RRR postponement fall out - Will Valimai fill the vacuum ?

 

RRR postponement  news has created  many repercussions in the trade especially in South India.  In USA, thousands of tickets sold has to be refunded. Producers of Telugu films who shifted their releases due to request from RRR producer and director feel that they were left and high and dry and are now scrambling to fill the vacuum. All eyes are on Madurai Anbu as to whether he would advance the release date and fill it with Valimai on Jan 7th.

Close to Rs 20 crores was spent on promotions in all South States and Mumbai. This is a washout. Distributors who bought the film in the South are unhappy as the decision was taken after listening to North distributor Gada. They feel that with 50% occupancy they could have recovered the money within a week ( Jan 7- Jan 13) after which Ajith's Valimai is released. In TamilNadu there is no strict compliance of 50 % slab in single screens a majority in the State.

AP Government allowed theaters that were closed to reopen with certain riders. Telangana had permitted hike in ticket rates. Producers of Telugu films Bheemla Nayak to F3 and Sarkaru Vaari Paata which has only AP./ TS markets  as primary source of income feel that they should not have backed out. Now efforts are on to see if any one of these can come on Jan 7. Two of these films have pending work and did not complete it as release was postponed. If none of these comes, Bangarraju of Nagarjuna- Nag Chaitanya is ready to hit the theaters. It would be a big let down for Telugu film trade this Sankaranthi.. No news has come from radhe Shyam producers yet. It is to open in South and North markets on Jan 14th.

Due to massive expectation for RRR in USA markets, other regions with Indian population , ticket sales has touched $3 million and still is going on. Two type of prints for USA was planned.- one the usual Dolby version and another for select theaters using  a different equipment to screen. Sarigama Cinemas and Raftar Creations are releasing the movie in the United States. The bookings in the United States will begin from December 17th, three weeks before the release of the film. They had booked the advertising space at the famous Times Square in New York City from December 17th to 23rd to extensively promote the film. This is the first time a Telugu movie was advertised at the Times Square for so long. US distributors might have to refund close to Rs 10 crores, says a distributor.

Thala Ajith Valimai producer upset over Rajamouli's film release date

 

Producer Boney Kapoor who is producing Ajith's Valimai in Tamil is upset with Bahubali director S S Rajamouli unilaterally announcing the release date of Telugu- Hindi  film RRR with NTR Jr and Ram Charan.. RRR is officially to release on October 13th and it was the same day that Kapoor had planned to  release Maidan in Hindi with Ajay Devgan. Ajay plays an antagonist in RRR. Kapoor had made the announcement of the release date at the time of Maidan puja.

Kapoor is currently remaking Hindi film PINK with Pawan Kalyan as Vakkeel Saab. Kapoor camp says that when Ajay Devgn was booked for RRR, he was told that he should put a clause in the agreement that the release date would not be fixed without the consent of the actor. Ajay told Kapoor that there was no legal agreement but only a oral one. Kapoor had also spoken to Rajamouli about the release date. The announcement came as a surprise. “Ajay is aware that his prestigious bio-pic Maidaan on football legend Syed Abdul Rahim was due in the Dussehra week this year. He very specifically told Rajamouli to speak to Boney Kapoor before announcing his release date. But Rajamouli went ahead without consulting Boney.” And now Boney is very very upset.  A source quoting Kapoor said “Of course I am upset! This is most unethical. I announced my release date for Maidaan six months ago. At a time when we should all be coming together to save the movie industry, he (Rajamouli) has gone and done this,” .

On the Valimai front ,the producer has planned a May 1 st release,  It is a birthday gift for Thala fans. Director H Vinoth  shot in Sikkim to match the scenes of bike chase shot abroad. However he wants four days shoot with the foreign action master and his crew - equipment to give a finishing touch. This trip is the major headache for Boney.. Produced by Boney Kapoor, Valimai has been directed by H Vinoth  Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi appears as the female leads opposite Ajith along with senior actress Sumitra, VJ Bani, Karthikeya Gummakonda,.Ajith had to halt the shooting after he got injured on the sets. Valimai was originally scheduled for a November 2020 release.
