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

Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth.
‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT!
Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace.
Confirmed by OTT Circles!
It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price.
Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'!
In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film.
Will a Game Changer Save the Day?
The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.

Purushothamudu Review: Raj Tarun's Journey from Billionaire to Common Man"
Cast: Raj Tarun, Hasini, Ramya Krishnan, Prakash Raj, and others.
Written and Directed by: Ram Bhimana
Music: Gopi Sundar
Cinematography: PG Vinda
Editing: Marthand K. Venkatesh
Producers: Dr. Ramesh Tejavath, Prakash Tejavath
Amidst personal and professional struggles, young hero Raj Tarun's latest film 'Purushothamudu' has arrived in theaters. Directed by Ram Bhimana and starring actress Hasini as the female lead, this film tests Raj Tarun's ability to rebound. Let’s see if it has succeeded in giving him a hit in this review.
What's the story?
Rachit Ram (Raj Tarun) was born a billionaire, the sole heir of Aditya Ram (Murali Sharma), who heads PR Groups. After completing his education abroad, Aditya decides to entrust his son with the CEO responsibilities. However, Rachit's aunt Vasundhara (Ramya Krishnan) objects to this. According to company rules, a candidate for CEO must live incognito as a common man for 100 days. Rachit agrees to this and steps outside his comfort zone. He travels to a remote village in Andhra Pradesh named Rayapulanka. What twists did Rachit’s life take there? What adventures did he undertake to save the village farmers? And what is his love story with Ammu? That forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Raj Tarun delivers a commendable performance in dual dimensions as Rachit Ram, convincingly playing both a billionaire and an unidentifiable common man. Hasini Sudheer, as the village girl Ammu, shines beautifully on screen, and the love scenes between Raj Tarun and Ammu are pleasing. Praveen provides comic relief in the friend’s role, while other comedians like Satya and Brahmanandam shine throughout the film.
Direction
We've seen many films where a wealthy young man lives as a common man for various reasons. Director Ram Bhimana has crafted 'Purushothamudu' in a similar vein. The real story begins when the wealthy hero reaches the village of Rayapulanka. The introductions and romantic scenes with the heroine are engaging. The first half is entertaining with village backdrop comedy, and the hero's stance against injustices in the village makes for an appealing interval bang. However, the narrative seems to lose track in the second half, meandering predictably and boringly without any significant twists. The climax, although predictable, is somewhat saved by Prakash Raj's entry and his impactful dialogues. Director Ram Bhimana fails to bring any novelty to the story or narration.
Technically
Musically, Gopi Sundar’s contributions are just passable, with none of the songs being particularly memorable. The background score is decent. PG Vinda’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of village life beautifully. The editing is adequate, and the production values are suitably high for the film.
Plus Points
- Raj Tarun’s acting
- Some scenes in the first half
- Chemistry between the hero and heroine
Minus Points
- Routine story
- Predictable narrative
- Lack of twists

