    0

    Superstar Mahesh Babu who is quite calculative and sentimental for his release dates for the first time seems to have broken the jinx. Though his next film Maharshi has been announced for April 25th release, due to the slight delay in the post-production work and complete things on a decent pace, the makers decided to push the release to May. The film’s producer Dil Raju announced that Maharshi will release on May 9th.

    Mahesh already gave his nod for May release. Vamshi Paidipally is the director and the entire unit of Maharshi sounded super confident on the film. The entire talkie part will be completed by March 17th after which the songs will be shot. The completed shoot of Maharshi will be called off by the mid of April. Pooja Hegde is the heroine and Allari Naresh, Jagapathi Babu, Sai Kumar, Rajendra Prasad and Rao Ramesh will play other crucial roles.

    Tollywood Summer Bunch: Low Buzz

    0

    Sankranthi, Summer and Dasara are the best seasons for films in Tollywood. Most of the stars prefer to release their films during this season to rake massive revenues. After Sankranthi season coming to an end, Tollywood is now focused on summer. Mahesh Babu’s Maharshi, Nani’s Jersey, Vijay Devarakonda’s Dear Comrade, Naga Chaitanya’s Majili, Sai Dharam Tej’s Chitralahari, Sharwanand’s untitled film, Gopichand’s spy thriller and Ram’s iSmart Shankar are the films announced for summer this year.

    Except Mahesh’s Maharshi, no other film is carrying decent buzz among the summer releases. Sharwanand is shooting for Sudheer Varma’s film which has 30 days of shoot left. The film is yet to be titled and Sharwanand, Sudheer Varma are struggling for success. Hence the film is lacking buzz. Naga Chaitanya tasted a series of disasters and his next film’s title Majili too did not get positive response. Samantha playing the female lead is the only positive sign for the project.

    Nani’s Jersey teaser created a decent impact and promises to be high on emotions. But there are talks that the film has a slow paced drama and will not cater to all the sections. The film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri is expected to impress the multiplex crowds. Vijay Devarakonda is yet to start promotions for Dear Comrade and the makers remained silent as of now. Gopichand and Ram too are struggling to make a good film because of which their films are running low in catching the buzz.

    On the whole, this summer has a bunch of releases which are not hot in trade and are carrying low buzz. The teaser and trailers along with promotions may make them hot and interesting. The estimated business during this summer is said to be over Rs 250 crores. We have to wait to see which film ends up as a winner in the summer race.

    There are wide speculations that Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Maharshi release has been pushed. The film got announced for April 5th release initially during Ugadi season. The film’s producer Dil Raju yesterday during his Tirumala visit revealed that the film is hitting the screens on April 25th and not on April 5th. Social media busted out trolling the makers for taking such decision.

    Maharshi will now miss two major holidays (Ugadi on April 6th and Good Friday on April 19th) and the biggest threat for the film is Avengers: End Game which is releasing on April 26th in record number of screens across the globe. Maharshi will not get a dream run in USA because of Avengers: End Game and will also have a partial impact across the cities of Telugu states. Dil Raju who is known to take intelligent decisions about the release dates is said to have done a blunder feels social media.

    Maharshi : Raising budget worrying producers

    Superstar Mahesh Babu’s 25th film Maharshi is progressing at a brisk pace. Directed by Vamshi Paidipalli, the film is a joint production of Dil Raju, Ashwini Dutt and PVP.

    As per reliable sources, the raising budget of Maharshi is a cause of concern for producers. It is heard that the budget might overshoot the mark what they initially planned at the start of the project. For instance, the initially planned to shoot some episodes in a village. But, they are now spending nearly 10 Crores for shooting in a special village set erected in Hyderabad.

    In USA schedule, which lasted for 20 days, director Vamshi Paidipalli forgot to shoot a party scene. The team realised it after returning to India. Recently, they shot that episode in Hyderabad using a green mat. Sources revealed that producers are little worried over the budget issues.

    Maharshi is about two best friends and the story is set in a village backdrop. One of the friends heads to USA and returns to solve a problem. Allari Naresh is playing Mahesh Babu’s friend in this film. Pooja Hegde is the leading lady.

    Maharshi : Who is calling the shots ?

    Superstar Mahesh Babu’s 25th film is titled as Maharshi. Directed by Vamshi Paidipalli, the film is jointly bankrolled by three top production houses. Initially, it was Dil Raju and Ashwini Dutt who announced the project. Later, Prasad V Potluri joined them.

    Though it is Dil Raju who is steering this prestigious project and overseeing all the production formalities, any decision relating to the film’s trade is being finalized with the consent of both Ashwini Dutt and PVP. This is resulting in unnecessary delay regarding closing of pre release offers in major areas.

    Recently, a noted distribution house in overseas has come forward and offered 16 Crores for the theatrical rights of the film. Dil Raju is content with the offer and decided to close the deal. However, Ashwini Dutt is reluctant to accept the offer and asked Dil Raju to wait for some more time in anticipation of a bigger deal. He also suggested for an own release in overseas if they fail to get the desired rate from buyers there.

    Likewise, every decision relating to Maharshi is getting delayed because there is a lot of confusion on who exactly is calling the shots on trade matters.

    Maharshi 8 Crore set : Classic case of superfluous spending

    Budget is one of the major aspects of filmmaking. Sensible planning of schedules and locations is very crucial to make a film without overshooting the budget. Of late, Tollywood filmmakers are failing to control budget spent on big ticket films. The latest case is Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Maharshi.

    Reportedly, a lavish village set has been mounted with a cost of 8 Crores. As the story demands to shoot some crucial part of the film in a village atmosphere, the makers have decided to erect this special set in Hyderabad. They are spending a whopping 10 Crores for this schedule. Usually, shooting in villages might cost around 1 or 2 Crores for filmmakers. But, they are not willing to shoot in real villages due to several reasons and choosing to erect sets in studios which results in unnecessary budget.

    To compensate for the high budget, producers tend to quote exorbitant prices for the theatrical rights and therefore pushing the break even figure to an unreasonable mark. Unless films emerge as blockbusters at box office, they fail to break even for buyers.

    In the olden days, directors used to recreate sets for the environment which is not available. But, now a days, they are preferring artificial sets even though the resources are naturally available. It is high time, filmmakers and heroes plan judiciously and avoid unnecessary spending of budget.

    Mahesh – Vamshi Paidipally film : A risky bet in overseas

    Superstar Mahesh Babu’s last film Bharat Ane Nenu emerged as one of the biggest grossers in overseas. The film collected close to $ 3.5 M, but only resulted in meagre profits for its buyers as the theatricals were sold for relatively higher prices due to the heady and successful combination of Mahesh and Koratala. Now, the stakes on Mahesh’s 25th film Maharshi are also quite high.

    Reportedly, the makers of Maharshi are getting fancy offers in the range of 16 Crores for overseas rights. Discussions are currently on between the producers and buyers and the deal might be closed very soon. Trade analysts opine that it is going to be a risky bet for trade circles as the film needs to emerge as a solid hit in overseas to be a profitable venture for its buyers. They are cautioning that Bharat Ane Nenu managed just to break even though it collected a terrific gross of $ 3.5 M in overseas.

    So, Maharshi needs to perform exceptionally well if all its buyers need to be in safe zone. As the film is releasing in Summer, the expectations are very high. It will be another test for Mahesh Babu’s stamina in overseas.
