Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has turned out to be a massive blockbuster at the box office. The film received a strong response from audiences for its emotional content and performances. The movie has also crossed the Rs. 200 crore gross mark worldwide.
The makers recently celebrated the film’s success. During the event, actor Ajay Ghosh revealed an interesting detail about his role. Ajay Ghosh said that he was initially offered the MLA role, which is an important character in the film. However, after discussions with director Shiva Nirvana, the producers and Ravi Teja, he was offered another role.
The reason was simple. The makers felt that audiences might easily guess that Ajay Ghosh was the negative character if he played the MLA, based on the kind of roles he has played earlier. So, they decided to cast another actor as the MLA and gave Ajay Ghosh a different role.
The film stars Ravi Teja, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Baby Nakshathra, Sai Kumar, Swasika Vijay, and others. It is produced by Mythri Movie Makers, with music by GV Prakash Kumar. Irumudi is now gearing up for its OTT release on Netflix.
Suriya and Sithara Entertainments scored a massive hit with Vishwanath & Sons, which emerged as a Rs. 260 crore grosser. Directed by Venky Atluri, the film stars Mamitha Baiju as the female lead and struck a strong emotional chord with audiences.
After a successful four-week theatrical run, Vishwanath & Sons is now streaming on OTT. The film is available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, giving it a wider reach across audiences.
The emotional narrative and the performances of Suriya and Mamitha Baiju played a key role in the film’s theatrical success. The key question now is whether the same connect will extend to OTT audiences.
Radhika Sarathkumar, Sunil Reddy, Bhavani Sre, Nassar, Raveena Tandon and others are part of the cast, while GV Prakash Kumar has composed the music.
