Cast: Priyadarshi, Nabha Natesh, Brahmanandam, Vishnu, Krishna Teja, Ananya Nagalla, Muralidhar Goud, among others.



Written and Directed by: Aswin Ram



Music by: Vivek Sagar



Cinematography: Naresh Ramadurai



Dialogues by: Hemanth



Producers: K. Niranjan Reddy, Chaitanya Reddy



Release Date: July 19, 2024



The unique romantic comedy entertainer 'Darling' starring Priyadarshi and Nabha Natesh, and directed by Aswin Ram, has already captivated audiences with its promotional material. Produced under the banner of PrimeShow Entertainment by K. Niranjan Reddy and Mrs. Chaitanya Reddy, the film released worldwide on July 19th..







Plot



Since childhood, Raghav (Priyadarsi) has dreamed of marriage and a honeymoon. Working as an agent in a travel agency, he finally seems poised to realize this dream when he becomes engaged to Nandini (Ananya Nagalla), a psychologist chosen by his father (Muralidhar Goud). However, his plans unravel when Nandini leaves him at the altar for another man. Heartbroken and on the brink of despair, Raghav's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Anandi (Nabha Natesh). The two quickly fall in love and marry, but on their wedding night, Raghav discovers that Anandi has multiple personality disorder, hosting five distinct personalities: Aadi, Maya, Jhansi, Papa, and Srisri. The unfolding challenges Raghav faces with Anandi’s complex condition promise a story filled with intrigue and emotion. To uncover the full story, one must head to the theaters.







Performance



Priyadarsi, once again, charms as Raghav, fitting perfectly into his role with his distinctive comedic timing, delighting the audience. Nabha Natesh excels in a challenging role with various facets, carrying the film on her shoulders with a career-best performance. She brilliantly displays the variations of her split personalities. The funny scenes between Nabha Natesh and Priyadarsi are engaging, though the dubbing for Nabha Natesh's role could have been better. Supporting actors like Ananya Nagalla and Muralidhar Goud play their parts within limits. Guest appearances by Suhas, Brahmanandam, and Niharika Konidela also shine.







Direction



Director Aswin Ram attempts to present the complex concept of multiple personality disorder in a humorous light. The first half is swiftly paced with sequences of wedding preparations, a halted marriage, a suicide attempt, and the quick marriage to Anandi all unfolding in an entertaining manner. While the first half thrills and amuses the audience, the story seems to dull down in the second half. The backstory of the heroine and the repetitive narrative might bore the audience. The climax is particularly confusing. Despite the innovation, director Aswin Ram struggles to keep the film engaging throughout.







Technically



On the technical front, the cinematography is a major plus for the film, providing fresh visuals. Vivek Sagar’s music, however, does not make a significant impact. The editing could have been tighter. The production values are high, with no compromises on the budget.







Plus Points



- Performances by Priyadarsi and Nabha Natesh



- Comedy



- Cinematography



Minus Points

Tollywood Celebrity Baby Names Revealed: Meanings Behind the Unique Names of Star Kids Like Klin Kaara, Arha, and Bhargav Ram


The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas made a sensational impact at the Indian box office, known to all. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this futuristic mythology entertainer amassed over Rs. 1100 crore, receiving widespread acclaim for its massive sets and Hollywood-level VFX work, stunning all viewers as a visual wonder. Meanwhile, 'Vishwambhara', another upcoming film starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, seems to be following in 'Kalki’s' footsteps, with talks suggesting Megastar is taking a leaf out of darling Prabhas’s book.



Following 'Kalki’s' Path in 'Vishwambhara'!



For the 'Kalki 2898 AD' film, director Nag Ashwin constructed 16 massive sets that greatly contributed to the CG work, providing a fantastic visual feast for the audience. The 'Vishwambhara' movie team is reportedly adopting a similar strategy. Director Vashista is striving to create an entirely new world for this film, with 8 large sets already constructed and plans for another 4 underway. Art Director AS Prakash is working hard to create these spectacular sets, currently being built at Annapurna Studios.







'Vishwambhara' to Top After 'Kalki'!



