Pawan Kalyan's OG 2 To Undergo Major Creative Changes

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 22 - In a major update, powerstar Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited sequel They Call Him OG 2 has been confirmed and is likely to go on floors sooner than expected. The sequel was confirmed after the almost 300 crore worldwide success of the first film; however, the uncertainty over the second instalment was looming large due to PK's busy political schedules. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the latest Telugu media reports, OG might start rolling by this year itself if all goes well; however, not before major production changes. Despite the impressive box office numbers, the film failed to meet the massive targets the makers had hoped for due to its high production and distribution costs. Now, reports indicate that OG 2 will be produced by Pawan Kalyan in association with People Media Factory, replacing the original production setup led by DVV Entertainments. The development is said to come after alleged disagreements between director Sujeeth and producer DVV Danayya over budget overruns during the making of OG. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Reports claim that director Sujeeth had initially planned to begin work on OG 2 after completing Nani's Bloody Romeo. However, with delays surrounding the actor's The Paradise, the director is now reportedly expected to prioritise the sequel first. Interestingly, Pawan Kalyan is also said to be actively participating in script discussions for OG 2. The makers had earlier hinted at expanding the OG Universe with future sequels and prequels, and the actor's direct involvement could play a crucial role in shaping the franchise moving forward. With Pawan Kalyan potentially taking charge as producer, industry insiders believe the sequel could benefit from tighter creative control and smoother production planning. An official announcement regarding the complete cast, crew, and shooting schedule is expected soon.

Samantha's Maa Inti Bangaaram Heads For An Excellent Weekend After Solid Opening Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 20 - Samantha Ruth Prabhu's big screen comeback delivers one of the best openings for her after action comedy drama Maa Inti Bangaaram scored an excellent start at the worldwide box office, surpassing expectations by a solid margin. The film opened to encouraging occupancy across key domestic markets and overseas territories, setting the stage for an excellent first weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Released amid decent expectations, the family entertainer benefited from positive word-of-mouth, especially among family audiences and Samantha fans. In India, MIB took the opening of 6.25 crores gross, including around 4.75 crores gross in Telugu states. This is an excellent start for a female-led South Indian film, showcasing the star power Samantha carries. While the domestic opening was impressive, MIB put up an equally strong show at the overseas box office, with at least around 6.50+ crores gross, for the worldwide opening of around 12.75 crores gross. North America, as expected, was the biggest overseas market for the film while it also registered promising opening-day numbers in other territories, helping the worldwide total climb significantly. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The movie is now well-positioned to post a strong weekend haul if the momentum continues. In fact, Day 2 has opened strongly at the domestic box office, hinting that word of mouth is working wonders as the movie is heading towards a massive opening weekend at the Indian and worldwide box office. With the weekend now underway, Maa Inti Bangaaram is expected to witness further growth, especially in Telugu-speaking regions where family audiences traditionally drive strong Saturday and Sunday collections. If the trend continues, the film could emerge as one of the most notable successes in Samantha's recent career.

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 18 - Tollywood star Venkatesh Daggubati is gearing up for an exciting lineup over the next year, with his upcoming collaborations with director Trivikram Srinivas and hitmaker Anil Ravipudi now reportedly locking their release dates. Venkatesh’s much-anticipated family entertainer with Trivikram Srinivas, tentatively titled Aadarsha Kutumbam House No. 47, is reportedly hitting theatres on October 2, 2026, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. The film has already generated strong buzz among fans, especially after reports suggested that the makers recently wrapped up the climax shoot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The project marks the first full-fledged collaboration between Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas, a combination Telugu audiences have wanted to see for years. Industry circles expect the film to blend Trivikram's trademark emotional storytelling with Venkatesh's strong family-entertainer appeal. Meanwhile, Venkatesh's next collaboration with Anil Ravipudi, tentatively titled #VenkyAnil5 or #NKRAR2, has officially been luanched with shoot is expected to begin soon. The makers have also locked its theatrical release window. The untitled multi-starrer, which also features Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty, is slated to release on January 12, 2027, during the Sankranthi festive week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film is especially significant because it marks the fifth collaboration between Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi. Their earlier projects delivered impressive commercial success and established a strong rapport with family audiences. Music composer G. V.

Producer Naga Vamsi had earlier confirmed that Trivikram Srinivas had lined up projects with both Venkatesh and Jr NTR, ending months of speculation surrounding the director's future films.

Peddi Team Includes 6 Minutes of Additional Footage In Cinemas; But Will The Gimmick Work?

