Producer Dil Raju With Tamil Films To Take On Mythri Movie Makers In Telugu

Hyderabad, December 29 - The Sankranthi 2023 race at the Tamil and Telugu box office is heating up with some of the biggest South Indian superstars coming to take on each other. It will be Thalapathy Vijay's Varisu (12 Jan.) and Ajith Kumar's Thunivu (11 Jan.) at the Tamil box office while megastar Chiranjeevi's Waltair Veerayya (13 Jan.) and Nandamuri Balakrishna's Veera Simha Reddy (12 Jan.) in Telugu. ## The Telugu box office seems to be more complicated this festival season as the aforementioned Telugu films will be facing tough competition with the above-mentioned Tamil blockbuster. Mythri Movie Makers, one of the biggest production houses in Telugu, has produced "Waltair Veerayya" and "Veera Simha Reddy". ## Producer Dil Raju, the powerhouse in the Telugu industry, has produced Thalapathy Vijay's "Varisu" which will also be released in the Telugu language as "Varasudu". This move has already shaken up the Telugu film fraternity as Dil Raju has a huge command over theaters and it is said that he has booked the maximum number of screens for "Varisu" and now, he has thrown another big card to make the box office race intense further. ## It has been confirmed that Dil Raju has acquired the Telugu distribution rights of Ajith Kumar's "Thunivu" which might be worrisome news for Mythri producers who are already facing trouble for not getting enough theaters for their two straight Telugu films. The discussions regarding theater bookings are currently on and the producers might come to a suitable solution but at the moment, it is Mythri that is looking under the pump. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli Reiterates His Dream Project

Hyderabad, December 29 - SS Rajamouli has taken up a task to make grandeur films that appeal beyond boundaries. The maverick filmmaker's recent films - "Baahubali" films and "RRR" made a huge impact on audiences across the world and made Rajamouli arguably the biggest director in India. ## The blockbuster director has time and again spoken about his dream project which is epic Mahabharta. Speaking about the same, Rajamouli had said in one of the interviews earlier this year that he needs to learn more craft to helm this epic, and he has once reiterated that same.## During a recent interview with Deadline, Rajamouli was asked about his dream project. The filmmaker said that he wanted to direct big-scale war films for a long time and with "Baahubali", he achieved that goal, and now, "Mahabharata" is something that he would love to direct someday. ## "For a long time I wanted to do a big-scale war film, but that I have done with Baahubali, so my goal, or my dream, has been fulfilled. So, the biggest one for me would be to direct Mahabharata, the Indian epic. That would probably be a 10-year project. That would be my biggest dream. Hopefully, one day I'll do that", Rajamouli said. ## Mahabharta is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India in Hinduism, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa. It narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pāṇḍava princes and their successors. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli Reveals What Inspires Him To Have 'RRR' Sequel

Hyderabad, December 29 - It has been nearly 9 months since RRR arrived in theaters but the craze for this SS Rajamouli's epic hasn't faded yet. "RRR" has been one of those rare Indian gems that have made the world dance to its tune and it has continuously been doing that month after month. ## Starring Telegu superstars Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr. (N.T.R.) in the leading role, "RRR" has been immensely successful in the west and made Rajamouli a filmmaker to watch out for there. This unbelievable success of the movie has led to the discussion of its sequel. ## Rajamouli revealed that he initially had dropped the idea of making the RRR's sequel, but when he witnessed the massive response in the West and seriously gave thought to make "RRR". The blockbuster filmmaker recently revealed that he asked his writer-father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, to develop the story on it.## "Whenever a film succeeds, as writers, me, my father, my cousin, we sit and we discuss whether it can be taken forward. We usually have some good ideas because we're high on the success of the film. The same thing happened with RRR. There were some good ideas, but not compelling ones".## "Then, after coming to the U.S. and seeing the reaction, I was talking about my experiences to my father, and suddenly my cousin came up with an idea. I thought, "Wow, this is a great idea — this has to be developed into a script!" So, I asked my father to write a script based on that fantastic idea, and now he's in the process of developing it. Once it becomes a full script, we'll look into how to take it forward", Rajamouli told Deadline. ## Rajamouli will next be directing another Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and for which, the shoot is expected to commence later next year. The script is currently under development and as promised by Rajamouli himself, it will be a globe-trotting film. ## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, December 27 - It hasn't been a great year for megastar Chiranjeevi with his two released films underperforming at the box office.

Ravi Teja Finally Delivers At The Box Office

Hyderabad, December 26 - It has been tough 22 months for Tollywood star Ravi Teja but the table finally turned in his favor, thanks to the action comedy film Dhamaka which is currently playing in theaters. ## Ravi Teja was the first Tollywood hero who delivered a box-office hit when cinemas re-opened in 2021. The actor's action thriller Krack, which was released in January 2021, grossed approx. 60 crores worldwide and was declared a blockbuster. ## After "Krack", Ravi Teja had to wait for his next release due to the severe covid-19 outbreak, and when his next film "Khiladi" was released in February 2022, things weren't the same this time, and the movie was bombed at the box office. He had hoped to turn the tide with "Ramarao On Duty", released in July, but it turned out to be an even bigger disaster, leaving the makers shocked. ## It was always about one good film for the actor to back in the game and it finally came in the form of "Dhamaka". The Trinadha Rao Nakkina-directed film was released during the Christmas weekend on December 23 and opened to favorable reviews and box office numbers. ## "Dhamaka" had a very good opening weekend and did really well on Monday to put approx. 33 crores gross worldwide in 4 days. It is certain that "Dhamaka" will achieve the break-even target within the first week and will turn a profit for the distributors. It is all about how far it will go at the box office which will decide its final verdict. ## Since there is no notable big Telugu release this year anymore, "Dhamaka" might be the last hit of the year for the Tollywood film industry, unless the remaining films surprise. Mass Maharaja is ending 2022 with a bang and 2023 is looking super promising for him.## Ravi Teja will next be seen playing a key role in Chiranjeevi-fronted "Waltair Veerayya", releasing on January 13. He will then headline the action thriller "Ravanasura" (7 April), which is one of the most anticipated Telugu films along with his "Tiger Nageswara Rao". The actor also has Karthik Gattamneni's untitled film in production.## Stay tuned...
