Producer Dil Raju With Tamil Films To Take On Mythri Movie Makers In Telugu

Hyderabad, December 29 - The Sankranthi 2023 race at the Tamil and Telugu box office is heating up with some of the biggest South Indian superstars coming to take on each other. It will be Thalapathy Vijay's Varisu (12 Jan.) and Ajith Kumar's Thunivu (11 Jan.) at the Tamil box office while megastar Chiranjeevi's Waltair Veerayya (13 Jan.) and Nandamuri Balakrishna's Veera Simha Reddy (12 Jan.) in Telugu. ## The Telugu box office seems to be more complicated this festival season as the aforementioned Telugu films will be facing tough competition with the above-mentioned Tamil blockbuster. Mythri Movie Makers, one of the biggest production houses in Telugu, has produced "Waltair Veerayya" and "Veera Simha Reddy". ## Producer Dil Raju, the powerhouse in the Telugu industry, has produced Thalapathy Vijay's "Varisu" which will also be released in the Telugu language as "Varasudu". This move has already shaken up the Telugu film fraternity as Dil Raju has a huge command over theaters and it is said that he has booked the maximum number of screens for "Varisu" and now, he has thrown another big card to make the box office race intense further. ## It has been confirmed that Dil Raju has acquired the Telugu distribution rights of Ajith Kumar's "Thunivu" which might be worrisome news for Mythri producers who are already facing trouble for not getting enough theaters for their two straight Telugu films. The discussions regarding theater bookings are currently on and the producers might come to a suitable solution but at the moment, it is Mythri that is looking under the pump. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli Reiterates His Dream Project

Hyderabad, December 29 - SS Rajamouli has taken up a task to make grandeur films that appeal beyond boundaries. The maverick filmmaker's recent films - "Baahubali" films and "RRR" made a huge impact on audiences across the world and made Rajamouli arguably the biggest director in India. ## The blockbuster director has time and again spoken about his dream project which is epic Mahabharta. Speaking about the same, Rajamouli had said in one of the interviews earlier this year that he needs to learn more craft to helm this epic, and he has once reiterated that same.## During a recent interview with Deadline, Rajamouli was asked about his dream project. The filmmaker said that he wanted to direct big-scale war films for a long time and with "Baahubali", he achieved that goal, and now, "Mahabharata" is something that he would love to direct someday. ## "For a long time I wanted to do a big-scale war film, but that I have done with Baahubali, so my goal, or my dream, has been fulfilled. So, the biggest one for me would be to direct Mahabharata, the Indian epic. That would probably be a 10-year project. That would be my biggest dream. Hopefully, one day I'll do that", Rajamouli said. ## Mahabharta is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India in Hinduism, the other being the Rāmāyaį¹‡a. It narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pāį¹‡įøava princes and their successors. ## Stay tuned...
