    Prabhas Joins 'Viswam' to Support Friend Gopichand with a Special Contribution
    Prabhas Joins 'Viswam' to Support Friend Gopichand with a Special Contribution
    Prabhas is currently a sensation in the Indian film industry. Following the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD,' where he starred as the beloved hero, his name is echoing across the country. He is receiving widespread adulation from Indian film lovers, captivating audiences from north to south with his fame. Amidst this acclaim, exciting news about Prabhas is generating buzz. Rumors suggest that Prabhas has made a significant decision for his friend Gopichand. Let's explore the details. Elevations with Prabhas! In the film 'Viswam', directed by star director Srinu Vaitla and starring macho star Gopichand, it has been rumored that Prabhas will appear in a guest role. According to the latest buzz, it’s confirmed that Prabhas will indeed participate in this film. Discussions suggest that Prabhas will contribute to the movie by providing a voice-over. It is said that Prabhas will lend his voice to elevate Gopichand's introduction scene. This would mark the first time Prabhas has provided a voice-over in a film, a gesture he has agreed to specifically for his friend Gopichand. This news has both Prabhas and Gopichand’s fans very excited. Will This Plan Succeed? Hero Gopichand is in dire need of a hit as his last four films—Bhimaa, Ramabanam, Pakka Commercial, and Aaradugula Bullet—have performed poorly at the box office. Similarly, director Srinu Vaitla has been unable to deliver a blockbuster like 'Dookudu', which came out in 2011. Thus, he has high hopes for 'Viswam'. With Prabhas currently in top form, the film unit is planning to bring him on board to generate hype for 'Viswam'. They have approached Prabhas to provide a voice elevation for the hero, believing it could contribute significantly to the film's success. Whether this plan will work remains to be seen. Off-screen Friends Prabhas and Gopichand are well-known to be good friends in the industry. They first worked together in the movie 'Varsham', where Prabhas was the hero and Gopichand played the villain. Their friendship has continued unabated since then. Both appeared together on the show 'Unstoppable' hosted by Balayya, where they had a great time. After this episode, fans were overjoyed to see them together, reinforcing their status as best friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmCOHX1D1gA 'Viswam' Release Date? 'Viswam', a film featuring Gopichand and directed by Srinu Vaitla with Kavya Thapar as the heroine, is being produced jointly by TG Vishwaprasad and Venu Donepudi. Chaitanya Bharadwaj is providing the music. The film’s shooting is nearly complete, and it is set to be released on August 15. Previously, a glimpse of the movie was released during Ramadan, which captivated the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LoKTtrxjmM

    Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2
    Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2
    Nepotism has always been a hot topic in the film industry. Following the tragic demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate around nepotism intensified. There's a widespread belief that nepotism bars opportunities for outsiders as industry heirs dominate the space. Nepotism has become commonplace, and Tollywood is no exception. It's often said that, after Bollywood, our industry has a high number of heroes from film families, leaving actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Adivi Sesh, Sharwanand, and Gopichand categorized as 'Tier 2' heroes. But how much truth is there to this? Are they truly unable to succeed because of nepotism? Let's find out in this special report. What Exactly is 'Tier 2'? Generally, in every industry, actors are classified into two or three tiers based on their popularity. In Tollywood, names like Prabhas, Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna are considered 'Tier 1' heroes. They create a festive atmosphere in theaters upon the release of their films, recovering about 30% to 50% of the budget on the first day itself due to their massive fan following. Tier 2 heroes, as previously mentioned, including Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Nithiin, Ram Pothineni, Naga Chaitanya, and Gopichand, may lag slightly behind in terms of remuneration, fan base, and budget of the films. Despite competing with top-tier heroes and being active in the industry, their films' collections tend to be limited. Unseen by Star Directors! Star directors like Rajamouli, Trivikram, Sukumar, and Koratala Siva prefer working with top-tier heroes, which, fans argue, does injustice to stars like Vijay Deverakonda and Nani. The exclusion by star directors reportedly prevents these actors from achieving pan-Indian success. Even though they release films with new directors at a pan-India level, they don't achieve the expected results. Hero Nani faced this with his project 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' planned for a pan-India release but still not released in Hindi. Fans suggest that despite having talent, the lack of star power beyond Tollywood is a disadvantage for Nani. Are Stories Failing Too? A great cast cannot save a film if the story fails. Whether a film is a success or a failure largely depends on the story. Fans are questioning whether 'Tier 2' heroes are choosing their scripts wisely. Recent films like Ram Pothineni's 'Double iSmart', Ravi Teja's 'Mr Bachchan', Nithiin's 'Extraordinary Man', and Gopichand's 'Rambanam' have left fans puzzled over why these actors accepted these projects. With big scripts mostly going to top-tier heroes, 'Tier 2' actors have to settle for what's left, some commentators feel. Nepotism vs Talent! The notion that only heirs in the film industry can succeed is a myth. If that were true, every offspring from major film families would become a star hero. No matter the background, without acting talent, longevity in the industry is impossible, as many heirs have demonstrated. Actors like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, Ravi Teja, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Adivi Sesh, and Naveen Polishetty have made their mark without any significant background, solely based on their talent. A significant success for Nani could propel him to 'Tier 1', fueling speculations among fans. The Fault Lies in the Audience! In a past interview, actors Rana and Nani made interesting comments about nepotism. Rana highlighted the unseen pressures and responsibilities that come with inheritance, stating that nepotism only helps to an extent, and without talent, one cannot survive in the industry. Nani, addressing the role of nepotism in cinema, mentioned that it's not industry insiders but the audience that fosters nepotism. He pointed out the disparity in audience size between his debut and that of actor Charan, questioning the audience's role in perpetuating nepotism.

    There's just a week left until the release of Tarak's latest film 'Devara', and it’s the talk of the town. Matching the buzz, the movie team is also intensively promoting it, creating substantial hype. Reports suggest that 'Devara' has achieved record-breaking pre-release business, marking unprecedented theatrical business in NTR's career. How much is 'Devara's pre-release business? What is the break-even target? What are the top-10 Telugu films that have done the highest pre-release business so far? Let’s find out about this special feature. [toc] How much is Devara's pre-release business? Directed by Koratala Siva and starring NTR, 'Devara' reportedly saw massive pre-release business. The theatrical rights alone are said to have been sold for Rs. 185 crores. In the two Telugu states, the rights went for Rs. 115 crores.
