Recently, she captured everyone’s attention by starring alongside Tarak in ‘Devara.’ As this is her first Telugu film, the Telugu audience is eagerly searching for more information about her. In this context, let’s dive deeper into some lesser-seen bold photos of Janhvi. Janhvi made her Bollywood debut with the film ‘Dhadak.’ However, as the movie received an average response, it didn’t bring her much fame. The film ‘Gunjan Saxena,’ based on a true story, gave Janhvi recognition for her acting. She received critical acclaim for her outstanding performance in this movie. Though she acted in films like ‘Good Luck Jerry,’ ‘Mili,’ and ‘Bawaal,’ they didn’t bring her much success. She recently caught everyone’s attention by appearing in a special song in the movie ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.’ Recently, she earned good reviews for her performance in Bollywood films like ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ and ‘Ulajh,’ where she played the female lead. Janhvi is making her Tollywood debut opposite Junior NTR in ‘Devara’ and has high hopes for the Telugu film industry. She aims to leave a lasting impression on Telugu cinema, just like her mother, Sridevi. Apart from ‘Devara,’ Janhvi has been chosen for another exciting project. She will play the female lead in the upcoming film with Ram Charan and Buchi Babu. Currently, Janhvi is acting in the Hindi film ‘Sunny Sanskrit Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ where she will be seen in the lead role.

      Pushpa 3: Exciting Good News for Bunny Fans . Stunning Update on 'Pushpa 3'!
      The film 'Pushpa' (Pushpa: The Rise) directed by Sukumar, featuring Allu Arjun as the hero, was released in 2021 and achieved success on a pan-India level. After nearly a three-year hiatus, Bunny is set to return with 'Pushpa 2' (Pushpa 2: The Rule). The film is slated for a grand worldwide release on December 6. However, Allu Arjun's recent comments at a movie function have stirred controversy. Mega fans are fuming over comments targeting the Mega family, while the Allu Army is responding in kind. Amidst this, a high-voltage power update has emerged for Bunny's fans. Let's see what it is. Crazy Update on Pushpa 3 As known, actor Rao Ramesh appeared in a key role in the 'Pushpa' film. He made a significant impact in his brief appearance as MP Bhumireddy. In a recent interview, while discussing his role in 'Pushpa 2', Rao Ramesh also provided a crazy update on 'Pushpa 3'. "They shot just one scene to tell the entire story of 'Pushpa'. The rest of the dates will be used for 'Pushpa 2', sir," he said. "I agreed. I got a good role in Part 2. Now they are talking about Part 3. Maybe my role will continue," Rao Ramesh revealed. This related video is currently going viral. Netizens say that Rao Ramesh has confirmed 'Pushpa 3' will definitely happen. Bunny's fans too are expressing great joy upon seeing this video. https://twitter.com/Nasavnensasthaa/status/1828421405731697031? Hint in the Climax! Currently, another news is making rounds online regarding 'Pushpa 3'. There is a strong buzz in the film circles that the climax of 'Pushpa 2' will contain an update about Part 3. Moreover, it is said that some scenes related to Part 3 will also be shown. However, 'Pushpa 3' might not start immediately as Bunny and Sukumar may take a gap of two to three years. Both Bunny and Sukumar have other commitments; Sukumar has already announced a movie with Ram Charan, and Bunny has projects with directors Trivikram and the Tamil star director Atlee. In this context, it's reported that 'Pushpa 3' might be delayed. Better than the First Part It is known that 'Pushpa 2' is set to face the audience on December 6. Already, glimpses, first and second single lyrical songs related to this movie have been released by the makers. Recently, director Sukumar spoke about 'Pushpa 2', increasing the hype for the film. He clarified that the second part would surpass the first part. He mentioned that many questions left unanswered in the first part would find their resolution in 'Pushpa 2'.

      Nandamuri Family's Support for Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Vishwak Sen: A Strategic Move in Tollywood?
