We all know how good Allari Naresh is as an actor in comedy roles. He created a niche for himself in the genre and even completed 50 films in the same. Allari Naresh is out of his comfort zone and doing other roles too. Super Star Mahesh Babu’s Maharshi is a baby step in that.
Yet again the talented actor took such a role and he is all set to mesmerize us. In his upcoming film, he is playing an election officer who is very strict when it comes to his job. Titled ‘Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam’ the social drama film is helmed by AR Mohan.
Going by trailer we can expect that the film deals with sensitive issues that are related to elections. It mainly highlights how people who live close to forests are ignored by the politicians and how they are seen as voters and nothing more than that.
Allari Naresh gets to know various sensitive issues and he stands as a saviour to the village where tribals live in big numbers. He gets involved in a tense situation and the government ropes cops and forces to bring the situation under control. What happens next forms the crux of the story.
Allari Naresh is playing a sensible and strict election officer in the upcoming film which is bankrolled by Razesh Danda under the Hasya Movies banner. The upcoming film is slated for a grand release on the 25th of this month and Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam is already having a positive buzz.
The Allari Naresh starrer has an ensemble cast of Sampath Raj, Anandhi, Vennela Kishore, and others. Sampath Raj is playing a serious cop while Vennela Kishore is an assistant to Naresh.
On the work front, Allari Naresh also has ‘Ugram’ in hand. The shooting started earlier last month and the project was announced in a big way. Ugram marks the second collaboration of Allari Naresh and Vijay Kanakamedala after Naandhi. Urgram is bankrolled by one of the happening production houses in the Tollywood industry Shine Screens and Ugram is the fifth project of the production house. Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi are the producers.

Rajamouli Faces Varanasi Budget Challenge
Varanasi is shaping up to be the most ambitious and expensive project of S.S. Rajamouli’s career. Industry estimates suggest that the film is being mounted on a staggering budget of around Rs 1,200 crore to Rs 1,400 crore, making it one of the costliest productions in Indian cinema history.
When the project was conceived, the makers reportedly expected streaming rights to contribute a major chunk of the recovery, with projections ranging between Rs 500 crore and Rs 600 crore. However, the OTT landscape has changed significantly over the past few years.
Streaming platforms are no longer spending aggressively on film acquisitions, and industry sources indicate that even a marquee project like Varanasi may fetch only around Rs 150 crore to Rs 200 crore from digital rights. This shift has put additional pressure on the makers to keep costs under control.
As a result, the team is said to be exploring various cost-cutting measures without compromising the scale and vision of the film. According to reports, reducing the number of shooting days and opting for more economical locations instead of expensive international schedules are among the options being considered.
Sources also suggest that a considerable portion of the budget is allocated to the remuneration of the lead cast and key technicians. While Rajamouli himself is reportedly open to lowering his earnings, his compensation model is largely based on profit-sharing rather than a fixed upfront salary, leaving limited room for immediate savings.
The concern surrounding the film’s massive budget is understandable. Even recent big-ticket blockbusters have found it challenging to breach extraordinary box-office milestones, despite being considered huge commercial successes. In comparison, Varanasi’s reported budget of over Rs 1,200 crore is unprecedented and raises questions about the viability of recovering such a massive investment in the current theatrical and digital market.
For Rajamouli and his team, the challenge lies in striking the right balance between cinematic grandeur and financial discipline. The coming months are expected to reveal how the makers plan to optimize costs while ensuring that Varanasi lives up to the lofty expectations surrounding it.
Ultimately, a film achieves true success not just through critical acclaim and box-office records, but by delivering healthy returns and creating a lasting legacy.
