The renowned Tollywood production house, Maitri Movie Makers, known for blockbuster films like ‘Pushpa: The Rise,’ is expanding its horizons by approaching several prominent Bollywood actors. Among them, they are reportedly in discussions with Sunny Deol for a mass entertainer directed by Gopichand Malineni. In a strategic move, Maitri Movie Makers is now also venturing into Tamil and Malayalam cinema.
Rumors Surrounding Aamir Khan
Recent reports hinted at the possibility of Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, joining the cast of one of Maitri Movie Makers’ upcoming projects. However, a recent article from Telugu 360 indicates that these claims are entirely false. Although Maitri Movie Makers did have a meeting with Aamir Khan, no concrete agreements have been finalized.
Clarification on Collaboration with Aamir Khan
A reliable source stated, “There’s nothing confirmed yet, so these discussions are just speculation. While there has been ongoing chatter for some time, it may take a while for any decisions to materialize. There is no doubt that Maitri Movie Makers would love to collaborate with the legendary Aamir Khan, but they need to settle on a unique script and consider other factors. So, it’s too early to discuss this matter.”
Misleading Reports about Director Lokesh Kanagaraj
In addition to the rumors about Aamir Khan, reports had surfaced suggesting that Indian filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj was also in talks to direct a pan-Indian film. However, these claims have been debunked as well. Although Maitri Movie Makers had reached out to Kanagaraj for a project, no commitments have been made publicly. Kanagaraj, who has directed hits like ‘Leo,’ ‘Vikram,’ and ‘Master,’ did express interest but has not finalized any deals.
Upcoming Projects from Maitri Movie Makers
Maitri Movie Makers has several exciting projects in the pipeline, including a film titled ‘Fauji.’ After his appearance in ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ Prabhas is set to star in ‘Fauji,’ although an official announcement regarding this film is still awaited. This film will be directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and is anticipated to be one of the most significant productions in Indian cinema.
Details About ‘Fauji’
The plot of ‘Fauji’ is still under wraps, but it is confirmed that Prabhas will be seen alongside Mrunal Thakur. The production house recently conducted a ceremonial puja in Hyderabad on August 17 to kick off the project. They shared images from the ceremony on their social media platform. This film is expected to be an action-adventure set in a period era, appealing to a wide audience.
