      Kalki 2898 AD Top Dialogues: The dialogues that made 'Kalki' a huge success!
      Kalki 2898 AD Top Dialogues: The dialogues that made 'Kalki' a huge success!
      Prabhas is the talk of the film industry right now. With 'Kalki 2898 AD' making waves in theaters, all eyes are on him. He's earning rave reviews for his performance, especially for action sequences that are said to rival Hollywood standards. This has led many to commend the 'Kalki' team for elevating Indian cinema to an international level. Particularly notable are Prabhas’s dialogues, which fans say perfectly suit his formidable screen presence. Dialogues by other major stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone are also receiving praise. What dialogues from 'Kalki' captivated the audience? In what contexts were they delivered? Let's delve into this special feature. Kalki Movie Dialogues The movie begins with a scene depicting the Kurukshetra episode. Ashwatthama commits a grave mistake by launching a weapon at an unborn child. The dialogues that follow, as Lord Krishna curses him, are captivating. Ashwatthama: Champadaniki vaste nannu champu Krishna. Nee upadeshalu vinadaniki nenu Arjunudni kaadu. అశ్వత్థామ : చంపడానికి వస్తే నన్ను చంపు కృష్ణ. నీ ఉపదేశాలు వినడానికి నేను అర్జునుడ్ని కాదు.  Krishna: Ee 18 rojulu Kurukshetramlo jarigina papaala kanna.. Nee adharmam nishkritamainadi. Dhronacharyudi putrudivi ayyundi intaku digajaraava? కృష్ణుడు : ఈ 18 రోజులు కురు క్షేత్రంలో జరిగిన పాపాల కన్నా.. నీ అధర్మం నిష్కృతమైనది. ధ్రోణాచార్యుడి పుత్రుడివి అయ్యుండి ఇంతకు దిగజారావా? Ashwatthama: Naa tandri peru palike arhata neeku ledu. Nuvvu anukunte atadi marananni aapagaligevadi. అశ్వత్థామ : నా తండ్రి పేరు పలికే అర్హత నీకు లేదు. నువ్వు అనుకుంటే అతడి మరణాన్ని ఆపగలిగేవాడివి. Krishna: Ashwatthama.. Devudaina krurudaina karmanu tappinchukoleru. Garbhasta sisuvupai astram vadilavu. Nee kharm nuvvu anubhavinkaka tappadu. కృష్ణుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. దేవుడైనా క్రురుడైనా కర్మను తప్పించుకోలేరు. గర్భస్త శిశువుపై అస్త్రం వదిలావు. నీ ఖర్మ నువ్వు అనుభవించక తప్పదు.  Ashwatthama: Ayithe sandhinchu chakram.. Vidhinchu nee shikshani. అశ్వత్థామ : అయితే సంధించు చక్రం.. విధించు నీ శిక్షని. Krishna: Chavu nee shiksha kaadu Ashwatthama.. Adi vimukti. Kalantaram Pandavulu andaru chanipotaru. Naa shareeramoo maranistundi. Ee yugam antharistundi. Kaani, neeku maranam radu. Veladi sanvatsaralu nee gaayalu maanaka.. Chavu raaka.. Brathakaleka.. Enno papalu choosthu jeevistavu. Ide naa shapam. కృష్ణుడు : చావు నీ శిక్ష కాదు అశ్వత్థామ.. అది విముక్తి. కాలాంతరం పాండవులు అందరూ చనిపోతారు. నా శరీరమూ మరణిస్తుంది. ఈ యుగం అంతరిస్తుంది. కానీ, నీకు మరణం రాదు. వేలాది సంవత్సరాలు నీ గాయాలు మానక.. చావు రాక.. బ్రతకలేక.. ఎన్నో పాపాలు చూస్తూ జీవిస్తావు. ఇదే నా శాపం. Ashwatthama: Mari naa shapaniki prayschittam leda? అశ్వత్థామ : మరి నా శాపానికి ప్రాయిశ్చిత్తం లేదా? Krishna: Nuvvu nannu champalanukunnav.. Kani oka roju nuvve nannu kapadali. కృష్ణుడు : నువ్వు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌.. కానీ ఒక రోజు నువ్వే నన్ను కాపాడాలి.  