There is significant buzz in Tollywood about the movie 'Thandel', starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine. This romantic action drama is shaping up after their blockbuster 'Love Story'. As this is the second film from the Chaitu-Sai Pallavi combo, expectations are high for 'Thandel'. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting its release, and a thrilling update from 'Thandel' has just been released, delighting cinema fans.



Shivaratri Special Song



The film 'Thandel', directed by Chandu Mondeti and featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is currently in the shooting phase. A Shivaratri-themed song is being filmed, for which a massive set has been erected. The makers have reportedly spent around 4 crores to make this song a visual treat, involving hundreds of dancers. According to Filmnagar circles, Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya are set to dazzle with dance styles reminiscent of Shiva and Parvati. This is the first time a song of this scale with a Shivaratri theme has been composed in the history of Telugu cinema. Photos from the shooting spot released by the film unit are currently trending online, showcasing Chaitu and Sai Pallavi invoking the essence of Shiva and Parvati.

Here is the story of Thandel



'Thandel', the 23rd film in Naga Chaitanya's career, features music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this movie, Naga Chaitanya appears as a fisherman. A group of fishermen from Srikakulam go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistan Coast Guard. The film unfolds with what happens next. The term 'Thandel' means a boat operator in Gujarati and is commonly used by the people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview.







Chaitu’s Hopes Pinned on Thandel



Currently, Naga Chaitanya has set all his hopes on his next film 'Thandel'. After 'Love Story', he has not had a proper hit, with his recent films 'Bangarraju', 'Thank You', 'Laal Singh Chaddha', and last year's 'Custody' being failures at the box office. Therefore, Naga Chaitanya is determined to find success with 'Thandel'. He has reportedly put in a lot of effort for his role as a fisherman. The film is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind, who also produced Naga Chaitanya's hit film '100% Love' under Geetha Arts.







Sai Pallavi’s Projects



Currently, Sai Pallavi has some exciting projects in hand. She is acting alongside Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan in the film 'Amaran', which is set to hit theaters on October 31. She is also part of the prestigious Bollywood project 'Ramayana', where she will be seen as Sita. It is reported that she is receiving remuneration of over 15 crores for this role. Additionally, news has surfaced that Sai Pallavi has been chosen as the heroine in an upcoming film by director Sekhar Kammula, featuring hero Nani.






'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!


In Tollywood, some pairings create a strong fan base. One such duo is Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and the beautiful Pooja Hegde. Their combo in the movie 'Oka Laila Kosam' captured the audience's attention well, and there were rave reviews about their chemistry. However, they haven't acted together since then. To date, no other films featuring this duo have been released. But there's strong buzz that this pair will be acting together again soon. Akkineni fans are eagerly waiting to see them together on screen once more.



With the Director of Virupaksha...



The film 'Virupaksha' starring Sai Dharam Tej created a sensation in Tollywood, and the director Karthik Varma Dandu received widespread acclaim. Now, there's talk that Naga Chaitanya is set to do a movie with this director. Film circles are discussing that this will be a supernatural thriller. It's reported that Pooja Hegde is being considered for the heroine role. Director Karthik Varma is expected to meet her soon to narrate the story. The film team is hopeful that she will agree to star opposite Chaitu. The movie announcement is likely to include the names of the hero and heroine. However, netizens are humorously commenting that the romance might be slightly awkward since Pooja is taller than Naga Chaitanya.







Pooja Hegde's Future Projects



For the past three years, things haven't been going well for Pooja Hegde. Starting with 'Radhe Shyam' with Prabhas, her series of flops continued with 'Beast,' 'Acharya,' 'Circus,' and 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.' After taking a break from films, she spent quality time with her family. Meanwhile, makers also sidelined her for a while. However, she recently started receiving new offers. She has secured roles in the movies 'Deva,' 'Surya 44,' and 'Thalapathy 69.' If the project with Chaitu goes ahead, it will be her first Telugu film after 'Acharya.'







Chaitu Coming with 'Thandel'



Currently, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is acting in the film 'Thandel.' Sai Pallavi is starring alongside him. This is their second film together after the blockbuster 'Love Story,' so expectations are high for 'Thandel.' In this film, Naga Chaitanya will be seen as a fisherman. Currently, all his hopes are pinned on this movie. His recent films 'Bangarraju,' 'Thank You,' 'Laal Singh Chaddha,' and last year's 'Custody' were not successful at the box office. Thus, he is determined to achieve success with 'Thandel.' The movie is scheduled to release on February 7, 2025. It is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA 2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind. Geetha Arts previously produced '100% Love' with Naga Chaitanya as the hero.







