Release Date: 28-11-2024



Starring Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, Tarun, Supraj Ranga, Sonu Thakur, Meghalekha, and Khushboo Choudhary, "Roti Kapada Romance" is a youthful entertainer directed by Vikram Reddy. The movie, jointly produced by Bekkem Venugopal and Srujan Kumar Bojjam, finally hits the theaters after multiple delays. Released on November 28th, this film draws the youth in. But does it truly captivate its audience? Let’s delve into this review and find out!







What’s the Story?



Event organizer Harsh (Harsha Narra), software engineer Rahul (Sandeep Saroj), RJ Surya (Tarun), and Vicky (Supraj Ranga) have been close friends since childhood, sharing the same room and living together joyfully. Vicky, however, lives off his friends without engaging in any work. Their peaceful life takes a turn when four girls enter the scene. Divya (Nuvveksha) pairs up with RJ Surya, Sonia (Khushboo Choudhary) with Harsh, Shweta (Meghalekha) with Vicky, and Priya (Thakur) with Rahul. How do these relationships transform their lives? What challenges do they face due to these romantic entanglements? Why do they end up breaking up? What realization do these young men come to after their breakups? To know, one must watch the movie.



Performance Analysis



Despite being mostly newcomers, everyone in this film has performed their roles admirably. Harsha Narra, Sandeep Saroj, Tarun, and Supraj Ranga, as the lead actors, have captivated the audience with their unique acting skills. Vicky’s character, in particular, is memorable. The four leading ladies have also charmed the viewers thoroughly. The entire movie revolves around these four couples, while the supporting cast has done justice to their roles.







Direction



Director Vikram Reddy has shaped this film around the concept of how the lives of four young men change after four young women enter their world. While the themes of friendship, love, and breakups have been explored in many films before, the director has managed to present these in a fresh way. The portrayal of four distinct love stories in one frame has worked well. The director successfully highlights the contemporary youth’s challenges in love and their thoughts on marriage, extracting excellent performances from the cast, despite their inexperience. However, some scenes might feel repetitive, and the lack of a star cast and commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks.



Technically Speaking



On the technical front, all departments have performed well. The background score by Sunny MR, Harshavardhan Rameshwar, and RR Dhruvan has added a significant plus to the movie. The songs, fitting well with the contexts, are appealing. The cinematography is good, with visuals appearing fresh. Editing is adequate, and the production values are commendable.

Acting of the main castElements that attract youthMusic



Minus Points



Lack of star castMissing commercial embellishments

Roti Kapada Romance Movie Review: A Fresh Take on Youthful Dynamics


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.






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


Chiranjeevi, a leading actor in Tollywood, has dominated the Telugu film industry for over four decades. Even in his sixties, he continues to give young heroes a run for their money with his films. Currently, he serves as an inspiration to the entire generation of young heroes, mentoring newcomers along the way. Chiranjeevi stands as a pillar of support for these emerging stars without any backing in the industry, often attending their movie promotions and contributing to their success. Recently, he graced the pre-release event of Satyadev’s 'Zebra' as a chief guest, boosting the morale of young actors by specially mentioning small films.



Praise for Small Films



Chiranjeevi, a fervent fan and established actor, attended the pre-release event of Satyadev's 'Zebra,' which will be released on the 22nd of this month in Hyderabad. At the event, Chiranjeevi highlighted the successes of small films released this year. He expressed his joy over the Pan-India success of Prasanth Varma and Teja Sajja's 'Hanuman' released during Sankranti. He also acknowledged the successes of 'Committee Kurrollu' produced by Niharika Konidela, and 'Tillu Square' starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda. He was pleased with the Diwali releases 'Lucky Baskhar,' 'Ka,' and 'Amaran,' noting them as positive developments. He mentioned watching 'Matthu Vadalara 2,' starring Keeravani’s son Sri Simha and comedian Satya, twice and praised their performances. The respective film teams were elated by Chiranjeevi’s endorsement.

Reliable Support for Young Heroes



Chiranjeevi continues to support the new generation of heroes who consider him their inspiration. Recently, he attended the pre-release event of Satyadev’s film and even suggested Satyadev as the antagonist for his own movie 'Godfather,' giving a significant boost to Satyadev’s career. Previously, Chiranjeevi praised young hero Suhas at a film event, commending his performance in 'Colour Photo,' which moved Suhas to tears. He also blessed young actor Sharwanand at the 'Sreekaaram' movie pre-release event. When the 'Committee Kurrollu' team visited Chiru's residence, he blessed the lead actor Yashwant, who was visibly grateful during a photo session. Chiranjeevi consistently encourages young actors whenever the opportunity arises.







