      Double Ismart: Trouble Brewing for 'Double Ismart' Amid 'Liger' flop?
      Double Ismart: Trouble Brewing for 'Double Ismart' Amid 'Liger' flop?
      Energetic star Ram Pothineni and dashing director Puri Jagannadh are collaborating once again on their second film, 'Double Ismart,' which is a sequel to the blockbuster 'Ismart Shankar.' The global release is scheduled for August 15, as announced by the filmmakers. This film has become especially crucial for both Puri and Ram, given their recent difficulties in achieving a hit. Recently released promotional materials have significantly raised expectations. However, 'Double Ismart' is now encountering unexpected challenges due to the financial difficulties stemming from Puri's previous film, 'Liger,' which are now affecting Ram's project. What Happened? Losses from 'Liger' have become a significant headache for 'Double Ismart.' The film 'Liger,' a high-budget venture by Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannadh, ended up a disaster, incurring substantial losses for producers, exhibitors, and distributors. There's rising discontent among distributors about Puri moving on to release another film without settling 'Liger's' debts. It's rumored that until 'Liger’s' losses are settled, distributors have decided not to screen 'Double Ismart.' A significant meeting among distributors was held at a major distributor's office to discuss compensation for 'Liger’s' losses, fueling concerns about potential delays for 'Double Ismart.' Controversy Over a Song! Recently, the film team released the second lyrical song from 'Double Ismart' titled 'Maar Muntha Chod Chintha' on YouTube. However, the inclusion of a voice clip of KCR, the former Chief Minister of Telangana, in the song has sparked controversy. The use of his voice, especially the viral phrase "Em Jeddamantav Mari," directly in the song has angered KCR's supporters and Telangana activists. They criticized the song for portraying Telangana culture negatively and warned that they would block the film's release if the dialogue was not removed. The film team needs to respond to these allegations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kba0qmTtZE Three Films Competing In addition to 'Double Ismart,' set for release on August 15, the makers had initially chosen this date anticipating no major competition due to a delay in 'Pushpa 2,' which was moved to December 6. However, this satisfaction was short-lived as Ravi Teja's 'Mr. Bachchan' and Kollywood star Vikram's 'Thangalaan' are also scheduled for release on the same day. Along with these, another movie 'Ai' is also entering the fray, setting up a box office clash for 'Double Ismart.'

      Does 'Double iSmart' Deliver? A Deep Dive into Ram Pothineni's Latest Outing
      Does 'Double iSmart' Deliver? A Deep Dive into Ram Pothineni's Latest Outing
      Energetic Star Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar starred in 'Double iSmart', which was released globally amidst high expectations. Following the flop of 'Liger' by Puri Jagannadh and the failure of 'Skanda' by Ram Pothineni, this film has generated significant buzz among audiences and the industry alike. Did the film live up to expectations? Did the Ram-Puri combo hit the mark again? Let’s delve into this review. What’s the Story? Mafia boss Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt) wants to live forever. In this quest, doctors suggest the possibility of memory transfer. Attempts to transfer Big Bull’s memory to various individuals fail. During these attempts, Big Bull learns about iSmart Shankar. They decide to transfer Big Bull’s memory to Shankar. Was the memory successfully transferred to Shankar’s brain? What does iSmart Shankar do next? Why do Big Bull and iSmart Shankar clash again? What is the relationship between Kavya Thapar and Shankar? What significance does Boka's (Ali) character have in the film? How's the Movie? The first half of the movie includes love and comedy tracks, laden with Telangana slang and mass festivities. Puri Jagannadh’s trademark punch dialogues and his style of comedy scenes are captivating. From the interval action sequence onwards, twists upon twists are revealed. Scenes featuring Ram and Sanjay Dutt are particularly striking. The climax twist takes the movie to the next level. Dialogues are a special attraction, with Ram's Telangana slang proverbs hitting the mark. Romantic scenes between Ram and Kavya Thapar, as well as the mind games between Ram and Sanjay Dutt, and the mother sentiment, are all interesting. Ram’s energetic performance is engaging. Ali’s comedy scenes are well-done. How Did They Perform? Ram Pothineni excels as iSmart Shankar. His acting in this film is triple times more mass-oriented than in the previous iSmart Shankar movie. It's evident from this film that he has put in an extraordinary effort. Sanjay Dutt as Big Bull delivers a superb performance, doing complete justice to his role. Kavya Thapar, as the heroine Jannat, fits perfectly into her role. Shaaji Shinde as a CBI officer, Bunny Jayashankar, Ram's mother played by Jhansi, Boka played by Ali, and Ram’s friend played by Getup Srinu all perform commendably within the scope of their roles. How's the Direction? After the flop of Liger, it is evident that Puri Jagannadh has written this film with great care. This film marks a comeback for Puri, who has effectively brought his envisioned story to life. The screenplay is also good. Puri Jagannadh has filled the film with elements that attract the youth. The scenes from the pre-climax to the climax elevate the movie to another level. Once again, Puri introduces the old charm with his trademark punch dialogues. The mother sentiment is good but could have been elevated further. Overall, Puri succeeded in making a film that appeals to the youth. Technically On a technical level, the film is of high quality. Every frame appears rich. Mani Sharma’s music is satisfactory. Cinematography by Gian K. Gian and Shyam K. Naidu is commendable. Overall, this film can be termed a mass feast. Plus Points - Ram Pothineni’s acting - Puri’s direction - Scenes between Sanjay Dutt and Ram Minus Points - Lengthy comedy track by Ali - Some of the songs Verdict: Overall, Double iSmart Shankar is a youthful entertainer packed with mass elements. Rating: 3/5

      VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
      VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
      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. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) 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.

      Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines
      Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines
      In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out. Sekhar Kammula When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once. Hanu Raghavapudi Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest. Vivek Athreya Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles. Shouryuv Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects. Tharun Bhascker Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.

      When Titans Talk: Vijayendra Prasad’s Candid Call to Puri Jagannadh
      When Titans Talk: Vijayendra Prasad’s Candid Call to Puri Jagannadh
      Puri Jagannadh is one of the star directors in Tollywood. There was a time when a movie from Puri meant theaters were bustling with mass audiences and his signature dialogues would electrify the youth. However, the frenzy for Puri's films has waned recently. Blockbusters like 'Pokiri', 'Businessman', and 'Temper' have not been forthcoming. His latest film 'Liger' was a significant failure, drawing widespread criticism. Fans are longing for the return of the old Puri. In this context, it's reported that Vijayendra Prasad, a prominent writer and father of Rajamouli, has scolded Puri. Director Puri himself shared this incident. "Tell me before you make a movie" In the upcoming movie directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring Ram Pothineni, titled 'Double iSmart', an exciting event occurred during the pre-release event held in Hanamkonda on Sunday, August 11. The film is set to meet audiences on August 15. At the event, Puri shared an intriguing detail, "When a movie is a hit, many call to congratulate. I also received a call for a flop movie. It wasn’t just anybody; it was Vijayendra Prasad. He asked if he could help me. His son Rajamouli is a top director, so I wondered how I could possibly help. He then asked, 'When is your next film? Will you tell me the story whenever you make it?' I understood why he was saying this. He couldn’t bear to see directors like me fail. You all make small mistakes. So, tell me before you make a film," he said. Puri was moved by his words and said he could never forget that call made out of affection for him. However, he did not share the story with him. "I wanted to be cautious and only show him the movie," Puri said. https://twitter.com/i/status/1822878179679203353 The story must be told! Director Vijayendra Prasad, father of S.S. Rajamouli, has a profound admiration for director Puri Jagannadh. He has expressed his preference for Puri among directors in a past interview and even showcased using Puri’s photo as his mobile wallpaper. Despite this esteem, Puri recently revealed that he declined to narrate a story to Vijayendra Prasad, which has sparked intense reactions online. Netizens are questioning why Puri would not engage with the writer who provided stories for blockbuster films like 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. They argue that Vijayendra Prasad could have identified errors in the 'Double iSmart' script, suggesting it would have been prudent for Puri to have shared the story with him to avoid risk. We need some clarity! During the 'Double iSmart' pre-release event, hero Ram Pothineni made some compelling remarks for those who stop going to theaters after seeing negative reviews. "Many of us don't respect our own opinions. If we like the biryani at a restaurant, we shouldn't doubt our taste just because others didn't like it. I enjoyed it, so I think it's good. The same goes for movies and your career. Don’t change your opinion because of others. If we always compare ourselves to others' opinions, we can’t accomplish anything. I'm telling all this because you are my people," Ram said. These energetic star's comments have been widely endorsed by the majority of netizens. https://twitter.com/i/status/1822887370594877712

