It’s Prabhas Vs Mahesh Clash At The Box office!
Pan-Indian hero Prabhas and his team of ‘Project K’ have announced long back that their magnum opus will be hitting the screens on 12th January 2024. Despite the delay in shooting due to Amitabh Bachchan’s injury, the team is confident about the movie’s release on time. Deepika Padukone is the heroine while Nag Ashwin is making his huge sci-fi action thriller under Ashwini Dutt’s production.
Interestingly, superstar Mahesh Babu has announced that he will be arriving in theatres on 13th January 2024. The makers of #SSMB28 have released a mass poster and announced the release date. This confirmed that Mahesh and Prabhas will be at loggerheads during the upcoming Pongal season. There is a talk that even Ram Charan’s ‘Game Changer’ is eyeing at the same festive season but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Considering the current situation, Prabhas has a huge market across the country where as Mahesh is yet to arrive with a pan-Indian film. One would expect Prabhas to dominate the festive season but it is quite important for Prabhas is have a solo release as ‘Project K’ is being made on a massive budget of 500 crores. It is an experimental movie with a time travelling backdrop. Having a competition with Mahesh Babu might not be very beneficial for ‘Project K’ team.
As we know, both ‘Game Changer’ and ‘#SSMB28’ are mainstream commercial films with good content which makes them safe ventures if things go right. But films like ‘Project K’ need a lot of things to go in their favour and competing with star heroes is not at all advisable. Also, Prabhas is in dire need of a hit as his last two pan-Indian films ended up being disasters. His ‘Adipurush’ has a lot of negativity around it and his only hopes are ‘Salaar’ and ‘Project K’. Let us wait and see if any of these biggies decide to drop out of the Sankranti race or go ahead.

Prakash Raj Indirectly Says What Rahul Said On Modi!
The alleged comments made by Rahul Gandhi back in 2019 came back to haunt him. Holding him guilty for the comments he made, a court convicted him and granted him two years of jail term. Shortly, the Parliament declared Rahul Gandhi disqualified and issued a press release saying the same.
Rahul Gandhi attacked Nirav Modi, and Lalit Modi and asked why the thieves in India have the common name of Modi. He also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Blaming one entire community for a few made the Modi community hurt and an MLA moved the court.
When so much is going on about the comments Rahul Gandhi said, actor-politician Prakash Raj supported him. With a post, he indirectly said what Rahul Gandhi said. Prakash Raj asked what Rahul Gandhi said with a simple picture. His tweet created a sensation.
Sharing the picture of Lalit Modi, Nirav Modi, and Narendra Modi, Prakash Raj asked what is common between them. Though there is no information on why the actor-politician shared the picture, many say that he might have shared it to extend his support.
After coming to power, Narendra Modi started facing criticism that his government is not acting strongly against the fugitive businessmen and not taking strict action. On top of this, the government is writing off loans given to big businessmen.
BJP came to power with the promise of fighting the black money. But the fugitive businessmen Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi were not arrested yet. Rahul Gandhi might have pointed out that.