BY SACNILK

Hyderabad, June 18 - Superstar Ram Charan's Peddi is already in its second week in theatres, and the film's overall reception has been noticeably mixed despite the massive pre-release hype surrounding it. While the movie opened strongly on the back of star power and aggressive promotions, the momentum appears to have slowed after the initial weekend as audience reactions became more divided. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, considering the fading momentum at the box office, the makers have announced additional footage which will be attached to the already existing runtime from today (June 18). The movie is already nearing the end of its second week, and it has been in the unwanted controversy amid the mixed box office results. Newly inserted scenes are reportedly intended to enhance emotional depth and strengthen certain character arcs, based on audience feedback. The move once again highlights a familiar trend in Telugu cinema. Whenever a film fails to meet the industry's towering expectations, filmmakers often turn to post-release additions such as extended scenes, restored deleted footage, or modified edits in an attempt to revive audience interest. These revised versions are usually marketed as "improved cuts," creating fresh discussion around the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, past results show that such gimmicks rarely make any significant impact on a movie's long-term box office prospects. In today's social media era, audience verdicts are formed within the first few days itself. Once word-of-mouth settles, changing public perception becomes extremely difficult. At best, additional footage may generate temporary curiosity among hardcore fans, but it seldom changes the overall theatrical fate of a film. In the case of Peddi, the six added minutes may slightly improve the viewing experience for audiences still watching the film in theatres. But expecting the additional runtime to dramatically alter the film's commercial trajectory may be unrealistic. Ultimately, a film's success depends on strong storytelling and emotional connection — not on post-release patchwork designed to manage perception after the first week. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has already grossed around 320 crores worldwide in 14 days, which is otherwise a decent performance, thanks to a good performance in the Telugu states. However, the film needs to score way more than this worldwide to emerge as a clean box office hit, which is looking tough at this moment. After the initial rush, the box office momentum is slowing down, and if the additional footage also fails to improve buzz, the movie may be heading to an average affair.

Peddi Box Office: Overtakes Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu in North America; Becomes Highest Telugu Grosser of 2026

BY SACNILK

While Peddi has managed to cross the $3.4 million mark in North America after 13 days, the numbers tell a story of underperformance when placed against its high stakes. On the surface, surpassing the $3.38 million lifetime gross of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and becoming the top Telugu grosser of 2026 in this territory looks like a milestone. However, when we look at the actual economics, the film is struggling to justify its massive pre-release valuation in the overseas market. The North America breakeven target for this Ram Charan starrer was set at a staggering $6.5 million, which is roughly ₹62.22 crore. This was the highest target ever set for his solo lead films in this region, setting a very high bar for success. With the film currently trending toward an expected closing gross of approximately $3.50 million, it is clear that Peddi will fall significantly short of its recovery goal. Despite the top-ranking status for the current year, the wide gap between the target and the actual collection marks the film as a box office failure in the overseas circuit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The films current performance has allowed it to overtake the lifetime collections of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which earned $3.38 million in the region. Reaching this total in less than two weeks shows a strong connection with the NRI audience and reflects the steady interest the film has maintained since its release. It is currently sitting at $3.42 million and is continuing to add to its tally as it nears the end of its second week. When looking at the all-time list of Telugu grossers in this market, Peddi has now entered the top tier. It is currently placed at the 12th spot, having moved past films like Bharat Ane Nenu and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The film is now chasing the numbers set by Rangasthalam, which is the next target on the list.

Peddi Box Office: Becomes the 9th movie to achieve the 200 Crore Telugu Net milestone

