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.

‘Kalki 2898AD’ Team Stuck In A Huge Dilemma!

There is a lot of talk going on regarding the release date of Prabhas’ magnum opus sci-fi action drama ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. Following the ‘Jagadekaveerudu Athiloka Sundari’ sentiment, they announced that the release date would be 9th May. But the delay in post-production as well as the elections in Telugu states has forced the makers to postpone the release.

The makers are now stressed about finalising a new release date. They are looking at two options which are 30th May and 20th June. There are even thoughts of the movie going to July as well. The situation is not favourable in June as Kamal Haasan and Shankar’s ‘Indian 2’ is planning for a June 13 release. Shankar is busy with his daughter’s marriage but he will announce the date officially once he returns.

As Kamal is playing a special role in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, the team will not be looking to compete with the legendary actor’s much-awaited film. Also, ‘Indian 2’ blocked this date before which means that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ cannot occupy the date now. Things will be more difficult in July as the summer holidays will be over and youth will be busy returning to schools and colleges.

Also, a movie of such a big magnitude needs ticket hikes and it is going to be a huge problem in AP. If TDP and Janasena form the government, it is smooth sailing for ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ team but things won’t work out in the same way if Jagan comes to power once again. He is not keen on increasing the ticket rates and it is well known that producer Ashwini Dutt is a supporter of TDP. Keeping all of this in mind, we need to see how things turn out for this gigantic film directed by Nag Ashwin.
