Garuda Vega shocks trade analysts in Overseas!
Rajasekhar’s film Garuda Vega is having a dream run (compared to the hero market) in the theatres. The film has been ringing cash registers both at the local and international markets equally. When it was announced that the film is being produced on a massive budget of 25 Crores, trade analysts have confirmed that it’s ‘doomsday’ for the producer.
But the film shocked everyone with its outstanding success at the box-office. The director and Rajasekhar received critical acclaim from all sections of the Tollywood Film Industry. According to trade reports, Garuda Vega has collected $60,000 through its premiers from overseas. Going by the latest buzz, the film has managed to surpass the $100,000 mark with ease and is inching towards the $200,000 mark. It looks like the film might collect as much as 1.5 Crores during its run in the US. It is a known fact that senior heroes don’t have much market in overseas. Despite that, it’s really surprising to see Rajasekhar’s film performing exceedingly well in the overseas market. ‘Garuda Vega’ is the first film to release in overseas for Rajasekhar.
With revenue from online rights and segments to pour in, the film is expected to be a successful venture for the producers.
‘NTR did make some changes to the script narrated by Satish. It is going to be along the lines of ‘family drama’, said another source.The supposed film will be produced by Dil Raju who also produced Shatamanam Bhavati. Meanwhile, director Satish is busy preparing the script to suit the body language of NTR in the film.
And talking about the 5th film under production, Sudheer stated that, ‘the audience already know about this. It’s based on the life of sportsperson and is being directed by Praveen Sattaru.’
The Karni Sena protests have gained momentum. After the recent protests under Karni Sena about the objectionable content in the film, many other groups have joined them. The BJP and Congress are on the same terms as far as this film is considered. BJP leaders demanded that the CBFC should show the film to them before giving it a censor certificate.
The story of ‘Padmavathi’ is a queen of the same name hailing from Rajasthan. In the film’s trailers, it is depicted as if the queen and Alauddin Khilji are having a relationship. But, Shri Karni Sena stated that‘we have a huge library with hundreds of books on Rani Padmavathi. In no book, there was a mention of the relation between Khilji and the Rani. And moreover, the breaking of the mirror by some marching miscreants shown in a scene is also completely false. Mirror was invented much later after this incident.’
Sypder movie satellite rights were sold for 25 Crores to Zee Television for Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages. With Ramcharan’s ‘Rangasthalam 1985’ raking up 16 crores only for its Telugu version, purchase by a reputed organization, it is likely to take over Spyder’s satellite rights.
‘Nakshtram’ Regina’s recent film, directed by Krishna Vamsi was an utter flop. Regina’s skin show in the film went unnoticed after the film became the flop. Regina’s upcoming movie ‘Balakrishnudu’ is being directed by PavanMallela, with Nara Rohit playing the male lead.
