The pre-release event for Devara, which was scheduled to be held on Sunday in Hyderabad, was abruptly canceled. The event, planned to take place at the Novotel Hotel, saw a massive crowd of fans, leading to chaos and the eventual cancellation by the organizers. Even Jr. NTR shared a special video expressing his disappointment. However, rumors on social media suggest that the cancellation was intentional and was done to attract national attention. Some netizens are raising logical questions about this situation. Let's take a look at the details.



Answers to These Questions?



The pre-release event for ‘Devara’ was planned to be held at 6 PM on Sunday at the Novotel Hotel. However, there are no records or visuals of Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, music director Anirudh Ravichander, and Saif Ali Khan, who played the villain in the movie, landing in Hyderabad for the event. Netizens are pointing out that no airport visuals of these celebrities have surfaced. Moreover, just hours before the scheduled start of the event, Saif Ali Khan was reportedly seen in Mumbai with his family. On the other hand, a video posted by Janhvi after the event was canceled is also raising suspicions. In the video, Janhvi, speaking in Telugu, did not mention the cancellation of the event at all, leading to speculation that the video might have been pre-recorded.

Doubts on Tarak Too!



After the pre-release event was canceled, Jr. NTR expressed his disappointment, stating that he missed the opportunity to meet his fans. However, there are rumors online that Jr. NTR had booked a flight ticket to America at 11 PM on the same day as the event. Netizens are arguing that even if the event had taken place, it would have lasted until around 9:30 PM, making it impossible for Tarak to reach the airport in time, considering the traffic in Hyderabad. This has led to speculation that Jr. NTR had prior knowledge of the event cancellation and booked his flight to the US in advance. Additionally, it is alleged that tickets for the pre-release event were sold at prices ranging from ₹1000 to ₹3000, and there is no evidence of refunds being issued. Netizens are accusing the organizers of a big scam involving ticket sales.







Ticket Price Hike



The governments of both Telugu states have approved an increase in ticket prices for the movie ‘Devara,’ directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr. NTR. A hike of ₹25 for single-screen ticket prices and ₹50 for multiplex tickets has been permitted. Furthermore, on September 27th, benefit shows were allowed in 29 theaters at 1 AM and special shows in all theaters across the state at 4 AM. Additionally, the price for all shows on the first day was allowed to increase by ₹100. The Andhra Pradesh government has also permitted a ticket price hike ranging from ₹60 to ₹135 and allowed six shows on the first day, with five shows daily until October 9th.






Controversies and Speculations Surrounding the Abrupt Cancellation of ‘Devara’ Pre-Release Event


Renowned choreographer Jani Master has been embroiled in a sexual harassment case that has caused a sensation across the Telugu states. A female choreographer accused him of sexually harassing her over some time, making it a topic of intense discussion in Tollywood. In response to her complaint, police have already registered a case against Jani Master under IPC sections 376, 506, and 323(2). Amidst this backdrop, a team of Cyberabad SOT police intensified their search and eventually detained him in Goa. He was presented in court there and is being brought back to the city.

What happened?



Jani Master was accused by his assistant of sexual harassment. She complained to the police, saying, "I met Jani Master in 2017. I joined his team as an assistant choreographer in 2019. During a film shoot in Mumbai, I traveled there along with Jani Master and two other assistants. At the hotel there, Jani Master raped me. He threatened to fire me and said I would never work in the film industry again if I told anyone. He took advantage of the opportunity to take us from Hyderabad to other cities for film shootings and raped me multiple times. Even during the shootings, he behaved indecently inside the vanity van," the victim stated in her complaint. Following her complaint, police arrested him on Thursday (September 19). The Cyberabad SOT team apprehended him at a lodge in Goa.







If you've done something wrong, admit it: Manchu Manoj



Since she was a minor, the girl in her complaint alleged that Jani Master had harassed her, prompting police to register a case under the POCSO Act. However, since the case was registered, Jani Master disappeared. Actor Manchu Manoj made intriguing remarks about this. He opined that fleeing when a woman makes accusations sends a dangerous message to society and future generations. He advised Jani Master to face the truth and fight if he hadn’t done anything wrong. "If you have made a mistake, admit it," Manchu Manoj clarified. "Everyone knows how hard Jani Master worked to reach a high position in his career. But seeing these allegations at this level is heartbreaking. The law will determine who is at fault. I congratulate the police for acting swiftly in this matter. This incident clearly shows that no one is above the law," Manoj stated.

