Vishal vs Tamil Producers Council Controversy in Kollywood!
Tamil cinema's star, Vishal, is popular not only in Tamil but also in Telugu cinema for his action-packed films, which have garnered a massive following. Known for his direct approach, Vishal often finds himself in the midst of controversies. Recently, he has become the center of a new dispute with the Tamil Producers Council. In this context, he posted a defiant message on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Try to stop me." What prompted Vishal to post this? What is the nature of his controversy with the producers' council? Let’s delve into the details.
What happened?
Vishal previously served as the President of the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC). During his tenure, he faced allegations of misusing Rs. 12 crores. More recently, Vishal indirectly targeted the Tamil Nadu government and some producers in his comments about the monopoly over theaters in Tamil Nadu. He criticized the control a few individuals have over movie release timings and their overarching control of the cinema industry. Aggravated by these remarks, the TFPC imposed sanctions on him and issued an ultimatum that films should no longer be made with Vishal involved.
Vishal's Strong Warning!
Firmly opposing the orders of the TFPC, Vishal posted an interesting tweet, making it clear that he will not stop making films regardless of the circumstances. He warned that those who call themselves producers will never be able to produce films if they try to stop him. He also attempted to clarify the allegations regarding the misuse of funds in his post, asserting that the funds were used for the welfare of council members, providing health insurance to the elderly and economically struggling. "Didn’t Mr. Kathiresan know this decision was made with your team? Just do your job properly. There's a lot to be done for the industry, including dealing with double taxation and managing theater expenses. I will keep making films. Try to stop me," he wrote in a lengthy post on X, which has now gone viral. It remains to be seen how the Tamil Producers Council will respond to these comments.

How is Vishal popular?
Belonging to the Tamil film industry, Vishal, born to producer G.K. Reddy on August 29, 1975, made his film debut with 'Prema Chadarangam' (2004). Although primarily active in Tamil cinema, many of his films have been dubbed into Telugu, bringing him fame in Telugu-speaking regions as well. Films like 'Pandem Kodi', 'Pogaru', 'Bharani', 'Pooja', and 'Abhimanyudu' have made him popular among Telugu audiences. Recently, Vishal appeared in the Telugu audience with 'Rathnam' (2024), which did not make a significant impact. He is currently acting in 'Thupparivaalan 2', a sequel to the 2017 film 'Detective'.

Pawan Kalyan's Movies: Is 'OG' Set to Release Before 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'?
With Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's entry into AP politics, his focus on cinema has significantly diminished. As a result, his movies 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'OG', and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' have been pending for some time. However, there has been recent movement in these projects, except for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The other two have resumed shooting, and the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has also been announced by the makers. It was believed that among Pawan’s three projects, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' would release first. But now, the situation seems to have changed according to the buzz online.
Will OG Release First?
'OG', directed by young director Sujeeth, is in Pawan Kalyan’s pipeline. The latest buzz suggests that 'OG' might be released before 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Young and dynamic director Sujeeth is reportedly planning to release the movie quickly. Given the higher buzz around 'OG', the film team is considering releasing it first. They are planning to quickly complete Pawan’s shooting part and start post-production work. Discussions with Pawan are underway to announce the release date soon, which has got Pawan’s fans very excited.
Hari Hara Must Step Back!
'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', starring Pawan, is an upcoming period action drama. This film was the first among his three projects to start. Director Krish launched the movie back in 2020. Despite several breaks, Krish has completed 60% of the shooting. However, Krish stepped away from the project during the election period as Pawan was fully engaged in politics. Producer Ratnam’s son, director Jyothi Krishna, has taken over the responsibilities to complete the remaining shooting. With Pawan’s consent post-elections, they have also announced that the film will hit theaters on March 28, 2025. Now, with 'OG' potentially releasing first, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' might face new challenges. If Pawan supports the early release of 'OG', analysts believe that the team behind 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' will have no choice but to delay their release. It remains to be seen what will happen.
Why All the Hype Around OG?
Of all Pawan Kalyan’s current projects, 'OG' is considered very special. For the first time in his career, Pawan is playing a gangster role. Fans have already decided that this movie will be something extraordinary after seeing Pawan's acting in the glimpses of 'OG'. The film also stars Priyanka Mohan, with Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi playing the antagonist. Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Prakash Raj, Harish Uthaman, and Abhimanyu Singh hold key roles. The makers plan to release the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Director Sujeeth previously mentioned a connection with Japanese elements in the film, raising fan expectations to a whole new level.

