S.S.Rajamouli’s magnum opus, ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, is all set to hit the big screen on April 28 and we are sure fans can’t wait to see the film.

As the countdown to the big day begins, the makers have released another character poster from the film – this time, it’s Anushka Shetty in her Devasena avatar.

In the poster, Anushka, who essays Devasena in the film, can be seen sitting on a throne, looking regal in a royal blue saree and heavy jewellery.

In ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, Anushka played a tortured, harassed woman who was held prisoner by Bhallala Deva (played by Rana Daggubati), the cruel, ruthless king of Mahishmati.

What kept her going was the belief that one day her son – Shivadu will come to rescue her. Now, in the sequel, the audience will go back in time and witness the journey of the young Devasena.

Director A R Murugadoss has finally completed writing the climax episode of “Spyder” starring Mahesh Babu.

As GreatAndhra.com reported earlier, Murugadoss came up with a new end for the movie, as earlier climax portion was not satisfactory.

To rewrite the climax episode, he stalled the shoot last week and postponed the movie from June.

The latest update is that he quickly rewrote the penultimate sequence, which reportedly has come out exceptionally well.

Mahesh Babu has given his nod to this newly written sequence. Hence, the final schedule will be commencing from 2nd May.

The team is confident of completing entire shoot by end of May. If everything goes smoothly, the movie may get a July release date.

Tagore Madhu and NV Prasad are producing “Spyder” in Telugu and Tamil languages with a whopping Rs 100 Cr budget.

The film will also be dubbed into Hindi and Malayalam languages. ‘Spyder’ is an action drama in which Mahesh Babu will be seen as a special police officer in Anti-Terrorism squad.

Biopics have always been sensational on Indian screen. Particularly, sport-biopic films like MS Dhoni-The Untold Story, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Dangal, Mary Kom were humongous at the box-office. Even, a biopic on Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is about to release in few weeks, while Tollywood filmmaker Praveen Sattaru is working on Pullela Gopichand’s life story.

And the latest one to join that league is badminton star player Saina Nehwal, whose story is getting an onscreen adaption soon. Winner of bronze medal at 2012 London Olympics, Saina is one of the star players from Hyderabad – even before PV Sindhu.

So, who’s playing Saina’s role? – According to Bollywood film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Shraddha Kapoor is being considered for the lead role. The actress is now part of Haseena, a biopic on Dawood Ibrahim’s sister.

To be directed by Amole Gupta, the film titled ‘Saina’ will be bank-rolled by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.

Not just a fifty or slightly more crores, but it’s nearly 700 crores. That’s the amount “Baahubali: The Conclusion” should collect from box office to push every distributor to safe shores. And the film is going to release in a big way this Friday that this number is just a figure for it if all goes well.

Touted to be one of the biggest releases in India, even beating the likes of Salman Khan’s film release, Baahubali 2 is releasing in nearly 8000 screens across India. Releasing in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and many states in the North, the film is getting a massive release in single screens and multiplexes. Coming to pre-release business, the film got sold for 120+ crores in Telugu states alone, while including rest of all the territories local and global it made 350+ crores business. To recover this money, the film should collect nearly 700 crores gross from theatres.

Quick Math:

If ticket of Baahubali 2 is priced at an average of ₹ 200, then nearly 3.5+ crore people should watch the movie to collect 700 crores. If all the 8000+ theatres that are screening the movie register a single houseful show, it will be 24 lakh people watching. Per day, on an average, if 4 shows are screened, then 96 lakh people will watch the film. So if all the 8000 screens register 4-day total housefuls then 3.5+ crore people are likely to watch the film, making Baahubali 2 touch the targeted amount of 700 crores. Maybe say, 1 week is enough for the film to recover the investment, even if in case there are some drops here and there.

Hope the gamble starts on a good note and spreads happiness among all the parties involved. The key lies in Baahubali 2 getting a blockbuster talk on First Day from First Show and thereafter should register all housefuls.