Ashwatthama: Nena? అశ్వత్థామ : నేనా? Krishna: Kaliyugam vastundi. Kali vastunnadu. Adharmam perigipoyi prapanchamantha cheekati ayinappudu nenu malli oka avataram ettali. Aa yugamlo Kali maha shaktishali. Enta shaktivantudu ante na puttukane apagaladu. Appudu nuvve na garbha gudiki kapala kayali. కృష్ణుడు : కలియుగం వస్తుంది. కలి వస్తున్నాడు. అధర్మం పెరిగిపోయి ప్రపంచమంతా చీకటి అయినప్పుడు నేను మళ్లీ ఒక అవతారం ఎత్తాలి. ఆ యుగంలో కలి మహా శక్తిశాలి. ఎంత శక్తివంతుడు అంటే నా పుట్టుకనే ఆపగలడు. అప్పుడు నువ్వే నా గర్భ గుడికి కాపలా కాయాలి. Dialogue A complex announces a bounty of 5000 units on a young man. A gang sets out to capture him. In the midst of his escape, Bujji (an AI vehicle) shackles him. Then, the villain's gang opens fire on Bujji. Amidst this, Bujji introduces her boss, Bhairav (Prabhas), elevating his status. Bujji: Hey.. Stop. Nannu shoot chestava. Ippudu choodu naa boss vachhi mee andarini smash chestadu. బుజ్జి : హేయ్‌.. స్టాప్‌. నన్ను షూట్‌ చేస్తావా. ఇప్పుడు చూడు నా బాస్‌ వచ్చి మీ అందరిని స్మాష్‌ చేస్తాడు. Villan Gang: Evaru mee boss? విలన్‌ గ్యాంగ్‌: ఎవరు మీ బాస్‌? Bujji: Paatha yuddhallo soldier. Intha varaku okka yuddhamlo odipoledu. The one and only Bhairava  బుజ్జి : పాత యుద్ధాల్లో సోల్జర్‌. ఇంత వరకూ  ఒక్క యుద్ధంలో ఓడిపోలేదు. ది వన్‌ అండ్‌ ఓన్లీ భైరవ  (After this dialogue Prabhas enters) Bhairava: Entry anantharam Bhairava nelapai guraka petti nidra pothadu.. భైరవ: ఎంట్రీ అనంతరం భైరవ నేలపై గురక పెట్టి నిద్ర పోతాడు.. Bujji: Bhairava getup.. Chala buildup ichaanu le. బుజ్జి : భైరవ గెటప్‌.. చాలా బిల్డప్‌ ఇచ్చాను లే. Bhairava: Bujji.. Bujji.. Please 5 minutes padukuntanu.  భైరవ: బుజ్జి.. బుజ్జి.. ప్లీజ్‌ 5 మినిట్స్‌ పడుకుంటాను.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) conducts experiments on pregnant women using his people in the complex. A scientist from Yaskin’s team tries to kill him in response. The dialogues Yaskin delivers while killing the scientist are captivating. Supreme Yaskin: Chaavuku nenu chaala pranalau icchanu. Adi nanneem cheyadu. Ninnu chooste jalestundi. Enduku nannu champalanukunnav? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌: చావుకు నేను చాలా ప్రాణాలు ఇచ్చాను. అది నన్నేం చేయదు. నిన్ను చూస్తే జాలేస్తుంది. ఎందుకు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌? Scientist: Manchi kosam.. సైంటిస్టు : మంచి కోసం..  Supreme Yaskin: Manchi.. Charitrlo enni pranalau teesindho telusa ee manchi. Rajulu rajyalu marutunna pratheesari marutundi manchi. Danni nammoddhu. Inthaki neekem kavali? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మంచి.. చరిత్రలో ఎన్ని ప్రాణాలు తీసిందో తెలుసా ఈ మంచి. రాజులు రాజ్యాలు మారుతున్న ప్రతీసారి మారుతుందీ మంచి. దాన్ని నమ్మోద్దు. ఇంతకీ నీకేం కావాలి? Scientist: Ee lokanni kapadali. సైంటిస్టు : ఈ లోకాన్ని కాపాడాలి Supreme Yaskin: Ade kada.. Nenu chesindi. Devudini, dabbulani, vandala yuddhalu chese andarini okka yuddhamtho gelichanu tappa?. Meera boodida chestunna prakrutini andanantha dhooramlu pettanu.. Tappa? సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్‌ : అదే కదా.. నేనూ చేసింది. దేవుడిని, డబ్బులని, వందల యుద్ధాలు చేసే అందరినీ ఒక్క యుద్ధంతో గెలిచాను తప్పా?. మీరు బూడిద చేస్తున్న ప్రకృతిని అందనంత దూరంలో పెట్టాను.. తప్పా? Scientist: Neeku istam vachhinatlu cheyadaniki nuvvu evaru? సైంటిస్టు : నీకు ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు చేయడానికి నువ్వు ఎవరు? Supreme Yaskin: Mari nashanam cheyadaniki meeru evaru? Enni yugalau ayina.. Enni avakasalu ichchina manishi maradu.. Maraledu. Idi nee tappu kadule. Human beingsku unna defecte adi. సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మరి నాశనం చేయడానికి మీరు ఎవరు? ఎన్ని యుగాలు అయినా.. ఎన్ని అవకాశాలు ఇచ్చినా మనిషి మారడు.. మారలేడు. ఇది నీ తప్పు కాదులే. హ్యూమన్‌ బీయింగ్స్‌కు ఉన్న డిఫెక్టే అది.