Nani's latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections) released on Thursday (August 29) has garnered positive buzz. Along with Nani, the villain played by S.J. Suryah has received accolades from the audience. Consequently, the film is creating a storm at the box office. Despite continuous heavy rains across Telugu states over the past three days, Nani's film's momentum has not slowed down. Furthermore, daily theater occupancy has been increasing. In this context, how much did Nani's film collect over the weekend? Let's look at the collections for the first four days.



Weekend Collections: How much?



The film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," starring Nani as the hero and Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead, is exceeding everyone's expectations and is showering the box office with collections. The makers have officially announced that the film has grossed ₹68.72 crores worldwide in the first four days. They also released a special poster to mark this achievement. According to trade sources, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" has collected ₹33.50 crores in India and ₹18 crores overseas. The film has reportedly earned ₹29.65 crores in the two Telugu states. Additionally, it has collected ₹4.65 crores in Karnataka, ₹3.23 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹27 lakhs in Kerala, and ₹1.45 crores in the rest of India.







Heading towards the ₹100 crore mark...



Given the performance of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' at the box office, it appears easily poised to reach the ₹100 crore mark. It has already collected nearly ₹60 crores in just four days. Trade circles believe that if not for the cyclonic conditions in Telugu states, the collections could have been even higher. If the rain impact diminishes, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has a chance to significantly increase its collections, potentially crossing ₹100 crores effortlessly. Nani's film 'Dasara' was the only one to surpass ₹100 crores in his career so far. Fans are eagerly anticipating this to be his second film to cross that mark.







Coming to OTT in a month..!



'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' (Saripodhaa Sanivaaram OTT), the film by Nani in collaboration with Vivek Athreya, is set to debut on OTT platforms within a month. Strong buzz suggests it will stream on Netflix starting September 26, available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, there is no clear information yet about the Hindi version. There's also a possibility that the Hindi version might stream on Jio Cinema. Depending on the collections and audience response, changes to the OTT release date might occur.







Highlights of the film



Vivek Athreya, recognized as a classic director from his films 'Mental Madhilo', 'Brochevarevarura', and 'Ante Sundaraniki', introduces his rural mass style through this film. Differing from his usual style, the film is crafted with breathtaking action scenes and has been receiving accolades. Nani and S.J. Suryah's performances, the action sequences, and the background music by Jakes Bejoy are major highlights. Notably, the Tom and Jerry-style scenes between the hero and the villain have delighted the audience. However, the film's length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and a predictable storyline are seen as drawbacks.







'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Storyline



Surya (Nani), working as an LIC agent, cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturdays to unleash his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem suffer under the tyranny of police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), who abuses his power to oppress them. Amid dramatic events, the hero decides to stand with the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the ruthless police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? What prompts him to act specifically on Saturdays? What is his love track with the heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.






Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Weekend Collections: ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ is unstoppable even with Heavy Rains.


Natural Star Nani continues to impress with a variety of films. His latest, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya, was released on August 29 and received widespread positive feedback. Alongside Nani, S.J. Suryah's role as the villain has been particularly praised by audiences, though some aspects have been critiqued on social media. Overall, Nani's film has garnered positive reviews and achieved impressive first-day earnings. Let's look at the details now.



What are the first day collections?



'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' featuring Nani and Priyanka Arul Mohan, has met expectations on its first day at the box office, collecting ₹20.3 crores (GROSS) worldwide. The film earned ₹8.8 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone. Overseas, it gathered ₹7.6 crores. Additionally, it made ₹1.4 crores in Karnataka and ₹2.5 crores in the rest of India. Given the positive reviews, the film is expected to maintain solid earnings over the weekend. The spike in ticket bookings following the film's success is attributed to its hit status.







Less than 'Dasara'!



Nani's previous film, 'Hi Nanna,' grossed ₹10.5 crores on its opening day. 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has doubled those earnings, a notable achievement. However, it still falls short of Nani’s earlier film 'Dasara,' a high-voltage action drama directed by Srikanth Odela, which made over ₹38 crores on its first day, marking the highest opening in Nani's career. Compared to 'Dasara,' 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' earned about ₹18 crores less, yet it still holds the record for the second-highest opening in Nani's career.