Chiranjeevi Set to Visit Japan!



Chiranjeevi is currently working on the film 'Viswambhara,' directed by 'Bimbisara' fame Vashistha Mallidi. According to the latest buzz, he will soon head to Japan for a ten-day shooting schedule, which will include important scenes and songs. The film, produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod, is being made as a socio-fantasy entertainer similar to 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari' and 'Anji.' Scheduled for a Sankranti 2025 release, Chiranjeevi has stepped back from 'Game Changer' with Ram Charan to focus on 'Viswambhara.'







Three Distinguished Honors This Year



This year has been memorable for Chiranjeevi, who received three prestigious awards. Last month, he was honored with the ANR National Award, presented by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in the presence of Akkineni Nagarjuna's family. In June, he received the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award, from the President. His family, including his wife Surekha, son Ram Charan, daughter-in-law Upasana, and daughter Sushmita, attended the ceremony. Chiranjeevi also made it to the Guinness Book of World Records for his contributions to 156 films and 537 songs, enchanting audiences with 24,000 dance steps.






Chiranjeevi: Godfather to Young Heroes, A Big Salute to This Mega Support!


Bollywood beauties Bhagyashri Borse and Janhvi Kapoor have been gaining recognition as the future heroines of Tollywood for some time now. There was considerable buzz that a solid hit could ensure a series of opportunities for these actresses. However, their first films did not captivate the audience as expected. Bhagyashri Borse faced a flop with the movie 'Mr. Bachchan'. Although Janhvi Kapoor had a successful film with 'Devara', her role was too brief to be highlighted significantly. Both actresses are now pinning high hopes on their upcoming films.



The Burden is All on Charan!



Entering Tollywood with the big star Tarak in 'Devara', Janhvi Kapoor, the daughter of Sridevi, had created a significant buzz even before its release. She was actively involved in promotions and managed to attract everyone's attention. However, after the release, Janhvi’s character left much to be desired, reminiscent of a guest role, which greatly disappointed her fans. Now, Janhvi’s hopes are all pinned on the upcoming project 'RC 16', a collaboration between Ram Charan and Buchi Babu. Whether she will get a substantial role in this film remains a question among her fans. If Janhvi proved her mettle as an actress, she could also become popular in Telugu cinema. It remains to be seen how well she will impress in RC 16.







Bhagyashri Borse's Bright Future!



Until the release of 'Mr. Bachchan', Bhagyashri Borse's name resonated strongly in Tollywood, hailed as the future queen. However, an unexpected disaster with 'Mr. Bachchan' evaporated all the high hopes placed on her. Yet, she has managed to make a mark as an actress. Currently, she is reportedly acting in 'VD12' alongside Vijay Deverakonda and has recently embarked on a pan-India project with Dulquer Salman titled 'Kaanta'. Furthermore, many young actors are keen to work with Bhagyashri, suggesting that despite the flop of 'Mr. Bachchan', her fame remains untarnished. Film analysts predict that a proper hit could easily catapult her into the top tier of Telugu heroines.







From Sridevi's Daughter to a Star Heroine!



Janhvi made her entry into Bollywood as Sridevi’s daughter with the Marathi film 'Sairat' remake, 'Dhadak'. She then acted in 'Gunjan Saxena', earning acclaim for her performance based on a real-life story. While she continued to take on roles in films like 'Good Luck Jerry', 'Mili', and 'Bawaal', major success eluded her. However, her appearance in a special song in 'Rakhi Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' caught everyone's eye. Recently, she has received praise for her roles as the female lead in Bollywood films 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' and 'Ulaaj'. Currently, Janhvi is filming 'Sunny Sanskriti ki Tulsi Kumari' in Hindi.







Background of Bhagyashri!



Bhagyashri Borse hails from Pune, Maharashtra. She made her silver screen debut with the Hindi film 'Yaariyan 2' after modeling in various ads, notably gaining fame with Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk commercials. Impressed by her acting in 'Yaariyan 2', director Harish Shankar gave her a chance in 'Mr. Bachchan'. Since then, this actress has created a buzz in Tollywood, securing more offers. Known for her cute looks, Bhagyashri is also very active on social media, frequently treating fans to glamorous updates and thus enhancing her popularity beyond cinema.

