      'NTR 31': Jr NTR's Explosive Dual Role Ignites Anticipation in Tollywood
      'NTR 31': Jr NTR's Explosive Dual Role Ignites Anticipation in Tollywood
      Following the success of 'RRR', Jr NTR’s fame has reached global proportions, even earning him a substantial fan following in Bollywood. Currently, Tarak is featured in the movie 'Devara', directed by Koratala Siva, which is swiftly moving through its shooting phase. After this film, Tarak has confirmed his participation in the 'NTR 31' project. Directed by Prashanth Neel, known for blockbuster hits like 'KGF' and 'Salaar', this upcoming movie has already stirred high expectations. Recently, an exciting update about NTR’s role in this movie emerged, causing quite a stir in the industry. Tarak in a Dual Role? The upcoming 'NTR 31' project, a collaboration between Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is creating a buzz in Tollywood. According to the latest buzz, Tarak will be playing dual roles in this film. One of these roles is reportedly as a 75-year-old man, a character unlike any he has played in his career. The other role is rumored to be that of a mafia don, sparking much excitement. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is likely to start shooting in September, with an official announcement expected soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with pre-production work. As a Fierce Demon... Reports have previously suggested that Tarak will portray characters with negative shades in 'NTR 31'. The latest buzz indicates that one of these characters will be a mafia don, where he will appear as a fierce demon. The character has been uniquely designed by director Prashanth Neel, who is taking great care in its portrayal. It is known that after completing this movie, Neel plans to start 'Salaar 2'. The Dragon Title Fixed! The title 'Dragon' is under consideration for NTR 31, and there is a high chance that it might be finalized. In European languages, "Dragon" symbolizes evil and also represents chaos and the ability to breathe fire. Given its powerful connotation, Prashanth Neel is considering this title, especially as Tarak is set to appear in a powerful negative role, making 'Dragon' a fitting match. An official announcement regarding the title decision is expected very soon. With a Budget of Rs. 300 Crores... The forthcoming NTR 31 film, featuring the combo of Tarak and Prashanth Neel, is set to be made with a massive budget. The production cost is expected to exceed Rs. 300 crores, with Tarak likely to receive a significant remuneration. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be starring opposite Tarak, and other cast members are to be finalized shortly. When is 'Devara' Releasing? The highly anticipated pan-India project 'Devara' is set to release grandly on September 27. This film marks another collaboration between Tarak and Koratala Siva following 'Janatha Garage', raising substantial expectations among the audience. Jhanvi Kapoor stars opposite NTR, marking her entry into Telugu cinema. Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan will appear as the villain. Initially scheduled for an October 10 release, the rapid progress of work has moved the release date forward to September 27, as confirmed by the film unit.

Before 'KGF', Kannada actor Yash and director Prashanth Neel were relatively unknown, but these films catapulted them to stardom. Their efforts were widely acclaimed. The makers had previously announced the production of 'KGF 3'. Recently, an exciting update was revealed: 'KGF 3' will feature Kollywood superstar Ajith Kumar. Ajith Kumar in 'KGF 3'!

It is being discussed that Ajith will also feature in 'KGF 3', generating significant excitement among fans of the series. There are already predictions that 'KGF 3' will break all existing records. https://twitter.com/nitishyadav1801/status/1816002560731287619 Time Constraint? Ajith and Prashanth Neel already have projects in hand. After 'Vidaamuyarchi', Ajith has agreed to a project titled 'Good Bad Ugly', to be directed by Adhik Ravichandran and soon to go on the sets, produced by Tollywood's Mythri Movie Makers.

      Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
      Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
      Following the blockbuster success of 'RRR', Mega Power Star Ram Charan is set to appear in 'Game Changer', directed by renowned Tamil cinema director Shankar. This film has generated high expectations among audiences, including Mega fans and regular moviegoers alike. Recently, the film's producer, Dil Raju, sparked further excitement by making intriguing remarks and hinting at the release date for 'Game Changer', leading to a flurry of eager posts from fans about the confirmed release date. Is It Releasing on That Day? Produced by the prominent producer Dil Raju, 'Game Changer' is being crafted as a political action thriller. At the recent pre-release event of 'Raayan', Dil Raju responded about the release of 'Game Changer', hinting at a Christmas release. This suggests that 'Game Changer' might hit the screens on December 25 as a Christmas gift. It marks the 50th film produced under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, making it a prestigious project for Dil Raju. The editing work for this movie is currently underway. https://twitter.com/i/status/1815052022200013098 Ram Charan in Prabhas' Path! It appears that Mega Hero Ram Charan is emulating Pan India Star Prabhas. Last year, Prabhas starred in 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,' which was released as a Christmas gift and became a blockbuster, grossing Rs. 700 crores worldwide on December 22, 2023. The decision to release during Christmas was strategic, aimed at avoiding competition with major stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh, who had films lined up for the Sankranti festival in January 2024. Similarly, Ram Charan and his team are considering a solo Christmas release to ensure strong box office returns without facing competition from other big names. For Sankranti 2025, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' has been scheduled, and films like Venkatesh’s new project with Anil Ravipudi and Ajith’s 'Good Bad Ugly', as well as 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' are also expected to release. Thus, releasing 'Game Changer' as a Christmas gift could potentially replicate the box office impact seen with 'Salaar.' High Hopes for Game Changer! Following the disappointment of Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2', which failed to meet audience expectations and was widely criticized online, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar's return to success. Shankar's previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office, adding to the pressure. Dil Raju, too, is looking to rebound from the significant losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which was a box office disaster. The industry is abuzz with talk that 'Game Changer' will be a significant turnaround for both the director and the producer. All hopes for success are now pinned on this Ram Charan movie. Is This the Story? A leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime, has already revealed the storyline of 'Game Changer'. Announcing its upcoming films on their platform, Amazon Prime unveiled the plot of 'Game Changer', which revolves around an honest IAS officer fighting political corruption. Reports suggest that Charan will be seen in dual roles as father and son. Kiara Advani is starring opposite Ram Charan. Other significant roles are played by Srikanth, Sunil, Naveen Chandra, Jayaram, Samuthirakani, and Anjali. S. S. Thaman is providing the music for this film.

      As Predicted by YouSay,  Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' Breaks ₹1000 Crore Barrier in Just 15 Days
      As Predicted by YouSay,  Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' Breaks ₹1000 Crore Barrier in Just 15 Days
      Rebel star Prabhas, directed by Nag Ashwin, has unleashed a box office storm with 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Although it was released just 15 days ago, the film's earnings continue to soar, breaking new global records. The excitement around Prabhas's latest film is palpable. Recently, Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, officially announced that 'Kalki' has surpassed the ₹1000 crore mark. This raises questions about which other films have achieved this milestone and how 'Kalki' compares to them. We will explore these aspects in this special report. How much did the collections amount to in 15 days? The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been successfully running in theaters for 15 days. The production company Vyjayanthi Movies has officially announced the collections so far. The Kalki movie has grossed over ₹1000 crores in these 15 days. A special poster was released on this occasion, showcasing Prabhas in a Karna avatar targeting the ₹1000 crore mark. This poster is currently captivating netizens. Fans are reiterating Prabhas's prowess once again. https://twitter.com/Kalki2898AD/status/1812023448681750927 Prabhas, the Unique South Hero