      Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations
      Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations
      Having started in the film industry as a choreographer, Raghava Lawrence has made a notable mark in both Telugu and Tamil cinema. Initially showcasing his skills as a director, Lawrence later proved his mettle as an actor as well. With films like ‘Mass’, ‘Style’, ‘Muni’, ‘Don’, ‘Kanchana’, and ‘Ganga’, he has captivated Telugu audiences. However, his recent release 'Chandramukhi 2' was a box office failure, placing a lot of expectations on his next project, 'Kala Bhairava'. Recently, the first look poster of this movie was released. Lawrence in a Serious Look! The film 'Kala Bhairava', directed by Ramesh Varma and starring Raghava Lawrence, is anticipated with high expectations. Ramesh Varma, known for directing successful films like 'Rakshasudu' and 'Khiladi' with Ravi Teja, is working on this project, which marks the 25th film in Lawrence’s career. On the occasion of Lawrence’s birthday on September 29, the first look and title poster of the movie were released. The poster, portraying Lawrence in an intense look, has gone viral online, branding it as a pan-India superhero film. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Biggest Budget in His Career! 'Kala Bhairava', featuring Lawrence as the lead, is being produced by prestigious banners including A STUDIOS LLP, Goldmine Tele Films, Neeladri Productions, and Havish Productions. Producer Koneru Satyanarayana is backing this film, which is being made with an approximate budget of ₹200 crores, marking it as the highest budget in Lawrence’s career. The film is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, with shooting scheduled to start in November and a release planned for the summer of 2025. Further details about the film are expected to be announced soon by the makers. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Are They Taking a Risk? The decision to allocate a ₹200 crore budget for 'Kala Bhairava' has sparked diverse opinions within film circles. Despite Lawrence's recognition in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, his market performance is reportedly lagging, with none of his films reaching the ₹100 crore club to date. There is a notable risk in investing ₹200 crores based on the trust in Lawrence, with warnings of potential significant losses if the results are not favorable. However, the makers are not holding back on spending due to their confidence in the subject. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953 Lawrence’s Good Heart Aside from acting, Raghava Lawrence is also known for his charitable activities. Having founded a charitable organization in the past, he has repeatedly helped the needy and farmers. Recently, on his birthday, he once again showed his generosity by distributing sewing machines to impoverished widows to help them become self-reliant. A video related to this act was posted by Lawrence on his official Twitter account, earning him praise from netizens who are encouraging him to continue such charitable efforts in the future. https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953

      Suriya's 'Kanguva' Sets New Trend with AI Dubbing – Aiming for ₹1000 Crore!
      Starring Suriya in the lead role, the film 'Kanguva' is directed by Shiva. It is a joint production by Studio Green and UV Creations, set to release globally on November 14th. This fantasy action film is shaping up interestingly, and producer KE Gnanavel shared something exciting about it. He mentioned that they are setting a new trend with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and these remarks have become a hot topic in the industry. Dubbing with AI The makers of 'Kanguva' aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. In this context, producer KE Gnanavel shared that while Suriya will be dubbing for the Tamil version, the dubbing for other languages will be done using AI. This is the first time AI is being used for dubbing in Kollywood. He recalled using AI to modify Amitabh Bachchan's voice in the recently released 'Vettaiyan'. However, now the entire dubbing process will be done using AI, and they are optimistic about this experiment's success. The film 'Kanguva' is slated for release not only in all major Indian languages but also in English, French, and Spanish, with Chinese and Japanese release dates to be announced soon. ₹1000 Crore Goal! Producer KE Gnanavel recently stated that their goal is to achieve ₹1000 crore in collections with a grand release of 'Kanguva'. He mentioned that the stories for Part 2 and Part 3 are already prepared and that if the first part is successful, they plan to proceed with filming the subsequent parts. He expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level and highlighted that the movie will give significant importance to both action and emotions. The film, which also features Bollywood beauty Disha Patani and Animal fame Bobby Deol, with Suriya in the role of a formidable character named Kanga, is progressing rapidly. The film will also dazzle in 3D. Suriya as the Villain in Dhoom 4! Everyone is aware of the success achieved by the Hindi films 'Dhoom', 'Dhoom 2', and 'Dhoom 3'. Production house Yash Raj Films is now preparing to launch 'Dhoom 4'. Aditya Chopra, who provided the stories for 'Dhoom', 'Part 2', and '3', is also working on this new installment. It is rumored that Shahrukh Khan will star in it, and there are plans to cast Kollywood actor Suriya as the antagonist. There are reports that the film team has already approached Suriya for this role, and he has shown interest. Fans and movie lovers are eagerly awaiting an official announcement. Suriya as Rolex! The film 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan, was a massive hit nationwide. Set against a backdrop of drug trafficking, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi played the villain, with Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil in a crucial role. However, in a surprise twist during the climax, Suriya appeared as the head of the drug dealers, leaving audiences in awe with his menacing look as Rolex. The climax of 'Vikram 2' made it clear that Suriya would appear as the villain in the sequel. Previously, Suriya had also played a villainous role in '24', where he portrayed two characters, including one negative role.