Editing: Naveen Nooli



Cinematography: Nimesh Ravi



Producers: Suryadevara Nagavamshi, Sai Soujanya



Written and Directed by: Venky Atluri



Release Date: October 31, 2024



This Diwali, the film 'Lucky Baskhar' made some noise. As a pan-India film featuring Dulquer Salmaan, it held a special appeal for Telugu audiences. What makes this Dulquer-Venky Atluri combination film special? Let’s find out if the hero gets lucky in this story.



Plot:



Baskhar Kumar (Dulquer Salmaan) is a regular bank employee from Mumbai, juggling his responsibilities towards his family comprising his wife Sumathi (Meenakshi Chaudhary), son, father, sister, and brother. He struggles with debts while hoping for a promotion that seems more like a dream. Despite his efforts, all seems to fail. Eventually, Baskhar takes a significant risk to support his family. The story unfolds how he faces the consequences of this risk.







What’s the Film Like?



After a long time, a Telugu film revolving around banking and the stock market has emerged, with the infamous Harshad Mehta scandal of the 90s as a crucial element. Director Venky Atluri intricately weaves the everyday struggles of middle-class families with their financial integrity into the narrative. The twists and characters resonate closely with the audience. Initially, the film portrays the challenges faced by Baskhar’s family and his humiliations, followed by his efforts to overcome these hurdles, which renew his zest for life.



Baskhar’s risks, the problems he faces, and his clever ways of handling them thrill the audience. Notably, the interval scenes and the complications faced by Baskhar in the first half are captivating. However, some scenes in the second half might seem a bit confusing. Topics like the stock market and shares may not be easily comprehensible to the general audience. The transformation in Baskhar’s life and his efforts to resolve family issues are engaging.







Who Did Well?



Dulquer Salmaan excels in the role of Baskhar, embodying a middle-class individual wonderfully. Meenakshi Chaudhary brings authenticity to her role as Sumathi. Ramki, Sachin Khedekar, and others justify their roles well.







Technical Aspects:



Technically, the film is superior. GV Prakash Kumar’s music is a crucial asset, with his background score adding hype to the story. Nimesh Ravi’s cinematography transports the ambiance back to the 90s Mumbai. Venky Atluri’s skill in character development and managing the narrative twists makes the film stand out, showcasing the production values without compromise.







Strengths:



Strong storyline



Dulquer Salmaan’s performance



Background music and twists



Weaknesses:



Some scenes in the second half



Final Words:



‘Lucky Baskhar’ is a smart thriller with an engaging backdrop. Dulquer Salmaan captivates in the role of Baskhar, delivering emotional elements that touch the audience. Despite some slower scenes in the second half, the narrative’s thrilling elements and interesting characters draw the audience closer.



Rating: 4/5

This Week’s OTT &amp;  Telugu Movie Releases (7th &amp; 8th Nov)!


Producer Naga Vamshi, currently riding a wave of successes in Tollywood, has recently brought the film ‘Lucky Baskhar’ to audiences, which has turned into a major success and continues to gain positive reception. At a success meet celebrating this victory, Naga Vamshi shared some intriguing details, particularly about upcoming projects under his banner directed by Trivikram.



According to Naga Vamshi, after a disaster in 2018, two blockbuster films directed by Trivikram have delivered significant successes. Following these, preparations are underway for another major project with Trivikram, which will be a political thriller planned to hit screens before the 2029 elections.



The last film Trivikram directed with Pawan Kalyan was ‘Agnyaathavaasi,’ which unfortunately did not perform well at the box office. However, subsequent films featuring Pawan Kalyan, like ‘Bheemla Nayak’ and ‘Bro,’ continued under Trivikram’s guidance, raising audience expectations for a solid hit from their collaboration.







Plot Background



After Naga Vamshi's speech, there has been widespread curiosity about how the upcoming political thriller directed by Trivikram will unfold. Questions abound about how Pawan Kalyan will be portrayed and what powerful role he will play. The film might include aspects from Pawan Kalyan’s journey since 2014, the foundation of his Janasena Party, the 2019 election episode where Pawan Kalyan faced defeat, and the shortcomings of the Jagan government. The film is likely to majorly focus on Pawan Kalyan’s alliance with the TDP, the jail episode involving Chandrababu, and the strategic decisions taken by Pawan Kalyan.



Trivikram Srinivas, who has so far been confined to family, romance, and comedy genres, venturing into a political thriller has piqued great interest. However, details about the cast in this political thriller remain under wraps.







Given Pawan Kalyan's active political involvement, industry analysts believe this story aligns well with his current focus. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan is busy with multiple film shoots.