BY SACNILK

Peddi is heading toward the end of its second week at the box office. On its fourteenth day, the film collected a gross of ₹2.83 crore across India. When we look at the previous day, where it earned ₹3.96 crore gross, there is a clear downward movement as the film nears the end of its second week. Most of the revenue continues to come from the Telugu states, but the drop indicates that the initial frenzy is now stabilizing into a steady run. Breaking down the state-wise gross for Day 14, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions contributed ₹2.10 crore. Other territories followed with Karnataka at ₹0.25 crore, Tamil Nadu at ₹0.08 crore, and the Rest of India bringing in ₹0.40 crore. Comparing these to Day 13, where APTG stood at ₹2.80 crore and the Rest of India was at ₹0.71 crore, it is evident that the Hindi and other language markets are seeing a steeper decline than the home market. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In terms of screen presence and viewer interest, Peddi held approximately 3,800 shows across India on Wednesday with an overall occupancy of 17 percent. In major hubs like Hyderabad, the Telugu version maintained a decent 17.3 percent occupancy from 379 shows. Meanwhile, the Hindi version in the National Capital Region saw 9.8 percent occupancy across 89 shows, and Surat recorded a lower 3.8 percent. These numbers reflect a film that is performing well in its primary market while finding it tougher to sustain momentum in the North. The total India net collection of ₹226 crore shows a heavy reliance on the Telugu version, which has contributed ₹200.48 crore. The Hindi dub has performed decently with ₹21.57 crore so far. Contributions from other languages include ₹1.96 crore from the Tamil version, ₹1.69 crore from Kannada, and ₹0.30 crore from Malayalam. These figures clarify that while the film has made an impact across multiple markets, its core strength remains the Telugu audience. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The ticket sales on BookMyShow also tell a similar story. After selling 43.03K tickets on its second Tuesday, the count moved to 27.71K on the second Wednesday. This brings the total tickets sold on the platform to 3,709,770. This consistent interest has helped the film cross a significant milestone in its home language, officially entering the 200 crore net club in Telugu alone. Looking at the performance in national multiplex chains, Peddi sold nearly 2,800 tickets across PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis on Wednesday. This resulted in a total gross of approximately ₹7 lakh from 780 shows. Among the chains, INOX contributed the most with 1,400 tickets sold and a gross of ₹3 lakh. PVR and Cinepolis followed with 770 and 660 tickets respectively, each adding about ₹2 lakh to the tally. With an overall occupancy of 2 percent in these urban centers, it is clear that the films current momentum is largely driven by single screens and regional circuits. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the international front, the film added ₹0.25 crore on Day 14. According to data from Venky Box Office, the North America total has reached $3.42 million after a $66K Tuesday. Based on early estimates, the total overseas gross now stands at ₹52.45 crore. When combined with the India gross of ₹268 crore, the worldwide gross collection for Peddi reaches an estimated ₹320 crore, while the total India net collection currently sits at ₹226 crore.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Maa Inti Bangaaram Tops $150K Advance Booking In North America

BY SACNILK

Los Angeles, June 17 - Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is once again proving her box office strength as her much-awaited comeback film Maa Inti Bangaaram is roaring in the advance booking in North America. The action comedy has crossed the $150K mark in pre-sales collection across North America ahead of its theatrical release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has reportedly sold tickets worth over $150,000 in the region, reflecting strong pre-release buzz and Samantha’s solid overseas fan following. The advance booking trend has created positive momentum for the Telugu drama, making it one of the most anticipated Indian releases in North America this week. Directed by BV Nandini Reddy, Maa Inti Bangaaram marks Samantha's return to the big screen after a brief break from acting. The film has already generated significant curiosity among audiences due to its promotional material and reports surrounding Samantha's action-driven role. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade analysts believe the film could target an opening weekend close to $1 million in North America if early audience reports turn positive. Additionally, industry insiders feel the lifetime collection could stretch toward the $2 million mark with sustained word of mouth, which would be a major achievement for a female-led Telugu film overseas. The strong pre-sales numbers also underline Samantha's consistent popularity despite changing market trends in Telugu cinema. Films like Oh Baby and Yashoda previously showcased her ability to headline content-driven projects successfully, and Maa Inti Bangaaram appears to be continuing that trend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from the overseas response, the film is also witnessing encouraging bookings in Telugu states, with several early shows reportedly filling up quickly. The combination of Samantha's star power, positive pre-release buzz, and audience curiosity has significantly boosted expectations surrounding the project. Maa Inti Bangaaram is scheduled for release on June 19, 2026.

Peddi Overseas Box Office: Inches From All-Time Top 10 Milestone But Over A 25 Crore Loss Looms Large

BY SACNILK

Peddi has reached an overseas gross of 52.20 crore after thirteen days in theaters. This total puts the film within reach of the all-time top ten list for Telugu cinema in international markets. Currently, Hanu-Man occupies the tenth spot with 57 crore, meaning Peddi requires a little under 5 crore to surpass that mark and enter the rankings. While the film is approaching this milestone, the current daily numbers suggest it will take some time to bridge the remaining gap. Here is how the top ten list currently looks for the highest-grossing Telugu movies overseas: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 371.16 Cr RRR - 314.15 Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 275.00 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 271.00 Cr Baahubali: The Beginning - 134.00 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 130.00 Cr Saaho - 92.00 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 77.00 Cr They Call Him OG - 65.25 Cr Hanu-Man - 57.00 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite being close to the top ten, the financial outlook for the film is quite complicated. According to reports from Venky Box Office, the film recorded 13,000 dollars [~₹11 Lakh] this past Monday in North America, bringing its total in that region to 3.35 million dollars [~₹28.14 Crore]. The trade perspective on this is quite sobering; the closing number is likely to settle near what was originally expected from the opening day alone. It is a significant shock for the industry, especially considering the initial high expectations, and it suggests a need for a market correction regarding the buying prices of overseas rights. The total overseas breakeven target for Peddi was estimated to be around 85 crore. With the current momentum, it appears the film will end its run with a loss of approximately 25 to 30 crore. The North American market alone had a breakeven goal of 6.5 million dollars [~₹54.60 Crore] across all languages, but reaching that target seems highly unlikely at the current daily pace. This gap between the target and the actual performance highlights the challenges big-budget projects face in sustaining interest beyond the first weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If we examine the day-wise overseas collections, the slowing momentum becomes very clear. The film had a strong start with 28 crore on its first day, but the numbers began to drop significantly after the first weekend. For the last few days, the daily collection has settled into the range of 0.35 crore. You can see the daily progression in the table below: Peddi - Daily Overseas Gross Collection(Estimated Data)DAYOVERSEAS GROSSDay 1₹ 28.00 CrDay 2₹ 6.00 CrDay 3₹ 8.00 CrDay 4₹ 4.00 CrDay 5₹ 1.00 CrDay 6₹ 1.00 CrDay 7₹ 0.80 CrDay 8₹ 0.70 CrDay 9₹ 0.50 CrDay 10₹ 0.80 CrDay 11₹ 0.70 CrDay 12₹ 0.35 CrDay 13₹ 0.35 Cr While the goal of entering the top ten is within reach, the underlying business reality is that the film is underperforming relative to its high acquisition costs. The next few days will determine if it can cross the 57 crore mark to secure its place in the all-time list, even if it does so as a loss-making venture for its distributors.