      'Viswam' Movie Review: Can Gopichand and Srinu Vaitla Break Their Dry Spell?
      'Viswam' Movie Review: Can Gopichand and Srinu Vaitla Break Their Dry Spell?
      Cast: Gopichand, Kavya Thapar, Naresh, Mukesh Rishi, Jisshu Sengupta, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, Sham, Pragathi, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, Prithvi, and others. Director: Srinu Vaitla Music: Chetan Bharadwaj Cinematography: K. V. Guhan Editing: Amar Reddy Producers: Venu Donepudi, T.G. Vishwa Prasad Release Date: October 11, 2024 The latest film 'Viswam' directed by Srinu Vaitla and starring popular actor Gopichand, jointly produced by T.G. Vishwa Prasad and Venu Donepudi, with Kavya Thapar as the heroine, is a test to regain success after both have experienced a drought in hits. Released on October 11, did 'Viswam' bring them the success they were hoping for? Let's find out in this complete review. Plot In Hyderabad, a federal minister (Suman) is murdered. Assassins chase a child who witnessed the murder, intending to kill her. However, Gopireddy (Gopichand), who is acquainted with the child’s family, saves her multiple times from danger. There is a reason behind Gopireddy's acquaintance with the family. What is that reason? Why did Gopireddy distance himself from Samaira (Kavya Thapar) whom he met in Italy? Who really is Gopireddy? Why is he trying to save the child? What is Gopireddy's background? To find out, one must go to the theaters. Performance Actor Gopichand captivates with his settled acting and impresses in action sequences, proving his comedy timing once again with 'Viswam'. However, his role does not offer much variety compared to his previous films; it feels quite routine. Heroine Kavya Thapar doesn’t have much scope in acting but scores well on the glamour front. Naresh, Vennela Kishore, Sunil, and Rahul Ramakrishna bring laughter in the film, especially in the train episode. Other characters have performed well within their roles. Direction Having directed blockbusters like 'Anandam', 'Sontham', 'Venky', 'Dhee', 'Ready', and 'Dookudu', Srinu Vaitla had lost his track recently. Recognizing his strengths and weaknesses, he brought 'Viswam', a mix of action and comedy, back to the audience. However, choosing an outdated story for this film could be seen as a drawback. Punches and the comedy track are the strengths of the film, particularly the sequences involving Vennela Kishore and Prithvi that are sure to leave the audience in splits. The Italy track and the villain’s character feel weak. The hero-heroine love track also feels repetitive. However, the interval scene and the climax manage to engage. Technically On the technical front, Chetan Bharadwaj’s music is decent with two or three good songs, and the background score elevates the scenes well. K.V. Guhan’s cinematography is also commendable. Editing by Amar Reddy could have been sharper. The production values are high, giving each scene a rich look. Plus Points - Gopichand’s acting - Comedy - Background music Minus Points - Outdated story - Dragged scenes Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5

