Rajamouli, Prabhas, NTR, and Bunny: Tollywood's Box Office Titans Dominating the ₹1000 Crore Club

In Tollywood, reaching ₹100 crore in collections was once not a common feat. If a film crossed ₹100 crore during its lifetime, it was considered a significant achievement. However, the scenario has drastically changed in recent times. Director SS Rajamouli has elevated Tollywood to a global scale, making it common for our heroes to easily rake in ₹100 crores on the opening day alone. Recently, NTR also smashed records by grossing ₹172 crores on the first day alongside the godly figures. Several star heroes and directors from Tollywood have carved their own unique markets and can effortlessly claim these numbers with a solid hit. Let's take a look at these special figures. Market Over ₹1000 Crores! Director SS Rajamouli creates a global buzz with every film. His direction in 'Baahubali 2' (₹1810 crores) and 'RRR' (₹1300 crores) brought in over ₹1000 crores each. He is currently directing 'SSMB 29' with Mahesh Babu, which is expected to hit a global stride and is projected to gross around ₹2000 crores. On the other hand, pan-India star Prabhas has created a unique market for himself regardless of directors. His recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed over ₹1200 crores. With big projects like 'Kalki 2', 'Salaar 2', 'Spirit', and 'Raja Saab' in his pipeline, these films are poised to reach over ₹1000 crores. Market Between ₹700-1000 Crores Currently, Tollywood boasts five individuals who have a market capacity of from ₹700 Crores to ₹1000 crores. Among the heroes, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun easily fit this bill. Allu Arjun is set to release 'Pushpa 2' on December 6, and with the national buzz it's generating, it could easily make between ₹700-1000 crores if it becomes a hit. Mahesh Babu is set to drastically raise his market with an upcoming film directed by Rajamouli. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is planning his next film with Prabhas, is expected to touch the ₹1000 crore mark, as per industry analysts. Prashanth Neel’s upcoming projects with NTR ('NTR31') and Prabhas ('Salaar 2') also place him in this high market bracket. Market Between ₹500-700 Crores In this market range, three Tollywood heroes stand out. NTR, Ram Charan, and Pawan Kalyan can easily achieve this with a proper hit. Notably, Tarak has already shown the potential to easily join the ₹500 crore club with his recent success with Devara. Ram Charan, collaborating with director Shankar on 'Game Changer', is expected to release around Christmas, and success here could similarly elevate him to the ₹500 crore club. Pawan Kalyan has yet to venture into pan-India films, but his upcoming projects 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' are set at this level. There's significant anticipation for 'OG' among fans. Market Between ₹200-500 Crores From Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are likely contenders for this category. At 69, Chiranjeevi's star power remains undiminished. His upcoming movie 'Vishwambhara' is highly anticipated and could easily make ₹200-500 crores if successful. Balakrishna’s last three films have each crossed ₹100 crores. His next, 'NBK109' directed by Bobby, features Bollywood actor Bobby Deol as the antagonist. A successful clash between them could easily surpass ₹200 crores. Meanwhile, script magician Trivikram, despite mixed reviews for his last film 'Gunturu Karam', managed ₹250 crores. His next film is rumored to be with Allu Arjun, which could potentially rake in ₹500 crores if successful. Director Koratala Siva has also increased his market value with the film 'Devara', projecting his future films to start above the ₹200 crore mark.

Venkat Prabhu Faces Backlash Over Telugu Audience Criticism After 'The Goat' Underperforms

