2018 started on a very disastrous note for Tollywood, as the most expected biggie, the 25th flick of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan, Agnyaathavaasi, which was a Sankranthi special, failed to offer any fireworks at the box office, while Balayya's Jai Simha was an average fare. February witnessed the success of Tholi Prema.
It was in summer that Tollywood regained its magical touch, at the fag end of March, as Mega Powerstar Ramcharan starrer, Sukumar directorial Rangasthalam turned out to be a huge blockbuster, turning out to be the new Non Baahubali industry hit, while April saw Superstar Mahesh Babu returning to form with his blockbuster political entertainer Bharat Ane Nenu. Now, with two biggies likely to release on the same day, a lead actress is expected to do an item number in both the movies.
In a similar fashion, 2019 April 5 will see the release of Mahesh Babu's 25th film by Vamshi Paidipally, while it has been reported in the industry circles that Megastar Chiranjeevi's Sye Raa, costarring Nayanthara and directed by Surender Reddy, is eyeing a March 2019 release, creating a similar scenario as 2018 summer. All said, if things materialize and the content clicks, it's again gonna be Mega - Mahesh combo ruling Tollywood summer box office again! Let's see whether Kajal will do Pakka local once again in these ventures.
