Some heroes have some fetishes and always they end up showing that in their movies. For example, Mass Raja Raviteja is a huge fan of Hindi because he has grown up in Mumbai for years and also he is a huge fan of Amitabh Bachhan too. For that reason, he comes up with lots of Big B and Bollywood touch in most of his film.
Even in his latest movie Disco Raja, Raviteja appears as a don in Chennai but a huge fan of vintage disco songs of Bollywood and Amitabh Bachhan. Not only he uses these Hindi songs, but also he speaks Hindi dialogues at times with his villains and others. Despite the fact that Tamilians (at least of the 80s) never loved Hindi or Hindi speaking persons, Raviteja is shown growing as a don in Madras in the 80s quite easily. These logicless character arcs don’t work as audiences are quite intelligent about the facts these days.
Also, the new generation of the audience is not connecting to that Amitabh Bachhan and Bollywood bhajana here. Back then, Raviteja did a similar kind of Bhajana in many movies including Don Seenu and others without understanding the fact the Telugu audiences of the modern day are not even a remote fan of Big B. Maybe the mass star should give up that Bollywood pichhi to make sure that his films work.

Varanasi Faces IMAX Challenge Ahead of 2027 Release
Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is already being regarded as one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2027. Following the global success of RRR, trade experts expect the film to enjoy a phenomenal overseas run. However, one factor that could influence its international box office performance is the competition for IMAX screens.
Unlike many films that undergo IMAX conversion after production, Varanasi is reportedly being designed and filmed specifically to maximize the IMAX format, promising a premium cinematic experience. However, the release window is shaping up to be highly competitive in international markets. Hollywood blockbusters such as Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, scheduled for March 26, 2027, and Panic Carefully, releasing on April 9, 2027, have already secured IMAX releases. More major studio films are also expected to join the calendar, increasing competition for premium large-format screens.
Since IMAX and other premium screens generate a significant share of revenue for event films, limited screen availability in key overseas markets could slightly impact Varanasi’s earning potential. While the film is unlikely to face issues in securing standard screens, the allocation of IMAX screens during its April 7, 2027 release period will be an important factor that the makers will be closely watching.
The situation is equally interesting in India, where the number of genuine IMAX theatres remains limited. Although several multiplexes promote IMAX auditoriums, only a handful offer the complete IMAX experience. This has led to discussions about whether additional IMAX screens, particularly in major cities like Hyderabad, could be introduced before Varanasi reaches theatres. With the film promising a visually spectacular experience, expanding premium-screen infrastructure could benefit both audiences and exhibitors. How the IMAX landscape evolves over the coming months will be crucial in determining the film’s premium-format reach.