      Double Ismart: Cold War with Ram? Is that why Puri didn't attend the trailer launch?
      Double Ismart: Cold War with Ram? Is that why Puri didn't attend the trailer launch?
      Starring Ram Pothineni and directed by Puri Jagannadh, the upcoming film 'Double Ismart' is scheduled for a grand release on August 15. However, since the release date was announced, the movie team has encountered several issues. The entry of Ravi Teja’s 'Mr. Bachchan' into the August lineup and demands from 'Liger' distributors to settle their losses have posed significant challenges for the team. Additionally, recent rumors suggest there is discord between the hero, Ram, and director Puri. Let's delve into the reasons behind this alleged cold war. Ram's Dissatisfaction! After the success of 'Ismart Shankar' at the box office, a sequel titled 'Double Ismart' was developed by the Ram-Puri combo. Although the movie is set to release on August 15, recent developments have reportedly left hero Ram dissatisfied. The 'Liger' controversy and distribution issues in Nizam, along with producer Charmee not starting promotions, have frustrated Ram. It’s speculated that these conflicts led to Puri's absence from the trailer launch event on Sunday. The event, where Ram had to promote the movie solo, has become a hot topic in Tollywood. Puri's Explanation! Director Puri released a video statement regarding his absence at the 'Double Ismart' trailer release event. He explained that he was in Mumbai for the final mixing required for the censor board and couldn’t attend the event. He expressed his regret about missing the event, but netizens are skeptical about these claims. The absence of a director at such a crucial trailer launch, supposedly due to a rift with Ram, is being questioned by many. If 'Double Ismart' turns out to be a super hit, it might automatically bridge the gap between them, suggest some netizens. Despite widespread speculation on social media about their disagreements, the film unit has not clarified the situation. https://twitter.com/i/status/1820365775439552575 How was the trailer? The trailer of 'Double Ismart', released on Sunday, was exactly as expected, filled with mass action and raw dialogues. Ram dazzled with his trademark energetic action, mass dialogues, and dance moves. Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt plays the villain 'Big Bull', whose brain memory is transferred into Shankar's (Ram Pothineni) brain, a key element highlighted in the trailer. Director Puri Jagannadh has taken the chip concept from Ismart Shankar to a new level with a brain memory transfer in Double Ismart, raising expectations for the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym0upoayqJg Mr. Bachchan's Aggressive Promotions! Compared to the 'Double Ismart' team, the 'Mr. Bachchan' team is actively engaging in promotions, conducting consecutive press meets to reach the audience. Promotions generally impact a movie’s opening, and analysts are surprised at the lack of initiative from 'Double Ismart' given the importance of such promotions. With 'Mr. Bachchan' entering the race on August 15, is Puri feeling the pressure? This is under speculation. There are doubts about whether Puri is anxious about the movie's outcome. Backing Down Not an Option? It seems the 'Double Ismart' team tried everything to avoid a clash with 'Mr. Bachchan' on August 15. They reportedly requested the Bachchan team to delay their release, but were turned down. In this context, producer Charmee recently blocked Ravi Teja and director Harish Shankar on social media, according to reports.

      VD12: Exciting News for Vijay Deverakonda Fans.. A First in His Career!
      VD12: Exciting News for Vijay Deverakonda Fans.. A First in His Career!
      Vijay Deverakonda  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  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  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  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  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.

      Celebrate Navratri in Style: Stunning Yellow Outfit Inspirations from Your Favorite Stars
      Celebrate Navratri in Style: Stunning Yellow Outfit Inspirations from Your Favorite Stars
      The celebration of Navratri, meaning "nine nights," brightens up the entire country. During these nine days, women devoutly worship Goddess Durga in her various forms. Navratri occurs four times a year, with Sharadiya Navratri being the most prestigious. According to the Hindu lunar calendar, it falls in the month of Ashwin (September-October). This year, Sharadiya Navratri starts on October 3 and ends on October 12 with Dussehra. Sharadiya Navratri is a period of spiritual reflection, fasting, and prayer. During these nine nights, Hindus believe that Goddess Durga reaches the pinnacle of her divine energies. Devotees worship her to seek her blessings, venerating her nine forms which represent her power and compassion.

      "Box Office Battle Brews as 'Double Ismart' and 'Mr. Bachchan' Vie for Independence Day Release"
      "Box Office Battle Brews as 'Double Ismart' and 'Mr. Bachchan' Vie for Independence Day Release"
      With Icon Star Allu Arjun's "Pushpa 2" moving away from its August 15 release, a major showdown was expected. Ram Pothineni's "Double Ismart," directed by Puri Jagannadh, was then set to premiere on that date. Since no other film had claimed this slot, it seemed "Double Ismart" would enjoy a solo release. However, in a surprising turn of events, Ravi Teja's "Mr. Bachchan," directed by Harish Shankar, also targeted the August 15 slot, igniting a significant box office battle. Recent industry developments have raised doubts about whether director Puri Jagannadh is lagging in this competition. Rumors are circulating that he might be anxious, leading to a noticeable lack of promotions for "Double Ismart." Promotions... Depressions? As August 15 approaches, the "Mr. Bachchan" team is aggressively promoting their film, conducting successive press meets to drum up audience interest. In contrast, the situation with "Double Ismart" is starkly different. Puri Jagannadh and his team have not held a single press meet nor started any promotions yet. Normally, promotions significantly impact a movie’s opening success, and the lack of crucial promotions for "Double Ismart" has left industry analysts puzzled. With "Mr. Bachchan" now racing towards the same release date, questions are being raised about whether Puri Jagannadh has lost his edge. This has led to speculation about the potential reasons behind his concern, especially considering the critical importance of this movie for both hero Ram and him. The Unyielding Bachchan Team! It seems that the "Double Ismart" team tried everything to avoid a clash with "Mr. Bachchan" on Independence Day. There are reports that they requested the Bachchan team to delay their release, which was apparently declined. In this context, "Double Ismart" producer Charmme recently blocked Ravi Teja and director Harish Shankar on social media. Additionally, distributors from the "Liger" movie are reportedly upset with Puri for moving forward with a new film release without settling the losses from "Liger." This situation is putting further pressure on the "Double Ismart" team’s response. Strategy or Confusion? There is talk that the lack of promotions for the pan-India release of "Double Ismart" is a strategic decision. Director Puri is reportedly following Nag Ashwin's approach with "Kalki 2898 AD," focusing solely on content-driven promotions (trailers, teasers, lyrical songs, promotional posters). After the extensive promotions for "Liger" backfired, it seems the team is being cautious not to repeat the same mistake. However, some in the industry believe the ongoing distributor issues and complications with the "Mr. Bachchan" team are why the "Ismart" team has not been able to focus on promotions. They suggest the team is in disarray, which has stalled the start of their promotional activities. “We’re Releasing Early Because of the OTT Issue”: Harish Shankar Recently, director Harish Shankar responded to a reporter’s question about releasing "Mr. Bachchan" simultaneously with a Puri Jagannadh film, expressing that he cannot compare himself with a stalwart like Puri, whom he respects greatly. “It’s my good fortune that my film is releasing alongside his. The main reason for both films releasing on the same date is an OTT issue, prompting us to release earlier. I have no quarrels with Mr. Puri,” explained Harish Shankar.