The latest film starring Kollywood star hero Vijay, titled 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), released on September 5 and has been a massive hit in Tamil Nadu, even crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark with impressive overseas collections. However, the film seems to be facing strong resistance in the Telugu and Hindi markets. In this context, the film's director Venkat Prabhu responded, sparking a heated debate on social media. 'That's Why They Didn't Like It' In Telugu and Hindi, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) did not meet the expected levels of success. Mythri Movie Makers, a prominent production company, purchased the film for Rs. 22 crores in Telugu, but so far, it has only grossed Rs. 10 crores. Current circumstances suggest that even breaking even may be difficult. Against this backdrop, director Venkat Prabhu took to social media to express his views. He suggested that scenes related to Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni, which were highlights, did not resonate well with Telugu and Hindi audiences, which might be why the film underperformed in these regions. He also accused fans of the IPL teams from Mumbai and Bangalore of excessively trolling his film, attributing this to his known fandom of Chennai Super Kings. Venkat Prabhu's comments have become a hot topic on social media. https://twitter.com/TheAakashavaani/status/1833133203697131918 Telugu Audience Fires Back..! Telugu audiences are strongly criticizing Venkat Prabhu's recent comments. They are posting online that there are other reasons for 'The Goat's disaster performance in Telugu. Comments suggest that if the content is good, they support films irrespective of the industry. They remind the director of the massive success his previous film 'Maanaadu' had in Telugu, indicating that MS Dhoni also has a huge fanbase in the Telugu states, with stadiums filling up in yellow jerseys whenever a CSK match is played in Hyderabad. They are requesting that the actual reasons for 'The Goat's failure be investigated. Reasons for the Flop in Telugu Are These! Director Venkat Prabhu made 'The Goat' with a routine story where Vijay played dual roles as father and son. Despite the terrorism backdrop, it lacked the twists typically seen in agent films. There were no twists or turns in the story, and even the operations conducted by the hero lacked thrill. Additionally, unnecessary songs and Yogi Babu's comedy track tested the patience of the Telugu audience. However, the action sequences and the IPL track in the climax managed to generate some excitement. Dhoni Said No! 'The Goat' featured many cameo roles. Sivakarthikeyan and Trisha appeared as guests, and India's former cricket captain MS Dhoni was also shown during the climax using IPL visuals. Director Venkat Prabhu originally intended to have a scene with Dhoni in the film, but since Dhoni did not agree, they had to resort to using IPL visuals. The 20-minute climax episode captivated cricket lovers immensely. Furious Over Negative Reviews Director Venkat Prabhu responded to the negative reviews of 'The Goat.' "People don't talk about the effort we put into making the film. Some intentionally post negative comments. We included references in the film not found in any other movie, all to celebrate every hero fan. The film wasn't made just for the guest appearances but was crafted to include everything audiences desire. We made this film for the audience, not the reviewers," he stated.

Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!

The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, created a sensation at the box office, garnering over Rs. 1200 crores. Many were eagerly awaiting its OTT release. On Thursday (August 22), 'Kalki' became available for streaming on two platforms. It was expected to dominate OTT as well, but unexpectedly, it faced stiff competition from 'Rayaan.' This surprising turn of events has shocked Prabhas’s fans. Rayaan Outshines Kalki! The film 'Rayaan,' directed and led by Tamil star Dhanush, was released in theaters on July 26 and achieved significant success, earning over Rs. 150 crores, marking it as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Recently, it debuted on Amazon Prime. Just a day before, 'Kalki' was also released on Amazon in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. It was anticipated that 'Rayaan' views might decrease due to 'Kalki's impact. However, surprisingly, 'Rayaan' excelled with even higher views than 'Kalki,' trending at number one nationally, pushing 'Kalki' to the second spot. https://twitter.com/DhanushAdmirers/status/1827230852377669864 Is This Why Rayaan Dominated? There seems to be a strong reason why 'Rayaan' received more admiration on OTT than 'Kalki.' Many had already watched 'Kalki 2898 AD' in theaters, and some even repeatedly. In contrast, 'Rayaan,' despite its success and buzz as a routine revenge drama, was not heavily promoted for big-screen viewings, leading many cinema lovers to hold off watching it until its OTT release. As expected, once 'Rayaan' hit the streaming service, everyone rushed to watch it first. Given that many had already seen 'Kalki,' OTT enthusiasts were more eager to watch 'Rayaan' first, leading to its prominent streaming success. Big Salute to Dhanush’s Direction! The film 'Rayaan,' which rained cash in theaters, is achieving similar success on OTT. The movie contains many elements that captivate audiences, notably Dhanush’s directorial expertise. The narrative, screenplay, and performances by Dhanush, Sundeep, S.J. Suryah, and Dushara Vijayan are particularly engaging. Dhanush’s portrayal in the fight sequences showcased his formidable presence, setting the action apart from typical films with its realistic feel. The drama and emotions are well crafted, keeping the audience engaged without any dull moments, earning Dhanush widespread acclaim. Producer Surprises Dhanush Prominent producer Kalanithi Maran produced 'Rayaan,' under Dhanush’s direction and lead role. Following the film’s super success, the producer uniquely thanked Dhanush by presenting two cheques (reflecting his dual roles as director and hero), which went viral on the internet. However, the exact amount on the cheques remains undisclosed, leading netizens to speculate and comment their guesses.

