Prominent actor and producer Bandla Ganesh, known for his frequent headline-making comments, has again sparked attention. Via news channels and social media, he often vocally supports various political parties and figures, becoming a hot topic. Recently, he posted a sensational message on social media. On Friday (November 9), against the backdrop of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's birthday, he targeted Tollywood celebrities, criticizing them for only wanting a CM who will increase cinema ticket prices. This has now become a hotly debated issue in the industry.



Bandla Ganesh Fires at Tollywood!



Telangana CM Revanth Reddy celebrated his grand birthday on November 8. Many, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AP CM Chandrababu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, several union and state ministers, and Congress leaders, extended their greetings on social media. However, except for a few, there wasn't much response from the Telugu industry. In this context, Bandla Ganesh, who took to X to extend birthday wishes to Revanth Reddy, made sharp comments about the film industry. He thanked all the celebrities who wished the honorable Chief Minister and sarcastically greeted those who didn't find the time to do so. He remarked that they only need a CM for hiking ticket prices, which quickly went viral.

Jabs at Tarak and Prabhas?



There seems to be a growing gap between the Telangana Congress government and the Telugu film industry. Bandla Ganesh's mention of ticket price hikes has sparked discussions, specifically targeting star heroes Prabhas and Jr. NTR. Recently, the films 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas and 'Devara' featuring Tarak reportedly requested the Telangana government to allow ticket price increases, to which the Congress government responded favorably. However, neither Tarak nor Prabhas posted birthday wishes for Revanth Reddy on Friday, leading to speculation that Ganesh's comments were directed at them.







These Stars Wished!



On the occasion of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's birthday, leading actor Chiranjeevi conveyed his wishes, hoping for a wonderful year and good health in public service, posted on X. Deputy CM of AP, Pawan Kalyan also wished Reddy, praying for his health and the strength to lead the state towards greater prosperity. Mega Powerstar Ramcharan and superstar Mahesh Babu also extended their greetings, appreciating Reddy's leadership.

Controversy Over Nandi Awards!



Earlier this year, at the Gaddar Jayanti celebrations attended by CM Revanth Reddy, it was announced that the Nandi Awards would be replaced with Gaddar Awards. Six months after this announcement, there has been no progress from the industry. In a public address, CM Revanth Reddy openly expressed his impatience with the silence from the film bigwigs. Meanwhile, comments by Congress minister Konda Surekha about demolishing actor Nagarjuna’s N Convention, and her remarks about his family, have stirred the industry. Following these series of events, there are allegations that the industry bigwigs are maintaining a cautious distance from the Congress government.

Vinayaka Chavithi 2024: Telugu Celebrities in the Service of Lord Ganesha.. Take a Look!


Cast: Anjan Ramachandra, Shravani Reddy, N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, Vani Gouda, and others.



Written and Directed by: Smaran Reddy



Music by: Prince Henry



Cinematography by: Mohan Chari, Askar Ali



Editor: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao



Producer: Hemalatha Reddy



Release Date: October 18, 2024



Anjan Ramachandra and Shravani Reddy lead in Smaran Reddy’s 'Love Reddy', with N.T. Ramaswami, Ganesh D.S., Ravi Kalabrahma, and Vani Gouda in supporting roles. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, garnered high expectations among the audience, especially after the recent trailer spiked interest. Let’s see how it fared with the audience as it released on October 18.







The Story



Narayana Reddy (Anjan Ramachandra), at 30, is still unmarried. Despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his family, he rejects every proposal, claiming none of the girls meet his expectations. One day, he falls in love with Divya (Shravani Reddy) at first sight on a bus. Transforming into 'Love Reddy', he sees her as his world. Divya befriends Narayana but rejects his love proposal. Even though she likes Love Reddy, why did Divya reject him? What twist does Divya's entry bring to Narayana Reddy’s life? Does their love story end happily? The film must be watched to find out.







