Release Date Update On Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule'

Hyderabad, May 12 - The summer of 2023 will get heated up with blockbuster titles making their way to the big screen. Among the films that are expected to set the box office on fire, Allu Arjun's Pan-India sensation, "Pushpa - The Rule" is expected to be the highlight of Summer 2023. ## Directed by Sukumar, the first part of the movie, "Pushpa - The Rise" created mayhem at the Pan-Indian box office and emerged as a massive hit with a worldwide gross collection of 360+ crores. The movie has set the bar high for a mass entertainer. Allu Arjun's mass dialogues and his steps have gone viral on social media and reached international audiences. ## The expectation from "Pushpa 2" are sky high and while the film is expected to go on the floors in June this year, the makers are contemplating making it the big summer blockbuster and eyeing May 2023 release. It might get pushed to the second half of the next year if the shoot is not over on time.

Telugu Movie 'F3' Producers Will Not Apply For Ticket Price Hike In AP-TG

Hyderabad, May 12 - For the last few months, the big-budget Telugu movies have been released with ticket price hikes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While this strategy has benefitted films like "RRR" and "KGF Chapter", the same wasn't the case with "Radhe Shyam", and "Acharya". ## The producers of the upcoming Telugu comedy movie, "F3: Fun and Frustration", seem to have learned from the previous movies and have reportedly decided against the ticket price hikes. According to Telangana Today, the "F3" producers have decided to use standard ticket prices.## While the official confirmation is yet to be made, "F3" will be the first big-budget Telugu movie to be released with regular ticket prices ever since the governments allowed prices to hike for movie tickets.## The growing ticket prices have been a topic of discussion within the Indian film fraternity since the last year. The covid-19 pandemic has made the audiences hesitant towards visiting theaters to watch the movies and on top of that, the price hike is also not helping either. The impact of huge ticket rates could be seen in the recent movies that bombed at the box office despite positive reviews from critics. ## Moving back to "F3", if the makers decide to go with old ticket prices, it will surely benefit the makers to generate more footfalls, and if it gets good reactions, then the film could become a family blockbuster just like its preceder. ## Directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations, "F3" movie stars Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannaah, and Mehreen Pirzada reprising their roles from the previous film alongside Sunil and Sonal Chauhan as new additions. It will be released on May 27th worldwide. ## Stay tuned...

Making A Film With SS Rajamouli Is Equal To Making 25 Films: Mahesh Babu

Hyderabad, May 10 - Superstar Mahesh Babu is thrilled to join forces with maverick director SS Rajamouli for his next after Trivikram's movie. It will be the first time when Babu will headline a film for Rajamouli, who is fresh from one of the biggest Indian blockbusters, "RRR". ## SS Rajamouli, who is known for bringing perfection to his movies, often ends up taking longer than expected time in filming. Mahesh Babu, however, is very well aware of what Rajamouli's film will take from him but also knows the fruitful outcome of that. ## "Making a film with SS Rajamouli is the equivalent of making 25 films. Even if it takes a bit longer, my fans will definitely feel happy", Babu said when reminded by a journalist about Rajamouli taking 2-3 years in film. ## Rajamouli's film with Mahesh Babu will be a Jungle adventure movie from the script being written by Rajamouli's father and screenwriter KV Vijayendra Prasad. It will go on floors in the first half of 2023 and might release in late 2024. Alia Bhatt is said to be the leading lady opposite MB in the movie. ## Meanwhile, the "Maharshi" actor is awaiting the release of "Sarkaru Vaari Paata", which is slated for May 12th release. Directed by Parasuram, SVP marks Mahesh Babu's return to the big screen after more than two years. It has Keerthy Suresh playing the female lead. ## Stay tuned...

Mahesh Babu's Shocking Remark On Getting Bollywood Films Offer

Hyderabad, May 10 - Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu will be in the action after more than two years with the upcoming action entertainer, "Sarkaru Vaari Paata", stated for 12th May release. The actor turned producer also awaiting the release of his production venture "Major" starring Adivi Sesh. ## While SVP is an outright Telugu movie, "Major" has been shot in Hindi and Telugu and it will also be released in Malayalam. For the last few years, Pan-India cinema is becoming a norm, however, Mahesh Babu is still not thinking to take his movies to Pan-India, instead, his aim has always been to make movies from the South a countrywide success.## "I always wanted to do Telugu films and wished people across India would watch it. And now when that is happening I'm very happy. I always had this strong opinion that my strength is Telugu films and the emotion I understand is the Telugu film emotion. Today the emotion is so strong, films have become so big that the lines have blurred and it's become Indian cinema", Mahesh Babu said during the trailer launch event of "Major" in Hyderabad yesterday (via DNA). ## While it is a fact that many South Indian actors are eager to make their Bollywood debut, Mahesh Babu seems to be in a different mood as he shockingly said that Bollywood can't afford him despite him getting big offers from Hindi filmmakers. ## "I may sound arrogant, I did get a lot of offers in Hindi. But I think they can't afford me. I don't want to waste my time. The stardom and love I have here in Telugu cinema, I never thought of going to another industry. I always thought I will do films here and they will become bigger, and my belief is turning into a reality now. I can't be happier", he added. ## Meanwhile, after SVP, Mahesh Babu will next begin shooting for director Trivikram Srinivas' movie. After that, he will join hands with blockbuster director SS Rajamouli for his next much-awaited movie. It will be a Pan-India movie that will also release in Hindi. ## Stay tuned...