      Nandamuri Family's Support for Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Vishwak Sen: A Strategic Move in Tollywood?
      Among the young Telugu heroes who have gained a good following among the youth, Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Vishwak Sen are at the forefront. Both these young heroes are currently riding high with a series of successes. Interestingly, they are receiving significant support from the Nandamuri family. Balakrishna and Junior NTR have been actively encouraging these young heroes, drawing attention by participating in their film promotions. While it is common for senior actors to support young talents in the industry, there seems to be a strong reason behind why Tarak and Balayya are backing Siddhu and Vishwak specifically. Let’s delve into the reasons behind this in this article. Getting Close to the Young Heroes Megastar Chiranjeevi has always been at the forefront in encouraging young actors. Now, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Junior NTR have joined this list. They are supporting young actors like Vishwak Sen and Siddhu Jonnalagadda. Recently, as part of a promotional event, Tarak conducted a special interview with these two heroes, along with director Koratala Siva. The interview garnered a lot of hype. Earlier, Tarak attended the success meet of a film starring Siddhu as the chief guest, where Vishwak was also present. Tarak created a buzz by taking photos with both of them. Recently, Balakrishna also met these two heroes, and they donated the amount they had announced for Vijayawada flood relief together with Balayya. Earlier, during the pre-release event of another film, Balakrishna praised Vishwak, calling them twins. Whenever there’s an opportunity, Tarak and Balayya are always seen supporting Siddhu and Vishwak. Is There a Master Plan? With many young heroes in the industry like Vijay Deverakonda, Adivi Sesh, Naveen Polishetty, Nikhil, and Kiran Abbavaram, there are speculations on why Balakrishna and Tarak are encouraging only Vishwak and Siddhu. There’s talk in the film circles that the industry is currently divided into two camps – Mega and Non-Mega. The Mega family has over half a dozen heroes, many of whom openly declare their admiration for Megastar. With this in mind, it seems the Nandamuri family is trying to create a group of their own by encouraging the upcoming stars like Vishwak and Siddhu, who have publicly expressed their admiration for the Nandamuri family several times, especially their fondness for Tarak. Tarak and Balakrishna appear to be keen on supporting them to form a group of their own. Competing with Allu Arjun! Allu Arjun has been supporting Vijay Deverakonda and his brothers right from the beginning. Their bond started with the film "Arjun Reddy" and has continued since then. Last year, Bunny attended the promotion event of a movie produced by Vijay’s brother. During a controversy involving the film "Baby," where Vishwak was caught in the middle, Allu Arjun’s indirect comments reportedly put a lot of pressure on Vishwak. However, with Tarak’s support, Vishwak managed to get through the issue. While Tarak and Bunny share a good friendship, it seems they are forming their own groups by supporting different young heroes individually, according to film analysts. Vishwak and Siddhu’s Upcoming Projects Vishwak is currently busy with two films. He is working on "Mechanic Rocky" directed by Raviteja Mullapudi, where Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the female lead. The film is shaping up to be a comedy-action entertainer, with its second song recently released. Vishwak is also acting in the film "Laila," directed by Ramnarayan, where he will be seen playing a female role. Apart from these, he is set to start projects "VS13" and "VS14" soon. On the other hand, Siddhu Jonnalagadda has three exciting projects lined up. He is working on "Jack" and "Telusu Kada." After these, "Tillu Cube" will also go on the sets.