      Controversies and Speculations Surrounding the Abrupt Cancellation of ‘Devara’ Pre-Release Event
      Controversies and Speculations Surrounding the Abrupt Cancellation of ‘Devara’ Pre-Release Event
      The pre-release event for Devara, which was scheduled to be held on Sunday in Hyderabad, was abruptly canceled. The event, planned to take place at the Novotel Hotel, saw a massive crowd of fans, leading to chaos and the eventual cancellation by the organizers. Even Jr. NTR shared a special video expressing his disappointment. However, rumors on social media suggest that the cancellation was intentional and was done to attract national attention. Some netizens are raising logical questions about this situation. Let's take a look at the details. Answers to These Questions? The pre-release event for ‘Devara’ was planned to be held at 6 PM on Sunday at the Novotel Hotel. However, there are no records or visuals of Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, music director Anirudh Ravichander, and Saif Ali Khan, who played the villain in the movie, landing in Hyderabad for the event. Netizens are pointing out that no airport visuals of these celebrities have surfaced. Moreover, just hours before the scheduled start of the event, Saif Ali Khan was reportedly seen in Mumbai with his family. On the other hand, a video posted by Janhvi after the event was canceled is also raising suspicions. In the video, Janhvi, speaking in Telugu, did not mention the cancellation of the event at all, leading to speculation that the video might have been pre-recorded. https://twitter.com/SaiTweetzz/status/1838199126569447796 Doubts on Tarak Too! After the pre-release event was canceled, Jr. NTR expressed his disappointment, stating that he missed the opportunity to meet his fans. However, there are rumors online that Jr. NTR had booked a flight ticket to America at 11 PM on the same day as the event. Netizens are arguing that even if the event had taken place, it would have lasted until around 9:30 PM, making it impossible for Tarak to reach the airport in time, considering the traffic in Hyderabad. This has led to speculation that Jr. NTR had prior knowledge of the event cancellation and booked his flight to the US in advance. Additionally, it is alleged that tickets for the pre-release event were sold at prices ranging from ₹1000 to ₹3000, and there is no evidence of refunds being issued. Netizens are accusing the organizers of a big scam involving ticket sales. Ticket Price Hike The governments of both Telugu states have approved an increase in ticket prices for the movie ‘Devara,’ directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr. NTR. A hike of ₹25 for single-screen ticket prices and ₹50 for multiplex tickets has been permitted.

      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report. Suhas Starting with minor roles in the industry, Suhas became famous almost overnight with the movie 'Colour Photo'. Building on the fame from his short films, he seized opportunities in cinema. He earned good recognition from the audience by acting in diverse films like 'Writer Padmabhushan', 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band', 'Sriranga Neethulu', and 'Prasanna Vadanam'. Moreover, he made an impact as a villain in the movie 'HIT 2'. Recently, he's gearing up to present another novel subject with 'Gorrepuranam', releasing this Friday (September 20). Teja Sajja Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations. Nikhil Siddhartha Nikhil Siddhartha grabbed everyone’s attention with 'Happy Days'. Post that film, he continued to captivate the youth with solo hero films. His journey includes significant roles in films like 'Swamy Ra Ra', 'Karthikeya', 'Surya vs Surya', 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada', and 'Karthikeya 2', establishing him as a reliable hero. Currently, he's part of the historical film 'Swayambhu', produced by Ram Charan, and also 'Karthikeya 3' is in his lineup. Vishwak Sen Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following. Following that, 'Falaknuma Das', a mass action drama, secured another success. His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema. Currently, he's involved in 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila', where his appearance in a lady getup in 'Laila' is noteworthy. Adivi Sesh Adivi Sesh initially appeared in a minor role in the movie 'Sontham' led by Aryan Rajesh. His breakout role as a hero was in 'Karma'. He gained recognition as a villain in Pawan Kalyan’s 'Panjaa'. With important roles in 'Run Raja Run', 'Baahubali', and a series of diverse films like 'Kshanam', 'Goodachari', 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'HIT 2', Adivi Sesh transformed into a reputable hero. Especially with 'Major', his market reach significantly expanded. He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline. Narne Nithiin Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.

