Mahesh and Jr NTR clashing for 'third' time

Superstar Mahesh and young tiger NTR are both wounded heavily with their last flicks at box office. These heroes are now waiting for time to pounce on ticket counters again and showcase their strength. Maybe they both have to clash with each other in this process.

Tentative release dates for both Aagadu and Rabhasa are fixed for May month only. Jr NTR is contemplating to hit on May 9th, while Mahesh wants to sizzle on silver screen on Krishna's birthday even on May 31st. whatever it is, the clash between Mahesh and Jr NTR at around same time is what keeping fans fingers crossed. Earlier, they clashed with Khaleja and Brindavanam, and Jr NTR stood winner that time. Later Mahesh gave a fitting reply with Dookudu, while Junior's Oosaravelli limped. So for the third time, Mahesh and NTR are locking horns and the result is what fans are excited about.

Aagadu is being directed by Srinu Vytla and features Tamanna, Prakash Raj and Rajendra Prasad alongside Mahesh. Santosh Srinivas is making Rabhasa with Jr NTR, Samantha and Praneetha in the leads. Both the films have music scored by Thaman.

Screen Talk: '1' Man Show

Last year, during the Sankranti season, Mahesh and Ram Charan fought it out at the box office. 

Both of them gave hits and set the cash registers ringing. This year too, both of them have films lined up for release. But the situation is likely to be totally different, say observers. 

Film Nagar insiders feel that it is likely that it is going to be a ‘1’ man show this festive season. 

Apparently, the Censor report too says leans towards 1. 

Trade analysts feel that Mahesh will take on the box office single handedly this year.

Yevadu has been postponed for a very long time and this has adversely impacted the film. 

Also, music by Devi Sri Prasad is a minus. Though the makers are trying their best to salvage the film with promotions, it is not helping much as Mahesh’s image and the craze for ‘1’ is huge. 

The impact of Thoofan is also likely to affect the fate of Yevadu. 

However, mega fans are hopeful that Yevadu will overcome these hurdles and do good business. 

It will soon be out as who the hero is for this Sankranti!

Silent Mahesh Or Vibrant Mahesh?

Like the intensity of hype it generation, Mahesh Babu's '1 Nenokkadine' is making people equally anxious. This is because of the look of our hero, which he claimed as the best till date in his career.

For the first time ever, we are watching photos of Mahesh Babu without having smile on his face when it comes to '1 Nenokkadine'. Though Superstar has done some serious characterization look earlier, but it is only for a short period. In Athadu, Athidi and Sainikudu, Mahesh went to that silent and serious mode just for a while, and rest of the time he is part of delivering all that comedy and entertainment. Say it the trailer, teaser, video or leaked pictures of '1', all of them are showing Mahesh in a serious avatar only. Though a girl is running after him, he is still silent and delivering different expressions only through his eyes.

A hero's characterization in the movie is what drives the clicking factor at box office. If Mahesh is completely silent throughout the flick this way without any vibrant entertainment, then chances for this 72 Crore venture (that's the amount EROS invested) will be slim. Let's hope Superstar is vibrant, but not silent.

Who Delivered Marketing Plans For Mahesh?

For the first time in Tollywood everything is going as per a plan, rather fans themselves creating all the buzz. Here we have set of functions when it comes to big movies and their promotion, but nothing beyond that. However things are quite different for Superstar Mahesh. This is regarding the promotions his upcoming flick '1 Nenokkadine'. Check this out.

Already, initial teasers have brought lot of attention to '1 Nenokkadine' and the leaked stills of the flick created much more curiosity. Then the idea of airing audio function live in theatres created a rage for the kind of thought. It is then followed by the plan to distribute merchandise including t-shirts, caps, key chains, stickers and badges along with the audio-CD for those who buy tickets to watch audio function live. Now, just three days before music launch on December 19th, a micro-teaser is released and that brought much more attention. Many say that the presence of EROS entertainment as the wholesale buyer of '1 Nenokkadine' is responsible for this unique marketing plan.

Generally in Bollywood, makers allot big budgets for promotion irrespective of the star of that flick. Looks like, EROS is making their counterparts of '1 Nenokkadine' do the same thing here such that their investment of 72 crores will be in safer avenues and earn them huge profits. For now these marketing plans delivered by the B-town giant are making Mahesh hold crown, and little support from content created by Sukumar will make him win 2014 Sankranthi race.

Yevadu Could Lose Out In the Race

The film has been postponed for the past six months. Now, Yevadu is slotted for a Sankranti release.  But since it is being released alongside Mahesh Babu’s 1-Nenokkadine, industry analysts feel it will face some business problems.  

It is a known fact that Mahesh Babu has a lot of craze in the US market. So, releasing Yevadu in competition with ‘1’ is a risky business feel its distributors.  It is heard that the distributors who bought the film’s rights are no longer keen on doing business in the US.  Apparently, a distributor told Dil Raju that it will be difficult for Yevadu to get theatres and to make business if the film is released during Sankranti. But if the film defers the Sankranti release, then it will stand to lose in the state.