Demonte Colony 2 Movie Review: A Thrilling Sequel with Twists and Turns
Cast: Arulnithi, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Arun Pandian, Muthukumar, Meenakshi Govindarajan, Sarjano Khalid, Archana Chandhok, and others
Directed by: R. Ajay Gnanamuthu
Music by: Shyam C.S.
Produced by: Bobby Balachandran
Release Date: August 23, 2024
Starring Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar, this Tamil film 'Demonte Colony 2' directed by Ajay R. Gnanamuthu has garnered positive buzz since its Tamil release on the 15th of this month. Now released in Telugu on August 23, did this film managed to captivate the Telugu audience as well? Did it achieve success similar to the original Demonte Colony? Let's find out in this review.
Plot
Samuel Richard (Sarjano Khalid) unexpectedly commits suicide after overcoming a disease like cancer. His wife, Debbie (Priya Bhavani Shankar), struggles to come to terms with his decision and attempts to communicate with his spirit to uncover the reason behind his actions. She discovers from a book in a library that his death was predetermined by that book. Debbie learns that many others who read this book also died similarly. Recently, Srinivas (Arulnithi) and his twin brother Raghunandan (Arulnithi) have also read the book, putting their lives in danger. What is this book? What is the evil power behind it? How did Debbie, along with her uncle Richard (Arun Pandian), attempt to save the twin brothers? What role did Buddhist monks play in their efforts? That's the story.
Performance
Arulnithi excels in a dual role, showcasing distinct variations between the two characters in appearance and performance. Priya Bhavani Shankar, in the main female lead, impressed significantly, especially with a change in her hairstyle giving her a fresh look. This role, unlike her previous glamor roles, provided her with a substantial acting opportunity. Arun Pandian, playing the role of Debbie's uncle, did a satisfactory job. Archana Ravichandran, though in a brief appearance, managed to entertain. Muthukumar, Sarjano Khalid, and others performed well, particularly those portraying Buddhist monks who were captivating.
Direction
R. Ajay Gnanamuthu has crafted part 2 as a continuation of the original 'Demonte Colony' story. The film keeps the audience engaged with twists every half-hour from the start. The director skillfully intertwined two stories by introducing a family not present in the first part. The film not only deals with horror but also includes disputes among brothers and step-sisters, adding a bit of entertainment. Debbie’s efforts to save the twin brothers and the ensuing horror elements are thrilling. The screenplay is quite engaging. The climax along with the scenes linking to a potential third part are surprising. However, weak graphics, some dragging scenes, and the pre-climax could be seen as negatives.
Technically
On the technical front, the cinematographer did an excellent job by not just sticking to the typical dark mode of regular horror films but presenting it in a colorful manner. The graphics department could have done better. The background music was good, enhancing the suspense in the scenes. Editing was decent. The production values are high.
Plus Points
- Story and screenplay
- Acting by Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar
- Horror elements and twists
Minus Points
- Poor graphics
- Some boring scenes

'Viswam' Movie Review: Can Gopichand and Srinu Vaitla Break Their Dry Spell?
Cast: Gopichand, Kavya Thapar, Naresh, Mukesh Rishi, Jisshu Sengupta, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, Sham, Pragathi, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, Prithvi, and others.
Director: Srinu Vaitla
Music: Chetan Bharadwaj
Cinematography: K. V. Guhan
Editing: Amar Reddy
Producers: Venu Donepudi, T.G. Vishwa Prasad
Release Date: October 11, 2024
The latest film 'Viswam' directed by Srinu Vaitla and starring popular actor Gopichand, jointly produced by T.G. Vishwa Prasad and Venu Donepudi, with Kavya Thapar as the heroine, is a test to regain success after both have experienced a drought in hits. Released on October 11, did 'Viswam' bring them the success they were hoping for? Let's find out in this complete review.
Plot
In Hyderabad, a federal minister (Suman) is murdered. Assassins chase a child who witnessed the murder, intending to kill her. However, Gopireddy (Gopichand), who is acquainted with the child’s family, saves her multiple times from danger. There is a reason behind Gopireddy's acquaintance with the family. What is that reason? Why did Gopireddy distance himself from Samaira (Kavya Thapar) whom he met in Italy? Who really is Gopireddy? Why is he trying to save the child? What is Gopireddy's background? To find out, one must go to the theaters.
Performance
Actor Gopichand captivates with his settled acting and impresses in action sequences, proving his comedy timing once again with 'Viswam'. However, his role does not offer much variety compared to his previous films; it feels quite routine. Heroine Kavya Thapar doesn’t have much scope in acting but scores well on the glamour front. Naresh, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, and Rahul Ramakrishna bring laughter in the film, especially in the train episode. Other characters have performed well within their roles.
Direction
Having directed blockbusters like 'Anandam', 'Sontham', 'Venky', 'Dhee', 'Ready', and 'Dookudu', Srinu Vaitla had lost his track recently. Recognizing his strengths and weaknesses, he brought 'Viswam', a mix of action and comedy, back to the audience. However, choosing an outdated story for this film could be seen as a drawback. Punches and the comedy track are the strengths of the film, particularly the sequences involving Vennela Kishore and Prithvi that are sure to leave the audience in splits. The Italy track and the villain’s character feel weak. The hero-heroine love track also feels repetitive. However, the interval scene and the climax manage to engage.
Technically
On the technical front, Chetan Bharadwaj’s music is decent with two or three good songs, and the background score elevates the scenes well. K.V. Guhan’s cinematography is also commendable. Editing by Amar Reddy could have been sharper. The production values are high, giving each scene a rich look.
Plus Points
- Gopichand’s acting
- Comedy
- Background music
Minus Points
- Outdated story
- Dragged scenes