Performance Analysis



All actors in 'Love Reddy' are relatively new. Anjan Ramachandra impresses as the lovelorn Narayana Reddy, especially given that this is his first film, captivating with his natural acting. Shravani Reddy justifies her role as Divya. N.T. Ramaswami, playing Divya's father, catches everyone’s attention, especially with the twist he introduces in the climax. Jyothi Madan, as the girl who likes the hero, and the actor playing the hero’s brother, among others, performed well within their roles.







Direction Analysis



Director Smaran Reddy has crafted a pure love story revolving around the critical issue of honor and prestige. Though the story is routine, it's presented with a natural flair of Andhra-Karnataka locality. Starting with a matchmaking scene, the director makes the narrative engaging once the protagonist becomes 'Love Reddy'. However, his efforts to express his love come off as somewhat clichéd. The curiosity of whether Divya will reciprocate Love Reddy's feelings keeps the first half engaging. The second half, dealing with the rejection of his love and the reasons behind it, connects well with today's youth. The last 20 minutes are emotionally driven, making the climax particularly impactful. Overall, Smaran Reddy has marked a good score as a director.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Prince Henry's music is a major strength to the film, bringing scenes to life with his distinctive background score. The songs are appealing. The cinematography is commendable, richly presenting each frame. The editing is adequate, and the production values are high.







Plus Points



- Acting



- Emotions



- Music



Minus Points

Love Reddy Movie Review: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Honor


Cast: Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashant Thyagarajan, Kokila Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, VTV Ganesh, Aravind Akash, Vaibhav Reddy, and others.



Story and Direction: Venkat Prabhu



Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja



Cinematography: Siddharth Nuni



Editing: Venkat Rajan



Producers: Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, Kalpathi S. Suresh



Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller 'The GOAT' (The Greatest of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, with important roles played by Sneha, Laila, Prashant, and Prabhu Deva. This film is notable for its use of de-aging technology. With rumors circulating that this might be Vijay's last film before entering politics, expectations for the film were quite high. How did the film turn out? How much did it captivate the audience? Did it provide another unforgettable success for Vijay or not? Let’s find out in this review.







Plot



Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.







Performances



Vijay delivers a dual role, excelling as Gandhi but the young Vijay’s digitally aged look as Jeevan might feel a bit off, not entirely convincing. Vijay shines again in action sequences and emotional scenes, proving his star quality. Meenakshi Chaudhary as the heroine doesn’t have much of a role, feeling more like a guest appearance. Prashant, Ajmal, and Prabhu Deva as squad members are adequate but not outstanding. Jayaram, as the head of the squad, captivates with his performance. Sneha impresses with her acting as Gandhi’s wife. Tamil youth hero Shiva Karthikeyan makes a mark in a cameo, and Trisha excites in a special song appearance. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline lacks novelty. The narrative of a hero working in defense and the villain raising his son to turn against him has been seen many times before. However, the scenes detailing the son’s revenge feel engaging. The first half is mostly spent introducing the characters, and the plot progresses as expected until the pre-interval. The interval scene raises curiosity for the second half, which, although predictable, includes some twists that surprise the audience. The comedy and dialogues are deeply rooted in Tamil culture, which might not entirely appeal to the Telugu audience. However, Vijay’s fans will likely find the film quite entertaining.







Technically



On the technical front, the songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are forgettable, not leaving a lasting impact. However, the background music enhances the action sequences, elevating them to another level. The graphic department could have done better, especially with Vijay’s de-aging look. Editing is competent. The production values are high, showing no compromise in terms of budget.







Plus Points



- Vijay’s performance



- Action sequences



- Climax



Minus Points



- Predictable plot



- Slow first half

Vijay's 'The GOAT': A Predictable Action Drama with Strong Performances and High Expectations


Cast: Vinoth Kishan, Anusha Krishna, Rithika Srinivas, Jagan Yogi Raj, Anusha Nootal, Ganesh Tipparaju, Naren Yadav, and others.



Directed by: Neelagiri Mammilla



Music by: Smaran Sai



Cinematography: Haricharan K.



