    Chiranjeevi: Godfather to Young Heroes, A Big Salute to This Mega Support!
    Chiranjeevi: Godfather to Young Heroes, A Big Salute to This Mega Support!
    Chiranjeevi, a leading actor in Tollywood, has dominated the Telugu film industry for over four decades. Even in his sixties, he continues to give young heroes a run for their money with his films. Currently, he serves as an inspiration to the entire generation of young heroes, mentoring newcomers along the way. Chiranjeevi stands as a pillar of support for these emerging stars without any backing in the industry, often attending their movie promotions and contributing to their success. Recently, he graced the pre-release event of Satyadev’s 'Zebra' as a chief guest, boosting the morale of young actors by specially mentioning small films. Praise for Small Films Chiranjeevi, a fervent fan and established actor, attended the pre-release event of Satyadev's 'Zebra,' which will be released on the 22nd of this month in Hyderabad. At the event, Chiranjeevi highlighted the successes of small films released this year. He expressed his joy over the Pan-India success of Prasanth Varma and Teja Sajja's 'Hanuman' released during Sankranti. He also acknowledged the successes of 'Committee Kurrollu' produced by Niharika Konidela, and 'Tillu Square' starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda. He was pleased with the Diwali releases 'Lucky Baskhar,' 'Ka,' and 'Amaran,' noting them as positive developments. He mentioned watching 'Matthu Vadalara 2,' starring Keeravani’s son Sri Simha and comedian Satya, twice and praised their performances. The respective film teams were elated by Chiranjeevi’s endorsement. https://twitter.com/GulteOfficial/status/1856370891417932076 Reliable Support for Young Heroes Chiranjeevi continues to support the new generation of heroes who consider him their inspiration. Recently, he attended the pre-release event of Satyadev’s film and even suggested Satyadev as the antagonist for his own movie 'Godfather,' giving a significant boost to Satyadev’s career. Previously, Chiranjeevi praised young hero Suhas at a film event, commending his performance in 'Colour Photo,' which moved Suhas to tears. He also blessed young actor Sharwanand at the 'Sreekaaram' movie pre-release event. When the 'Committee Kurrollu' team visited Chiru's residence, he blessed the lead actor Yashwant, who was visibly grateful during a photo session. Chiranjeevi consistently encourages young actors whenever the opportunity arises. Chiranjeevi Set to Visit Japan! Chiranjeevi is currently working on the film 'Viswambhara,' directed by 'Bimbisara' fame Vashistha Mallidi. According to the latest buzz, he will soon head to Japan for a ten-day shooting schedule, which will include important scenes and songs. The film, produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod, is being made as a socio-fantasy entertainer similar to 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari' and 'Anji.' Scheduled for a Sankranti 2025 release, Chiranjeevi has stepped back from 'Game Changer' with Ram Charan to focus on 'Viswambhara.'

    <strong>Satyadev: 'Don’t Let Zebra Be Like That,' Satyadev Appeals to Telugu Audiences</strong>
    Satyadev: 'Don’t Let Zebra Be Like That,' Satyadev Appeals to Telugu Audiences
    Actor Satyadev’s latest movie, Zebra, has been making waves in the film industry. Featuring Kannada actor Dhananjay in a key role, the movie, directed by Eashvar Karthik, also stars Priya Bhavani Shankar and Jennifer Piccinato. The film received positive reviews and started gaining traction after its first day, thanks to word-of-mouth publicity. Recently, the team organized a success meet. Amid this, Satyadev penned an open letter to the audience, sharing his thoughts and reflecting on the struggles of his earlier movies. What Did Satyadev Say? Satyadev expressed his happiness over the audience's response to Zebra in a heartfelt note shared on social media. He wrote: "This success is yours. You’ve said the movie is good, and I couldn’t ask for more. I’ve been waiting for five years for such a hit. I’ve longed to make a movie that you love and to hear you say, 'You’ve delivered a hit.' When I succeed, you celebrate, and that fills my heart with joy. You missed watching Bluff Master in theaters but later showered it with love on OTT and YouTube. I hope the same doesn’t happen with Zebra. Please watch this film in theaters—it’s a movie you’ll definitely enjoy." https://twitter.com/ActorSatyaDev/status/1861276550337073501 Struggles With Every Film Satyadev is one of those talented actors who has struggled to gain the recognition he deserves. Despite delivering strong performances, he has often faced challenges in reaching audiences. He hoped that Zebra would turn his fortunes around, especially with the positive reviews. However, the film’s box office numbers have not matched expectations, leaving him concerned. This situation isn’t new for Satyadev. His career began with similar hurdles. His debut film, Uma Maheshwara Ugra Roopasya, was released directly on OTT due to the pandemic. His next, Thimmarusu, faced the impact of the second COVID wave, with theaters operating at 50% capacity. Bluff Master didn’t find success in theaters but was appreciated later on OTT platforms. Even Krishnamma was delayed for two years