Top 20 Romantic Resorts Near Hyderabad Perfect for an Unforgettable Honeymoon Getaway


Cast: Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, Karthik Khandal, Aadi Naidu, Shiva Juturi, and others



Director: Komal R. Bharadwaj



Music: Gyani



Cinematography: Taylor Blumel



Editor: Chota K. Prasad



Producers: Hiranya, Padma, Komal R. Bharadwaj



Release Date: November 8, 2024



'Rahasyam Idham Jagath' stars Rakesh Galebhe, Sravanthi Pattipati, Manasa Veena, Bhargav Gopinatham, and others in key roles. Produced by Padma and Hiranya Ravinuthala under Single Cell Universe Production and directed by Komal R. Bharadwaj, the movie hit theaters today (November 8). Promoted as a film featuring elements of time travel and a multi-universe concept, let’s find out how this film fares.







What's the Story



The story takes place in America. Akira (Sravanthi) and her boyfriend Abhi (Rakesh) plan a trip to India. Before leaving, they decide to go on a trip with old friends (Vishwa, Kalyan, and Aru). They end up in a remote forest village where Akira’s ex, Vishwa, also joins them. Due to heavy snowfall, they are forced to stay the night in a local hotel. One of Akira’s friends, Aru, a scientist, is researching the concept of the multi-universe. A fight ensues, and Abhi ends up killing Akira and Kalyan. At this point, Aru reveals that there is a way to the multi-universe in the village. Desperate to bring his friends back to life, Abhi starts searching for a wormhole to the multi-universe. What happens next? Does Abhi find the wormhole? Can he save his friends? Do Abhi and Akira end up going to India? This is the story.







Performance&nbsp;



Rakesh, known for his hit short films, shines as the lead, particularly in his scenes traveling through the wormhole. Sravanthi impresses as Akira, while Aru fits well in the role of the scientist. Bhargav provides some laughs, and Karthik performs well in a negative role. The fact that the entire shoot took place in America, with training influenced by Hollywood, is evident in the actors' performances. The rest of the cast delivered well within their roles.







Direction



Director Komal R. Bharadwaj seems to have drawn inspiration from Hollywood films like Inception and Interstellar. However, he creatively connects these concepts with events from Indian mythology to resonate with the local audience. The way he links the multi-universe to the Sri Chakra and the wormhole is intriguing. The first half is mostly about the friends’ trip and conflicts, with the multi-universe element introduced right before the interval. In the second half, Abhi’s search for the wormhole and his time travel to save his friends are depicted. The interval scene and climax add strength to the film. However, the heavy use of American actors, the Hollywood-inspired scenes, and dialogues that lack a local touch are notable drawbacks.







Technical Aspects



Technically, the film stands out with its impressive visuals and cinematography, especially in the forest locations. However, the background music often overpowers the dialogues. The songs are decent, though dubbing could have been more refined. Production values are high, complementing the film’s theme well.







Plus Points



Multi-universe storylineMythological link-upCinematography



Minus Points



Slow first halfLack of commercial elements

Top 20 Must-Read Horror Novels to Ignite Your Thrill for Chills


Pan-India star Prabhas has won millions of fans with his acting and his kindness. Particularly recognized for his role in 'Baahubali,' he brought Telugu cinema to a global stage. It can be said that the records created by Prabhas as a movie hero are unparalleled. Today (October 23) is Prabhas' birthday. As he steps into his 45th year, here are some intriguing details about his personal and film career for you.



Average in Studies



Prabhas was an average student academically. He wasn't the type to sit in class for long periods and looked forward to the drill period eagerly. He was known for skipping classes to play games.







