There is new terms which is widely used without any understanding and that is ‘pan India’ release. Crossover actors are delivering flops after flops with only handful films from south made mark at box office.
Vijay Deverekonda delivered disaster Liger with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Prabhas gave utter flop with Radhe Shayam to Bhushan Kumar’s T Series. Now another remake of Rajamouli’s film Chatrapathi marked de it of another Telugu actor Sreenivas Bellamkonda and result is massive disaster at box office.
Chatrapathi was promoted like a Hindi film but from trailer to songs, nothing worked for the film. Film collected poor 45 – 50 lacs nett on day one which is a washout number. Film will fail to cross 1.50 cr nett over weekend and lifetime number will be under 4-5 cr nett.
On contrary, Blockbuster Malyalam film 2018 collected 1.45-1.50 cr nett in North India market despite no promotion. There will be more handful films which will be mega disaster in future as this cliche fad is not stopping anytime soon.
About The Film Chatrapathi:
Chatrapathi is the Hindi remake of SS Rajamouli’s Telugu blockbuster Starring Prabhas and has now hit the theatres. Produced by Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios, the film features Sreenivas Bellamkonda and Nushrratt Bharuccha. It also marks the big Bollywood debut of Sreenivas Bellamkonda.
In a conversation with a news agency, Sreenivas opened up about his thoughts on working in a Hindi movie, and said, “The love I had got from the Hindi audience, as my Telugu movies which got dubbed in Hindi got amazing views and I wanted to thank them in the right way by giving them a great film, so our whole team tried and worked hard. And I thought Hindi cinema is something any actor will dream about because if you wish to reach every corner then Hindi cinema is the only way.”
“I definitely want one more. So I got the best debut film fare in 2015 for my Telugu film and again in 2023 I am very sure that I will get the best debut film fare again for the film ‘Chatarpathi’,” he said.
As the film serves a lot of action, Bellamkunda expressed how action has to be mixed with emotions to deliver a wonderful experience to the audience. He said, “Whenever content merges, action needs emotions. As just for the sake of action it isn’t fun to do a project. As if an emotion is there then there is action, then it gets elevated. So I always believe in that as we have a high-emotion film and it is going to be great.”
“I think the content of the film is something which deserves to be delivered in the biggest way possible. It’s a great film, it’s great content and I am sure when you see this film you will definitely enjoy it and the audience will think that it is ‘paise wasool’ (worth the money),” Shreenivas added when questioned about his reaction on the script of the movie.