Peddi, On its thirteenth day, recorded a gross collection of 3.96 crore across India. When we compare this to the 4.73 crore gross it earned on Monday, it indicates a drop of roughly 16.2 percent. However, we are starting to see the momentum visibly slow down now. While a drop on a working Tuesday is expected, this cooling trend suggests the long-term legs of the film might be under pressure, which isn't the best sign for its extended theatrical run.It is also clear that the movie is maintaining a steady grip on the domestic market without any sudden collapse in numbers. If we look into the language-wise performance, the Telugu version remains the primary driver. It contributed 2.75 crore on day 13 with an occupancy rate of 23 percent. Meanwhile, the Hindi version brought in 0.60 crore. Interestingly, the occupancy in certain regions tells a localized story. While Hyderabad saw nearly 20 percent occupancy across 404 shows, Vizag-Visakhapatnam stood out with a much stronger 38.8 percent. Even the National Capital Region for the Hindi version held up well with 21.5 percent occupancy, showing that the film still has a pulse in major urban centers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the gross figures, the day 13 gross stands at 3.96 crore. The lion's share came from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with 2.80 crore. Karnataka added 0.35 crore, while the rest of India contributed 0.71 crore. This brings the total India gross to 264.92 crore. On the net side, the total domestic collection has reached 223.55 crore after two weeks of theatrical run across over 91,000 shows. One of the biggest achievements for Peddi is its climb up the all-time charts in the Telugu states. With a total gross of 201.45 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film has officially broken into the top ten list. It has surpassed Sankranthiki Vasthunam to take the ninth spot. Here is a look at how the leaderboard currently stands for the highest-grossing films in that region: RRR - 406.82 Cr Pushpa 2: The Rule - 330.63 Cr Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 327+ Cr Kalki 2898 AD - 277.70 Cr Devara: Part 1 - 225.80 Cr Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu - 225.02 Cr Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire - 215.20 Cr They Call Him OG - 201.50 Cr Peddi - 201.45 Cr Sankranthiki Vasthunam - 196.44 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the global front, early estimates for overseas collections on day 13 sit at around 0.35 crore. This brings the total overseas gross to 52.20 crore. When we combine the final domestic gross with these early international estimates, the worldwide gross for Peddi reaches approximately 317.12 crore. This total is supported by massive audience engagement, with BookMyShow reporting over 43,000 tickets sold on Tuesday alone, bringing the platform’s total to over 3.68 million tickets since its release. If we look specifically at the performance within national chains for day 13, the numbers show a settling trend. In PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, the film sold a total of 5,100 tickets, generating a gross of 8.55 lakh. PVR led this segment with 2,232 tickets, followed closely by Inox with 2,112. The overall occupancy in these chains stood at 3.40 percent across 745 shows. While these figures represent the standard cooling of a big-budget project in its second week, they emphasize that the majority of the film's weight is being carried by single screens and regional circuits rather than the major urban chains.

Peddi has entered its second Monday with expected stability, following a strong performance over its second weekend. The film earned a gross collection of ₹4.73 crore on Day 12, marking a 55.8% drop from the previous day's gross collection of ₹10.70 crore. This is a standard trend for big-ticket films on a second Monday after a heavy weekend run. With 4,164 shows currently running across India, the film has reached a total India gross collection of ₹260.96 crore and a net collection of ₹220.10 crore.
