UK wage growth slows to 5.7 per cent: ONS data

0

London, July 18 (IANS) The United Kingdom’s (UK) latest labour market data continued to show signs of cooling, as annual wage growth has slowed to 5.7 per cent, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday.

According to the ONS, average earnings, both excluding and including bonuses, grew at an annual rate of 5.7 percent in March to May 2024. Annual growth in real terms, which was adjusted for inflation, for regular pay was 2.5 per cent, and for total pay was 2.2 per cent.

“Earnings growth in cash terms, while remaining relatively strong, is showing signs of slowing again. However, with inflation falling, in real terms it is at its highest rate in over two and a half years,” said Liz McKeown, Director of Economic Statistics of the ONS.

The annual average regular earnings growth for the public sector remains strong at 6.4 per cent, and for the private sector, this is 5.6 per cent, according to the ONS, Xinhua news agency reported.

UK wage growth is still too hot to handle for the country’s monetary policymakers, the think tank Resolution Foundation noted.

“Rising real wages are good news for workers coming out of the cost-of-living crisis. But the Bank of England will be concerned that because these are not productivity-enhanced pay rises, they could turn out to be inflation-generating ones,” said Greg Thwaites, Research Director at the Resolution Foundation.

“The high-strength pay data, and low-quality jobs data, further complicate plans to cut interest rates,” Thwaites added.

Also on the datasheet, the UK unemployment rate was estimated at 4.4 per cent in the three months to May.

In April to June, the number of job vacancies in the UK decreased by 30,000 on the quarter to 889,000. “The total has now been falling for a full two years, though it remains above pre-pandemic levels,” said McKeown.

The Tumultuous Journey of Pushpa: The Rule

0

The immense popularity of “Pushpa: The Rise” set the stage for a highly anticipated sequel, “Pushpa: The Rule.” However, the return of the enigmatic Pushpa Raj has been plagued by unforeseen obstacles.

Initially scheduled for an Independence Day release on August 15th, 2024, the film’s premiere was unexpectedly pushed back to December 6th. This delay fueled anxieties amongst fans, further amplified by rumors of a disorganized production and artistic disagreements. Whispers of a potential 2025 release emerged, fueled by speculation surrounding Allu Arjun’s changing facial hair and disruptions caused by his personal vacation. Director Sukumar’s trip to the US allegedly stalled progress as well. To add to the confusion, reports surfaced suggesting tension between Arjun and Sukumar.

Producer Naveen promptly dispelled these rumors, emphasizing a December release and a collaborative relationship between the lead actor and director. Nonetheless, questions linger regarding the production process. Reports suggest that Sukumar’s improvisational style resulted in frequent script revisions and extended filming schedules. The construction of elaborate sets, hefty actor fees (including increased remuneration for Devi Sri Prasad and Rashmika Mandanna), and payments to cast members not actively filming further inflated the production budget. While whispers of financial mismanagement persist, the industry remains optimistic about the film’s profitability. “Pushpa: The Rule” undoubtedly holds immense commercial potential, with pre-release sales indicating a strong possibility of recouping the substantial investment.

The December release date remains confirmed, leaving fans in suspense. Will “Pushpa: The Rule” justify the immense hype and deliver a captivating continuation of Pushpa Raj’s narrative, or will the production difficulties translate into a disappointing cinematic experience? Only time will reveal the answer.

Darling: A Potential Box Office Darling Amidst a Drab Week

0

The Telugu film industry is currently undergoing a distinct phase characterized by a pronounced inclination towards either romantic comedies or horror films. Recent successes like ‘Mad’, ‘Tillu Square’, and ‘Virupaksha’ exemplify this trend. With the absence of strong competitors, the comedy ‘Darling’ has emerged as the frontrunner at the box office this week.

The film’s release comes at an opportune moment. Following the blockbuster success of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, a significant void was created in the market. The subsequent commercial failure of ‘Bharatiyadudu 2’ further consolidated ‘Darling’s’ position as the sole major release. While the leading actor, Priyadarshi Pulikonda, might not be a primary box office draw, positive word-of-mouth has the potential to generate significant buzz.

Leveraging this favorable market landscape, the film’s producers have opted for a wide theatrical release, accompanied by special premieres in key cities. The strategy aims to maximize reach and amplify word-of-mouth. While other films are scheduled for release, ‘Darling’ has garnered the most attention and anticipation.

Ultimately, the success of ‘Darling’ will depend on its ability to fulfill the early promise generated by positive buzz and effectively capitalize on the currently advantageous market conditions.

Allu Sirish’s ‘Buddy’ Postponed to Avoid Box Office Clash

0

Hyderabad, India (July 18, 2024) – Allu Sirish’s highly anticipated action-adventure film, ‘Buddy’, has officially shifted its release date from July 26th to August 2nd, 2024. Produced under the esteemed Studio Green banner by K.E. Gnanavel Raja, the film has generated significant buzz with its captivating trailer and engaging musical tracks.

Despite an initial plan for a July release, the makers have opted for a strategic postponement to avoid a box office clash with Dhanush’s ‘Raayan’, which is slated for a simultaneous Telugu and Tamil release on July 26th. Given Dhanush’s substantial Telugu fanbase, the decision to create a clear gap between the two films is seen as a prudent move to optimize ‘Buddy’s’ commercial potential.

Directed by Sam Anton, ‘Buddy’ features Sirish in the lead role as Aditya Ram, with Gayathri Bharadwaj as the female protagonist. The film’s antagonist is portrayed by Ajmal, while Prisha Rajesh Singh, Mukesh Kumar, and Mohammed Ali contribute to the supporting cast.

The technical crew boasts a talented lineup, including Krishnan Vasant for cinematography, Senthil for art direction, Ruben for editing, Sai Hemanth for writing, and Sakthi Saravanan for action choreography.

With the release date now set for August 2nd, the makers of ‘Buddy’ aim to capitalize on the advantage of a first-weekend release, hoping to maximize the film’s box office prospects. As Sirish looks to revive his career, the success of ‘Buddy’ holds significant importance for both the actor and the production team.

Ram Charan’s London Visit: A Tale of Speculation and Anticipation

0

Recent weeks have seen a whirlwind of conjecture surrounding renowned Telugu actor Ram Charan’s sojourn in London. Initially, the cinematic landscape was abuzz with excitement as rumors circulated about the actor’s potential collaboration with Madame Tussauds for a wax statue. Such an honor would undoubtedly be a testament to Charan’s immense popularity and the profound impact he has made on the Indian film industry.

However, a subsequent wave of speculation has emerged, suggesting a more action-oriented purpose for the actor’s London trip. Reports, while unverified, have posited that Charan is engaged in an intensive mixed martial arts (MMA) training regimen. This development has ignited a fresh wave of enthusiasm among the actor’s fan base, who eagerly anticipate the potential cinematic implications of such training. Charan, known for his charismatic screen presence, could elevate his action sequences to unprecedented levels with honed combat skills.

It is crucial to approach these claims with a degree of skepticism, as no official confirmation has been provided by the actor or his representatives. The realm of entertainment is often characterized by a propensity for rumor-mongering, and the absence of concrete evidence makes it challenging to discern fact from fiction. Nevertheless, the speculation surrounding Charan’s London visit has undeniably generated significant interest and anticipation.

Regardless of the actual reason behind the actor’s trip, one thing remains certain: Ram Charan’s star power continues to ascend. His dedicated fan base eagerly awaits his return, whether it be with the promise of a waxen doppelganger or a transformed physicality primed for the silver screen.