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin rescues Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is pregnant with Kalki, from his own people and brings her to Shambala. The guard of Shambala, unaware of who Sumathi is, tries to stop them. The scene and dialogues that follow highlight this moment. Rakshanadhikari: Amenu ikkadaku enduku teesukochchavu. 5 million pounds pettaru eeme meeda. Complex matrame kadu worldlo prati okkaru ame kosam vethukunnaru. Ela kapadatavu? రక్షణాధికారి : ఆమెను ఇక్కడకు ఎందుకు తీసుకొచ్చావు. 5 మిలియన్ పౌండ్లు పెట్టారు ఈమె మీద. కాంప్లెక్స్‌ మాత్రమే కాదు వరల్డ్‌లో ప్రతీ ఒక్కరు ఆమె కోసం వెతుకున్నారు. ఎలా కాపాడతావు? Ashwatthama: Nenu kapadatanu. అశ్వత్థామ : నేను కాపాడతాను Rakshanadhikari: Asalu nuvvu evaru? Podugga unte saripodu. Eppudaina yuddham chesava? రక్షణాధికారి : అసలు నువ్వు ఎవరు? పొడుగ్గా ఉంటే సరిపోదు. ఎప్పుడైనా యుద్ధం చేశావా? Ashwatthama gurinchi telisina baludu: Excuse me.. Mahabharatamlo Sreekrishnudithone yuddham chesadu.. Oke. (Ikada highlight BGM vastundi) అశ్వత్థామ గురించి తెలిసిన బాలుడు: ఎక్స్‌క్యూజ్‌మీ.. మహాభారతంలో శ్రీకృష్ణుడితోనే యుద్ధం చేశాడు.. ఓకే. (ఇక్కడ హైలెట్‌ బీజీఎం వస్తుంది) Rakshanadhikari: Andariki picchi ekkinda? Eeme (Sumathi) ikkadi ravadam valla andariki entho dangero arthamavutunda? Tanu just.. lab nunchi escape ayina mamulu pregnant woman. Emi special woman kadu. Ayina puttedi devudu anadaniki enti sakshyam. రక్షణాధికారి : అందరికీ పిచ్చి ఎక్కిందా? ఈమె (సుమతి) ఇక్కడి రావడం వల్ల అందరికీ ఎంతో డేంజరో అర్థమవుతుందా? తను జస్ట్‌.. ల్యాబ్‌ నుంచి ఎస్కేప్‌ అయిన మామూలు ప్రెగ్నెంట్‌ ఉమెన్‌. ఏమీ స్పెషల్‌ ఉమెన్‌ కాదు. అయినా పుట్టేది దేవుడు అనడానికి ఏంటీ సాక్ష్యం. As soon as that dialogue is spoken, rain begins to fall immediately, a rare event in that region. The people of Shambala believe that the birth of Kalki will occur from her womb as her arrival brings rain. This scene gives the audience goosebumps. Dialogue Sumati (Deepika) questions Ashwatthama why Lord Vishnu chose her to be the mother of Kalki. The dialogues in this context are mesmerizing. Ashwatthama: Nuvvu pranam ivvadanike puttava amma? అశ్వత్థామ : నువ్వు ప్రాణం ఇవ్వడానికే పుట్టావ్‌ అమ్మా? Sumati: Asalu em matladutunnaru. Inka toli oopiri kuda teesukoni ee bidda kosam inka entha mandi chanipovali? సుమతి : అసలు ఏం మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. ఇంకా తొలి ఊపిరి కూడా తీసుకొని ఈ బిడ్డ కోసం ఇంకా ఎంత మంది చనిపోవాలి? Ashwatthama: Prati chaavuki oka paramartham untundi. Prati chaavu lokaniki kotta oopiri postundamma. అశ్వత్థామ : ప్రతీ చావుకి ఒక పరమార్థం ఉంటుంది. ప్రతీ చావు లోకానికి కొత్త ఊపిరి పోస్తుందమ్మా. Sumati: Kaani, nene enduku? సుమతి : కానీ, నేనే ఎందుకు? Ashwatthama: Moyagaligina shakti unnavarike badhyatanu istadu aa devudu. Bhagavantudni kadupulo moyalante bhoodevi antha orpu undali. Meelo aa orpu undane mimmalni talliga enchukunnaru. అశ్వత్థామ : మోయగలిగిన శక్తి ఉన్నవారికే బాధ్యతను ఇస్తాడు ఆ దేవుడు. భగవంతుడ్ని కడుపులో మోయాలంటే భూదేవి అంత ఓర్పు ఉండాలి. మీలో ఆ ఓర్పు ఉందనే మిమ్మల్ని తల్లిగా ఎంచుకున్నారు.  