 Hence, Dil Raju will have to look out for a new distributor or distribute the film himself in the US.  Last year, when Ram Charan’s Nayak released along with Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, it was a huge flop in the US. But the film was a hit here.  Despite positive talk and good reviews, Nayak failed to win over the audience in the US over SVSC. That’s the reason why the buyers in the US are thinking twice before tying up with Yevadu!

Now Hindi Superstar follows Mahesh!

While T-town Superstar Mahesh Babu is all set to launch One audio in selected theatres across the state, first of its kind in Indian Cinema, Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan is going to follow the trend which is more or less same. 

Going by Bollywood reports, Salman is planning to release the trailer of his forthcoming film Jai Ho in a theatre in Mumbai. Usually, the first look of Hindi films would be launched amidst media. Now, Salman is going to break this ground on December 5 by screening the trailer at Chandan, a single-screen theatre in Mumbai. Salman's brother Sohail, also director of the film, has given his nod to his brother's proposal. What's more? Salman is going to interact with his fans soon after the launch. However, there is no clue on whether audience need to buy tickets for the screening or not whereas Mahesh's audio event is costing his fans. 

Jai Ho is Hindi remake of Chiranjeevi-starrer Stalin and it is due for January 24 release. The film features Tabu and Sana Khan as the female leads who will reprise Jyothika and Shriya Saran in Telugu.

1-Nenokkadine @ 85 Cr Target Vs 35 Cr Profit

'1-Nenokkadine' is the most awaited flick of the season not just for entertainment sake, for also beating records and for writing new ones. Superstar Mahesh Babu is getting ready to showcase his stamina with the high budgeted flick of his career that is made under Sukumar's direction. But it seems like there are certain benchmarks that the flick should cross to prove its capacity.

Well, let us call 'Eros International' as the producer of this flick as the original makers '14 Reels' have sold it already at a staggering price of 72 crores. The whole budget of this movie is 72 crores now and only a penny more than that will be counted as profit for the Mumbai based Production Company. Firstly, to smash records in Tollywood, '1-Nenokkadine' should beat Pawan's Attarintiki Daredi, the latest crown-holder of Telugu industry. Final figures of AD have already touched 85 crores nearly and counting.

So, Mahesh Babu should cross this mark to become the new industry-hit deliverer of Telugu cinema. But what is unseen here is the profit made by AD for producer BVSN Prasad. Made with a budget of 50 Crores nearly, AD raked in 85 crores meaning there is a profit of nearly 35 crores. Mahesh should then reach 100 Crore club with '1-Nenokkadine' if he wants to give 30+ crores profit to Eros. Can he do that? Will he beat 85+ Crores record or deliver 30+ crores profit? Only time has the answer!

'Two' Mega Movies Against 'One'

Superstar Mahesh's 'One' is a sure shot releasing flick for Sankranthi, while Ram Charan's 'Yevadu' is going to be its prime competitor. Though there is no clarity from Dil Raju's side yet, many say that Yevadu will be hitting anywhere between Jan 9th to 12th.

If 'Yevadu' is the first Mega movie that is going to give tough time for 'One', second one is in line is another unpredictable flick. Aspiring hero Sai Dharam Tej's 'Rey' is the one we are talking about. Though director-producer YVS Chowdary is planning to release this flick from last Summer, sources have now confirmed that he is eyeing a Sankrathi release. In that case, within  a week of '1 Nenokkadine' and 'Yevadu' release, 'Rey' will also be hitting screens.

At the first place, it is Superstar Mahesh's 'One' that eyed January 10th, a lonely date, to create wonders at box office. But now two mega heroes are joining the race, and the competition looks interesting folks.

Mahesh promised during 'Arjun' ?

Impressed with the trial shoots on the sets of 'Arjun', superstar Mahesh Babu reportedly promised to his friend and director Gunasekar, that would like to do the pivotal role of Kakatiya warrior Gonaganna Reddy, on the sets of their film 'Arjun' few years ago. We all know that the ace director has erected a opulent Madurai Meenakshi Temple set for the film but very few know, that during the breaks, the director used to do some trial shoots for his pet project 'Rudramma Devi' with Smitha Madhav who played sita role in Gunasekar Balaramayan was supposed to play Rudrama Devi, but later she dropped out for marriage, since by then, the director had full-bound script of the Kakatiya Queen on hand.

Instead of taking rest, the director used to work hard to capture some good moments in the artistic sets and Mahesh Babu who got to know of it, summoned Guna for a brief chat. When, he listened to the captivating historical story line and particularly about this special character Gonaganna Reddy, he instantly promised to director, that would like to 'play that role', whenever the director would make the dream movie.

At last, Gunesekar began his  dream project few months ago and midway approached Mahesh and reminded him about the role of fearless senathipathi and the discussions have been fruitful and even Mahesh re-collected his 'promise' he made to the director. However, the actor who is tied up with films like 'One' and 'Agadu', had to spare a good number days, for this role, so he is trying hard to accommodate, Rudramma Devi, into his scheme of things. In fact, the actor, is grateful to director Gunasekar who made him a star material with smashing hit 'Okkadu' and got him the 'larger-than-life' image, which has made him a superstar overnight. Now, its time for the actor to return the favour by keeping up his word and give the director who also turned a producer, a much-needed blockbuster.
