Thammullu, Irumudi Thega Nacchesthundi: Ravi Teja
Irumudi is becoming a film that mixes family emotions, suspense, and intense drama, and it shows Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja in a new way.The film's pre-release event was held today in a big and grand way.
Director Shiva Nirvana said the idea for Irumudi started with a father-daughter relationship, not an Ayyappa story.
"This story started with a father who gives his daughter full freedom and tells her to share everything that happens with him.As I explored the problems girls face through her eyes, I started thinking about how he could control his anger and emotions.That’s when I got the idea of him wearing the mala.That was the beginning of the story."
He also warned viewers not to expect a light-hearted movie.
"There have been many thrillers in Telugu cinema, but we believe this is the first time an intense family drama has been presented with thriller elements in this way.It is not a light-hearted film.It is extremely intense.The last 40 minutes will completely immerse you in a human drama.I would call it one of the most intense and serious family dramas in Telugu cinema."
Shiva is especially proud of how he presented Ravi Teja.
"I initially thought I might make a mass entertainer with Ravi Teja.But today, I feel extremely proud that I have shown him in this manner.He even took off his shirt for the mala scenes.Audiences will watch the film again for Ravi Teja and his performance."
The much-awaited song Mallepoola Pallaki is also expected to be a big moment in the film.
"We wanted an Ayyappa song where the hero could sing with a lot of energy in the right situation.Everyone suggested Mallepoola Pallaki.We first used it as a small part, but it later became a big topic on social media.We invited the original singer Dappu Srinu to sing it because we wanted to keep the original feel.In the film, audiences will see Mallepoola Pallaki at the right moment, with the right energy and a powerful sequence featuring around 100 swamis."
Ravi Teja said he believes Irumudi will give audiences a powerful emotional experience.
"All our technicians have fully owned the film.Production designer Sahi Suresh, editor Prawin Pudi, music director GV Prakash and everyone else have done a wonderful job."
He also highlighted the importance of the supporting characters.
"Every character is important.Swasika impresses with her performance.Some characters will stay with audiences.Ramesh Indra's character is wonderful.The audience will see a different Sai Kumar in the movie.Mark my words, Nakshatra is going to become a big heroine.She has a very bright future.The scenes between us are going to be hard-hitting.Priya looks perfect in the role of Kaveri in the film.She has performed very well, especially in two scenes where she is superb."
The star also made a special promise to his fans: "Brothers, I can confidently say this— the film is going to be loved by all of you.
You are going to experience a good film in theatres and see a different Ravi Teja.I will speak about director Shiva at the success meet."
The event was also attended by successful directors Bobby, Buchi Babu Sana, Rahul Sankrithyan and Sai Rajesh.
Vishwanath & Sons Recovers Half Its Target In First Weekend
Suriya's film Vishwanath & Sons is doing very well at the box office.Because people are talking positively about it, the movie has become a big hit, especially in the Telugu states.Families are really enjoying the movie and coming to watch it a lot.
Earlier reports said the movie needs to make Rs 200 crore worldwide to break even.
By Sunday, the movie had already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark, meaning it has already recovered about half of its target in just the first weekend.
The movie is doing well because the audience is really enjoying it.
Suriya and Mamitha have given strong, mature performances, and Venky Atluri's emotional storytelling has also been well received.These things are helping the movie keep its good momentum.
One big advantage for Vishwanath & Sons is that there aren't any major movies coming out that could compete with it right now.
That means the movie is expected to keep making good money on Monday and during the weekdays.
The next important day is Monday.
If the movie stays strong after the weekend, it could get even closer to its break even target in the coming days.
With Rs 100 crore already made against a target of Rs 200 crore, the film is in a strong position.
If it keeps going at this pace, it could reach break even by next weekend and become one of the bigger successes in Suriya's career.
The movie has also seen a big increase in overseas earnings after the good word and strong reviews.
The improved response from international audiences has helped it perform better worldwide, giving the film an extra boost as it enters the important weekday phase.
The movie is produced by Naga Vamsi and also features Mamitha Baiju and Radhika Sarathkumar in key roles.
The coming weekdays will show if the film can keep up its strong weekend performance.
Telugu NRIs Make VAS Suriya’s Career Best in NA
Suriya's Vishwanath & Sons is on track to become his most successful movie in North America so far.
So far, his film 24 is the biggest hit with around $1.6 million in North America.
Now, Vishwanath & Sons is expected to beat that number today.
A big reason for this success is the support from Telugu people living overseas.
Interestingly, the Telugu earnings for Vishwanath & Sons are nearly double the Tamil earnings every day.
Earlier reports showed that the movie had the right kind of story for the NRI audience.
With good reviews and strong word-of-mouth, it has managed to reach this level.
What's even more interesting is that Vishwanath & Sons is a Tamil movie.
The makers announced it would be dubbed and released in Telugu, and yet the Telugu collections are much higher than the Tamil ones in North America.
The director, Venky Atluri, and producer, Naga Vamsi, are both from the Telugu film industry.
Telugu audiences have once again shown that they deeply connect with the film and can make it a big hit if the content is strong.
While Vishwanath & Sons is doing well in the US, it now has to face the important Monday test in the domestic markets.
It's still unclear how the film will do today in both Telugu states and Tamil Nadu.