Ashwatthama: Nuvvu ippudu kanabooyedi mamulu pranam kaadamma.. srushtini. Janmanivvadam nee dharmam kaapadatam naa badhyata. అశ్వత్థామ: నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు కనబోయేది మాములు ప్రాణం కాదమ్మ.. సృష్టిని. జన్మనివ్వడం నీ ధర్మం కాపాడటం నా బాధ్యత. Dialogue Upon arriving in Shambala, Sumati is claimed by Chatterjee, the Complex representative, who instructs his men to seize her. He tells his commander that riders have been sent in all directions and they will soon capture her. Meanwhile, Prabhas, who has already battled Ashwatthama, declares they can do nothing more. The dialogue between him and Chatterjee captivates the audience. Bhairava: Aa musalodu unnanthavaraku em cheyaleru. భైరవ : ఆ ముసలోడు ఉన్నంతవరకూ ఏం చేయలేరు. Chatterjee: Musaloda? ఛటర్జీ : ముసలోడా? Bhairava: Mee vallandarini kottindi atade? Okkadu kuda vadni touch cheyaledu. Nenu tappa. భైరవ : మీ వాళ్లందరినీ కొట్టింది అతడే? ఒక్కడు కూడా వాడ్ని టచ్‌ చేయలేదు. నేను తప్పా. Chatterjee: Veedevadu asalu? ఛటర్జీ : వీడెవడు అసలు? Commander: Bhairava ani bounty enter sir. Mana vallani kodithe black list chesanu. కమాండర్‌: భైరవ అని బౌంటీ ఎంటర్‌ సర్‌. మన వాళ్లని కొడితే బ్లాక్‌ లిస్ట్‌ చేశాను.  Bhairava: Elagaina black list chesavu kada. Malli kodatha. Point enti ante nenu okkadine aa ammayini teesukuragalanu. Meeku vere option ledu. భైరవ: ఎలాగైనా బ్లాక్‌ లిస్ట్‌ చేశావు కదా. మళ్లీ కొడతా. పాయింట్‌ ఏంటి అంటే నేను ఒక్కడినే ఆ అమ్మాయిని తీసుకురాగలను. మీకు వేరే ఆప్షన్‌ లేదు.  Chatterjee: Antha sure aa.. ఛటర్జీ : అంత ష్యూర్‌ ఆ..  Bhairava: Records chusuko.. Inthavaraku okka fight kuda odipoledu. Idi kuda odiponu. భైరవ : రికార్డ్స్‌ చూసుకో.. ఇంతవరకూ ఒక్క ఫైట్‌ కూడా ఓడిపోలేదు. ఇది కూడా ఓడిపోను.  Dialogue In the climax of the movie, the scene involving Kamal Haasan sends chills down the spine. After gaining power, he declares, “Jagannatha rathachakralu vastunnayi vastunnayi.. Rathachakra pralayaghola bhoomargam pattistanu.. Bhukampam puttistanu.” ('జగన్నాథ రథచక్రాల్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌.. రథచక్ర ప్రళయఘోళ భూమార్గం పట్టిస్తాను.. భూకంపం పుట్టిస్తాను') revealing the extent of the destruction he is about to unleash in the second part of his dialogue. However, this dialogue originates from Sri Sri’s epic work "Maha Prasthanam." Kamal Haasan previously delivered this dialogue in the movie "Akali Rajyam" 44 years ago. Hearing Sri Sri’s poetry from his lips after so many years again surprised the audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TELUGU SONGS OLD (@telugu_songs_old) Dialogue In "Kalki," Prabhas, who has been playing Bhairava, shocks everyone by appearing as Karna in the final part. In the last ten minutes, featuring an episode from the Mahabharata, he as Karna shakes the screen. Holding a bow and standing on a chariot, Prabhas declares, "Is it too late, son of the teacher?" sending the entire theater into a frenzy. The introduction of Bhairava as Karna, especially during this climactic scene at Kurukshetra, draws loud cheers. Arjunudu: Ashwatthama.. thalaratanu