"Shouldn’t we speak up if there is injustice against Hinduism?" he argued, triggering a series of questions from Prakash Raj who has been targeting him without directly naming him. Prakash Raj stirs the fire! Actor Prakash Raj first shared his opinions on Twitter about the adulteration of Tirumala’s Laddu prasadam. In response to Pawan, who spoke about Sanatana Dharma during his penance in Vijayawada, Prakash warned that he wouldn't remain silent if one spoke as they pleased about the religion. Since then, he has targeted Pawan with a series of indirect criticisms under his posts titled ‘Just Asking’. His recent tweet questioned, "What do we want.. to stir up emotions among the people for political gain, or to delicately resolve issues with necessary, even severe, measures without hurting public sentiments? Just asking." https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Pawan - Karthi Issue Also Draws Comments During the 'Satyam Sundaram' pre-release event on Monday, actor Karthi's response to a question about the Tirumala Laddu controversy led to a dispute. When the anchor brought up laddus, Karthi jokingly said, "We shouldn't talk about laddus now. It's a sensitive topic... we don't need it." This provoked a harsh response from Pawan at the venue of Durga temple. He warned the film industry to speak respectfully or stay silent. Karthi immediately apologized to Pawan, but Prakash Raj poked at Pawan saying, "What joy there is in making someone apologize for no fault! Just asking..." He then tweeted another post: "One avatar before winning... another after winning. What’s this discrepancy? Why this confusion? Which is true?" implying criticism of changing stances. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Why so much venom? Netizens are intensely criticizing Prakash Raj for targeting Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan. They question why he is meddling in matters that don’t concern him. "If Pawan speaks about his adherence to Sanatana Dharma, how does that incite anyone?" they argue. They also question why Prakash did not speak out when Tamil Nadu CM Udhayanidhi Stalin criticized Hindus. They question the venom against Pawan when he fights for his beliefs. They assert that the Tirumala Laddu issue, related to Hindu faith, is none of Prakash Raj’s concern, especially as someone seen as opposing Hindu interests. They are also outraged over Prakash Raj’s tweet comparing the Tirumala Laddu to a bomb. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 This is Betrayal! Actor Prakash Raj has always had a good relationship with the Mega family. Megastar Chiranjeevi has often spoken of him as a brother. This year, the Mega family even supported his candidacy in the Movie Artists Association elections against Manchu Vishnu, with Chiranjeevi providing substantial encouragement and Nagababu actively campaigning for him. Despite this, netizens comment that Prakash Raj has betrayed the Mega family by targeting Pawan. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Will he become another Posani? Observing Prakash Raj’s series of tweets, netizens speculate that he might end up like Posani Krishna Murali, who after playing a significant role during the previous YSRCP government, repeatedly targeted the Mega family, especially Pawan Kalyan, with harsh criticisms. There’s talk that Posani lost film opportunities because of his conflicts with a powerful family in the industry. Analysts opine that if Prakash Raj continues in this manner, he might face similar circumstances. The ongoing Pawan vs Prakash Raj issue could lead to significant developments. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667

      Infinix XE27 TWS Earbuds Review: Budget-Friendly ANC and Bass-Heavy Sound—Worth the Price?
      Infinix XE27 TWS Earbuds Review: Budget-Friendly ANC and Bass-Heavy Sound—Worth the Price?
      Infinix has gained recognition for budget-friendly smartphones and has now stepped into the audio segment with the launch of Infinix XE27 TWS earbuds. Priced at ₹2,000, these earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), and a low-latency gaming mode. But do these features justify the price? Let’s find out in this YouSay review. Design and Features The Infinix XE27 TWS earbuds come with a simple design and lightweight plastic construction. The charging case is available in Royal Blue and Imperial White, featuring a glossy finish that easily attracts fingerprints and scratches. We noticed scratches on the case within a few days during our review. Overall, the case is well-built, but the plastic quality feels average compared to the more robust construction of competitors like the Redmi Buds 5C. The earbuds come with additional ear tips for a comfortable fit and are IPX4 rated, offering protection against sweat and light rain. However, the touch controls felt somewhat stiff, and the lack of an app to customize these controls was a drawback. Sound Quality The sound quality of the Infinix XE27 earbuds was decent. With 10mm dynamic drivers, these