This is the time where many big Telugu stars are looking to expand their footprint into other languages. With the success of Saaho at North box office, no doubt, many big heroes are making sure that their Telugu films will not hit the Hindi market as well with a straight release rather selling dubbing rights and remake rights.
While we have biggies like Megastar’s Sye Raa and Rajamouli’s #RRR in the pipeline, other big stars like Allu Arjun and Mahesh are planning to release their movies in Hindi hinterlands. The latest update is that director Anil Ravipudi met Namrata Shirodkar recently as the Superstar’s wife wanted to discuss the Hindi release of the film.
Namrata wants to make sure that the content will be appealing to Bollywood crowds as well when it comes to fights and other sequences. If done as a straight release and the film manages to score well, then Mahesh’s market will expand big time as there are already huge fans for him up there.
Though Mahesh has earlier thought that KGF director’s movie will work out for him as a pan India movie, Namrata is said to have surprised him saying that there is no need to wait till then as Sarileru Neekevvaru itself will serve as proper launchpad. This film is set for January 2020 release in Telugu states.
