Releases from August 15: All heroes fight for freedom from Flops

Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni and Chiyaan Vikram are heroes who are desperately waiting for a hit as they have not had any success recently.

Ravi Teja hasn't had a hit since 'Dhamaka', which hit theaters in 2022. His recent films 'Tiger Nageshwar Rao' and 'Eagle' were colossal flops at the box office. Now he is pinning his hopes on Harish Shankar's directorial 'Mr. Bachchan', a remake of the Hindi film 'Raid'.

As for Ram Pothineni, his last hit was 'iSmart Shankar', which released in the pre-COVID era of 2019. Since then, all his films – Red, The Warrior and Skanda – have been major box office flops. Now, he is back after five years with the sequel to his only hit franchise, 'Double iSmart', directed by Puri Jagannath.

Next is Chiyaan Vikram, whose last solo hit was Shankar's 'I', which released in 2015. Since then, he has had flops with eight films. However, he was lucky to be a part of 'Ponniyin Selvan', although it was not his solo hit as it featured several stars. Technically, the new Pa. Ranjith film 'Thangalaan', if it does well at the box office, could be considered his first solo hit in nearly a decade.

Thus, all three heroes are eagerly awaiting success and are scheduled to hit cinemas tomorrow, August 15, with the same name.

Although it is Independence Day for all Indians, these heroes also want to put their 'flop record' behind them. We wish them the freedom they desire.
