Pawan Kalyan's 'Bheemla Nayak' Officially Postponed To Clear Roads For 'RRR' And 'Radhe Shyam'

Hyderabad, December 21 - As reported earlier, power star Pawan Kalyan's "Bheemla Nayak" has officially been postponed and is out from Sankranthi 2022 race. The new release date is yet to be announced but it will most certainly be released on February 25, 2022. ## Earlier, the makers of "Bheemla Nayak" were promoting the film as Sankranthi 2022 release, but the producer's guild intervened in the issue and made the film opt for another date as it would have dented the box office potential of Pan India biggies "RRR" and "Radhe Shyam", which are slated for Jan. 7 and Jan. 14 release, respectively. ## It is said that Pawan Kalyan has agreed to the producer's guild's suggestion in the larger interest of the Telugu film industry. Directed by Saagar Chandra and written by Trivikram, the film is the official remake of the Malayalam hit, Ayyapanum Koshiyum. It also stars Rana Daggubati and Nithya Menen in key roles. ## Meanwhile, Venkatesh and Varun Tej's "F3" will now release on April 29th, 2022. It was supposed to release in Feb/March 2022. On the other hand, Mahesh Babu's "Sarkaru Vaari Paata" will be released on April 1st as scheduled (as of now). Earlier, it was originally announced for January 13, 2022, but postponed to make things easy for others films. ## Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan's "Acharya" will also be released as scheduled on February 4, 2022. There were speculations that it will move further, but, there is no such official development yet. Nagarjuna's "Bangarraju", meanwhile, is planning to release on January 15 or 21 in theaters.## Stay tuned...

Pawan Kalyan's 'Bheemla Nayak' Set To Be Postponed From Sankranthi 2022!

Hyderabad, December 20 - The makers of superstar Pawan Kalyan's "Bheemla Nayak" are playing a cat and mouse game with fans over its release, which is currently announced for Sankranthi 2022. ## There have been a lot of speculations regarding the postponement of "Bheemla Nayak" in the last couple of weeks. However, every time there's has been any news claiming the postponement of the film, makers came out with something that suggested the film will certainly be releasing on 12th January. ## However, the latest development suggests that the release of "Bheemla Nayak" will indeed be postponed and those reports claiming about the same were seemingly not all rumors. It is said that the movie will now be released in February 2022, for which the makers will make an official announcement soon. ## Interestingly, Prabhas's "Radhe Shyam" is already slated for January 14 while SS Rajamouli's "RRR" is slated for January 7 release. It was never a wise move to have 3 big films during the same time period. Someone had to back out for a better box office potential, and it is almost certain that "Bheemla Nayank" is that film. Earlier, Mahesh Babu's "Sarkaru Vaari Paata" was postponed from Jan. 13 to April 1st, 2022. ## With Bheemla Nayak out of the Sankranthi race, pan-India biggies "RRR" and "Radhe Shyam" should enjoy a free run at the box office. "Bheemla Nayak", meanwhile, also stars Rana Daggubati along with Nithya Menen in prominent roles. It marks Daggubati's first collaboration with PSPK. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli Reveals Why He Cast Alia Bhatt As Sita In 'RRR'

Hyderabad, December 19 - SS Rajamouli is gearing up for the release of his next magnum opus, "RRR", due on January 7, 2022. The "Baahubali" filmmaker, who is known for casting his artistes wisely, brings a staller ensemble cast including Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt among others in prominent roles. ## Rajamouli revealed in an interview with IANS why he picked Alia Bhatt to play the role of Sita. The filmmaker said that he saw Alia's "Raazi", and he found her innocent yet very tough from the inside, which was one of the reasons he cast her in the upcoming Pan-India biggie "RRR". ## "I have two super forces in the film — fire, and water — Ram and Bheem, who are very strong and who are exclusive in nature. For me, the character of Sita is very soft, very fragile on the outside. But inside, she is so strong that she would be able to rein in these forces".## "I saw Raazi and I was impressed with her (Alia's) performance. I was impressed by how a simple woman could do things much beyond her capacity. So, when we figured out the characterization of Sita, everybody's choice was Alia. I knew Alia was interested in doing a role in my film but I did not know if she would be interested in playing a cameo. But when we asked her, she immediately jumped in joy without any hesitation", he added. ## "RRR" marks Alia Bhatt's debut in Telugu and she is currently busy promoting the film with the rest of the cast. The movie is produced by DVV Entertainment, and it also stars Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, Shriya Saran, and Olivia Morris in supporting roles. It will release on January 7, 2022, in multiple Indian languages. ## Stay tuned...