Editing: Srujan Adusumilli, Hamza Ali



Producer: Rakesh Varre



Production Company: Crazy Ants Productions



Release Date: July 19, 2024



Starring Vinoth Kishan and Anusha Krishna, the film 'Peka Medalu' was produced by Crazy Ants Productions. Directed by Neelagiri Mammilla, the movie made its way to the audience on July 19th. Did the film manage to captivate its audience? Let’s find out.







Plot



Lakshman (Vinoth Kishan) and Varalakshmi (Anusha Krishna) reside in a slum along the Musi River. Despite holding an engineering degree, Lakshman remains unemployed, spending his days dreaming of striking it rich by dealing in real estate. Meanwhile, Varalakshmi shoulders the family’s financial responsibilities. During this period, Lakshman encounters Shweta (Rithika Srinivas), an American investor searching for real estate opportunities. Attempting to capitalize on this, Lakshman masquerades as a wealthy investor. He even exploits his wife’s name to secure loans from the local community. The plot thickens when Varalakshmi discovers his deceit. What actions does she take? How does Shweta's husband respond to Lakshman’s schemes? And do Lakshman’s lofty ambitions ever materialize? For the answers, one must visit the theaters.







Performances



This is Tamil actor Vinoth Kishan’s first direct film in Telugu. He fits well into the role of Lakshman, convincingly playing the part of a husband wasting time building castles in the air. On the other hand, Anusha Krishna excels as Varalakshmi, portraying the struggles of a middle-class wife with natural ease. Rithika Srinivas also delivers a solid performance as the NRI lady. The movie primarily revolves around these three characters. Other actors in the film also impress within their roles.







Direction



Director Neelagiri Mammilla has attempted to showcase the lives of the impoverished in the slums of Hyderabad through this film. 'Peka Medalu' conveys that just like the castles in the air, the lives of those who believe in them are similarly intangible. The film depicts how the circumstances in the slums lead children astray while also infusing humor to carry the middle and lower-class emotions. Furthermore, the director has made efforts to portray women's empowerment, suggesting that nothing is impossible with hard work. The first half of the movie flows smoothly, though the second half feels a bit dragged. However, the scenes from the pre-climax to the end title elevate the film to another level. The absence of commercial elements, a routine story, and some scenes feeling repetitive are drawbacks of the movie.







Technically



On the technical front, the music is good. The editor could have been sharper, especially in making some scenes in the second half crisper. The cinematography is commendable, and the production values are high, giving even this small-scale film a rich look.







Plus Points



- Performances by the main cast



- Narrative and screenplay



- Messaging



Minus Points



- Routine story



- Lack of commercial elements

Peka Medalu Movie Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Middle-Class Emotions!


Veteran actor Venkatesh is starring in the film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, directed by the talented Anil Ravipudi. The movie features young heroine Meenakshi Chaudhary as Venkatesh's co-star, with Aishwarya Rajesh playing a significant second lead. Produced by Dil Raju, the film is set to release on January 14, 2025, as a Sankranti treat. Recently, the team held a press meet where director Anil Ravipudi shared an interesting incident from the film's shoot.



"Accidentally Pointed a Real Gun"



Tamil actor VTV Ganesh, who won the hearts of Telugu audiences with his single dialogue "Evarraa Nuvvu Intha Talented?" in Beast, plays a key role in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. During the press meet, Anil Ravipudi shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment from the set involving VTV Ganesh. He recounted, "Ganesh sir asked me if I knew what a real gun felt like. Senior actor Naresh, who was on set, brought out his licensed gun. Without realizing it was loaded, I jokingly pointed it at Ganesh sir's head at point-blank range. Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot.

"That’s When the Industry Thrives"



During the press meet, Venkatesh shared his thoughts, explaining that the team began production with the aim of releasing the film during Sankranti. He expressed confidence that the movie will resonate with fans and family audiences, offering them a fantastic festival watch. Venkatesh also extended his wishes for the success of Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, and Daku Maharaj, starring Balakrishna, both releasing during Sankranti. He remarked that the industry thrives when every film does well. Senior actor Naresh also praised Venkatesh, calling him one of the most versatile actors in India.

