Asian
suresh Entertainments has acquired the all-India rights to
sree Vishnu's "Swag" and Vishwak Sen's upcoming "Mechanic Rocky." Unexpectedly, the price paid to buy
sree Vishnu's Swag rights exceeded that of Vishwak Sen's Mechanic
rocky by 10%.
Each of the stars needs a $50 million dollar blockbuster. Both have had some
success recently, but they weren't huge blockbusters. While Vishwak Sen's films are doing better at the
box office than
sree Vishnu's, they are having trouble staying in theatres on weekdays following the first weekend.
Samajavaragamana,
sree Vishnu's most recent blockbuster, was released in 2023; nevertheless, Om
bheem Bush, his previous
movie, was a
box office bomb. However, although they had some
success, Vishwak Sen's Gaami and Gangs of Godavari were not a big hit. It would be intriguing to see if the two heroes, who are moving towards being commercial performers, can pull off the much-elusive big smash.
The last time we saw
sree Vishnu was in the
movie Om
bheem Bush. Positive reviews were given to the quirky entertainment, which was helmed by
sree harsha konuganti of Husharu fame, and fared rather well at the ticket windows. Alongside
sree Vishnu,
priyadarshi and
rahul ramakrishna had full-length parts. The film, which deals with a delicate issue, will debut globally on
star maa on
june 30 at 6:00 PM. It will be fascinating to observe how films do on small screens in this OTT era.
