      The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story
      The Boy Who Wore 'Johnny' Headband for 7 Days Now Directs His Icon Pawan Kalyan: Sujeeth's Story
      Young director Sujeeth (HBD Sujeeth) has carved a unique niche for himself in Tollywood. Although he has directed only two films so far, he has garnered a craze that many directors achieve only after many more films. Starting with 'Run Raja Run' as a director, Sujeeth caught everyone's attention at the pan-India level with 'Saaho'. Currently, he is directing 'OG' with Pawan Kalyan, capturing the mega fans' focus. Today, this talented director steps into his 34th year. Let's take a look at some secrets of his career. Making Short Films at 17 Sujeeth Reddy was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on October 26, 1990. Initially dreaming of becoming a Chartered Accountant, his growing interest in films led him to enroll in the L.V. Prasad Film & TV Academy. He started making short films on YouTube at the age of 17 and has directed over 30 short films to date. Creativity in Short Films Typically, YouTube short films are made on a low budget and are not expected to meet high standards. However, Sujeeth's films like 'Run Raja Run', 'Prema Ishq Kaadhal', 'Thokkalo Love Story', 'Vesham', 'Yuddham', 'Prema Care of Drama', and 'Indian Idol' surprised the film industry with their richness and showcased his mesmerizing creativity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Initial Family Resistance When Sujeeth expressed his desire to become a director, his family was initially reluctant. However, seeing his dedication to cinema, they eventually supported his decision. His mother even bought him his first camera with her own money, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry. Guidance from Puri Jagannadh Upon entering the industry with the aim to direct, Sujeeth initially decided to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. Meeting him, Puri recognized Sujeeth's abundant directorial skills and encouraged him to pursue directing. Director at 23 While trying for a directorial break, UV Creations recognized Sujeeth's talent and offered him a chance to direct 'Run Raja Run'. Thus, at just 23, Sujeeth became a director and achieved solid success with his debut film. Turning a Short Film into a Feature Interestingly, 'Run Raja Run', which brought him significant recognition, was originally a short film that Sujeeth transformed into his first full-length feature by making a few changes to the story. Before 'Baahubali' UV Creations, which produced Prabhas's 'Mirchi', planned a second film with him and accepted a story from Sujeeth, which Prabhas liked. However, 'Baahubali' has not been released yet. After 'Baahubali', Prabhas's fame skyrocketed, leading Sujeeth to make adjustments to the story, and thus 'Saaho' was made on a pan-India scale. Despite not achieving expected success, Sujeeth's work at such a young age surprised everyone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) From Fan to Directing Pawan Kalyan Sujeeth has been a fervent fan of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, mentioning in interviews that he went to see 'Johnny' with a band around his head and kept it for seven days. He also attended 'Gabbar Singh' release as a rally. Rising from that stage to directing Pawan Kalyan in 'OG' is no small feat. Love for Japanese Cinema Director Sujeeth has a special affinity for Japanese cinema, which he openly discussed in interviews. He mentioned that Japanese films also influenced 'OG', the film he is currently directing with Pawan Kalyan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Traveling with Friends Whenever Sujeeth gets time, he loves to travel with his friends around the world, sharing pictures from their trips on his Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Passion for Cricket Sujeeth is a big cricket enthusiast, frequently mentioning Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar as his favorite players. Devotion Sujeeth is quite devout, often visiting temples whenever he finds the time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sujeeth (@sujeethsign) Married to His Sweetheart Director Sujeeth had a love marriage in 2020, tying the knot with Pravallika in the presence of family members. https://twitter.com/Filmiparadise/status/1271319435127603205 Nominated as Best Debut Director For his first film 'Run Raja Run', Sujeeth was nominated as the Best Debut Director at the Nandi Awards. His second film, 'Saaho', earned him a Best Director award at the SIIMA. Birthday Special Video Today, on director Sujeeth's birthday, the 'OG' team shared a special video sending him birthday wishes, compiling clips related to Sujeeth from the shooting spot. This video, a birthday gift from DVV Entertainments, is currently going viral. https://twitter.com/i/status/1850075370994925843

      Power Star's Son Akira: 10 Surprising Facts About the 6'4" Star Kid Who Doesn't Live with Mega Family
      Power Star's Son Akira: 10 Surprising Facts About the 6'4" Star Kid Who Doesn't Live with Mega Family
      Power Star Pawan Kalyan's son, Akira Nandan, always manages to stay in the news one way or another. Recently, Akira's name surged into the trending list again. There have been reports that he is playing a crucial role in Pawan Kalyan’s movie 'OG'. Fans are hoping that Akira will make his film debut with this Pawan movie. 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.

