Sangeetha Krish is one of the former star heroines of Tollywood. She has captivated audiences in many films with her beauty, acting, and dance skills. She became popular as a heroine in several superhit films. Currently, she has started her second innings as a character artist and is attracting attention. Today is Sangeetha's birthday, stepping into her 46th year. Let’s delve into some interesting aspects of her life.



Producer’s Family



Born in Chennai on October 21, 1978, her real name is Rasika, which she changed to Sangeetha after entering films. Her grandfather, K.R. Balan, was a prominent producer in the Tamil industry, having produced over 20 films. Her father, Shantharam, also produced several films in Tamil. Sangeetha has been passionate about dance since her childhood, which led her to learn Bharatanatyam during her school days. She made her entry into the film industry with the Malayalam political action thriller 'Gangothri' (1997). Her first Telugu film was 'Circus Sattipandu'.







Recognition through Films



Though she acted in 'Circus Sattipandu' in 1997, she did not get many opportunities in Telugu at that time and shifted her focus to Tamil and Malayalam films. After a gap of two years, she returned to Telugu cinema with the movie 'Asala Sandadi' (1999). Subsequently, she acted in superhit films like 'Khadgam', 'Pellam Oorelithe', 'Khushi Khushiga', 'Sankranthi', and 'Siva Puthrudu', and gained recognition as a leading heroine.







Love Marriage with a Singer



While at the peak of her career, actress Sangeetha got married. She had a love marriage with Tamil star singer Krish. She first saw Krish at an award function and was instantly smitten by his looks as she went on stage to receive an award from him. She connected even more with his attractive speech. Coincidentally, they both ended up at the same dinner with friends that night, where Sangeetha openly expressed her admiration for him. They exchanged numbers, got engaged within three months, and married eight months later. The following year, they attended the award function as a couple.

Second Innings Glory



Despite acting in several hit Telugu films, Sangeetha couldn’t sustain a long-term presence in the industry. It took her 10 years after the 2010 movie 'Cara Majaaka' to act in another Telugu film. She made a comeback in the Telugu industry with Mahesh's 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. Previously known as a heroine and lead actress, she started her second innings as a character artist. She has acted in films like 'Acharya' (special song), 'Masooda', and 'Vaarasudu' and captured everyone’s attention. Particularly for 'Masood', she even received a SIIMA Award for Best Supporting Actress.







Also a TV Host



In her second innings, Sangeetha is also thriving as a television host. She has served as a judge on Tamil dance shows like Jodi No.1, Dance Jodi Dance, and Super Jodi (Telugu), where she encouraged new dancers and gave appropriate advice. She also participates in festive special shows aired on ETV, captivating the television audience.

Liplock Scenes In Telugu Movies: Tollywood Heroines Hot Liplock Scenes


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!


Vijay Deverakonda&nbsp; is one of Tollywood's most popular young actors who became an overnight star with the film 'Arjun Reddy.' With successes like 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindham', he secured a solid position in the Telugu film industry. However, Vijay has been facing a rough patch recently, as his last three films, 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star', did not perform well at the box office. This makes his upcoming project, 'VD12', highly anticipated not only by Vijay but also by his fans. Producer Naga Vamshi recently made some interesting remarks about this film, turning it into a hot topic in the industry.



In Two Parts...



Vijay Deverakonda&nbsp; is currently working on a film directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, tentatively titled 'VD 12'. Producer Naga Vamshi has spoken about the film, revealing that it will be presented in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with the Vijay Deverakonda&nbsp; film. We have content sufficient for two parts, and depending on the outcome of the first, we will proceed with the second. Gowtam Tinnanuri has beautifully crafted the story. We are confident it will be a blockbuster," said Naga Vamshi. Interestingly, this is the first time any of Vijay's films are planned as a two-part series, as all his previous films were single installments. If everything goes as planned, fans might get to see sequels in Vijay's career. With 'VD 12' already under high expectations, Naga Vamshi's comments have only heightened the excitement.







The Captivating First Look!



The makers of 'VD12' recently released the first look poster of the film. In it, Vijay appears in a massive look. The caption intriguingly states, "Fate has called... a bloodbath awaits... a new king will rise." Moreover, the makers have announced that the film is scheduled for release on March 28 next year. They are putting significant effort into delivering a theatrical experience and have requested that leaked content not be shared.







In a Dual Role...!



