Gautham Tinnanuri�s Magic � Delayed or Forgotten Tale?

If Kingdom becomes a hit, it might open doors for Magic. A successful film would raise Gautham�s profile and bring more attention to his other work.

Gautham Tinnanuri�s Magic � Delayed or Forgotten Tale?

While everyone is talking about Kingdom, many fans haven�t forgotten Magic. Directed by Gautham Tinnanuri and backed by the Sitara banner, Magic features fresh faces like Sara Arjun, Anmol Kajani, Akash Srinivas, and Siddharth Tanuku. The film had some early buzz, especially with a song by Anirudh Ravichander. But the hype didn�t last. The lyrical video dropped months ago and couldn�t even pull 2 million views, which is unusual for anything Anirudh touches.

So what happened? The film�s post-production hit a pause. A few parts need corrections and reshoots. But Gautham is caught up with Kingdom and won�t have time until August. Even then, there�s another problem�release dates. From now until December, big pan-India films have taken all the prime slots. If Magic releases with tough competition, it might not survive. The team wants a solo release window, but right now, that doesn�t exist.

If Kingdom becomes a hit, it might open doors for Magic. A successful film would raise Gautham�s profile and bring more attention to his other work. Plus, with Anirudh on the music and a youth-focused story, Magic could find support in Tamil Nadu and beyond. But that all depends on how Kingdom performs.

No official word has come from the producers, and Vijay Deverakonda isn�t speaking about it yet. Magic is just waiting�quiet, unfinished, and unsure of when it�ll get its shot.
