      Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?
      Anirudh's Tollywood Takeover: A New Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri?
      Anirudh Ravichander is currently creating waves in the South Indian music scene. Originating from Kollywood, this music sensation has gained immense popularity through movies like 'Raghuvaram B.Tech', 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Beast'. His presence guarantees significant hype for the movies. Particularly among the youth, Anirudh's songs and background scores resonate well. Recently, he also delivered a stunning soundtrack for the film 'Devara' starring Tarak, reinforcing the trust placed in him. Although Anirudh has primarily focused on Kollywood until now, it seems he is shifting his focus to Tollywood, sparking discussions about the challenges this poses to local music directors. A Craze in Telugu Cinema! The young music sensation Anirudh has a strong following in Telugu cinema as well. He has directly worked on Telugu films like 'Agnyaathavaasi', 'Jersey', 'Gang Leader', and 'UTurn'. While his music in these films was a hit, there wasn't much discussion about Anirudh in Tollywood. However, with recent films like 'Vikram', 'Jailer', and 'Jawan', his reputation has soared to a Pan-India level. The youth are particularly enamored with his background music. These films being dubbed in Telugu also meant that Anirudh’s music was thoroughly enjoyed by the Telugu audience, who listened to his songs on repeat. Due to the demand from NTR's fans, Anirudh was also brought into the 'Devara' project, as recently disclosed by the makers. A Series of Offers in Tollywood! Following the success of 'Devara', Anirudh's name is being increasingly heard in Tollywood. Telugu audiences are eager to experience his music in theaters once again. Noticing this interest, Telugu filmmakers are showing a keen desire to work with Anirudh. Observing the reception in Telugu cinema, Anirudh has decided to amp up his involvement in Tollywood projects. Reportedly, he has given the green light to 'VD12', a project in collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda and Gowtam Tinnanuri, and has also agreed to score music for an upcoming film by Nani and Srikanth Odela. Other directors are also reaching out to Anirudh for their movies, with talks suggesting he might take on up to half a dozen Telugu projects in the coming days. A Challenge for Thaman and Devi Sri? Music directors Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad have been the top choices in Tollywood for the past few years, typically scoring music for five to eight out of every ten releases. They have been the first two preferences for Telugu directors. However, analysts believe that with Anirudh’s entry, both face stiff competition. Until recently, Anirudh had not prioritized Tollywood, but now that he is focusing on Telugu films, it poses a significant challenge to them. It remains to be seen how Thaman and Devi Sri will fare against the wave of Anirudh's mania. If These Click, Stopping Them is Tough! Thaman is currently composing for a film Game Changer directed by Shankar starring Ram Charan. The songs 'Jaragandi Jaragandi' and 'Ra Macha Macha' have already been released to a positive response. Similarly, Thaman is also scoring for Pawan Kalyan's 'OG', and the song 'Hungry Cheetah' has thrilled Pawan's fans. Meanwhile, Thaman has been chosen as the music director for 'Akhanda 2', a sequel directed by Boyapati featuring Balakrishna. On the other hand, Devi Sri Prasad is handling the music for 'Pushpa 2'. The title song and 'Suseki Aggiravva Madiri' from 'Pushpa' have already amassed millions of views on YouTube. If these projects succeed, it could be tough for anyone to challenge Thaman and Devi Sri’s dominance in the industry.