      Ram Charan’s Mega Leap: Two Films a Year to Satisfy Fans
      Ram Charan’s Mega Leap: Two Films a Year to Satisfy Fans
      Mega Power Star Ram Charan has risen to global stardom following the success of 'RRR', garnering a worldwide fan following. However, an ongoing issue from the beginning of his career has been haunting him, which he hasn't been able to resolve despite multiple attempts. This has left even the mega fans dissatisfied. Now, Ram Charan is devising new plans to tackle this problem and is known to have made a crucial decision in this direction, which has immensely pleased the mega fans. What is this issue? And what decision has Cherry taken regarding it? Let's find out in this story. Two Films on the Sets! It has been 17 years since Mega Power Star Ram Charan, son of Chiranjeevi, stepped into the industry, but he has only done 13 films so far. There has been criticism that Charan takes longer gaps between films compared to other stars, and his attempts to change this pattern have not worked out. Hence, he has decided to put a definitive check on this issue. He plans to make two films per year going forward. As part of this, even before the release of 'Game Changer', Charan has announced the RC16 project with director Buchi Babu. The movie is currently busy in pre-production. Along with this film, he is also planning to do another movie directed by Sukumar. Ram Charan aims to launch both projects simultaneously and aims to release them before 2026, much to the delight of the mega fans. Is He Following Prabhas? Like Prabhas, who has recently been more dynamic with his projects than before, opting to launch multiple projects simultaneously rather than one at a time, Ram Charan seems to be following in his footsteps. Prabhas is currently working with director Maruthi on a film titled 'Raja Saab' and has also recently launched a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi. By November, he plans to bring 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga to the sets. Through this approach, he intends to participate in the shootings of these three films simultaneously and release each within a year. Additionally, there's a chance for 'Salaar 2' and 'Kalki 2' to hit the floors next year. Ram Charan as the Chief Guest Global star Ram Charan is set to attend the South Indian cinema festival 'IIFA Utsavam 2024'. The event will take place at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi on September 27. The organizers of the International Indian Film Academy Awards have revealed that Ram Charan will be participating in this awards ceremony. Alongside Charan, several other prominent figures from South Indian cinema are expected to attend. Looks Unlikely This Year! Ram Charan is currently acting in the film 'Game Changer', directed by Shankar, which was heavily promoted to release as a Christmas gift on December 20th. Producer Dil Raju has also confirmed plans for a December release. However, the latest buzz suggests that releasing 'Game Changer' in December might be difficult due to already scheduled releases of 'Thandel' and 'Robin Hood' for December 20. Releasing during this time could potentially affect collections, and makers are considering pushing the release to early next year. A confirmation from the makers is awaited on this matter.

      Niharika Konidela’s Comments Cast Doubt on Akira Nandan's Film Debut, Fans React
      Niharika Konidela’s Comments Cast Doubt on Akira Nandan's Film Debut, Fans React
      In Tollywood, where Power Star Pawan Kalyan is one of the heroes with a massive fan following, currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, all his focus is on politics at the moment. In this context, there's a common sentiment that it would be great if his son, Akira Nandan, enters the film industry. Any small photo of Akira turns into a massive trend on social media, with fans delighting in seeing traces of Pawan in him. Fans are confident that Akira will eventually make his entry into the industry. However, Mega daughter Niharika Konidela's latest comments have dampened these hopes, casting doubt on Akira Nandan's film debut. Let's look into the details. 'I don’t know about that thought' Mega daughter and Naga Babu's daughter Niharika Konidela recently produced the successful film 'Committee Kurrollu'. In a recent interview about the film, she made interesting comments about Akira Nandan. When a journalist asked her when Akira would enter the films and if he could debut under her banner, Niharika responded, "Akira is still very young. I don’t know if he has any thoughts of coming into films. I have never asked him about it. But if he does, I will definitely make it happen." Her comments have gone viral on the internet. https://twitter.com/i/status/1833762404749996233 Mixed Reactions from Netizens Mega fans have mixed reactions to Niharika's comments about Akira's entry. While fans are eagerly waiting for Pawan's legacy to continue, Niharika's casual dismissal has raised questions. Some find it inappropriate that she has never asked Akira about his interest, suggesting it would have been better if she had provided a clear answer. However, others defend her comments, arguing that she cannot say anything definitive about something she doesn’t know. Nonetheless, Niharika did mention that if Akira decides to come into movies, she will definitely support him, reminding everyone that she said she would actively help if he chooses to pursue acting. 'I want to see him as a hero': Renu Desai Akira’s mother, Renu Desai, had previously made clear comments about his potential film career during a YouTube channel interview. She emphasized that Akira is not particularly interested in acting, clarifying that he doesn’t show much enthusiasm even when the topic of acting comes up. Renu stated that currently, Akira has no interest in joining films and that it’s all up to his choice. If he decides to enter films, she would announce it with great fanfare, akin to the grand celebrations of 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. She shared that seeing Akira as a hero is also a wish of her heart, marking it as one of the most joyful thoughts in her life. Akira.. Multitalented Regarding Akira Nandan's personal interests, he is multitalented. He has skills in sports, music, and even learned martial arts. Known to play basketball well, he is also academically proficient, topping his class, according to family members. With a keen interest in music, he is currently taking music courses. The Mega family set up a special performance for Akira during the Sankranti celebrations, where he played the piano for a song with a sentimental father theme from the movie 'Animal'. The video of this performance went viral on the internet. https://twitter.com/i/status/1747251367033577947

