Final shooting schedule of Nithiin starrer Maestro starts today

Nithiin will next be seen in Maestro which is a remake of the Hindi film Andhadhun. The shooting of the film was put on hold due to the pandemic. But, today, the final shooting schedule of the film has started.

The makers took to Twitter to inform everyone about it. Sreshth Movies tweeted, “Youth Star @actor_nithiin ‘s next crazy project #Maestro commenced its final shoot schedule Today in Hyderabad!? @MerlapakaG @SreshthMovies @tamannaahspeaks @NabhaNatesh #SudhakarReddy #NikithaReddy #RajKumarAkella @mahathi_sagar.”


While Nithiin steps into the shoes of Ayushmann Khurana for the Telugu remake, Tamannaah Bhatia will be seen portraying the character played by Tabu, Nabha Natesh will play the role which was played by Radhika Apte in the Hindi film.

Maestro was slated to release on 11th June 2021, but due to the pandemic, the release date has been postponed. The makers have not yet announced the new release date of the film.

A few days ago, while talking about the film Tamannaah had told Mid-day, “After taking up the project, I made a conscious decision not to watch the film (Hindi) again. I wanted to take a different approach to the part because story-wise, we haven’t tweaked much from the original.”

Talking about comparisons with Tabu, the actress had said, “Now, I’m not worried about comparisons. We have offered an honest take on the story. Tabu’s appeal in the original is different; I have brought my own interpretation here.”

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Andhadhun was a hit at the box office, and it had won multiple awards including three National Awards, Best Hindi Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
