Kona Venkat Calls These Directors ‘Criminals’

Kona Venkat is a well-known writer in the film industry who has created several successful productions.Recently, he has supported Sree Vishnu's movie "Comrade Kalyan," which is performing well at the box office.He has also spoken openly about how some filmmakers spend more money than they should on their films.He used examples to explain his theory and how this behavior is hurting the film business.

Kona Venkat is against directors who film almost three hours of content and then cut out over an hour to make the movie seem like it's two hours long.

He said, "Why film so much and then cut it down?Whatever gets trimmed is a huge waste.It's money that the producer spent, money that belongs to them.Poor planning leads to this, and it happens a lot.I call these people criminals in the film industry, no matter who they are."

Many directors these days don't have a clear vision or know how to turn their ideas into a movie.

As a result, they end up shooting a lot of unnecessary content, which wastes time, effort, and money.

However, Kona has supported some of his assistants who have become directors and are known for completing their films on time.

He said, "For example, Bobby, Harish Shankar, and Shiva Nirvana always plan their films carefully.During the making of 'Ninnu Kori,' we shot 70 percent of the film in the USA in just 31 days with a team of 35 people.Shiva plans his films like that.But many others do wasteful things in the name of making unnecessary content."

Lokesh Becomes Hot Cake For Bunny & Mahesh Fans

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is getting a lot of attention from fans of Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu.His upcoming film, LK 07, was announced with Allu Arjun, and some scenes were reportedly shot in Mumbai.However, new rumors started spreading in the film industry saying that the project might have been put on hold or moved to Mahesh Babu instead.

The Allu Arjun team has denied these rumors, but some Mahesh Babu fans are still hopeful about the possibility of him working with Lokesh.

Despite all these changes, Lokesh remains a popular choice for actors and fans alike.

Everyone is now waiting to see what happens with his next project and how things will develop.

According to some sources, the film AA23 is most likely to move forward with Allu Arjun and Lokesh.

But we still have to wait and see, as Lokesh's projects have seen a lot of changes recently.

For example, his big project with Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan was finally given to Nelson.

His planned project with Aamir Khan was put on hold, and his reported meeting with Prabhas didn’t result in a film.

With so many changes in his projects lately, Lokesh's next move has become a big topic of discussion.

It's possible he will stick with Allu Arjun, but whether there will be another twist remains to be seen.

Rahul also handled the topic of the Devdasi system very well in the film.

No matter how the film does, the way Rahul dealt with those parts made a good impression on movie lovers.

Now, using what he learned from that film, Rahul is focusing more on Ranabaali, which deals with the harsh treatment by the British before Independence in the Rayalaseema region.

Will Nelson Prevent Himself From Becoming Another Lokesh?

The excitement for Jailer 2 is rising, and director Nelson Dilipkumar has a lot to prove with this sequel.Many people think the movie needs to do really well at the box office, especially after what happened with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film Coolie.

Before Coolie came out, there was a lot of buzz about it, mainly because of Lokesh’s fame and the buzz around Rajinikanth’s movie.

Even though Coolie made a lot of money, many people felt it didn’t live up to all the hype, especially when you look at how much it cost and how much it earned.

Before the film was released, Lokesh was also seen as the director who could bring together Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan for a special project.

But later, it turned out both actors pulled out of the plan after Coolie didn’t meet expectations.

Now, similar conversations are happening about Nelson and Jailer 2.

The first movie was a huge hit and helped establish Nelson as a director who can make big commercial movies with Rajinikanth.That means the expectations for the sequel are much higher than before.

People in the film industry and fans believe that Nelson needs to make another big hit to keep his position and avoid the kind of pressure Lokesh faced after Coolie.

While one movie’s performance doesn’t fully define a director’s career, the pressure on Nelson is really intense.Let’s see if he can deliver.

Vijay Deverakonda Is Unbothered By Organized Negativity

Vijay Deverakonda's journey in the film industry has been tough.

He didn’t become popular overnight.It took more than ten years of hard work.But lately, he has been the most criticized person on social media.Especially with his upcoming movie Ranabaali, there has been a lot of negative comments towards him.The film is also going to compete with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, which has made the criticism even worse.

In response to this, Vijay said, “All of a sudden, there are a lot of videos popping up on our feeds, saying our movie is bad and asking people to watch Jailer 2.

But these aren’t just opinions.Usually, people have different views.But what’s happening now is different.Someone is carefully choosing who to target and pushing this content to the top.”  

He then talked about his feelings on achieving success at a young age.

Vijay shared his thoughts on the hate he has faced, especially on social media.He said, “If someone thinks my hard work and passion are a waste, why should I stop growing?If they mistake my honesty for arrogance, why should I start pretending?If they think my confidence is arrogance, why should I back down?If they can’t accept my journey, why should I stop?” said Vijay Deverakonda.

He added, “It’s not me who should change, but them,” said the actor.

“They should also do well in their own lives.I always admire success stories and enjoy seeing people reach their goals.When one person becomes successful, everything around them changes.”  

Mythri Movie Makers are making Ranabaali with Vijay Deverakonda, and they have worked with him before as well.

Producer Ravi Shankar also spoke about his experience with Vijay, saying, “Vijay is a really good actor, and I don’t know why people target him unnecessarily.I’ve also seen hate comments on Ranabaali, even before the trailer was released.Vijay is a straightforward person, and we wish him all the best.”

The film, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, is set to release on October 16th, with Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role.

Junior Vijay’s Directorial Debut Failed, What About Acting?

Thalapathy Vijay's son, Jason Sanjay, recently made his directorial debut in Tamil with the film Sigma.Sundeep Kishan played the lead role, and the film was also released in Telugu under the same title.

The film had some expectations, and people hoped that Sanjay's directorial skills would impress everyone because he had Lyca Productions on board for this big project.

However, the film did not do well, and now Sanjay is moving on to acting.

Sanjay is said to be in talks with Lyca Productions again for his acting debut.

The production house is reportedly discussing with several popular directors, including Linguswamy, for Sanjay's first film.Nothing has been finalized yet, but some media in Tamil Nadu report that Sigma's executive producer, Sanjeev, is likely to be the one who gets the opportunity.

There's talk in Tinseltown that the film is being made on a budget of 35 crore, and Jason Sanjay is reportedly getting a huge 10 crore as pay for his debut as a hero.

Also, Sangeetha's father, who is Vijay's father-in-law and a businessman, is said to be involved in pushing the project forward along with Lyca's Subaskaran.

Sanjay might not be directly using his father's name and fame, but he is trying his luck in different types of cinema.

He hasn't shown his skills as a director yet, and now it will be a big test for him as an actor, because Vijay is a big star and people will be comparing him.

An official confirmation about this is expected to come out soon.
