard went viral on social media following a visit from star producer Dil Raju, who was extending a wedding invitation for his son. In this image, as per fans Mahesh looks are comparable to any Hollywood actor. It has also come to light that Mahesh recently traveled to Germany for stunt training. Furthermore, scriptwriter Vijayendra Prasad is said to have completed the screenplay and submitted it to Rajamouli. Starting in April, the production team plans to finalize the selection of cast and crew. The anticipation for this collaboration between Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu is generating buzz on a global scale.

The role of 'Mother', which holds immense significance in a person's life, not only in real life but also in movies, is unforgettable. That's why, based on the mother sentiment, various types of films have been made in Tollywood, achieving great success with heart-touching stories. While this is the case, pan-India star Prabhas has also acted in films with mother sentiment. Most of the successful films in his career are those that came with a mother sentiment. Let's take a look at them now. Salaar Directed by Prashanth Neel of 'KGF' fame, Prabhas stars in the latest film 'Salaar'. In this film, Prabhas appears very powerful and impresses as a son who never goes against his mother's word. Along with the mother-son sentiment working out, 'Salaar' stood out as a super hit with Prabhas' signature action. Shruti Haasan starred opposite Prabhas, and Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran played a key role. Baahubali In 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', directed by S.S. Rajamouli with Prabhas as the lead, the mother-son sentiment is also present. The emotional scenes between Prabhas and Ramya Krishna's characters connected well with the audience. Rana Daggubati played the role of Prabhas' brother, and Anushka Shetty was the heroine. Released on a pan-India scale, this film greatly elevated Prabhas' fame to a national level, spreading his fame from Tollywood to all industries. Chatrapathi Another mother sentiment film in Prabhas' career is 'Chatrapathi', directed by the illustrious director Rajamouli. Although the movie primarily revolves around action, the mother sentiment is intricately woven into the storyline. Bhanu Priya acted as Prabhas' mother, and their emotional scenes are tear-inducing. Shriya Saran played the female lead, and M.M. Keeravani provided the music. This film achieved unparalleled success at the box office. Yogi The first mother sentiment film in Prabhas' career, 'Yogi', may not have been a massive success at the box office, but it significantly attracted family audiences. The film was broadcasted on television hundreds of times, achieving high TRP ratings. Senior actress Sharada played the role of Prabhas' mother, and Nayanthara was the heroine. Directed by V.V. Vinayak with music by Ramana Gogula and Guru Kiran, the film featured Kota Srinivasa Rao, Pradeep Rawat, Mumaith Khan, Venu Madhav, and Sunil in crucial roles.

    Rajamouli vs Sukumar: Sukumar's Upper Hand in This Aspect Leaves Rajamouli Behind!
    Rajamouli vs Sukumar: Sukumar's Upper Hand in This Aspect Leaves Rajamouli Behind!
    When it comes to top directors in Tollywood, visionary filmmaker Rajamouli comes to mind first. Through the film RRR, Rajamouli elevated the Telugu film industry's reputation to Oscar-level fame. However, Rajamouli failed in one aspect: transforming his assistant directors into top directors. In this regard, director Sukumar has achieved immense success. Several directors who learned under Sukumar have demonstrated their prowess through hit films. Let's now see who these directors are. Sukumar's Assistant Directors Srikanth Odela Srikanth Odela is currently making waves in Tollywood. With his debut film, Srikanth shattered box office records. His film 'Dasara' starring Nani entered the 100-crore club. Before this film, Srikanth worked as an assistant director under Sukumar. He contributed significantly to the success of the films Nannaku Prematho and Rangasthalam. Sukumar once mentioned that Rangasthalam wouldn't have been such a great success without Srikanth Odela, which speaks to the director's talent. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/a-story-of-passion-and-patience-srikanth-odelas-four-year-journey-to-work-with-sukumar-and-direct-dasara.html Buchi Babu Sana Buchi Babu is another individual who began as Sukumar's assistant director and later became a successful director. With his first film, Uppena, Buchi Babu created a sensation. He skillfully applied the lessons taught by Sukumar and showed his mark with his very first film. He presented debut hero Vaishnav Tej and heroine Krithi Shetty beautifully on screen. Uppena's massive success led to Buchi Babu getting the chance to direct a film with Ram Charan. Ram Charan himself announced that Buchi Babu would direct his 16th film. Palnati Surya Pratap Emerging from Sukumar's directorial school, Palnati Surya Pratap also managed to secure a significant hit with his debut film. He demonstrated his talent through the film "Kumari 21F". Recently, Surya directed the movie "18 Pages" starring hero Nikhil and heroine Anupama. This classic love story has garnered a good buzz. Surya also worked as a screenwriter for Sukumar's films such as "1: Nenokkadine", "Rangasthalam", and "Pushpa". Rajamouli's Assistant Directors: G.R. Krishna Tollywood director G.R. Krishna initially worked as an assistant director under Rajamouli. He played a vital role in the success of the film "Simhadri". Krishna was introduced as a director with the movie "Aadu Magadra Bujji", but he couldn't achieve success in the expected range. His subsequent film "Iddari Lokam Okate" also failed at the box office. Since 2019, Krishna hasn't been able to helm another film in Tollywood. Karuna Kumar Another Tollywood director, Karuna Kumar, also learned filmmaking under Rajamouli. He went on to direct several films but couldn't make a mark. His debut film "Palasa" received positive talk but failed at the box office. Later, movies like "Metro Kathalu", "Sridevi Soda Center", and "Kalapuram" failed to impress the audience. Ashwin Gangaraju Director Ashwin Gangaraju also worked as an assistant director under Rajamouli. He played a crucial role in the success of "Baahubali-1" and "Baahubali-2". In 2021, Ashwin made his directorial debut with the film "Aakashavaani", but the movie did not perform well. Rajamouli's Heroes and their Flops...! Not only Rajamouli's protégés but also the heroes who have worked with him in movies seem to experience failure in their subsequent films, which is quite surprising. Jr. NTR Rajamouli made his first film 'Student No.1' with Jr. NTR, which became a super hit. However, Jr. NTR's next film 'Subbu' flopped. Rajamouli then made 'Simhadri' with Jr. NTR, which was another massive hit. But after that, Jr. NTR's 'Andhrawala' failed at the box office. Rajamouli directed the film 'Yamadonga' with Jr. NTR, and then his next film 'Kantri' turned out to be a disaster. Prabhas In 2005, Rajamouli made the movie 'Chatrapathi' with Prabhas, which was a huge hit. However, Prabhas' next film 'Pournami' was a flop and left him disappointed. After 'Chatrapathi', Rajamouli made 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2' with Prabhas, which elevated Tollywood's range and made Prabhas a pan-India star. Unfortunately, Prabhas' subsequent films 'Saaho' and 'Radhe Shyam' received flop talk. Ram Charan Before 'RRR', Rajamouli made the movie 'Magadheera' with Ram Charan. Released in 2009, the film shook the silver screen. However, Ram Charan's 2010 film 'Orange' was a major failure. Sunil, who worked with Rajamouli on 'Maryada Ramanna', also faced difficulties finding success after that film. Similarly, Nani experienced a flop after Rajamouli's film 'Eega'. Nani and Samantha's film 'Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu' also failed at the box office."