Chai - Sobhita Wedding in December!



After his divorce from Samantha, Tollywood star Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The wedding is scheduled to take place on December 4. The festivities will begin with the Sangeet on December 2, Mehendi on December 3, and the wedding on December 4. A grand reception is also planned for December 10. The wedding will take place at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. Preparations at Annapurna Studios have already begun, with ongoing setting and decoration work. It's known that only a few people will be invited to the wedding, but the reception will include family, friends, and notable figures from the cinema and political spheres.

Pawan Kalyan: 100% Strike Rate in Maharashtra Elections Too – BJP Wins Historic Seat!


Power Star Pawan Kalyan has made an indelible mark not only in Tollywood but also in AP politics. In the recent AP Assembly elections, 21 MLAs and two MPs from the Jana Sena contested and won, demonstrating their strength. After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide. In this context, a question related to Pawan Kalyan was asked in the famous Hindi TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, the video related to this is going viral online.



What Was the Question?



The current season, the 16th of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' is ongoing, with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. The show airs every Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony TV. In a recent episode, Big B asked a contestant a question related to Pawan Kalyan. "Who assumed the role of Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024?" was the question. The contestant chose the 'Audience Poll' lifeline for this question. Over 50% of the audience suggested it was Pawan Kalyan. The contestant locked in Pawan's name, and it turned out to be the correct answer, winning them ₹1.60 lakhs and moving on to the next question.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1834848187862986820




Pawan's Lineup



Currently, Pawan Kalyan has three major films lined up. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG' are in his pipeline. Director Krish has already stepped down from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and Jayakrishna has taken over the responsibilities. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' is to be directed by Harish Shankar. Pawan has also commenced 'OG' with young director Sujeeth. Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time.







Busy in Politics



Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume.







Good News for Pawan Fans



Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

Nandamuri Balakrishna's popular talk show, Unstoppable Season 4, is continuing its successful run, streaming on the prominent OTT platform Aha with record-breaking views. Starting with a lively episode featuring AP CM Chandrababu, the series has seen a host of star heroes grace the stage. So far, celebrities like Dulquer Salmaan, Suriya, and Allu Arjun have shared their secrets with Balayya. Now, the stage is set for star heroine Sreeleela and young hero Naveen Polishetty to make their appearance. A photo shared by Aha related to this episode is going viral online.



Reel and Real Gem



Hosted by Nandamuri Balakrishna, Unstoppable Season 4 has been a playground for star heroes. In the latest episode, both star heroine Sreeleela and the young and talented hero Naveen Polishetty will share the stage with Balayya. Aha has recently posted a photo from their episode, where Naveen seems to be cracking everyone up just like in his movies, while Balayya is seen giving a gift to Sreeleela. Naveen, standing at a distance, humorously grabs the gift, mimicking a scene similar to one from his films. Aha commented on the photo, excitingly noting, "Reel and Real Gem of India."







Is There a Special Reason?



Most celebrities come to Balayya's talk show, Unstoppable, as part of their film promotions. Some enjoy casual conversations with him. This time, the episode featuring both Sreeleela and Naveen Polishetty is intriguing as they are not currently co-starring in any film. Rumors had previously circulated about them signing a film together, but it didn't materialize. Netizens are speculating whether there is a particular reason Balayya invited these two young stars to the show. It is anticipated that the questions Balayya poses to them will be quite engaging, with OTT sources claiming they struggled to respond to his witty inquiries. Clarity on these questions might emerge once the episode airs.

Sai Pallavi's latest film 'Amaran' is set to release this Diwali as a festive treat for the audience. The film, set against an army backdrop, has kept Sai Pallavi very busy with promotions. During this period, some netizens have targeted her, calling for a boycott of Sai Pallavi's films on social media. The hashtag #BoycottSaiPallavi is trending nationwide. A video of her past comments, perceived as insulting to the Indian army, has been going viral on social media for the last three days.



What Actually Happened?



