Peddi B.O: Where Is The Movie Headed To?

 Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s Peddi is in its important second weekend. It will be interesting to see how the movie performs from Monday, as there are already signs that the movie is slowing down during the workdays.

In the Telugu States, the movie did better.

 We will have to see how many areas will break even with the GST given by the producer and how many areas won't even reach that even with the GST.

But it's a fair result anyway.

Considering the mixed reviews and huge pre-sales, no one thought the movie would make it this far.

The movie is a failure outside of the Telugu States and overseas.

The buyers in Karnataka are losing a lot of money.

Jio Studios reportedly sent an advance of about 40 Crore for the Hindi version.

 The movie didn't do well there, so the producer had to send back a big amount.

The movie didn't do well in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

 But the advances from Tamil Nadu and Malayalam aren't huge.

The overseas buyer lost a lot on the film.

 He paid about 43 Crore and lost a lot.

The breakeven in North America alone is about 6.5 Million Dollars, and the total collection will be around 3.5 Million.

The rest of the overseas markets will also see big losses.

The producer has to cover the losses for the overseas buyer because it's a huge amount.

Which Actress Can Lead a Liquor Prohibition Backdrop?

 Director Venu Udugula recently started working as a producer for a movie called Raju Weds Rambai. The film has been very successful, and he is now also working on another project as a producer.


At the same time, he is also directing another film, which is said to be funded by Swapna Cinemas.

 The film is reportedly named Chukkalu Themmanna Tenchuku Raana. There have been a lot of discussions and rumors about this project.


If these rumors are true, the film will focus on women, and actresses like Sreeleela and Bhagyashri Borse are being considered for roles.

 However, the team is hoping to cast Sai Pallavi, since Venu previously worked with her on Virata Parvam.


The story is based on the sensitive topic of liquor prohibition that happened during NTR's time in the then united Andhra Pradesh.

 The setting is both intriguing and delicate, and having a well-known actress could help make the audience believe in the story.


It's believed that the film won't take a side on the issue but will tell a story around that event.

 Swapna Cinemas usually supports films with strong content, and they seem to be following that approach with this project. More information is expected soon.

Tollywood Casting Artist Booked For Harassing Young Actress

 The negative side of the film industry is still getting attention, as another serious problem has come up from Hyderabad. A casting artist has been taken into police custody after an actress accused him of harassment and not paying her money that was owed to her.


The actress said that Prasad, who works as a casting coordinator, helped her get a part in the movie Aakasamlo Oka Tara, where she played a character similar to the heroine.

 Even though the filming of her role was done several months ago, she said she hasn't received the money she was supposed to get.


According to her complaint, she is still waiting for Rs 90,000 as payment for her work and Rs 38,000 for travel expenses.

 She said she reminded him several times, but he kept delaying the payment without giving a proper reason.


She also claimed that Prasad later called her for a meeting, saying it was about settling her money.

 But instead, he allegedly physically harassed her and promised her bigger roles and more chances in Tollywood.


After talking to her family, the actress went to the police to ask for help and protection.

 The police in Banjara Hills registered a case and are now looking into the matter. This incident has once again shown the challenges many artists face in the film industry.

Deewana Emerges as a Youth Favorite After Trailer

The well-known Geetha Film Distributors is preparing to launch Harshith Reddy's new romantic drama Deewana in a big way on June 19. Directed by Sreekanth Sangishetty, the film has been gaining attention through its marketing efforts, and the recent trailer has really boosted the excitement.

What's surprising trade experts is how Deewana is getting so much attention, even though it's coming out at the same time as Samantha's Maa Inti Bangaaram.
 Most people thought the star-studded project would be the one getting all the discussion, but the emotional Deewana trailer has become a big topic, especially among younger audiences.

The trailer launch at AAA Cinemas had Allu Aravind, Vishwak Sen, and several top filmmakers in attendance.
 The feedback from people in the industry was really positive, with many commenting on how emotional and genuine the film feels.

Sreekanth Sangishetty, who is making his directorial debut, has created a one-sided love story with a lot of heart.
 What's really impressive to trade circles is how a movie made by a young team has managed to build so much anticipation. Industry folks think a lot of this success is because of the support from experienced producer Allu Aravind and the backing of Geetha Film Distributors, which has helped raise the film's profile.

The trailer has made moviegoers, fans, and industry people take notice.
 Many are now thinking Deewana might become a huge hit and maybe one of the most unforgettable love stories in recent Telugu cinema. With the growing buzz and rising expectations, everyone is now looking forward to June 19 to see if Deewana can turn its strong pre-release energy into real box-office success.

Nagarjuna Announces Lenin’s New Release Date

After several delays, Lenin has finally set July 10 as the release date. Nagarjuna showed full confidence, saying the team asked for more time to make the best work.

Nayanthara to Join Raghava’s Kanchana 4?

Raghava Lawrence's Kanchana 4 is still getting a lot of attention, and the latest news has brought a new development in the casting. Earlier, there were rumors that Rashmika Mandanna would be playing an important role in the film's flashback scenes. But now, new reports suggest that Nayanthara might be considered for that key role instead.

The buzz has increased after recent news said that Nayanthara has joined the project in a major role.
 If this is confirmed, it will be another big name added to the already famous horror-comedy series.

Interestingly, Pooja Hegde's character is said to be completely different from the flashback role.
 According to sources, she has a big part in the main story, and a lot of her filming has already been done. This has led to speculation that the makers are planning a separate storyline that's important to the film's plot.

So far, the filmmakers haven't officially shared details about the characters, which has left fans wondering about the story structure.
 Based on the past movies in the series, the flashback parts are likely to be emotional and deeply connected to the horror elements.

With Raghava Lawrence heading the project and several top actresses involved, the excitement is growing.
 Whether Nayanthara ends up taking Rashmika's role in the much-discussed flashback scenes is still unclear. But these casting updates have definitely brought Kanchana 4 back into the conversation. Fans are now waiting for an official statement from the team.

‘Hero’ Scam In Hyderabad, Rs 3.5 Cr Looted!

The movie industry is one of the most sparkling and exciting businesses in the world. Because of this, many people really want to figure out how to get into the film world and make it big.

But not everyone in this industry is honest.
 Some people trick people by selling them false promises about making it in films. This has happened in Hyderabad, where an old couple was cheated out of 3.5 crore rupees by another couple who pretended to be movie producers.

The couple, who called themselves Ashok and Vijayalakshmi from A4 Motion Pictures, tricked an old man named Hanuman Rao from Kukatpally.
 They told him that they would make his son a big movie star and that the film would make a lot of money. In return, they asked for 3.5 crore rupees.

Over the past few years, Hanuman Rao gave them the money.
 When he realized he had been fooled, he tried to get his money back. But the couple threatened to ruin his son’s future and refused to return the money.

With no other choice, Hanuman Rao has now gone to the Hyderabad Police to get his money back.
 This is another example of how dangerous and fake some people can be in the film business, which is why many people warn others not to trust strangers in this field.