Aham Reboot OTT Review: Sumanth's Solo Act—Did the Experiment Work?
Cast: Sumanth
Writer and Director: Prashanth Sagar Atluri
Music: Sriram Madduri
Cinematography: Varun Ankarla
Editing: Murali Krishna Manyam
Visual Effects: Shashwat Kaurav
Producers: Raghuveer, Srujan
OTT Platform: Aha
The film 'Aham Reboot,' directed by Prashanth Sagar Atluri and starring Sumanth , was initially completed some time ago and was intended for a theatrical release. However, due to certain reasons, it was quietly released on the OTT platform Aha on June 30. This psychological thriller has made its way to streaming. Did it manage to impress OTT viewers? Did it provide another success for Sumanth? Let’s find out in this review.
What’s the Story?
Nilay (Sumanth), who dreamt of being a football player, turns into a radio jockey following an accident. One day while in the studio, he receives a call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. Initially dismissing it as a prank, Nilay is eventually convinced by her words and decides to go live. The police, listening to the radio, start believing that the girl has indeed been kidnapped and begin efforts to save her. They assign the task of gathering information about the kidnapped girl to Nilay, who is in the studio. Who is this girl? Was she really kidnapped? How do the police save her? Who is the girl Nilay lost in an accident? Is there any connection between her and the kidnapped girl? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.
How Did They Perform?
In the movie 'Aham Reboot,' Sumanth is a one-man show. He is the only character visible throughout the movie; all other characters are just heard. Sumanth captivates with his performance, embodying a modern young man carrying an unspoken sorrow and striving to save a girl's life as a radio jockey. He effectively conveys emotions and carries the story on his shoulders. Visually, Sumanth presents a new look in this movie.
How’s the Direction?
Directing a movie with just one character is akin to walking a tightrope, especially when the entire story unfolds in a single location. In this challenging endeavor, director Prashanth Sagar Atluri has managed to achieve a notable level of success. The narrative begins with a phone call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. The director skillfully guides the plot from gathering her details to forwarding them to the police, who then initiate a rescue operation. This approach keeps the narrative tight and engaging. A twist at the end that links Nilay's life to the kidnapped girl adds an intriguing element. However, the film's reliance on only Sumanth's character and dialogue to drive the story might seem monotonous to some viewers. For those with the patience, 'Aham Reboot' offers a compelling thriller experience.
Technically...
On the technical front, the background music is a significant plus for the movie. Sriram Madduri’s BGM elevates the thrilling scenes further. With just one character, the editing needed to be crisp, which worked out well. The production values are commendable.
Plus Points
- Sumanth’s acting
- Innovative storytelling
- Background music
Minus Point
- The entire movie revolves around just one visible character