Sankranti Hat-Trick Releases!



The Sankranti season of 2025 is shaping up to be crucial for producer Dil Raju, who has three films lined up. Apart from Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, he is producing Game Changer, directed by Tamil filmmaker Shankar and starring Ram Charan, which is set to release worldwide on January 10, 2025. Additionally, he is distributing Daku Maharaj, a Balakrishna starrer directed by Bobby. Speaking at the press meet, Dil Raju expressed his confidence in all three films achieving great success. He also humorously commented about Anil Ravipudi, saying, "Anticipating competition from Game Changer during Sankranti, Anil cleverly titled his movie Sankranthiki Vasthunnam."

70% Theaters Reserved for Dil Raju’s Films!



With two direct releases and another film's theatrical rights secured, Dil Raju has already positioned himself strategically for Sankranti 2025. Reports suggest that he has been in talks with theater owners and distributors to ensure maximum screen allocation for his movies. Film circles are abuzz with speculation that 70% of theaters are already reserved for Dil Raju's projects, leaving the remaining films to manage with the remaining 30%. While this is currently just a rumor, further clarity on the situation is expected soon.

20 Thoughtful Housewarming Gifts to Bring Luck and Joy to a New Home


Cast: Raj Tarun, Manisha Kandkur, Abhirami, Ammu Abhirami, Hyper Aadi, Goparaju Ramana, Srikanth Iyengar, Krishna Bhagavan, VTV Ganesh, Singeetam Srinivasa, Leela Samson, Rachcha Ravi, and others.



Director: J. Sivasai Vardhan



Music: Shekhar Chandra



Cinematography: Nagesh Banell



Producer: N.V. Kiran Kumar



Presented by: Maruthi



Release Date: 13-09-2024



Raj Tarun stars in the recently released film 'Bhale Unnade!' with Manisha Kandkur as the heroine, directed by J. Sivasai Vardhan. Produced by N.V. Kiran Kumar under the Ravi Kiran Arts banner and presented by Maruthi's team, the film's trailer and teaser have already garnered interest. This is Raj Tarun's third film released within a month. After the previous two films failed to impress, Raj Tarun has high hopes for 'Bhale Unnade!' How does the film fare? Did it bring success to Raj Tarun? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



Radha (Raj Tarun) works as a saree draper in Visakhapatnam. Raised by his mother Gauri (Abhirami) after his father's early death, he helps her out. Krishna (Manisha), a new employee at the bank where Gauri works, becomes close to Gauri. Krishna enjoys the lunch boxes Radha prepares for his mother and falls in love with Radha's cooking without even seeing his face. Similarly, Radha falls for Krishna through the letters she sends with the lunch box without meeting her. As they prepare for marriage with their elders' consent, Krishna's friend reveals something shocking at the engagement. This raises doubts about Radha's suitability. What happens next? What test does Krishna set for Radha? Why does Radha keep a distance from women? Did their wedding take place?







Performance



Raj Tarun, as Radha, is captivating throughout the film. His acting has more scope compared to his previous films, and his emotional expressions are compelling. Manisha looks beautiful as Krishna, and their chemistry is well-portrayed. Abhirami, as the mother, captures the audience's attention. Even though Singeetam Srinivasa appears only in a few scenes, he leaves a strong impact. Ammu Abhirami, Goparaju Ramana, and Srikanth Iyengar play their parts within their limits. Hyper Aadi and Nellore Sudarshan provide occasional comic relief. The rest of the cast performed adequately within their roles.







Direction



Director J. Sivasai Vardhan crafted this film with a concept of how modern society and women perceive a man aspiring to be like Lord Rama. The first half flows pleasantly with the love track between the hero and heroine and the bond between mother and son, anchored around the lunch box as a medium of their love letters. The twist at the engagement concludes the first half. The second half takes Radha on a background of why he distances himself from women, although it drags compared to the first half. The tests imposed on the hero in a Kerala ashram and the antics of Srikanth Iyengar do not pan out well. The way Radha and Krishna break up also lacks novelty. The climax is another weak point of the film.







