Big heroes competing against each other during the Pongal season is quite common. This is a trend that has been going on for decades. 2023 is going to be no different with Mega and Nandamuri family heroes locking horns with each. It is not the young generation this time but the senior heroes Megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna who are going to fight with each other. Chiru is arriving with ‘Waltair Veerayya’ while Balayya is all set to hi the screens with ‘Veera Simha Reddy’. They both are releasing on 13th and 12th January respectively.
As we know, Mythri Movie Makers banner is bankrolling both these humongous projects. They are doing their best in satisfying all sections of the audience with their promotional strategies. While both these both flicks are hitting the screens with huge expectations, there is star producer Dil Raju who is arriving with the Telugu dubbed version of his Tamil production venture ‘Varisu’. Starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead, ‘Maharshi’ fame Vamsi Paidipally has directed this movie. There is a huge buzz around this movie in Tamil Nadu while Dil Raju’s behaviour is creating a lot of buzz about it in the Telugu states as well.
The star producer has reportedly allotted more number of theatres to his own film ‘Varasudu’ rather than giving them equally to all the three heroes. He is pulling all strings to make sure that ‘Varasudu’ gets the same if not more theatres than ‘Waltair Veerayya’ and ‘Veera Simha Reddy’. A lot of people are objecting this and they don’t want such things to happen as it may lead to unnecessary issues among the industry people as well as the fans.
We are aware that Dil Raju made comments on Vijay’s craze and claimed that more theatres should be given to ‘Varisu’ instead of ‘Thunivu’ since Vijay is bigger than Ajith or any other star hero. He received a lot of heat from the Tamil Thambis due to these but it is Dil Raju who is releasing ‘Thunivu’ and ‘Thegimpu’ in the Telugu states. This means that Raju is arriving this Sankranti season with two movies dubbed from Tamil and he is trying to give them more theatres compared to the original Telugu films. This is expected to turn into a tough and ugly fight. Let us wait and see what happens in the next few coming days.
