Vijay’s Vaarasudu pushed to January 14th

1

Top producer Dil Raju produced Varisu, his first Tamil film that features Vijay in the lead role. The film is titled Vaarasudu in Telugu and is directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Varisu is announced for January 11th release and there is a huge confusion over the Telugu version of the film. Vaarasudu is now pushed to January 14th as the final work for the Telugu version is not ready. With Veera Simha Reddy releasing on January 12th and Waltair Veerayya releasing on January 13th, Vaarasudu release is pushed to January 14th. This would be a comfortable date for a Vijay’s film in Telugu feels Dil Raju.

Dil Raju made some strong statements in the recent weeks and his acts too irked some of the Tollywood bigwigs. He also took a direct dig on Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy. Ajith’s Thunivu will release as per the plan on January 11th in Telugu as Thegimpu. Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy will also have a wide release across the Telugu states. Dil Raju and Vamshi Paidipally will announce the new date of Vaarasudu today.

Dil Raju trying hard to convince Vijay

Top producer Dil Raju is producing Varisu which has Vijay in the lead role. The actor was reportedly paid Rs 110 crores as remuneration for the film and Varisu hits the screens during Sankranthi 2023. Vijay is one actor who stays away from promotions and he only attends the pre-release event of his films in Chennai. He never promoted any film in Telugu states till date. Dil Raju is trying hard to convince Vijay and bring him for the promotions of Vaarasudu in Hyderabad. Vijay is hesitant about promotions and he only gave one interview during the release of Beast.

As biggies like Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy are in the Sankranthi race, it is important for some aggressive promotions of Vaarasudu. Vijay’s Telugu market is on a rise and he has to promote the film to cement his position in one of the biggest markets. Varisu is a family entertainer directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Rashmika is the heroine and Thaman scored the music. The released singles are super hits in Tamil. The film’s release date will be announced soon.

Tough battle for theatres during Sankranthi 2023

1

A couple of years ago, there were debates on about allocating theatres for a dubbed film during the Sankranthi season. Now the same situation is getting repeated for Sankranthi 2023. Dil Raju who is the producer of Vijay’s Varisu blocked several good screens in Nizam and Vizag regions for the film. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy are the films hitting the screens during the season. There are talks that Varisu will comparatively get more number of screens for Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy. This is because of the hold of Dil Raju in the distribution system across the Telugu states.

Tollywood exhibitors will prefer to screen Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy as they are straight Telugu films and have veteran actors playing the lead roles. But the agreements are done for Varisu. Mythri Movie Makers is producing Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy and they are releasing both these films on their own. There would be a tough battle in the allocation of the screens during the season. Ajith’s Thunivu too is releasing during the season and Dil Raju will distribute the film. For Sankranthi 2023, there would be two straight Telugu films and two dubbed films.

Tamil market Overseas is not just limited to US/AUS/UK/Gulf like Telugu films as they have a wider population in Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, France/Europe, etc.

Vijay’s previous films like Mersal, and Bigil have collected more than 10 Million gross in the Overseas markets. So the recovery isn’t difficult with positive word of mouth for the film.

Tollywood producers burning pockets for Tamil Actors

1

After the coronavirus pandemic, there is a huge vacuum in several film industries. Several Tamil actors have been looking towards Telugu films and filmmakers. Our over-enthusiastic producers have paid whopping amounts as advances and locked Tamil stars. Actors like Vijay, Dhanush, Sivakarthikeyan and others signed straight Telugu films. The filmmakers estimated high profits considering their Tamil markets. But as the stars collaborated with Telugu directors, the businesses are not so great for these films. The asking price for the theatrical rights is quite lesser than their regular market and quotes.

This turned out to be a shock for the filmmakers who are making films with Tamil stars. Their Telugu theatrical market completely depends on the buzz and the trailer. For now, there is no clarity about the exact pre-release business. Vijay has charged Rs 110 crores for Vaarasudu and the film should end up as a super hit to end up as a safe project. Mythri Movie Makers also paid a huge advance for Vijay and Atlee is on board to direct the film. Dhanush is charging Rs 25 crores per film. His recent films did not do well and he managed to release too many films this year. Sir is gearing up for the December release. Sivakarthikeyan’s Prince is struggling for buzz even after the actor scored a series of super hits. For now, Tollywood producers are burning their pockets by signing films with Tamil stars.