Pawan Busy with Shooting



Pawan Kalyan is currently involved in the shooting of ‘OG,’ a project that had been postponed due to the AP elections. The shooting for ‘OG’ has recently resumed, with the movie team officially announcing that it is planned for release on October 25 next year. The shooting for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ has also started recently, with a massive set constructed in Vijayawada for this purpose. Pawan Kalyan is participating in this movie’s shooting, which the team plans to complete first before confirming the release date.

This Week’s OTT &amp;  Telugu Movie Releases (31st Oct)!


Vijay Deverakonda, one of the most popular young heroes in Tollywood, enjoys unwavering fan admiration regardless of hits and misses. His rise to stardom was fueled by successful films such as 'Arjun Reddy,' 'Taxiwaala,' and 'Geetha Govindam.' However, he has been struggling with a lack of recent hits, with his last three films performing poorly at the box office. This has led to increased trolling and criticism. Recently, during a film event, director Trivikram made intriguing comments about Vijay Deverakonda, which have gone viral in Tollywood and on social media.



"He has seen both adoration and hatred,"



At the pre-release event of Dulquer Salmaan's latest movie 'Lucky Bhaskar,' directed by Venky Atluri and set to release on October 31, Vijay Devarakonda and Trivikram were the chief guests. Trivikram praised the acting prowess of both Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan, calling them the great actors of this generation. He also mentioned his personal admiration for Vijay, stating, "Vijay has seen much love. But he has seen twice as much hatred. There's a line in Bal Gangadhar Tilak's novel 'The Night of Amrit' that says 'he is a great fighter.' This fits Vijay Deverakonda perfectly. Our boy is a true warrior." This comment has since become a sensation on the internet.

"Controversy if Khalnayak is called a flop,"



Vijay Deverakonda also spoke at the 'Lucky Bhaskar' pre-release event, making impactful remarks about director Trivikram. He reminisced about receiving his first paycheck from Sithara Entertainments, presented by Trivikram after the hit movie 'Pelli Choopulu,' during which Trivikram predicted his future stardom. Vijay called meeting Trivikram a significant moment in his life, expressing his admiration for Trivikram’s films like 'Manmadhudu,' 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachchaav,' and 'Jalsa.' He also stated that 'Athadu' and 'Khaleja' are among his favorites, and humorously remarked that he would fight anyone who calls 'Khaleja' a flop.

"Dulquer and Vijay Multistarrer,"



Vijay Deverakonda noted that he attended the 'Lucky Bhaskar' event for his "brother" Dulquer Salmaan. He reminded the audience of their collaboration in movies like 'Kalki' and 'Mahanati,' although they did not share scenes. He revealed that a director once considered making a multistarrer with him and Dulquer, and they even discussed the story together in Chennai, but the film never materialized. Vijay expressed hope that they might work together in the future, exciting the audience.

"Pelli Choopulu Combo Repeat,"



Vijay Deverakonda’s breakthrough film 'Pelli Choopulu,' directed by young director Tharun Bhascker, needs no special introduction for its success. However, the duo hasn't collaborated on another project since. Now, there's strong buzz about a new movie in the works under Tharun Bhascker’s direction with Vijay as the lead. It's said that Vijay has already heard the story and has agreed to the project, which will feature Tharun’s signature style of comedy along with action. Meanwhile, Vijay is currently involved in 'VD12,' an action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.







"Vijay’s Future Projects!"



Vijay Deverakonda currently has 'VD12' and two other exciting projects in hand. After 'Family Star,' producer Dil Raju is set to produce another film with Vijay, to be directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, director Rahul Sankrityan will direct another project featuring Vijay, set against a royal backdrop in the Rayalaseema region, with Rashmika Mandanna rumored to be the female lead.

20 Memorable Wedding Gift Ideas Under ₹2000 to Make the Couple's Big Day Even More Special!


Renowned hero Dulquer Salmaan has carved a unique identity for himself in the South Indian film industry. As the heir of Malayalam cinema legend Mammootty, Dulquer has quickly established his own separate fan base within a short period. Proving himself a worthy son with his remarkable acting skills, he has also made significant inroads into Tollywood, gaining a solid fan following. However, it appears that Dulquer is now shifting his focus entirely towards the Telugu industry. Announcing back-to-back projects in Telugu, he seems ready to give stiff competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin.



Dulquer as a Rising Hero in Tollywood!



