      Priyanka Mohan's Journey from Engineer to South Cinema Star: Celebrating Her Rise on Her Birthday!
      Priyanka Mohan's Journey from Engineer to South Cinema Star: Celebrating Her Rise on Her Birthday!
      Priyanka Arul Mohan is among the leading actresses from South India. Having faced many challenges at the start of her career, she is now continuing as a star heroine. She has earned a unique recognition for herself by acting alongside star heroes like Suriya, Dhanush, Nani, Sivakarthikeyan, and Jayam Ravi. Currently, she is catching everyone's eye by acting in 'OG' alongside Pawan. Today is Priyanka Mohan's birthday (HBD Priyanka Mohan), marking her entry into the 29th year. Let’s take this opportunity to learn some interesting aspects of her career. Priyanka Mohan was born on November 20, 1995, in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, where she also completed her education, earning a degree in Biological Engineering. Priyanka's mother is Kannadiga while her father is of Tamil descent, which made her proficient in both Kannada and Tamil. During her engineering studies, Priyanka participated in several plays and acted in two or three commercials. Priyanka revealed in an interview that her friends pooled money to make a movie with her during that time. She clarified that her first Kannada film was 'Ondu Kathe Hella,' but she didn’t tell her family she was making the film. After its release, her family was shocked to see Priyanka in the film but didn't say a word and instead encouraged her. Despite her interest in acting, Priyanka never thought about entering films; she dreamed of securing a good job. If she hadn’t entered the industry, Priyanka mentioned she would have been working in a reputable corporate firm by now. Priyanka made her Telugu debut with 'Gang Leaders.' On her first day of shooting, seeing veteran actors like Lakshmi and Saranya made her very nervous. She questioned her worthiness of acting with such accomplished actors and directly asked the director Vikram if he had made a hasty decision in casting her. From a young age, Priyanka admired Suriya. She was thrilled to get a chance to act with him in 'ET.' After shooting, when Suriya sent her a gift, she excitedly posted it on Instagram. Priyanka is known for her gentle nature, speaks very little wherever she goes, and has very few friends. She admires actresses like Nithya Menen, Anushka, and Nazriya, and loves their acting, as she has mentioned on multiple occasions. Unlike other actresses who might take off on vacations if there’s a shooting gap, Priyanka prefers to rest at home or engage in her favorite activities during her free time, occasionally going on trips. Getting up early in the morning is quite challenging for Priyanka, and she admitted in an interview that she used to be very lazy about exercising in the early days of her career. Priyanka is an excellent cook, especially of chicken dishes, which she claims to prepare very deliciously. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyanka Mohan (@priyankaamohanofficial) She emphasized that her day must start with a cup of coffee; without it, her day doesn't start at all. Priyanka tries to be the same off-screen as she appears in films, preferring traditional roles over glamorous ones. In Telugu, she has acted in 'Gang Leader,' 'Sreekaram,' and recently in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' and is currently acting with Pawan in 'OG.' In Tamil, she has worked with Sivakarthikeyan in 'Doctor' and 'Don,' and with Dhanush in 'Captain Miller,' all of which were also dubbed into Telugu.

