In an age where streaming connects our content to the rest of the world and creates a brand for our films abroad, the need to have good quality mainstream cinema represented from the country at the highest level is a given. Netflix has been making its presence felt in the South, acquiring some big tentpole films in recent times. The streaming platform seems to have secured the exclusive rights to some of the most talked about and anticipated Telugu films of the year. Apart from Prabhas Salaar which was released on Netflix recently, the roster is full of titles either in production or in various stages of post-production.
Below are a few of the Telugu Cinema Titles Coming on Netflix in 2024:
Director: Sukumar
Cast: Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil
The popularity and cultural impact of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa (2021) needs no introduction. This rags-to-riches story of a red sandalwood smuggler, who gets embroiled in an ego tussle with a local police chief, is one of the most entertaining takes on themes of an underdog's innate search for identity and the way the world perceives one who thinks he has achieved it all. Be it the leading man’s masterful swag, the world building or the scale of execution common in the films of Sukumar. Pushpa 2: The Rule is only getting wilder than its predecessor.
Director: Koratala Shiva
Cast: Junior NTR, Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan
Pegged as one of the most anticipated Telugu films, this is Junior NTR’s next after the blockbuster RRR (2022). Helmed by hitmaker Koratala Shiva, the film also features Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. The recently released teaser offered a glimpse into the world of Devara accompanied by Anirudh’s thunderous score, and the wait just got better.
Director: Bobby
Cast: Nandamuri Balakrishna
Nandamuri Balakrishna will be next seen in the yet-to-be-titled action thriller NBK 109, which is directed by Bobby. The team is currently in the early stages of production of the film and released a first-look poster featuring deadly weapons with the caption, “ "Blood bath ka brand name" and "violence ka visiting card," which sums up the film's world.
Director: Gowtam Tinnanuri
Cast: Vijay Deverakonda
The union between the acclaimed director of Jersey (2019) and Vijay Deverakonda has been in the air for some time now. Netflix has already bagged the rights to this project that’s still in the nascent stages of its production. While the other details are kept under wrap, the period drama will see Vijay play a spy entrapped in a world of deceit and conspiracies.