The film unit has announced that Vijay Deverakonda&nbsp; will appear as a powerful police officer in 'VD 12'. A previously released poster in a vague khaki outfit hinted at this role. However, the recently released first look shows Vijay in a local gangster persona, raising questions about whether he might be playing dual roles or if the director is presenting one character in two dimensions. Regardless, Vijay's look promises a mass festivity in theaters.







Vijay's Future Projects!



Aside from 'VD12', Vijay Deverakonda&nbsp; has two more exciting projects lined up. After 'Family Star', producer Dil Raju is set to produce another film with Vijay, directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, director Rahul Sankrityan will helm another project with Vijay set against a periodic genre backdrop in the Rayalaseema region, potentially starring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.

Vijay Deverakonda: A Unique Achievement That No Other Telugu Hero Has Done... What’s the Buzz?


Tollywood star heroine Samantha is soon to be seen in the upcoming spy action series "Citadel: Honey Bunny." In this series, while Varun Dhawan plays a leading role, Samantha is acting in another key role. The series, directed by Raj and DK who have delivered successful series like "The Family Man" and "Farzi," is the official remake of the Hollywood blockbuster "Citadel" which starred Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. Currently, the actors involved in this series are busy with promotions.



The makers have officially announced that this web series will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 7. The recently released trailer of "Citadel: Honey Bunny" thrilled the audience with its action-packed content, especially the action scenes performed by Samantha.







The first trailer had already set high expectations for the series, and now the second trailer has also received super hit talk. Samantha's action sequences in the trailer have particularly captivated the audience, with some fans even praising her performance as being better than Priyanka Chopra's version in the original.







In this series, fans are excited about Samantha as "Honey" and Varun Dhawan as "Bunny," noting Samantha's refreshing appearance and gripping action. Compared to her previous action roles, Samantha appears stronger and more powerful in this series.







However, recent discussions among netizens are focused on Samantha's appearance in the trailer. They are commenting on the changes in her face, comparing her current looks with those of actress Samyuktha Menon. Some photos shared on social media show noticeable differences in her eyes compared to the past.







Some people argue that Samantha has undergone plastic surgery to enhance her beauty, especially after battling the disease myositis, which caused significant changes to her face. Others suggest that the powerful medications she used to treat myositis have had side effects that altered her facial appearance.



It is well known that Samantha struggled with myositis, a rare disease, for over a year, which also led her into severe depression. During her recovery, she traveled domestically and internationally with friends to find some relief from her pain. Observing the physical changes caused by myositis, Samantha decided to focus entirely on her health and stayed away from films for a year. She made a comeback with the film "Kushi" alongside Vijay Deverakonda and also starred in "Shaakuntalam." However, as both films did not perform well at the box office, Samantha is now pinning her hopes on the success of the "Citadel" series.






Citadel Star Samantha's Changed Appearance: Plastic Surgery or Myositis Treatment Effects?


Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the leading actresses in Tollywood. Despite taking a break from films due to health issues, Samantha remains constantly in the news. Her latest web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' is set to stream on OTT platforms from November 7. A trailer related to this series was recently released, in which Samantha dazzled everyone with her performance. She matched the action sequences with heroes in a way that captivated all viewers, bringing her name once again into the trending spotlight. It is reported that Samantha has received a significant remuneration for this series.



How much was the remuneration?



Samantha and Varun Dhawan played the lead roles in the web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Samantha portrayed the character of Honey while Varun Dhawan played Bunny. This is the first time Samantha will appear in a spy role in her career. She molded herself significantly for this and even took special training for the action sequences. It is reported that she received a huge remuneration for the Citadel web series, around Rs. 10 crores, according to Bollywood circles. For comparison, it was rumored that she received Rs. 5 crores for the film 'Kushi' with Vijay Devarakonda. This suggests that her payment for the series was double. Currently, Samantha's remuneration is considered higher compared to many actors and actresses in Telugu cinema.

The series with Samantha's craze at its peak!



Samantha previously starred in the web series 'Family Man 2,' which streamed in 2021 and was directed by Raj and DK. In this series, she received widespread acclaim for her performance, especially in action sequences, which was a first in her career. Her portrayal of negative shades was particularly well received by the Bollywood audience. Interestingly, the directors of 'Family Man 2' are also directing 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' According to the trailer, the character of Honey seems to feature even more action than the character of Raji in the previous series. The series is set to stream on Amazon Prime on November 7 and will be available in over 240 countries.