Through 'Kalki 2898 AD', hero Prabhas has set a record. He is the only South Indian hero to have joined the ₹1000 crore club twice. Prabhas first joined this club with 'Baahubali 2'. Although it was anticipated that he would touch ₹1000 crores again with 'Salaar', it stalled around ₹705–715 crores. However, with Kalki, he has achieved this feat for the second time. With collections exceeding ₹1000 crores, he has proven himself unstoppable at the box office, thereby equalling Bollywood's Shahrukh Khan's record. Currently, these two stars are the only ones to have placed their films in the ₹1000 crore club twice, with Shahrukh doing so with 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'. Soon Into the Top-3 With the latest collections, Kalki has placed seventh in the list of films with the highest gross in Indian cinema history. 'Dangal', starring Aamir Khan, continues to lead with ₹2,023 crores. Prabhas's own 'Baahubali 2' holds second place with ₹1,810 crores. 'RRR' with ₹1,387 crores, 'KGF 2' with ₹1,200–1,250 crores, 'Jawan' with ₹1,148 crores, and 'Pathaan' with ₹1,050 crores follow in subsequent positions. However, with Kalki joining the ₹1000 crore club within just two weeks, it is poised to break more records in the coming days and easily move into the third position, giving a tough time to the films currently in third, fourth, and fifth places. How Much Did Day 1 Collections Bring In? All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of the 'Kalki 2898 AD' movie. Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, has officially announced the first day's earnings. 'Kalki' grossed ₹191.5 crores worldwide on its first day. A special poster was also released with the caption 'Let's Celebrate Cinema'. Initially, trade circles predicted that Kalki would gross over ₹200 crores on its first day. However, the film narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. How Much Did the First Weekend Yield? Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed ₹555 crores worldwide in its first weekend. A special poster featuring major stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, along with the lead, was posted last week by the production company. The caption read, 'Dominating the global box office with no signs of slowing down'. https://twitter.com/VyjayanthiFilms/status/1807678411529506945

      SSMB29 Cast: Rajamouli's Big Plan.. Mahesh in a Negative Role.. Official Announcement That Day!
      SSMB29 Cast: Rajamouli's Big Plan.. Mahesh in a Negative Role.. Official Announcement That Day!
      One of the most eagerly awaited films for Indian cinema enthusiasts is the forthcoming movie featuring Mahesh Babu and directed by SS Rajamouli. This action-adventure film, set to have a global reach, has not yet been officially announced. Nevertheless, significant updates about it are circulating on social media. Let's explore the latest news about 'SSMB29' that's currently trending online. Mahesh's Dual Role According to the latest buzz, Mahesh Babu is set to play a dual role in 'SSMB29'. Throughout his career spanning 28 films, Mahesh has never played a double role. But now, it seems Rajamouli will showcase him in dual roles, with one of these characters reportedly having negative shades. If this is true, expectations for 'SSMB29' are sure to double, promising a full package for Mahesh’s fans. https://twitter.com/MovieTamil4/status/1810544815492432380 Official Announcement That Day! Apart from the lead actor Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has not announced any other cast members yet. There hasn't been a film launch event either. However, pre-production work is reportedly advancing well. Speculation is rife that an official announcement for 'SSMB29' might be made on August 9, aligning with Mahesh Babu's birthday, especially since pre-production is almost complete. This anticipation has sparked intense speculation among fans about whether a new poster or a preview teaser featuring Mahesh will be released. Nassar Joins the Movie Team! In another exciting update, acclaimed actor Nassar is rumored to have joined the cast of the movie. He is reportedly participating in workshops with Mahesh Babu and other actors, where he provides valuable advice and suggestions, especially on dialogue delivery. Nassar has previously played a similar role in Rajamouli's epic films 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', where he coached stars like Prabhas, Jr. NTR, and Ram Charan in regional dialects. As a veteran theater artist, Nassar has built a substantial reputation as a character actor in both Telugu and Tamil cinema, enthralling audiences with his portrayal of Bijjaladeva in 'Baahubali'. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1810503350913585650 A Malayalam Star as the Villain! It appears that Rajamouli is deeply engaged in casting, nearly finalizing a formidable antagonist to face Mahesh Babu. The strong buzz suggests that Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran has been nearly confirmed as the villain in 'SSMB29', with an official announcement expected soon. Prithviraj previously played a villain in the Prashant Neel-director 'Salaar' starring Prabhas, where he became well-liked by Telugu audiences. A video praising Prithviraj’s performance by Rajamouli during the promotions of 'Salaar' went viral at the time. Mahesh’s Latest Look Goes Viral! Recently, a video of Mahesh Babu emerging from the airport after a vacation with his family went viral. In the video, Mahesh sports long hair and a thick beard, topped with a cap, captivating his fans. Many believe this to be his new look for 'SSMB29', and posts speculating about this have been trending online. Mahesh Babu is reportedly preparing for a never-before-seen look in Rajamouli's upcoming film. https://twitter.com/i/status/1809857211088212096

      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      Kalki 2898 AD Day 2 Collections
      The film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin starring Prabhas, is successfully being showcased globally. Released in theaters worldwide on June 27, the film is creating a storm at the box office, with house-full boards lighting up across the country. On its opening day, the movie grossed a sensational Rs. 191.50 crores, drawing all eyes to its second-day performance. Let's now look at how it fared on the second day. How much did it collect on Day 2? Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced the second-day collections of "Kalki 2898 AD." After bagging Rs. 191.5 crores on the first day, the film managed to gather Rs. 298.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide over two days, as stated by the makers who also posted a special poster on social media to mark the occasion. According to the producers, "Kalki" continued its strong performance by adding another Rs. 107 crores (GROSS) on the second day. However, compared to the first day's collections, there was a significant drop of 80% in the revenues. This downturn has led to disappointment among Prabhas’s fans as the film failed to reach the anticipated Rs. 350 crores mark within the first two days, barely crossing Rs. 300 crores instead. First Day All-Time Record The film "Kalki" has created a sensation in North America, winning over audiences with the performances of Prabhas and other leading actors. In this region, "Kalki" set an all-time record by earning $3.8 million from the premieres on its opening day, marking the highest first-day collection ever achieved by an Indian film in North America. This milestone placed "Kalki" at the top, followed by "RRR" (which made $3.46 million), "Salaar" ($2.6 million), and "Baahubali 2" ($2.45 million) in the subsequent positions. RRR's Record Remains Safe! According to trade experts, "Kalki 2898 AD" could not surpass the record set by "RRR," which remains the top-grossing Indian film on day one with Rs. 223 crores (GROSS). "Kalki" ended its first day with Rs. 180 crores, failing to break the record held by "Baahubali 2," which is in second place with Rs. 217 crores. However, "Kalki" did surpass other major films like "KGF 2" (Rs. 164.5 crores), "Salaar" (Rs. 158 crores), "Adipurush" (Rs. 136.8 crores), and "Saaho" (Rs. 125.6 crores), securing its place in the top three. Impact of Match on Collections! The promotional efforts for "Kalki 2898 AD" fell short compared to films like "Baahubali 2" and "RRR." Greater promotional activities could have potentially led to new box office records. Additionally, the T-20 World Cup match between India and England on Thursday evening (June 27) diverted the audience’s attention, negatively impacting the film's collections on its opening day. The fact that it was a working day also affected the revenue. With the World Cup final scheduled for today (June 29), there's a possibility of further impacts on the movie's third-day collections.

With the positive talk coming from all sides, audiences are showing great enthusiasm for this movie. As 'Kalki' becomes a super hit, everyone's attention is now focused on its first-day collections. The film, a visual wonder in the mythology-futuristic genre, was estimated by trade circles to collect over ₹200 crores on its first day. Did 'Kalki' reach that mark? How did Prabhas' mania impact the box office? What all-time record did 'Kalki' create in the US? Let's find out in this review. Day 1 Collections All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, has officially announced the first day's earnings. The makers declared that 'Kalki' amassed ₹191.5 crores (GROSS) worldwide on its first day. They also released a special poster with the caption "Let's Celebrate Cinema." Initially, trade circles had predicted that 'Kalki' would collect over ₹200 crores on its first day, with analyses suggesting that all previous Day 1 records would be broken. However, 'Kalki' narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark. Despite this, industry experts predict that 'Kalki' will surely join the ₹500 crore club by the end of this weekend. All-Time Record Prabhas' 'Kalki' is creating a sensation in North America. The local audience is impressed by the performances of Prabhas and other top stars. Consequently, 'Kalki' set an all-time record in North America. It garnered a whopping $3.8 million from North American premieres, the highest collection for an Indian film in that region. 