      'Satyam Sundaram' Movie Review: An Emotional Journey with Stellar Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy
      Cast: Karthi, Aravind Swamy, Srividya, Rajkiran, among others. Written and Directed by: C. Prem Kumar Music by: Govind Vasantha Cinematography: Mahendran Jayaraju Editing by: R. Govind Raju Produced by: Jyothika, Suriya Release Date: 28-09-2024 In the C. Prem Kumar directorial, starring Tamil star hero Karthi who previously delighted audiences with feel-good movies like '96', the film titled 'Meiyazhagan' in Tamil, has been brought to the Telugu audience as 'Satyam Sundaram'. Aravind Swamy plays a pivotal role in this film, which is notably produced under the banner of 2D Entertainment by Suriya and Jyothika. Released today (September 28), how does this film fare? Did it manage to impress the audience? Let's delve into the review. What's the Story Satyam (Aravind Swamy), hailing from Guntur, leaves his home and village due to property disputes and relocates to Visakhapatnam. After 30 years, a situation arises requiring him to return to his village for his niece’s wedding. Upon his return, Satyam reconnects with a relative (Karthi) at the wedding. Calling each other 'Bava' (brother-in-law), they bond over numerous conversations. Initially irritated by Karthi’s intrusive manners, Satyam eventually warms up to his affection and admiration. What turns does their journey take? How does Satyam rediscover himself through this journey? What is the nature of his relationship with the person he calls 'Bava'? Does he finally remember his name, or not? That forms the rest of the story. How Did They Perform Aravind Swamy perfectly embodies Satyam, taking us along on his journey through his remarkable performance. We feel every emotion that Satyam experiences, from his pain to his discomfort. Karthi charms once again with his innocence, captivating as a typical young man from a village showing boundless love. This role will be remembered as a highlight in Karthi’s career. Devadarshini, playing the wife of Aravind Swamy, delivers a commendable performance. Having previously only played comedic and supporting roles, she proves her ability to handle a role with depth with ease. Srividya, Rajkiran, and Jayaprakash, although in minor roles, significantly impact the story. The rest of the cast performed well within their roles. Direction The director, C. Prem Kumar, attempts to convey that for a person to live happily, the presence of a loving individual is as necessary as money and fame. The film starts intriguingly, showing why Satyam left his village. His return for a wedding, the introduction of Karthi’s character, his mischief, and the troubles Satyam faces with Karthi unknowingly, are all portrayed entertainingly. The director shifts the setting to Karthi’s home, where Satyam’s experiences are heartfelt and take the audience back in time. The mental turmoil Satyam goes through upon not recognizing Karthi adds weight to the narrative. The climax is also well-executed. The film, like a beautiful novel, successfully comes to life on screen, directed flawlessly by Kumar. The slow pace of the story and lack of commercial elements could be seen as drawbacks. Technically On the technical front, the background music adds an additional layer of allure to the story, with a continual melody that enhances the emotional depth of the narrative. The visuals are captivating, and the production values are high. Plus Points - Story and emotions - Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy - Music Minus Points - Slow-paced narrative - Lack of commercial elements Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

Tollywood's young hero, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, is getting ready to marry again following his divorce from star heroine Samantha. He is poised to tie the knot with renowned actress Sobhita Dhulipala. Their engagement recently took place, and photos from the event have gone viral online.

Here’s to endless love, 8.8.8.” Many netizens responded to this post, extending their best wishes to the new couple. https://twitter.com/iamnagarjuna/status/1821450886238851531 A Two-Year Romance The engagement between Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita didn't surprise anyone as there have been rumors of their relationship for some time. Chay and Sobhita have reportedly been dating for the past two years, and their holiday trip photos have widely circulated online, winning the hearts of Akkineni fans. Thus, everyone expected them to eventually marry, and as anticipated, their engagement was celebrated grandly in the presence of friends and relatives. Divorce with Samantha It’s well known that Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star heroine Samantha, whom he met during the film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', which blossomed into love. They got married in 2017 and were celebrated as the best couple. However, after four years, conflicts arose, shocking their fans, and in 2021, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha parted ways. Now, each living their separate lives, Chaitanya’s readiness to remarry has delighted Akkineni fans. Did You Know These About Sobhita? Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, and emerged as the winner of the Femina Miss India title in 2013. She entered the film industry with the Bollywood movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016. Following that, she gained recognition with films like 'Chef' and 'KaalaKaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita was introduced to Tollywood through the film 'Goodachari', captivating the Telugu youth audience with her charm. She later played significant roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', receiving accolades for her performances. Recently, she also starred in the American film 'Monkey Man'. Currently, she is working on a Hindi movie titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Sobhita is Bolder than Samantha! There was intense speculation that Samantha’s bold role in 'The Family Man' web series led to their divorce, among other reasons like her item song in the movie 'Pushpa'. However, now Sobhita Dhulipala, who is set to marry Naga Chaitanya, has sparked interest for her on-screen presence, having performed more boldly than Samantha in several scenes. Netizens recall her daring performance in the web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intimate scenes there. She also made a splash in 'The Night Manager' and 'Monkey Man' with bold and intimate scenes. Now, netizens are questioning how Naga Chaitanya, who divorced Samantha for her bold scenes, is set to marry Sobhita, who is known for even bolder roles.

