The third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to all the January films getting postponed. After Delhi shut down cinemas, everyone expected the other state governments to follow suit. But except a handful of states, cinema halls are functioning, albeit at 50% occupancy and minus night shows. Pushpa: The Rise Part 01, starring Allu Arjun, thankfully has managed to attract audiences but the footfalls are naturally depleting week after week. The exhibitors stared at losses and even temporary closure due to the lack of content.However, on Monday, they all had a reason to cheer after it was announced that the Hindi version of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo would be released in cinemas on January 26. Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms, who released Pushpa: The Rise Part 01 in Hindi, also holds the rights to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. The latter also stars Allu Arjun and the original Telugu version was a blockbuster. In the words of Manish Shah, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is the biggest non-Baahubali hit down South. Hence, a lot of hopes are pinned on the Hindi version.Bollywood Hungama recently had an exclusive chat with Manish Shah and he shared some interesting details about the release plans of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos Hindi version. When asked when the theatrical trailer of the film will be out, he replied, Itll be out on Thursday, January 20. The teaser of the film was released on Tuesday, January 18.As for the screen count, Manish Shah said, We are hoping to release it in 2000 screens across the country.When asked about the promotional plans, Manish Shah made an interesting point, You can see the promos of the film on our channel, Dhinchak TV. Our whole promotional strategy is focused on the platform where our target audience is present. We plan to target the single screen audience. And they watch movie channels. So, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos teaser and trailer will play in full swing on the movie channels. Well also give ads in papers. We are not targeting the elite audience at all. Theyll anyway be informed about Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos release through social media. However, we want to inform viewers who are not on social media but who watch TV channels and read newspapers. Even with movie channels, we have picked those that have a substantial reach in both urban and rural areas, and where fans of dubbed films are present. Dhinchak TV is one such channel; its USP is that it only plays dubbed films.A trade expert said, The promotional campaign of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloos Hindi version is of less than 10 days. But itll be effective. Its a good way of cashing in on the success achieved by Allu Arjun with the Hindi version of Pushpa: The Rise Part 01. The original is a fantastic entertainer and just what the Hindi masses would want to watch on the big screen. For the exhibitors, Allu Arjun and his films have emerged as a godsend in these trying times.Besides Allu Arjun, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo also stars Pooja Hegde and Tabu.

Mona Singh has made a name for herself for her memorable roles on television, films, and the OTT platform, all set to be seen in &TVs Mauka-E-Vardaat. She is one of those artists who do not believe in confining to a particular type of role but loves experimenting with different genres and characters. She has impressed people with her different looks and created an everlasting impact on peoples minds.We all remember her as a nerd smiling behind the thick glasses, the girl next door who everyone can associate with and the simple yet gharelu bahu who always donned an Indian attire. However, this time the audience will witness her in a different avatar. Projecting the serious persona of her personality, Mona will go de-glam with no makeup and a simple look, as the host of the weekday riveting crime series, Mauka-E-Vardaat. Yes, you heard it right! While hosting on television has always been glamorous, the actor will break stereotypes with her minimalistic look!Elaborating further, Mona Singh, host of &TVs Mauka-E-Vardaat, shares, "Hosting a crime series is a serious work as it demands intensity, rawness and honesty for the story to appear compelling viewers. The role comes with many responsibilities, and one is building a connection between the viewers and the story within a limited timeframe. Much attention has been given to the look and costumes to make the character look simple yet strong. Also, a glamorous look may distract the viewers from the story and dilute the shows essence. Hence, I will have a de-glam look, keeping it as minimalistic and natural as possible, and the attire will be Indian wear. With minimal makeup and simple hairdo, the audience will see a new version of their very own Mona Singh. What is very interesting to me is that the makers have paid attention to the smallest details like wearing a leather strapped watch and simple jewellery pieces to keep everything balanced. &TVs Mauka-E-Vardaat has given me this wonderful opportunity to explore a different genre and present a different version of myself that many have not seen before. I am very excited and eagerly looking forward to it."