After 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Vishwambhara' is said to be the next big film with extensive set constructions, expected to deliver a visual treat on par with 'Kalki'. Megastar Chiranjeevi is reportedly playing a unique role that he has never attempted before, promising to thrill the audience with action sequences reminiscent of hero Prabhas. Chiranjeevi himself shared a video of his workout preparation for the film, indicating his dedication to the role. Trisha is co-starring with him in this movie.







Megastar's Dissatisfaction



Recent buzz suggests that Megastar Chiranjeevi is somewhat dissatisfied with 'Vishwambhara'. He has recently reviewed the footage from the shooting and has expressed concerns about certain scenes that deviate from the script. He has reportedly suggested changes to director Vashista. This has led to talks within the industry about potential reshoots for those scenes. Despite this, the makers have announced 'Vishwambhara' as a Sankranti gift, though there is speculation about whether the release date might change due to the reshoots.







Bollywood Actor as the Villain



In 'Vishwambhara', Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor is playing the villain opposite Chiranjeevi. He previously impressed in a special role in 'Devadas', starring Nagarjuna and Nani, and has now returned to act in 'Vishwambhara'. Originally, Rana Daggubati was offered the villain role, but he declined due to similarities with another character he was portraying. Several scenes with Kunal Kapoor have already been filmed. The film is being produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod. Alongside Trisha, Aashika Ranganath is also playing a lead role, with music composed by M.M. Keeravani.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (19th July)


Pan-India star Prabhas is set to feature in the upcoming film 'The Raja Saab,' directed by Maruti. Fans and movie lovers have been eagerly awaiting updates on this film. The makers recently announced an exciting update for Prabhas’ birthday, and in line with this, a special poster was released on October 23rd. However, unexpectedly, this poster has become the subject of extensive trolling. Netizens are criticizing it for not living up to their expectations.



What’s Prabhas' Look Like?



In 'The Raja Saab,' directed by Maruti, Prabhas is joined by heroines Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. For Prabhas' birthday on Wednesday, the movie team surprised fans with a special video along with a motion poster. In it, Prabhas appeared in a regal look, sitting on a throne with a cigar in mouth, which quickly went viral. Despite significant positive responses to the poster, some are trolling it intensely.

Trolls for That Poster!



Some netizens expressed their disappointment with the latest poster of 'Raja Saab,' comparing Prabhas holding a cigar to Bikshu Yadav from the movie 'Sai.' They criticized the film's team for choosing such a poster for a birthday release, claiming it inadvertently trolls Prabhas. Another netizen commented that Prabhas in the poster is giving tough competition to Venkatesh's look in 'Nagavalli.' Some even thought the VFX work in the motion video was so poor that it looked fan-made, stirring significant discussion on social media. Darling fans are responding robustly, suggesting that the trolls are merely unable to handle Prabhas' success.

"Prabhas’ ‘The Raja Saab’ Poster Sparks Controversy: Fans Divided Over the Latest Birthday Surprise!


Pan-India star Prabhas has won millions of fans with his acting and his kindness. Particularly recognized for his role in 'Baahubali,' he brought Telugu cinema to a global stage. It can be said that the records created by Prabhas as a movie hero are unparalleled. Today (October 23) is Prabhas' birthday. As he steps into his 45th year, here are some intriguing details about his personal and film career for you.



Average in Studies



Prabhas was an average student academically. He wasn't the type to sit in class for long periods and looked forward to the drill period eagerly. He was known for skipping classes to play games.







Forgetful



Prabhas is somewhat forgetful. He shared in an interview that his friends used to call him 'Ghajini' since his school days. He recounted how he often forgot his pen during exams and would leave his book in one place and forget where it was. He has admitted that he has improved a bit since his childhood.







'You, a Hero?'



At the beginning of his career, when Prabhas told a friend that he wanted to become a film hero, his friend laughed and said, 'You, a hero?' When he shared this with his family, they were initially shocked but later sent him to Satyanand in Visakhapatnam for training. After three months of training, he received the offer for 'Eeswar.'







The Reason Behind the Darling Call



Prabhas frequently uses the word 'Darling' to address his friends and close ones. He explained that he feels uncomfortable calling someone brother or 'anna,' which is why he prefers calling them 'Darling.' Noticing this, director Puri Jagannadh popularized this nickname through the film 'Bujjigadu,' and it became even more popular with the movie 'Darling.'







