Nandamuri Balakrishna's Lion which was earlier stated for May Day release, may not make it for that day now. The reason for the postponement is no proper response for the movie business. The makers are yet to close the business in majority of the areas. If they are opting for May Day release, they should release the film on own risk.
The movie may be pushed by a week or so to avert the situation. The makers while taking this decision missed a big oppurtunity May 1st release will have the advantage of an extended weekend due to May Day holiday on Friday. Lion Business is very dull as it is being directed by a new comer, Satyadeva.
No Craze even after Legend's Super Success
Over the years Nandamuri Balakrishna had lost his touch and only Boyapati Srinu is able to deliver with him. Also the theatrical trailer and music album of the film released recently did not impress the audience or trade. The makers of Lion will have a tough time marketing this film now. Lion is the 98th film in Balakrishna's career.
The actor will be seen as a CBI officer in one of the two roles he is playing in the movie. Trisha and Radhika Apte will be seen as female leads in the movie. Rudrapati Ramana Rao is producing the film under his SLV Cinema banner. Mani Sharma who gave several chart buster audios to Balayya in the past is composing the music for this film.
