Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's Film With Director Surender Reddy To Start Next Year!

Hyderabad, September 7 - On the occasion of Power star Pawan Kalyan's birthday last year, director Surender Reddy announced his maiden film with the superstar. It was supposed to roll out in early 2022, however, due to unknown reasons, further development on the movie never took place. ## It has been more than a year since the movie, tentatively titled PSPK 29, was announced. Reports claimed that the movie has been shelved over creative differences but that is not true as the producer of the film has finally provided the next course of development for the movie. ## Ram Talluri, who will produce this action drama film, recently said in an interview that the movie will happen for sure and that it has not been called off. He stated that it was temporarily put on hold due to Pawan Kalyan's busy schedule with movies and his political ambitions. ## The producer also stated that Surender Reddy is currently busy with his next film titled "Agent" with Akhil Akkineni. That movie is scheduled to release later this year and after he is done with Agent, Surender Reddy will shift his attention to the film with Pawan Kalyan. It will go on floors next year. ## Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan will next be seen in his maiden Pan-Indian film with director Krish, titled "Hari Hara Veera Mallu".

'Liger' Distributor Backs The Movie Despite Heavy Losses

Hyderabad, September 5 - Vijay Deverakonda's sports action drama film, Liger has tanked at the box office. This resulted in heavy losses to the distributors who bought the movie at high prices. The Puri Jagannadh-directed film was made on a big budget and was expected to do well at the box office, but that didn't happen. ## "Liger" opened to disastrous reviews from critics who slammed the movie left, right, and center, as if the movie didn't deserve to exist. Because of the critics' reviews, the movie couldn't gather any momentum after the opening day and ended up with just a 20% recovery of total investment. ## With such a poor response to the movie, it would be fair to assume that the distributors across languages are upset with the makers. However, this is not the case as Warangal Srinu, who bought the entire South Indian rights of "Liger", has backed the movie despite facing heavy losses. ## Warangal Srinu has said that "Liger" is a good film except for the climax. A lot of portions in the movie were excellent, except for the climax of the film. He went on to say that some people spread negativity around the movie without watching it. ## This might have come as a shock for the audience who also didn't like the movie much, however, the audience's word of mouth is not as bad as the critics' reviews. ## Stay tuned...

Underfire Puri Jagannadh Shelved His Dream Project 'JGM' With Vijay Deverakonda?

Hyderabad, September 4 - It seems the massive big failure of Liger has put a massive dent in the confidence of director Puri Jagannadh and actor Vijay Deverakonda as they have reportedly shelved their already in production JGM: Jana Gana Mana. ## Much before the release of "Liger", the actor-director duo had announced to make another Pan India film in the form of "JGM" and it was launched grandly in Mumbai. The makers later roped in Pooja Hegde to play the female lead and the shoot had already begun as it was announced for the August 3, 2023, release. ## However, everything has changed since their much-hyped "Liger" misfired completely. "JGM" was planned to make into a much bigger budget, however, according to the latest Telugu media reports, the movie has now been shelved until they gain enough confidence to go ahead with it. ## It is said that the budget of "JGM" was too high to proceed with it after "Liger's" failure. Puri, after consulting with his production partners, decided to put the project on hold. In other news, it is said that director Puri Jagan is now looking to make a sequel to his last blockbuster "iSmart Shankar" with Ram Potheneni. ## Vijay Deverakonda, on the other hand, has resumed the shoot of his romantic comedy film "Kushi", co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the female lead. Written and directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, "Kushi" has 70% completed. It is scheduled to release in cinemas on 23 December 2022 during Christmas. ## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Puri Jagannadh Shows Big Heart Again After Dismal Box Office Performance of 'Liger'

Hyderabad, September 1 - Director Puri Jagannadh's long-awaited film Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda, has proved to be a costly affair for the entire team as he turned out to be a massive disappointment at the box office. ## The sports action drama film was expected to bring a lot of money to the producers and distributors, but things didn't go as per the makers' wish as the distributors will face, at least, a 70% loss from the total investment of around 90 crores worldwide. It is reported that the distributors are in big shock as they invested a lot of money in the hope that it will give them the best return, which is not going to happen. ## However, in a gloomy time for the distributors, director Puri Jagannadh is once again coming to their rescue and taking full responsibility for the film's failure. As per the industry insiders, Puri Jagannadh will compensate Liger distributors and buyers and will meet them in the coming days. ## This is a very nice gesture by the filmmaker who is a well-respected person in the Telugu film industry. He has rescued his distributors in the past as well and now, he is going to do the same. Puri Jagannadh has delivered some of the biggest Telugu blockbusters, and he will be hoping to repeat the same with his next film "JGM", which is also with VD. ## "Liger", produced by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects, has so far grossed approx. 55 crores worldwide, even after taking the biggest opening for VD's career. However, it crashed badly on the second day itself and never revived from thereon, becoming one of the biggest disasters of all time. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 31 - The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are in full swing across the country as devotees are bringing different types of Lord Ganesha idols to their homes to celebrate this 10-day-long festival. Every year, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival brings a lot of excitement and charm as devotees chose different ways to worship their idols, and this year, the festival gets a filmy touch. ## Over the last 8 months, Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" has been in people's talks for various reasons, the character of Pushpa Raj, played by the South superstar has become the most talked about movie character in the country. Interestingly, Pushpa Raj's style is inspiring people to bring Ganesha statues, in which the deity can be seen sitting in a white kurta-pyjama similar to how Allu Arjun wore in the film in his signature hand style of saying "jhukega nahi". ## However, this latest trend among the Lord Ganesha devotees is not being liked by many people who call this an insult to the elephant-headed God. Have a look at some of the tweets, disapproving of this trend of celebrating the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. ## Allu Arjun craze hits Ganesh Chaturthi.But that's not at all fair.

Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Fails Badly To Do Justice To The Massive Hype

Mumbai, August 30 - Vijay Deverakonda had a chance to include himself in the elite league of Telugu stars and could have extended Tollywood's dominance at the box office with his sports action drama, Liger, but things turned out otherwise. ## The Puri Jagannadh-directed film was one of the most hyped Indian films of 2022 and it could have made big even with the mixed reception, but Alas!... it opened to one of the poorest responses in 2022 from audiences and critics which dismissed its chance to score big on the opening day itself. ## "Liger" took the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda's film, but from the second day onwards, the movie crashed badly and couldn't grow further, even on Sunday. The movie had a rare chance to hold on to the lower level on weekdays, but even that didn't happen as it scored approx. 1.40 crores on Monday for all languages and officially becomes one of the biggest disasters of the year. ## Vijay Deverakonda promoted the film aggressively across the country and it looked like the movie will become a big blockbuster. The advance booking was also excellent but what happened next is there for everyone to see. It has so far grossed approx. 50 crores and will be wrapped up under 70 crores worldwide. ## The performance of Vijay Deverakonda got praise but it was Jagannadh's writing and direction that led the entire efforts of the team to go in vain. Critics are claiming it is the worst Puri Jagannadh film ever and the box office numbers also suggest the same. ## Karan Johar's Dharma Production produced the film in association with Puri Connects. It also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead alongside Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in key roles. Former American boxer, Mike Tyson plays a cameo role, making his Indian film debut. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Karthikeya 2 Overtakes Radhe Shyam In Hindi

Mumbai, August 26 - Actor Nikhil Siddhartha's blockbuster Karthikeya 2 has surpassed Prabhas and Pooja Hegde's Radhe Shyam's lifetime collection in Hindi languages. Radhe Shyam, which was released earlier in March this year, couldn't do justice to Prabhas' stardom in the Hindi version and ended up collecting only approx. 19.50 crores net. ## "Karthikeya 2", which opened to nothing numbers of just 7 lakh but grow significantly with each passing day after getting excellent reviews and super positive word of mouth. It scored 5.75 crores net in the opening week, followed by 13.52 crores (+235%) net in the second week. The total Hindi collection of the movie after 14 days reached 20.11 crores.## There is no comparison between Radhe Shyam and Karthikeya 2 as the Prabhas-starrer movie was made on a huge budget and scale against K2, which has been made at a fraction of the budget of RS. However, it was the content, where Radhe Shyam fell flat whereas Karthikey 2 has been hailed as one of the best Telugu films of the year, resulting in, it also making huge noise in the dubbed Hindi version as well. ## Directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and T.G.Vishwa Prasad, "Karthikeya 2" is following the trend of Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" in the Hindi version. While Pushpa's lifetime Hindi collection is way out of reach for Karthikeya 2, it still can end up with an excellent lifetime collection. ## "Karthikeya 2" has had a good run at the USA box office so far with over $1 million gross. The total worldwide collection of the movie so far is 83 crores gross, including approx. 50 crores at the domestic Telugu version. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Liger First Friday Early Estimates (All Languages)

Mumbai, August 26 - The horror has come alive as Vijay Deverakonda's Liger falls massively on the second day itself after taking a record but underwhelming start upon its Thursday release in Telugu version. The Puri Jagannadh-directed sports action drama film scored 15.5 crores net on the first day, including 13.80 crores in Telugu. On its first Friday (2nd day), the movie scored an estimated 6-8 crores net for all languages. The only saving moment of the day for the movie is that the Hindi version starts well and scores an estimated 3.50-4 crores net today, which is technically its first day. The total Hindi collection including Thursday previews is around 5 crores net. Liger will need miracles to cover the lost ground in the remaining two days of the opening weekend. The Hindi version may give some relief, however, that won't be easy as word of mouth is negative. The other versions are nowhere in the scene, which means the movie is heading for a big disappointment. About This Movie This film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Karan Johar, Charmme Kaur, Apoorva Mehta, Hiroo Johar, and Puri Jagannadh under the banners of Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. Liger stars Vijay Deverakonda, and Ananya Pandey in key roles. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Underperformed Despite Record Opening

Hyderabad, August 26 - Vijay Deverakonda's sports action drama Liger was released in theaters yesterday (August 25) and it was a day of mixed feelings for the makers. ## Directed by Puri Jagannadh, "Liger" opened to record-breaking (as expected) box office numbers for a tier-2 Telugu film, but at the same time, the makers must be preparing themselves for what they are going to get in the future, at least for the most important Telugu version. ## "Liger", which had a very good pre-release buzz, remained underwhelming despite taking the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda with an AP/TG share collection of 9.14 crores, worldwide is approx. 24 crores. ## Puri Jagannadh described the movie as his best project to date, however, upon its release, the film got very poor reviews from critics while the audience's word of mouth is also not so encouraging which is clearly visible in the opening day numbers that were expected to be around at least 35 crores worldwide. ## The future of this Pan India film is looking blink, especially knowing the fact that the stakes involved in it are high. "Liger" has been valued at approx. 90 crores worldwide, but going the current trend, the stakeholders will be hoping for miracles to happen to recover even 50% of the total investment. ## It's not all doom and gloom for "Liger" as of now as other versions, including Hindi, will get the full-fledged release from August 26 onwards. However, with the kind of reception the Telugu version has got, it will surely affect the biz of other versions of the film which remains to see. Stay tuned...