In an interview during the promotions of 'Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam,' she made some interesting comments. "I am playing the role of Chiranjeevi's sister in the film 'Vishwambhara.' I will be sharing the screen with him for quite some time. No one would miss a chance to work with him. I have received many supporting roles, but I did not accept any of them because I wanted to do lead roles. However, I accepted this sister role solely because it is opposite Chiranjeevi. Along with me, other heroines are also playing his sisters in the film," she said. These comments have since gone viral in the industry. https://twitter.com/i/status/1825121103187964326

      Rising Stars: Bhagyashri Borse and Kavya Thapar Set to Shine in Tollywood
      Tollywood is no stranger to heroines. With each film, new faces are introduced. While some captivate with their beauty and acting, becoming star heroines, others fade without making a mark. On this note, two heroines are gearing up to showcase their talent on the Telugu screen around August 15. Bhagyashri Borse is set to charm the audience with "Mr. Bachchan," while Kavya Thapar is ready with "Double iSmart." While Kavya Thapar has already done four films in Telugu, it is the first film for Bhagyashri Borse, making the competition between them quite interesting. Let's examine their prospects in this showdown. Bhagyashri Borse The Epitome of Beauty, Bhagyashri! During the promotions of "Mr. Bachchan," Bhagyashri has been the center of attention in the media, surprising everyone with her varied looks at each event. She appeared traditional in a saree at one event and strikingly glamorous in modern attire at another. The "Mr. Bachchan" team is also highlighting her beauty, actively involving her in the promotions to heighten expectations among the youth. This hot beauty is seizing the opportunity, bringing fresh charm to the promotions with her adorable expressions. She views this as her best chance to make a mark. Harish Shankar's Mark! If you observe the trailers, teasers, and promotional posters of "Mr. Bachchan," it's evident that Bhagyashri is set to deliver a glamorous treat. She seems to have put on a commendable performance alongside Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. Director Harish Shankar is well-known for showcasing heroines effectively. As seen in the duo's previous film "Mirapakay," which entertained with two heroines, "Mr. Bachchan" is expected to offer a substantial dose of glamor from Bhagyashri. If this film kicks off her career properly, she might become an unstoppable force in the industry. Moreover, her decision to dub for herself could work greatly in her favor. Exciting Projects in Hand Even before the release of one movie, Bhagyashri Borse has been swamped with incredible offers. During the shooting of "Mr. Bachchan," she landed a role in an upcoming film by the Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri duo. She is also participating in the shooting of this movie. Furthermore, there is buzz about her being considered for a heroine role in an upcoming film starring Hero Nani directed by Sujeeth. If all goes well, an official announcement about the Nani-Bhagyashri duo might soon be made. Thus, without even a debut release, she is continuously securing opportunities in Tollywood, poised to become a top heroine if her upcoming blockbusters succeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS7Wm46EXAA Background of Bhagyashri Borse Bhagyashri Borse hails from Pune, Maharashtra. She was introduced to the silver screen with the Hindi film "Yaariyan 2." Previously, she worked as a model in various ads, notably gaining fame with Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk commercials. Impressed by her acting in "Yaariyan 2," director Harish Shankar offered her a role in "Mr. Bachchan." This has created a buzz around her in Tollywood, leading to more offers. Known for her cute appearance, Bhagyashri is also very active on social media, constantly sharing glamorous photos and engaging with fans, thereby increasing her popularity beyond films. Kavya Thapar Kavya Thapar's Buzz! Kavya Thapar starred as the heroine in the "Double iSmart" movie, formed from the Ram Pothineni-Puri Jagannadh combo. Despite acting in Telugu films like "Ee Maaya Peremito," "Ek Mini Katha," and "Ooru Peru Bhairavakona," she hadn't achieved a major breakthrough. Hence, she has high hopes for the success of "Double iSmart." She did not hold back in showcasing her glamor either. The trailer and lyrical song videos, along with promotional posters of "Double iSmart," show Kavya Thapar in a very hot avatar. Her glamorous look and stunning dance moves have captivated the youth. She also acted in a lip-lock scene, surprising everyone. If all goes as planned and "Double iSmart" succeeds, it is certain that Kavya Thapar will become a star heroine, as predicted by film circles. Under Srinu Vaitla's Direction... Kavya Thapar has bagged the heroine role opposite Gopichand in the upcoming film "Viswam," directed by Srinu Vaitla. This high-action entertainer is mostly being shot in Italy and is nearing the final stages of filming. Kavya has high expectations for this film as well. According to the latest buzz, she is set to appear in a special song in "Pushpa 2." Given her popularity among the youth for her beauty, director Sukumar is contemplating featuring Kavya in an item song, with an official announcement expected soon. Additionally, more opportunities are anticipated for Kavya Thapar, who remains busy not only in films but also on social media, where she frequently shares her glamorous photos, delighting netizens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kba0qmTtZE Background of Kavya Thapar Originally from Maharashtra, Kavya Thapar began her career with the 2013 short film "Tatkal."