SS Rajamouli's Unmade Film with Suriya and Karthi: A Missed Opportunity Before 'RRR'?

Director SS Rajamouli, who elevated Indian cinema to a global level and became the country's top director with 'Baahubali,' gained worldwide popularity with the film 'RRR.' The song "Naatu Naatu" from this film even won an Oscar, garnering accolades from all corners of the country. Currently, Rajamouli is busy launching a global-scale film 'SSMB29' with Mahesh Babu. Amidst this, an intriguing piece of news about Rajamouli has surfaced. It is known that he initially considered making a film with Kollywood stars Suriya and his brother Karthi, and it was rumored to be 'RRR.' Let's look into the details of this. 'They Narrated the Story... It Didn’t Work Out' Tamil star Karthi recently made interesting remarks in an interview. During the promotions for his next movie 'Satyam Sundaram,' Karthi, in an interview with director Gautham Menon, shared an intriguing past discussion. When Menon asked about acting alongside Suriya, Karthi revealed, "Suriya and I will act together if we get the right script. In the past, Director Rajamouli sir narrated a story to us. It was good but that movie didn’t work out." This revelation has surprised movie lovers, prompting questions about how they could pass up a Rajamouli story. There is speculation that had that movie been made, Suriya and Karthi’s stardom might have seen a different trajectory. https://twitter.com/adarshtp_offl/status/1835533193111392319 The Story of 'RRR'? Netizens speculate that the movie Rajamouli planned with Suriya and Karthi might have been 'RRR.' They assume that initially, Rajamouli envisioned Suriya and Karthi in the roles later played by Ram Charan and Tarak. For various reasons, that version never progressed to filming. Telugu audiences believe that if Karthi and Suriya had starred in 'RRR,' it might not have achieved the same level of success. They note that while the action and drama of 'RRR' are highlights, the dance sequences also stood out, an area where Suriya and Karthi might have lagged behind Charan and Tarak. Karthi as a Contender to Tarak! Karthi's latest film 'Satyam Sundari' is ready for release, where he stars alongside prominent actor Aravind Swamy. The film, directed by Prem Kumar C., who delivered the blockbuster '96,' is set to release worldwide on September 28. A teaser of the film was recently released and has captured attention. Karthi has also announced his next project, which will be produced under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures as 'Karthi 29.' Details about the rest of the cast and technical team are expected to be released soon. 'SSMB 29' Shooting in December! Ever since Rajamouli announced a film with Mahesh Babu, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see when the film will go on floors. In this context, there is news that an official update related to SSMB29 will be given on Rajamouli's birthday. Regular shooting for the film is set to begin in December, with the first schedule starting in Germany. The film, set against an 18th-century backdrop featuring rare tribal communities, is creating strong buzz. An official announcement regarding this is expected soon.

'Anti-Indian Arshad' Social media is ablaze with Prabhas's fans attacking Arshad Warsi, digging up his controversial past posts.

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.

Bollywood Vs South Industries: Has a Cold War Started Between Bollywood and South Industries?

