Will Ram Charan Win The National Award This Time?

Mega Powerstar Ram Charan’s Peddi is set to release on June 4th, and the team is working hard to create excitement around the film.

Interestingly, the team is doing everything possible to build up the hype for the movie.

 During promotional events, several team members are praising Ram Charan and even predicting that he might win a National Award.

Whether it's actor Ravi Kishan who hinted at this during his speech at a Bhopal event, or Shiva Rajkumar who made the same prediction at an event in Karnataka, or director Buchi Babu who is constantly pushing the idea in his interviews with national media, everyone seems to be hoping that Ram Charan will receive a National Film Award.

According to sources from the film unit, the emotion of Peddi is entirely based on Ram Charan’s performance.

 The climax scene is said to showcase his full range as an actor and also includes a big surprise for the audience. If this resonates with the audience, the movie will not only become a blockbuster but also generate a lot of discussion about Charan’s performance.

In fact, many fans believe that Ram Charan could win the prestigious award twice—once for Magadheera and again for Rangasthalam.

 However, Peddi might be the perfect chance for him to try and win the award.

Telugu cinema saw its first ever National Film Award for the Best Actor category with Allu Arjun.

No Big Offers For Munna Bhaiya After Mirzapur

Divyendu Satia did an exclusive interview with Ram Venkat Srikar before the film Peddi was released on June 4 as part of the promotional activities. The actor talked about his journey, the changes he went through, and the decisions that helped shape his career.

He talked about his early days and how the role of Liquid in Paanchama became a surprising big hit.

 The character was loved by the audience, but it also put him in a position where he might be offered similar roles in the future.

Divyendu mentioned that after Mirzapur, there weren’t many big offers for a long time.

 Instead of getting a lot of similar roles, he had to wait and think about what direction he wanted to take next.

He said that this time away was actually a valuable learning experience.

 It made him more careful about not repeating the same roles and instead look for parts that challenged him and helped him grow as an actor.

When he talked about Mirzapur and Muna Bhaiya, he said the character brought him more recognition than he expected.

 It also required a lot of emotional depth and consistency, which changed how people saw him as an actor.

With Peddi, Divyendu finally got a chance to try something new, especially by stepping into a different cultural and language environment.

 He called it a refreshing change that helped him rediscover the fun of acting.

Balayya Reacts On Exhibitors’ Crucial Problem

The fight between people who show movies and those who make or distribute them in the Telugu film industry has become a big problem that needs to be solved quickly.

One of the main issues that exhibitors are talking about, along with the percentage problem, is that they are not getting enough big movies.

 This is hurting their income all year long.

This problem has now reached Nandamuri Balakrishna, and he showed a lot of worry about it during a public event today.

Balakrishna said that big heroes need to make multiple movies regularly to help the exhibition sector.

He said, "It's up to the whole Telugu film industry to make as many movies as possible to support the exhibition sector.

 It's sad to see them locking up their venues because there's not enough movies coming out. In the past, when filmmaking wasn't as advanced, movies used to come out more often. Now that we have better technology, we are making fewer films."

It's good to see Balakrishna caring about the problems faced by the exhibition sector, which is an important part of the film industry.

 He has urged the industry to make more movies, which should help save the exhibitors.

Balakrishna himself has been working steadily, making at least one new movie every year.

 It's everyone's job in the industry to keep making movies at a steady pace.

Tollywood Shock: 93% For Producer, 7% For Single Screens?

The people showing movies in Telangana are not happy with how the movie makers are splitting the profits from films. The movie show organizers want to get a share based on percentages, but the movie makers are not agreeing and want to use a rental system instead.

Balgovind Raj, who owns the Sudarshan theatre, shared some information about how the profits work.

 He explained how the money is divided when a movie makes a certain amount of revenue.

On average, if a movie makes one crore rupees, here's how the money is divided.

Single screen theatres pay rent of 7 lakh rupees, and the movie makers get 93 lakh rupees.

In the percentage system used by multiplexes, the multiplexes take 45 lakh rupees and the movie makers get 55 lakh rupees.

Balgovind also said they made a good profit when the movie Dhurandhar was released.

 The movie did well at the box office, and they earned a lot of money because of the percentage system. Right now, no matter how popular a Bollywood movie is, it's released using the percentage share system.

With Peddi coming out on June 4th, we'll have to see what the final decision will be.

Sing Geetham: From Gambler To Lively Guy

At 94 years old, Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao is finally making his long-time dream come true by directing the film Sing Geetham. Nag Ashwin is supporting the project through Vyjayanthi Movies. Recently, the team showed off the title glimpse and a deleted song, and they also introduced three main characters at an event in Vizag.

The video introducing Ayaan as Prathap starts with Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao explaining his vision for the film.

 Even though the character was originally meant to be a carefree gambler, Singeetham wanted Prathap to be more lively, magnetic, and full of charm.

The video then shows a fun mix of behind-the-scenes moments, like Ayaan working hard in rehearsals, having some fun on set, and getting help from the directors as he prepares for his role.

Next, the team introduced Ahilya, who plays Gauri.

 They said it was difficult to find the right person for this role. Gauri is a vibrant, caring, and warm-hearted character. The video shows how much effort Ahilya put into her rehearsals and preparation.

Finally, they revealed another important character, Shalini, who plays the antagonist Renu.

 This role is very significant and impactful in the story.

Music director Devi Sri Prasad, who joined the event via video call, said that Singeetham Sreenivasa Rao is the main reason people should watch the film.

Telangana Exhibitors Put Peddi Under Pressure Again

The theatre issue involving Peddi is once again getting complicated in Telangana. After some calm was created following talks between producers, exhibitors, and distributors, the problem has come back strongly just before the film's release.

In the past few weeks, Telangana exhibitors have been asking for the percentage system to be used in single screen theatres instead of the current rental model.

 However, producers are said to be unwilling to make quick changes for films that are already being made and ready to be released.

Earlier, both sides had agreed to form a committee with members from producers, exhibitors, and distributors to find a solution.

 This step helped reduce the tension and gave hope that Peddi would not face any problems when it came out.

But before the committee could finish its work, exhibitors again spoke to the media and set new conditions.

 They made it clear that Peddi would only be shown in single screen theatres if the percentage system is used.

Exhibitors also told that they had already talked with the Telugu Film Chamber.

 They said the issue was supposed to be settled around the time of Hari Hara Veera Mallu's release, but producers have been delaying it for months.

They argue that theatres used to make good money in the past, but now collections and profits have gone down a lot.

 They say most of the country uses the percentage model, but Telangana still uses the rental system. With Peddi being one of the biggest upcoming films, this issue is once again causing serious worries for the industry.