Tollywood producers furious on Dil Raju

Top producer Dil Raju took the initiative and suggested a strike for other producers to get things to control. He is the face of the Active Producers Guild of Tollywood and a series of meetings are planned this week to discuss about the hurdles the producers are facing. Leaving everyone in shock and surprise, the shoot of Dil Raju’s Vaarasudu featuring Vijay happened in Vizag as per the plan. Dil Raju came up with a silly explanation that Vaarasudu is a Tamil film and it is not a Telugu film.

Tollywood top producers are now furious on Dil Raju about his acts, statements and the work he has been doing. Dil Raju delivered fake promises recently. He said that he did not hike the ticket prices for Naga Chaitanya’s Thank You but the tickets were sold for high prices. Dil Raju is trolled on social media and the Tollywood media houses attacked him for his acts. Another active member of the Guild, S Naga Vamsi continued the shoot of Dhanush’s Sir and the shoot is happening in Ramoji Film City. Though the producers are tight-lipped, everyone is furious on Dil Raju and Naga Vamsi.

As discussed earlier, the Tollywood producers have to stand united to cross all the barriers and resolve all the issues. Else, the issues will never get resolved.

Dil Raju takes a Wise Decision

0

Top producer Dil Raju happens to be one of the most successful producers of Telugu cinema. He emerged as the leading distributor for Nizam and Vizag regions. Asian Films of Nizam are not aggressive in distribution and they are focused on producing films. This turned out to be an advantage for Dil Raju in Nizam region and he is aggressively distributing films. He even made more profits through distribution in the recent years than in film production. With stars quoting huge remunerations and film budgets not in the control of the producers, Dil Raju is not much interested to bet big by producing big budget films in the future.

He recently met a couple of star actors and was shocked by their quoted remunerations. Dil Raju instead is producing small-budget films and web series for now. Ram Charan and Shankar film, Vijay and Vamshi Paidipally film are the only biggies that he has currently. Dil Raju decided to focus more and distribute films for Nizam instead of taking a risk by paying hefty paycheques for stars. Naga Chaitanya’s Thank You produced by Dil Raju is struggling for buzz. The film will release on July 22nd.

Beast Review : Senseless Hostage Drama !

Beast Movie Review

Beast Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating 2/5

Story

ISI terrorists take hostage of 150 people in East Coast Mall, Chennai. The terrorists demand release of their leader Umar Farooq who is in Indian prison. Ex-RAW Agent Veera Raghavan is one of the hostages who swings into rescue operation. Rest of the film is how the rescue operation goes on.

Analysis

In general, the hostage dramas don’t fit for a larger-than-life mass hero on Indian screen. Film industry and audience hoped Sun Pictures, Nelson and Vijay team might break the rules with an engaging plot. Trailer hinted at a subtle humor laced thriller on the cards, but it has ended up another way. Narrating this thin plot film with linear screenplay is a good decision. Hostage theme films require smart writing to help convincingly narrate the rescue operations which is something sorely lacking in the film Beast.

With such a serious main plot, inserting any comedy is a double-edged sword. Director Nelson’s strength to generate humor is serious situations didn’t work this time. It is indigestible to see the comedy scenes by the hostages as if they are at picnic table. Over the top sequences are designed for Veera Raghavan are merely aimed at fans and fail to appeal to the average audience. Initial portions of the first half are engaging with the terrorist operations, Arabic Kuthu song and up until the main hostage drama begins. The graph goes down as the film progress from here. The Home Minister character, in charge of the rescue operations, leader of the terrorists and pretty much every character is irritating. The terrorists are shown as very harmless people, they barely hurt the hostages, and Veera was never challenged. None of the hijackers have any characterization. Climax is unbelievably silly – Veera goes to Pakistan, nabs the terrorist chief, brings him to India through Pakistan Airspace and as a bonus he pilots Sukhoi fighter jets – facepalm moment.

Performances

Vijay as usual is very fine in the two dance numbers. He excels in style and mannerisms. Except for the two songs, Pooja Hegde has no role in the film, and she is paid just for sitting around.

Production values by Sun pictures are very good. Anirudh’s background score is excellent and so is Manoj Paramhamsa’s cinematography. Frames are vibrant and rich. Dance director Jaani master has done good work. Though the technical departments are good, the poor direction and script have damaged the film beyond hope.

Positives

  • Vijay’s styling
  • Anirudh’s Background Score
  • Arabic Kuthu Song

Negatives

  • A stupid plot and poor direction
  • Too many over the top scenes
  • Irritating comedy in hostage situation

Verdict

BEAST is a farcical and stupid film that occasionally plays to the peanut galleries. Fans of Vijay might find it passable, for others this hostage action-comedy film doesn’t make the cut. Best to avoid.