As known, the film 'Amaran' is set against an army backdrop. This has brought Sai Pallavi's controversial past comments about the Indian army back into the spotlight, causing the related video to go viral. During the promotions of the movie 'Virata Parvam,' Sai Pallavi gave an interview to a YouTube channel, discussing terrorism and violence. She remarked, "We view Pakistani soldiers as terrorists, and similarly, Pakistanis see our Indian soldiers as terrorists. They think we are harming them. Violence is no solution to any problem. Wars were fought in the past when there was no law. Now, there is no need for that." These comments have ignited fury among netizens.

Demand for Boycott



In the same interview where Sai Pallavi allegedly disrespected the Indian army, she also made remarks that have been construed as offensive to Sanatana Dharma. This video too has gone viral, with netizens campaigning on social media for everyone to boycott Sai Pallavi's films. Nationalist and traditionalist groups are demanding a 100% boycott of Sai Pallavi's films, suggesting that since she favors Pakistan, she might as well make films there. They are criticizing her harshly, saying she is not really the national crush but a different kind of crush. A netizen has also demanded a boycott of her latest film 'Amaran' and even called for her removal from the upcoming Hindi film 'Ramayanam,' in which she is supposed to play Sita. There are demands for stringent action against those who speak ill of Sanatana Dharma. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi's fans are defending her, claiming her words are being twisted and unnecessary controversy is being stirred up.

Sai Pallavi's Emotional Post



Amidst these promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi recently visited the National War Memorial. She paid tribute to soldiers who died for the country, posting photos of the visit on her Instagram. She added emotional words to these images, stating, "Before starting the promotions for Amaran, I wanted to visit the National War Memorial. I went there a few days ago. It is a sacred temple that holds details about soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. I felt very emotional while paying tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan and Soldier Vikram Singh."

Are They Deliberately Targeting Her?



Recently, during the promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi made interesting comments. She mentioned that someone from Bollywood, representing a PR agency, approached her promising to enhance her image. However, she rejected this offer, stating she had no need for such services. Now, accusations are surfacing that this is a targeted campaign to tarnish her image as she is about to make her Bollywood debut with 'Ramayanam.' There are significant comments urging her removal from the role of Sita. Discussions in film circles suggest that the Bollywood PR teams are deliberately targeting Sai Pallavi.

#BoycottSaiPallavi Trends Over Army Comments as Her War Film 'Amaran' Releases; Bollywood PR Drama Exposed?


Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla stars in the latest movie "Pottel," set to release across the two Telugu states on October 25th. Amidst ongoing promotions, Ananya has been quite busy. Recently, after the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya had a bitter experience. A question raised by a journalist about commitments in the industry turned into a hot topic both in Tollywood and on social media. Ananya addressed this issue again and thanked pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for standing by their team.



Praises for Sandeep by Ananya



The movie "Pottel," which stars Yuvachandra Krishna and Ananya Nagalla and is directed by Sahith Mothkuri, is set to hit the screens in three days. A pre-release event was recently held by the makers, where Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for directing films like "Arjun Reddy," "Kabir Singh," and "Animal," attended as the chief guest. Ananya spoke at the event, expressing gratitude for his presence at the promotions of "Pottel," not once but twice, and praised him for his support in elevating a small film to a bigger stage.

After "Rangasthalam," "Pottel" Is It: Sandeep Reddy



Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, as the chief guest, spoke about the film. He mentioned that director Sahith one day told him about the small story he was filming. Upon hearing it, Sandeep felt it wasn't just a small story but a significant one. He had already seen the movie and liked it a lot, saying it was more than he had imagined and that the audience would definitely enjoy it. He praised it as the first full-scale village backdrop film he had seen since "Rangasthalam" and urged everyone to support small films.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1848595831508652364




Decency in Questions: Ananya



At the "Pottel" pre-release event, Ananya Nagalla made some more intriguing comments. She revisited the journalist's question about commitment, mocking its appropriateness. "After going home, I thought about how one could ask such a direct question on a sensitive topic. It made me realize, if one had decency, such questions wouldn't be asked. My dream has always been to earn recognition as an actress, which I have been fighting for at home for five years. After seeing 'Pottel,' everyone at my home will feel proud. The question on commitment spoiled the joy. Now everyone will think I succeeded because I committed, but it’s not true. Just because actresses wear makeup and smile doesn't mean they don't have a heart or a family. Please respect us," Ananya requested.







What Really Happened?



