Thalapthy is No 2 Pan Indian actor / LYCA still Empuran Producer / Blast Mohan - Prasanna in Ajith film
Ormax a leading agency list of top Pan Indian stars has raised many doubts as Prabhas is at no 1 and Thalapathy Vijay at No 2. Prabhas had no release in last one year and has no upcoming film coming in next six months. Vijay popularity is restricted to Tamil market and in the South, it is limited. What makes it jarring is that Allu Arjun comes third and the run of the film Pushpa 2 across India is much ahead of the above two actors.
We can accept SRK at 4th and 5th as the former has not had any new releases and RC gave a Bomb called Game Changer. Next comes the shocker . Mahesh Babu is at 6th and Ajith Kumar at7th. So where is NTR Jr ? He is on 8th. Then we have two mega duds Akshay and Salman in last two. Out of this 10, five are from Tollywood and two from Kollywood and rest from Bollywood. So has KGF Yash lost his Pan India status ?. Looks like Toxic will have a tough road ahead.
Two major revelations and one misconception. First misconception was that Lyca has been thrown out of the film Empuran and we too said that they are no more than a Tamil Nadu distributor. Trailor says Lyca is Presenter of Empuran. Not only that Lyca is negotiating release of Indian 3 and has begun talks between Kamal – Shankar and Red Giant to get any early release. Also there is no hurdle to Vijay’s son’s Jason’s directorial venture.
Along with the online release, the Empuraan trailer will also be launched on the IMAX screen in Mumbai. The official launch of the Empuraan trailer will be held in Mumbai on March 20. Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrior, and Indrajith Sukumaran will also be a part of this grand event. Gokulam Gopalan and Anthony Perambavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas will also be in attendance..
Two revelations ; Blast Mohan of Jailer aka Actor Sunil and Prasanna are part of Good Bad and Ugly.
Next is that Mira Jasmine is also part of Nayanthara- Madhavan- Siddharth film Test releasing on OTT.
Telugu film Court and Malaylam Ponman a comparision
When Telugu film Court was ready to release, the popular talk was that it is a film that will do well on OTT but not in theatres. Ponman of Basil Joseph made at Rs 3.5 crore at the Malayalam box office was said to an OTT film .
Ponman collected Rs 18 crore. After the OTT release, praise if pouring in Instagram from Tamil Nadu for Basil’s PP Ajesh the role of a jewelers agent. Dubbed in Tamil, the monologue about life by Basil in the lodge is trending on social media.
Produced by Nani, Telugu courtroom drama Court: State VS A Nobody mounted on a restricted budget of 10 crore. Starring Priyadarshi Pulikonda, the film has managed to churn out a profit of 7.40 crore already. Nani‘s film has registered a profit of 74% at the box office already! It now needs to earn 2.6 crore more to claim a hit verdict for itself and become the second Tollywood hit film of 2025 after Venkatesh Daggubati’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam. Add to this Rs 8 crore from OTT deal. For Netflix, COURT marks its third consecutive success in Tollywood after Lucky Bhaskar and Daaku Maharaaj, both of which performed exceptionally well and even featured in Netflix’s global non-English Top 10 charts.