      Venkat Prabhu Faces Backlash Over Telugu Audience Criticism After 'The Goat' Underperforms
      Venkat Prabhu Faces Backlash Over Telugu Audience Criticism After 'The Goat' Underperforms
      The latest film starring Kollywood star hero Vijay, titled 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time), released on September 5 and has been a massive hit in Tamil Nadu, even crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark with impressive overseas collections. However, the film seems to be facing strong resistance in the Telugu and Hindi markets. In this context, the film's director Venkat Prabhu responded, sparking a heated debate on social media. 'That's Why They Didn't Like It' In Telugu and Hindi, 'The Goat' (The Greatest Of All Time) did not meet the expected levels of success. Mythri Movie Makers, a prominent production company, purchased the film for Rs. 22 crores in Telugu, but so far, it has only grossed Rs. 10 crores. Current circumstances suggest that even breaking even may be difficult. Against this backdrop, director Venkat Prabhu took to social media to express his views. He suggested that scenes related to Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni, which were highlights, did not resonate well with Telugu and Hindi audiences, which might be why the film underperformed in these regions. He also accused fans of the IPL teams from Mumbai and Bangalore of excessively trolling his film, attributing this to his known fandom of Chennai Super Kings. Venkat Prabhu's comments have become a hot topic on social media. https://twitter.com/TheAakashavaani/status/1833133203697131918 Telugu Audience Fires Back..! Telugu audiences are strongly criticizing Venkat Prabhu's recent comments. They are posting online that there are other reasons for 'The Goat's disaster performance in Telugu. Comments suggest that if the content is good, they support films irrespective of the industry. They remind the director of the massive success his previous film 'Maanaadu' had in Telugu, indicating that MS Dhoni also has a huge fanbase in the Telugu states, with stadiums filling up in yellow jerseys whenever a CSK match is played in Hyderabad. They are requesting that the actual reasons for 'The Goat's failure be investigated. Reasons for the Flop in Telugu Are These! Director Venkat Prabhu made 'The Goat' with a routine story where Vijay played dual roles as father and son. Despite the terrorism backdrop, it lacked the twists typically seen in agent films. There were no twists or turns in the story, and even the operations conducted by the hero lacked thrill. Additionally, unnecessary songs and Yogi Babu's comedy track tested the patience of the Telugu audience. However, the action sequences and the IPL track in the climax managed to generate some excitement. Dhoni Said No! 'The Goat' featured many cameo roles. Sivakarthikeyan and Trisha appeared as guests, and India's former cricket captain MS Dhoni was also shown during the climax using IPL visuals. Director Venkat Prabhu originally intended to have a scene with Dhoni in the film, but since Dhoni did not agree, they had to resort to using IPL visuals. The 20-minute climax episode captivated cricket lovers immensely. Furious Over Negative Reviews Director Venkat Prabhu responded to the negative reviews of 'The Goat.' "People don't talk about the effort we put into making the film. Some intentionally post negative comments. We included references in the film not found in any other movie, all to celebrate every hero fan. The film wasn't made just for the guest appearances but was crafted to include everything audiences desire. We made this film for the audience, not the reviewers," he stated.

      One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?
      One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?
      The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report. Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja. Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.' Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.' Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads. Scheduled for release on October 31, 'Mechanic Rocky' has sparked curiosity among viewers. Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.' Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans. Despite being a horror film, 'Baak' failed to make a significant impact at the box office. Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister. Released on August 11 last year, the film failed to captivate the audience.

      Telugu IPL Players: Telugu cricketers in Cricket from IPL's Inception to Present
      Telugu IPL Players: Telugu cricketers in Cricket from IPL's Inception to Present
      [toc] Cricket is the first sport that comes to mind in India, cutting across barriers of caste, religion, language, and region, and is embraced by individuals from every stratum of society. Cricketers are often idolized like celebrities, their popularity reaching stellar heights. The affection and admiration for cricketers representing Team India are immense. Icons like Sachin Tendulkar, M.S. Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli enjoy fan bases both domestically and internationally. The representation of players from the Telugu regions in such a pivotal sport has been on the rise. There was a time when the name of a Telugu cricketer would primarily evoke the memory of V.V.S. Laxman and Mohammed Azharuddin. Today, however, the scenario has evolved. Several young talents from the Telugu states are emerging on the national scene, with many already having earned recognition and success playing for India. This exclusive report by YouSay highlights the journey and achievements of these athletes in cricket. Nitish Kumar Reddy Telugu cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy burst onto the scene during the 2024 IPL season. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Nitish has showcased exceptional skills in batting, bowling, and fielding. He has established himself as a dependable all-rounder, particularly shining in critical moments of the game. Background Nitish Kumar Reddy was born on May 26, 2003, in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, into a lower middle-class family. His father, Muthyala Reddy, was previously employed at Hindustan Zinc. Nitish began playing cricket at just five years old. Inspired by watching matches at the Hindustan Zinc company grounds and starting with a plastic ball, he was encouraged by his father to pursue cricket professionally. Early in his career, Nitish attended training camps at the Visakhapatnam ground and later joined the ACA Academy in Kadapa. With the support of former chief selector M.S.K. Prasad further developed his cricketing skills. First Class Cricket As an opening batsman in age-group cricket and a medium pacer, Nitish Kumar Reddy has shown considerable prowess. He played for the Under-19 B team, where he effectively displayed his cricketing skills. Nitish made his first-class debut during the 2019-20 Ranji season. Since then, he has participated in 7 matches, amassing one century and one half-century, for a total of 366 runs. In List A cricket, representing the Andhra team, Nitish has played 22 matches, batting in 15 innings and scoring 403 runs with an average of 36.63, which includes 25 fours and 21 sixes. His highest score is 60 not out. In the List A T20 format, he has played 14 matches, scoring 311 runs with a commendable average of 38.87 and a top score of 76 not out. Additionally, his bowling record in List A includes 14 wickets in 22 matches, with an economy rate of 5.81. Turning Point The selection for the IPL marked a significant turning point in Nitish Kumar Reddy's career. After his impressive performances in first-class cricket, he was drafted by the Sunrisers franchise in 2023 for a base price of Rs. 20 lakhs. Though he saw limited opportunities in his debut season, the Sunrisers had specific plans for him as a finisher in the following season. In a critical match against Chennai (CSK vs SRH), Nitish was positioned in the lower middle order and scored 14 runs off 8 balls, contributing to his team's victory. Encouraged by his potential, the Sunrisers management promoted him up the batting order in a subsequent match against Punjab. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, Nitish quickly scored a half-century, amassing 64 runs from 37 balls, which included 4 fours and 5 sixes, proving invaluable to his team. This performance notably enhanced his visibility on the national stage and became a pivotal moment in his cricketing journey. IPL Performance So far, in the IPL, Nitish Kumar Reddy has played 10 matches, scoring 239 runs at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 154.23, including two half-centuries. These statistics are all from this season. Though he played only two matches in the previous season, his bowling was limited. Reviewing his IPL bowling stats, he has taken 3 wickets in 9 matches, conceding 124 runs for 73 runs scored against him, with best bowling figures of 2/17. Future Team India All-Rounder There has always been a demand for pace all-rounders in Team India. After Hardik Pandya, the BCCI is on the lookout for a suitable pace all-rounder. Observers analyzing Nitish's batting style, variety in bowling, and dynamic fielding suggest that he is a suitable candidate for this role. Consistent performance in tournaments and maintaining fitness could soon see Nitish donning the Team India jersey. Sports experts predict that Nitish will evolve as a future all-rounder for Team India.

