      Jai Hanuman: Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Jai Hanuman'?
      Jai Hanuman: Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Jai Hanuman'?
      Teja Sajja and director Prashanth Varma's film 'Hanuman' has captivated audiences nationwide. Released across India in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it quickly became a blockbuster hit. This Sankranthi, 'Hanuman' not only held its own against major films but also shattered box office records, generating significant profits for its producers. The success of the film has naturally led to heightened expectations for its sequel. Recently, buzz has emerged around 'Hanuman 2', with rumors circulating in Tollywood that Megastar Chiranjeevi may join this highly anticipated project. Contacts with the Megastar! As hinted in the climax of the first part, 'Hanuman' will have a sequel. The script work for this movie is nearly complete. It is understood that director Prashanth Varma wishes to cast Megastar Chiranjeevi for the role of Hanuman, believing that only he can do justice to the character given its importance in the sequel. Alternatively, there are strong efforts to cast Ram Charan for the same role. As per sources efforts have started, strengthening the buzz that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might be enacting as Hanuman. Producer Chaitanya Reddy's recent comments have further fueled this speculation, suggesting that if either Chiru or Charan agrees, expectations for 'Hanuman 2' will sky-rocket. Will 'Jai Hanuman' Take Time to Start? It appears that 'Jai Hanuman' might take more time to kick off. Director Prashanth Varma is recently reported to be starting a film with Nandamuri Balakrishna's son, Mokshagna Teja. Mokshagna, who was on the heavier side, has recently slimmed down and undergone a handsome makeover, sparking rumors that their film will soon go on floors. Given this, it's likely that Prashanth Varma will focus on 'Jai Hanuman' after completing his project with Mokshagna. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi is busy shooting 'Vishwambhara' aimed for a Sankranthi release. On the other hand, Ram Charan is acting in 'Game Changer' and has also given a green signal to star in a film directed by 'Uppena' fame Buchi Babu. This may further delay the shooting for 'Jai Hanuman'. Mokshagna's Video Goes Viral There have long been rumors about Nandamuri Balakrishna's son Mokshagna entering the film industry. Balakrishna has mentioned at several movie events that his son will join the film industry. Previously, there were negative comments about Mokshagna not being suitable for a hero. However, recent stylish photos of Mokshagna have surprised fans and netizens. A recent video of a photoshoot featuring Mokshagna in a yellow shirt has gone viral. The video has been extensively shared by Nandamuri fans, making it a trending topic online.

      Prasanth Varma's 'Jai Hanuman' Sequel: Expectations Soar as VFX and Bollywood Stars Join the Cinematic Universe
      Prasanth Varma's 'Jai Hanuman' Sequel: Expectations Soar as VFX and Bollywood Stars Join the Cinematic Universe
      Young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma's collaboration in 'Hanuman' has shaken up the entire country. Released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, the film has become a blockbuster hit at the pan-India level. The success of this film has turned all eyes towards Prasanth Varma's upcoming projects, and the director has previously announced that a sequel to 'Hanuman' is also on the cards. Currently, he is busy preparing the script for the sequel. In a recent interview with an English media outlet, Prasanth Varma shared interesting details about the release of 'Jai Hanuman' and about their cinematic universe, which has become a hot topic in the industry. 'Responsibility has increased' Director Prasanth Varma expressed that the pan-India success of 'Hanuman' has increased the responsibility on him. "If 'Hanuman' had only collected Rs. 100 crores, we would have released the sequel by now," he mentioned. But the film exceeded their expectations in collections, which means there's more responsibility to work on 'Jai Hanuman'. Varma assured that they are working hard on the script for 'Jai Hanuman', aiming to meet and surpass everyone's expectations. He promised to deliver exactly what the audience expects to see on screen. 'VFX work ahead' The VFX work of 'Hanuman' was a major highlight, receiving more praise than the hundreds of crores spent on 'Adipurush' for its graphics. Responding to this, Prasanth Varma mentioned that for 'Hanuman', they started the VFX work after shooting, but for the sequel 'Jai Hanuman', they are preparing the VFX ahead of time. This approach will save time during post-production. Shooting for 'Jai Hanuman' has not yet started. Bollywood stars are confirmed! Prasanth Varma made intriguing remarks about his cinematic universe, revealing that he has been in talks with some Bollywood stars for his films. He confirmed that these stars would definitely be part of his projects but mentioned that it might take some time. He also clarified that it would take some time before 'Jai Hanuman' goes on floors, as 'Adheera' is set to release first, followed by two more films he is currently working on. Other directors are also working on these projects, including one with Mokshagna. Varma aims to release at least one or two films every year. Movie with Mokshagna to start It's known that a film is forthcoming in the combination of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja and director Prasanth Varma. Recently, on the occasion of Mokshagna's birthday, the first look poster of the movie was released. Prasanth Varma expressed great pleasure in introducing Mokshagna to the industry. In the poster, Mokshagna appeared in a handsome look with a smiling face and a fully fit physique, making him look every bit the hero material. The look went viral on social media, with Nandamuri fans and cinema lovers wishing Mokshagna all the best. https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1831921862609154407 Linkup with 'Jai Hanuman'! The film with Mokshagna Teja, directed by Prasanth Varma, is tentatively titled 'PVCU 2'. Varma had previously stated that every film in his cinematic universe would link with his next film. In this context, 'PVCU 2' will pave the way for the release of 'Jai Hanuman'. This ensures that Mokshagna's film will definitely have a connection with 'Jai Hanuman', arousing curiosity among Nandamuri fans about how this linkup will unfold. Fans are eagerly anticipating what plan Prasanth Varma has concocted as they comment on their excitement.