raase Brahma chesina Gandeevam idi. Deenini evaru addukoleru. అర్జునుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. తలరాతను రాసే బ్రహ్మ చేసిన గాంఢీవం ఇది. దీనిని ఎవరు అడ్డుకోలేరు. Karnudu: Prabhas entry ichhi Arjunudu vesina banaanni niluvaristadu. Aa sandarbhamlo aalasyamainda acharya deva? ani Ashwatthamatho antadu. కర్ణుడు: ప్రభాస్‌ ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చి అర్జునుడు వేసిన బాణాన్ని నిలువరిస్తాడు. ఆ సందర్భంలో ఆలస్యమైందా ఆచార్య దేవా? అని అశ్వత్థామతో అంటాడు. Ashwatthama: Ledu.. Saraina samayamlo ne vachchavu. అశ్వత్థామ: లేదు.. సరైన సమయంలోనే వచ్చావు.  Arjunudu: Choosava.. Keshava (Krishnudu). Tanu naku samanuda? Vadni (Karnudu) addukoni mana ratham kevalam rendu adugulu venakki vellindi. Naa astraniki atadi ratham 10 adugulu venakki vellindi. అర్జునుడు: చూశావా.. కేశవ (కృష్ణుడు). తను నాకు సమానుడా? వాడ్ని (కర్ణుడు) అడ్డుకొని మన రథం కేవలం రెండు అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది. నా అస్త్రానికి అతడి రథం 10 అడుగులు వెనక్కి వెళ్లింది.  Krishnudu: O Dhanunjaya.. Nee ratham agnidevudi varam. Kapadutunnadani jendapai kapiraju (Hanumantudu). Naduputunnadi mullokala nadipinche nenu. Aina rendadugulu venakki toshadante alochinchu Arjuna. కృష్ణుడు : ఓ ధనుంజయ.. నీ రథం అగ్నిదేవుడి వరం. కాపాడుతున్నదని జెండాపై కపిరాజు (హనుమంతుడు).  నడుపుతున్నది ముల్లోకాలు నడిపించే నేను. అయినా రెండడుగులు వెనక్కి తోశాడంటే ఆలోచించు అర్జునా.  Krishnudu: Tanu (Karnudu) samanya yodhudu kadu. Tana kallaloni tejasu.. tana chetiloni dhanassu.. tana peru.. charitra eppatiki marchipodu. Surya putra Vaikarna.. Karna. (Ee dialogueto Kalki tolipart mugustundi). కృష్ణుడు: తను (కర్ణుడు) సామాన్య యోధుడు కాదు. తన కళ్లల్లోని తేజస్సు.. తన చేతిలోని ధనస్సు.. తన పేరు.. చరిత్ర ఎప్పటికీ మర్చిపోదు. సూర్య పుత్ర వైకర్ణ.. కర్ణ. (ఈ డైలాగ్‌తో కల్కి తొలిపార్ట్‌ ముగుస్తుంది).

      HBD Chiranjeevi: Special on Chiru’s Birthday.. Do you know about the events that made him a Megastar?
      HBD Chiranjeevi: Special on Chiru’s Birthday.. Do you know about the events that made him a Megastar?
      Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday is celebrated like a festival by his fans. Even celebrities extend their wishes on this occasion. However, Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, who became Megastar Chiranjeevi, did not reach the heights of fame effortlessly. He faced numerous obstacles and challenges throughout his journey, eventually earning a special place in the hearts of the audience as the Megastar. Today (August 22), on his birthday, let's look at the events and factors that elevated him to such a high status. The Incident That Fueled Chiru’s Determination Before entering the industry, Chiranjeevi lived in Madras with Hari Prasad and Sudhakar. They used to watch previews of movies distributed by Poornachandra Pictures and would give their ratings. On one such occasion, they sat in the front row to watch a movie. However, the hero of the movie, along with the driver and makeup man, came in and forcibly took their seats. Chiranjeevi and his team had no choice but to stand and watch the movie. When the wife of the company’s head asked, “How was the movie?” Chiru responded in anger, “Aunty, we came as your guests, but that