Forgetful



Prabhas is somewhat forgetful. He shared in an interview that his friends used to call him 'Ghajini' since his school days. He recounted how he often forgot his pen during exams and would leave his book in one place and forget where it was. He has admitted that he has improved a bit since his childhood.







'You, a Hero?'



At the beginning of his career, when Prabhas told a friend that he wanted to become a film hero, his friend laughed and said, 'You, a hero?' When he shared this with his family, they were initially shocked but later sent him to Satyanand in Visakhapatnam for training. After three months of training, he received the offer for 'Eeswar.'







The Reason Behind the Darling Call



Prabhas frequently uses the word 'Darling' to address his friends and close ones. He explained that he feels uncomfortable calling someone brother or 'anna,' which is why he prefers calling them 'Darling.' Noticing this, director Puri Jagannadh popularized this nickname through the film 'Bujjigadu,' and it became even more popular with the movie 'Darling.'







Guest Roles



The Rebel Star Prabhas appeared in a guest role in the Hindi movie 'Action Jackson' (2014) directed by dance master Prabhu Deva starring Ajay Devgn. In the song 'Punjabi Mast,' he danced alongside Sonakshi Sinha. Decades later, he is set to appear in a guest role in the movie 'Kannappa' and gave a voice-over for the movie 'Denikaina Ready.'







Two Films with His Uncle



The late actor Krishnam Raju was Prabhas’ uncle, and Prabhas entered the industry as his heir. Prabhas deeply admired his uncle and acted with him in films like 'Billa' and 'Rebel.' Prabhas often shares that these two films provided him with many sweet memories.







Thrice With Each



In his career, Prabhas has acted in the most films with two heroines, Trisha and Anushka, sharing the screen three times each. He starred with Trisha in 'Bujjigadu,' 'Varsham,' and 'Pournami.' With Anushka, he acted in 'Billa,' 'Mirchi,' and 'Baahubali.'







The First South Indian Hero



Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor.







If Not an Actor...



Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.






Celebrating #HBD Prabhas: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About the Baahubali Star on His Birthday!


Cast: Alia Bhatt, Rahul Ravindran, Vedang Raina, Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Yuvraj Vijayan, Jasan Shah, Dheer Hira, Aditya Nanda, among others.



Director: Vasan Bala



Music: Achint Thakkar



Cinematography: Swapnil S. Sonawane



Editing: Prerna Saigal



Producers: Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, Apoorva Mehta



Release Date: October 11, 2024



Bollywood beauty Alia Bhatt, after gaining recognition in Telugu cinema with 'RRR' and participating in Hindi 'Devara' promotions, has captured the hearts of Telugu audiences. Now, she takes the lead in the latest action thriller 'Jigra', directed by Vasan Bala. Telugu actor Rahul Ravindran plays a significant role. Released on October 11, this film has made its way to theaters nationwide under the banner of Asian Suresh Entertainment, released by hero Rana Daggubati. Let’s find out how the film fares and if it has won over the Telugu audience.







Plot:



Satyabhama (Alia Bhatt) works as hotel management staff in a wealthy household. Having lost her parents at a young age, she raises her younger brother Ankur Anand (Vedang Raina) herself. Ankur, who has a solid business idea, travels to Hanshi Dao near Malaysia to meet with investors. At a party, he gets caught by the police for using drugs and, under the local laws, is sentenced to death. This pushes Satyabhama to exhaust all possible means to save her brother, but to no avail. Ultimately, she decides that breaking him out of jail is the only option left. Does Satyabhama succeed in her efforts? What roles do Muthu (Rahul Ravindran) and Bhatia (Manoj Pahwa) play in helping her? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.







Performances:



Alia Bhatt delivers a stunning performance as Satyabhama. Her acting in emotional scenes is captivating, and she is incredibly convincing as the sister fighting to save her brother, excelling even in action sequences. Vedang Raina, as her brother, also puts forth a commendable performance. Telugu actor Rahul Ravindran, as Muthu, has landed a pivotal role that significantly impacts the story. Other actors too have justified their roles within the scope of their characters.