      Tollywood 2024: Blockbusters and Budget Surprises, From 'Kalki 2898 AD' to 'HanuMan' 
      Tollywood 2024: Blockbusters and Budget Surprises, From 'Kalki 2898 AD' to 'HanuMan' 
      The year 2024 has been extremely fruitful for Tollywood. This year's highest-grossing film was Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Released as a festive treat for Sankranti, the movie 'Hanuman' also showcased its strength at the national box office with impressive collections. However, these two films were made with massive budgets. In contrast, lower-budget films like 'Tillu Square,' 'Committee Kurrollu,' and 'Aay' also stood on par in terms of collections with those two films, achieving nearly triple the return on investment. These films have been noted for the significant difference between their budget and collections, ranking among the top 5 Telugu films. Let's examine these details in this special report. Committee Kurrollu Niharika Konidela's debut production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' featured eleven new heroes and was released on August 10, garnering positive reviews. It raked in Rs. 17.60 crores worldwide on a budget of just Rs. 6 crores. The film achieved three times the return relative to its budget, earning accolades from critics. 'Committee Kurrollu' is currently streaming on ETV Win, where it continues to receive a favorable response from OTT platforms. Aay The recent film 'Aay,' starring Narne Nithiin and Nayan Sarika, directed by Anji K. Maniputra, was released on August 15 and captured a hit status. It outperformed star-studded films like 'Mr. Bachchan' and 'Double iSmart' in collections, amassing a total of Rs. 14.10 crores. The production costs were reported to be between Rs. 6-8 crores. Including OTT rights, 'Aay' managed to earn nearly three times its expenses. Kalki 2898 AD Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Rebel Star Prabhas, 'Kalki 2898 AD' has shaken the Indian box office, grossing over Rs. 1200-1300 crores worldwide. Made in a mythological and futuristic genre, the film was produced with an approximate budget of Rs. 600 crores but earned more than double its cost, receiving widespread acclaim. Pan India star Prabhas once again proved his mettle at the box office. The film also featured stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone, with special cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, S.S. Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma. Tillu Square Starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran, 'Tillu Square' released in March this year and made a splash at the box office, collecting over Rs. 135 crores globally. Produced by prominent producer Nagadevara Suryavanshi with a budget of around Rs. 40 crores, the film achieved more than three times its budget. This movie marked Siddhu Jonnalagadda's first entry into the Rs. 100 crore club. HanuMan Directed by talented filmmaker Prasanth Varma and starring Teja Sajja, 'HanuMan' captured nationwide attention. Released as a Sankranti gift this year, the film unexpectedly grossed over Rs. 350 crores on a modest budget of Rs. 40 crores, nearly nine times its production cost, astonishing everyone. This success elevated Prashant Varma to a star director status. Following 'HanuMan,' Varma announced a new project with Nandamuri Balakrishna's son Mokshagna Teja, which is soon to commence shooting. He is also focusing on the sequel 'Jai Hanuman.'

