Nithiin and Venky Kudumula Reunite for Action-Adventure “Robinhood”

The successful team of Nithiin and director Venky Kudumula, who collaborated on the hit film “Bheeshma,” are gearing up for another exciting project titled “Robinhood.” Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the production has unveiled a title glimpse and a few posters to pique audience interest.

Nithiin takes on the lead role of a maverick robber who targets the wealthy, stealing money and gold. The film’s narrative remains under wraps, but the title and the makers’ previous work suggest a potentially action-packed and entertaining adventure.

Initially, Rashmika Mandanna was cast as the female lead. However, due to undisclosed reasons, she exited the project. Industry buzz suggests that Raashi Khanna has stepped in to fill the vacancy. This casting choice is particularly noteworthy as Khanna has faced a string of unsuccessful Telugu films recently, and her Hindi venture “Yodha” also underperformed. Her upcoming Tamil horror film “Aranmanai 4” offers a chance to break the streak, and fans are hopeful that “Robinhood” will mark a similar turning point. Notably, Nithiin and Khanna previously co-starred in “Srinivasa Kalyanam,” but the film failed to resonate with audiences.

While initial reports linked actress Sreeleela to the role, the latest news confirms Raashi Khanna’s involvement. The supporting cast boasts familiar names like Vennela Kishore and Rajendra Prasad, adding further weight to the production.

Music for “Robinhood” is composed by the talented GV Prakash Kumar, with Sai Sriram serving as the cinematographer. Prawin Pudi takes on the editing responsibilities. Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar, the film promises to be a high-octane action-adventure with a touch of mystery. With the successful pairing of Nithiin and Venky Kudumula at the helm, “Robinhood” is already generating considerable anticipation among fans.

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.
