Tollywood awaits big game in May


Tollywood awaits big game in May Telugu film industry, which has clearly missed the business in the first quarter of this year, barring a good run for a couple of films, is all set for big releases in May, the month considered the harbinger of the summer dhamaka. In all a business of nearly Rs. 75 Crores is involved. On May Day (May 1st), Allu Arjun-Sheela starrer Parugu is releasing in a big way. Directed by Bhaskar (of Bommarillu fame) and produced by Dil Raju is releasing after a gap of 15 months in Allu Arjun’s career (after Desamuduru in Jan 2007). It is closely followed by Kantri, NTR’s starrer on May 7th, releasing with nearly 400 prints. The release date is also officially announced by its producer Ashwini Dutt. Thirdly, Prabhas's film Bujjigadu - Made In Chennai will be hitting screens on May 16th. At the peak of the summer season, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s bio-periodic film Pandurangadu in the direction of ace K. Raghavendra Rao is releasing on May 30th. Tollywood business circles hope that these big four would compensate the losses for the industry.
