Telugu star Nithiin lists 3 emotional reasons behind his hope for Thammudu's success
A fan of Nithiin? Stream his films, Sye and Bheeshma, on OTTplay Premium
The noted actor spoke his heart out at the pre-release event of the film and stated that he wants it to become a hit for three reasons. The first being the director, Sreeram Venu, who has been working on Thammudu for the last two years. Then, Nithiin revealed that his fans have been waiting to see a hit from him for the longest time, and Thammudu will fulfill their thirst.
Lastly, Nithiin added that the entire cast of the film shot for months together in dense forests, which took a toll on all of them. "Everyone associated with the film has worked hard on Thammudu. The film's story happens in a single night and has gruesome action sequences. The entire cast went through a lot of physical strain to bring the story alive. I promise that Thammudu will be one hell of an action drama filled with solid emotions and great performances," said Nithiin. Sapthami Gowda makes her Telugu debut with Thammudu
Thammudu is quite special as it marks the comeback of yesteryear heroine Laya to the big screen after a long gap. Thammudu is based on her character, and Laya will be seen as Nithiin's sister in the film. Also, Kantara actress Sapthami Gowda is making her Telugu debut with this film, produced by Dil Raju.
The makers have seen solid losses with Ram Charan's Game Changer and still spent close to ₹ 60 crore on Thammudu, despite knowing that Nithiin has not delivered a single hit in the last few years. That is the reason Nithiin openly admits he did not take any remuneration for the film and will only take a share in profits if the film clicks at the box office. Let's see what happens in the days to come.

Aitraaz, Andaaz and more: Priyanka Chopra's bold roles like Heads of State
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is making headlines for her Hollywood release, Heads of State. The movie, netizens believe, finally honours the actress for who she is. While this is the first time Priyanka Chopra is noticed for a bold role in Hollywood, she had been doing so since her early days in Bollywood. One of her boldest films happened to be when she made her debut in the industry and broke the mold. The film made people stand up and notice her for the actress that PeeCee is. Now, with Heads of State, it is time for the West to notice her, but let's rewind back to when Priyanka went bold in her homeland films itself. Priyanka Chopra Jonas' bold roles in Bollywod From Aitraaz to Mary Kom, stream the boldest performances by Priyanka Chopra Jonas now on OTTplay Premium Priyanka Chopra Jonas' boldest performance yet happens to be Aitraaz. She came and she slayed with the role. In the film, Priyanka played the character of a rich woman who uses power to stalk and harass her ex-flame (played by Akshay Kumar). Him being a mere employee could be a spectator while being molested by the woman he once shared a past with. Andaaz Priyanka Chopra gave another memorable performance in Andaaz, where she played the role of Jiya, a woman who steals Raj Malhotra (Akshay Kumar)'s heart. She portrayed desi girl and Western woman both to perfection and was on the same wavelength as Lara Dutta in the movie. Mujhse Shaadi Karogi Imagine playing a woman who has two suitors (played by Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar) fighting for her. Of course, Priyanka played a modern, young woman. That is the impact and legacy Priyanka Chopra carried in Bollywood (it continued through the Dostana era, too). Mary Kom This one doesn't even need an introduction. Priyanka took on the role of female boxer Mary Kom and showed us her daily challenges from early life. From not having proper meals to growing up and carrying two children on her shoulder, literally, the woman grew many folds and how! Don Don does not call Roma his 'junglee billi' without a reason. Priyanka Chopra as a cop is hell-bent on finding clues so that she could take Don into custody and would go to all lengths to do that. The action that you see in Heads of State? Roma has done it all in Don already!