      Jr.NTR and Prashanth Neel Break the Sequel Trend with 'NTR 31' – A Single-Part Spectacle!
      Jr.NTR and Prashanth Neel Break the Sequel Trend with 'NTR 31' – A Single-Part Spectacle!
      In the current film industry, the Pan-India trend is prevailing. Recognized as star heroes, many are releasing their films at a national level, thereby significantly boosting their movie collections. At the same time, the trend of making sequels has been catching on, a practice that began with 'Baahubali' and has now reached its peak with films like 'Pushpa', 'Salaar', 'Hanuman', 'Kalki 2898 AD', and 'Devara' being planned as two-part movies. Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is also expected to be released in two parts. However, it seems the duo of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is set to challenge this sequel trend. Let's delve into the details. As a Single Part... After the blockbuster 'Devara: Part 1', the combination of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is known to be coming up with a film currently under the working title 'NTR 31'. Given Prashanth Neel’s penchant for sequels, as seen with his films 'KGF' and the expected sequels for 'Salaar', it was anticipated that this new project would also be a multi-part saga. However, in a surprising move, 'NTR 31' is decided to be made as a single-part film. Prashanth Neel has decided to wrap up the story in just one part, and it's also planned to be concise in terms of runtime. Are Sequels Necessary? Director S.S. Rajamouli laid the foundation for sequels with 'Baahubali'. Since then, the Telugu film industry has seen a continuous stream of sequels. While it’s justified to plan sequels when the story is too extensive to fit into a single part, and while audiences have welcomed this trend, planning sequels just to capitalize on box office collections without a compelling story can backfire, as has been speculated to happen with 'Devara'. Netizens have argued from day one that 'Devara' did not have enough substance to warrant a two-part film. The movie did well mainly because of Jr NTR’s one-man show and Anirudh's music, but many in the audience felt that their money wasn't well spent. Noticing this, the team behind 'NTR 31' has decided against taking the risk of a sequel. A Check on Expectations Usually, sequels are made for films that have been huge successes. By introducing a surprising link to the second part at the end of the first, directors raise high expectations for the sequel. This has been observed since 'Baahubali'. However, complete satisfaction among audiences usually comes only after the full story is known, which nowadays seems to be stretched over two parts, making them wait months to see the conclusion. This prolonged anticipation can sometimes lead to significant viewer fatigue. Comments on the internet suggest that interest in waiting for second parts is waning among audiences. In light of this, Tarak and Prashanth Neel are being cautious with 'NTR 31'. Shooting Starts in November! Pre-production for 'NTR 31' is currently underway, with the storyline nearly finalized. Rukmini Vasanth has been reportedly chosen to star opposite Tarak, as per strong buzz online. Moreover, regular shooting for the film is set to commence in November. Tarak is expected to join the shooting in January or February. Prashanth Neel aims to launch the movie by January 9, 2026, and plans to complete the film swiftly. Against a Bangladeshi Backdrop... The upcoming 'NTR 31', directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is creating a stir in Tollywood as a periodic action drama. It's rumored that the film, set in Bangladesh, revolves around a young man who lives as a farmer and becomes involved in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. Tarak's character, as directed by Prashanth Neel, will be showcased in two different variations, promising a next-level performance compared to his previous roles. After 'War 2' Hits the Sets Tarak is known to be part of 'War 2', a Bollywood film directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, where he plays a character with negative shades. He has already participated in the shooting of this film. After completing his commitments for 'War 2', Tarak plans to fully focus on 'NTR 31'. If 'War 2' wraps up as scheduled, it will release on August 15 next year, after which Tarak will adjust his dates for Prashanth Neel.