The trailer launch event for the movie "Pottel" recently took place in Hyderabad, with prominent actress Samyuktha Menon releasing the trailer. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla about the casting couch, asking, "Before giving a movie chance to an actress or artist, do you ask for commitments? Have you ever faced this?" Ananya responded, "How can you be so sure that commitments are asked? There's nothing like that." The reporter continued, "But your industry friends said commitments are part of the signing agreements." Ananya clarified, "That's 100% wrong. I have never faced such a situation. It doesn't exist."

Producer of "Mallesham" Fires at Reporter



Netizens criticized the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla, and as the video went viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Siddareddy also responded. He posted a lengthy post on X, criticizing the reporter's inappropriate question during a movie promotion. He mentioned the precautions taken for Ananya's safety during the shooting of "Mallesham" and condemned the harsh nature of the reporter's question, praising Ananya for her fitting response. Ananya thanked Venkat Siddareddy for his support in this matter.

You See Only the Negative: Ananya



Ananya remarked that just like in life, there are both negative and positive aspects in the industry. She criticized the reporter for focusing only on the negative, calling the notion that opportunities are given in exchange for commitments "bullshit." The reporter added, "The industry people say there is one rate if you give a commitment, and another if you don’t." Ananya responded, "You’re saying this without any experience, but I am speaking from experience. There is no such commitment here." The video of this exchange is currently going viral online.







Producer of Mallesham Fires Back at Reporter



Netizens are upset over the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya. With the video going viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Sidda Reddy also responded, criticizing the reporter’s inappropriate question and posted a lengthy post about the precautions taken for Ananya’s safety during the shooting of "Mallesham." He condemned the reporter’s actions, saying it was completely unnecessary in a movie promotion event and praised Ananya for her apt response. Ananya thanked Venkat Sidda Reddy for his support in this matter.

Ananya Nagalla: Shocking Comments on Commitment in the Industry


This week, only two films were released in theaters. One is 'Kanguva', starring Tamil star Suriya, and the other is 'Matka', featuring Mega hero Varun Tej. Released amidst high expectations, both films disappointed the audience and flopped at the box office in Telugu states with dismal openings. The collections were shockingly less than half of what was expected. How much did these movies collect on the first day? What were the reasons for their flop? Let’s take a look.



Kanguva Collections



The film 'Kanguva', directed by Shiva with Kollywood star Suriya, was compared to 'Baahubali' and promoted on a pan-India scale, raising high expectations. Released worldwide grandly on Thursday (November 14), 'Kanguva' initially received negative feedback from the premieres. Consequently, the first-day collections fell short of expectations. Trade sources reported that the film grossed Rs. 40 crores worldwide on the first day, with Rs. 12 crores from Tamil Nadu alone and Rs. 4 crores from the Hindi belt. It is noteworthy that the movie only managed to collect Rs. 6 crores in the Telugu states, where Suriya has a good market. The movie team expected over Rs. 100 crores on the first day but didn’t even make half of that, which was a significant setback. These collections were also primarily from advance bookings, and it is anticipated that the collections will drop further from today.







Where did 'Kanguva' go wrong?



Director Shiva crafted 'Kanguva' by connecting a centuries-old folk tale to the present era. Despite choosing a strong storyline, he completely failed to present it meaningfully. The initial 20 minutes tested the patience of the audience, and even after (Kanguva Review) the character Kanguva appeared on screen, it failed to engage. The introduction of five clans—Pranavakona, Kapala Kona, Sagar Kona, Aranyakona, and Hima Kona—created a confusing atmosphere, and no clan connected with the audience. The loud dialogues of every character only added to the viewer’s irritation. However, Suriya’s performance in the roles of Francis and Kanguva, and Bobby Deol's villainy as Rudhira brought some life to the film.







Matka’s openings were even worse



'Matka', directed by Karuna Kumar with Mega Prince Varun Tej and Meenakshi Chaudhary, also opened on Thursday to negative reviews. As a result, the first-day collections were shockingly low. Trade circles announced that the film only managed to gross Rs. 1.2 crores worldwide, with barely (Matka Review) Rs. 80 lakhs to Rs. 1 crore from the two Telugu states. The occupancy on the first day was less than 20%. The trade circles were also surprised by such a low response to a film released with great expectations.