hero made us stand by the door. We endured it because we didn’t want to cause trouble for you. If I don’t become the number one hero in this industry, you can ask me why!” True to his word, he reached that level. From Small Roles to Hero Status Chiranjeevi entered Tollywood in 1978. After many attempts, he got his first opportunity in the movie 'Punadi Rallu.' Interestingly, the film 'Pranam Khareedu,' in which he acted later, was released first. This film introduced him to the audience. While he was trying to establish himself as a hero, some people demanded that he play small roles in other heroes’ films. In one instance, Chiru mentioned that he acted in those roles, hoping the time would come when he could prove himself. He conveyed that despite the obstacles, one could reach their goal by staying positive. The Reason Behind Chiru’s Mesmerizing Dance In the early days of his career, Chiranjeevi’s dance was not exceptional. After completing a song shoot, he asked his manager how his performance was. The manager replied, “What’s there in it? You just did what the dancers behind you did. You need to show your uniqueness.” From then on, Chiru started going beyond what the choreographers instructed, captivating audiences with his extra effort. Chiranjeevi also once mentioned that film critic Gudipoodi Srihari played a role in helping him improve his acting. From Reviewer to Padma Vibhushan Megastar Chiranjeevi stays as far away from negativity as possible, which is why he always appears energetic. He strongly believes that listening to failure stories can lead to discouragement. He credits his immense self-confidence as the key to his success. Starting his career as a reviewer, he went on to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India, for his contributions to the film industry. Notably, he had already received the Padma Bhushan before this. Supporting Young Heroes Megastar Chiranjeevi is always at the forefront of encouraging newcomers. No matter how busy he is, he attends events for young heroes if invited. Speaking on this once, he said, “I don’t feel proud of this. When I entered the industry, I wished someone would encourage me. Now, when small heroes come to me and invite me, I see myself in them. I pat them on the back and encourage them as much as I can.” As the Darling Child of Art Chiranjeevi frequently responds to the issues in the industry and the struggles of film workers, offering help to the best of his ability. When some people called him the "Big Support" of the Telugu film industry, Chiru humbly denied it, saying, “I am just the darling child of art, not something big.” Leading in Charitable Activities Among Telugu heroes actively participating in charitable activities, Megastar Chiranjeevi stands out. Through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, he has brought light into many lives and continues to extend a helping hand to those in need. In his four-decade-long acting career, he has garnered millions of fans and won several awards, including three Nandi Awards for Best Actor. Currently, he is busy with his 156th film, ‘Vishwambhara,’ directed by Vashishta, set to release on January 10 next year.