      Exclusive: The Top Telugu Movie Flops That Had Audiences Leaving Before the Interval in Recent Times.
      Exclusive: The Top Telugu Movie Flops That Had Audiences Leaving Before the Interval in Recent Times.
      Tollywood has released countless films throughout its history. Naturally, not all of these films achieve blockbuster status. Audience responses can be mixed—while some movies become hits, others do not fare as well. The films we're going to discuss next, however, were particularly flops. Reports indicate that audiences walked out of the theaters before these movies even reached the halfway mark. Let's take a look at these films. [toc] Extra Ordinary Man From the day of its release, the recent film featuring Nithiin and Sreeleela , 'Extra Ordinary Man', encountered heavy criticism and trolling on social media. Critics admitted struggling to watch it even until the interval. Viewers were puzzled by the protagonist's actions, which seemed entirely controlled by the villain. 'Extra Ordinary Man' quickly became one of the most trolled films in Nithiin's career. Shaakuntalam 'Shaakuntalam', starring Samantha, arrived with high expectations, being her first venture into mythological cinema, and the promotional content had amplified these anticipations. However, the reception took a downturn after its release. Critics believed Samantha was not well-suited for the role of Shaakuntala, and pointed out issues with the dubbing. Online commenters also noted that the film was difficult to watch even through the first half. Radhe Shyam 'Radhe Shyam', featuring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, fell short of audience expectations. Although Prabhas's dashing vintage appearance had raised hopes, the film's blend of astrology and romance failed to connect with viewers. Social media was a buzz with comments from fans who felt bored within the first hour and many reported leaving the theater at the interval. World Famous Lover The film 'World Famous Lover', featuring Vijay Deverakonda with heroines Raashii Khanna, Aishwarya Rajesh, Catherine, and Izabelle, began facing trolls from its release. Critics targeted the movie for its focus solely on romance, lacking a substantial plot. Some netizens harshly commented that Vijay might be better suited for adult films. Social media posts reflected anticipation for the interval, with viewers eager to exit the theater. Brahmotsavam 'Brahmotsavam' is often cited as a significant disappointment in Mahesh Babu's career, leaving a lasting mark, as per his fans. Despite featuring a star-studded ensemble including Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha, and Pranitha, along with Satyaraj, Jayasudha, Revathi, Tulasi, and Rao Ramesh, the film did not engage audiences. Trolling started from the very first showing on its release day, with even Mahesh Babu's own fans admitting they walked out halfway through the movie. Son Of India 'Son Of India', featuring the veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu, encountered significant negativity even before its release. Notably, only two tickets were sold for the first show on opening day at one theater, an incident that quickly went viral on social media, with speculations that even those tickets might have been purchased by the Manchu family themselves. The few who did watch the film gave it negative reviews, resulting in its rapid withdrawal from theaters. It is considered the biggest disaster in Mohan Babu's career. Vinaya Vidheya Rama 'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', a film by Ram Charan and director Boyapati Srinu, faced widespread criticism from its first showing. People took to social media to label the film as extremely poor and expressed eagerness for the interval so they could leave. Audiences found certain scenes, like Ram Charan standing on a moving train to Bihar or him beheading the villain's henchmen and carrying their heads, hard to accept. Liger 'Liger', another disaster in Vijay Deverakonda's career, was directed by Puri Jagannadh and released on a Pan-India scale, only to receive a flop response. Interest in the film faded within the first hour of its release, leading to a flood of posts on the internet. Critics questioned why Vijay put so much effort into a role that ultimately did not seem to fit him well. Sakthi When you think of disasters in Telugu cinema, 'Sakthi' is often the first film that comes to mind. Its director, Meher Ramesh, is still playfully criticized by NTR fans. Viewers questioned how Tarak (NTR ) agreed to the script after just the first show. Criticisms also targeted the flashback scenes, noting that Tarak's look was completely unsuitable. The same director's film 'Shadow' with Venkatesh also ended up as a disaster. Interestingly, 'Shakthi' was still being mentioned during the release of Meher Ramesh's recent film 'Bhola Shankar'. Saleem 'Saleem', featuring Manchu Vishnu and Ileana D'Cruz, stands out as one of the notable failures in Telugu cinema. Manchu Vishnu notably slimmed down for his role in the film. Critics remarked that the movie appeared to be a jumble of four to five different film scripts combined. Comments indicated that the film turned dull before even reaching the midpoint of the first part.

