Suriya and Rajamouli Were Supposed To Work for Magadheera

Suriya is one of the most successful actors in South Indian cinema. He is currently occupied with promotions for his upcoming film Kanguva, which will be released on November 14th. The team held a pre-release event in Hyderabad yesterday. During the event, Rajamouli spoke about not collaborating with Suriya. Earlier, they were supposed to do Magadheera together.

During the event, SS Rajamouli praised Suriya for inspiring his ambition to create pan-Indian films. Rajamouli shared that he had plans to collaborate with Suriya, though the project did not materialize. He expressed his regret by saying, “It is my loss for not working with Suriya.”

Responding to Rajamouli’s remarks, Suriya expressed his eagerness to collaborate. “I openly admit that I missed the train and am still waiting at the railway station, hoping to catch it someday,” Suriya said.

There has long been speculation that Suriya and Rajamouli were initially set to work together on Magadheera, a project that starred Ram Charan. At a previous event, Ram Charan mentioned that before plans changed, Magadheera was originally envisioned for Suriya.

Rs 75 crore on 15 minutes in Pushpa 2

Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s big league pan Indian outing Pushpa 2 is headed for its theatrical debut on the 5th of next month and the promotions are in full swing for this actioner now.

In view of the film’s release which is fast approaching, a budding Telugu actor named Kranthi who is playing a key role in the Sukumar directorial made a very interesting revelation. Kranthi revealed that Mythri Movie Makers spent a whopping Rs 60 crore only on the 15-18 minute-long Jathara sequence in the film.

He said another Rs 14 crore was spent on the rehearsal for this fight sequence, meaning that in total, Rs 75 crores were spent only on this Jathara sequence in the film which is a massive financial allocation for one particular episode. We usually see mid-range films executed in Rs 30-40 crores but in the case of Pushpa 2, the makers spent a whopping Rs 75 crore on one single sequence itself, which is beyond ordinary.

speaks volumes about the kind of production that is going into Pushpa 2. As noted, the film is set for release on the 5th of December and the stakes are high on this one.
