Megastar Chiranjeevi completed the shoot of Syeraa and the film is in final stages of post-production. Megastar is focused on the final cut of Syeraa and he is busy sticking himself to the editing table. The final runtime (as of now) is locked to be 2 hours and 45 minutes.

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.

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.

Struggling heroines queuing to meet Prabhas, Charan in Mumbai

0

As the news spread like wildfire that both Ram Charan and Prabhas are staying at the same hotel in Mumbai, and they will be seating there for a couple of days, look who has tried their level best to cash upon that.

The same PR agency that is handling Prabhas’ Saaho media promotions is handling Charan’s production venture Sye Raa too. As the heads of this PR company are quite popular in Mumbai circuits, some heroines like Lavanya Tripathi and Hebah Patel have requested them to help meet the two Telugu stars.

Reports from verified sources have revealed that Lavanya has met Charan, Prabhas and Tamil hero Vijay Sethupathi yesterday, while Hebah Patel met Ram Charan before dinner. While the heroines wanted to meet the top stars to congratulate them for Saaho and Sye Raa, the fact is that they are on the lookout for offers, and hoped that meet-n-greet might do them some favours.

Some struggling Bollywood heroines are also said to be queuing up to meet these happening big stars. That’s how Mumbai heroines work and there is no wonder tomorrow some of them grab opportunities in films related to these stars.

Sye Raa and Saaho- Can they continue the hawa?

0

Two big films are coming up from Telugu tinsel town to take on the whole nation in the coming weeks. One happens to be Prabhas’ Saaho which is releasing on August 30th and another one is Megastar Chiru’s Sye Raa that releases on October 2nd. Teams of these films have started promoting the film big time in Bollywood at the moment.

Both Saaho and Sye Raa will be an acid test for Tollywood, to check out if they could produce best films without the support of ace director SS Rajamouli. Because Baahubali 1 and Baahubali 2 credits have fallen in the lap of Rajamouli, proving that he’s the filmmaker who could understand the universal emotion in a better way. In the footsteps laid by Baahubali series, the likes of KGF have succeeded and now its the turn of Saaho and Sye Raa.

Bollywood has seen both Saaho like content and Sye Raa like stories in the recent past. Race franchise, Dhoom franchise and Ek Tha Tiger series fall under this category Saaho, and they worked only if story clicked, but not for visual effects and grandeur. Then we have films like Manikarnika and Thugs Of Hindostan that resemble Sye Raa like a story, and only the ones with better narrative clicked.

The responsibility actually lies on directors Sujith and Surender Reddy to narrate a compelling story in order to make Saaho and Sye Raa sweep the Bollywood box office. And if they continue the Baahubali hawa, the respect for Telugu industry and the craving for big budgeted VFX bonanzas just grow.

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.

SyeRaa : 2019 release doubtful?

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s highly anticipated magnum opus period drama Syeraa which chronicles the life of unsung freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy is in the making for nearly two years. The film was initially supposed to hit the screens in the first half of 2019. But, due to long delay in shoots, the makers have planned to release it in October as Dusheera treat. Now, the chances of the film’s release in 2019 look bleak as there is a lot of pending post production work to be done.

It is learnt that the CGI team which is working on the graphics has reportedly asked more time to wrap up the VFX work of the film. They have agreed to complete the work by November end. Even though producer Ram Charan is not happy with the long delay, the team has decided not to take any chance and give ample time to the CG team to come up with perfect output. Sources revealed that there are a lot of VFX layers in many scenes during the flash back of the film. So, director Surender Reddy and Ram Charan have option but to wait for the work to be completed by November. With no other option left, SyeRaa might release only for Sankranthi 2020.

SyeRaa : Know the real story behind its making

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s historical period drama SyeRaa Narasimha Reddy is one of the costliest films in Tollywood till date. The film traces the journey of unsung freedom fighter Uyyalawada. While the shooting formalities of this highly anticipated film are happening at a brisk pace, here is what actually happened before the project got materialised.

SyeRaa script was originally offered to Nandamuri Balakrishna by Paruchuri Brothers long back when he was working on Vamshodarakudu. Star producer MS Reddy and director Jayanth C Paranji were supposed to work for this film. A character sketch of NBK was also designed at that time. The estimation of budget to make this film in those days was nearly 50 Crores which is on the higher side as per the market at that time. So, the producer and director had to back out from the project.

A decade and more later, Chiru was approached to play the lead role in this historical film. Even Chiru expressed reservations because of the staggering budget involved in making it. He felt that it would be risky to invest such a mammoth budget for a Telugu film. But, the roaring success of Baahubali franchise in all regions has prompted Chiru and team to revive the project and finally start working on it.

Directed by Surender Reddy, the film has an ensemble cast in prominent roles.