What About 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'?
After the blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh', Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar are reuniting for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Until the AP elections, there were frequent updates raising expectations high, but Harish Shankar has been quiet for a while. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' going back on sets, fans are hopeful that 'Ustaad' will soon resume. In this film, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is playing a beloved police role, which has greatly excited the fans. With two glimpses already released and well-received, the industry insiders suggest that an update on this movie will also be coming soon.

Mokshagna Teja: Bollywood Star Hero in Mokshagna's First Movie.. Prasanth Varma's Big Plan!
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the silver screen debut of Nandamuri Balakrishna's son, Mokshagna Teja, for a long time. Now, the Nandamuri heir is ready to make his entry into the film industry. Mokshagna, who previously appeared a bit chubby, has recently transformed into a slim and heroic look. Director Prasanth Varma of 'Hanu-Man' fame is set to introduce him to the Telugu audience. In this context, a news piece related to Mokshagna Teja's movie is making rounds in the industry, bringing immense joy to Nandamuri fans. Let's delve into those details.
Amitabh in a Special Role!
Balakrishna has entrusted the responsibility of introducing his son Mokshagna to the industry to young director Prasanth Varma. Gaining nationwide recognition with 'Hanu-Man,' Prasanth Varma is planning meticulously to introduce the Nandamuri heir on a grand scale. It is reported that he has already prepared a pan-India story. In this scenario, Prasanth Varma is considering bringing Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan onboard for a crucial role. The director believes that only Big B can do complete justice to this character and is expected to approach him soon regarding the same.
Prasanth Varma's Big Plan!
Sources suggest that director Prasanth Varma plans to make a grand entry into Bollywood by casting Amitabh in Mokshagna's film. He believes that having such a legendary actor in the movie will also benefit Mokshagna. There is also buzz in the industry that this film with Mokshagna will be a part of Prasanth Varma's cinematic universe. Strong speculations indicate that the Nandamuri heir will be seen in the role of Abhimanyu. It is also said that several prominent actors will be part of the cast. An official announcement regarding these details is expected soon.
Big B Said No to Balayya!
In the past, director Krishna Vamsi planned a movie with the combination of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Amitabh Bachchan. Reports at that time suggested that Big B politely declined when approached for the project, leading to its shelving. With this history, there is curiosity about whether Amitabh, who once said no to Balayya, will act in his son's debut film. Additionally, there is information that Sreeleela is being considered as the female lead opposite Mokshagna in this movie. Key updates regarding the film are expected to be announced soon.
Why Prasanth Varma?
Everyone has been curious about who would introduce Mokshagna Teja, the third-generation hero from the Nandamuri lineage, to the industry. Names of star directors like Boyapati were also floated. However, Balayya chose young director Prasanth Varma for his son's debut, and there seems to be a strong reason behind this decision. Prasanth Varma's name resonated across the country with 'Hanu-Man,' showcasing his talent to all. Having experience working with young heroes like Teja Sajja, Balayya believes that Prasanth can present Mokshagna effectively. Moreover, their personal rapport might have influenced Balayya's decision to favor Prasanth Varma.
In a Handsome Look..
Photos of Nandamuri Mokshagna sporting a handsome look have recently surfaced on the internet. In these pictures, Mokshagna mesmerized everyone with his dashing appearance, looking completely fit and surprising many. He conveyed through his new look that he is a perfect star hero material. Nandamuri fans are ecstatic seeing Mokshagna's makeover, commenting that he has transformed exactly as they had envisioned Balakrishna's son to be. They have been posting that the time has come for another Nandamuri heir to step into the industry.
