No clarity on SyeRaa overseas release

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s ambitious patriotic drama SyeRaa Narasimha Reddy is getting ready for release on October 2nd. This much awaited film is creating ripples in domestic market with stunning pre release business in Telugu states. However, the overseas business is a matter of concern for the makers as there are no buyers.

SyeRaa makers have pegged the overseas rights initially at 25 Crores considering its high budget and solid craze. But, no distributor came forward to snap the rights. Even at 20 Crores, they couldn’t close the deal. Renowned overseas distribution house Phars Films has offered 15 Crores for rights. But producer Ram Charan is not willing to close the deal at that price. He is looking for better offers. As the release date is fast approaching and prior planning is required for getting a wide release in overseas, the makers of SyeRaa should plan judiciously to get a good release there.

Ram Charan is still in a dilemma regarding the overseas rights. SyeRaa being a prestigious and big budget project, Charan cannot wait too long and mess up with the premiers. They need to finalize the deal well in advance to get good number of screens in overseas. Will they wake up and make sure that the film gets solid openings in overseas ? We have to wait and see.

Sitting in the editing suite, Megastar Chiranjeevi is said to be taking utmost care about the final output of Sye Raa. He is mercilessly chopping out some sequences, to make the film crisp and at a healthy runtime.

Excessive marketing is leading to rumours on Saaho and Sye Raa

Both the films Saaho and Sye Raa are those super budgeted movies where the producers spent a mammoth without any second thought. And to take those films deep into the audiences in order to bring huge crowds to theatres in the first week, the teams of these movies are working really hard.

Taking a cue from Bollywood stars who promote their films very aggressively, Prabhas is repeating the same for Saaho. He’s been to all the TV shows and going to different cities to talk about the film. Already he has covered Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore in that process. At the same time, he has given interviews to almost all the leading Bollywood portals.

Megastar Chiru is also following the same pattern as they have roped in Pawan Kalyan to give voice-over which could rake up buzz, followed by Bollywood interviews and lots of hungama. But this marketing strategy, which is new to Tollywood as films are marketed here mostly on the hero’s image, is leading to rumors as well.

The moment Saaho Censor certificate came out, there is a buzz that film’s second half is weak, the first half is long and many like that. In the end, they add, that’s why Prabhas is promoting the film aggressively. Even Sye Raa is also getting haunted by similar rumors only.

Probably the mindset of audiences needs to take a new-turn here because as long as they think that excessive marketing is because of the average product, they are wrong.

Thanks to Baahubali, Our 300 cr is safe -Chiranjeevi

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son Ram Charan gave a terrific treat to Bollywood media folks to promote the teaser of ‘Sye Raa’ and announce the arrival of the movie. We have to say that it worked out because Bollywood can’t stop raving about this movie now.

When quizzed about why he picked Sye Raa, Megastar said, “This content is on my mind from a long time, as it happens to have action elements due to the patriotic connect, and also the emotions are bigger. At the same time, the story has commercial ingredients that could make it work at the box office”.

Is this the right time to do this film? “We have dared now, looking at Baahubali and its run” articulates Chiru, giving the whole credit of taking Sye Raa on the floors to Baahubali. But what about the huge budget involved as they say close to 200-300 crores is spent on the movie?

“As we are promoting the film, the money is still being spent and it stands close to 300 crores easily. But thanks to Baahubali, we’re not worried about the investment as that will easily comeback through collections and other sources” Chiru made it clear.

Directed by Surender Reddy and bankrolled Ram Charan, Sye Raa is hitting the marquee on October 2nd.

Pawan Kalyan turned Sye Raa’s brand ambassador

0

Whether it is love for his mega brother Chiranjeevi or he is concerned about his son Ram Charan’s investment, Pawan Kalyan is making sure that ‘Sye Raa’ gets the maximum attention through him. Even though the team has started promoting the film only in Bollywood, Pawan kick-started it in Tollywood it looks like.

The news of Pawan giving a voice-over for Sye Raa became a hot topic and finally, the teaser came out, adored with his rebellious tone as he describes the legacy of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. Following it with a tweet on the eve of Chiranjeevi’s birthday, Pawan Kalyan penned a note that showcases his heartfelt love for big brother. He mentioned about Sye Raa as well in that note.

Later Pawan tweeted about the legacy of Uyyalawada and how this unsung hero sacrificed everything for the people and country. He shared many notes and videos regarding this. And then, he comes up sharing pictures where he is shot with Amitabh Bachhan on Sye Raa sets.

In any case, Pawan’s special focus on the film makes him a ‘Brand Ambassador’ of Sye Raa in the eyes of fans. Who knows, tomorrow he might attend the pre-release event of the movie too.

Nayantara hasn’t budged for Megastar also

0

One of the most unprofessional thing being an actor/actress is, not promoting the film before the release. Star heroine Nayantara has once again repeated it, as she hasn’t budged her no-promotions rule even for Megastar Chiranjeevi.

As the team of Sye Raa met the Mumbai media yesterday, at the teaser launch event, Nayantara’s presence is well needed as she happens to be the leading lady of the movie. But the actress has given a miss to the event as usual, as she never attends the promotional events of her movies.

With senior heroes like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna and Venkatesh finding it difficult to get young heroines to romance them, they are going for Nayantara, who is clarifying them in advance that she won’t do promotions. She must have given an exception for Sye Raa for the kind of content the film has and for the hefty budget invested on it.

In contrast to this, Nayantara’s absence is not worrying Sye Raa team at any point. They are believing that her stardom can create an impact only in Tamil, but not in Telugu or Hindi.

Reason Sye Raa War Scenes look great

What is tough while making historical films is to craft war scenes that look like one. In some films like Vijay’s Puli, Anushka’s Rudramadevi and Kangana’s Manikarnika, war scenes look like a puppet show for various reasons. But how to make one like the one we see in Game Of Thrones?

Sye Raa has the answer for that if the teaser that was released other day is to be considered. More than visual effects alone, actually war scenes should be shot using real horses and also on jeeps and other equipment that go at the speed of those real animals. And visual effects should support the live-shots so perfectly that they should bring a more realistic look to the war rather just creating blood splatter and sword piercing. There is a reason why they are looking such real and awesome in Sye Raa teaser.

The whole of these war sequences are actually shot in Georgia with real horses and real riders. Then we have the likes of experienced Hollywood action choreographers Greg Powell and Lee Whittaker composing them, whose working style and output are totally different from how our ‘masters’ do. Then we have the latest camera rigs, cranes and other motion control equipment used by cinematographer Ratnavelu to film those scenes. On top of everything, talented VFX teams have done the rest of magic in the post-production.

This type of work actually makes the genuine different and we should appreciate Surender Reddy as well as Ram Charan in picking up such able technicians.
