Release Date Update On Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule'

Hyderabad, May 12 - The summer of 2023 will get heated up with blockbuster titles making their way to the big screen. Among the films that are expected to set the box office on fire, Allu Arjun's Pan-India sensation, "Pushpa - The Rule" is expected to be the highlight of Summer 2023. ## Directed by Sukumar, the first part of the movie, "Pushpa - The Rise" created mayhem at the Pan-Indian box office and emerged as a massive hit with a worldwide gross collection of 360+ crores. The movie has set the bar high for a mass entertainer. Allu Arjun's mass dialogues and his steps have gone viral on social media and reached international audiences. ## The expectation from "Pushpa 2" are sky high and while the film is expected to go on the floors in June this year, the makers are contemplating making it the big summer blockbuster and eyeing May 2023 release.

Telugu Movie 'F3' Producers Will Not Apply For Ticket Price Hike In AP-TG

Hyderabad, May 12 - For the last few months, the big-budget Telugu movies have been released with ticket price hikes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While this strategy has benefitted films like "RRR" and "KGF Chapter", the same wasn't the case with "Radhe Shyam", and "Acharya". ## The producers of the upcoming Telugu comedy movie, "F3: Fun and Frustration", seem to have learned from the previous movies and have reportedly decided against the ticket price hikes. According to Telangana Today, the "F3" producers have decided to use standard ticket prices.## While the official confirmation is yet to be made, "F3" will be the first big-budget Telugu movie to be released with regular ticket prices ever since the governments allowed prices to hike for movie tickets.## The growing ticket prices have been a topic of discussion within the Indian film fraternity since the last year. The covid-19 pandemic has made the audiences hesitant towards visiting theaters to watch the movies and on top of that, the price hike is also not helping either. The impact of huge ticket rates could be seen in the recent movies that bombed at the box office despite positive reviews from critics. ## Moving back to "F3", if the makers decide to go with old ticket prices, it will surely benefit the makers to generate more footfalls, and if it gets good reactions, then the film could become a family blockbuster just like its preceder. ## Directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations, "F3" movie stars Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannaah, and Mehreen Pirzada reprising their roles from the previous film alongside Sunil and Sonal Chauhan as new additions. It will be released on May 27th worldwide. ## Stay tuned...

For the last few years, Pan-India cinema is becoming a norm, however, Mahesh Babu is still not thinking to take his movies to Pan-India, instead, his aim has always been to make movies from the South a countrywide success.## "I always wanted to do Telugu films and wished people across India would watch it. And now when that is happening I'm very happy. I always had this strong opinion that my strength is Telugu films and the emotion I understand is the Telugu film emotion. Today the emotion is so strong, films have become so big that the lines have blurred and it's become Indian cinema", Mahesh Babu said during the trailer launch event of "Major" in Hyderabad yesterday (via DNA). ## While it is a fact that many South Indian actors are eager to make their Bollywood debut, Mahesh Babu seems to be in a different mood as he shockingly said that Bollywood can't afford him despite him getting big offers from Hindi filmmakers. ## "I may sound arrogant, I did get a lot of offers in Hindi. But I think they can't afford me. I don't want to waste my time. The stardom and love I have here in Telugu cinema, I never thought of going to another industry. I always thought I will do films here and they will become bigger, and my belief is turning into a reality now. I can't be happier", he added. ## Meanwhile, after SVP, Mahesh Babu will next begin shooting for director Trivikram Srinivas' movie. After that, he will join hands with blockbuster director SS Rajamouli for his next much-awaited movie. It will be a Pan-India movie that will also release in Hindi. ## Stay tuned...