Reasons for 'Matka’s' flop



Director Karuna Kumar chose a very routine story for 'Matka'. 'A young man with no significant background establishes a large criminal empire' is a plot that has been seen many times before. While the story itself might have been acceptable, the conflict between the characters in the movie was completely lacking. The hero’s rise felt overly cinematic and did not seem natural. There were no real challenges faced by the hero. The efforts of the CBI to capture Vasu, who became a national threat, were not at all interesting. The strategies of the adversaries to defeat him were very weak. Apart from Varun Tej's acting, there was not a single impressive point in the movie, according to the audience who watched it.






Kanguva and Matka Fall Flat: Suriya and Varun Tej's Films Struggle at the Box Office


The centennial celebrations of Akkineni Nageswara Rao were held grandly on Monday at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The event was attended by numerous celebrities including Megastar Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Ram Charan, and Naga Chaitanya. During the event, Chiranjeevi was honored with the 'ANR National Award'. The award was presented to him by Amitabh Bachchan. Subsequently, Chiranjeevi reminisced about a past dispute with Mohan Babu during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.



What Happened?



In 2007, during the 75th anniversary of the Telugu film industry, the Tollywood community celebrated the Diamond Jubilee event where it was decided to honor Megastar Chiru with a Legendary Award. Actor Mohan Babu made some sharp comments about this. He mentioned that some came to honor him as a celebrity, not as a legend, and suggested, "Write a book defining what a legend is and what a celebrity is and then give awards. Am I not a legend for being the first actor from the industry to serve in Rajya Sabha, for educating 25% of poor students for free, for acting in more than 500 films, and producing 45 films?"

What did Chiru say?



Reacting to Mohan Babu's questioning, Chiranjeevi responded strongly. "There are Rama Rao, Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, Vishwanath, and Dasari Narayana Rao; they are the legends. Give the award to them. My peers like Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, and I are of the same age. Don’t separate me from them by giving me this award. I’ve said before that I don’t want the Legendary Award. However, some objected when I was about to receive it. If I am deemed unworthy, I will not accept the award. I will surrender it in a box and will only take it when I am deemed worthy. By the time of the 100-year celebrations, if I become a legend along with Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Pawan Kalyan, and Mahesh Babu, I will accept it. Until then, I bury that award," he stated during the Diamond Jubilee celebration.







What did Chiru say at the ANR event?



At the prestigious ANR National Award ceremony, Megastar Chiranjeevi received the award. Recalling the Diamond Jubilee event, he expressed, "If I consider the Telugu film industry my home, then the opportunity to win came in 2007. I was very happy that everyone agreed to honor me with the Legendary Award. However, due to some adversities, I felt it was not the right time to accept it. I decided to keep the award in a box until I felt worthy. Today, receiving the great ANR award, particularly from Amitabh Bachchan and with my friend Nagarjuna welcoming me wholeheartedly, I feel like I have truly won at home."

‘I was shivering at those words’



Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who presented the award. He noted that whenever something good happens or he receives an award, the first congratulations come from Amitabh. Recalling the Padma Vibhushan award, Chiranjeevi mentioned, "When I received the Padma Vibhushan, Amitabh called me the 'King of Indian Cinema,' which made me shiver. But it filled my heart with immense joy. When I approached him for the role of my mentor in the movie 'Sye Raa,' he immediately agreed without considering formalities (remuneration), saying, ‘No need for that... you are my friend.’"

Best Wireless Earbuds Under Rs. 1000 for Style and Performance


The wave of Pan India films is currently ongoing in the country. Once confined to their own industries, star heroes are now proving their mettle in other industries as well. They are releasing their films at a national level and collecting large sums of money, with some of them amassing over Rs. 100 crores in their accounts on the first day itself. A recent highlight is the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, which raked in Rs. 172 crores on its first day. Let's now review who these star heroes are, who have managed to place their films in the Rs. 100 crore club on day one.



Prabhas



Currently, Prabhas enjoys an unmatched craze in the country. Whenever his film is released, records are expected to break. Prabhas tops as the hero who most frequently earned over Rs. 100 crores on the first day. Prabhas achieved this feat five times with 'Baahubali 2' (Rs. 214.5 crores), 'Saaho' (Rs. 130 crores), 'Adipurush' (Rs. 140 crores), 'Salaar' (Rs. 178.7 crores), and 'Kalki 2898 AD' (Rs. 191.5 crores).







