Jigarthanda Double x a flop - Kamal poll plan- Dulquer with Balayya - Anpama joins Jeyam Ravi


 

According to trade circles, Jigarthanda Double x is a flop and will not recover the cost from India collections. The overseas distributor Ahimsa had made a profit. After Diwali , the film saw 57 % drop and after 7 days the collection was Rs 30 crores. One reason is that rains lashed major centers in Tamil Nadu. The word of mouth publicity was exactly opposite of the media that praised the film.  Even Rajinikanth public praise has not helped. The budget of the film at Rs 100 cr was unrealistic and with Lawrence and S J Suryah in the lead it was a big gamble. Karthik Subburaj as director was missing from theatres and his two films Jagame Thanthiram and Maahan released on OTT were disasters. The second week has World Cup semi and Finals. Five Star Kathiresan and Ivenio Origin a Dubai based company had funded Karthik’s Stone Bench films. Red Giant were the distributors. Ajith's Viswasam and Dhanusg 3 has been re-released as the Diwali films have crashed.

Kamal Haasan will join Thug Life only after The May 2024 Lok Sabha elections according to sources close to the production House Madrs Talkies. In coming four months, he will complete H Vinoth film and release before the official Election Commission announcement. As he is going contest in alliance with DMK, any film featuring him cannot be released after poll date is made by EC. Unconfirmed reports say that the film deals with exploitation of farmers.



Two Malayali heroines Keerthy Suresh and Anupama Parameswaran playing leading ladies in Jeyam Ravi’s Siren directed by Antony Bhagyaraj. He co-wrote Rajini’s Annatthe, Ajith’s Viswasam and Sivakarthikeyan Hero. Keerthy plays a cop and Anupama who came on board plays what ?. Anupama is a established heroine in Tollywood.

Dulquer is soon to join Balakrishna for the Bobby directorial. The Kerala Superstar is currently working in a Telugu film Lucky Bhaskar. Dulquer is not doing a cameo but a full-fledged role, Balayya with three blockbuster hits in a row is the box office favourite. Dulquer is part of Kamal – Mani film. Due to his other languages commitments, Salmaan had to drop out of Tinu Pappachan film. Now Nivin Pauly is brought in.