Technically



Technically, the cinematographer does a great job with vibrant and fresh visuals. Shekhar Chandra’s music does not leave a lasting impression. The background score is passable, and the editing is fine. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Story background



- First half



Minus Points



- Lack of commercial elements



- Second half

Raj Tarun's Bhale Unnade Movie Review:  A Beautiful First Half Fades Into Predictability


Powerstar Pawan Kalyan (Pawan Kalyan), the leader of Jana Sena, has achieved unprecedented success in Andhra Pradesh elections. Leading the alliance, he secured victories for 21 MLA candidates and 2 MPs, achieving a 100% strike rate and becoming the first politician in India to accomplish this feat. Currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan tirelessly works for the welfare of the people. Meanwhile, he has repeated his success in the recently concluded Maharashtra elections, again achieving a 100% strike rate. His name is now resonating across Maharashtra and the entire nation.



How Did the 100% Strike Rate Happen?



The BJP-led ‘Mahayuti’ alliance achieved a grand victory in the Maharashtra elections. In the results announced today (November 22), the alliance won 230 out of 288 assembly seats. Recently, Pawan Kalyan campaigned in Maharashtra, urging voters to support the BJP and the Mahayuti alliance to protect Sanatan Dharma. He conducted whirlwind campaigns in constituencies with a significant Telugu population, such as Pune, Ballarshah, Sholapur, Deglur, and Latur. Remarkably, all the constituencies where Pawan campaigned saw the BJP alliance winning decisively. This has led Jana Sena supporters and Pawan fans to celebrate his 100% strike rate on social media.

Winning a Historically Unbeatable Seat



In Deglur, where the BJP had never won before, Pawan’s campaign turned the tide. For the first time, BJP captured this seat, underscoring Pawan’s influence in Maharashtra elections. In Sholapur, the Mahayuti candidate credited Pawan for the victory, showering him with praise and acknowledging his pivotal role. Candidates from other constituencies where Pawan campaigned expressed similar sentiments, thanking him for ensuring their victory and stating that they will always remember his contribution.

Fans’ Celebrations



Jana Sena supporters and Pawan fans are thrilled with his impact on Maharashtra elections. Social media is abuzz with posts like, "You think Pawan is local? He’s national! He can ensure NDA candidates win in any state." Fans are making viral posts referencing Ram Charan’s dialogue from Game Changer: "Pawan Kalyan is unpredictable." They are also reviving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s past praise of Pawan, making it trend again. Fans are declaring 2024 as "Pawan’s Year" and calling it unforgettable for his admirers. They are even bringing back Pawan’s earlier slogan, "Congress Hatao," making it trend on social media once again.

<strong>Pawan Kalyan: 100% Strike Rate in Maharashtra Elections Too – BJP Wins Historic Seat!</strong>


National crush Rashmika Mandanna plays the female lead in Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun. With the movie just ten days away from release, the team has been busy with promotions. Recently, the team organized an item song release event in Chennai, attended by Bunny, Rashmika, Sreeleela, and others. During this event, Rashmika’s comments stole the spotlight. Her indirect statements about her relationship and marriage with Vijay Deverakonda have sparked discussions online.



What Did Rashmika Say?



For some time, rumors have been rife about Rashmika Mandanna being in love with Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda. Despite both insisting they are “just friends,” fans have never been convinced. During the Pushpa 2 event in Chennai, Rashmika seemingly confirmed their love indirectly. When asked questions about love and marriage, Rashmika answered candidly.



When the host asked, “Do you prefer a chocolate boy or a rowdy boy?” Rashmika replied, “I like a mix of both.” On being asked if she would marry someone from the film industry or outside it, she said, “This is something everyone already knows,” with a smile. These statements have fueled speculation among netizens that Rashmika is deeply in love with Vijay and is hinting at marriage.