Vijay



Following Prabhas, Vijay has also often surpassed Rs. 100 crores in collections on the first day. His films 'Leo', and 'The G.O.A.T' managed to achieve this feat. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, 'Leo' earned Rs. 145 crores on its first day. The recently released 'The Greatest Of All Time' collected Rs. 126.3 crores on its first day.







Jr NTR



With the success of the movie 'Devara', Tarak has positioned himself in the top 3 of this list. Two of his films managed to surpass the Rs. 100 crore mark on their first day. Directed by the legendary Rajamouli, the film 'RRR', starring Tarak and Ram Charan, secured Rs. 223 crores on its first day. Tarak’s recent film 'Devara' also collected Rs. 172 crores on its first day, solidifying his status as a Pan India star.







Shah Rukh Khan



Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan has achieved this milestone twice. His films 'Pathaan', and 'Jawan' exceeded Rs. 100 crores on the first day. Directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Deepika Padukone, 'Pathaan' amassed Rs. 106 crores on its first day. Following that, 'Jawan', directed by Tamil director Atlee, collected Rs. 129 crores worldwide on its debut day.







Yash



Kannada actor Yash entered the Rs. 100 crore club on the first day with the film 'KGF 2'. Before 'KGF', Yash was limited to the Kannada industry, but the success of this film brought him Pan India fame. 'KGF 2' attracted nationwide attention by earning Rs. 164 crores on its first day.







Ranbir Kapoor



Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor shook the box office with 'Animal', directed by the daring and dashing director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. This film marked the first time Ranbir entered the Rs. 100 crore club on the first day, collecting Rs. 116 crores upon its release on December 1 last year.







Ram Charan



Alongside Tarak in 'RRR', directed by Rajamouli, mega superstar Ram Charan also starred as a hero. This film made an impact by earning Rs. 223 crores on its first day. Directed by Shankar, his upcoming film 'Game Changer' is also expected to surpass Rs. 100 crores on its first day, as per the confidence expressed by Charan's fans. This film is set to be a Christmas gift for the audience.






The Rise of Pan India Cinema: Stars Breaking 100 Crore Opening Records on Day One


Directed by Vivek Athreya and starring Nani, the film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has recently made its way to the audience. This action thriller has become a significant hit and added to Nani's list of successful movies. Priyanka Mohan stars opposite Nani, with Sai Kumar, Abhirami, Aditi Balan, and others in pivotal roles. Recently released on OTT, this film continues to create a buzz and is achieving high viewership, making it trend nationally.



Nationwide Trending



The film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' featuring Nani began streaming on Netflix from September 26. Available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, the film has met everyone’s expectations and garnered a high number of views. As a result, it started trending as the top one nationally from the second day of its release. To celebrate, Netflix released a special poster, shared by hero Nani through his X account. Both theatres and OTT platforms receiving good reception has made Nani's fans express their joy.

Nani Surpasses Janhvi



'Ulajh' starring Janhvi Kapoor, released on Netflix the day after 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' came out, is also competing for the top spot. This spy thriller was introduced to audiences in August and made its OTT debut on September 27. Currently, it is capturing good viewership, making it in second place nationwide on Netflix. Directed by Sudhanshu Saria, Janhvi appears as IFS officer Suhana Bhatia, with Roshan Mathew in a leading role.







Collections Over 100 Crores



'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' was released in approximately 1000 screens on August 29, with a break-even target of 42 crores. It achieved massive openings everywhere, driven by positive reviews, especially overseas where Nani made a significant impact. By the time it ended its theatrical run, it had grossed over 100.39 crores, marking it as the second film in Nani's career to surpass 100 crores in collections, following last year's 'Dasara', which collected 121 crores.







Highlights of Nani’s Film



Recognized as a classic director through films like 'Mental Madhilo', 'Brochevarevarura', and 'Ante Sundaraniki', Vivek Athreya has introduced a new aspect of his hometown flavor in this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted the film with gripping action scenes that have been highly praised. Nani and S.J. Suryah's acting, the action sequences, and Jakes Bejoy's background music were major highlights. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-like scenes between the hero and the villain delighted the audience. However, the film’s length, lack of twists, missing commercial elements, and predictable story were seen as drawbacks.







