Sardar Gabbar Singh, Pawan Kalyan doesn’t need a star director at the helm to raise expectations over his films. Director Bobby only has an average grossing Power to his credit. So what?

As of now Sardaar is eyeing April 8th and is on schedule to be there on time. Sarainodu, Allu Arjun’s stardom is on an all time high as his movies are able to do good business even with an average talk. His upcoming Sarainodu is one of the most anticipated by the trade as it is directed by Boyapati Srinu who has proved that he has a great grip over the pulse of mass audience. Sarainodu is an interesting film like Nannaku Prematho as this film has the hero who has good following among the family audience and youth, but the director is known for heavy duty mass movies.
Thani Oruvan remake, Ram Charan’s last two films may not have lived up to expectations but that will not bring down the expectations on his next movie. He is one of the superstars of Telugu cinema and his movies will always make a huge buzz. Charan chose to do the remake of Tamil hit Thani Oruvan as his next. This film is yet to start rolling but it will be ready for release by July/August. Surender Reddy who has some solid blockbusters to his credit is going to direct this action thriller. NTR – Koratala Movie, NTR’s next is going to be directed by the latest superstar director Koratala Siva who has made back to back blockbusters in Mirchi and Srimanthudu. Tentatively titled Janata Garage, this film features Malayalam superstar Mohan Lal in a key role. The filming will start in February and the movie is aiming for August 15th release.
Soggade Chinni Nayana, Premam Remake Nagarjuna’s Soggade Chinni Nayana is grabbing eyeballs with colorful teasers. This film is expected to cater to the festive audience for this Pongal. Naga Chaitanya’s Premam remake is one of the most talked about movies. Premam has set all time records in Malayalam cinema and it is expected to hit bull’s eye in Tollywood too. Chaitu has Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo directed by Gautham Menon that is slated for February release. So this is going to be a very interesting year for the young Akkineni. Dictator, Venkatesh-Maruthi Film Balakrishna and Venkatesh may not be as hot as the young superstars but they can spring in surprises now and then. Balayya’s Dictator is coming for Pongal and Venkatesh’s next is being directed by in-form Maruthi whose last film was a Bhale Bhale Blockbuster.
Trivikram’s A Aa Trivikram chose to do a medium budget film with young Nithin when many superstars are waiting for a chance to work under him. A Aa is certainly one of the most anticipated movies just because of Trivikram’s splendid track record. Rajinikanth’s Mahadeva (Kabali), There will be a lot of dubbed movies to compete with straight movies in this year. But any movie pales in comparison to Rajinikanth’s Kabali that is being dubbed in Telugu as Kabali. This movie has the potential to do over 40 crore business prior to release and could be the first dubbed film to do 50 crore business if Rajinikanth does what he is expected to do.
These are only a few to name but there are so many other movies that are either on sets or in the pre production stage at the moment. 2016 is going to be a very interesting year for Telugu cinema as the audiences are in mood for encouraging different ideas. Let’s hope this turns out to be a blockbuster year for Telugu cinema at the box office.