Guest Roles



The Rebel Star Prabhas appeared in a guest role in the Hindi movie 'Action Jackson' (2014) directed by dance master Prabhu Deva starring Ajay Devgn. In the song 'Punjabi Mast,' he danced alongside Sonakshi Sinha. Decades later, he is set to appear in a guest role in the movie 'Kannappa' and gave a voice-over for the movie 'Denikaina Ready.'







Two Films with His Uncle



The late actor Krishnam Raju was Prabhas’ uncle, and Prabhas entered the industry as his heir. Prabhas deeply admired his uncle and acted with him in films like 'Billa' and 'Rebel.' Prabhas often shares that these two films provided him with many sweet memories.







Thrice With Each



In his career, Prabhas has acted in the most films with two heroines, Trisha and Anushka, sharing the screen three times each. He starred with Trisha in 'Bujjigadu,' 'Varsham,' and 'Pournami.' With Anushka, he acted in 'Billa,' 'Mirchi,' and 'Baahubali.'







The First South Indian Hero



Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor.







If Not an Actor...



Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (15th&nbsp; August)


Pan-Indian star Prabhas, who is on a roll with a string of hits, has given his fans another surprise treat. Today at 5:03 PM, the team behind his next film, "Raja Saab," revealed an interesting update.



How was the glimpse?



Prabhas appeared spectacular on a bike against a colorful background. In his charming getup, he looked handsome as ever. He mesmerized as he stepped off the bike holding a bouquet of flowers, playfully admiring his reflection in a car mirror while plucking a flower, which was a delightful sight.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFZMBqyXkqQ




Prabhas, the Pan-Indian Rebel Star, continues to maintain strong momentum with consecutive successes. He focuses on delivering the content his fans crave and has achieved significant victories. Notably, his film "Kalki" crossed Rs. 1100 crore, solidifying his position as the number one hero in India.



In the Romantic Horror Genre...



Stepping out from the success of "Kalki," Prabhas is now focusing on his future projects. He is actively participating in the shooting of "The Raja Saab" under the direction of Maruthi. After "Kalki," while he was set to act in "Spirit" directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it seems Prabhas has been shooting extensively for "The Raja Saab." Known for enthralling audiences with mass action films, Darling seems to have taken a break to choose the romantic horror genre. They are ready to release "The Raja Saab" first, which is being filmed in this genre.







Surprise at 5 PM



The promotional images already released from this film have captivated audiences and fans alike. In keeping with this, the makers of "Raja Saab" delivered a surprise by releasing a glimpse on Monday (July 29) at 5:03 PM. Fans, affectionately called 'Darlings', are raving about it on social media, praising Prabhas's handsome look and posting comments like "awesome". They are also complimenting the superb background music in the glimpse. Music for this film is being provided by composer Thaman. The filmmakers are planning to release the movie on April 10 next year.







The Hindi Song Remix



Director Maruthi is considering remixing a super hit old Hindi song for "The Raja Saab." Discussions are also ongoing with music director Thaman about this remix. Currently, the makers are considering three songs for the final selection. There is strong buzz in film circles that the evergreen Bollywood song "O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala '' might be remade.







In the 1940 Backdrop...



On the other hand, Prabhas has signed a project with "Sita Ramam" fame Hanu Raghavapudi. Rumors suggest that this movie is titled "Fauji." With "Spirit" requiring more time for pre-production, Prabhas has given the green light to "Fauji." Director Hanu Raghavapudi has started preparations to begin shooting this film in October.







"Fauji" is expected to be a period drama set in the 1940s, depicting the British era. Mrunal Thakur is likely to appear as the heroine opposite Prabhas. "Fauji" means soldier, so Prabhas is also expected to be portrayed as a soldier in this film. Prominent production house Mythri Movie Makers is ready to produce this film on a large budget, with Vishal Chandrashekhar set to provide the music. Official updates related to this movie are expected to arrive soon.

Weekend OTT Suggestions: Guaranteed Double Entertainment This Weekend!


Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday is celebrated like a festival by his fans. Even celebrities extend their wishes on this occasion. However, Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, who became Megastar Chiranjeevi, did not reach the heights of fame effortlessly. He faced numerous obstacles and challenges throughout his journey, eventually earning a special place in the hearts of the audience as the Megastar. Today (August 22), on his birthday, let's look at the events and factors that elevated him to such a high status.