      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Diverse and Bold: Young Telugu Heroes Redefining Cinema with Unique Script Choices
      Telugu cinema's young heroes are being particularly careful with their choice of scripts, showing interest only if the story offers something new. Otherwise, they unhesitatingly reject routine stories, setting an example that even veterans like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Ravi Teja, Ram Pothineni, Nithiin, and Gopichand could take note of. Young actor Suhas is soon to appear in a unique story titled 'Gorre Puranam'. This backdrop has reignited discussions about the innovative subjects young heroes are choosing. Who are these young heroes bringing new stories to life? What movies have they done? Let's delve into this special report. Suhas Starting with minor roles in the industry, Suhas became famous almost overnight with the movie 'Colour Photo'. Building on the fame from his short films, he seized opportunities in cinema. He earned good recognition from the audience by acting in diverse films like 'Writer Padmabhushan', 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band', 'Sriranga Neethulu', and 'Prasanna Vadanam'. Moreover, he made an impact as a villain in the movie 'HIT 2'. Recently, he's gearing up to present another novel subject with 'Gorrepuranam', releasing this Friday (September 20). Teja Sajja Starting as a child actor, Teja Sajja transitioned to a lead role with 'Zombie Reddy'. Despite his first film establishing him as hero material, subsequent diverse films like 'Ishq' and 'Adbhutham' did not earn much fame. However, he achieved a solid hit nationally with 'Hanuman', directed by Prasanth Varma. This success resonated well, enhancing Teja Sajja's reputation. Currently, he's involved in another pan-India film titled 'Miraya', where Manchu Manoj plays the villain. The already released teaser of 'Miraya' has raised expectations. Nikhil Siddhartha Nikhil Siddhartha grabbed everyone’s attention with 'Happy Days'. Post that film, he continued to captivate the youth with solo hero films. His journey includes significant roles in films like 'Swamy Ra Ra', 'Karthikeya', 'Surya vs Surya', 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada', and 'Karthikeya 2', establishing him as a reliable hero. Currently, he's part of the historical film 'Swayambhu', produced by Ram Charan, and also 'Karthikeya 3' is in his lineup. Vishwak Sen Vishwak Sen, known among the youth as a mass hero, has been careful to ensure diversity in his films from the start. His initial movie 'Vellipomakey' didn't make a big splash, but 'Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi' brought him significant youth following. Following that, 'Falaknuma Das', a mass action drama, secured another success. His roles in 'HIT', 'Paagal', 'Ashoka Vanamlo Arjuna Kalyanam', 'Ori Devuda', 'Das Ka Dhamki', 'Gaami', and 'Gangs of Godavari' further cemented his status as a star in Telugu cinema. Currently, he's involved in 'Mechanic Rocky' and 'Laila', where his appearance in a lady getup in 'Laila' is noteworthy. Adivi Sesh Adivi Sesh initially appeared in a minor role in the movie 'Sontham' led by Aryan Rajesh. His breakout role as a hero was in 'Karma'. He gained recognition as a villain in Pawan Kalyan’s 'Panjaa'. With important roles in 'Run Raja Run', 'Baahubali', and a series of diverse films like 'Kshanam', 'Goodachari', 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'HIT 2', Adivi Sesh transformed into a reputable hero. Especially with 'Major', his market reach significantly expanded. He's currently working on the sequel to 'Goodachari', expected to be a pan-India release, poised to further boost his career if successful. Siddhu Jonnalagadda Starting with a role in Naga Chaitanya’s debut 'Josh', Siddhu Jonnalagadda didn't see much career growth despite diverse roles in movies like 'Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu', 'Orange', and 'Guntur Talkies'. However, he struck blockbuster success with 'DJ Tillu', and its sequel continued this trend. The sequel, 'Tillu Square', notably grossed ₹135 crore. He is currently acting in 'Jack' and 'Telusu Kada', with 'Tillu Cube' also in the pipeline. Narne Nithiin Junior NTR’s brother-in-law, Narne Nithiin made his debut with the youthful entertainer 'MAD', which was a success at the box office and connected well with the youth due to its college backdrop. His subsequent film 'Aay', set in a village backdrop, showcased his diversity and was also successful. After a subdued presence in 'MAD', Nithiin’s performance in 'Aay' was much improved, excelling in acting, dance, and comedy, and effectively conveying emotions.