The current situation seems to be evolving into a Bollywood versus South India conflict. There are allegations that some Bollywood celebrities are struggling to accept the fact that South Indian films are creating a sensation on a pan-India level. In the past, national awards were mostly won by Hindi films, which also used to dominate in terms of box office collections. However, the situation has drastically changed over the past few years. Especially after "Baahubali," the influence of South Indian films at the Indian box office has significantly increased. Meanwhile, with the exception of one or two, Bollywood hasn't released films that made a significant impact. This has led to growing resentment and dissatisfaction among Bollywood actors toward South Indian films. In this context, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's use of derogatory language against actor Prabhas has sparked controversy. Recently, a South Indian star's harsh comments about Bollywood films have fueled speculations that a cold war has begun between Bollywood and South Indian industries. ‘Bollywood is Undermining Our Country’ Kannada star Rishab Shetty made controversial remarks about Bollywood. He claimed that Bollywood has portrayed our country in a negative light at international film festivals. He stated that he is trying to make films that the country can be proud of. In a recent interview, Rishab Shetty shared his opinion about Bollywood. "Some Indian films, especially Bollywood movies, portray our country negatively. Our films are invited to global events, and they roll out the red carpet for them. That's why I want to make sure I speak proudly about my country. I want to showcase the greatness of my country, my state, and my language to the world," said Rishab. These comments went viral, with some netizens supporting Rishab while others criticized him, sharing scenes from some of his past films. https://twitter.com/i/status/1826135635754631603 Arshad Warsi's Grudge Against Prabhas Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently spoke in an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he expressed his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad said that he watched 'Kalki' and didn't like the movie. He compared Prabhas's character unfavorably to Big B Amitabh Bachchan's character Ashwatthama, saying that Prabhas's role fell short. He mentioned feeling sad while watching Prabhas on screen, expressing his disappointment. "Prabhas… I feel bad saying this, but he looks like a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie. He should be like Mel Gibson in it. I still don't understand why they made him look like that," he said. Prabhas's fans have expressed their displeasure over Arshad's comments. https://twitter.com/i/status/1825097374680621099 Telugu Heroes' Strong Counter Tollywood hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his own style. He said that criticism is not wrong, but speaking without control is definitely wrong, criticizing Arshad on the X platform. Sudheer mentioned that he never expected such unprofessional comments to come from Arshad Warsi and made it clear that comments from people with such small minds cannot affect someone like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also condemned Arshad's comments, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. "Prabhas, who has no insecurity, is the real deal. Without him, there wouldn't be a 'Kalki' movie. I thought his role was amazing. Maybe Arshad is just jealous," he wrote on X. https://twitter.com/isudheerbabu/status/1825746561495871657 https://twitter.com/iamaadisaikumar/status/1825250706938380360 What Happened to Bollywood? : Allu Arjun In recent years, South Indian films have been released on a pan-India level and achieved great success compared to Bollywood. Bollywood director Nikhil Advani recently shared interesting comments made by Allu Arjun about Bollywood. "In the past, I wanted to make a film with Allu Arjun. I met him for that purpose. He expressed his disappointment with the state of Bollywood. 'What happened to Bollywood? Why have you forgotten how to showcase heroes?' he asked. What he said is true—South Indian films showcase heroism and the key emotions in a way that connects the audience to the story. At one point, Bollywood produced many such films that achieved great success. Today, that element is missing in Hindi movies," said Nikhil.

Nivetha Thomas: A Reporter's Question on Weight Gain Met With a Strong Counter by Nivetha Thomas!

Among the actresses in Tollywood who have established a strong fan base, Nivetha Thomas stands out. Despite having acted in only a few films, she has attained a level of popularity that rivals that of leading heroines in Telugu cinema. Nivetha has primarily chosen roles that emphasize acting over bold characterizations, gaining significant recognition within the Tollywood audience. At the teaser launch event for her upcoming film '35,' Nivetha Thomas encountered an unexpected question, and her response is now going viral on social media. What Happened? Nivetha Thomas stars in the upcoming film '35,' which is set to be released soon. During the recent teaser launch event, a journalist questioned her about body shaming. The reporter asked, "The weight gain of artists like Anushka or yourself has gone viral on social media. There’s still a prevailing notion on social media that a heroine must be 'size zero'. What is your response to this?” Nivetha answered with a smile and a pointed reply, "I need to tell you this. Perhaps this 'viral' concept only affects you because I am not aware of it. My simple answer to your question is... '35' does not represent the weight of anyone here—no cast member, no technician." She also subtly warned to keep questions relevant to the film.

'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR

The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450
