In 2024, the Tollywood industry is set to witness an avalanche of sequels with high anticipation from fans, audiences, and trade circles alike. Leading the pack are Allu Arjun’s “Pushpa 2” and Kamal Haasan’s “Indian 2,” both generating immense buzz.
“Pushpa 2,” directed by Sukumar, is poised for an Independence Day weekend release, while “Indian 2” by Shankar might hit screens in August or September, a shift from its initial summer plans. Several other sequels are in the pipeline, including Rishab Shetty’s “Kantara,” slated for a late 2024 or early 2025 release.
Nara Rohith’s “Prathinidi” set for Republic Day weekend, directed by TV5 Murthy. Additionally, RGV’s “Vyooham” is bifurcated, with the first part releasing on 29th December and the sequel planned for Republic weekend in 2024.
Further adding to the sequel frenzy are films like Ys Jagan Mohan Reddy’s “Yatra 2,” Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s “Tillu Square,” Ram Pothineni’s “Double Ismart,” Adivi Sesh’s “Goodachari Sequel,” and a follow-up to the successful “Matthu Vadalara.” With a mix of political interest and box office expectations, these films, ranging from blockbusters to smaller hits, mark a significant trend in the Telugu film industry for the upcoming year.
