Allu Aravind targets young directors for Aha

It is clear that the shows in Allu Aravind’s OTT platform Aha received mixed and poor response. To stand in the race and compete with digital giants like Amazon and Netflix, Aha should come up with shows that have unique and exceptional stuff. Allu Aravind collected the feedback and he is said to have taken the suggestions from his industry friends.

He is in talks with several young and talented directors who can direct web based films and shows. Sudheer Varma, Deva Katta and Vivek Athreya already signed contracts with Aha. Allu Aravind is in plans to rope in some more directors and produce web series that appeals to OTT viewers. His team prepared a list of directors who can direct interesting content in feasible budgets. Allu Aravind is personally interacting with the list of directors. Along with these, Aravind is also focused on acquiring the streaming rights of several Telugu films.

Allu Aravind’s proposal for Aha irking Producers

Mega Producer Allu Aravind ventured into digital space and he floated his own platform ‘Aha’. Naming it an exclusive digital platform for Telugu movies and web series, Allu Aravind sought support from several top producers of Telugu cinema. He is said to have approached several top filmmakers who are quite active and are producing back to back films. Allu Aravind’s arrival excited them but his proposal left them irked.

Allu Aravind is keen on introducing a ‘profit-sharing’ basis through digital views. With Amazon, Hotstar and Zee5 paying a huge amount for the digital rights of Telugu biggies, Allu Aravind wanted to pay nothing but he decided to share the revenues as per the received clicks. Most of the producers are against the proposal as Amazon and others are paying huge advances for big-budget films and are acquiring the digital rights for fancy prices. The recent shows released on Aha too received poor response.

When there is tough competition for digital rights, Allu Aravind’s proposal of revenue sharing will not make Aha a successful platform anytime soon.

Allu Aravind turning a tough competitor for Amazon

With the huge rise in the number of viewers for films on OTT platforms, digital giants like Amazon, Netflix are investing huge amounts to acquire the digital streaming rights of Indian films. Amazon has been leading the list and the platform turned out to be comfortable for Indians as the subscription price is Rs 1000 per year. Netflix failed to reach all the corners as it is quite costly when compared to Amazon. Mega producer Allu Aravind is all set with his OTT platform ‘Aha’ which was launched in a low key affair.

He is now in talks with all the leading production houses to ink deals and acquire the streaming rights of all the upcoming biggies. On the other side, he is producing a bunch of web series which will be available soon. As Aha needs much content, the subscription prices are kept low and will be charged for premium content as of now. All the old films can be watched for free. Allu Aravind is said to give tough competition for Amazon in the coming days as he is keen to acquire the streaming rights of all the Tollywood biggies.

Allu Aravind’s Ramayanam shelved?

A few months ago, Tollywood’s leading Allu Aravind officially announced a Rs 1500 Cr multilingual movie, based on the epic Ramayana, in the direction of Bollywood filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari of ‘Dangal’ and ‘Chichhore’ fame.

Also, Nitesh Tiwari and another director Ravi Udayarlu are not known for making movies with visual effects.

Allu Aravind has announced as three-part series in multiple languages in association with two other producers. As things stand today, no star has given nod to this project.

Allu Aravind’s bold move for his 70th birthday

Mega producer Allu Aravind is one of the most successful producers of Telugu cinema. He recently celebrated his 70th birthday in the presence of his family members. The ace producer took a shocking step and decided to distribute all his wealth between his sons. He equally shared all his properties for his three sons Venkatesh, Arjun and Sirish. Allu family resided jointly in Jubilee Hills from the past few years.

Recently, Allu Arjun conducted a Bhoomi pooja for his new lavish bungalow that will be constructed soon. It is clear that the top actor will move out with his family for his happy space. Allu Arjun will not share the profits of Geetha Arts anymore as he floated his own production house recently. Aravind decided to share the profits of Geetha Arts in future to his other sons Venkatesh, Sirsh and his sister Vasantha. Allu Venkatesh will overlook the production responsibilities of Geetha Arts as Sirish is keen on acting.

On the whole, Allu Aravind is now a relieved man and will spend some relaxing time in the coming days.

Allu Aravind’s business acumen: Advance payments to them

Telugu film industry always sings loud about the way senior producer Allu Aravind’s runs his business. Especially he’s known for the kind of business acumen he has when it comes to setting up few projects.

Recently Aravind has come up with projects like Geetha Govindam and Taxiwala, and those two films have done well for him. But he has regrets of missing some interesting films like Brochevarervaru Ra and Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya that minted crores for the producers and distributors. Though he has heard about those films, he hasn’t bought them as he felt that they won’t work.

