Pawan Kalyan's films always create a buzz in Tollywood, turning theaters into a festive atmosphere whenever one of his movies is released. Currently, Pawan Kalyan is involved in projects like 'OG', 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Among these, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is significantly advanced in its shooting schedule. Recently, a major update about this movie has emerged, exciting the fans immensely. Let's see what it's about.



Final Schedule Begins



Pawan Kalyan's 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a period action adventure, is shaping up under the direction of Krish and Jyoti Krishna. The film is being made in two parts, and the shooting for the first part is nearing completion. According to the latest buzz, the final schedule of this movie is set to commence this weekend in a set erected in Vijayawada. This schedule is critical as it includes some of the most important scenes of the film. Pawan Kalyan is expected to join this schedule, which will involve around 200 artists. Bollywood actors Bobby Deol and Emraan Hashmi are also expected to participate in this schedule. With the completion of this schedule, the shooting will wrap up, leaving no doubts about the movie's release.







500-Person Fight Scenes



The makers have already announced a pan-India release of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on March 28, 2025. Accordingly, the shooting has been progressing rapidly to finish the film. Recently, under the supervision of Hollywood action director Nick Powell, the team filmed large-scale battle scenes involving Pawan Kalyan and between 400 to 500 people. This fight sequence is expected to be a highlight of the film, mesmerizing the audience with Pawan's action. Oscar winner Keeravani is providing the music for the film, and Nidhhi Agerwal is playing the female lead.







Pawan Heading to Bangkok!



Along with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', the shooting of 'OG' is also progressing smoothly. Young director Sujeeth is rapidly filming scenes that do not involve Pawan. Pawan is aiming to finish shooting for both films by the first week of December. As part of this, he is expected to complete the 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' shoot this weekend. Afterwards, he will join the 'OG' team, which plans to shoot an action sequence in Bangkok. This schedule is set to complete Pawan's commitments, and he will head to Bangkok next week to join the 'OG' shoot.







Pawan vs. Vijay Deverakonda Big Fight



There appears to be a box office clash shaping up for summer 2025 between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set to release on the same date as Vijay's 'VD 12', which was locked in by the team earlier. This sets the stage for a major showdown between the two stars. However, close associates of Pawan from Sithara Entertainments are producing 'VD 12'. Given this connection, they might not want to compete directly with Pawan's film, and there's a chance that 'VD 12' might look for another release date based on industry speculation.






<strong>Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Mind-Blowing Update from Pawan's Movie... A Feast for Fans!</strong>


Whenever a movie from Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is released, it creates a festive atmosphere among fans. Theaters burst into cheers and chaos. However, the frenzy among Pawan’s fans at theaters has decreased lately since no films from him have been released following 'Bro'. With three big projects pending due to his political commitments, fans are eagerly waiting for his return. Amidst this, an exciting update about his upcoming film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has been released. A thrilling poster with the release date was shared by the makers. Interestingly, a Vijay Deverakonda film is also set to release on the same day.



Grand Release in Summer



Pawan Kalyan stars in the period action adventure film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', directed by Krish and Jyothi Krishna. The film will be released in two parts, with the first part nearing completion. Recently, the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' was announced by the team for a global release on March 28 next year. The special poster released shows Pawan wielding a sword, looking every bit the warrior, much to the delight of his fans who are predicting the film to be a superhit.







First Pan-India Film!



Despite being a star hero, Pawan Kalyan has not had a pan-India film until now. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set to be his first, releasing next year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Expectations are already sky-high, and the glimpses and teasers released have only heightened these. Any small update about this prestigious film instantly trends, showing the massive anticipation. The film, produced under the Mega Surya Production banner by A.M. Ratnam began its initial shooting phase with Krish Jagarlamudi, and currently, Jyothi Krishna is directing it.







Activity in Other Projects Too!



Alongside 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', Pawan has two more exciting projects in hand. He is working with the talented director Sudeep on 'OG', and with Harish Shankar on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Due to his political engagements, shooting for these films was also delayed. With the shoot for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' resuming today in Vijayawada, signals are that the other two projects will soon kick off too. Pawan is keen to finish these projects quickly before fully focusing on politics in Andhra Pradesh.