before its theatrical release earlier this year, only to hit OTT within a week. Despite his role as an antagonist in Godfather alongside Chiranjeevi, Satyadev didn’t gain the expected opportunities. With Zebra, he hopes to break this cycle and has earnestly appealed to audiences to support the film in theaters. Is Zebra Worth Watching? Director Eashvar Karthik weaves a story about financial crimes in the banking sector, intertwined with the world of gangsters. Satyadev shines as Surya, a bank relationship manager, delivering a compelling performance. The story revolves around Surya’s struggles as he becomes entangled in a 5-crore bank fraud, with a gangster villain hunting him down. While the storyline holds intrigue, certain elements, like the villain’s obsession with a relatively small amount (for a crime lord), feel unrealistic. The lack of gripping moments in some parts is a downside. However, the film’s freshness and appeal to fans of thrilling dramas make it a worthwhile watch. What’s the Story? Surya (Satyadev), a middle-class bank relationship manager, works at the Bank of Trust. He secretly admires his coworker Swathi (Priya Bhavani Shankar). One day, Swathi mistakenly transfers ₹4 lakhs to a fraudulent account. When the recipient refuses to return the money, Surya steps in to help her. This incident escalates unexpectedly, pulling Surya into a larger scam involving ₹5 crores. He eventually crosses paths with Adi (Dhananjay), a notorious and dangerous gangster. How does Surya deal with Adi? How did Adi enter Surya’s life? What consequences does the ₹5-crore fraud bring? Does Surya overcome these challenges? These questions drive the gripping narrative of Zebra.

    Prashanth Neel's New Pan-India Film 'Bagheera' Trailer Drops: Fans Spot Strong 'KGF' Vibes!
    Prashanth Neel's New Pan-India Film 'Bagheera' Trailer Drops: Fans Spot Strong 'KGF' Vibes!
    From the Kannada film industry, 'KGF' and 'KGF 2' have created a sensation nationwide. Before 'KGF', Prashanth Neel, an unknown Kannada director, became a pan-India star with these two films. Recently, he directed 'Salaar' with Prabhas, creating another box office tsunami. Prashanth Neel is known for his meticulous attention to storytelling. In this sequence, he provided a story for a pan-India film titled 'Bagheera', whose trailer was released today and is captivating the audience. The trailer contains many elements reminiscent of 'KGF'. In black and white frames... The combination of director Prashanth Neel and production house Hombale Films, known from 'KGF', has gained recognition on a pan-India scale. Expectations for any project from this combination are sky-high. Under this combination, Hombale Films has produced a pan-India film, 'Bagheera', directed by Suri, with Sri Murali from Prashanth Neel's first film 'Ugramm' playing the lead role. The recently released trailer of this film is exceptionally captivating, showing Sri Murali in two different getups. The trailer, styled by Prashanth Neel, includes black and white visuals along with action sequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O38mUkgL-w8 KGF-style dialogues! A Prashanth Neel film is known not only for its action but also for its compelling dialogues. The dialogues from 'KGF' received a great response. Similar dialogues can be seen in the 'Bagheera' trailer. It starts with a boy asking his mother, "Why does God always talk about Ramayana and Mahabharata, and why doesn't he ever come?" To which the mother explains the circumstances under which God appears, saying, "He comes when a man becomes a beast." This dialogue is followed by scenes featuring brutal villains. The hero, a police officer, is shown putting aside his uniform and ruthlessly eliminating criminals as a masked vigilante. The trailer shows Sri Murali’s acting prowess in dual roles, one as a police officer and the other as a weapon against demons. Actor Prakash Raj is also seen in the trailer as a high-ranking police official. Mother's sentiment! In 'KGF', the hero's mother dies during his childhood, and the promise he made to her turns him into a criminal. Observing the 'Bagheera' trailer suggests a similar story, indicating the presence of a mother's sentiment. A boy, whose mother dies when he is young, grows up to become a police officer to fight injustices. Believing that justice isn’t served legally, he turns into a masked man and brutally kills criminals. However, the hero's mother might have faced troubles from criminals, and with the intention that no one else should suffer as she did, he wears the uniform. Netizens believe that the combination of black and white frames and action sequences gives a feeling reminiscent of 'KGF'. The film is set to release in front of audiences on October 31. Busy with 'NTR 31' After the blockbuster 'Salaar', Prashanth Neel is set to work with Jr NTR on his next project, tentatively titled 'NTR 31'. This film is rumored to be set against a backdrop in Bangladesh, with Tarak playing a Bangladeshi farmer. This project is likely to start rolling soon. While known for directing sequels, it is reported that Prashanth Neel intends to make 'NTR 31' as a single part. After this movie, there's a possibility that Prashanth Neel will direct 'Salaar 2' with Prabhas. Recently, there were also reports about finalizing a project with Ram Charan.

