YOU ASKED IT

– Shall we just say, it’s the calm before the storm next week which will see the release of PUSHPA: THE RULE PART 2?
Has the release of Chhaava been postponed? Why was no formal announcement made by the producers for the postponement?
– The producers must’ve not made a formal announcement of the postponement because except for the announcement of the scheduled release on 6th December, in the teaser (released many weeks back), there was no other indication that the film would hit the screens next week. By implication, therefore, it was evident that the film had been postponed. Otherwise, the trailer would’ve been released, and the other usual activities around the release would’ve started at least in mid-November. Incidentally, instead of clashing with PUSHPA: THE RULE PART 2, CHHAAVA will now come on 14th February, 2025.
Why did big stars not perform at the IFFI in Goa this year?
– Stars are difficult to get after agencies have started managing their affairs. Their demands are unrealistic! It is learnt that Allu Arjun backed out at the last minute after agreeing to remain present for the IFFI’s closing ceremony.