Pawan vs Vijay Deverakonda!



With the announcement of the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda seems imminent. Vijay's 'VD 12' is also set to release on March 28 next year. Vijay's fans are excited about the face-off, asserting that their hero is ready to take on the big star. However, producers close to Pawan, who are also behind 'VD 12', might consider a new date to avoid direct competition. On another front, Bollywood star Salman Khan's upcoming movie 'Sikandar' is poised to compete with Pawan's release, slated for an Eid 2025 release, which might impact the northern box office given the pan-India release of 'Veera Mallu'.






Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ to Clash with Vijay Deverakonda's Film in a Grand Summer Release!


Once limited to Tollywood, Power Star Pawan Kalyan's name is now resonating in the political arena as well. As the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan is actively making his mark in governance. Amidst the electoral context in AP, Pawan Kalyan, who had taken a break from films, has recently resumed his pending projects. This includes recommencing the shoots for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG. Pawan is set to return to regular shooting schedules soon. However, there's a buzz online about both films potentially competing against each other in the summer box office.



Pawan vs. Pawan



The makers have already announced that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' starring Pawan Kalyan is set to release on March 28, 2025. Yet, there are now plans to also release 'OG' in the same summer season, possibly in April or May. Fans are shocked by this unusual situation. Until recently, fans lamenting the lack of Pawan Kalyan films are now puzzled by this news. Online comments echo the sentiment, likening the situation to Pawan's line from Gabbar Singh, "I'm my own competition." Fans are concerned that releasing the second film within a month of the first could impact collections.







Hari Hara Veera Mallu Team's Dissatisfaction



There is apparent discontent within the Hari Hara Veera Mallu team regarding the decision to release OG during the summer. They insist that there should be at least a five-month gap between the two films. The industry is abuzz with talk of urging Pawan Kalyan to intervene. Everyone is keen to see which side Pawan will take as the situation seems to be setting up a Pawan vs. Pawan scenario. Analysts suggest that it appears OG might have to eventually defer, given the circumstances.







"OG... A Sure Blockbuster"



The film 'OG', a gangster action drama featuring Pawan Kalyan, is much anticipated. Pawan's character named Ojas Gambhir led to the title 'OG'. Music director Thaman recently hyped up the anticipation on an online platform. "Everyone is asking about OG updates. Updates will come soon; work related to it is ongoing. But I can assure you, it will be an industry hit. Director Sujeeth has done a fantastic job, and cinematographer Ravichandran has provided stunning visuals. I must give my best to OG. This is going to be the biggest film from the DVV banner. Pin this tweet. We'll meet soon with updates," he tweeted, stirring more excitement among the fans. Thaman's tweet became a trending topic online.

Soon on the Sets, 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'



Following the blockbuster success of Gabbar Singh, the upcoming film 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' in the combo of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar is generating high expectations. Director Harish Shankar, who had been silent for a while, is now back as the projects Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG resume. Fans are eagerly waiting for 'Ustaad' to go on floors, especially excited for Pawan Kalyan's role as a police officer in the film. Industry insiders suggest that updates related to this movie will also be available soon, following the release of two glimpses that have already received a warm response from fans.






Pawan Kalyan's Double Impact: 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' Set for Summer Clash!


With Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's entry into AP politics, his focus on cinema has significantly diminished. As a result, his movies 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'OG', and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' have been pending for some time. However, there has been recent movement in these projects, except for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The other two have resumed shooting, and the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has also been announced by the makers. It was believed that among Pawan’s three projects, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' would release first. But now, the situation seems to have changed according to the buzz online.



Will OG Release First?



'OG', directed by young director Sujeeth, is in Pawan Kalyan’s pipeline. The latest buzz suggests that 'OG' might be released before 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Young and dynamic director Sujeeth is reportedly planning to release the movie quickly. Given the higher buzz around 'OG', the film team is considering releasing it first. They are planning to quickly complete Pawan’s shooting part and start post-production work. Discussions with Pawan are underway to announce the release date soon, which has got Pawan’s fans very excited.