      Prabhas Goes from Cop to Gangster in 'Spirit' – A Journey Inspired by Gopichand's 'Golimaar'?
      Prabhas Goes from Cop to Gangster in 'Spirit' – A Journey Inspired by Gopichand's 'Golimaar'?
      Pan-India star Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are currently riding high in their careers. While Prabhas's recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' was a hit, Sandeep Reddy's 'Animal' shook the Indian box office. Now, their upcoming film 'Spirit' is raising audience expectations to new heights. Amidst this, news related to the movie has gone viral online. First a Police Officer.. Then! It has been widely publicized that in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming 'Spirit', Prabhas will appear as a powerful police officer. However, rumors are circulating that besides this role, Prabhas will also play another key role. According to the latest buzz, after several dramatic twists, the character portrayed by Prabhas transforms from a policeman into a gangster. Moreover, the film is said to contain major wild elements and will feature even more intense violence and fight sequences than 'Animal'. The latest updates have further fueled the high expectations for 'Spirit'. In the Style of 'Golimaar'.. The 2010 film 'Golimaar', directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring Gopichand, received positive acclaim and was based on the life of encounter specialist Daya Nayak. Gopichand’s portrayal as a hard-working police officer who becomes renowned as an encounter specialist won him considerable recognition. Due to an unexpected turn of events, he transforms into a gangster. Observing the latest buzz around 'Spirit', it seems to remind us of 'Golimaar'. However, given the global standards of visuals and action sequences in 'Spirit', it's best not to compare it directly with 'Golimaar'. Two Star Heroes... It is rumored that two star heroes will feature in 'Spirit'. Vijay Deverakonda and Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor are reportedly set to make special cameo appearances. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who launched Vijay Deverakonda as a hero in his first film 'Arjun Reddy' and recently worked with Ranbir Kapoor in 'Animal', shares a good rapport with both actors. The chances of them turning down an offer from 'Spirit', especially given its international scale and Prabhas as the lead, are slim. Moreover, there is talk of casting a star hero in a villain role in 'Spirit'. Prabhas as Villain Again? Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who has recently been known for his villainous roles, such as playing Ravana in 'Adipurush' and an antagonist in 'Devara' opposite Tarak, is rumored to appear in a negative role in 'Spirit' as well. Speculations are rife that Saif will confront Prabhas in a powerful antagonistic role. If true, this would significantly elevate expectations for 'Spirit'. With a Massive Budget... 'Spirit' is being produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and is rumored to be made on a lavish budget. Speculations suggest that the movie's budget has been set at a staggering ₹1000 crores, initially rumored to be ₹500 crores before being reported to have increased to ₹750 crores. If true, 'Spirit' would mark the biggest-budget film in Prabhas’s career, with ₹600 crores allocated just for remuneration, including ₹300 crores for Prabhas alone, according to film industry sources.