Subsequently, she impressed in the Punjabi series "CAT" and the Hindi series "Farzi." This year, she greeted audiences with the films "Eega" and "Ooru Peru Bhairavakona." In addition to her film work, Kavya is very active on social media, continuously sharing her glamorous photos and providing a visual treat to her followers, who are thoroughly enjoying her updates.

      ANR Centennial: Chiranjeevi Reflects on Past Conflict with Mohan Babu as He Receives National Award
      ANR Centennial: Chiranjeevi Reflects on Past Conflict with Mohan Babu as He Receives National Award
      The centennial celebrations of Akkineni Nageswara Rao were held grandly on Monday at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The event was attended by numerous celebrities including Megastar Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Ram Charan, and Naga Chaitanya. During the event, Chiranjeevi was honored with the 'ANR National Award'. The award was presented to him by Amitabh Bachchan. Subsequently, Chiranjeevi reminisced about a past dispute with Mohan Babu during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. What Happened? In 2007, during the 75th anniversary of the Telugu film industry, the Tollywood community celebrated the Diamond Jubilee event where it was decided to honor Megastar Chiru with a Legendary Award. Actor Mohan Babu made some sharp comments about this. He mentioned that some came to honor him as a celebrity, not as a legend, and suggested, "Write a book defining what a legend is and what a celebrity is and then give awards. Am I not a legend for being the first actor from the industry to serve in Rajya Sabha, for educating 25% of poor students for free, for acting in more than 500 films, and producing 45 films?" https://twitter.com/lyf_a_zindagii/status/1850924373890552313 What did Chiru say? Reacting to Mohan Babu's questioning, Chiranjeevi responded strongly. "There are Rama Rao, Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, Vishwanath, and Dasari Narayana Rao; they are the legends. Give the award to them. My peers like Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, and I are of the same age. Don’t separate me from them by giving me this award. I’ve said before that I don’t want the Legendary Award. However, some objected when I was about to receive it. If I am deemed unworthy, I will not accept the award. I will surrender it in a box and will only take it when I am deemed worthy. By the time of the 100-year celebrations, if I become a legend along with Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, Pawan Kalyan, and Mahesh Babu, I will accept it. Until then, I bury that award," he stated during the Diamond Jubilee celebration. What did Chiru say at the ANR event? At the prestigious ANR National Award ceremony, Megastar Chiranjeevi received the award. Recalling the Diamond Jubilee event, he expressed, "If I consider the Telugu film industry my home, then the opportunity to win came in 2007. I was very happy that everyone agreed to honor me with the Legendary Award. However, due to some adversities, I felt it was not the right time to accept it. I decided to keep the award in a box until I felt worthy. Today, receiving the great ANR award, particularly from Amitabh Bachchan and with my friend Nagarjuna welcoming me wholeheartedly, I feel like I have truly won at home." https://twitter.com/i/status/1850904660875288817 ‘I was shivering at those words’ Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who presented the award. He noted that whenever something good happens or he receives an award, the first congratulations come from Amitabh. Recalling the Padma Vibhushan award, Chiranjeevi mentioned, "When I received the Padma Vibhushan, Amitabh called me the 'King of Indian Cinema,' which made me shiver. But it filled my heart with immense joy. When I approached him for the role of my mentor in the movie 'Sye Raa,' he immediately agreed without considering formalities (remuneration), saying, ‘No need for that... you are my friend.’"