Hari Hara Must Step Back!



'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', starring Pawan, is an upcoming period action drama. This film was the first among his three projects to start. Director Krish launched the movie back in 2020. Despite several breaks, Krish has completed 60% of the shooting. However, Krish stepped away from the project during the election period as Pawan was fully engaged in politics. Producer Ratnam’s son, director Jyothi Krishna, has taken over the responsibilities to complete the remaining shooting. With Pawan’s consent post-elections, they have also announced that the film will hit theaters on March 28, 2025. Now, with 'OG' potentially releasing first, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' might face new challenges. If Pawan supports the early release of 'OG', analysts believe that the team behind 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' will have no choice but to delay their release. It remains to be seen what will happen.







Why All the Hype Around OG?



Of all Pawan Kalyan’s current projects, 'OG' is considered very special. For the first time in his career, Pawan is playing a gangster role. Fans have already decided that this movie will be something extraordinary after seeing Pawan's acting in the glimpses of 'OG'. The film also stars Priyanka Mohan, with Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi playing the antagonist. Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Prakash Raj, Harish Uthaman, and Abhimanyu Singh hold key roles. The makers plan to release the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Director Sujeeth previously mentioned a connection with Japanese elements in the film, raising fan expectations to a whole new level.

After the blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh', Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar are reuniting for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Until the AP elections, there were frequent updates raising expectations high, but Harish Shankar has been quiet for a while. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' going back on sets, fans are hopeful that 'Ustaad' will soon resume. In this film, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is playing a beloved police role, which has greatly excited the fans. With two glimpses already released and well-received, the industry insiders suggest that an update on this movie will also be coming soon.

In this context, music director Thaman recently dropped an exciting update, much to the delight of the mega fans. Let's see what that's all about.



What did Thaman say?

Recently, Thaman responded on an X platform about the movie. In his tweet, he stated, "Everyone is asking about OG updates. Updates are coming soon, and work related to them is in progress.

Having established the Janasena Party and stepped into politics, Pawan Kalyan, who also serves as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, is aiming to focus entirely on politics after completing his current film projects, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,' 'OG,' and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh.' In this context, fans are eagerly anticipating the entry of his heir, Akira Nandan, into films. They are looking forward to seeing Akira Nandan fill Pawan Kalyan's shoes on screen.

Learning Acting from Father's Mentor



Before entering films, Power Star Pawan Kalyan learned the nuances of acting at the Satyanand Acting School in Visakhapatnam, under the prominent acting guru Satyanand. Now, Akira Nandan is also reportedly receiving acting training from the same guru. It's known that Akira is learning how to express emotions effectively. There have also been reports that he has undergone training in martial arts abroad. All this suggests that Akira is working hard to become a perfect actor. Let's see how he shines on the screen.







Akira is Extremely Talented!

Initially, the song was intended to be released on September 2, on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday.

Film circles suggest that a clash with a big star like Pawan is inevitable for Vijay Deverakonda. However, close associates of Pawan, who are producers at Sitara, are behind 'VD 12'. Therefore, there might not be a competition as they might choose a new date to release 'VD 12'.






Pawan Kalyan: 'OG' Release Date Set? Double Dhamaka for Pawan Fans in 2025!


In the current film industry, the Pan-India trend is prevailing. Recognized as star heroes, many are releasing their films at a national level, thereby significantly boosting their movie collections. At the same time, the trend of making sequels has been catching on, a practice that began with 'Baahubali' and has now reached its peak with films like 'Pushpa', 'Salaar', 'Hanuman', 'Kalki 2898 AD', and 'Devara' being planned as two-part movies. Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is also expected to be released in two parts. However, it seems the duo of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is set to challenge this sequel trend. Let's delve into the details.



As a Single Part...



After the blockbuster 'Devara: Part 1', the combination of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is known to be coming up with a film currently under the working title 'NTR 31'. Given Prashanth Neel’s penchant for sequels, as seen with his films 'KGF' and the expected sequels for 'Salaar', it was anticipated that this new project would also be a multi-part saga. However, in a surprising move, 'NTR 31' is decided to be made as a single-part film. Prashanth Neel has decided to wrap up the story in just one part, and it's also planned to be concise in terms of runtime.