    NTR's 'Devara': Inspired by RRR and Set for Historic Beyond Fest Debut
    NTR's 'Devara': Inspired by RRR and Set for Historic Beyond Fest Debut
    The film 'Devara', a collaboration between NTR and Koratala Siva, is set for a worldwide release on September 27. As a pan-India film, the Devara team has been busy promoting it in Bollywood recently. They have also conducted an event in Tamil Nadu recently, building hype there as well. As the release date approaches, Tarak has been actively participating in the promotions without rest. In a recent interview, he made interesting comments about the film, heroine Janhvi Kapoor, and music sensation Anirudh Ravichander, which have now gone viral. 'Didn't Initially Consider Janhvi' Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak in 'Devara'. This film marks her first introduction to the Telugu screen. However, Tarak revealed in a recent interview that Janhvi was not initially considered for the heroine role. While writing the story, there was no particular actress in mind for the role. At that time, Karan Johar called and said, 'Janhvi is a good actress. It would be good if we take her in our film,' recalled Tarak. "Even then, we didn't think about taking her immediately. But she strongly wished to be part of it. By the time the scriptwriting was completed, she had joined the team. She was very nervous about acting and the language at first, but performed well. Her acting surprised everyone," Tarak explained. Inspired by RRR The title of a film is very important, especially for a pan-India film, where it needs to connect with everyone at a national level. That's why there is a lot of homework done on titles for star hero films. Tarak shared in the recent interview that this was also the case with Devara. He also revealed the reasoning behind fixing the title 'Devara'. He had thought from the beginning that the film needed a title like 'RRR' that would resonate nationally. "That's how 'Devara' was finalized," he clarified. Tarak mentioned that 'Devara' means 'God'. Anirudh on Par with Rahman Anirudh Ravichander provided the sensational music for 'Devara'. Already, the songs "Fear", "Buttamalle", and "Daavudi" from this film have been trending nationally. In this context, Tarak showered praises on Anirudh, stating that his era is ongoing and lifted him to the skies. "Anirudh knows how essential music is for a film, and he is an amazing person. He works hard until he achieves the desired results," praised Tarak. He opined that Anirudh would reach the level of A.R. Rahman and expressed hope that he would compose for international films as well. Devara as the First Indian Film at 'Beyond Fest' Before its release, 'Devara' has already set several records and has now added a rare honor to its achievements. It is set to be the first Indian film to be showcased at the prestigious Beyond Fest 2024 in Los Angeles. No Indian film has been featured at Beyond Fest to date. This record will be exclusively Tarak's. The festival will take place from September 25 to October 9. On the other hand, 'Devara' also broke the North American presale ticket record, becoming the fastest Indian film to collect 1 million dollars through presales.

    Chiranjeevi - Balakrishna: Director Accepts Chiranjeevi's Challenge to Make a Multi-Starrer with Balakrishna?
    Chiranjeevi - Balakrishna: Director Accepts Chiranjeevi's Challenge to Make a Multi-Starrer with Balakrishna?