The Incident That Fueled Chiru’s Determination



Before entering the industry, Chiranjeevi lived in Madras with Hari Prasad and Sudhakar. They used to watch previews of movies distributed by Poornachandra Pictures and would give their ratings. On one such occasion, they sat in the front row to watch a movie. However, the hero of the movie, along with the driver and makeup man, came in and forcibly took their seats. Chiranjeevi and his team had no choice but to stand and watch the movie. When the wife of the company’s head asked, “How was the movie?” Chiru responded in anger, “Aunty, we came as your guests, but that hero made us stand by the door. We endured it because we didn’t want to cause trouble for you. If I don’t become the number one hero in this industry, you can ask me why!” True to his word, he reached that level.







From Small Roles to Hero Status



Chiranjeevi entered Tollywood in 1978. After many attempts, he got his first opportunity in the movie 'Punadi Rallu.' Interestingly, the film 'Pranam Khareedu,' in which he acted later, was released first. This film introduced him to the audience. While he was trying to establish himself as a hero, some people demanded that he play small roles in other heroes’ films. In one instance, Chiru mentioned that he acted in those roles, hoping the time would come when he could prove himself. He conveyed that despite the obstacles, one could reach their goal by staying positive.







The Reason Behind Chiru’s Mesmerizing Dance



In the early days of his career, Chiranjeevi’s dance was not exceptional. After completing a song shoot, he asked his manager how his performance was. The manager replied, “What’s there in it? You just did what the dancers behind you did. You need to show your uniqueness.” From then on, Chiru started going beyond what the choreographers instructed, captivating audiences with his extra effort. Chiranjeevi also once mentioned that film critic Gudipoodi Srihari played a role in helping him improve his acting.







From Reviewer to Padma Vibhushan



Megastar Chiranjeevi stays as far away from negativity as possible, which is why he always appears energetic. He strongly believes that listening to failure stories can lead to discouragement. He credits his immense self-confidence as the key to his success. Starting his career as a reviewer, he went on to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India, for his contributions to the film industry. Notably, he had already received the Padma Bhushan before this.







Supporting Young Heroes



Megastar Chiranjeevi is always at the forefront of encouraging newcomers. No matter how busy he is, he attends events for young heroes if invited. Speaking on this once, he said, “I don’t feel proud of this. When I entered the industry, I wished someone would encourage me. Now, when small heroes come to me and invite me, I see myself in them. I pat them on the back and encourage them as much as I can.”







As the Darling Child of Art



Chiranjeevi frequently responds to the issues in the industry and the struggles of film workers, offering help to the best of his ability. When some people called him the "Big Support" of the Telugu film industry, Chiru humbly denied it, saying, “I am just the darling child of art, not something big.”







Leading in Charitable Activities



Among Telugu heroes actively participating in charitable activities, Megastar Chiranjeevi stands out. Through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, he has brought light into many lives and continues to extend a helping hand to those in need. In his four-decade-long acting career, he has garnered millions of fans and won several awards, including three Nandi Awards for Best Actor. Currently, he is busy with his 156th film, ‘Vishwambhara,’ directed by Vashishta, set to release on January 10 next year.

With her breathtaking beauty, she is keeping the young fans hooked.







As for Ketika Sharma's personal details, she was born on December 24, 1995, in Delhi where she also completed her education.







After finishing her studies, she immediately turned to modeling and became quite popular on social media with her Dubsmash videos.







This caught the eye of star director Puri Jagannadh, and she made her debut as a heroine in the film 'Romantic' (2021), starring alongside Puri's son Aakash.







Although the film didn't succeed greatly, the Telugu audience was captivated by her charm.







Following that, she had the opportunity to work in 'Lakshya' starring Naga Shaurya, but unfortunately, this film also didn't bring her success.







She then acted in 'Ranga Ranga Vaibhavanga' with mega hero Panja Vaisshnav Tej, but this too failed to meet her expectations despite high hopes.







Last year, she appeared in 'Bro', a film featuring Pawan and Sai Dharam Tej, which was successful, making her hopeful for her future.







However, since 'Bro', Ketika hasn’t secured any film roles and has been waiting for a movie offer for the past year.







Recently, Ketika responded to the lack of opportunities and series of flops, stating that all one can do is try their best and it's up to the people to give the outcome.