Are Sequels Necessary?



Director S.S. Rajamouli laid the foundation for sequels with 'Baahubali'. Since then, the Telugu film industry has seen a continuous stream of sequels. While it’s justified to plan sequels when the story is too extensive to fit into a single part, and while audiences have welcomed this trend, planning sequels just to capitalize on box office collections without a compelling story can backfire, as has been speculated to happen with 'Devara'. Netizens have argued from day one that 'Devara' did not have enough substance to warrant a two-part film. The movie did well mainly because of Jr NTR’s one-man show and Anirudh's music, but many in the audience felt that their money wasn't well spent. Noticing this, the team behind 'NTR 31' has decided against taking the risk of a sequel.







A Check on Expectations



Usually, sequels are made for films that have been huge successes. By introducing a surprising link to the second part at the end of the first, directors raise high expectations for the sequel. This has been observed since 'Baahubali'. However, complete satisfaction among audiences usually comes only after the full story is known, which nowadays seems to be stretched over two parts, making them wait months to see the conclusion. This prolonged anticipation can sometimes lead to significant viewer fatigue. Comments on the internet suggest that interest in waiting for second parts is waning among audiences. In light of this, Tarak and Prashanth Neel are being cautious with 'NTR 31'.







Shooting Starts in November!



Pre-production for 'NTR 31' is currently underway, with the storyline nearly finalized. Rukmini Vasanth has been reportedly chosen to star opposite Tarak, as per strong buzz online. Moreover, regular shooting for the film is set to commence in November. Tarak is expected to join the shooting in January or February. Prashanth Neel aims to launch the movie by January 9, 2026, and plans to complete the film swiftly.







Against a Bangladeshi Backdrop...



The upcoming 'NTR 31', directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is creating a stir in Tollywood as a periodic action drama. It's rumored that the film, set in Bangladesh, revolves around a young man who lives as a farmer and becomes involved in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. Tarak's character, as directed by Prashanth Neel, will be showcased in two different variations, promising a next-level performance compared to his previous roles.







After 'War 2' Hits the Sets



Tarak is known to be part of 'War 2', a Bollywood film directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, where he plays a character with negative shades. He has already participated in the shooting of this film. After completing his commitments for 'War 2', Tarak plans to fully focus on 'NTR 31'. If 'War 2' wraps up as scheduled, it will release on August 15 next year, after which Tarak will adjust his dates for Prashanth Neel.






Jr.NTR and Prashanth Neel Break the Sequel Trend with 'NTR 31' – A Single-Part Spectacle!


When it comes to the best on-screen pair in Tollywood, Prabhas and Anushka often top the list. Their chemistry has garnered a dedicated fan base, with fans frequently posting on social media wishing for them to get married. Though such rumors circulated for some time, they were eventually dismissed as unfounded. Currently, Prabhas is busy with Raja Saab while Anushka, also known as “Sweety,” is occupied with her film Ghaati. Recently, special posters were released on Prabhas’ birthday for Raja Saab and on Anushka’s birthday for Ghaati, sparking online discussions as fans noticed striking similarities between the two posters.



With a Cigar in Hand…



In Ghaati, where Anushka plays the female lead, she is shown in a rugged, intense look with blood on her face, smoking a cigar, surrounded by smoke. Interestingly, Prabhas’ recent Raja Saab poster also depicted him in a similar getup, holding a cigar in his mouth with a smoky effect. Fans have taken to social media, placing both posters side by side and tagging them as “King and Queen,” calling for a new film featuring the two together.

A Fierce Anushka



On Thursday morning, the makers of Ghaati released the first look of Anushka’s character, followed by a solid teaser in the evening. Unlike her previous films, Anushka appears more violent and intense, shown mercilessly decapitating someone while looking in a bus mirror. In the teaser, she is seen calmly smoking a cigar with blood-covered hands after the brutal act. This powerful role brings back memories of her impactful performances in films like Vedam and Arundhati, where she showcased her ability to take on strong, intense roles.

