Can NTR Prove To Be Better Than The Rest?

We have seen many Tollywood heroes trying their luck in Bollywood over the years. Seniors like Venkatesh, Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna did straight Bollywood movies. Though they had one or two hits, they couldn’t sustain their hit form for many years in Bollywood and confined themselves to regional cinema. Also, they did not try too hard and shifted back to the South in order to preserve their market.

But the opening of pan-Indian market changed the perception of everyone. Even regional cinema is getting nationwide recognition and even crossing boundaries. Mainly, a lot of Telugu heroes have gotten pan-Indian following lately. Despite competing with ‘Dunki’, Prabhas managed to get over 100 crores with ‘Salaar’ in the Hindi market which showed his craze.

As we know, Charan and NTR got nationwide fame after ‘RRR’ and they are planning to take it to the next level. While they are making pan-Indian movies like ‘Game Changer’ and ‘Devara’ respectively, NTR decided to take the Bollywood route as well. He okayed to become a part of ‘War 2’ and he recently landed in Mumbai to shoot for his portion.

The star hero is going to share screen with Hrithik Roshan in this movie and we all know that Hrithik is termed as ‘Greek God’ by everyone. His screen presence is unmatched. NTR is a great actor without a doubt but being in the same frame as Hrithik is something different.

While other Telugu heroes arrived with solo hero flicks in Bollywood, NTR is going to arrive alongside Hrithik Roshan. This is going to be an even bigger task. While Tarak is a better performer, Hrithik is more good-looking. It is going to be a challenge for the ‘RRR’ hero but we need to see if he proves to everyone that he is better than the rest or not.

Varun Tej Doing All He Can For ‘Matka’!

Mega Prince Varun Tej has hit a rough patch recently. He arrived as a solo hero with movies like ‘Ghani’, ‘Gandheevdhari Arjuna’, and ‘Operation Valentine’. All three of them became disasters and his market took a severe beating because of it. His fan following is getting is getting affected and sources say that his upcoming movies are facing the heat due to it.

During the time of ‘Operation Valentine’, he started a movie titled ‘Matka’ which is set in a period backdrop. The glimpse generated a decent response and Karuna Kumar of ‘Palasa 1978’ fame is directing it. Around 15 days of the shoot was completed and Ram Talluri bankrolled the film under SRT Entertainments. The movie’s budget was initially planned at 55 crores.

Varun Tej had two disasters and there are doubts about the box-office stamina of the Mega hero. Along with the digital rates, everything is going down and the makers are finding it a risk to invest such huge money on this film. Reports suggest that Varun Tej is doing all he can as he has reportedly agreed to a reduction in remuneration.

Apparently, Varun met with the producers and was involved in the budget details and new schedules in the last week of May. Let us wait and see if all his efforts work out or not. Meenakshi Chowdary and Nora Fatehi are the female leads in this movie. Naveen Chandra and Kannada Kishore will be playing prominent roles.

Ashish Teja is the production designer and Suresh is the art director. A huge vintage set depicting Vizag in the 60s is going to be constructed by the team. GV Prakash who is signing multiple Telugu projects lately is going to compose the music for this flick too. Priyaseth will handle the cinematography. Karthika Srinivas R is the editor. This indeed is the first Pan India project for Varun Tej and it will release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages. The rest of the cast includes Ajay Ghosh, Mime Gopi, Roopalakshmi, Vijayrama Raju, Jagadeesh, Raj Thirandas and others.
