Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Attack gear up for theatrical releases
The wait for the audience to go back to cinemas is finally over as films have started releasing on the big screen and many others are beelining for theatrical releases too.
Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and
Attack have been confirmed for theatrical releases by the production house. This news has also shut down social media rumours that suggested the movies could have OTT releases.
The official Twitter handle of the production house posted, “We would like to clarify that Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR & Attack will release in Cinemas...These magnum opus films are made for the big screen experience and would be releasing in theatres...(sic)”.
Starring Alia Bhatt in the lead, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi marks the first collaboration between the filmmaker and the actor. It is based on the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai written by S Hussain Zaidi. SS Rajamouli’s RRR features Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson, and Alison Doody. Meanwhile, Attack is an actionthriller film starring John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Rakul Pr Singh in lead roles.
Actor Rana Daggubati appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Hyderabad on Wednesday after being summoned as part of the ongoing money laundering probe in connection with a high-end drug racket busted in the city in 2017. The Baahubali star is among the over 10 Tollywood personalities, including actors and directors, to be summoned by the ED.
On July 2, 2017 the Telangana’s Prohibition and Excise department, had busted the racket by arresting a three-member gang including Calvin Mascrenhas, a musician, for allegedly peddling narcotic drugs such as LSD and MDMA. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) had also probed the alleged drug links with Tollywood, and had then questioned 11 people connected to the Telugu film industry.
Since August 31 filmmaker Puri Jagannadh, actors Charmee Kaur, Rakul Preet Singh, and Nandu have also appeared before the central agency. However, Daggubati was not questioned by SIT at that time.
