The stage is set for an epic showdown at the box office as two major Telugu films, Dulquer Salmaan’s “Lucky Baskhar” and Pawan Kalyan’s “They Call Him OG” (simply OG), are slated to release on September 27, 2024. This clash has set the film industry abuzz, pitting two fan-favorite stars against each other in a head-to-head battle for box office supremacy.
Dulquer Salmaan, the Mollywood heartthrob, is back in Telugu cinema with “Lucky Baskhar,” following his successes with “Mahanati” and “Sita Ramam.” Directed by Venky Atluri, who recently hit it big with “Vaathi/Sir” starring Dhanush, this film features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead. The teaser has already generated positive buzz, showcasing Dulquer in a unique role as a cashier, with music by GV Prakash Kumar adding to the film’s appeal.
In the other corner, Pawan Kalyan, the Power Star, is gearing up to release “OG,” directed by Sujeeth. The highly anticipated film has been a hot topic among fans, who are now left speculating whether the release date will be moved to avoid clashing with “Lucky Baskhar.” An official statement from the makers of OG is eagerly awaited.
AM Ratnam Unveils “Hari Hara Veera Mallu” Release Plans Amidst the Clash
Adding fuel to the fire, AM Ratnam has announced plans for the release of Pawan Kalyan’s first pan-Indian film, “Hari Hara Veera Mallu.” The film, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and partially helmed by Jyoti Krishna, will be released in two parts, with the first titled “Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1: Sword vs Spirit.” Ratnam revealed that the film might hit screens in either September or October 2024, depending on Pawan Kalyan’s schedule post the AP general elections.
The Stakes are High: Who Will Emerge Victorious?
This impending clash raises the stakes for both films. “Lucky Baskhar,” produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas banners, looks promising with Dulquer’s charismatic presence and Atluri’s directorial finesse. On the other hand, “OG” is backed by Pawan Kalyan’s massive fan base and the directorial vision of Sujeeth, ensuring a tough competition.
Meanwhile, “Hari Hara Veera Mallu,” featuring a star-studded cast including Nidhhi Agerwal, Bobby Deol, M. Nassar, and Nora Fatehi, with music by Oscar-winner MM Keeravaani, is poised to add another layer of excitement to Pawan Kalyan’s cinematic year.