I am still a bad actress: Samantha



In a recent interview, Samantha reflected on her journey. She recalled her first film audition during 'Ye Maaya Chesave' and noted how different it was from her audition for 'Citadel.' In this web series, she had to act badly on purpose, and she performed well because she considers herself still partly a bad actress. "If I say I did my best, it doesn't mean the credit is all mine. The best in us only comes out when we are in the hands of the right team," Samantha explained.







The highlight of the series!



During the trailer launch of 'Citadel,' Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan made some interesting remarks. He mentioned that the climax of the series is on another level. "Samantha and I worked tirelessly for an action scene that lasts 11 minutes. We shot it in a single take without cuts. This scene will appear in the climax and will definitely add to the suspense," said Varun. This has greatly heightened the expectations among fans. Discussions are already underway about the impact 'Citadel' will make in India.

<strong>Telugu Dumb Charades(Damsharas): Top 100 Movie Titles, Songs, Dialogues</strong>


Bhumika Chawla was once a star heroine in Tollywood, acting alongside leading heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Junior NTR, Ravi Teja, and Venkatesh. Her films such as 'Okkadu', 'Khushi', and 'Simhadri' were major hits in the industry. However, she recently shared a grievous insult she faced early in her Hindi film career. She revealed that she was abruptly removed from a project that she had high hopes for. Her comments about this incident have gone viral online. Now, let’s look at the details.



Waited a Year.. Still Replaced!



Bhumika Chawla's transformation into a film heroine began with the 2000 film 'Yuvakudu' starring Sumanth. She then gained recognition in Telugu as a star heroine through films like 'Khushi', 'Vasu', 'Okkadu', 'Missamma', and 'Simhadri'. After 'Simhadri', her first Hindi film 'Tere Naam' also turned out to be a success, leading to continuous offers in Bollywood, including 'Munna Bhai MBBS' and 'Jab We Met'. Bhumika revealed that she was initially selected as the heroine for 'Jab We Met'. She waited almost a year for this movie and did not accept other films to avoid date issues. However, she mentioned that initially, Bobby Deol was considered as the hero for 'Jab We Met', but later they brought in Shahid Kapoor instead. Subsequently, they also replaced her with Kareena Kapoor as the final choice. This deeply upset her, and she remarked that her career could have been different had she done the film.

Those Movies Gave Me Joy: Bhumika



It appears that Bhumika Chawla also faced injustice with the Hindi film 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. Initially, she was considered for the heroine role opposite Sanjay Dutt. Due to unavoidable reasons, she was replaced by Vidya Balan. This film became a blockbuster hit in Hindi and was remade in Telugu as 'Shankar Dada MBBS' by Megastar, which was also a grand success. Despite losing these two opportunities, Bhumika recalled the success of her Telugu films 'Khushi', 'Okkadu', and 'Simhadri', which recently re-released and achieved good collections, bringing her joy.







Was She Replaced Just for a Girlfriend?



There are discussions in Bollywood circles suggesting a strong reason behind Bhumika’s removal from 'Jab We Met'. During the time of this movie, there were widespread reports of Shahid Kapoor being in a relationship with Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor. In this context, it is alleged that Shahid Kapoor provided his girlfriend with the opportunity by replacing Bhumika. However, Kareena later separated from Shahid and eventually married Saif Ali Khan. Some people believe that the directors and producers might have thought Kareena would be a better fit alongside Shahid Kapoor, which is why they made the switch at the last moment. Despite acting in several Hindi films thereafter, Bhumika did not achieve significant success.







21 Years Later..



Currently, Bhumika has begun her second innings in Telugu cinema, captivating audiences with key supporting roles in films like 'MCA (Middle Class Abbayi)', 'Savyasachi', 'Ruler', 'Paagal', 'Seetimaarr', 'Sita Ramam', and 'Butterfly'. She is also playing a pivotal role in the upcoming film 'Euphoria', directed by Gunasekhar. Notably, this is the first film she is doing with Gunasekhar after the blockbuster 'Okkadu', 21 years ago. She expressed her happiness about working with Gunasekhar again on her Instagram account, writing about the start of a new journey.

Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year


Cast: Ashok Galla, Manasa Varanasi, Devadatta Nage, and othersDirector: Arjun JandyalaStory: Prasanth VarmaDialogues: Burra Sai MadhavCinematography: Prasad Murella, RasoolEditing: ThimmarajuRelease Date: November 22, 2024



Ashok Galla, the son of prominent businessman Galla Jayadev and nephew of Mahesh Babu, stars in his latest film, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. Prasanth Varma, known for Hanuman, penned the story, while Arjun Jandyala directed the movie. The team promised a blend of spirituality, commercial appeal, and thrilling elements. Released on November 22, did the movie captivate the audience? Did Prasanth Varma's trademark shine through? Let’s delve into the details.