      Surprising Choice: ‘Laapataa Ladies’ to Represent India at the 2025 Oscars, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ Snubbed
      Surprising Choice: ‘Laapataa Ladies’ to Represent India at the 2025 Oscars, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ Snubbed
      The Oscars hold a prestigious spot among global film enthusiasts and is a coveted goal for actors and filmmakers worldwide. This year, many expected 'Kalki 2898 AD' to be nominated for Best International Feature Film from India due to its international standards. However, in a surprising turn, the Hindi film 'Laapataa Ladies' was chosen as India’s entry for the 2025 Oscars. It appears the 'Kalki' team is planning to follow the strategy used by last year’s 'RRR'. Was 'Kalki' Unjustly Overlooked? Directed by Kiran Rao, 'Laapataa Ladies' has officially been selected as India’s entry for the 2025 Oscars. The Film Federation of India's jury, led by Assamese filmmaker Jahnu Barua and comprising 12 members, chose this film over others including 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Hanuman', and 'Mangalavaaram' from Tollywood. Despite 'Kalki’s' international success, its omission has surprised cinema lovers, with some commenting that it faced the same injustice as 'RRR' the previous year. 'Kalki' in the Path of 'RRR' Last year, 'RRR' did not secure a spot in the Best International Feature Film category, prompting director S.S. Rajamouli to submit it under general categories. It received nominations in 15 categories including Best Picture and Best Director, ultimately winning an Oscar for the song "Naatu Naatu" under Best Original Score. Now, the 'Kalki' team is considering a similar approach, hoping to be recognized in various general categories. If the Oscar committee considers and shortlists 'Kalki’s' nominations, it could officially compete. The 'Hanuman' team is also contemplating a general category submission. Why 'Laapataa Ladies' Was Chosen Jahnu Barua, chairman of the Film Federation of India, explained the decision for 'Laapataa Ladies', highlighting the film’s portrayal of Indian social structures and morality, presenting India in a significant light. After extensive deliberation over eight days, the jury selected 'Laapataa Ladies' from among 29 contenders. Director Kiran Rao expressed joy over the recognition of the hard work put into an impactful story, hoping for global admiration just as it was received in India. Here are the Competing Films from the South! Of the 29 films vying for an Oscar nomination, a notable number were from South India. From Tollywood, three films were in contention; from Kollywood, six managed to make the list, including 'Maharaja' featuring Vijay Sethupathi, 'Thangalaan' with Vikram, 'Kottukkaali' starring Soori, 'Jigarthanda Double X' by Lawrence - S.J. Suryah, 'Valai' directed by Mari Selvaraj, and 'Jam' directed and acted by Pari Elavazhagan. From the Malayalam industry, films like 'Attam', 'Aadujeevitham' (The Goat Life), 'All We Imagine as Light', and 'Ullujukku' made the list, totaling 13 South Indian films in the Oscar race. However, only 'Laapataa Ladies' has officially entered the Oscars from India, with further announcements about other films pending. What Makes 'Laapataa Ladies' Special? 'Laapataa Ladies' reaffirms the saying "the story is the hero of the film." It tells the tale of two brides from a rural area who accidentally switch places during a train journey. The film unfolds their lives post this incident and how they find their way back to their husbands. Structured as a comedy drama, the film engages the audience while raising questions about the recognition of women in society and critiques patriarchal systems. Directed by Kiran, 13 years after her debut with 'Dhobi Ghat', the film received mixed responses at the box office but was well-received on OTT platforms.

      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report. Suhas Starting with minor roles in the industry, Suhas became famous almost overnight with the movie 'Colour Photo'. Building on the fame from his short films, he seized opportunities in cinema. He earned good recognition from the audience by acting in diverse films like 'Writer Padmabhushan', 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band', 'Sriranga Neethulu', and 'Prasanna Vadanam'. Moreover, he made an impact as a villain in the movie 'HIT 2'. Recently, he's gearing up to present another novel subject with 'Gorrepuranam', releasing this Friday (September 20). Teja Sajja Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations. Nikhil Siddhartha Nikhil Siddhartha grabbed everyone’s attention with 'Happy Days'. Post that film, he continued to captivate the youth with solo hero films. His journey includes significant roles in films like 'Swamy Ra Ra', 'Karthikeya', 'Surya vs Surya', 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada', and 'Karthikeya 2', establishing him as a reliable hero. Currently, he's part of the historical film 'Swayambhu', produced by Ram Charan, and also 'Karthikeya 3' is in his lineup. Vishwak Sen Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following. Following that, 'Falaknuma Das', a mass action drama, secured another success. His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema. Currently, he's involved in 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila', where his appearance in a lady getup in 'Laila' is noteworthy. Adivi Sesh Adivi Sesh initially appeared in a minor role in the movie 'Sontham' led by Aryan Rajesh. His breakout role as a hero was in 'Karma'. He gained recognition as a villain in Pawan Kalyan’s 'Panjaa'. With important roles in 'Run Raja Run', 'Baahubali', and a series of diverse films like 'Kshanam', 'Goodachari', 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'HIT 2', Adivi Sesh transformed into a reputable hero. Especially with 'Major', his market reach significantly expanded. He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline. Narne Nithiin Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.

Prasanth Varma's name resonated across the country with 'Hanu-Man,' showcasing his talent to all. Having experience working with young heroes like Teja Sajja, Balayya believes that Prasanth can present Mokshagna effectively. Moreover, their personal rapport might have influenced Balayya's decision to favor Prasanth Varma. In a Handsome Look..

      'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
      'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
      Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details. Release Date Locked? It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans. Teaser Ready to Launch So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans. Why Only for Christmas! It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan & Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas. Director Shankar's High Hopes! Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.
