The filmmakers have successfully delivered a standout track that is poised to trend on social media and become a favorite on playlists everywhere. Kanguva directed by blockbuster director Siva, has generated high expectations among fans and audiences. With each promotional material released, anticipation for this big-budget film continues to grow.

The teaser and posters have already captivated viewers with their visual grandeur. Set in the raw and rustic world of “Kanguva,” the film promises a fresh cinematic experience when it releases worldwide in theaters on October 10th, 2024, coinciding with Dussehra.

Bobby Deol plays the antagonist role in the film, while Bollywood’s Disha Patani makes her Tamil debut. “Kanguva” is produced by Studio Green in association with UV Creations and will be released in both 2D and 3D formats.

Prabhas, the pan-India star, is known for his simplicity both on and off-screen. Despite his massive popularity, he maintains a low profile and is rarely seen in the media, except during movie releases. However, when it comes to food, he often surprises his co-stars. The latest reports suggest that Prabhas has taken a pay cut for his upcoming movie, Raja Saab, to support the producers. Let’s dive into the details.

After the blockbuster success of Baahubali, Prabhas has significantly increased his remuneration. It is said that he has crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark for his recent films. For his latest release, Kalki 2898 AD, he reportedly charged a whopping Rs. 150 crore. Setting aside these figures, Prabhas has allegedly taken a slight pay cut for Raja Saab.

Raja Saab is being produced by People’s Media Factory, a production house that previously distributed the Telugu version of Adipurush. During this process, the production house incurred some losses. As a gesture of goodwill, Prabhas has agreed to take only Rs. 100 crore as his remuneration for Raja Saab. Although not officially confirmed, netizens are discussing the authenticity of this news.

Prabhas has an exciting lineup of movies in the coming years. Raja Saab is expected to release this Christmas, followed by Spirit, Salaar 2, and Kalki 2. Based on this schedule, it appears that Prabhas’ diary will be full for the next five years. If all these projects materialize, the Darling hero’s remuneration is likely to cross the Rs. 200 crore mark.

The sci-fi epic “Kalki 2898 AD” has solidified its position as a mega-blockbuster, effortlessly surpassing the coveted 1,000 crore mark at the global box office. Even in its third week of release, the film maintains its impressive performance, consistently outdrawing the recently released pan-Indian film “Indian 2.” Audience reception remains overwhelmingly positive, with the grand visuals, Nag Ashwin’s visionary direction, and stellar acting captivating viewers. Notably, “Kalki 2898 AD” has grossed over 275 crores in the Hindi market alone, surpassing the lifetime Hindi collections of “RRR.”

The film’s expansive visual spectacle, fueled by Ashwin’s imaginative vision and the powerful performances of its cast, has left a lasting impression on audiences. The surprise inclusion of scenes depicting the Mahabharata further enhanced the film’s appeal. With no major releases on the horizon, “Kalki 2898 AD” continues its triumphant run at the box office.

As previously announced, the film concludes with a cliffhanger, setting the stage for a sequel. Fans are already buzzing with anticipation for “Kalki 2,” and the makers have begun filming certain portions.

Adding to the intrigue, director Nag Ashwin recently revealed the lighthearted method used to decide on splitting the story into two parts. He showcased a photograph of a chit marked with the number “2,” jokingly stating it as the “scientific and rational method” employed for the decision. This lighthearted anecdote, involving a significant decision worth hundreds of crores, offered a glimpse into Ashwin’s personality.

Produced by Ashwini Dutt for a staggering budget exceeding 600 crores and featuring music by Santosh Narayanan, “Kalki 2898 AD” has only covered roughly 40% of the story, according to Ashwin. The upcoming sequel promises an even greater dose of drama and action.

The confirmation of a second part leaves fans eagerly speculating about the continuation of the narrative. Prabhas reprises his role as Bhairava, while Amitabh Bachchan returns as Ashwatthama. The film also featured Kamal Haasan as the primary antagonist, Supreme Yashkin, and Deepika Padukone as Sumathi.
