&nbsp;&nbsp;Director Nag Ashwin has high hopes for Sing Geetham, the new musical fantasy by veteran Singeetam Srinivasa Rao. The film releases worldwide on June 11, and Nag Ashwin calls it unlike anything made before. He says audiences will remember it for years because of its fresh story and style.Produced by Vyjayanthi Movies and Swapna Cinema, the movie stars newcomers Ayaan, Ahilya Bamroo, and Shalini Kondepudi. Music is by Devi Sri Prasad, and the teaser and songs have already created interest among movie lovers. Nag Ashwin added that this project was Singeetam’s long-time dream, and he had once narrated it to Kamal Haasan even before Pushpaka Vimana. &nbsp;Nag Ashwin shared that the whole story is set in a fictional place called Kuberapura, which has gold mines at its heart. He describes the film as a mix of human emotions and light humour with nonstop music. Every dialogue in the film is delivered through songs, which makes it a big musical challenge. That is why releasing it in other languages needs the songs to be recreated fresh for each version.Singeetam chose new actors because he likes fresh faces and feels it helps viewers connect with the unique world without a star image in mind. Nag Ashwin was involved in every step and even worked like an assistant director on set to support the veteran’s vision. He believes Sing Geetham has the same timeless feel as Pushpaka Vimana, Aditya 369, and Bhairava Dweepam. He also praised DSP for handling the nonstop score without making it feel like a regular musical. Nag Ashwin ended by confirming Kalki 2 work has started, and the regular shoot will begin next month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nani’s big film The Paradise is made on a budget of over 200 crore. It was first planned for the end of March but then moved to August 21. Now, a new talk has started in the film industry that the August date may also change. The team had denied delay rumors earlier too, before the film was pushed once.So many people are watching the updates carefully this time. The movie is one of the biggest projects in Nani’s career and has high expectations from fans across India. With a huge scale and action-packed story, the film needs more time to finish work. &nbsp; &nbsp;A few reasons are behind this new delay talk. The second song was planned for May, but it is not out yet. Shooting is still going on, and a lot of post-work is left. Finishing everything before August 21 looks difficult right now. Director Srikanth Odela is known for focusing on quality, and he does not like to rush.He wants the final output to match the scale of the film. Because of his style, a quick release seems less likely. At this stage, August 21 looks hard to meet, and the film may move to a new date. An official word from the makers is still awaited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Dip in Peddi collections analysed. Ram Charan's Peddi had a sensational start grossing more than Rs 60crs share in Telugu states. However the second day witnessed a drastic drop in collections to around just Rs 26 crs.The film grossed over Rs 86crs in the first two days but still has a long way to go to achieve the target of Rs 140crs theatrical business. The mixed reviews also didnot help the film's cause in any manner. In the meantime, the dip in collections is analyzed.Producer Lagadapati Sridhar says "Ram Charan worked extremely hard for the role. He transformed himself physically to convincingly portray a wrestler, cricketer and runner. Eventually, the film has turned out to be a one-man show driven by his performance." He continued "Perhaps Gen Z viewers found it difficult to connect with the pain, suffering and struggles of tribal communities depicted in a fictional period setting inspired by the 1980s and 1990s. On the other hand, middle-aged and older audiences are visiting theatres in large numbers because of their trust in the Mega family and their appreciation for emotionally driven stories."He added "Ram Charan is a racing horse, but he may not have been given the ideal track to gallop towards a massive victory. Having said that, collections are still improving in several centres."He continued "There has to be strong chemistry between a star's charisma and the story. Depending solely on stardom is risky. The tribal backdrop and tragic narrative had certain shortcomings that prevented some sections of the audience from emotionally connecting with the film."He observed "Today's generation prefers stories set in contemporary times. If filmmakers choose a period backdrop, it needs to be rooted in real-life events or inspired by well-known historical incidents. Otherwise, retaining audience interest becomes challenging."He added "Since the story is loaded with pain and hardship, the director may have felt that glamour through Janhvi Kapoor's character would provide relief. However, it didn't blend seamlessly with the narrative. Ram Charan and Janhvi looked modern and stylish, while several other characters appeared disconnected from that world despite extensive prosthetic work. That lack of consistency may have contributed to the mixed reports."He observed, "Similarly, the hero's final transformation was largely conveyed through montage sequences and lacked the dramatic build-up needed to elevate the emotional payoff."He concluded, "Buchi Babu Sana remained committed to his emotional and tragic narrative. While that approach may resonate strongly with Telugu audiences, it limits the film's appeal beyond regional boundaries. The story lacks the universal elements required to attract a wider national and international audience."