Highlights of the Film



Recognized as a classic director for films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' Vivek Athreya has introduced his rustic mass appeal with this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted captivating action sequences that have won accolades. The performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah, the action scenes, and the background score by Jakes Bejoy are highlights of the film. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-style confrontations between the hero and the villain have delighted audiences. However, the film's excessive length, lack of twists, absence of commercial elements, and predictable storyline have been pointed out as drawbacks.

Natural Star Nani stars in the latest film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' directed by Vivek Athreya. Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the heroine, and prominent Tamil actor S.J. Suryah portrays the antagonist. Director Vivek Athreya, known for engaging audiences with class films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' has now ventured into the mass genre. Deviating from his usual style, he presents a powerful action drama in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.' The recently released trailer has significantly heightened expectations. The film had a grand worldwide release on August 29. How did it fare? Did Nani's performance impress? Let's find out in this review.







What's the Story?



Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent. He cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes and chooses Saturdays to showcase his rage. Meanwhile, the residents of Sokulapalem suffer from various hardships. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them, using his authority to perpetrate acts of brutality. Amidst dramatic developments, the hero decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the cruel police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? Why does the hero specifically choose Saturday to unleash his fury? What's the love track with heroine Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the face-off between hero and villain? That forms the story.







How Did They Perform?



Hero Nani excelled in the role of Surya. He showcased his versatility in the action sequences. Nani's acting in this film is distinct from his previous movies. He also made his mark in emotional scenes. S.J. Suryah as the antagonist was compelling, dominating some scenes over Nani. Both their performances are definitely the highlights of the film. Priyanka Arul Mohan played a settled role as a lady constable, impressing in a character-driven role. The unique love track between Nani and Priyanka will appeal to the audience. Saikumar, Ajay, Murali Sharma, and other actors justified their roles well.







How's the Direction?



Director Vivek Athreya, recognized for his classical approach in previous films, introduces his mass flair in this movie. Despite using a routine story, his unique making style has won applause. The director devoted much of the first half to introducing characters. Nani's childhood, the concept of Saturday, the introduction to the heroine, and an engaging interval block kept the first half interesting. The second half was filled with Tom and Jerry-like scenes and action sequences between Nani and S.J. Suryah. However, the lengthy duration negatively impacted the film. Some scenes felt too stretched, and the predictability of the storyline also turned out to be a drawback.







Technically Speaking



On the technical front, Jakes Bejoy's music was captivating, with appealing songs and a background score that added strength to the film, especially enhancing the action sequences. The cinematography also stood out. The editor could have been a bit sharper with the cuts. Production values were high.







Plus Points

Nani Shines in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Amidst Mixed Reactions.


Whenever one thinks of a self-made hero from this generation, Nani is the first name that comes to mind. Coming into the industry without any background, Nani has carved out a unique fan base for himself. Meanwhile, Nani's latest movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' is set to release this Thursday at a pan-India level. The trailer has already been received with great enthusiasm, boosting the confidence of Nani's fans about the film's success. However, new fears have recently emerged among Nani's fans, leading to their anxiety. What is bothering them? What could be the reasons? Let's find out in this story.



Runtime Worries!



The natural star Nani stars in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya and produced by DVV Danayya. Priyanka Mohan is cast opposite Nani in this film. The movie has just completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate, with a fixed runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes. This has led to concerns among Nani's fans. Their previous movie under the Nani-Vivek Athreya combination, 'Ante Sundaraniki,' had a runtime of 3 hours and ended up disappointing the fans. Now, with 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also approaching with a lengthy runtime, fans fear a repeat of the previous experience. They believe that even if the story is good, a lengthy runtime could lead to viewer fatigue.







Villain Takes the Upper Hand!