Kanguva Movie Review: Suriya's Epic Tale of Reincarnation, Revenge, and Ancient Battles – A Visual Spectacle
Cast: Suriya, Disha Patani, Bobby Deol, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Prakash Raj, K.S. Ravikumar, Harish Uthaman, Kovai Sarala, Anandaraj, among others.
Director: Shiva
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Cinematography: Vetri Palaniswamy
Editing: Nishaad Yusuf
Producers: K.E. Gnanavel, Vamshi Pramod
Release Date: 14-11-2024
The Tamil actor Suriya stars in the most anticipated film 'Kanguva,' directed by Shiva. This film, also featuring Bollywood actress Disha Patani and Bobby Deol, is produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja and Vamshi Pramod with a massive budget of ₹350 crores. Released across India on November 14th, the film aims for box office collections of ₹1000 crores. Let's find out how the film fares and whether it has lived up to the audience's expectations and added another success to Suriya’s account.
Plot
Francis (Suriya) works as a bounty hunter in Goa, with his girlfriend Disha Patani and friend Yogi Babu assisting him. One day, a child approaches Francis feeling a mysterious connection to him, which he senses might be from a past life. What is this ancient connection with the child that dates back a thousand years? Who really is Kanguva? What battles did he fight as a fierce leader? What threats did his tribe face from the villain (Bobby Deol)? How did Kanguva save his tribe from the villain? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie.
Performance Analysis
Tamil superstar Suriya has delivered a stellar performance in this film, impressing in both the roles of Francis and Kanguva. The effort he has put into the role of Kanguva is evident on screen, especially during the battle scenes, showcasing his formidable presence. His body language, dialogue delivery, and expression of emotions are all on point. Bobby Deol as the villain has delivered a powerful performance, matching Suriya's intensity. Disha Patani brings glamour to the film, and her chemistry with Francis’s character works well. Comedian Yogi Babu provides comic relief. Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, K.S. Ravikumar, and Harish Uthaman have significant roles and contribute well within their capacities.
Direction
Director Shiva has crafted 'Kanguva' with a novel storyline. The film starts slowly as it introduces Francis's character and takes time to develop. A small girl enters Francis's life, linking back to a past life, which interestingly steers the plot. From Kanguva’s entry, the true narrative begins. The director has engagingly depicted tribal life and conflicts from a thousand years ago. The twist at the interval raises expectations for the second half, which is filled with twists and action sequences that make the story even more gripping. The climax is sure to give everyone goosebumps. However, the slow-paced narrative and underdeveloped emotions, along with a somewhat weak villain character, might be seen as drawbacks.
Technically...
On the technical front, all departments have performed well, especially the VFX team, which has provided excellent output for the film. The cinematography is impressive. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is a major asset to the film, with both songs and background score enhancing the cinematic experience. The production values are high, and every scene is richly crafted.

Jigra Movie Review: Alia Bhatt’s Action-Packed Fight to Save Her Brother
Cast: Alia Bhatt, Rahul Ravindran, Vedang Raina, Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Yuvraj Vijayan, Jasan Shah, Dheer Hira, Aditya Nanda, among others.
Director: Vasan Bala
Music: Achint Thakkar
Cinematography: Swapnil S. Sonawane
Editing: Prerna Saigal
Producers: Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, Apoorva Mehta
Release Date: October 11, 2024
Bollywood beauty Alia Bhatt, after gaining recognition in Telugu cinema with 'RRR' and participating in Hindi 'Devara' promotions, has captured the hearts of Telugu audiences. Now, she takes the lead in the latest action thriller 'Jigra', directed by Vasan Bala. Telugu actor Rahul Ravindran plays a significant role. Released on October 11, this film has made its way to theaters nationwide under the banner of Asian Suresh Entertainment, released by hero Rana Daggubati. Let’s find out how the film fares and if it has won over the Telugu audience.
Plot:
Satyabhama (Alia Bhatt) works as hotel management staff in a wealthy household. Having lost her parents at a young age, she raises her younger brother Ankur Anand (Vedang Raina) herself. Ankur, who has a solid business idea, travels to Hanshi Dao near Malaysia to meet with investors. At a party, he gets caught by the police for using drugs and, under the local laws, is sentenced to death. This pushes Satyabhama to exhaust all possible means to save her brother, but to no avail. Ultimately, she decides that breaking him out of jail is the only option left. Does Satyabhama succeed in her efforts? What roles do Muthu (Rahul Ravindran) and Bhatia (Manoj Pahwa) play in helping her? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.
Performances:
Alia Bhatt delivers a stunning performance as Satyabhama. Her acting in emotional scenes is captivating, and she is incredibly convincing as the sister fighting to save her brother, excelling even in action sequences. Vedang Raina, as her brother, also puts forth a commendable performance. Telugu actor Rahul Ravindran, as Muthu, has landed a pivotal role that significantly impacts the story. Other actors too have justified their roles within the scope of their characters.
Direction:
Director Vasan Bala has crafted this film in the jailbreak genre. Right from the beginning, he successfully establishes the strong bond between the siblings. The audience can truly feel the strong relationship between them. However, the plot tends to drag until Ankur's arrest, after which the pace of the story picks up. The struggles Ankur faces in jail and Satyabhama's efforts to free him are engaging. With her decisive action to break him out, the story takes a thrilling turn, which the director has skillfully depicted. The climax action episode stands out as a highlight of the film. However, the predictable storyline and lack of innovative twists can be seen as drawbacks.
Technically:
Technically, the cinematography is impressive, effectively presenting the prison environment, especially in the climax, which offers some visually stunning shots. The music is satisfactory, with the background score fitting well with the film's tone. Tighter editing could have benefitted the movie. The production values are high.
Plus Points:
- Alia Bhatt’s performance
- Sibling sentiment
- Action sequences
- Cinematography
Minus Points:
- Prolonged scenes
- Predictable narrative

