Tollywood Lacks Unity: Thaman at Akhanda 2 Success Meet_我的网站
A | At a time when the makers of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 expected a lot of support from the industry when the film was suddenly postponed, they reportedly got very little backing, according to the film’s composer Thaman S. At the Akhanda 2 press conference held in Hyderabad on Sunday, the music director’s comments hogged the limelight more than anything else. He expressed concern over detractors for spreading negativity about Akhanda 2's financial issues.
We are not here as a strong unit: Thaman
Akhanda 2 was supposed to release on December 5 but arrived a week later. Thaman questioned the timing of the court case (filed by Eros International), which could have been filed earlier too and why it was only done at the time of release. “This indicates how the world (Tollywood) lacks unity, and we are not here as a strong unit. Unity is strength, and we all should inculcate such thinking.” Thaman stated that after the film was postponed, many spoke about Akhanda 2 in the media but none came to the production and spoke to the producers. “That would have given the filmmakers a lot of strength. Everyone says that producers are nice people but no one comes forward to help and sort the issue. A film is a collaborative effort and the need of the hour is to pat each other.”
‘Tollywood is inspiring’
Thaman’s comments have once again turned the spotlight on the film industry. He accentuated the need to ‘help each other’ and grow as a cohesive unit, and not individually. “I work in multiple industries, and technicians talk so proudly about how Tollywood has been inspiring.” Talking about what went into composing music for Akhanda 2, Thaman revealed that around 600 technicians worked only on the music departmentò. “We took around 77 days to work on the background score, and only the interval block took around 11 days. My entire team was there throughout supporting me.”Also Read: Akhanda 2 Review: An Unsubtle War Against Terror and Logic。 2026年7月4日,火箭队完成了一笔耐人寻味的交易——将多里安·芬尼-史密斯和三个次轮选秀权送往夏洛特黄蜂队。火箭没有换回任何球员,只得到了一个价值1333万美元的交易特例。
这笔“4换0”的交易让不少球迷直呼“亏麻了”。
B | 但这个有效期仅一年的1333万特例,恰恰是火箭休赛期操盘中最具想象空间的一枚棋子。它到底会给谁?
特例从何而来?
这笔特例的本质,是火箭“倒贴”送走芬尼-史密斯后换来的“交易额度”。芬尼-史密斯上赛季受脚踝重伤困扰,状态严重下滑,而他剩余三年合同每年都是1333万美元。火箭送走他后节省了超过2000万美元的薪金和奢侈税支出,同时将总薪资降至第一土豪线以下。

规则上,这个特例允许火箭直接吸收一位年薪不超过1333.5万美元的球员,无需送出匹配薪金的球员。目前火箭14名在册球员总薪资约2.0041亿美元,距离奢侈税线仅剩1.41万美元空间,但只要不突破第二土豪线(2.2169亿美元),仍有约2100万美元的操作空间。

潜在目标:谁配得上这个特例?
火箭媒体人Jackson Gatlin在《Locked On Rockets》播客中建议:如果新赛季初段战绩不错,火箭完全可以用这个特例+一个首轮签去交易一位年薪1330万以下的实力派球员。以下是目前市场上年薪≤1333.5万、有可能被摆上货架的球员:
后卫线
· 以赛亚·乔(活塞):年薪1132万,还剩2年合同。顶级射手,上赛季三分命中率超过40%,完美适配火箭的“魔球”体系。但活塞未必愿意放人。
· 奥科罗(公牛):年薪1181万,1年到期合同。
E | 防守悍将,但公牛正在重建,交易难度较大。
F |
· 马丁(独行侠):年薪1000万,还剩2年合同。独行侠同样处于重建期。
锋线
· 奥萨·汤普森(活塞):年薪1112万,1年到期合同。