Story of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram'



Surya (Nani), an LIC agent, cannot tolerate injustice happening before his eyes. He chooses Saturdays to display his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem are facing hardships. The police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah) oppresses them using his power. Amidst dramatic events, the hero decides to stand by the people of Sokulapalem. How does Surya confront the brutal police officer? What challenges does he face in the process? What makes Surya erupt specifically on Saturdays? What is the love track with the heroine Priyanka Mohan? And who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? That is the story.






Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Becomes a Nationwide OTT Sensation, Surpasses ₹100 Crores!


In Tollywood, reaching ₹100 crore in collections was once not a common feat. If a film crossed ₹100 crore during its lifetime, it was considered a significant achievement. However, the scenario has drastically changed in recent times. Director SS Rajamouli has elevated Tollywood to a global scale, making it common for our heroes to easily rake in ₹100 crores on the opening day alone. Recently, NTR also smashed records by grossing ₹172 crores on the first day alongside the godly figures. Several star heroes and directors from Tollywood have carved their own unique markets and can effortlessly claim these numbers with a solid hit. Let's take a look at these special figures.



Market Over ₹1000 Crores!



Director SS Rajamouli creates a global buzz with every film. His direction in 'Baahubali 2' (₹1810 crores) and 'RRR' (₹1300 crores) brought in over ₹1000 crores each. He is currently directing 'SSMB 29' with Mahesh Babu, which is expected to hit a global stride and is projected to gross around ₹2000 crores. On the other hand, pan-India star Prabhas has created a unique market for himself regardless of directors. His recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed over ₹1200 crores. With big projects like 'Kalki 2', 'Salaar 2', 'Spirit', and 'Raja Saab' in his pipeline, these films are poised to reach over ₹1000 crores.







Market Between ₹700-1000 Crores



Currently, Tollywood boasts five individuals who have a market capacity of from ₹700 Crores to  ₹1000 crores. Among the heroes, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun easily fit this bill. Allu Arjun is set to release 'Pushpa 2' on December 6, and with the national buzz it's generating, it could easily make between ₹700-1000 crores if it becomes a hit. Mahesh Babu is set to drastically raise his market with an upcoming film directed by Rajamouli. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is planning his next film with Prabhas, is expected to touch the ₹1000 crore mark, as per industry analysts. Prashanth Neel’s upcoming projects with NTR ('NTR31') and Prabhas ('Salaar 2') also place him in this high market bracket.







Market Between ₹500-700 Crores



In this market range, three Tollywood heroes stand out. NTR, Ram Charan, and Pawan Kalyan can easily achieve this with a proper hit. Notably, Tarak has already shown the potential to easily join the ₹500 crore club with his recent success with Devara. Ram Charan, collaborating with director Shankar on 'Game Changer', is expected to release around Christmas, and success here could similarly elevate him to the ₹500 crore club. Pawan Kalyan has yet to venture into pan-India films, but his upcoming projects 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' are set at this level. There's significant anticipation for 'OG' among fans.







Market Between ₹200-500 Crores



From Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are likely contenders for this category. At 69, Chiranjeevi's star power remains undiminished. His upcoming movie 'Vishwambhara' is highly anticipated and could easily make ₹200-500 crores if successful. Balakrishna’s last three films have each crossed ₹100 crores. His next, 'NBK109' directed by Bobby, features Bollywood actor Bobby Deol as the antagonist. A successful clash between them could easily surpass ₹200 crores. Meanwhile, script magician Trivikram, despite mixed reviews for his last film 'Gunturu Karam', managed ₹250 crores. His next film is rumored to be with Allu Arjun, which could potentially rake in ₹500 crores if successful. Director Koratala Siva has also increased his market value with the film 'Devara', projecting his future films to start above the ₹200 crore mark.






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


With 'Dasara,' actor Nani has entered the 100 crore club for the first time. Director Srikanth Odela, who made his debut with this film, has earned a unique recognition for himself. Having worked as an assistant to Sukumar on 'Rangasthalam,' Srikanth gained star director status with his very first film. He is now set to direct his second film with Nani as well. This movie has been titled 'The Paradise.' An exciting update about this film has surfaced: a legendary actor is rumored to be part of this movie, much to the delight of Nani's fans.



Mohan Babu as the Villain!