      Chiranjeevi's Pioneering Cameo in Indian Cinema: A Look at the Best Cameo Appearances Across Industries
      A new trend of cameo appearances has started in the Indian film industry. Industries like Tollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood, without distinction, are following this trend and reaping successful results. By incorporating stars from other industries into their films for powerful cameo roles, they are creating significant hype among audiences and achieving blockbuster successes.

What was that film? Let’s explore this special feature on the best cameo films till now. [toc] Chiru's Cameo Chiranjeevi starred in the Telugu hit 'Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu' produced by Geetha Arts under Allu Aravind and directed by Kodandarami Reddy. Later, this film was remade in Tamil with Rajinikanth as 'Maapillai' by Allu Aravind. In this film, Megastar Chiranjeevi made a striking cameo. He appears at a temple stairs fighting a riotous mob intent on disrupting the hero's wedding. Notably, Srihari also appears in these scenes. Chiru even delivered his lines in Tamil himself. When Rajinikanth introduces his mother-in-law, Chiru whispers in his ear, "Your mother-in-law looks good!" (in Tamil) to which Rajinikanth responds jokingly, "You look like you're causing trouble! Leave now, man!" This cameo was unexpected at the time. Chiru and Rajinikanth had already acted together in several films, but this was the first time Chiru appeared in a guest role. Now, this practice is widely adopted across various industries. https://twitter.com/i/status/1212794102867083265 Films with Stunning Cameos Mr. Bachchan In 'Mr. Bachchan', a film by Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar, young hero Siddhu Jonnalagadda made a special cameo. Despite the film's flop status, Siddu's cameo still managed to elicit whistles in the theaters.

Young hero Vijay Deverakonda, Tamil actor Dulquer Salmaan, actress Mrunal Thakur, legendary director Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma briefly shined on the screen. Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan played full-length roles in this film. Salaar In 'Salaar', featuring Prabhas and directed by Prashanth Neel, well-known Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran played a significant role. However, it wasn't a cameo. He appeared as both a friend and a foe to Prabhas in a full-length role. Jailer In 'Jailer', starring Rajinikanth, two star heroes made cameo appearances. Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Kannada star hero Shivaraj Kumar appeared in guest roles, captivating the audience. Vikram In 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagarajan and starring Kamal Haasan, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi and Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil played key roles and significantly contributed to the film's success. Suriya appeared as Rolex in the climax, delivering a goosebump-inducing performance. Brahmastra In 'Brahmastra', directed by Ayan Mukherjee and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Telugu cinema legend Nagarjuna Akkineni made a special cameo. He impressed everyone with his action sequences. Waltair Veerayya In 'Waltair Veerayya', starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, star hero Ravi Teja played an important role, reaffirming his admiration for Chiru. The film achieved good success at the box office. Acharya In Chiranjeevi's previous film 'Acharya', Ram Charan appeared in a guest role. Before this, Charan had appeared in special roles in 'Magadheera' and 'Bruce Lee', surprising the audience. Laal Singh Chaddha In 'Laal Singh Chaddha', starring Bollywood star Aamir Khan, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya played a significant role. Although the film did not meet expectations, Chaitanya's performance was well-received. Liger In 'Liger', starring Vijay Deverakonda, world-famous boxer Mike Tyson appeared in the climax, surprising everyone. However, director Puri Jagannadh faced criticism for not utilizing him effectively.