In 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Tamil actor S.J. Suryah acts as Nani's antagonist, portraying a ruthless police officer. It seems that S.J. Suryah's role might overshadow Nani's, as the hero's role is expected to be quite subdued for the most part. Rumors suggest that the hero will have a significant impact only on Saturdays, with a more relaxed demeanor on other days. Film analysts predict that S.J. Suryah's role will leave a strong impression on the movie. Observing the recent trailer, while Nani's performance was commendable, S.J. Suryah, as the villain, had a more impactful presence. His acting prowess was striking, causing Nani's fans to express their concerns. They fear the situation if S.J. Suryah's performance eclipses their hero's.







Revealing the Plot Too Soon!



Actor S.J. Suryah is bringing new challenges to the 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' team. During promotional interviews, he has been openly discussing the plot, shocking everyone. He revealed why the hero only becomes active on Saturdays in one interview. At a recent promotional event, he even discussed the film's runtime before the censor was complete. This premature revelation of the movie's key points has led to fan unrest. Fans argue on social media about the loss of intrigue if everything is revealed beforehand. They are using S.J. Suryah's dialogue from the movie 'Maanaadu' – "He comes, he shoots, he repeats" – to ironically describe his current promotional tactics.







You'll See the Dance of Shiva in Theaters



At the recent pre-release event of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Hero Nani made intriguing comments. "You will see Vivek's dance of Shiva in theaters on August 29. Everyone has worked hard for this film. It's a milestone. When I was feeling tense about the film, just listening to Jakes Bejoy's music took all that tension away. Bring extra bags of paper; Jakes has put in a lot of effort. Producer Danayya is a very positive person. He hopes for the best for the film. That's why good stories are always searching for him," said Nani, highlighting the collective effort and the anticipation surrounding the movie.

The latest poster hints that Vishwak will be seen in a police officer role, promising an action drama. More details about 'VS13' are expected to be revealed soon.







In Khaki Again...



This is not the first time Vishwak Sen has donned a police uniform. He was previously seen as a powerful police officer in 'HIT: The First Case' directed by Sailesh Kolanu, which was well-received. His performance in the cop role has excited audiences, and he is expected to deliver another commendable performance in 'VS13'.







Vishwak’s Busy Schedule...



Vishwak is currently busy with two films. He is acting in 'Mechanic Rocky', directed by Raviteja Mullapudi, with Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine.

His previous film 'Das Ka Dhamki', which he also directed, brought him notable acclaim, featuring a dual role that enthralled viewers. Nivetha Pethuraj starred as the heroine in this hit project.






Vishwak Sen: Romance with Pawan Kalyan's Heroine... Exciting Combo Loading!


Director Sekhar Kammula, known for crafting classic films in Tollywood, especially youthful love entertainers, has carved a distinct identity for himself. Meanwhile, Natural Star Nani is also popularly seen as a 'lover boy' and is currently riding high after the success of his recent movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'. Amidst this backdrop, there is widespread buzz about an upcoming film under the direction of Sekhar Kammula starring Nani. It's being talked about that Sai Pallavi might join as the heroine for this movie.



Super Combo Loading



An exciting new combination is set to take shape in Tollywood with Nani and Sekhar Kammula teaming up for a new film, according to social media buzz. Tollywood circles are also abuzz with the prospects of this pairing. The script for this movie is reportedly ready, and Nani is expected to hear the final narration soon. The film is said to be a fresh love entertainer, and Sekhar Kammula is considering casting Sai Pallavi as the heroine, which is expected to be a great addition. If all goes as planned, an official announcement regarding this movie may be expected soon.







A Departure from Usual Style



Sekhar Kammula typically does not think about other projects while working on one, focusing entirely on the current film. However, he seems to have departed from this approach as he is already preparing stories for future projects while wrapping up current ones. This strategy might reduce the gap between his film releases. It is also noted that while working on these projects, Sekhar Kammula is already preparing the story for Nani's film. Currently, he is busy shooting 'Kubera', a pan-India film starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Telugu cinema stalwart Nagarjuna.