      Arshad Warsi: Nag Ashwin Responds to Comments
      Arshad Warsi: Nag Ashwin Responds to Comments
      The comments made by Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi about Pan-India star Prabhas have caused significant uproar at the national level. Warsi compared Prabhas's character in the movie "Kalki 2898 AD" to a joker, sparking widespread criticism from fans and celebrities alike. Accusations are flying that Bollywood can't handle the success of Tollywood movies at the Pan-India level, showing jealousy, resentment, and envy. Amidst this, "Kalki's" director Nag Ashwin responded. His post on platform X has now become a hot topic. 'Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully' Recently, Nag Ashwin reacted to Arshad Warsi’s comments. A netizen posted a scene from "Kalki," captioning it as equivalent to the entire Bollywood industry. Nag Ashwin replied, advising against dividing lines like Tollywood versus Bollywood and urged everyone to move forward together, stating that we are all part of one industry. "Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully, but no worries. We will send Kalki toys for his children. I will work harder on the second part of Kalki and make sure Prabhas looks his best," he tweeted. Nag Ashwin emphasized ignoring hatred and moving forward, which Prabhas also advocates. https://twitter.com/Varun__Tweets/status/1827148108171768059 https://twitter.com/nagashwin7/status/1827177489455824930 Arshad Receives Sharp Retort from Nani Hero Nani also responded in his style to the comments Arshad Warsi made about Prabhas, noting that Warsi had never received such publicity before. These comments have also gone viral online. Bollywood audiences and Warsi's fans strongly criticized Nani's remarks. While promoting the Hindi version of "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" in Mumbai, Nani spoke to the media and retracted his statements, reflecting on his words. He reminded everyone that Arshad, widely recognized from the "Munna Bhai" series, should be careful with his words when speaking as an actor. 'Anti-Indian Arshad' Social media is ablaze with Prabhas's fans attacking Arshad Warsi, digging up his controversial past posts.

      Pawan Kalyan: A ₹1.60 Lakh Question on Pawan in a Hindi Show..
      Pawan Kalyan: A ₹1.60 Lakh Question on Pawan in a Hindi Show..