buds deliver a bass-heavy sound. However, the emphasis on bass made it challenging during calls. The absence of an app to enhance sound quality was also a significant downside. While it's great to have ANC at this price point, it didn’t perform up to expectations. The ANC feature did not make a considerable difference in high-noise environments, and the transparency mode was also ineffective. Call Quality Call quality was generally acceptable, but voices could sound muffled in some situations. External noise levels often made it difficult for others to hear clearly. Battery Life The Infinix XE27 TWS buds showed good battery performance. With ANC activated, they provided up to 4.5 hours of playback, and the charging case could extend the total battery life to 26-28 hours. A quick 10-minute charge offered an hour of playback, which is very convenient during travels. The Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity was reliable. Should You Buy the Infinix XE27 TWS? While these earbuds are budget-friendly and come with ANC and bass-heavy sound, there are several drawbacks, including build quality, sound clarity, and ANC performance. Alternatives like the Redmi Buds 5C might offer better build quality and sound customization through an app. Pros: - Affordable price - Bass-heavy sound, suitable for bass lovers - IPX4 rating, dust and water resistance - Long battery life, fast charging Cons: - Glossy plastic case prone to fingerprints and scratches - Inferior quality compared to other earbuds - ANC not up to par - Poor call quality in noisy environments - No dedicated app for sound customization

      "\The Mystery of Moksha Island: A Thrilling Web Series with Twists and Suspense
      "\The Mystery of Moksha Island: A Thrilling Web Series with Twists and Suspense
      Cast: Nandu, Tejaswi Madivada, Priya Anand, Ashutosh Rana, Pavani Reddy, Keshav Deepak, Sudha, Bhanu Chander, and others. Director: Anish Kuruvilla Cinematography: Naveen Yadav Music: Shaktikanth Karthik Editing: Umair Hasan, Fayaz Ray Producers: Gopichand Achanta, Ram Achanta OTT: Disney+ Hotstar Starring Ashutosh Rana, Priya Anand, Nandu, Sonia Agarwal, and Tejaswini Madivada in leading roles, the latest Telugu web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" has been directed by Anish Kuruvilla. This suspense crime thriller has debuted on the prominent OTT platform Hotstar. How is this series? Has it pleased the OTT audience? Let's find out in this review. Plot Nobel laureate Indian scientist Vishwak Sen (Ashutosh Rana) dies unexpectedly in a flight accident, leaving behind an estate worth nearly ₹24,000 crores. Before his death, he writes a will distributing his wealth equally among all his relatives, with one condition: they must spend a week on Moksha Island. Agreeing to this, Vishwak Sen's family members land on the island, but unexpected events unfold, leading to their deaths one by one. What is the mystery of Moksha Island? Why did Vishwak impose the condition to stay on the island for a week? Are the people who went there really Vishwak's family members or not? What is Vishwak's connection to Moksha Island? That is the story. Performance The web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" features several actors. Among them, Priya Anand, Nandu, and Ashutosh Rana stand out. Nandu justifies his role as a young man determined to solve the island mystery, while Ashutosh Rana is compelling as a cunning scientist. Tejaswi Madivada and Akshara Gowda attract more with their glamour than their acting. Roshan Kanakala, son of the famous anchor Suma Kanakala, impresses in a gay role. Bhanuchander, Sonia Agarwal, Ajay Katurvar, and Satyakrishna, along with others, do justice to their roles with their performances. Direction Director Anish Kuruvilla has crafted a well-written mystery story set on an island. He designed characters with varied backgrounds for the series, showing an unknown side to each character. Who is killing those who set foot on the island? Episodes where everyone suspects each other build suspense. The director engages the audience with numerous questions about the island over six episodes. The way he unravels the mysteries in the final two episodes is satisfying, although having too many characters on screen can be confusing. Romantic and bold scenes might be uncomfortable for family audiences. The climax might not be as satisfying as expected. However, those who enjoy thriller genres will likely appreciate this series. Technically On the technical front, Naveen Yadav's cinematographer is impressive. He beautifully captures the beach episodes. The art department also performs well; the lab setup looks realistic. The background music provided by Shaktikanth Karthik is decent. The editing is okay, and the production values are good. Plus Points - Acting of the main cast - Engaging narration - Twists Minus Points - Bold content - Too many characters Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      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.