After V.V.S. Laxman, there was a felt absence of a dedicated Telugu batsman in Team India, a void that lingered for a while. However, the emergence of Tilak Varma (Telugu IPL Players) has shifted that narrative. This young cricketer has demonstrated his prowess in the IPL and while playing for Team India, showcasing his capabilities not only in batting but also in taking key wickets occasionally with his bowling. Background Tilak Varma was born on November 8, 2002, in Hyderabad. His father, Namburi Nagaraju, is an electrician, and his mother, Gayatri Devi, is a housewife. Tilak studied in Crescent Model School and completed his intermediate education at Lepakshi Junior College. He is currently pursuing a BBA at Andhra University. Tilak started playing cricket with a tennis ball at the age of 11 and received training at the Legal Cricket Academy in Lingampally. First-Class Cricket Tilak Varma made his debut for the Hyderabad team in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy season. In that tournament, Tilak played 7 matches and scored 215 runs at a strike rate of 147.26, showcasing his potential. He also played well in the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy, scoring 180 runs in 5 matches. His performances in the Under 19 World Cup in 2020 and the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2021-22 caught the attention of IPL franchises. https://twitter.com/JioCinema/status/1782432666161123633 IPL Performance During the 2022 IPL auction, the Mumbai Indians acquired Tilak Varma. Starting with a base price of Rs. 20 lakhs, he was ultimately purchased for Rs. 1.7 crores. In just his second appearance of that season, Tilak made a striking impact by scoring 61 runs off 31 balls. In the 2023 IPL season, he continued to impress by scoring 84 runs from 46 balls in a match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Over the 2022 season, Tilak participated in 14 matches and amassed 397 runs, maintaining an average of 36.09. His form persisted into the 2023 season, during which he played 11 matches and scored 343 runs at an average of 42.88. In the ongoing 17th IPL season, Tilak has continued his consistent performance, playing 11 matches and scoring 347 runs at an average of 38.56 and a strike rate of 151.53. Team India Performance In July 2023, Tilak Varma was selected for the Indian team for the T20 series against the West Indies. In his debut match, he scored 39 runs from 22 balls and was the top scorer for the team. In his second T20, he scored his first half-century for India. Later in 2022, Tilak was selected for the Ireland tour and represented India at the Asian Games in China the same year. Based on his IPL performances, everyone expected Tilak Varma to be selected for the T20 World Cup, but unfortunately, he was not.

Siraj, who faced numerous challenges at the start of his career, has quickly established himself as a bowler for Team India with his bowling talent. Currently, he is considered one of the top pacers in the Indian team, second only to Jasprit Bumrah in capability. It is no exaggeration to say that Siraj has also been selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Background Mohammed Siraj was born into a modest family in Toli Chowki, Hyderabad, on March 13, 1994. His father, Mohammed Ghouse, drove an auto for a living. Siraj did not receive any formal coaching during his childhood. He practiced his bowling at the local Eidgah Maidan. Possessing good pace and swing in his bowling, he was selected for the HCA Division League. His performance there led to his selection for the Hyderabad Under-23 team. First-Class Cricket Siraj showed his prowess in the Under-23 team and was selected for the Hyderabad Ranji Trophy team in 2016.
