TFI Producers Betting High On Water Action

The budgets of star hero films in the Telugu film industry have increased significantly over the past few years, and the makers are trying to come up with innovative sequences to present a unique experience to the audiences. Even producers aren’t backing spending huge amounts of money to support directors’ vision. As a result, we have been able to see many expensive and stunning action sequences in the past.

One of the most challenging action scenes is water action sequences. If pulled off well, these scenes would remain highlights of the film. Until now, we have seen underwater sequences and water fights in films like Devara and RRR. Now, we may see such scenes in the upcoming biggies as well. Here is a look at them:

Vishwambhara:

Directed by Vassishta of Bimbisara fame, Vishwambhara features Megastar Chiranjeevi in the lead role. According to reports, there will be a muddy water fight in this film, and we hear that it will be one of the major highlights as well. Reportedly Vishwambhara is eyeing a release in July or August.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu:

SSMB 29 may hit the screens in 2027.

Devara 2:
