After Kamal Hassan’s ‘Vikram’, not one film managed to impress the Telugu audience. Apart from creating records in Kollywood, this gangster drama blew away the Telugu movie lover too. It got a blockbuster verdict by earning nearly 20 crores. The rich content and presentation by Lokesh Kanagaraj paired up with Anirudh’s thumping BGMs and stellar performances made this film a huge success. Every film after ‘Vikram’ failed to impress the audience and ran for not more than 3 days at the box office.
Tollywood needs a good hit in order to put an end to this dry run. Three medium-level heroes are arriving in July and they are all aiming to score a blockbuster and increase their market. The first to arrive is Ram Pothineni with his bilingual project ‘The Warriorr’. It is the biggest film in his career till date and the songs have already become good hits. The trailer looked impressive too and pundits are expecting the film to get good collections even with an average talk. But it is director Lingusamy’s track record that is worrying everyone. His last couple of films like ‘Sikander’ and ‘Pandem Kodi 2’ were big failures. Krithi Shetty is the heroine. Aadi Pinisetty is the villain while Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad composed the music. Ram will be seen as a police officer for the first time in his career. The movie is hitting the screens on 14th July and let us see what happens.
Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is on a roll lately with successive hits like ‘Bangarraju’, ‘Love Story’, ‘Venky Mama’ and ‘Majili’. ‘Thank You’ has a good buzz due to its songs and teaser. The movie is going to explore the ups and downs the lead character went through in his journey. Raashi Khanna, Malavika Nair and Avika Gor are the heroines in this film while Sai Sushanth Reddy plays a vital role. Directed by Vikram Kumar, ‘Thank You’ produced is Dil Raju is arriving on 22nd July.
On 29th July, Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja is arriving with ‘Ramarao On Duty’. While his track record is not good in recent times, he is aiming to score a hit once again with this action entertainer. Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Koushil are the female leads in this project while Nasser, Sr Naresh, Pavitra Lokesh, ‘Sarpatta’ John Vijay, Chaitanya Krishna, Tanikella Bharani, Rahul Rama Krishna, Eerojullo Sree, Madhu Sudan Rao, Surekha Vani and others play key roles. Venu Thottempudi plays a key role and Ravi Teja will be seen as a Deputy Collector Mandal Revenue Officer in his 68th film. It is coming out on 29th July. Sharat Mandava is making his directorial debut with this flick.
Let us wait and see which of these three heroes end as the winner of July.