'Kalki' has thus achieved the distinction of being the first Indian film to earn this much. Following 'Kalki' are 'RRR' ($3.46 million), 'Salaar' ($2.6 million), and 'Baahubali 2' ($2.45 million). Overseas Collections Combining premieres and first-day collections, trade circles report that 'Kalki' collected $5 million on its first day in America. Among Telugu films, 'Kalki' secured the 5th position for the highest collections in just one day. It also set a record as the fastest film to collect $5 million. If these collections continue, 'Kalki' is expected to set a benchmark overseas. Experts predict that the collections will increase further over the weekend. 'RRR' Record Safe! According to trade figures, 'Kalki 2898 AD' could not surpass the 'RRR' record. 'RRR' collected ₹223 crores (GROSS) on its first day, making it the top Indian film in terms of Day 1 collections. As per trade estimates, 'Kalki 2898 AD' halted at ₹180 crores, leaving the 'RRR' record intact. 'Baahubali 2' stands in second place with ₹217 crores. While 'Kalki' couldn't break these records, it surpassed the records of 'KGF 2' (₹164.5 crores), 'Salaar' (₹158 crores), 'Adipurush' (₹136.8 crores), and 'Saaho' (₹125.6 crores) to secure a place in the top three. Match Effect on Collections The 'Kalki 2898 AD' team lagged in promoting the film on a grand scale like 'Baahubali 2' and 'RRR.' If they had done extensive promotions, the movie might have created new records. The T20 World Cup also affected the film's collections. The audience's interest in watching the India-England semi-final match on Thursday evening turned into a slight disadvantage. Additionally, Thursday being a working day impacted 'Kalki's' collections. However, with positive talk everywhere, the collections of 'Kalki' are expected to increase significantly over the weekend.

      Unveiling the Mystique of 'Kalki 2898 AD', a Cinematic Marvel
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, has generated global buzz, with predictions of becoming a super hit. It has impressed audiences worldwide with its Hollywood-level visuals and the actors' remarkable transformations. Achieving this success required significant effort from the Kalki team. As the film continues to draw special attention, let's delve into some secrets behind 'Kalki 2898 AD'. 40 years later It is well known that Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan played major roles in 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Amitabh portrayed Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan as the antagonist Supreme Yashkin. Remarkably, this film marks nearly 40 years since they last acted together, their previous collaboration being the 1985 film 'Geraftaar'. After 4 decades, they have reunited for 'Kalki'. Kamal’s New Getup Kamal Haasan's appearance in 'Kalki 2898 AD' is quite unique and distinct. Numerous looks were considered in the process of finalizing his appearance, none of which initially satisfied director Nag Ashwin. Eventually, the Kalki team consulted Hollywood makeup experts in Los Angeles, leading to the final look that Kamal Haasan sports in the film. 5 hours for Makeup Ashwatthama's look in the movie has also greatly impressed the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, at 81, has brilliantly embodied this character. The makeup for Ashwatthama took about three hours to apply and an additional two hours to remove, totaling five hours dedicated solely to makeup, according to the film unit. ₹4 crores for Bujji The futuristic vehicle 'Bujji', ridden by Prabhas in 'Kalki', was a significant endeavor by the film unit. It was developed with the cooperation of the Mahindra Research Valley team and Jayam Auto Engineering in Coimbatore. Reportedly, around ₹4 crores were spent just on this car. 700 VFX Shots Director Nag Ashwin created three futuristic worlds in 'Kalki': Kashi, Shambala, and a complex. Kashi is depicted as lifeless, Shambala as a refugee zone, and the complex as resource-rich. To showcase these, the film extensively used VFX, employing around 700 VFX shots. Hollywood VFX 'Kalki 2898 AD' is being talked about as a visual wonder, thanks to the involvement of Hollywood-level VFX companies. The VFX team that has worked on major Hollywood films like Harry Potter, Interstellar, Dune, and Blade Runner worked on 'Kalki'. Record-breaking Budget 'Kalki 2898 AD' stands as the film with the highest budget in Indian cinema history, with production costs reportedly exceeding ₹600 crores. According to trade sources, a significant portion of this budget was spent not just on actor salaries and sets, but predominantly on high-quality visuals and advanced VFX. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/kalki-2898-ad-movie-review-an-epic-sci-fi-saga-starring-prabhas-and-an-ensemble-cast.html