With just two or three films, young hero Dulquer Salmaan has managed to achieve star hero status in Tollywood. His role as Gemini Ganesan in the Telugu film 'Mahanati', directed by Nag Ashwin, impressed everyone. His exceptional performance mesmerized the Telugu audience. Following this, he captivated viewers as a hero in the film 'Sita Ramam'. Playing a soldier, a lover, and a prisoner in an enemy country, his diverse performances have won the hearts of Telugu cinema-goers. Recently, he played a significant role in 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas, portrayed as a mentor who plays a critical role in Prabhas's life, akin to the mythical figure Parashurama. Rumors suggest that Dulquer will continue his role in 'Kalki 2'.







Recognition through Dubbed Films



In addition to direct Telugu films, several movies in which he acted in Tamil and Malayalam were dubbed into Telugu. Dulquer Salmaan's films, up to nine in number, have reached Telugu audiences. Movies directed by Mani Ratnam like 'Ok Bangaram', and those he starred in with Sai Pallavi like 'Hey Pillagada', and 'Andamaina Jeevitham' have greatly attracted the Telugu youth, giving them a feeling of kinship with Dulquer. Action films like 'Kurup', 'Salute', and 'King of Kotha' also gained good will among the mass audience. With this, Dulquer has evolved into a hero who embodies a blend of class and mass appeal in the Telugu film industry.







Aggression with New Projects



With his star hero status in Telugu, directors and producers in Tollywood are keen to work with Dulquer. Consequently, he is actively engaging in Tollywood projects with enthusiasm. He is currently working with director Venky Atluri in the film 'Lucky Bhaskar', set to release on October 31. Additionally, he has agreed to a Pan-India project titled 'Aakashamlo Oka Tara' under the direction of Pavan Sadineni, which has already generated interest with its first look poster showing Dulquer in a farmer’s role. Meanwhile, he has started a new project under Rana's production titled 'Kantha', where he will be seen alongside Tollywood's rising beauty Bhagyashree Borase. Set in the 1950s, Rana plays a key role in this film directed by Tamil director Selvamani Selvaraj.

https://twitter.com/Chrissuccess/status/1832279694118400071




Strong Competition for Tier-2 Heroes!



Given Dulquer Salmaan's momentum in Tollywood, it seems inevitable that he will pose strong competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin. Film analysts believe that if at least two of his current three projects hit, his stature will significantly rise. With his classic looks and the capability to electrify action sequences, Dulquer is fast becoming a preferred choice for Telugu directors. Heroes suffering from a series of flops, like Naga Chaitanya, Ram, and Vijay Deverakonda, need to be cautious about the competition from Dulquer.






Dulquer Salmaan's Rapid Rise in Tollywood: A New Competitor for Tier-2 Heroes


Janhvi Kapoor, a prominent Bollywood actress and daughter of the legendary actress Sridevi, has established a distinct presence in the Hindi film industry. She captured widespread attention by agreeing to star in the Telugu film 'Devara' alongside NTR. Even before the completion of this film, Janhvi began receiving a steady flow of offers. Recently, after securing a role in a Ram Charan film, news has emerged that Janhvi has received another exciting opportunity. She is set to appear alongside Natural Star Nani, generating significant excitement in Tollywood.



Signed on to the 'Nani 33' Project!



Natural Star Nani and director Srikanth Odela, who previously collaborated on the blockbuster 'Dasara,' which achieved spectacular box office success, are reuniting. Their first film together made a significant impact, entering the ₹100 crore club. Now, they are gearing up for another major action thriller. This new project, tentatively titled 'Nani 33,' has reportedly cast Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine, heightening the anticipation. Nani's fans are excited by this news, eagerly expecting that the duo will captivate audiences once again.

Shooting Soon!



Following the success of 'Dasara', anticipation is already high for Nani and Srikanth Odela's upcoming movie. The director is planning this film on a grand scale, and the script, which Nani is said to have loved, is already finalized. Nani is eagerly looking forward to starting this movie as soon as he wraps up 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'.







Janhvi Kapoor in Full Swing!



Janhvi Kapoor is proving to be a lucky charm. Despite not having released a single film in Telugu so far, she has managed to secure roles alongside star heroes. She first received an opportunity to act with Jr NTR in 'Devara', and while shooting for that, she surprised everyone by also landing a part in Ram Charan's 'RC16'. Now, with her inclusion in Nani's film, she is fast becoming one of the most sought-after heroines in Telugu cinema. There are expectations of more offers coming her way in the future.







Release on August 29



The movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' starring Natural Star Nani and directed by Vivek Athreya, is creating significant buzz. This film is being developed as an action thriller. Priyanka Arul Mohan stars opposite Nani. Set for a worldwide release on August 29, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' will be available in multiple languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, establishing it as a pan-India film. DVV Danayya is producing the movie under the DVV Entertainment banner.
