Satellite rights are a major income source for the producers to recover good amount of their total investment. Four movies are set to clash at the box office for this sankranthi season and here is the satellite rights comparison.

MAA TV acquired the satellite rights of Sharwanand starrer Express Raja. Produced by UV Creations, Rs 3.5 Crore was pocketed by this film.

Gemini TV showed faith in Nagarjuna’s family entertainer Soggade Chinni Nayana and acquired satellite rights by shelling Rs 6.5 Crore. Balayya Babu’s action entertainer 2 Dictator, produced by EROS, was also pocketed by Gemini TV with an expense of Rs 6.5 Crore.

Gemini TV had to shell out huge Rs 9 Crore to grab the satellite rights of 1 NannakuPrematho, the craziest movie of this season. This NTR starrer is directed by talented Sukumar, and it has unprecedented craze among class audiences.

Telugu girl Anjali is known to be a talented actress. She has already proved her acting skills with few acclaimed roles. Now, she is said to be getting ready to play the most difficult character of her career, for that matter for any actress’s career, a hijra sex worker.

Anjali has recently been roped in to pair up with Malayalam superstar Mammootty. The film will be directed by National Award winning filmmaker Ram. Anjali is offered the role of a transgender sex worker in this film.

An actress must needs guts to accept such role, but Anjali has signed the film without nay fuss. To playa third gender prostitute, Anjali requires heavy physical transformation, and we can expect a National Award for this kind of role.

Meanwhile, Anjali is waiting for the release of Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’, in which she is the leading lady.

The clash of Balakrishna Nandamuri and NTR Jr at the Sankranthi box office with their respective films Dictator and Nannaku Prematho has taken a political turn now.

It is heard that TDP cadre in many areas of Andhra Pradesh is trying to snub Nannaku Prematho by snatching it’s already less screens and allot them to Dictator. Many exhibitors are complaining that they are receiving threats from TDP leaders to screen Dictator instead of Nannaku Prematho in their theatres. In Ceded area, which is called the adda of NTR since he has mad fan following there, NTR is unable to find screens as most of the theatres are allotted to Dictator.

Considering the stardom and given the craze for the film, Nannaku Prematho is carrying much greater buzz than Dictator, but the political forces are backing Balayya starrer and NTR fans are angry and disappointed at the happenings.

If latest reports are to be believed, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s upcoming action entertainer Dictator will be remade by Tamil star hero Ajith in Tamil.

EROS, which is producing the film, has actually wanted to release the movie in Malayalam and Tamil as well. But, after watching the final output, the production house decided to remake it in Tamil with Ajith. As they are confident of the success of Dictator in Telugu, they are confident of convincing Ajith for the remake.

Apart from Tamil, the plan to remake the film in Hindi is also on. Senior hero Ajay Devgn is in discussions to act in the remake. But, the actor is said to have asked for the Telugu result first. So, if the film succeeds in Telugu, already two top heroes are ready to remake it in Tamil and Hindi. The onus is on Balayya now to make the movie hit.

The Nandamuri Fans can now rejoice! The much awaited family entertainer, Dictator is soon to release worldwide, on the 14th of January, making this festive season even more special and entertaining! We are now to announce the list of cities in Australia that Dictator would be releasing in.

Dictator is to be released in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Brisbane, covering pan Australia, and reaching audiences all across the country.

This movie, which happens to be the 99th movie of Nandamuri Balakrishna, is being directed by Sriwass, who also is the co-producer of it. Eros Entertainment, is the second producer of the movie, and is distributing this family entertainer worldwide.

2016 pongal is going to be more colorful for Nandamuri fans. The films of two Supreme Nandamuri heroes is going to release in the same week. Other films that were due to release this Pongal have been postponed, so all eyes are set on Balakrishna and NTR movies.

Sukumar’s directorial NTR starrer Nannaku Prematho is scheduled to release on January 13th, and much awaited Balakrishna’s Dictator directed by Sriwass is releasing on January 14th. Dictator is Balakrishna’s 99th movie.Twelve years before, that is in 2004 January NTR’s Andhrawala was released and in the same year, January 14th Balakrishna’s Lakshmi Narasimha was released too.

Lakshmi Narsimha turned out to be a blockbuster whereas Andhrawala was rated as average. All Balakrishna’s films which were released on Sankranthi collected great moolah and stood as blockbusters, and it has become his great sentiment.On the other hand Andhrawala the only NTR film released during pongal didn’t get good reviews.

Let’s wait and see the reel fight of these two Nandamuri heroes this festival.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s films are always high on action sequences. As per latest reports, Balayya is taking a major risk for his new film ‘Dictator’ by doing a high-octane action sequence without any body double.

The action episode is said to be highlight of the movie and it comes towards the climax. Currently it is being shot in Yousufguda, Hyderabad under the guidance of action choreographer Ravi Varma. Over 150 fighters are participating in the fight sequence. Balayya doing a stunt at 55 is a huge risk. Though the makers asked him to use a dupe, Balayya refused.

Directed and co-produced by Sriwaas, the film is set to release on 14th January. Meanwhile, the music composed by SS Thaman will be unveiled on 20th December in Amaravati.

All set for a grand audio launch event of Dictator, which will be held in Amaravathi, Andhra Pradesh capital city on 20th of this month.

It looks like the recent Chennai floods have brought music director Mani Sharma into the team of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’.