The Plot



Kamsaraju (Devadatta Nage) is a tyrant. During a visit to Kashi, he encounters an Aghora who predicts that his death will come at the hands of his sister’s third child. Terrified, Kamsaraju attacks his pregnant sister (Devayani), leading to the death of her husband. He is sentenced to 21 years in prison. Meanwhile, his sister gives birth to a girl, Sathya (Manasa Varanasi). As she grows up, Krishna (Ashok Galla) falls in love with her. Upon Kamsaraju’s release from jail, what happens to Sathya? What secret has Kamsaraju’s sister been hiding from him? How does Krishna protect his love? The answers lie in the movie.



The Performances



Ashok Galla clearly worked hard for his role as Krishna, and his efforts are evident on screen. Compared to his previous film, Ashok has improved in both acting and body language. His performance in key emotional scenes is commendable. Manasa Varanasi impresses as the heroine, and her chemistry with Ashok works well. However, she falters in conveying deeper emotions in certain scenes. Devadatta Nage delivers a solid performance as the antagonist, while Devayani does justice to her role as Kamsaraju’s sister. Jhansi shines as the hero’s mother, while supporting actors like Sanjay Swaroop, Shatru, Sridhar Reddy, and Getup Srinu play their parts adequately.







The Direction



Despite a premise with potential, Prasanth Varma’s story lacks depth. While mythology is woven into the narrative, it feels disjointed and fails to sync with the storyline. Director Arjun Jandyala missed the opportunity to create magic in the screenplay, which falls flat and lacks intrigue. Certain scenes promote superstitions rather than adding value to the narrative. The love track between the lead pair feels underwhelming, and the action sequences between Krishna and Kamsaraju fail to make an impact. Some scenes intended to elevate Krishna’s character come across as overly dramatic. Overall, the direction leaves the audience bored at several points.



Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Bhims Ceciroleo’s music is a major asset. His background score elevates the action sequences significantly. Prasad Murella’s cinematography is impressive, capturing the essence of the scenes well. Editor Thimmaraju’s work is satisfactory. The production values are high, and there’s no compromise in terms of budget, making the film visually appealing.

Music by: Santhosh Narayanan



Editing by: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao



Producers: Ashwini Dutt, Priyanka Dutt, Swapna Dutt



Production Company: Vyjayanthi Movies Makers



Release Date: June 27, 2024



The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, generated worldwide excitement. This high-budget science fiction action movie, also featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, became known as India's most expensive production. With its Hollywood-level trailer and teaser, anticipation skyrocketed following the initial poster release. The movie premiered on June 27. Did 'Kalki 2898 AD' meet the high expectations and give another blockbuster to Prabhas's career?







What's the story?



The plot of 'Kalki 2898 AD' unfolds from a deceit by Dharmaraja in the Mahabharata. Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), cursed by Krishna during the battle of Kurukshetra, eagerly anticipates the arrival of Kalki. Upon discovering that Kalki will be born to a woman named Sumati (Deepika Padukone), he takes on the role of her protector. Meanwhile, Bhairava (Prabhas) in Kashi seeks to enter a sacred complex that requires one million units for entry. Realizing that capturing Sumati could earn him the necessary funds, Bhairava sets out on his quest. Will he confront Ashwatthama and succeed in capturing Sumati? Who is Supreme Yashkin (Kamal Haasan) play, and why is he interested in Sumati? How are the Kali Yuga's conclusion and the Kurukshetra's battle connected? Why are the residents of Kashi and Shambhala facing hardships? What roles do Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan play? One must watch the movie 'Kalki' to find the answers to these questions.







How did they perform?



Pan-India star Prabhas once again asserted his commanding presence in this film, particularly shining in the role of Bhairava. His dynamic action sequences left a lasting impression. While his role was limited in the first half, he delivered a fully engaging performance in the second half. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, portraying Ashwatthama, gave an unparalleled performance, with his efforts evident on screen. Kamal Haasan, playing the villain, offered a performance that surpassed expectations. Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani captivated audiences with their roles. The cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Rajamouli, Rana, and RGV were delightful. All other actors fulfilled their roles with great conviction.







How's the direction?