      Devara Dialogues: Epic Lines That Will Give You Goosebumps!
      Devara Dialogues: Epic Lines That Will Give You Goosebumps!
      'Devara', an action drama directed by Koratala Siva starring Jr. NTR with Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. After many years, Jr. NTR performed dual roles in this film, portraying the characters Devara and Vara. Saif Ali Khan played the antagonist, while Prakash Raj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko played key roles. The script was carefully crafted by Koratala, reflecting his experience with 'Acharya'. The dialogues in the film are particularly impactful and linger even after the movie ends. The dialogues, especially those delivered by Jr. NTR, Prakash Raj, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, resonate well with their characters and are sure to draw cheers. [toc] Saif Ali Khan's dialogue: "Erra samudram kaadiki vachi raktham gurinchi matlaadutundava.. naaku chaavu gurinchi cheputundava"   Akkadi nunchi tappinchukunnna Ajay, Prakash Raj daggariki vellinappudu...   Prakash Raj dialogue: "Konda meedakocchi bhayapedudaam anukunnaava?"   Ajay: "Evadra nuvvu?"   Prakash Raj: "Singappa.. nuvvu digivachina konda meeda thoorpu dikkuna untanu."   Ajay: "Nenu ikkadiko panimida vachanu. Peddayanavi, mee vallaku oka maat cheppi oppinchagalava!"   Dialogues that come while traveling on a boat in the ocean… When Ajay dives into the ocean for his diamond ring and gets frightened seeing the underwater cages, the dialogue delivered by Prakash Raj is really good. Prakash Raj: "Vajrapu ungarm dorikinda? Samudramlo neeku kanuchchina dani bhayamto vajram gurtuku raale.! Ee bhayame neelanti vallu entha mandi vachina, entha aasha chupina, ikkada unnavaallu ee samudram joli ki matrame raaru." The dialogue Prakash Raj delivers while introducing Devara makes the fans blow whistles. Ajay: Kallu moosina, terisina samudramlo chusinde kanipistondi. Asalu evaru vallantha.. evaru chesaru idantha?   Prakash Raj: "Chala pedha katha saami, rakthamto sandrame erupekkina katha."   Ajay: "Evari katha?"   Prakash Raj: "Padi padi leche samudram meeda padakunda nilabadina vaadi katha.. maa Devara katha."   "Bhayam povalante devudi katha vinalaa, bhayam ante ento teliyalante Devara katha vinalaa."   "Kulam ledu, matham ledu, bhayam ledu, variki telisindi dhairyame." The dialogues Devara speaks about his father to his son Varan in that context are also good. Varam (Jr. NTR): Abba eppudu mee nanna kathalu, valla nanna kathalu chebutuntaav..! Maa nanna katha cheppu, Devara katha cheppu naaku!   Devara: Taruvatha taraniki cheppukunetantha kathalu kavuraa.. mee nayanavi. Maa nayanollaavi desam kosam poraadina veerula kathalu. Maavi.. evariki cheppukoleni cheekati kathalu, batikunnamane gani, bhavitaraalaku kathaluga cheppukunelaa ee batukulu marutaayo ledo maakuda teliyadu. The dialogues in the scene where Devara first confronts the arms dealers are powerful. Devara: Maa ayudhala leke indulo kuda ayudhalu unnayantav.   "Maa ayudhalu manchini chedu nunchi kaapadatanki puttay.. Mee ayudhalu manchini champadanki puttay."   Villain: Maatalu ekkuva avutunnay, samudram ekkala, samudram elala? The dialogue NTR delivers when Konda in Devara's gang turns against them is superb. JrNTR  dialogues   Devara:   "Chese pani tappani telisina mana avasaram kosam chesstunnav anukunna, ippudu ade alavatuga maari tappudu panulu mana rakthamlo inkipoyayani ippude ardham avuta undadi."   "Manishiki batikenta dhairyam chaalu, champenta dhairyam kaadu." Kaadu kuudadhu ani meeru malli aa dhairyanni kuudagadite.. aa dhairyanni champae bhayanni avuta..!   "Devara adiginadante.. seppinadani   Ade seppinadante..." Before the interval bang, there is an action sequence with NTR. Devara kills everyone who attacks him, turning the sea red with their blood. Then, the dialogues Devara writes on a rock really pack a punch. Dhairyam ekkuvai tappudu panulu chesstunna, manollae kada maata chebite maarutaaru anukunna..   Kani, bhayam ante emito teliyani mrugaaluga maaripoyaaru ani ardhamai undadi.   Mee kallamundu unte bhagavantudiki, bhootaniki kuda bhayapadaru.   Anduke eeroju nunchi vallalekka mee nundi dooranga vellipoyi.. kanarani bhayanni ayita.   Bhayam marichi eppudaina tappudu panikosam sandram ekkite... sandram odduna itta pandabeduta..!"

Tanga cheppe dialogue navvu teppistundi.   "Unde vaadilo.. unde aadilo..!   Naaku telsu.. intappati nunchi choosthundaga   Unde vaadilo!!" The dialogue that Janhvi Kapoor says upon seeing young NTR is also hilarious. Aaa aada aada.. veerudilekka aa nadaka choodu   Lopala pongi uppongutande..   Lopala The conversation between NTR and Janhvi Kapoor when they first meet each other is romantic. Tangam (Janvi Kapoor): "Endi itla vachinav?"   Varam (NTR): "Rayappa (Srikanth)to pani undi vachina."   Tangam: "Abbo appude maa ayyato matlaadedaka poyinava?   Eeroju naaku oopiri aagipoyela undi.   Naa veerudu ayudha poojaku siddhamavutunnada?" During the weapon worship, when the villain (Saif Ali Khan) belittles young NTR after drugging him, the dialogue spoken by Rayappa (Srikanth) is powerful. Rayappa Dialogues Emi jaraganatlu andaru antha marachipote manchidi Baira..   Vallu aadu kalipina matthu manduke padinarante.. podduna kallaa matthu digalaa..   Kani, vallu mancham kuda digala..   Ayudha poojalo meeru vaadi kantalona berukune chusundaru..   Kani nenu vaadi debbalo odupu chusina!   Devara lekka balanni chusina   Vaadi balam vaadiki kuda teliyaka, ila andarni matthulo petti gelavaalanukovadam vaadi pasitanam.   Kani o rakamga mee andariki, ade manchidi.   Samudram meeda oka Devara unnadu chalu,   Konda meeda inkoka Devarani tayaru cheste adi meeke manchidi kaadu Baira.

Devara Climax Dialogues   In the climax, the dialogues that Prakash Raj tells Devara's wife, Jogula (Shruti Marathe), about Devara give goosebumps. "Nee penimiti andarni vadilipetti eppudo poyinadu thalli.   Devara manalni vidichipetti eppudo chanipoyadu.   Inna ella ga andarni samudram pai tappu cheyakunda bhayapedutha undi.   Nee penimiti Devara kaadu... nee bidda Varam.   Chinnappati nunchi Devara cheppina kathalu vintoo perigi undademo.   Ee konda ni batikinchadaniki pedda kathani raasinaadu nee bidda.   Aa mrugaala mayalo padi gorra pilla la poyinadu anukunnaava?   Kaadu thalli, vaadini addupettukoni vellina vallu gorra pillalu.   Samudram lo eepatiki mrugani vetaadinaatu vetaadutuntadu nee bidda!"

