Thanks to Rajamouli, a lot of filmmakers down South are aiming at the pan-Indian market now. Many star directors have become popular all over the nation and our star heroes became huge stars in the North as well. This trend has become quite popular now that even some debut directors are aiming at the pan-Indian market with their first films.
Recently, Adivi Sesh announced his next project titled ‘G2’. This is a sequel to ‘Goodachari’ and it is going to be made on a huge scale. With ‘Major’ becoming a good success in the North as well, Adivi Sesh has planned ‘G2’ on a pan-Indian level and he brought Vinay Kumar Sirigineedi onboard as the director. He worked as the editor for ‘Major’ and he turned into a director for this pan-Indian film. We need to see if he makes a universally appealing debut movie or not.
Editor Garry BH who worked on a lot of notable films in the past is making a pan-Indian action thriller titled ‘SPY’. It has Nikhil playing the lead role. This larger-than-life action entertainer will release across five languages namely Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada. Iswarya Menon is the leading lady opposite Nikhil and Sanya Thakur in an important role. Aryan Rajesh is making his comeback to movies after some gap. Producer K Raja Shekhar Reddy has also provided the story for this flick billed to be a complete action-packed spy thriller, while Sricharan Pakala renders soundtracks. The shooting is going on at a brisk pace and this movie is expected to release in the summer of 2023.
Another debut director who is entering the field with a pan-Indian film is Shakti Pratap Singh. He is a well-known ad filmmaker, cinematographer and VFX aficionado. But his movie with Mega Prince Varun Tej is his first feature film. The untitled movie is called #VT13 for now and Manushi Chillar is the female lead in this project. This patriotic and edge-of-the-seat entertainer showcases the indomitable spirits of our heroes on the frontlines and the challenges they face as they fight one of the biggest, fiercest aerial attacks that India has ever seen. The shooting is currently going on and we need to see how this movie turns out.
Last but not the least, Srikanth Odela. This filmmaker is also aiming at the pan-Indian market with his debut movie ‘Dasara’. Starring Natural star Nani and National award winner Keerthy Suresh in the lead roles, this raw and rustic action drama is being made under a lot of expectations. The shooting is going on at a brisk pace and Nani revealed that the last schedule began a few days back. After this schedule, only one song will be left to be canned. The film Dasara will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages on 30th March 2023. Samuthirakani, Sai Kumar and Zarina Wahab are the important cast of the film.
With four debut directors arriving with pan-Indian films, we need to see how many of them become successful and gain humongous craze in the industry.