Alongside, a video has also gone viral showing Rajamouli traveling in a safari vehicle, inspecting locations in the national park. Given the movie’s backdrop set in Amazonian forests, part of it will likely be shot in Kenya’s national parks. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 Utilization of AI Technology! For the global project 'SSMB 29', Rajamouli is set to use AI technology, for which special training has been undertaken.

I always wondered why our films couldn’t reach that level. Every time they say we copied, we did it better than the original, and no one is harmed. If I copied from a Tamil or Malayalam film, it would affect those writers and directors, so I don’t see taking inspiration from Hollywood as wrong," he defended. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 Is the Story Based on Those Novels? Rajamouli’s father, star writer Vijayendra Prasad, is providing the story for 'SSMB29.' There are rumors that the team has bought the rights to two African novels by Wilbur Smith, considering the movie's setting in African forests. This has led to speculation that Rajamouli's project will be based on these novels. The film unit needs to clarify the truths about this. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368

      'Venom 3: The Last Dance' Review - Tom Hardy's Explosive Farewell Packs Stunning Action But Misses Heart
      'Venom 3: The Last Dance' Review - Tom Hardy's Explosive Farewell Packs Stunning Action But Misses Heart
      Cast: Tom Hardy, Andy Serkis, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, Stephen Graham, and others Directed by: Kelly Marcel Cinematography: Fabian Wagner Editing: Mark Sanger Music: Dan Deacon Producers: Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Kelly Marcel, Tom Hardy Release Date: October 25, 2024 The 'Venom' series holds a special place in Hollywood movies, captivating fans of superhero films. Following two blockbuster hits, the series continues with 'Venom 3,' which hit theaters worldwide on October 25 as 'Venom: The Last Dance.' Like always, Tom Hardy stars as the protagonist under the direction of Kelly Marcel. Did part 3 also please the audience? Did it stand out as a visual wonder with its thrilling action sequences? Let's find out now. What's the Story? Picking up where 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' left off, the third part begins. After separating from Venom, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes a most-wanted criminal. Meanwhile, Venom is also being hunted by beings from his own planet. Suddenly, both face a new threat. An element necessary for the release of Nal (Andy Serkis), a super villain imprisoned in another world, is unique with them. This provokes Nal's army to chase them. To escape from Nal's army, either Eddie or Venom must die, or they must forever be on the run. How did Eddie and Venom handle this? How did they confront Nal? That's the story. How Did They Perform? Tom Hardy delivers a one-man show in 'Venom 3.' He fits perfectly into Eddie Brock's role once again and manages to generate chemistry with an absent Venom, which is no small feat. Like in previous films, his comedic timing brings laughs, and he dazzles in the action sequences. His dynamic performance in the intense action scenes captivated the audience. Andy Serkis, as Nal, also grabs attention. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Peggy, Rhys Ifans, Cristo Fernandez, and Stephen Graham all do justice to their roles, fulfilling their characters' demands effectively. https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1834215396595101934 How's the Direction? Director Kelly Marcel has crafted 'Venom: The Last Dance' with thrilling action sequences similar to the first two parts. Starting with an intense fight action scene, the director maintains this intensity until the end. He impresses the audience with three solid action sequences, especially with the climax that holds viewers captive for 20 minutes. The battle involving Venom, other symbiotes, and the military against a formidable enemy is thrilling. However, the makers have already announced that this movie will be the last in the Venom series. Highlighting Eddie and Venom's bond with an emotional finish would have been ideal. One scene just before the pre-climax does manage to be emotionally engaging. Overall, the movie will definitely entertain action lovers. https://twitter.com/VenomMovie/status/1846663977784562073 Technically On the technical front, the VFX team has done a fantastic job, turning the film into a visual wonder. The background music is excellent. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high. Plus Points - Tom Hardy's performance - Action sequences - VFX work Minus Points - Lack of depth in Eddie and Venom's bonding - Insufficient drama in the storyline Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5