A First Time for This Combo



Till now, there hasn't been a film that brought Nani and Sekhar Kammula together. Sekhar has expressed his desire to work with Nani on multiple occasions. However, he has worked with Sai Pallavi in two films previously. She was introduced to the industry as a heroine with his film 'Fidaa', and she was also the leading lady in the film 'Love Story' starring Naga Chaitanya. Both these films were blockbuster successes and brought significant recognition to Sai Pallavi as an actress. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Nani have already worked together in two films, 'MCA' (Middle Class Abbayi) and 'Shyam Singha Roy', both of which received positive responses. Fans are eagerly anticipating a hat-trick success from their combo.







Will it Take a While?



After the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram', Nani is currently gearing up for 'Hit 3' under the direction of Sailesh Kolanu. A glimpse of this film was recently released and captured attention. Additionally, Nani is planning another film with director Sujeeth and another with the director of 'Dasara'. Given these commitments, it might take another two years for this rare combo to be set, and Sekhar Kammula is also busy with the filming of 'Kubera'.






Nani and Sekhar Kammula Set for a First-Time Collaboration, Sai Pallavi Likely to Join


Compared to the past few months, August has seen significant releases featuring big stars, and the final week of August is no exception with the release of a star hero's film.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (29th &amp; 30th&nbsp; August)


Prominent directors and producers in Tollywood are adopting a new trend by announcing release dates even before the completion of movie shootings. Due to delays and other issues during production, they often have to quickly announce new dates if they fail to release on the initially promised date. This practice of locking dates in advance for big-budget movies is reportedly causing issues for smaller films and tier-2 heroes. Natural Star Nani has responded strongly to this issue, which has become a hot topic in the industry.



'That attitude is not correct'



It is natural for films to be postponed. Reasons such as adjustments of actor dates, VFX delays, and other shooting delays often lead to postponements. However, the frequency of delays has increased recently. Nani has made fiery comments about the practice of announcing release dates without certainty and then postponing them. During promotions for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," he addressed this issue, stating, "Announcing a release date without clarity harms many. We should set a date only if the movie is ready; otherwise, we should wait. This attitude of announcing a date and then changing it isn’t right." These comments have sparked significant discussion within Tollywood, with both industry insiders and netizens supporting Nani’s views.







Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?



Nani did not specifically mention any film in his latest comments, but industry circles are discussing that he was referring to the 'Pushpa 2' team. Reportedly, Nani's "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" was initially targeted for an August 15 release at the beginning of its production. However, since Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' had already locked that date, the "Saripodhaa" team had to reschedule for late August (August 29). Unexpectedly, the 'Pushpa 2' team moved their release to December 6, releasing a special poster to announce it. This shift allowed other films like "Double iSmart," "Mr. Bachchan," "Thangalaan," and "Aay" to move their schedules to August 15. Considering this, Nani had to bring his film on August 29. The timing of 'Pushpa 2' locking August 15 initially led to the loss of a long weekend for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," prompting speculation that Nani's comments were an indirect warning to them.







Run Time Fixed for Nani’s Movie!



Nani's latest film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release on Thursday, August 29. Priyanka Arul Mohan stars as the heroine. The film has recently completed its censor formalities and has reportedly received a U/A certification. S.J. Suryah, who plays the villain, revealed that the runtime has been fixed at 2 hours and 50 minutes. This follows the earlier Nani-Vivek Athreya collaboration "Ante Sundaraniki," which also had a runtime of around three hours.






Natural Star Nani: Indirect Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?


Priyanka Arul Mohan is among the leading actresses from South India. Having faced many challenges at the start of her career, she is now continuing as a star heroine. She has earned a unique recognition for herself by acting alongside star heroes like Suriya, Dhanush, Nani, Sivakarthikeyan, and Jayam Ravi. Currently, she is catching everyone's eye by acting in 'OG' alongside Pawan. Today is Priyanka Mohan's birthday (HBD Priyanka Mohan), marking her entry into the 29th year. Let’s take this opportunity to learn some interesting aspects of her career.