Balayya’s forthcoming action entertainer ‘Dictator’ has, in fact, Thaman as the music composer. His studio is situated in Chennai, which got completely damaged in the Chennai floods. As he is unable to finish the Re-Recording within time and makers of Dictator are not in the mood to let go Sankranthi 2016 release, seasoned musician Mani Sharma has been roped in to score the background music.

The audio composed by Thaman will be launched on 20th of this month in Amaravathi. There was a news that Power Star Pawan Kalyan will grace the audio launch event of Dictator.

Balayya is romancing Anjali and Sonal Chauhan in the film directed by Sri was. Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan provided the screenplay.

The clash of Jr NTR and Balakrishna at the box office for Sankranthi is getting intense. Despite one week, the gap between Nannaku Prematho and Dictator, distributors have been worrying about the revenues. This news will shock them all.

Jr NTR, director Sukumar and the team is currently shooting in Spain. The schedule is expected to be wrapped by December 15th. Due to extensive post-production work, producer BVSN Prasad is heard to be indicating to distributors that if not 8th, January 13th could be the alternative release date for Nannaku Prematho.

This will be a huge threat for Balayya’s Dictator, which is releasing on 14th January. As none of the Nandamuri heroes is ready to drop from the Sankranthi race, the clash has become imminent. With just one day gap, it has intensified now.

Jr NTR is paired with Rakul Preet Singh in Nannaku Prematho and Nandamuri Balakrishna paired up with Anjali and Sonal Chauhan in Dictator.

After bagging a hit with ‘Geethanjali,’ heroine Anjali made clear that she too is in the competition for lady-oriented films along with Anushka and Nayantara. Anjali, who is busy with a hand full of films, is currently doing Balakrishna’s 99th film ‘Dictator’ directed by Sriwass and ‘Chitrangada’ film under the direction of Ashok Kumar. Apart from these, her new flick ‘Sankarabharanam’ will be releasing in the month of December.

Now the bubbly beauty has agreed to do another lady oriented film in Telugu. National Award Winning Telugu director Neelakanta Reddy will be directing this film. Neelakanta, who is a stereoscopic director, always managed to do films that are more in content. His films ‘Show’ and ‘Missamma’ have gained wide popularity and fetched him two national awards to him.

The news is that he recently met heroine Anjali and narrated the story line of a lady oriented film. Impressed by the story, Anjali has given a nod followed by allotting bulk dates to portray the role. This film is rumored to be a psychological thriller.

Neelakanta-Anjali is definitely as worth watching film. This film will begin its regular shooting from the begging of next year. Further cast and crew still to be announced.

Earlier we have seen several coincidences between Jr NTR’s Nannaku Prematho and NBK’s Dictator movie. Both the movie teasers released on the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi.

Now, on the eve of Diwali, the makers of NTR’s ‘Nannaku Prematho’ have released a stylish poster and confirmed that the stylish film will release on Pongal, dismissing the rumors of postponement to give “Dictator” freeway. Dictator team also released a special poster of the films saying Diwali wishes.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’ producer and director Sriwass has also confirmed that “Dictator” will surely release on January 14th. Sriwass confirmed that 80% of shooting is already wrapped up.
Except for two fights, two songs and some patch work to be shot in Delhi, everything is done so there is no question of postponement for ‘Dictator’ from Sankranthi eve.

Watch:

Hence, the war between the two Nandamuri heroes is officially confirmed. However, there is one week gap between the two releases.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is currently shooting for this action entertainer ‘Dictator.’ This film’s new poster was released today wishing ‘Happy Diwali.’

Last time on the eve of ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’ the first look and first song were launched. Again on Dusasera the official teaser was released by the movie team.

S.S.Thaman is providing music for Balakrishna for the first time. A.M.Rathnam is the dialogue writer for ‘Dictator.’

Dictator movie will be released for Pongal, 2016.

Telugu Cinema senior heroes Nandamuri Balakrishna and Akkineni Nagarjuna’s films will be fighting at the box-office this Pongal. These two heroes who belong to two different legendary families will face each other with their film’s Dictator and Soggage Chinni Nayana in the pongal race for the year 2016.

Twice in the past too…

This isn’t any new competition for Nag and Balakrishna. In fact, these two top heroes fought in the Pongal twice. In 1987 Balakrishna’s ‘Bhargava Ramudu’ was released on 14th of January, while Nagarjuna’s ‘Majnu’ too released on the same day. While the overall result of these two films were average, Bhargava Ramudu was a hit in few centres and Majnu gained good response in others.

Individually speaking, Balakrishna released eleven of his films for Pongal and Nagarjuna has only four releases. Out of eleven releases, Balayya has seven hits while others were a flop. Nagarjuna’s films that released for Pongal were all average or above average films. That clearly says Balakrishna is the real Pongal hero.

Also in 1996 ‘Vamsanikokkadu’ and ‘Vajram’ of Balayya and Nagarjuna locked horns for Sankranthi. Now, after a span of twenty years Balakrishna and Nagarjuna are once again fighting out for Sankranthi.

Let’s see whether ‘Dictator’ or ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ will be a winner.

The makers of ‘Dictator’ are rushing into the complete the shoot quickly to make the film ready for Sankranthi. In this process, they are seeking bulk dates from the artists and busy artists are finding it difficult to allot bulk dates.