To date, each of the 12 films released under Rajamouli's direction has achieved unique acclaim and remains evergreen in the eyes of the audience. However, many directors have attempted to emulate Rajamouli's style and failed. They tried making films with similar themes to Rajamouli's and ended up burning their fingers. Recently, Kanguva also followed Rajamouli's pattern but ended up disappointing the audience. What are the reasons for this? What other films have faced setbacks by following Rajamouli's approach? Let's find out. Did They Err by Comparing It to 'Baahubali'? The film Kanguva, directed by Shiva starring Suriya, was released worldwide on November 14. The pre-release event of this film invited Rajamouli, and the promotions hyped it as what 'Baahubali' is to Tollywood, 'Kanguva' would be to Kollywood, setting high expectations. However, post-release, the situation seems to have turned upside down. Viewers felt that the film lacked the substance found in 'Baahubali' and criticized director Shiva for his flawed storytelling. Rajamouli is known for evoking strong emotions, but Kanguva failed to resonate emotionally with the audience. The characters could not engage the audience on a journey, and viewers commented that it's worth watching the film only for Suriya's performance. Those Films Too Were the Same! Like 'Kanguva,' several past films have tried to replicate Rajamouli's formula and ended up being unsuccessful. The movie 'Sakthi' (2011) featuring Jr. NTR and directed by Meher Ramesh, aimed to captivate like 'Magadheera' but flopped. 'Sakthi' also revolved around a reincarnation theme but failed to capture the Telugu audience. 'Brahmastra,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, despite its large budget, failed to impress due to its inadequate content and visual spectacle. Even 'Ponniyin Selvan,' despite garnering positive reviews in Kollywood, could not create a sensation and only the first part met expectations while the second part did not live up to the hype. Bollywood’s 'Shamshera,' set against a British backdrop similar to RRR, also faced a terrible defeat. In Tamil, 'Puli' and in Malayalam, 'Marakkar,' although creating significant buzz in the style of a Rajamouli film, failed to succeed. The Secret to Rajamouli’s Success! When people think of a Rajamouli film, they envision a stellar cast, massive budget, spectacular graphics, and an evergreen story. These elements are considered reasons for his films’ sensational success. However, these factors are just key components that aid success, not the core of it. Rajamouli's real formula lies in the emotional drama—something many films miss and only Rajamouli manages to carry through. He places significant emphasis on emotions in his films, which he believes are crucial for success. Rajamouli creates an emotional bond between the viewer and the characters, drawing the audience deeply into his movies. This engagement makes the characters linger with the viewers, even after leaving the cinema, prompting them to revisit the film. This emotional connection is something many directors struggle to emulate. Rajamouli Busy with Upcoming Projects Following RRR, Rajamouli is set to direct a new film featuring Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB 29, which will be a pan-world movie. This upcoming film will showcase Mahesh in a never-before-seen look, set against the backdrop of the Amazon forests, with significant location scouting happening in South Africa. British actress Naomi Scott has been confirmed as the heroine. The initial schedule will be completed in a Varanasi set in Hyderabad, after which the second schedule will move to South Africa.