All Hopes Pinned on Ghaati



Anushka, once a leading star in the industry, is currently facing challenges in her career, with fewer opportunities alongside major stars. Although her recent film Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty received positive feedback, it didn’t achieve the kind of success fans expected for her. Therefore, Ghaati is a crucial project for Anushka as she aims to re-establish her position in the industry. Similarly, Ghaati’s director Krish is also relying on this project for a comeback after the shelving of Hari Hara Veera Mallu.







Prabhas’ Upcoming Projects



Prabhas currently has a packed lineup of pan-India projects. Along with Raja Saab, he is working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Spirit, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2, Prashanth Neel’s Salaar 2, and Hanu Raghavapudi’s Fauji. He also has a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s ambitious project Kannappa. Recently, Prasanth Varma, known for HanuMan, reportedly narrated a story to Prabhas that he was highly interested in. Furthermore, discussions are ongoing for projects with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s Rajkumar Hirani. With these diverse ventures, Prabhas’ career is on an unstoppable rise.






Prabhas: Prabhas-Anushka Pair Back in the Spotlight… Why?


Producer Naga Vamshi, currently riding a wave of successes in Tollywood, has recently brought the film ‘Lucky Baskhar’ to audiences, which has turned into a major success and continues to gain positive reception. At a success meet celebrating this victory, Naga Vamshi shared some intriguing details, particularly about upcoming projects under his banner directed by Trivikram.



According to Naga Vamshi, after a disaster in 2018, two blockbuster films directed by Trivikram have delivered significant successes. Following these, preparations are underway for another major project with Trivikram, which will be a political thriller planned to hit screens before the 2029 elections.



The last film Trivikram directed with Pawan Kalyan was ‘Agnyaathavaasi,’ which unfortunately did not perform well at the box office. However, subsequent films featuring Pawan Kalyan, like ‘Bheemla Nayak’ and ‘Bro,’ continued under Trivikram’s guidance, raising audience expectations for a solid hit from their collaboration.







Plot Background



After Naga Vamshi's speech, there has been widespread curiosity about how the upcoming political thriller directed by Trivikram will unfold. Questions abound about how Pawan Kalyan will be portrayed and what powerful role he will play. The film might include aspects from Pawan Kalyan’s journey since 2014, the foundation of his Janasena Party, the 2019 election episode where Pawan Kalyan faced defeat, and the shortcomings of the Jagan government. The film is likely to majorly focus on Pawan Kalyan’s alliance with the TDP, the jail episode involving Chandrababu, and the strategic decisions taken by Pawan Kalyan.



Trivikram Srinivas, who has so far been confined to family, romance, and comedy genres, venturing into a political thriller has piqued great interest. However, details about the cast in this political thriller remain under wraps.







Given Pawan Kalyan's active political involvement, industry analysts believe this story aligns well with his current focus. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan is busy with multiple film shoots.



Pawan Busy with Shooting



Pawan Kalyan is currently involved in the shooting of ‘OG,’ a project that had been postponed due to the AP elections. The shooting for ‘OG’ has recently resumed, with the movie team officially announcing that it is planned for release on October 25 next year. The shooting for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ has also started recently, with a massive set constructed in Vijayawada for this purpose. Pawan Kalyan is participating in this movie’s shooting, which the team plans to complete first before confirming the release date.

Due to his political commitments, the shooting for these films was delayed. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' resuming, signs are showing that the other two films will soon start as well. Pawan is keen to finish these projects quickly before fully focusing back on the political scene in Andhra Pradesh.






Pawan Kalyan Praises Director Lokesh Kanagaraj: Fans Eager for a Blockbuster Collaboration


In Tollywood, reaching ₹100 crore in collections was once not a common feat. If a film crossed ₹100 crore during its lifetime, it was considered a significant achievement. However, the scenario has drastically changed in recent times. Director SS Rajamouli has elevated Tollywood to a global scale, making it common for our heroes to easily rake in ₹100 crores on the opening day alone. Recently, NTR also smashed records by grossing ₹172 crores on the first day alongside the godly figures. Several star heroes and directors from Tollywood have carved their own unique markets and can effortlessly claim these numbers with a solid hit. Let's take a look at these special figures.