Hints from the Past



Rashmika Mandanna’s earlier comments at the pre-release event of Gam Gam Ganesha, starring Vijay’s brother Anand Deverakonda, also sparked rumors. When Anand asked her questions during the event, he showed photos of Rashmika’s pet dog alongside Vijay’s pet dog and asked which was her favorite. Rashmika replied, “Ara (my pet dog) is my first baby, and Smart (Vijay’s pet dog) is my second baby.” When Anand teased her further by asking who her favorite co-star was, Rashmika jokingly said, “You’re my family; how can you put me on the spot like this?” When fans started chanting “Rowdy, Rowdy,” Rashmika smiled and indirectly acknowledged Vijay as her favorite.

The 'Mega Family' in Tollywood, known for its substantial fan base, has launched many stars under megastar Chiranjeevi. Present-day industry luminaries like Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun are all members of this illustrious family. Films from the Mega Family consistently create a buzz in Tollywood. Just imagine the excitement if Chiru, Pawan, and Charan starred together in a multistarrer! The prospect is thrilling and may soon become a reality, as director Harish Shankar is actively working towards this collaboration. Let's explore more about these developments.



'The Ultimate Pan-India Release'...



Among the directors close to the Mega Family, Harish Shankar is notable. He has openly declared himself a fan of Pawan Kalyan. During the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan', Harish Shankar made some significant comments in response to why he hasn't yet made a Pan-India film. He stated, "You can’t just write a story for the sake of calling it Pan-India. 'Pushpa' wasn’t made as a Pan-India film; neither was 'Kantara'. They told local stories that the Pan-India audience accepted. It should happen organically. I have been working on a line for Kalyan garu, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If made, it will be the true Pan-India film." Currently, these remarks have become the talk of Tollywood. Mega fans are eagerly posting their hopes for this film to hit the sets soon.

'Past Special Cameos'...



Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have already appeared together in the movie 'Acharya', where Charan had a special cameo. Previously, Chiranjeevi made brief appearances in 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera' to support his son. Similarly, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan have acted together in two films. Pawan Kalyan shined in a special song in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and also shared the screen with Chiru in the climax of 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. However, Chiru, Pawan, and Charan have never appeared together in full-length roles except in cameos. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a full-fledged Mega multi starrer film.







'Connection with the Mega Family'



Director Harish Shankar shares a strong bond with the Mega Family. Known among fans as a director who truly understands the pulse of the Mega audience, Harish has worked with four Mega heroes. He directed 'Gabbar Singh' with Power Star Pawan Kalyan, 'Duvvada Jagannadham' with Allu Arjun, 'Gaddalakonda Ganesh' with Varun Tej, and 'Subrahmanyam For Sale' with Sai Dharam Tej. His portrayal of the Mega heroes in these films has greatly pleased the fans, leading to high expectations for his direction in a multistarrer. Netizens are posting that if such a project materializes, it will undoubtedly break box office records and they are hoping it starts shooting soon.







'Reminiscent of Ustaad Bhagat Singh'&nbsp;



It is known that Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar are working on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The filming of this movie faced interruptions due to Pawan Kalyan's busy political schedule in Andhra Pradesh, leading Harish Shankar to work on 'Mr. Bachchan' with Ravi Teja in the meantime. At a recent press meet, Harish Shankar made key remarks about 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', expressing anticipation for Pawan Kalyan's availability to complete the film. He assured that this film would be memorable for fans for many years and fully deliver on the expectations audiences have from a Pawan Kalyan movie.

Even before the 'Kalki 2828 AD' mania has settled, another high-budget film is ready to grace the pan-Indian box office. As a sequel to Bharateeyudu, which was released almost 28 years ago, 'Bharateeyudu 2' is set to be released. Everyone knows the massive success achieved by the first part. Director Shankar has crafted this film following a similar storyline. Let's take a look at other Telugu movies that have tackled the theme of anti-corruption.
