Culture Ministry Moscow Delegation Meets Megastar Chiranjeevi!

The Tollywood industry is not regional anymore. Thanks to the current Pan-India trend, the Industry reached places and displayed its capabilities. Tollywood cinema reached the global stage and RRR won the prestigious Oscars. RRR received a big applause from the global audience. This is the growth of Tollywood.

Now we might see a massive collaboration as it looks like it is on the cards. The reason for this is that a delegation of the Culture Ministry of Moscow met Megastar Chiranjeevi at his residence. The main motto of the meeting is to explore the chances of collaboration between Russia and the Indian / Telugu Film Industry.

Chiranjeevi is the right pick for the meetings given his legacy. As a veteran member of the film industry, Chiranjeevi understands every aspect of films and filmmaking. The Mega family is one of the illustrious families and it would be a good start for the possible collaboration.

Talking about the delegation that met the Megastar it includes-Cinema Advisor to the Minister of the Government of Moscow Ms Julia Golubeva, Head of Center for Creative Industries Development, Federal Agency for Strategic Initiatives- Moscow, Ms Ekaterina Cherkez Zade, Director of the Universal University Ms Maria Sitkovskaya and other senior members.

During the interaction, the delegation explained the Creative Industry in Russia and shared thoughts on promoting shootings in Russia. The span of Telugu cinema increased over the years and there are many locations in the country. If the two are combined then we can see a big collaboration. A discussion was also held on the collaborations between the industries.

With this, we can expect a big collaboration. The potential Indian cinema/Tollywood has and the rich locations Russia enjoys can form a great force. India and Russia have been friendly nations for a very long time. With collaboration, the ties can be taken forward.

Nobody Owns Tamil Cinema: Vishal Fires At Red Giant Movies!

Tamil hero Vishal has scored a hit with ‘Mark Antony’ and he is coming up with ‘Rathnam’ soon. Whilst promoting his upcoming film with director Hari, Vishwal talked about the monopoly in the Tamil industry and vented out his anger on Udhayanidhi Stalin and his ‘Red Giant Movies’ banner.

He said, “I had a major confrontation with a person in Red Giant Movies. Nobody owns Tamil cinema and if anybody claims that they do, they will not succeed in the industry. I know that person very well. In fact, I was the one who introduced him to Udhya (Udhayanidhi) in 2006 after Sandakozhi. And when he called me and asked me to postpone the release of my films, I was not able to digest it. My producer borrowed money and spent about Rs 65 crore on Mark Antony. He had also announced long ago that the film would be released on September 15 during the Ganpati festival.”

He added, “If I had kept quiet I would have lost so much. Because we released the film on that date, the producer made profits, Adhik got a career break, and I achieved a great victory. I’m sure I’ll also face similar issues for Rathnam.”

Coming to his Rathnam, Vishal and Hari teamed up for this film after hits like ‘Bharani’ and ‘Pooja’. The theatrical trailer was launched recently. Priya Bhavani Shankar is the female lead. Samuthirakani, Yogibabu and Gautham Vasudev Menon play key roles in the movie. Devi Sri Prasad is giving the music while Sukumar is the director of photography. TS Jay is the editor. Written and directed by Hari, the movie is being made under Stone Bench Films and Zee Studios. ‘Rathnam’ will be released worldwide on 26th April 2024.