The upcoming film 'The Paradise,' directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Nani, is set against a Secunderabad backdrop. The villain's role is said to be crucial in this film. It is believed that a senior actor would do justice to this character. After considering several names, the buzz is strong that Manchu Mohan Babu has been finalized for this role. Director Srikanth Odela reportedly explained the villain role to Mohan Babu, who liked it very much and immediately gave the green light. There is much anticipation among cinema lovers to see the on-screen confrontation between Natural Star Nani and Dialogue King Mohan Babu.







Can He Match the Dialogue King?



Mohan Babu, known as the Dialogue King, is a distinctive actor in Tollywood. He has left an indelible mark as a hero, villain, comedian, character artist, and producer. In the early days of his career, Mohan Babu was predominantly seen in villain roles. He has the capability to deliver even the most challenging dialogues effortlessly. Matching up to Mohan Babu is no ordinary task for Nani. Previously, in the film 'Bujjigadu,' Mohan Babu played a role with negative shades, and it was rumored that Prabhas was overshadowed in some scenes. Now, the Nani-Mohan Babu combo in 'The Paradise' is also likely to captivate audiences similarly. This film is being touted as a significant test for Nani, marking the first time he will share the screen with a veteran actor.







Frustration Over Title Leak



The title for the upcoming movie 'The Paradise,' a collaboration between actor Nani and director Srikanth Odela, was leaked before the makers could officially announce it. This forced Srikanth Odela to announce the title, even though he initially intended to start shooting under a working title. Recently, the director expressed significant frustration over this leak. He indicated that he knows the individuals responsible for such acts, denying rumors that it was someone from his team. He advised against hastily blaming assistant directors or writers whenever a leak happens and urged for a change in the habit of casting blame on hardworking departments. He clarified that the leak did not come from his team, confirming he knows who was responsible.






Nani’s 'The Paradise' to Feature Dialogue King Mohan Babu as the Villain – A Blockbuster in the Making?


Previously, a movie's success was not just measured by its collections but also by how many days it ran in theaters. In the past, many hit films used to run for 50 days, 100 days, and some even celebrated 200 days functions. During the era of actors like Ramarao and Nageswararao, there were instances where movies were shown for a whole year. However, in the current OTT era, this situation has disappeared. Even films that collect hundreds of crores at the box office are moving to OTT within a month. Therefore, the talk of movies running for 50 days or 100 days is almost non-existent in the industry. However, Tarak's latest film 'Devara' has broken this silence. Let's see how.



Devara... The Half Century



Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Tarak, the Pan-India film 'Devara' was released worldwide on September 27 and has claimed success. The film grossed ₹500 crores at the box office. Recently, Devara achieved a milestone by being shown in 52 centers for 50 days (Devara 50 Days in 52 Centers). The makers released posters detailing this accomplishment, listing the theaters in the Ceded, Uttarandhra, Krishna, Nizam, East, West, Guntur, and Nellore areas that completed 50 days. It's special that 'Devara' managed a half-century in theaters even though it's available on OTT. Tarak's fans are proudly raising their collars seeing this.

Trending on OTT as Well



After creating a tsunami of collections at the box office, 'Devara' was recently brought to streaming by Netflix. From November 8, it has been available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and other South Indian languages. Shortly after its release, 'Devara' trended nationally on Netflix, and it continues to draw significant streaming minutes, a record for a Tarak film. Even a week into its OTT release, 'Devara' remains in the top 10, with many who have seen the movie rewatching it.







Soon on Sets 'NTR 31'



It's known that Tarak (Jr NTR) will be making a film with Kannada star director Prashanth Neel. The movie, tentatively titled NTR 31, is set to be a periodic action drama. The pre-production work is going on vigorously, promising a new level of characterization and performance from Tarak compared to his previous films. Plans are underway to start shooting as soon as pre-production is complete. Currently, Tarak is busy with the film 'War 2', a Bollywood movie starring Hrithik Roshan, in which Tarak will play a role with negative shades.







Tarak's Movie with Rajini's Director?



There's a strong buzz that Tarak will be making a movie with Tamil star director Nelson Dileep Kumar. Discussions related to the story have already taken place, and Tarak has reportedly responded positively to the script. An official announcement about this project is expected soon. Nelson Dileep Kumar recently directed 'Jailer', securing a solid hit with Rajinikanth in a powerful role. Currently busy with 'Jailer 2', Nelson may commence the Tarak project after that.
