Previously, sequels are considered very unlucky in Tollywood. Many super hit movies like ‘Arya’, ‘Gabbar Singh’, ‘Satya’, ‘Gayam’, ‘Kick’, ‘Chandramukhi’, ‘Money’, ‘Shankar Dada MBBS’ and others had second parts. Interestingly, all of them failed badly at the box office. This made people consider sequels as bad luck in Tollywood.
But SS Rajamouli changed everything with his ‘Baahubali’ franchise. He got record breaking collections with these two films and opened pan-Indian market for Tollywood. Things changed so much that sequels have become a success formula now. Allu Arjun and Sukumar made ‘Pushpa’ which turned out to be a blockbuster. Now, the second instalment is getting made and it is one of the most-awaited projects in Tollywood.
‘HIT’ franchise had two movies already and the third part has already been announced with Nani as the lead. We all know, how big of a success ‘KGF’ and ‘KGF 2’ turned out to be. There were reports that Prasanth Neel planned ‘Salaar’ in two parts. Prasanth Varma is making his own superhero universe. Boyapati Sreenu said that there will be a sequel for ‘Akhanda’. Even Rajamouli said to a foreign interviewer that there are plans for ‘RRR 2’. It looks like every filmmaker and hero are showing a lot of interest in sequels as they are the current trend and yielding success to everyone. Let us wait and see what happens.
