Wait Ends! NTR31 Shoot Starts Late 2025 Second Half

Here’s the latest update for fans eagerly awaiting Jr NTR’s upcoming project with director Prashanth Neel known for blockbuster movies KGF and Salaar, tentatively titled NTR31. While the buzz around the collaboration had fans anticipating a summer 2024 shoot, recent developments have shifted the timeline.

Director Prashanth Neel is currently focused on bringing his action-packed “Salaar 2” with Prabhas to life. To ensure a swift production process and a targeted summer 2025 release, Neel has requested the dedicated time and schedules of all lead actors, including Prabhas, from June onwards.

This prioritization of “Salaar 2” unfortunately pushes back the NTR31 project. Originally envisioned for a summer 2024 shoot, NTR’s film with Neel will now begin filming in the latter half of 2025. While fans might have to wait a bit longer, there’s a positive side. NTR’s recent public appearance at a Hyderabad Iftar party has generated much excitement.

A viral video showcasing his casual interactions and warm demeanor has won him praise for his humility and genuine connection with people. This only adds to the anticipation surrounding his upcoming projects, including NTR31 with Prashanth Neel, which is expected to be a high-octane action entertainer produced under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.

Bade Miya Chote Miyan 1+1 Promotion Fails to Spark Interest

The revival of the classic comedy duo Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” seems to have hit a snag. The film’s attempt to woo audiences with a “buy one, get one free” ticket offer failed to generate significant interest, raising concerns about the movie’s commercial prospects though it has touched ₹100 crores gross mark already.

This promotional strategy, often employed to boost ticket sales for opening weekends, appears to have backfired for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan.” Industry experts speculate that factors like lacklustre trailers or competition from other releases might be dampening audience enthusiasm to buy tickets for this Akshay-Tiger starrer. While coffers filled up to ₹100 crores gross, that wouldn’t be sufficient as the film’s budget is more than ₹300 crores.

The film serves as a sequel to the 1998 hit of the same name, originally starring Govinda and Ram Kapoor. Replicating the magic of the original has proven a challenge, though Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are known for their box office pull, even their star power seems insufficient to overcome the current lull.

Even the glam dose of Manushi Chillar and Alaya F, along with Prithviraj Sukumaran’s villainy failed to click. The coming days will be crucial for “Bade Miyan Chote Miyaan” as it attempts to turn things around and find its footing at the box office.
