In 2023 and 2024, all of our elite athletes are taking it easy and not taking any chances. While the majority are focused on regaining lost ground, the remainder are careful to avoid getting into the sticky situation of trying to rebuild their box office credentials after lengthy runs!
With their admirable blending of emotions, entertainment, and story retelling, South makers, especially from 2021 down, have paved the way to box office triumphs as well as online success. They also dominate the mass-appealing action genre. Additionally, it is obviously in their best interests to “move South” because the majority of Mumbai’s top heroes currently have a questionable box office history.
At least one movie starring numerous A-listers (and we’re sure there are plenty more in the works!) is unmistakably set in South India. Yes, even Shah Rukh Khan, who would never ordinarily take such a step, is putting on his own production, Jawan, which some predict would be a tremendous success given Atlee’s fame in the South. Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupati, and Anirudh Ravinchander all appear in the movie together.
Another minor trend that appears to be emerging is the use of South Indian composers to score entire Hindi films.
There is reason to believe that Aamir Khan has been offered to star in Prashant KGF 2 Neel’s upcoming as antagonist to NTR Jr.; an offer that will be difficult to decline. After the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha (not inevitably because of it! ), Aamir Khan had hinted that he would be taking a break to focus for a while on his children and mother.
After a string of failures, Ranveer Singh will team up with South Indian genius Shankar to adapt the epic Velpari for the big screen. The movie will have an enormous budget and impressive special effects. Since action movies dominated the movies he watched growing up in the 1980s, the actor is a major lover of this genre.
Ajay Devgn’s subsequent film is scheduled for release in March 2023. 3D Bholaa. The touching story of a father and his daughter will support the well-known cinematic truism that action works best when it has a solid emotional foundation. The movie is a remake of the action movie Kaithi from Tamil.
The Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru, which was based on the life of G.R. Gopinath, the creator of the Indian low-cost airline Simplifly Deccan, stars Akshay Kumar, who is known for taking on projects in a variety of genres.
And the poster for Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal has certainly piqued interest. After all, it brings together Sandeep Vanga Reddy, the director of the 2019 box office sensation Kabir Singh, and the protagonist of Brahmastra.
Even Salman Khan, despite his own box office dominance, cast Ram Charan, Venkatesh, and composer Ravi Basrur in his own home production, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aaryan is largely relying on Shehzada, the remake of the Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