Direction:



Director Vasan Bala has crafted this film in the jailbreak genre. Right from the beginning, he successfully establishes the strong bond between the siblings. The audience can truly feel the strong relationship between them. However, the plot tends to drag until Ankur's arrest, after which the pace of the story picks up. The struggles Ankur faces in jail and Satyabhama's efforts to free him are engaging. With her decisive action to break him out, the story takes a thrilling turn, which the director has skillfully depicted. The climax action episode stands out as a highlight of the film. However, the predictable storyline and lack of innovative twists can be seen as drawbacks.







Technically:



Technically, the cinematography is impressive, effectively presenting the prison environment, especially in the climax, which offers some visually stunning shots. The music is satisfactory, with the background score fitting well with the film's tone. Tighter editing could have benefitted the movie. The production values are high.







Plus Points:



- Alia Bhatt’s performance



- Sibling sentiment



- Action sequences



- Cinematography



Minus Points:



- Prolonged scenes



- Predictable narrative

The adulteration scandal of Tirumala laddus has become a topic of intense discussion nationwide. Recently, Pawan Kalyan embarked on a penitential walking pilgrimage to Tirumala, concluding his vow. Afterwards, at a public gathering in Tirupati hosted by Varahi, he spoke about the ongoing assaults on Sanatana Dharma. During this event, he strongly criticized Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin’s past remarks about eradicating Sanatana Dharma. This prompted the DMK and Udhayanidhi's social media wing to target Pawan, trying to tarnish his image by discussing his personal matters. In response, Pawan’s fans massively opposed Udhayanidhi's IT cell with numerous posts. Due to the impact from Pawan's fans, many accounts that had previously trolled Pawan on a large scale have now been closed.



A netizen posted from their hostel in Chennai that discussions about Sanatana Dharma are prevalent, crediting Pawan Kalyan for the same. He predicted that in the upcoming elections, the ruling DMK would be confined to just one seat.




https://twitter.com/Deepika_JSP/status/1843293613029200362




Pawan Kalyan has also been countering actor Prakash Raj, who continues to attack him on social media. Mockingly referring to Prakash Raj as a loser, they reminded him of his crushing defeat in the 2019 Bangalore Central elections.




https://twitter.com/nrkaravindh/status/1843349508127916391




The real nature of individuals posting derogatory comments against Pawan Kalyan's Sanatana Dharma campaign has been exposed by fans. It was revealed that the person running the We Dravidians 2.0 account, which posted offensive comments, is of a different religion and has acquired Malaysian citizenship.




https://twitter.com/HPhobiaWatch/status/1843251985178657133




Due to heavy targeting by Pawan’s fans, the admin of the We Dravidians 2.0 page had to close it. A post by a netizen that ridiculed the CM, reducing his capability to just 11 seats, has gone viral.




https://twitter.com/lyf_a_zindagii/status/1843309397952598086





https://twitter.com/Nanda_927/status/1843287653699211585




Fans have strongly responded to trolls claiming that Udhayanidhi Stalin, compared to Pawan Kalyan, is more educated. They reminded everyone that Pawan, despite being just a 10th-grade pass, donated ₹2 crores during the Chennai floods, while the highly educated Udhayanidhi hasn’t spent a single rupee from his own pocket. They also made a stark comparison to Osama Bin Laden, noting that despite being a civil engineer, he bombed many buildings.




https://twitter.com/parandhamdalit/status/1842842605828415846




By standing up to Udhayanidhi's IT cell, netizens are discussing once again the influence of Pawan Kalyan in social media. Fans are unitedly posting against forces opposing Pawan.




https://twitter.com/lordshivom/status/1843026533906059587




A video posted by a fan, suggesting that one must get past Pawan’s mass fanbase to oppose him, has gone viral.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1843210460226867648





https://twitter.com/PK_Addicts/status/1843004204392088060




A video showing how Pawan Kalyan effectively neutralized the once ruling YSRCP and former CM Jagan, is making rounds extensively.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1843210675512086692





https://twitter.com/JSPGovtIn2024/status/1843221542920159417




A recent poll conducted by a Tamil YouTube channel on this issue showed that a whopping 89% of participants support Pawan Kalyan.