Director Nag Ashwin is poised to make a global impact with 'Kalki'. The film's greatest strength lies in the story, which was crafted by Nag Ashwin himself. His direction, vision, and presentation all earn high praise. Although the first 40 minutes may appear slow, Ashwin ensures that the pace never falters. After this initial segment, the narrative picks up speed and maintains its intensity all the way to the climax. The scene just before the interval, in particular, is sure to give the audience goosebumps. The futuristic vehicles, weaponry, and sets are visually spectacular. Nonetheless, the screenplay has minor flaws, and some scenes seem overly prolonged. The absence of elements that typically thrill the broader audience represents a slight drawback. Improved dubbing for Deepika could have further enhanced the viewing experience. Overall, Nag Ashwin has achieved significant success as a director.







Technically



On the technical front, all departments exhibited exceptional skill. The graphics department especially deserves high praise. The cinematographer’s work is outstanding. Santhosh Narayanan’s music is a significant plus for the film, particularly elevating the action sequences. The editor could have sharpened his cuts a bit more. The production values are very high, with no compromises on the budget. Every scene is richly produced.

Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga Starring Prabhas and an Ensemble Cast


The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, has generated global buzz, with predictions of becoming a super hit. It has impressed audiences worldwide with its Hollywood-level visuals and the actors' remarkable transformations. Achieving this success required significant effort from the Kalki team. As the film continues to draw special attention, let's delve into some secrets behind 'Kalki 2898 AD'.



40 years later



It is well known that Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan played major roles in 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Amitabh portrayed Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan as the antagonist Supreme Yashkin. Remarkably, this film marks nearly 40 years since they last acted together, their previous collaboration being the 1985 film 'Geraftaar'. After 4 decades, they have reunited for 'Kalki'.







Kamal’s New Getup



Kamal Haasan's appearance in 'Kalki 2898 AD' is quite unique and distinct. Numerous looks were considered in the process of finalizing his appearance, none of which initially satisfied director Nag Ashwin. Eventually, the Kalki team consulted Hollywood makeup experts in Los Angeles, leading to the final look that Kamal Haasan sports in the film.







5 hours for Makeup



Ashwatthama's look in the movie has also greatly impressed the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, at 81, has brilliantly embodied this character. The makeup for Ashwatthama took about three hours to apply and an additional two hours to remove, totaling five hours dedicated solely to makeup, according to the film unit.







₹4 crores for Bujji



The futuristic vehicle 'Bujji', ridden by Prabhas in 'Kalki', was a significant endeavor by the film unit. It was developed with the cooperation of the Mahindra Research Valley team and Jayam Auto Engineering in Coimbatore. Reportedly, around ₹4 crores were spent just on this car.







700 VFX Shots



Director Nag Ashwin created three futuristic worlds in 'Kalki': Kashi, Shambala, and a complex. Kashi is depicted as lifeless, Shambala as a refugee zone, and the complex as resource-rich. To showcase these, the film extensively used VFX, employing around 700 VFX shots.







Hollywood VFX



'Kalki 2898 AD' is being talked about as a visual wonder, thanks to the involvement of Hollywood-level VFX companies. The VFX team that has worked on major Hollywood films like Harry Potter, Interstellar, Dune, and Blade Runner worked on 'Kalki'.







Record-breaking Budget



'Kalki 2898 AD' stands as the film with the highest budget in Indian cinema history, with production costs reportedly exceeding ₹600 crores. According to trade sources, a significant portion of this budget was spent not just on actor salaries and sets, but predominantly on high-quality visuals and advanced VFX.

Balakrishna as Lord Krishna!



The director Prasanth Varma plans to craft Mokshagna’s film as a mythological and socio-fantasy movie. The story, inspired by the Mahabharata, has already been finalized. There has been ongoing speculation that Balakrishna will also play a significant role from the beginning. According to the latest buzz, Balakrishna will appear as Lord Krishna. Similar to 'Hanuman', this film will blend superhero and mythological elements, with Balakrishna's entry as Krishna expected to turn the story at a crucial point. There is also speculation about Balakrishna appearing as Arjuna. Clarity from Prasanth Varma’s team is awaited on this matter.







Is the Heroine Fixed?



It’s anticipated that the film starring Mokshagna Teja and directed by Prasanth Varma will hit theaters in 2026. Balakrishna’s daughter Tejaswini is rumored to be producing this film, a detail recently revealed by Balakrishna himself. There's also speculation that Sridevi’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor will be the heroine. An official announcement from the makers is expected soon. If confirmed, the pairing of Mokshagna and Khushi Kapoor is set to become a trendsetter, according to Nandamuri fans.