In an effort to attract more cinema offers, she is increasing her glamour quotient.







She continues to share hot photos on social media periodically, attempting to draw the attention of directors and producers.







Currently, Ketika Sharma's Instagram account is followed by 3.3 million people, and her photos trend within moments of being posted.






Ketika Sharma Hot: Pushing the Limits with Daring Outfits!


Entering the industry as the heir of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna has undertaken experiments that no other hero would dare to attempt. He fearlessly moved forward in his career with a variety of unique films, earning a distinct recognition in genres ranging from mass and class to spiritual and romantic. He successfully introduced his sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, as the third generation from the Akkineni family into the industry. Behind Nagarjuna's success in the industry are some daring steps. Let's learn about them on the occasion of his birthday today (August 29).



'Siva' Sensation



Typically, early in their careers, most heroes opt for safe stories. However, Nagarjuna made a big impact with the experimental film 'Siva'. He took a significant risk by giving Ram Gopal Varma, who had never even been an assistant director, a chance to direct. This daring step turned his career around, creating a sensation with 'Siva' in a way no one anticipated. This film not only changed the trajectory of Nag's career but also altered the course of Tollywood, challenging the traditional perceptions of a hero's role with 'Siva'.







Diversity a Priority



With 'Siva', Nagarjuna became a top hero in the industry. While typically a single hit film would set a repetitive pattern in stories, Nagarjuna planned his career to ensure diversity in every film. This strategy led him to star in a supernatural heist film 'Govinda Govinda', a family drama 'Ninne Pelladatha', and an action entertainer 'Hello Brother', continually delighting his fans and establishing a dedicated fan base, thereby solidifying his status as a star hero.







'Annamayya'



At a time when peers like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh were dominating with commercial films, Nagarjuna shocked everyone by signing on to the devotional project 'Annamayya'. Already popular for his mass image, his decision to do a devotional film raised eyebrows within the industry. Committed to portraying diverse roles, Nagarjuna embraced the challenge without hesitation, delivering a performance in 'Annamayya' that became a landmark in his career. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, the film was a sensational success, capturing the true essence of Annamayya and earning two National Awards, nine Nandi Awards, and three Filmfare Awards.







More Spiritual Films



Following the success of 'Annamayya', Nagarjuna didn't stop there. While continuing to act in commercial films, he also starred in more devotional films. Films like 'Sri Ramadasu', 'Shirdi Sai', 'Om Namo Venkatesaya', and 'Jagadguru Adi Shankar' under the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna also achieved great success at the box office.







Opportunities for Newcomers



Nagarjuna has proven time and again that not only is giving chances to newcomers not a risk, but it can also lead to success. Throughout his extensive acting career, he has introduced around 40 directors to Tollywood. Directors like Ram Gopal Varma ('Siva'), YVS Chowdary (Sri Sita Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Raarandi), Lawrence ('Mass'), and Vijay Binni ('Naa Saami Ranga') are included in this list. Nagarjuna often credits these new directors for playing a pivotal role in his stardom.







The First Pan-India Star from Telugu Cinema



Director Krishna Vamsi, in an interview, made interesting remarks about Nagarjuna, describing him as the hero who took Telugu cinema global. Nagarjuna brought directors from various industries and produced diverse films with his own money, significantly altering the audience's perspective. He worked with directors like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Ravichandran, and Mahesh Bhatt from Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil industries, becoming a true Pan-India foundation.

As the Host of Bigg Boss...



Unlike most stars who shy away from television, Nagarjuna embraced it. He has been hosting the Telugu Bigg Boss show for several years, entertaining the television audience with his charm. While younger heroes like NTR and Tarak hosted for only a season, Nagarjuna has been continuously hosting, completing five seasons (Bigg Boss 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and is set to host the upcoming eighth season. He has also been notable as the host of the 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' game show.

The Fitness Mantra



Even at the age of sixty, Nagarjuna's fitness level amazes the younger generation of heroes. Maintaining his physique from his 'Siva' days, he continues to give tough competition to younger heroes. Nagarjuna often shares that his secret to looking great is his calm demeanor and regular workouts. Having debuted as a hero in 1986 with 'Vikram', Nagarjuna has now acted in over a hundred films. Currently, he is working under the direction of Shekhar Kammula in 'Kubera'.