Market Over ₹1000 Crores!



Director SS Rajamouli creates a global buzz with every film. His direction in 'Baahubali 2' (₹1810 crores) and 'RRR' (₹1300 crores) brought in over ₹1000 crores each. He is currently directing 'SSMB 29' with Mahesh Babu, which is expected to hit a global stride and is projected to gross around ₹2000 crores. On the other hand, pan-India star Prabhas has created a unique market for himself regardless of directors. His recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed over ₹1200 crores. With big projects like 'Kalki 2', 'Salaar 2', 'Spirit', and 'Raja Saab' in his pipeline, these films are poised to reach over ₹1000 crores.







Market Between ₹700-1000 Crores



Currently, Tollywood boasts five individuals who have a market capacity of from ₹700 Crores to  ₹1000 crores. Among the heroes, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun easily fit this bill. Allu Arjun is set to release 'Pushpa 2' on December 6, and with the national buzz it's generating, it could easily make between ₹700-1000 crores if it becomes a hit. Mahesh Babu is set to drastically raise his market with an upcoming film directed by Rajamouli. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is planning his next film with Prabhas, is expected to touch the ₹1000 crore mark, as per industry analysts. Prashanth Neel’s upcoming projects with NTR ('NTR31') and Prabhas ('Salaar 2') also place him in this high market bracket.







Market Between ₹500-700 Crores



In this market range, three Tollywood heroes stand out. NTR, Ram Charan, and Pawan Kalyan can easily achieve this with a proper hit. Notably, Tarak has already shown the potential to easily join the ₹500 crore club with his recent success with Devara. Ram Charan, collaborating with director Shankar on 'Game Changer', is expected to release around Christmas, and success here could similarly elevate him to the ₹500 crore club. Pawan Kalyan has yet to venture into pan-India films, but his upcoming projects 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' are set at this level. There's significant anticipation for 'OG' among fans.







Market Between ₹200-500 Crores



From Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are likely contenders for this category. At 69, Chiranjeevi's star power remains undiminished. His upcoming movie 'Vishwambhara' is highly anticipated and could easily make ₹200-500 crores if successful. Balakrishna’s last three films have each crossed ₹100 crores. His next, 'NBK109' directed by Bobby, features Bollywood actor Bobby Deol as the antagonist. A successful clash between them could easily surpass ₹200 crores. Meanwhile, script magician Trivikram, despite mixed reviews for his last film 'Gunturu Karam', managed ₹250 crores. His next film is rumored to be with Allu Arjun, which could potentially rake in ₹500 crores if successful. Director Koratala Siva has also increased his market value with the film 'Devara', projecting his future films to start above the ₹200 crore mark.






Rajamouli, Prabhas, NTR, and Bunny: Tollywood's Box Office Titans Dominating the ₹1000 Crore Club


Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'. Vijay is currently in Sri Lanka shooting for 'VD12' and is having a chill time there.



Vijay Chilling While Steering a Boat!



The movie 'VD 12', a Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri combo, is currently being shot at a brisk pace in Sri Lanka. Vijay is working hard for his role in this new look for the movie while also enjoying his downtime. Videos of Vijay enjoying a boat ride in the waters have gone viral online. He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills.

The Movie Will Be in Two Parts...



Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too.







Competition with Pawan!



With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances.







Vijay’s Future Projects!



Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.






VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!


Power Star Pawan Kalyan has made an indelible mark not only in Tollywood but also in AP politics. In the recent AP Assembly elections, 21 MLAs and two MPs from the Jana Sena contested and won, demonstrating their strength. After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide. In this context, a question related to Pawan Kalyan was asked in the famous Hindi TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, the video related to this is going viral online.



What Was the Question?



The current season, the 16th of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' is ongoing, with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. The show airs every Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony TV. In a recent episode, Big B asked a contestant a question related to Pawan Kalyan. "Who assumed the role of Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024?" was the question. The contestant chose the 'Audience Poll' lifeline for this question. Over 50% of the audience suggested it was Pawan Kalyan. The contestant locked in Pawan's name, and it turned out to be the correct answer, winning them ₹1.60 lakhs and moving on to the next question.