TFAPA's Ban on Reviewers Inside Theaters: A Bold Move to Save Cinema from Negative Hype!
In the past, audiences used to watch movies firsthand to form an opinion. Gradually, word-of-mouth took precedence in shaping movie-going decisions. However, the scenario has drastically changed today with film media and YouTube channels shifting their focus on new releases, bringing review culture to the forefront. Immediately after a movie's release, several YouTube channels rush to theaters to gather audience reactions and post them on their channels. Consequently, movie lovers form opinions without actually seeing the film, largely influenced by negative reviews on these channels.
Producers' Response: No Entry to Theaters for Reviewers
Observing the significant impact of YouTube and netizen reviews on movie outcomes, the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) has decided to take a pivotal step to regulate these reviews. They have issued a directive to cinema hall owners not to allow media inside theaters, highlighting how negative reviews have severely impacted films like 'Indian 2', 'Kanguva', and 'Vettaiyan'. The growing issue in the film industry needs a united front from all associations to counteract this challenge, as stated by TFAPA. They specifically requested that theaters should not facilitate public reviews during the first show on release day.

Addressing Personal Attacks
Recently, some YouTube channels have targeted actors under the guise of reviews, critiquing their performance inappropriately, leading to personal attacks. TFAPA has responded to these instances, condemning the personal criticisms aimed at actors, directors, and producers. They have warned that such behavior will not be tolerated and have urged these channels to change their approach to reviews.
Is There a Need for Similar Action in Tollywood?
The issues highlighted by the Tamil producers are also prevalent in Tollywood, with many YouTube channels based in Hyderabad flocking to theaters like Prasad's IMAX during star movie releases. These channels often highlight sensational comments for fame, overshadowing genuine audience reviews. The presence of fans and anti-fans at first shows amplifies negative opinions, persuading the general audience to avoid theaters and wait for OTT releases instead. Film analysts suggest that Tollywood bigwigs might consider similar measures as their Tamil counterparts.
https://twitter.com/pakkatelugunewz/status/1859143090378076253
Will the Measures Be Effective?
While the TFAPA's decision to restrict YouTube channels from theaters is commendable, its practical effectiveness remains questionable. Controlling YouTube channels is challenging; even national leaders face trolling. Even if access inside theaters is denied, reviewers can still gather public opinions outside, where those eager for visibility will likely speak up. The effectiveness of TFAPA's recommendations remains to be seen.