Priyanka Mohan was born on November 20, 1995, in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, where she also completed her education, earning a degree in Biological Engineering.







Priyanka's mother is Kannadiga while her father is of Tamil descent, which made her proficient in both Kannada and Tamil.







During her engineering studies, Priyanka participated in several plays and acted in two or three commercials.







Priyanka revealed in an interview that her friends pooled money to make a movie with her during that time.







She clarified that her first Kannada film was 'Ondu Kathe Hella,' but she didn’t tell her family she was making the film.







After its release, her family was shocked to see Priyanka in the film but didn't say a word and instead encouraged her.







Despite her interest in acting, Priyanka never thought about entering films; she dreamed of securing a good job.







If she hadn’t entered the industry, Priyanka mentioned she would have been working in a reputable corporate firm by now.







Priyanka made her Telugu debut with 'Gang Leaders.' On her first day of shooting, seeing veteran actors like Lakshmi and Saranya made her very nervous.







She questioned her worthiness of acting with such accomplished actors and directly asked the director Vikram if he had made a hasty decision in casting her.







From a young age, Priyanka admired Suriya. She was thrilled to get a chance to act with him in 'ET.' After shooting, when Suriya sent her a gift, she excitedly posted it on Instagram.







Priyanka is known for her gentle nature, speaks very little wherever she goes, and has very few friends.







She admires actresses like Nithya Menen, Anushka, and Nazriya, and loves their acting, as she has mentioned on multiple occasions.







Unlike other actresses who might take off on vacations if there’s a shooting gap, Priyanka prefers to rest at home or engage in her favorite activities during her free time, occasionally going on trips.







Getting up early in the morning is quite challenging for Priyanka, and she admitted in an interview that she used to be very lazy about exercising in the early days of her career.







Priyanka is an excellent cook, especially of chicken dishes, which she claims to prepare very deliciously.



        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Priyanka Mohan (@priyankaamohanofficial)



She emphasized that her day must start with a cup of coffee; without it, her day doesn't start at all.







Priyanka tries to be the same off-screen as she appears in films, preferring traditional roles over glamorous ones.







In Telugu, she has acted in 'Gang Leader,' 'Sreekaram,' and recently in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' and is currently acting with Pawan in 'OG.'







In Tamil, she has worked with Sivakarthikeyan in 'Doctor' and 'Don,' and with Dhanush in 'Captain Miller,' all of which were also dubbed into Telugu.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (10th&nbsp; May)


In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out.



Sekhar Kammula



When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once.







Hanu Raghavapudi



Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest.







Vivek Athreya



Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles.







Shouryuv



Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects.







Tharun Bhascker



Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.






Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines


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.






Nani and Vijay Deverakonda: Battling Nepotism in Tollywood's Tier 2


The film 'Devara: Part 1,' starring Jr NTR, is garnering nationwide expectations. Directed by Koratala Siva, this film is set to hit the screens in exactly 23 days, greeting global audiences on September 27. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak, with Hindi cinema stalwarts Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol playing villainous roles, generating significant buzz for the film. Amidst this, recent news about the runtime of 'Devara' is circulating online, causing concern among Tarak's fans.



What is the runtime?



In the works under the combination of Tarak and Koratala, 'Devara' is currently in the midst of post-production. Reports suggest that the film's runtime has been finalized. The industry is abuzz that the Devara team has locked a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes. Fans are expressing concern, fearing that such a lengthy duration might be cumbersome. Most films exceeding 3 hours have struggled to engage audiences. However, it's too soon to declare this as Devara's final runtime since the movie still has to undergo censorship review. There's a possibility that the duration might reduce if the censor board decides to make cuts.







Will Koratala's magic work?



Regardless of the cuts made by the censor board, analysts believe that Devara’s runtime is unlikely to be less than 3 hours. The success of the film is expected to hinge on Koratala's screenplay. Considering his past directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Bharat Ane Nenu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Srimanthudu', Koratala's direction prowess is well recognized. He has successfully turned simple storylines into gripping dramas with engaging screenplays. If he repeats this magic in 'Devara', it could be a delight for the fans. The recently released 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also had a runtime of nearly 3 hours, yet managed to impress with its excellent action drama and the direction skills of Vivek Athreya, combined with the outstanding performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah.