Pawan's Lineup



Currently, Pawan Kalyan has three major films lined up. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG' are in his pipeline. Director Krish has already stepped down from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and Jayakrishna has taken over the responsibilities. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' is to be directed by Harish Shankar. Pawan has also commenced 'OG' with young director Sujeeth. Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time.







Busy in Politics



Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume.







Good News for Pawan Fans



Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

Ayyappa Swami Telugu Songs Lyrics: Immerse Yourself in Devotion with Ayyappa Swami Bhajan Lyrics!


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



The Incident That Fueled Chiru’s Determination



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







From Small Roles to Hero Status



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







The Reason Behind Chiru’s Mesmerizing Dance



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







From Reviewer to Padma Vibhushan



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







Supporting Young Heroes



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







As the Darling Child of Art



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







Leading in Charitable Activities



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

Month-by-Month Top Grossing Tollywood Films: Which Movie Ruled Each Month?


Tarak's latest film, 'Devara', has achieved solid success at the box office, amassing over ₹400 crores in just a week and continuing its strong performance in theaters. Following the success of this movie, all eyes are on Tarak's next project. Currently working on 'War 2' in Bollywood, Jr NTR is set to soon start 'NTR 31' with director Prashanth Neel. There's a strong buzz about this upcoming project. However, according to the latest updates, Tarak has agreed to another exciting project, rumored to be with a prominent Tamil director.



"Pan-India Film with 'Jailer' Director!"



It is reported that Jr NTR, the 'Man of Masses', has given the green light to another ambitious project. He will be working with Nelson Dilipkumar, the Tamil star director known for successful films like 'Doctor', 'Beast', and 'Jailer'. The story pitched by Nelson has reportedly captivated Tarak, and there's a strong buzz within film circles about this. Plans are being made to produce this as a pan-India film, with an official announcement expected soon. Nelson's reputation has soared pan-India, especially after the hits 'Beast' and 'Jailer', the latter featuring Rajinikanth in a compelling role. Fans are already speculating that a movie with such a director could break records.







Hold Until 2026!



Even though an official announcement regarding the Tarak-Nelson Dilip Kumar project might be forthcoming, the film isn't expected to start shooting anytime soon. Currently, Tarak is busy with pending shoots for 'War 2' and is about to start 'NTR 31'. Nelson is also preparing to begin shooting 'Jailer 2' once Rajinikanth completes his ongoing project. Given their busy schedules, it might take longer for this project to commence. Film circles estimate that the movie might only go on floors by 2026. Meanwhile, Tarak recently openly expressed his willingness to work with Tamil director Vetrimaaran, hinting at potential future collaborations.







Our Strength is Him: Tarak



At the success meet of 'Devara' held last Friday, Tarak made some interesting comments. He showered praise on his brother-in-law Harikrishna, emphasizing his often unnoticed but fundamental role. "Hari always stays in the background; many don't understand him because he doesn't come forward to speak about himself. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks, Hari is the cornerstone of NTR Arts. To Kalyan and me, Hari is our strength. Those who appreciate this will understand; others don't need to," Tarak stated.







Jr NTR as a Farmer from Bangladesh!



Under Prashanth Neel's direction, the upcoming 'NTR 31', co-produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, has been creating a buzz in Tollywood. This period action drama is set to portray Tarak as a farmer, with the story unfolding against a Bangladeshi backdrop. It's said that the young man, living a simple life as a farmer, becomes involved in extraordinary events that lead to a significant struggle for the locals. Prashanth Neel plans to showcase Tarak in two distinct variations, promising a level of characterization and performance that surpasses his previous roles.







Has the Heroine Been Decided?



Director Prashanth Neel is currently deep into pre-production work for 'NTR 31', focusing on casting. There's talk of Rashmika Mandanna being considered to star opposite Tarak, which would mark their first film together if it materializes. The director aims to release 'NTR 31' as a Sankranthi gift in 2026 and is planning to start shooting soon.