      Sopathulu OTT Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Childhood Friendship Amidst the Pandemic
      Sopathulu OTT Review: A Heartfelt Tale of Childhood Friendship Amidst the Pandemic
      Cast: Bhanu Prakash, Srujan, Mani Egurla, Mohan Bhagath, Ravinder Bommakanti, Anjayya Milkuri, Padma, and others. Written and Directed by: Ananth Vardhan Music by: Sanjeet Erramilli Cinematography by: Muthyala Sunil Editor: Venkat Reddy Producer: Vinod Anantoju OTT Platform: ETV Win ETV Win, a leading OTT platform, has been bringing a series of interesting films and web series recently. As part of this lineup, they introduced 'Sopathulu' to the streaming world. This film, set against the backdrop of student friendships, has made its way to OTT. How is this film centered around two children? What is the bond between these friends? Let's find out in this review. What is the Story About? Chintu (Master Bhanu Prakash) and Guddu (Srujan) are best friends who are inseparable. An unexpected event, COVID-19, forces them to part ways. Due to the lockdown and lack of work, Guddu's family moves back to their hometown from Mahabubabad. Guddu's departure leaves Chintu feeling lonely and isolated. Despite their young age, Chintu makes extraordinary efforts to meet his friend, and on the other side, Guddu also struggles to reunite with his buddy. Will they meet again? Did Chintu's brother's dream of becoming a photographer come true? To know more, one must watch the film. Performance Analysis Although there are few characters, each actor delivers a satisfying performance. Master Bhanu Prakash, as Chintu, captivates with his timing and brings laughter. Srujan, as Guddu, also impresses in his performance. Their acting feels very natural and the entire story revolves around them. Mohan Bhagath, known from 'C/o Kancharapalem', plays a significant role and makes his presence felt adequate. Mani Egurla, Anusha Ramesh, Anjimama, and others perform well in their respective roles as per the story's requirements. Direction Director Ananth Vardhan has beautifully portrayed the friendship of two young boys against the backdrop of COVID-19 and lockdown. He visually illustrates the struggles middle-class families faced during the pandemic. Starting the story slowly with the background of Chintu and Guddu's families, the director gradually builds interest. The struggles faced by Guddu due to the lack of a smartphone for online classes are touching. The portrayal of Chintu's brother as a modern-day youth is relatable and engaging. The climax is also satisfying. However, the film lacks commercial elements, predictable plot progression, and sometimes takes too long to introduce characters, which can be seen as drawbacks. Technical Aspects Technically, the cinematography is good, and the background music is also appealing. The editor has efficiently fulfilled his responsibilities. The production values are apt for the scale of the film. Plus Points - Child actors' performances - Emotional depth - Music Minus Points - Lack of commercial elements - Predictable storyline Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 3/5

      "Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns
      "Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns
      Cast: Viswant Duddumpudi, Shilpa Manjunath, Rhea Sachdeva, Tejaswini Naidu, Viva Raghav, Sumanth Varela, and others. Written and Directed by: Basireddy Rana Music by: Lijo K. Jose Editor: Amar Reddy Kudumula Producer: Narendra Buchireddygari Release Date: September 20, 2024 Viswant Duddumpudi, known from movies like 'Kerintha' and 'Manamantha', is now featured in the film 'Hide N Seek'. Produced under the banner of Sahasra Entertainments by Narendra Buchireddygari and directed by Basireddy Rana, this film has raised expectations with its teasers and trailers. Released in theaters this Friday (September 20), let’s see how much it managed to entertain the audience. What is the Story About? The story unfolds in the backdrop of Kurnool. Shiva (Viswant Duddumpudi) is a medical student aspiring to become an army doctor. He is in love with Varsha (Rhea Sachdeva), who studies in the same college. In the meantime, a series of inexplicable murders start shaking up the city. A delivery boy is inexplicably beaten to death with a rod. Similar baseless murders spread fear across the city. To solve these serial murder mysteries, police officer Vaishnavi (Shilpa Manjunath) steps into the scene. However, Shiva discovers clues that even the police can't seem to find, leading them to suspect him as the psycho killer. Who framed Shiva in these murders? Who is behind these serial killings? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie. How Did They Perform? Young actor Viswant Duddumpudi delivers an excellent performance in the role of Shiva, showcasing his emotional depth well. Kannada actress Shilpa Manjunath looks convincing as a sincere police officer, carefully matching her Telugu dialogues. Rhea Sachdeva, playing the heroine, is limited to a few scenes. Actor Saksi Shiv adds great value to his negative character with his deep voice and compelling acting, making a significant impact. Other actors performed adequately within their roles. How is the Direction? Director Basireddy Rana successfully crafts this film as an investigative crime thriller. From the opening scene to the end, he manages to keep the audience glued to their seats. The screenplay is gripping, especially from the first murder to the climax, presenting unforeseeable twists. The way characters are designed and integrated into the story is impressive, with an intriguing link to ancient stories. However, placing this modern warfare in a small city like Kurnool doesn't seem entirely convincing. The film struggles to establish the extent of youth addiction to gaming, and sometimes the portrayal of human emotions falls flat. Overall, the film will appeal to fans of crime investigation movies. Technically Speaking Technically, the cinematography is commendable. Lijo K. Jose’s background music is a significant plus, enhancing the suspense elements effectively. The editing is adequate, and the production values are quite good. Plus Points - Viswant Duddumpudi’s acting - Novelty in the story - Thrilling elements Minus Points - Weak drama - Some unclear scenes Rating by Telugu.yousay.tv: 2.5/5

It is known that he initially considered making a film with Kollywood stars Suriya and his brother Karthi, and it was rumored to be 'RRR.' Let's look into the details of this. 'They Narrated the Story... It Didn’t Work Out' Tamil star Karthi recently made interesting remarks in an interview. During the promotions for his next movie 'Satyam Sundaram,' Karthi, in an interview with director Gautham Menon, shared an intriguing past discussion. When Menon asked about acting alongside Suriya, Karthi revealed, "Suriya and I will act together if we get the right script. In the past, Director Rajamouli sir narrated a story to us. It was good but that movie didn’t work out." This revelation has surprised movie lovers, prompting questions about how they could pass up a Rajamouli story. There is speculation that had that movie been made, Suriya and Karthi’s stardom might have seen a different trajectory. https://twitter.com/adarshtp_offl/status/1835533193111392319 The Story of 'RRR'? Netizens speculate that the movie Rajamouli planned with Suriya and Karthi might have been 'RRR.' They assume that initially, Rajamouli envisioned Suriya and Karthi in the roles later played by Ram Charan and Tarak. For various reasons, that version never progressed to filming. Telugu audiences believe that if Karthi and Suriya had starred in 'RRR,' it might not have achieved the same level of success. They note that while the action and drama of 'RRR' are highlights, the dance sequences also stood out, an area where Suriya and Karthi might have lagged behind Charan and Tarak. Karthi as a Contender to Tarak! Karthi's latest film 'Satyam Sundari' is ready for release, where he stars alongside prominent actor Aravind Swamy. The film, directed by Prem Kumar C., who delivered the blockbuster '96,' is set to release worldwide on September 28. A teaser of the film was recently released and has captured attention. Karthi has also announced his next project, which will be produced under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures as 'Karthi 29.' Details about the rest of the cast and technical team are expected to be released soon. 'SSMB 29' Shooting in December! Ever since Rajamouli announced a film with Mahesh Babu, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see when the film will go on floors. In this context, there is news that an official update related to SSMB29 will be given on Rajamouli's birthday. Regular shooting for the film is set to begin in December, with the first schedule starting in Germany. The film, set against an 18th-century backdrop featuring rare tribal communities, is creating strong buzz. An official announcement regarding this is expected soon.