    Tollywood's leading actor, Nandamuri Balakrishna, has completed 50 years in the film industry. In this context, the grand NBK 50 Years Celebrations event was held on Sunday (September 1). Film and political dignitaries attended the event to reminisce about their connections with Balakrishna and his acting career. Megastar Chiranjeevi, who was the chief guest, made some intriguing comments at the event and offered a bumper offer to director Boyapati and other scriptwriters. This has now become a hot topic in Tollywood. Green Light for a Multi-Starrer with Balayya At Balakrishna's golden jubilee celebrations, Megastar Chiranjeevi made some exciting comments. He expressed his pleasure in participating in Balayya's 50-year celebration, emphasizing that it was not only a celebration for Balakrishna but for the entire Telugu film industry. He praised Balakrishna as a synonym for faction movies in the industry. Chiru mentioned that Balakrishna inspired him to make the movie 'Indra'. He said if any director or writer comes up with a good story involving characters like Indrasena Reddy and Samarasimha Reddy, he would be ready to act. Promptly, Balakrishna also agreed by saying "double okay" when Chiru asked "Are you ready?" Specifically pointing to director Boyapati Srinu, Chiru challenged him to come up with a story, and also mentioned YVS Chowdary's name in this context. https://twitter.com/i/status/1830519890249421017 Why Boyapati? Many directors attended Balakrishna's golden jubilee event from the industry, but Chiru specifically mentioned Boyapati Srinu for a strong reason. Among current directors, Boyapati is known as a caretaker of action films and has directed blockbuster films with senior actor Balakrishna such as 'Simha', 'Legend', and 'Akhanda'. Chiru might believe that only Boyapati could do justice to such a massive multi-starrer, which is why he specifically called out "Oi Boyapati.. Challenge" suggesting that analysts believe Chiru anticipated Boyapati could handle this project. At the same time, senior director YVS Chowdary and other scriptwriters were also indirectly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. YVS Chowdary Steps into the Arena? It's known that director and producer YVS Chowdary has come forward ready to write roles for Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna, taking inspiration from movies like 'Indra' and 'Samarasimha Reddy'. Efforts in this direction have already started within the industry. YVS Chowdary, a die-hard fan of the Nandamuri family, has a strong connection with them and has directed films with Balakrishna and Harikrishna in the past. Though he had been away from the industry for some time, he has recently announced a new project. If he manages to convince Chiru and Balayya with his story, it could lead to a never-before-seen multi-starrer in Tollywood. Chiru's Crazy Comments on Fan Wars With the recent increase in fan wars on social media, Chiru made interesting comments at Balakrishna’s golden jubilee event. "Fans often fight, but events like these show the strong bonds between heroes. That’s why our fans also stay united. Balakrishna always attends our family functions and even dances with us. The honor of acting as a hero for 50 years is Balakrishna’s own. I pray to God that he continues to bless Balakrishna with the strength to entertain us for 100 years in good health," said the Megastar.

    Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally
    Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally
    Directed by Gyanasagar and starring Sudheer Babu, the latest film 'Harom Hara' is an action thriller. Malavika Sharma features opposite Sudheer Babu, and Sunil plays a pivotal role. Released to audiences on June 14, the film garnered positive feedback in theaters but failed to achieve significant commercial success, earning only moderate box office returns. Recently, it was released on OTT platforms and is now trending nationally at the number one spot. Trending at the Top 'Harom Hara' has recently streamed on three OTT platforms: ETV Win, Aha, and Amazon Prime Video. It is gaining special popularity on these platforms, achieving impressive viewership. Amazon announced that 'Harom Hara' had reached the top position nationally and released a special poster in celebration. The film has outperformed several Bollywood films to secure this top spot. https://twitter.com/telugubit/status/1814512633242132650 The Reasons for Its Popularity! In 'Harom Hara,' Sudheer Babu appears as Subrahmanyam, delivering one of the top mass roles of his career. His character receives significant elevations in the second half, reminiscent of films like 'Pushpa' and 'KGF.' Transforming into a mini gangster in Kuppan and manufacturing guns using his mechanical skills, Subrahmanyam's rise to power captivates the audience. The intense action sequence that opens the second half could be considered the best scene of Sudheer Babu’s career. The climax, where Sudheer Babu single-handedly takes on hundreds of rowdies with powerful weapons, is particularly thrilling. If some dragging scenes had been trimmed and the love track between the hero and heroine better developed, the film might have received even better reception in theaters. Overall, the film team is very pleased with its performance on OTT. Director Deserves Praise! Director Gyanasagar Dwaraka has skillfully navigated a routine story, managing to impress with his storytelling. He introduces the point he wants to convey directly, integrating stunning action sequences into the narrative. The first half primarily focuses on character introductions, leading up to a twist before the interval that pulls the audience into the main story. The story picks up pace from the second half, though it becomes somewhat predictable, which slightly detracts from its impact. Overall, for fans of action movies, 'Harom Hara' offers a substantial treat. The Story In the 1980s, in the border area of Kuppam which connects Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, Thammireddy and his family, including his brother Basava and son Sharath Reddy, ruled the area harshly, creating chaos and injustice. Subrahmanyam (Sudheer Babu) arrives in this tough environment and starts working as a mechanical lab assistant at a local college. However, he quickly runs into trouble with Sharath Reddy, leading to his suspension. With financial pressures mounting, Subrahmanyam uses his mechanical skills to start making guns illegally. Although he initially conflicts with Sharath Reddy, they eventually join forces to continue the gun-making business. Eventually, Subrahmanyam challenges Thammireddy’s authority. What follows? How does Subrahmanyam impact the lives of the people in Kuppam? Why do the locals start to view him as a hero, almost like a god? How does he stand up to Thammireddy? These questions shape the story.
