He’s known as the Power Star of Telugu film industry and one look at the release plans of Teen Maar tells you why. The Pawan Kalyan-starrer is all set to release in a record 1,150 theatres across the globe today, creating a record in Tollywood.
And the producers expect to get their returns from the film in the opening weekend itself. “There will be 4,000 shows of Teen Maar on the first day and if all of them are houseful, the film will collect `8 crore. This is the biggest release for any hero in Tollywood till date,” says Ganesh Babu, the producer of the film.
This film, which is a remake of Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal, has already created a great impact with its songs. The film has Trisha playing the role that Deepika Padukone essayed in the original, while Kriti Kharbanda will be playing the role Giselli Monteiro had.
Director Jayant C Parinji, who has been one of the most successful film-makers in Tollywood, has incorporated a whole lot of changes to suit this for the masses. “Pawan Kalyan has a certain image that needs to be kept in mind while making a film. This is why I’ve changed the settings for both the characters he plays. One plays a suave master chef in Cape Town while the older guy, who comes in the flashback, is an angry student leader in Benaras,” explains Jayant.
He adds that both his heroines too have big roles to essay in the film. “While I’ve retained the essence of Love Aaj Kal in Teen Maar, my film is eventually a commercial entertainer meant for Power Star’s fans,” says Jayant.
With the stakes getting bigger in this film, it only remains to see which one is the next Tollywood film that will look towards breaking this record.