Films Affected by Long Durations!



Recent releases like 'Bharateeyudu 2', 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', and 'Ante Sundaraniki' arrived with lengthy runtimes and received a lukewarm response. Despite 'Bharateeyudu 2' being set aside, the other two films had good content but failed to captivate the audience. In 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', although Ravi Teja delivered a commendable performance, the extended duration resulted in a dragging sensation among the audience. 'Ante Sundaraniki' faced similar criticism despite its unique concept of challenges faced by a couple from different faiths. The excessive length was perceived as making the movie feel like a serial.







New Poster Release



Today marks the release of the third song from the film Devara. Having already released the first single, 'Fire Song', and the second single, 'Chuttamalle', both songs are trending on YouTube. However, the makers have announced that a third single titled 'Daavudi' will be released this evening at 5:04 PM. In line with this, a special poster featuring Tarak and Janhvi Kapoor in a romantic pose has also been released, captivating the audience.

Is this the story of 'Devara'?



It is reported that the plot of 'Devara' is based on real-life incidents as penned by director Koratala Siva. According to the latest buzz, the film portrays a brutal massacre of Dalits, drawing from events that once shook united Andhra Pradesh. It is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits fell victim to upper caste violence in 1985. Reliable sources confirm that Koratala Siva has planned to showcase this real-life incident in 'Devara,' significantly heightening expectations for the film. Currently, there is no official clarification from the film unit regarding the ongoing speculation on social media.






Devara: A Gripping Tale with High Expectations, But Will Its Runtime Test Audiences?


The comments made by Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi about Pan-India star Prabhas have caused significant uproar at the national level. Warsi compared Prabhas's character in the movie "Kalki 2898 AD" to a joker, sparking widespread criticism from fans and celebrities alike. Accusations are flying that Bollywood can't handle the success of Tollywood movies at the Pan-India level, showing jealousy, resentment, and envy. Amidst this, "Kalki's" director Nag Ashwin responded. His post on platform X has now become a hot topic.



'Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully'



Recently, Nag Ashwin reacted to Arshad Warsi’s comments. A netizen posted a scene from "Kalki," captioning it as equivalent to the entire Bollywood industry. Nag Ashwin replied, advising against dividing lines like Tollywood versus Bollywood and urged everyone to move forward together, stating that we are all part of one industry. "Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully, but no worries. We will send Kalki toys for his children. I will work harder on the second part of Kalki and make sure Prabhas looks his best," he tweeted. Nag Ashwin emphasized ignoring hatred and moving forward, which Prabhas also advocates.

Arshad Receives Sharp Retort from Nani



Hero Nani also responded in his style to the comments Arshad Warsi made about Prabhas, noting that Warsi had never received such publicity before. These comments have also gone viral online. Bollywood audiences and Warsi's fans strongly criticized Nani's remarks. While promoting the Hindi version of "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" in Mumbai, Nani spoke to the media and retracted his statements, reflecting on his words. He reminded everyone that Arshad, widely recognized from the "Munna Bhai" series, should be careful with his words when speaking as an actor.



'Anti-Indian Arshad'



Social media is ablaze with Prabhas's fans attacking Arshad Warsi, digging up his controversial past posts. A netizen uncovered a tweet from 2012 where Arshad mentioned he was going to Afghanistan for a meeting and might move there, claiming it was safer than India.

Strong Counter from Telugu Heroes



Sudheer Babu recently responded to Arshad Warsi’s comments about Prabhas in his unique style. He condemned Warsi's lack of professionalism, expressing surprise that such words could come from him and stating that small-minded people could not touch a statue-like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also criticized Warsi, indirectly scolding him and highlighting Prabhas's secure position in the industry. "Without Prabhas, there would be no Kalki movie. His role was truly marvelous, perhaps that's why they are jealous," he wrote on X.
