19 Jan 2022

The third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to all the January films getting postponed. After Delhi shut down cinemas, everyone expected the other state governments to follow suit. But except a handful of states, cinema halls are functioning, albeit at 50% occupancy and minus night shows. Pushpa: The Rise Part 01, starring Allu Arjun, thankfully has managed to attract audiences but the footfalls are naturally depleting week after week. The exhibitors stared at losses and even temporary closure due to the lack of content.However, on Monday, they all had a reason to cheer after it was announced that the Hindi version of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo would be released in cinemas on January 26. Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms, who released Pushpa: The Rise Part 01 in Hindi, also holds the rights to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. The latter also stars Allu Arjun and the original Telugu version was a blockbuster. In the words of Manish Shah, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is the biggest non-Baahubali hit down South. Hence, a lot of hopes are pinned on the Hindi version.Bollywood Hungama recently had an exclusive chat with Manish Shah and he shared some interesting details about the release plans of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos Hindi version. When asked when the theatrical trailer of the film will be out, he replied, Itll be out on Thursday, January 20. The teaser of the film was released on Tuesday, January 18.As for the screen count, Manish Shah said, We are hoping to release it in 2000 screens across the country.When asked about the promotional plans, Manish Shah made an interesting point, You can see the promos of the film on our channel, Dhinchak TV. Our whole promotional strategy is focused on the platform where our target audience is present. We plan to target the single screen audience. And they watch movie channels. So, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos teaser and trailer will play in full swing on the movie channels. Well also give ads in papers. We are not targeting the elite audience at all. Theyll anyway be informed about Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos release through social media. However, we want to inform viewers who are not on social media but who watch TV channels and read newspapers. Even with movie channels, we have picked those that have a substantial reach in both urban and rural areas, and where fans of dubbed films are present. Dhinchak TV is one such channel; its USP is that it only plays dubbed films.A trade expert said, The promotional campaign of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos Hindi version is of less than 10 days. But itll be effective. Its a good way of cashing in on the success achieved by Allu Arjun with the Hindi version of Pushpa: The Rise Part 01. The original is a fantastic entertainer and just what the Hindi masses would want to watch on the big screen. For the exhibitors, Allu Arjun and his films have emerged as a godsend in these trying times.Besides Allu Arjun, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo also stars Pooja Hegde and Tabu.

As testing waters to see if the audience which I'm seeing on YouTube and on satellite, which is humongous numbers, will they come to the theaters. I wanted to test waters with Pushpa and believe me thank you to the whole of North India, you proved we are just not going to love us through digital mediums but we will come physically to the theaters to admire you.

Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pughs Black Widows post-credit scene was kept secret from Jeremy Renners Hawkeye team

13 Dec 2021

The final moments of Black Widow were not only a surprise for the audience but for the writing staff of Hawkeye too. Head writer Jonathan Igla recalled having to stay quiet about a moment involving Florence Pugh's Yelena and Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton.In Black Widows mid-credits scene, Yelena, the breakout character played by Florence Pugh, was put on the trail of Jeremy Renners Clint Barton/Hawkeye, teasing up an appearance in the Renners Disney+ show that began with this weeks episode. When Marvel added that scene, the Hawkeye team was already writing Yelena into their show after head writer Jonathan Igla lobbied to include her in the series. One day, Igla got word from Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige that Black Widow would include a post-credit scene leading into Hawkeye, but he had to keep that to himself to preserve the secret as long as possible.As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Igla said, There was a length of time where I wasnt supposed to share it with the rest of the writing staff. There were a handful of things like that, which was challenging. I did my best. I like to think that Im an honest broker and if somebody tells me not to share something, even if I think, Well the writing staff really needs to know this, then Im just going to trust their process.I kept it under my hat for a while.It turns out that secrecy was a two-way street. The changes were also kept from Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson. He was told to write a scene in which Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) puts Yelena on the hunt for Clint Barton, but was not told why.Pearson said in July, They told me, and then at the end, this is the target. And I was like, What does that mean? They were like, Dont worry about it. You dont have to know that,'. I was like, Who am I screwing over? Something is going on! I dont have an answer for this. They were like, You dont need to. We are going to figure that out. I remember writing it and feeling super guilty. I hope whatever writer is working on this next chapter is going to be OK with what Ive done to them.The film Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson, was released in July this year while the Disney+ mini-series Hawkeye premiered the first episode on November 24, 2021.