Prasanth Varma's 'Jai Hanuman' Sequel: Expectations Soar as VFX and Bollywood Stars Join the Cinematic Universe
Young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma's collaboration in 'Hanuman' has shaken up the entire country. Released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, the film has become a blockbuster hit at the pan-India level. The success of this film has turned all eyes towards Prasanth Varma's upcoming projects, and the director has previously announced that a sequel to 'Hanuman' is also on the cards. Currently, he is busy preparing the script for the sequel. In a recent interview with an English media outlet, Prasanth Varma shared interesting details about the release of 'Jai Hanuman' and about their cinematic universe, which has become a hot topic in the industry.
'Responsibility has increased'
Director Prasanth Varma expressed that the pan-India success of 'Hanuman' has increased the responsibility on him. "If 'Hanuman' had only collected Rs. 100 crores, we would have released the sequel by now," he mentioned. But the film exceeded their expectations in collections, which means there's more responsibility to work on 'Jai Hanuman'. Varma assured that they are working hard on the script for 'Jai Hanuman', aiming to meet and surpass everyone's expectations. He promised to deliver exactly what the audience expects to see on screen.
'VFX work ahead'
The VFX work of 'Hanuman' was a major highlight, receiving more praise than the hundreds of crores spent on 'Adipurush' for its graphics. Responding to this, Prasanth Varma mentioned that for 'Hanuman', they started the VFX work after shooting, but for the sequel 'Jai Hanuman', they are preparing the VFX ahead of time. This approach will save time during post-production. Shooting for 'Jai Hanuman' has not yet started.
Bollywood stars are confirmed!
Prasanth Varma made intriguing remarks about his cinematic universe, revealing that he has been in talks with some Bollywood stars for his films. He confirmed that these stars would definitely be part of his projects but mentioned that it might take some time. He also clarified that it would take some time before 'Jai Hanuman' goes on floors, as 'Adheera' is set to release first, followed by two more films he is currently working on. Other directors are also working on these projects, including one with Mokshagna. Varma aims to release at least one or two films every year.
Movie with Mokshagna to start
It's known that a film is forthcoming in the combination of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja and director Prasanth Varma. Recently, on the occasion of Mokshagna's birthday, the first look poster of the movie was released. Prasanth Varma expressed great pleasure in introducing Mokshagna to the industry. In the poster, Mokshagna appeared in a handsome look with a smiling face and a fully fit physique, making him look every bit the hero material. The look went viral on social media, with Nandamuri fans and cinema lovers wishing Mokshagna all the best.
https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1831921862609154407
Linkup with 'Jai Hanuman'!
The film with Mokshagna Teja, directed by Prasanth Varma, is tentatively titled 'PVCU 2'. Varma had previously stated that every film in his cinematic universe would link with his next film. In this context, 'PVCU 2' will pave the way for the release of 'Jai Hanuman'. This ensures that Mokshagna's film will definitely have a connection with 'Jai Hanuman', arousing curiosity among Nandamuri fans about how this linkup will unfold. Fans are eagerly anticipating what plan Prasanth Varma has concocted as they comment on their excitement.

Viewers commented that the film reflects very natural and real-life scenarios from the past. In this context, a viewer’s comment comparing "Devara" to "Pottel" has gone viral on the internet.
'Much better than Devara'
The film "Devara," directed by Koratala Shiva starring Jr. NTR, was recently released and created a tsunami of collections, grossing over Rs. 400 crores at the box office. Top-notch music director Anirudh worked on this film. A viewer’s comment comparing "Pottel" to "Devara" has been trending online. A YouTuber who went to the theater showing "Pottel" tried to gather audience opinions. In the process, he stopped the audience coming out of the theater and asked how the movie was. The viewer expressed in the video that he liked "Pottel" much better than "Devara." Are smaller films better than big films? The YouTuber asked, to which he reiterated the viewer’s opinion that "Pottel" is better than "Devara." This video is currently going viral.

Content is king
Regardless of whether it’s a big or small film, Telugu audiences appreciate good content, which is exactly what is happening with "Pottel." This low-budget film with a solid story is captivating the audience. Recent films like "Aay," "Committee Kurrollu," and "Mathu Vadalara 2" also achieved success in the same way, despite not having big stars or big budgets. However, the Telugu audience embraced even "Devara." Yet, it is intriguing that the viewer expressed a preference for "Pottel" over "Devara."
What is "Pottel" about?
Director Saahith Mothkuri has depicted the rural backdrop of the 1980s in "Pottel," transporting the audience back in time right from the beginning. In the first 20 minutes, he immerses the audience in village life, showing how the lower and vulnerable classes were oppressed and subjected to severe hardship. The film’s approach to caste, religion, and egotistical distinctions between big and small has become a major attraction. The introduction of characters, the love story between the hero and heroine, and other scenes beautifully set up the first half. The second part seems a bit faltering where the director over-emphasized the villain harming the main characters to evoke emotions, leading to scenes that stray from logic. However, the director succeeded in connecting the audience with the underlying message of the story.
Plot
The story unfolds in Gurramgadda village, located at the borders of Maharashtra and Telangana. The villagers conduct a festival for the village deity Balamma once in every cycle and offer sacrifices. It is believed that during this time, the deity possesses Patel (Ajay), the village head, who then prevents the villagers from progressing, particularly in education. On the other side, Pedda Gangadhari (Yuva Chandra) serves as the keeper of the sacrificial animals and secretly educates his daughter. When Patel finds out, he makes the sacrificial animal disappear. He threatens to sacrifice Gangadhari’s daughter if the animal isn’t found by the festival. What does Gangadhari do to save his daughter? Is he able to bring back the animal? What role does Bujjamma (Ananya Nagalla) play in this story?