      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      Keerthy Suresh is one of those actresses who prioritizes acting over beauty. Belonging to the Tamil industry, she has also gained significant popularity in Telugu films. Her role as Savitri in the movie 'Mahanati' was phenomenal, earning her a National Award. However, her film career has seen many interesting twists and turns. Today (October 17), on the occasion of Keerthy Suresh's birthday, let's look into some special aspects of her life. As a Child Artist The daughter of actors Suresh Kumar and Menaka, Keerthy Suresh sparkled as a child artist in the Malayalam film 'Pilots'. She also appeared as a child artist in the films 'Achaneyanenikkishtam' and 'Kuberan'. Mother as Chiru’s Heroine.. Daughter as Sister In Chiranjeevi's film 'Punnami Naagu', Keerthy's mother Menaka acted as the heroine. Recently, in the movie 'Bhola Shankar', Keerthy played the significant role of Chiranjeevi's sister. Despite the film not doing well, their performances as siblings were well-received. During the shoot in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi mentioned during movie promotions that he ensured home-cooked meals were sent to Keerthy throughout the filming. Stalled Projects at the Beginning Keerthy Suresh began her career as a heroine with the film 'Geethanjali', starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. However, even before this, she had signed three projects as a heroine, which had also started shooting. Unexpectedly, these three projects were halted midway, leading to great disappointment for her, as she mentioned in an interview. Tagged as Iron Leg Early in her career, the halting of three projects, and the failure of films like 'Geethanjali' and 'Ring Master' in Malayalam, and her first Tamil film 'Idhu Enna Maayam' being a disaster, Keerthy was tagged as an 'Iron Leg'. She faced significant trolling but ignored it and went on to succeed in films, establishing herself as a successful heroine. Turning Point with Mahanati Her first Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' was a success, which increased her opportunities in Tollywood and Kollywood. Despite being in commercial films, she felt unfulfilled as an actress until 'Mahanati' came along. Her portrayal of Savitri was critically acclaimed, earning her the National Award for Best Actress and becoming an inspiration to other actresses. Her career graph significantly rose after 'Mahanati'. Series of Failures Post-'Mahanati', it was believed that Keerthy's career would have no downturns, and she did receive a series of offers. However, subsequent films like 'Saamy Square', 'Pandem kodi 2', 'Rang De', and 'Annaatthe' failed to meet audience expectations. Her women-oriented films 'Penguin', 'Miss India', and 'Good Luck Sakhi' also failed to make an impact. Director's Intent to Cast Keerthy Following last year's release 'Dasara', which was a massive success, Keerthy made a strong comeback. Directed by Srikanth Odela with Nani as the hero, the film grossed over 100 crores and received widespread praise for Keerthy's performance. She excelled in the role of Vennela, a rural woman, and received awards like SIIMA and Filmfare for Best Actress. However, it was revealed during movie promotions that director Srikanth Odela initially planned to cast Keerthy as the heroine for 'Dasara' after narrating the movie story and suggested she gain 10-12 kilograms, which she couldn't. Nani mentioned that Odela decided to cast her despite her not being able to gain weight, highlighting that even though he was a debut director and she was a National Award-winning actress, they ended up becoming good friends on the movie sets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-PhzFEt9Wk Keerthy’s Special Talent Not just her face, Keerthy Suresh's voice is also beautiful. Directors have capitalized on her melodious voice, having her sing beautifully the song 'Pudhu Metro Rail' in 'Saamy Square'. She also recently lent her voice to the character of Bujji Vehicle in 'Kalki 2898 AD' and proved her dancing skills with the 'Gandhaari' album. This Year into Bollywood Having already entertained this year with 'Siren' and 'Raghu Thatha', Keerthy is busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta', 'Kannivedi', and 'Uppu Kappurambu'. She is set to enter Bollywood with 'Baby John'. In an instance, she mentioned that the roles of Savitri (Mahanati), Vennela (Dasara), and Kalavathi (Sarkaru Vaari Paata) were challenging in her career.

Performances Raj Tarun delivers a commendable performance in dual dimensions as Rachit Ram, convincingly playing both a billionaire and an unidentifiable common man. Hasini Sudheer, as the village girl Ammu, shines beautifully on screen, and the love scenes between Raj Tarun and Ammu are pleasing. Praveen provides comic relief in the friend’s role, while other comedians like Satya and Brahmanandam shine throughout the film. Direction We've seen many films where a wealthy young man lives as a common man for various reasons. Director Ram Bhimana has crafted 'Purushothamudu' in a similar vein. The real story begins when the wealthy hero reaches the village of Rayapulanka. The introductions and romantic scenes with the heroine are engaging. The first half is entertaining with village backdrop comedy, and the hero's stance against injustices in the village makes for an appealing interval bang. However, the narrative seems to lose track in the second half, meandering predictably and boringly without any significant twists. The climax, although predictable, is somewhat saved by Prakash Raj's entry and his impactful dialogues. Director Ram Bhimana fails to bring any novelty to the story or narration. Technically Musically, Gopi Sundar’s contributions are just passable, with none of the songs being particularly memorable. The background score is decent. PG Vinda’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of village life beautifully. The editing is adequate, and the production values are suitably high for the film. Plus Points - Raj Tarun’s acting - Some scenes in the first half - Chemistry between the hero and heroine Minus Points - Routine story - Predictable narrative - Lack of twists Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5