      HBD Anushka Shetty: Her Unexpected Crush Will Surprise You – It’s Not Who You Think!
      HBD Anushka Shetty: Her Unexpected Crush Will Surprise You – It’s Not Who You Think!
      Is there a heroine in the South who has earned the kind of craze that heroes have? Yes, Anushka Shetty comes to mind immediately. Anushka has made a name for herself in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam industries by acting alongside leading heroes and excelling in lady-oriented films. Today is Anushka's birthday, stepping into her 43rd year. Let's explore some interesting aspects of her career. Anushka, hailing from a prominent Tulu family, never thought she would become an actress. It was circumstances that led her into acting, she says. Anushka graduated from Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, which is also the alma mater of star heroines like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Mamta Mohandas. During her college days, Anushka attended a meditation workshop called 'Tapasya' even though she wasn’t particularly interested in it; she went because her father, Vittal Shetty, attended it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Anushka Shetty was trained in yoga by her mentor Bharat Thakur, and later chose to make it her profession. She even conducted yoga sessions in Mumbai for a while. While she was busy as a yoga teacher, Anushka seized the opportunity to act in the Tollywood film 'Super' directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring King Akkineni Nagarjuna. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Interestingly, Anushka Shetty’s real name is Sweety. She felt uncomfortable when everyone on the set of 'Super' called her Sweety. Thus, she decided to change her name to Anushka Shetty, which required waiting for a year for her family's approval. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Anushka Shetty is one of the tallest actresses in Tollywood, standing at 5 feet 9 inches. When she speaks on stage, some of our heroes appear shorter than her. Whenever Anushka is stressed about something, she engages in an interesting activity to overcome it. She reads her favorite proverbs, which she claims helps her relax immediately, she revealed in an interview. Anushka Shetty is very punctual and takes her meals on time, which she says greatly benefits her health. She completes her dinner by 8 PM, which helps her sleep well. She also starts her day with yoga before 7 AM, Sweety revealed her secret. This yoga beauty, Anushka, enjoys writing poetry in English and has a habit of collecting newspapers related to environmental issues. Before the movie 'Size Zero,' Anushka was quite slim, but she gained a lot of weight for the role. She has been trying to lose weight since, but the effects still linger. Unlike most heroines who have a crush on heroes, Anushka Shetty's first crush was cricketer Rahul Dravid, she revealed in an interview. Sweety has been a fan of Rahul Dravid even before she entered films but lamented that she never really got to meet him. 'Arundhati' was a turning point in Anushka's film career. Its success established her as a leading heroine in Tollywood. Following that, she starred in hit films like 'Rudhramadevi,' 'Baahubali,' 'Baahubali 2,' and 'Bhaagamathie,' which enhanced her fame. Anushka revealed in an interview that the offer for 'Arundhati' did not come directly to her. It was only after another actress rejected it that it came her way, though she didn't reveal who the actress was. Many might not know, but Anushka has released a book with her fitness secrets. 'The Magic Weight Loss Pill' by Luke Coutinho features 62 health tips and weight loss techniques Anushka swears by. Currently, under the direction of Krish, Anushka is filming for 'Ghaati.' In celebration of her birthday today, the first look poster was released this morning, showing Sweety with blood on her hand and head, smoking a cigar. At 4:05 PM, the movie team also released a special glimpse of 'Ghaati,' showcasing Anushka in a fierce mass elevation scene, chopping off someone's peak with a machete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5FkYULk3Ls

      Bollywood's Biggest Epic: Ranbir-Sai Pallavi's Ramayana Brings Together Oscar Winners, VFX Giants, and Star-Studded Cast
      Bollywood's Biggest Epic: Ranbir-Sai Pallavi's Ramayana Brings Together Oscar Winners, VFX Giants, and Star-Studded Cast
      It's known that a film based on the epic Ramayana is in the making in Bollywood. Titled 'Ramayana', the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with Bollywood's star director Nitesh Tiwari helming the project. The shooting for this movie began some time ago, and some photos from the set have already leaked. Meanwhile, the movie team has officially provided some dazzling updates about the movie. Let's take a look at these details now. In Two Parts... The film 'Ramayana' is being produced as a prestigious project in Bollywood. Produced in collaboration with leading Bollywood producers and Allu Aravind, the filming has been ongoing for quite some time, yet until now, no official announcement had been made. Noticing the fans' growing dissatisfaction, the movie team has announced the release date without any prior information and revealed that the movie will be released in two parts. They have announced that the first part of Ramayana will be released for Diwali 2026 and the second part for Diwali 2027, as confirmed by a poster release. Sunny Deol as Hanuman! It is already known that Kannada star hero Yash will be seen as Ravana in the film 'Ramayana'. Alongside him, several star actors are reported to be part of this big project. Bollywood star hero Sunny Deol is said to be playing the role of Hanuman. Rakul Preet Singh is reportedly playing the role of Surpanakha. Veteran actor Arun Govil, who became extremely popular as Rama in the Hindi 'Ramayana' series, is set to appear as Dasharatha. Furthermore, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana, Indira Krishnan as Kausalya, and Sheeba Chaddha as Mandara are among others reported to be in the cast. This information indicates that many actors from Bollywood are participating in the Ramayana project. https://twitter.com/seeuatthemovie/status/1854049562689740919 Oscar Winners for Music To compose music for 'Ramayana', two Oscar winners have joined the field. One is Indian Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, and the other is Hollywood Oscar winner Hans Zimmer. Initially, A.R. Rahman was chosen as the music director for the film, but aiming for international music standards, Hans Zimmer was also brought on board. This marks Hans Zimmer’s first Indian film project, known for his work in Hollywood films like 'The Lion King', 'The Dark Knight Trilogy', and 'Inception'. Special Focus on Graphics Following the release of 'Adipurush', where Prabhas starred as Rama and faced heavy criticism particularly for its graphics, being deemed too cartoonish and poorly executed, the 'Ramayana' team is taking extra caution. A graphic team that has worked on Hollywood-level films has been hired for this movie. It's reported that an agreement has been made with the Oscar-winning company DNEG for visual effects, involving a team of 26 experts from both Hollywood and Bollywood. This shows that the movie team is making no compromises when it comes to VFX. Trivikram Responsible for Telugu Version The responsibility of writing dialogues for the Telugu version of 'Ramayana' has been entrusted to the renowned dialogue writer Trivikram Srinivas, known for his special place in Tollywood and his strong grasp on Telugu literature. This has been confirmed through various films he has worked on previously. News had surfaced earlier about the 'Ramayana' unit approaching him, and there was a significant discussion on this topic, but Trivikram did not deny any of it, leading Telugu audiences to believe that he is indeed a partner in the 'Ramayana' team.
