Chiranjeevi not keen on Dad-Son Drama. Megastar Chiranjeevi is cautious about taking on a family-oriented film centered on a father-son relationship, which was pitched by the acclaimed director Kalyan Krishna and has temporarily been set aside. According to an inside source, his hesitance stems from the underwhelming performance of his previous movie, 'Bholaa Shankar,' which revolved around a brother-sister story.&nbsp;
However, he did appreciate the new script, which blends love, family emotions, and entertainment.The highly anticipated project was slated to be produced by his devoted daughter, Sushmita Konidela. Chiranjeevi wants to ensure its success as it holds significant importance for his daughter's production banner.
'Bholaa Shankar' featured a brother-sister sentiment, where the hero conceals his past to aid his adopted sister (Keerthy Suresh) in achieving success, and the story unfolds in Calcutta. Unfortunately, this sentimental drama did not resonate with his extensive fanbase and the Telugu audience.Presently, his attention is focused on an upcoming socio-fantasy film directed by the young filmmaker Vashishta, which will mark his 157th film.
Notably, top heroine Anushka Shetty will play a pivotal role in this project.In the interim, Chiranjeevi remains open to the possibility of taking on a mass entertainer that aligns with his larger-than-life image. Such a project could serve as a grand debut for his daughter's production house.

Ram Charan is peeved at Shankar Game Changer decisions. Ram Charan has had to delay the shooting of his film 'Game Changer' due to an injury, and he currently in the process of recovering under the guidance of medical professionals. This development may have left Ram Charan somewhat frustrated, especially considering that renowned director Shankar has repeatedly postponed the shooting schedules for their project 'Game Changer,' leading to inevitable delays in the release dates as well. A source familiar with the situation mentioned, "Now, Ram Charan is gearing up for a summer release after missing the Sankranthi festival. Undoubtedly, his fans are also feeling a bit disheartened due to the frequent delays in the shooting process."
'Game Changer' has been in production for the past two years, and Ram Charan had initially been excited about collaborating with director Shankar, known for delivering blockbusters like 'Robo' and 'Aparachitudu.' However, the initial enthusiasm has started to wane as the film's progress has been hindered on several occasions for various reasons. Producer Dil Raju is now preparing for a summer release, but the shooting must be completed for that to happen," the source added.
Tamil director Shankar had originally planned to allocate 15 days to each of his projects, 'Indian 2' and 'Game Changer,' and Ram Charan had prepared accordingly. However, Shankar's focus seemed to have shifted more towards 'Indian 2,' especially following the massive success of Kamal Haasan's 'Vikram.' This shift in priorities has affected the career of the Telugu superstar, leaving him unable to make decisions about his other offers. Even director Buchi Babu and other significant projects have had to wait for regular shooting to commence, adding to the frustration.
With over 40 days of shooting still pending, after completing the songs for a substantial budget of Rs 90 crores, Ram Charan is committed to finishing the film as a consummate professional. He undoubtedly hopes that 'Game Changer' will become a blockbuster and compensate for the two-year-long wait.

Animal experiencing Adipurush scares. B-town production house T Series made a bold move by venturing into the star-studded bandwagon with the mythological film 'Adipurush,' featuring Prabhas. However, the film didn't quite meet the high expectations set for it. In response to this, the production house, led by Bhushan Kumar, is taking a cautious approach with their next big star film, 'Animal,' starring Ranbir Kapoor. They've decided to delay its release by six months and have urged Telugu filmmaker Sandeep Vanga to reshoot certain portions and key scenes to enhance the film's appeal to a wider audience.

"Adipurush" may not have performed as expected, but T Series has a strong track record of delivering musical love stories like 'Aashiqui 2' and 'Shehzada.' However, they decided to take on the challenge of a high-budget film like 'Adipurush' to join the league of elite production houses that focus on star-centric films. Notably, they recently enjoyed massive success with 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and have demonstrated their expertise in delivering breezy romances.

Nevertheless, what's creating significant buzz around 'Animal' is Ranbir Kapoor's captivating performance in the film's teaser. Known for his charming lover boy roles in films like 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,' Ranbir is now set to showcase a new, high-octane action avatar that promises to captivate viewers. With his immense talent and a massive female fan following, expectations are high for this transformation in his on-screen persona.

In summary, T Series is making strategic adjustments in response to the performance of 'Adipurush' and is determined to ensure the success of 'Animal,' given the anticipation generated by Ranbir Kapoor's intriguing new role in the film.