After looking at the way they worked out, Aravind is asking his team to find the directors of those films and shower them with advance paychecks. The owner of Geetha Arts has now given instructions to his team to not miss out such brilliant young directors and asked them to lock them for a project in the future.

Not just Aravind, but many deep-rooted producers (and distributors) are of the opinion that they should work with the young directors of these films in order to maximise, both their image and box office capability. Are those directors willing to work with these established players is the question that needs to be answered now.

VVR Row: Megastar and Allu Aravind enters the scene

The drift between Boyapati Sreenu and DVV Danayya in Vinaya Vidheya Rama disaster row is taking several turns. Boyapati and Danayya had a heated argument and exchanged vulgar words three days ago which became the hot topic of discussion across Tollywood. With buyers losing Rs 30 crores, Charan wanted Boyapati, Danayya and himself to return Rs 15 crores (Rs 5 crores each) to the buyers and sent Danayya to Boyapati. But the top director is not ready for the proposal. After this, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind entered the scene.

Megastar who went through the entire issue responded in two ways: He pointed Charan for involving in the film’s business. Charan is the person who closed the theatrical business deal and wanted Danayya to sell the AP / TS rights to UV Creations, the close friends of him. Because of this Charan took the responsibility to save the buyers.

Megastar also responded asking Allu Aravind to convince Boyapati to pay back Rs 5 crores from his remuneration. Allu Aravind shares a close bonding with Boyapati and the top director also signed one more project for Allu Aravind after the super success of Sarrainodu. From his remuneration of Rs 15 crores, Allu Aravind will convince Boyapati to repay Rs 5 crores as compensation for the buyers.

We have to wait to see if Boyapati steps down and returns back the amount.

A big shock for Allu Aravind

After the casting couch issue and Sri Reddy’s sleazy comments on Pawan Kalyan , Mega producer Allu Aravind held a press meet recently and lashed out the three media channels claiming that they stooped to lowest levels.

Following this, a meeting was held in film chamber and Aravind appealed to all bigwigs of Tollywood to boycott the programs of three media channels who are constantly targeting film industry and in particularly Mega family.

As Allu Aravind is a top producer and hails from the illustrious Mega family, his appeal was supposed to invite strong support from industry people.

However, in what can be a big shock to Aravind, several bigwigs from industry who were present at the meeting opposed his statements.

It is learnt that some of them have questioned Aravind why the Mega family didn’t condemn the casting couch issue when Sri Reddy made allegations on several industry people. Also, they have pointed out that none from Mega family attended the meeting held in film chamber to tackle the issue and also asked why did they come out until Mega family became a target.

Allu Aravind intervenes to avert NPS – BAN clash

Summer biggies Naa Peru Surya and Bharat Ane Nenu are aiming for release on the same date – April 26th. As a box office clash between two big ticket films might be unhealthy for all parties involved, trade circles are desperately waiting for one of these two films producers to alter their release plans.

As both the producers failed to reach a consensus on the release dates despite holding close talks on a couple of occasions, Mega producer Allu Aravind stepped in to sort out the issue as soon as possible.

Telugu360 learnt that Allu Aravind along with producer K.L. Narayana and Gemini Kiran have intervened to settle the release date clash.

Gemini Kiran is a key member of Telugu film chamber. On the other hand, K.L. Narayana has Mahesh Babu’s dates for SS Rajamouli’s film. So, he is mediating talks with Mahesh Babu and BAN producer. Aravind wants to end this protracted issue some how immediately as Naa Peru Surya has his son Allu Arjun in the lead role.

We have to wait and see who backs out from the race. A clarification on the release dates is likely to be out very soon.

Mega producer to revive Bommarillu Bhaskar’s career ?

After making a promising debut with a clean slate family and youthful entertainer Bommarillu, Bhaskar set sights on becoming a top league director in Tollywood. He followed it up with a sensible love story Parugu which starred Allu Arjun in the lead role. However, the talented director couldn’t make a mark after that as he failed to deliver the goods with Orange, Ongole Gitta and the recent Bangalore Naatkal.

According to the latest reports in the industry circles, Bhaskar is now looking for a comeback with a film to be bankrolled by Mega producer Allu Aravind on his Geetha Arts Banner. It is learnt that Bhaskar has convinced Aravind with an interesting script and Allu Sirish is likely to play the lead role in this project. An official confirmation is awaited on this.

Bhaskar was supposed to work on a multi-starrer starring Venkatesh and Vijay Devarakonda. But, the project was put on hold due to unknown reasons.

So, it remains to be seen if Bhaskar can regain his touch under the aegis of Geetha Arts Banner.