Among the stars of Tollywood, Ravi Teja is known as the 'Mass Maharaja'. Having delivered blockbusters such as 'Idiot', 'Bhadra', 'Venky', 'Vikramarkudu', 'Kick', 'Mirapakay', 'Power', 'Bengal Tiger', and 'Raja The Great', Ravi Teja hasn't been seen much in recent years. Although his recent films 'Dhamaka' and 'Eagle' seemed promising, they failed to deliver the level of success expected of Ravi Teja's caliber. His latest, 'Mr. Bachchan', also faced a dismal failure. Given his string of flops, it appears that the Mass Maharaja is taking a daring step by getting ready to remake a successful Malayalam movie.



Ravi Teja in the Remake of 'Aavesham'!



The Malayalam film 'Aavesham', directed by Jeethu Madhavan and featuring Fahadh Faasil in the lead, was an action-comedy that released this year and achieved great success, grossing over ₹150 crores at the box office. There has been talk in Tollywood about remaking this film in Telugu for some time. According to the latest buzz, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has acquired the remake rights of this film. Ravi Teja's acquisition of the rights has led to widespread speculation that he will star in the remake himself, to be produced under his own production company. An official announcement may also be coming soon, exciting Ravi Teja's fans.







Choosing Over Balakrishna...



There were rumors that Nandamuri Balakrishna would star in remake 'Aavesham' in Telugu, as Fahadh Faasil's role seemed a good fit for him. Balakrishna's fans even counted the film as one of his future projects. However, unexpectedly, Ravi Teja secured the project instead, charming Balakrishna's fans. Yet, Balakrishna's fans also say that Fahadh Faasil's role suits Ravi Teja well and believe that he will do justice to the various shades of the character. The question of who will direct this intriguing remake is currently generating much interest.







Struggling to Overcome the Flop Streak!



Ravi Teja, who once entertained fans with hit films, is now struggling with a series of flops. Of his last ten films, only one ('Krack') was a hit, and two others ('Dhamaka' and 'Eagle') received average feedback. The remaining seven were outright failures at the box office. The less said about 'Mr. Bachchan', the better, as it drew significant criticism and trolling for Ravi Teja. Critics have pointed out that he is not choosing age-appropriate roles and seems more interested in romantic scenes with much younger actresses. These criticisms have led Ravi Teja to decide that he must achieve a hit somehow and believes that remaking the successful Malayalam movie 'Aavesham' would be a safe bet.







Will 'Aavesham' Be a Good Fit?



'Aavesham' presents a unique story where three college students seek help from a local gangster, Ranga (Fahadh Faasil), to deal with their seniors. As the plot unfolds, Ranga forms a bond with the students, but complications arise due to his character, leading to an intriguing situation. Fahadh Faasil's characterization is a special attraction in this story. Given that the character suits senior actors well, initially, Balakrishna's name came up. Now that Ravi Teja's name has emerged, many wonder how he will fit into this role. There's no doubt that Ravi Teja can handle it, as the role demands a mix of comedy, action, and aggression, all of which he can deliver convincingly.






Ravi Teja: How Did He Win Over Balakrishna's Fans with the 'Aavesham' Remake?


Nandamuri Balakrishna's popular talk show 'Unstoppable Season 4' is successfully continuing. The episodes featuring AP CM Chandrababu, Dulquer Salmaan, and Suriya, streamed on the popular OTT platform 'Aha', have been trending. The latest episode to stream features another star hero, Icon Star Allu Arjun. In this episode, Balakrishna posed some questions about cinema heroes, and Bunny provided intriguing answers. Amidst the ongoing fan war between Mega and Allu fans, Bunny made interesting comments about Power Star Pawan Kalyan.



What did he say about Pawan?



Balakrishna, hosting 'Unstoppable Season 4', which has already completed three seasons and is now in its lively fourth season, just released its fourth episode. As images of various heroes appeared on the screen, Balakrishna asked for opinions. When Pawan Kalyan's photo was displayed, Bunny made intriguing remarks. Bunny expressed his admiration for Pawan Kalyan's courage, saying he enjoys it immensely. He mentioned observing many leaders and businessmen closely but said he watches Pawan Kalyan's courage live. He praised Pawan as a very daring person. The related video is going viral online, and Pawan's fans are welcoming Bunny’s comments.