PS: Some trade pundits say, screen count varies from 6000-9000 and final numbers will be known just a day before release.

Last year when the film “Kshanam” has released at the box office, it’s definitely a sensation. Not for the movie’s content and the way it turned a blockbuster, but the way it has given a ‘hit status’ to those cast and crew suffering from flops.

At the time of film’s release, hero Adivi Sesh and heroine Adah Sharma are in dire need of a hit, so is producer PVP. Also, Anasuya is also in need of a film to showcase her potential while newcomer director anyway needs a hit. And all these guys have succeeded in successfully getting a success at box office.

Cut to now, one such project that is being discussed is “Fashion Designer S/o Ladies Tailor”. As the film happens to be a sequel to a super hit yesteryear film, there is a huge expectation from it. Now, look at the people who has to get a break with this film. Both director Vamsy and composer Mani Sharma enjoyed the peak of their fame sometime back and they need a second break now. But for hero Sumanth Ashwin, heroines Anisha Ambrose and Manali Rathod, there is no single blockbuster to their name till date and badly need one.

While a couple of songs of this latest Ladies Tailor look promising, the real buzz should start once the trailer releases. Then only this small-budgeted film make it big for itself and others involved. We hear that the makers have cut a slick trailer that impresses audiences, so wait for it to find out if it becomes another Kshanam or not.

Tamannah Bhatia, part of lead cast in Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali, is the only one missing from extensive promotions of the film, that is all set to hit screens on 28th April.

At the time when Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka, director Rajamouli and producer Shobu are busy endorsing the movie worldwide, it can be seen that milky white beauty has been missing it for some reasons. So, why isn’t she part of ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ promotions?

Is it because the actress doesn’t exactly feature in a prominent role like Anushka?

Although producers and Tamannah are tight lipped over why she is confined to one or two interviews and press meets, rumors has it that the negative response for her role in first part-that was largely discussed-has prompted them (makers) to keep her off from promotions. And also, it is unclear whether she is overlapped with other assignments and busy in filming for upcoming projects.

As per the film’s storyline, Anushka Shetty has got a larger role to do in the second installment and her presence is certain in promotional events. Given Tamannah’s absence in promotions, Sweety apparently is hogging all the limelight of marketing campaign.

Bollywood director and star actor Farhan Akhtar’s marriage relation with his wife and hairstylist Adhuna Babani has come to an end legally. The Mumbai court officially granted divorce to the celebrities who approached the court last year.

The court Judge MM Thakare pronounced judgment that the two children Shakya and Akira will remain with Adhuna and Farhan will have full access to their kids any time.

The two celebrities were married in 2000 and announced their separation in October 2016. Farhan and Adhuna have been staying separate with mutual agreement. However, the reason behind their divorce was still not known to anybody.

Farhan Aktar made his debut as film Director from Dil Chahata Hai Hindi film. He got critical acclaim for his acting in Bhaag Milkhaa Bhaag.

This picture of Baahubali team is turning many heads and grabbing the eyeballs for one major reason – Anushka Shetty and Prabhas. Draped in bluish-green Saree Anushka looked Achcha Telugu Ammayi (Chaste Telugu girl) whereas Darling Prabhas looked macho, uber-cool in black casual outfit. The ‘Mirchi’ couple is looking perfect.

The team is presently in Dubai to promote this year’s most awaited film Baahubali : The Conclusion, second part to Baahubali: The Beginning. As the film is releasing on April 28 globally even in the places that no other Telugu film has ever released such as Europe’s biggest theatre in France called The Grand Rex Cinema. (Baahubali 1 was released in The Grand Rex Cinema followed by Kabali. And now Baahubali 2 is going to be premiered)

As the film is only three days away from the release, the fever has gripped the movie buffs. The unit will be back to India from Dubai by 27th and will take part in the premieres in India. Looks like, the makers are leaving no leaf unturned.
