Thalapathy fans upset on next film director choice - Allu Arjun confirmed in SRK film

Vijay's supporters are disappointed with the content of his last movie, Varisu, and believe that its success at the box office was solely due to his star power and the favorable Pongal/Sankranthi period. Despite its financial success, the film failed to satisfy his fanbase. On the other hand, Lokesh's movie, Leo, has done exceptional business in non-theatrical markets, generating revenue of Rs 240Cr, with overseas rights selling for 60Cr+. The film is expected to do more than 100Cr business in Tamil Nadu and has an anticipated ROI of over 50Cr. This means that the overall business of the movie is expected to be around Rs 450Cr, which is outstanding. Vijay's fans were hopeful that he would sign only big-budget movies going forward. However, there are reports suggesting that he has committed to a film with Gopichand Malineni, produced by Mythri movies banner. This news has worried Vijay's fans, as they were anticipating a much bigger combination after such a massive film like Leo. They were hoping for a collaboration between Vijay and Atlee, especially since the latter's Hindi debut film, Jawan with SRK, is expected to be a blockbuster. IMDb has published a list of the "Most Anticipated Indian Movies of the Summer", which are expected to be released in India from May 1 to August 31, 2023. The list features only two Telugu films, namely Teja Sajja's "Hanu Man" and Naga Chaitanya's "Custody". Prabhas' "Adipurush" takes the third position, while Shahrukh Khan's "Jawan" is the most eagerly awaited movie of the summer, according to the website's data, based on the page views of its 200 million monthly visitors worldwide in 2023. ====== Here are the top ten movies on the list, along with their release dates: "Jawan" (June 2), "Animal" (August 11), "Adipurush" (June 16), "Gadar 2" (August 11), "Chatrapathi" (May 12), "Maidaan" (June 23), "Yodha" (July 7), "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani" (July 28), "Hanu Man" (May 12), and "Custody" (May 12). Shah Rukh Khan, who had a record-breaking success with "Pathaan", is returning to the big screen with "Jawan", which also marks the Hindi cinema debut of Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara. "Animal", directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who previously directed "Arjun Reddy", features Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, with Parineeti Chopra, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol playing prominent roles. ----- Allu Arjun has done a half day shoot for SRK Jawan reports an online portal.
