Prabhas-Fronted Two-Part 'Salaar' Will Now Release In 2023?

Hyderabad, January 31 - The covid-19 pandemic is still taking a toll on the Indian film industry as the release dates of the tentpole titles are getting reshuffled again. The entire release calendar (apart from a few films) of the first half of 2022 has been rescheduled. ## Apart from the reshuffling of the release dates this year, there might be a couple of films that may get pushed to the next year. One such film is "Salaar", starring Prabhas. The Kannada - Telugu bilingual movie, directed by Prashanth Neel, was slated to release in April this year. However, the movie is still under production and might take a significant time in the post-production work. ## "Salaar" is being made on a bigger scale and it will reportedly be darker than Yash-starrer "KGF", which is also directed by Neel under the same production house, Hombale Films. Going by the recent reports and strong buzz, "Salaar", just like "KGF", will also be released in two parts, with the first part is now slated for the 2023 release. ## Since the entire 2022 is packed with blockbuster titles, the makers of "Salaar" have reportedly decided to release the first part of the film in 2023. Though there is no official confirmation yet, the big push, however, looks inevitable considering the fact that the movie is yet to be completed, plus, there is hardly any clear release window left in 2022. It is a Pan-India film and will release in multiple languages. ## Prabhas, meanwhile, will still have two releases this year in the form of "Radhe Shyam", and "Adipurush". Directed by Radha Krishan Kumar, "Radhe Shyam" will be released on March 11 after being pushed from January 14. It is a Hindi-Telugu bilingual film that will also release in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. ## "Adiprush", on the other hand, will be released on August 11 as originally scheduled. Directed by Om Raut of "Tanhaji" fame, "Adipurush" is based on the Hindu epic "Ramayana". It is again a Hindi-Telugu bilingual movie that, according to reports, will be released in 15 languages (domestic+international) worldwide on over 20000 screens. It also stars Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, among others in prominent roles. ## Stay tuned...

'Pushpa - The Rise' Hits Century At The Hindi Box Office

Mumbai, January 31 - As far as the box office is concerned, "Pushpa" has lived up to its title, "The Rise", and has done what most of the top Bollywood films have failed to do - to enter Rs. 100 crores net club in Hindi.## The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Manadanna-starrer is all set to become the 95th and perhaps one of the most deserving films to reach a quoted Rs. 100 crores club in Hindi in its 7th week at the box office. The action-thriller, an outright Telugu movie with minimal Hindi promotion, currently stands at Rs. 99.89 crores after the 7th weekend and will cross 100 crores on Monday. ## This box office achievement of "Pushpa - The Rise" has come at a time when most of the trade pundits ruled it out to go big. They seemed to be right after "Pushpa" (Hindi) had an average opening of Rs. 3.33 crores. However, the strong word of mouth and stardom of Allu Arjun has proved the film a long racehorse, which is nothing short of a phenomenal achievement. ## "Pushpa - The Rise's" box office journey has become even more special considering the most challenging fact that it has battled the covid-19 pandemic when there has been a closure of cinemas, restrictions, curbs, and general fear factor among the cine-goers. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa - The Rise" (Hindi) will have at least ten more days of a free run at the box office before Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer "Badhaai Do" arrives on February 11. The reopening of cinemas in Delhi and Harayana will also be beneficial to push its lifetime Hindi total between Rs. 103 crores to Rs. 105 crores. ## Stay tuned...

Makers Set The Bar High For Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule' After Unthinkable Success In Hindi

Mumbai, January 30 - There aren't many South Indian films that have had success in Hindi. Among the few successful films, superstar Allu Arjun's Telugu actioner, "Pushpa - The Rise" is the latest to join the list. ## The Sukumar-directed has done an unthinkable in the Hindi dubbed version at the box office, which is now tempting the makers to set the bar high for its next chapter, titled "Pushpa - The Rule". After what "Pushpa - The Rise" has done in Hindi, the anticipation for the second part is sky high among the fans as well as in trade.## As per the industry sources, the theatrical and post-theatrical rights of "Pushpa - The Rule" are in huge demand. One of the leading studios has reportedly offered a whopping sum of Rs. 300 crores to grab all the rights of "Pushpa 2", mainly because of the success of the Hindi version. However, the makers are reportedly eyeing more. ## The anticipation for "Pushpa 2" is a no hidden thing now and it seems makers are very well aware of it and hence, they want to cash in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is no doubt Allu Arjun is a big star in North India, and "Pushpa - The Rise" has successfully proved that becoming a box office monster.## It is still too early to predict what will be the box office outcome of "Pushpa - The Rule", especially in Hindi, but the way things stand a present, it might repeat the box office success of Prabhas-fronted "Baahubali - The Conclusion". There is another South Indian film, "KGF: Chapter 2", which is eyeing to become a potential blockbuster in Hindi.## "Pushpa - The Rule", however, has no fixed release date yet. Sukumar is currently writing the script for the second part and it has been reported that part 2 will be more dark and thrilling. The writer-director has reportedly added one more villain apart from Fadhad Faasil in part two, which is currently being planned to start production from April 2022. ## Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, and Muttamsetty Media, "Pushpa 2", which also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, might release in early 2023.## Stay tuned...

Having already become a trendsetter film among the masses, this Sukumar directorial has clearly refused to die down at the box office despite the early OTT premiere on Amazon Prime Video. ## There weren't many films in the past that touched Rs. 1 crore single day mark in their 6th week, however, "Pushpa" is proving to be an exception on that front. On the Republic Day holiday, the action thriller witnessed a major jump of nearly 200% at the Hindi box office, by generating approx Rs. 1.55 crores on its 41st day, which is remarkable for every type of film, let alone the dubbed version. ## In the 6th week so far, "Pushpa - The Rise" for the Hindi version has earned approx Rs. 5.50 crores as full week likely to touch Rs. 6 crores.

While the strong word of mouth did its job by attracting the audiences, it was (no competetion) the last thing makers could hope for. With next new release is on February 11 in the form of "Badhaai Do", the Allu Arjun-starrer all the chances to reach the historical box office figure. ## Stay tuned...