Pawan Kalyan Fans Take on Udhayanidhi Stalin: A Social Media Showdown Over Sanatana Dharma


The pre-release event of the movie 'KA', starring Tollywood's young hero Kiran Abbavaram, took place grandly on Tuesday. Akkineni Naga Chaitanya also attended the event as the chief guest. However, Kiran Abbavaram's emotional speech during the event became a topic of discussion on social media. But the discussion was not about the movie 'KA'. Recently, Kiran expressed his distress about the trolling he has been facing on social media.



Until now, Kiran Abbavaram has been the target of various trolls. He used to ignore them and continue with his work. However, this time, he felt the trolling had crossed limits and responded strongly. His comments have now sparked discussions in the industry. During this occasion, Kiran mentioned that a scene from a movie was used to troll him without his consent.




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




"I came from doing short films. Just doing my work, releasing two or three movies a year. And yet, some people in one of those movies trolled me! About me! What relevance does it have? Why is there a need to troll me in a movie? I'm just asking respectfully... Why me? I'm just doing my job. Did I ever ask you for anything? What? Direct trolling on me in a movie and I didn't even know about it. Bro, Kiran bro, we are putting something about you in a movie. When my fans show me that even in this movie they are trolling you... I am asking respectfully? What did I do to deserve trolling in your movie?" he said emotionally.




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




After Kiran's speech, people began to search for what that movie could be.



However, the scene Kiran referred to was from a scene in last year's Kannada dubbed movie 'Hostel Students'. The film was dubbed into Telugu by 'Chai Biscuit' production. In the starting scene of this movie, two students discuss a trailer of a movie starring Kiran Abbavaram. One says, "Kiran Abbavaram's trailer has come out," and the other mockingly says, "Has it come out again?" Given that Kiran had been actively doing movies at that time, it seemed like a satirical comment directed at him. He expressed his anguish about this at the event but did not mention the name of the movie or the makers. However, he clearly expressed his distress about the matter.



The response to Kiran's speech was positive on social media. Amidst some baseless trolls, one netizen commented, "It doesn't matter, bro." Another tried to console him, "Elephants keep walking as dogs bark. Don't mind them, Kiran bro."




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




The movie 'KA' is set to release globally on Diwali (October 31). The trailer, already released, has garnered a positive response from the audience. The movie is produced on a Pan India level, featuring Tanviram and Nayan Sarika as the heroines, directed by the duo Sujit Maddel and Sandeep Maddel.

While many know him simply as Pawan Kalyan's son, let’s uncover 10 lesser-known secrets about him.



Akira Nandan was born to Pawan and Renu Desai on April 8, 2004. At that time, Pawan had not yet married Renu Desai. They married in 2009 and separated in 2012.







Anyone would be captivated by Akira’s cutout. He reminds people of Prabhas, Rana, and Varun Tej in terms of height. Currently, he stands at 6 feet 4 inches.







Akira’s education took place in Hyderabad. He studied at the Oakridge International School. Akira is very fond of playing cricket.







Interestingly, Akira’s favorite actor is not Power Star Pawan Kalyan but the young hero Adivi Sesh. This was revealed by Akira's mother, Renu Desai, some time ago.







Among the young heroes in the industry, Akira has a best friend — none other than Adivi Sesh. This was shared by Adivi Sesh during the promotions of the movie 'Major'. Despite the age gap, they are good friends and meet often.







Akira is known for his gentle nature. Those close to him say he doesn’t show any airs of being the son of a star hero and a deputy CM.







Currently, Akira is not living with the Mega family or his mother Renu Desai. He resides in a hostel in Hyderabad, and his needs are looked after by Pawan Kalyan.







Renu Desai has taken great care to ensure Akira doesn’t feel bad about the divorce from Pawan Kalyan. She repeatedly tells him that they separated due to political reasons to prevent any hard feelings towards his father.







Akira Nandan has acted as a child artist in a movie. He first appeared on screen in the movie 'Ishq Wala Love', directed by his mother in 2014.







As of now, Akira has no interest in acting. However, he has a strong passion for music and has learned to play the piano. Additionally, he is skilled in yoga, martial arts, and kickboxing.