      Power Star Pawan Kalyan has made an indelible mark not only in Tollywood but also in AP politics. In the recent AP Assembly elections, 21 MLAs and two MPs from the Jana Sena contested and won, demonstrating their strength. After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide. In this context, a question related to Pawan Kalyan was asked in the famous Hindi TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, the video related to this is going viral online. What Was the Question? The current season, the 16th of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' is ongoing, with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. The show airs every Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony TV. In a recent episode, Big B asked a contestant a question related to Pawan Kalyan. "Who assumed the role of Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024?" was the question. The contestant chose the 'Audience Poll' lifeline for this question. Over 50% of the audience suggested it was Pawan Kalyan. The contestant locked in Pawan's name, and it turned out to be the correct answer, winning them ₹1.60 lakhs and moving on to the next question. https://twitter.com/i/status/1834848187862986820 Pawan's Lineup Currently, Pawan Kalyan has three major films lined up. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG' are in his pipeline. Director Krish has already stepped down from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and Jayakrishna has taken over the responsibilities. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' is to be directed by Harish Shankar. Pawan has also commenced 'OG' with young director Sujeeth. Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time. Busy in Politics Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume. Good News for Pawan Fans Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

      Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
      Nani’s 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Sparks Fan Concerns Ahead of Release
      Whenever one thinks of a self-made hero from this generation, Nani is the first name that comes to mind. Coming into the industry without any background, Nani has carved out a unique fan base for himself. Meanwhile, Nani's latest movie 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' is set to release this Thursday at a pan-India level. The trailer has already been received with great enthusiasm, boosting the confidence of Nani's fans about the film's success. However, new fears have recently emerged among Nani's fans, leading to their anxiety. What is bothering them? What could be the reasons? Let's find out in this story. Runtime Worries! The natural star Nani stars in 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya and produced by DVV Danayya. Priyanka Mohan is cast opposite Nani in this film. The movie has just completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate, with a fixed runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes. This has led to concerns among Nani's fans. Their previous movie under the Nani-Vivek Athreya combination, 'Ante Sundaraniki,' had a runtime of 3 hours and ended up disappointing the fans. Now, with 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also approaching with a lengthy runtime, fans fear a repeat of the previous experience. They believe that even if the story is good, a lengthy runtime could lead to viewer fatigue. Villain Takes the Upper Hand! In 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Tamil actor S.J. Suryah acts as Nani's antagonist, portraying a ruthless police officer. It seems that S.J. Suryah's role might overshadow Nani's, as the hero's role is expected to be quite subdued for the most part. Rumors suggest that the hero will have a significant impact only on Saturdays, with a more relaxed demeanor on other days. Film analysts predict that S.J. Suryah's role will leave a strong impression on the movie. Observing the recent trailer, while Nani's performance was commendable, S.J. Suryah, as the villain, had a more impactful presence. His acting prowess was striking, causing Nani's fans to express their concerns. They fear the situation if S.J. Suryah's performance eclipses their hero's. Revealing the Plot Too Soon! Actor S.J. Suryah is bringing new challenges to the 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' team. During promotional interviews, he has been openly discussing the plot, shocking everyone. He revealed why the hero only becomes active on Saturdays in one interview. At a recent promotional event, he even discussed the film's runtime before the censor was complete. This premature revelation of the movie's key points has led to fan unrest. Fans argue on social media about the loss of intrigue if everything is revealed beforehand. They are using S.J. Suryah's dialogue from the movie 'Maanaadu' – "He comes, he shoots, he repeats" – to ironically describe his current promotional tactics. You'll See the Dance of Shiva in Theaters At the recent pre-release event of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' Hero Nani made intriguing comments. "You will see Vivek's dance of Shiva in theaters on August 29. Everyone has worked hard for this film. It's a milestone. When I was feeling tense about the film, just listening to Jakes Bejoy's music took all that tension away. Bring extra bags of paper; Jakes has put in a lot of effort. Producer Danayya is a very positive person. He hopes for the best for the film. That's why good stories are always searching for him," said Nani, highlighting the collective effort and the anticipation surrounding the movie.

      Vishwambhara: Dissatisfaction from Megastar on Certain Scenes? Planning a Reshoot!
      Vishwambhara: Dissatisfaction from Megastar on Certain Scenes? Planning a Reshoot!
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas made a sensational impact at the Indian box office, known to all. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this futuristic mythology entertainer amassed over Rs. 1100 crore, receiving widespread acclaim for its massive sets and Hollywood-level VFX work, stunning all viewers as a visual wonder. Meanwhile, 'Vishwambhara', another upcoming film starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, seems to be following in 'Kalki’s' footsteps, with talks suggesting Megastar is taking a leaf out of darling Prabhas’s book. Following 'Kalki’s' Path in 'Vishwambhara'! For the 'Kalki 2898 AD' film, director Nag Ashwin constructed 16 massive sets that greatly contributed to the CG work, providing a fantastic visual feast for the audience. The 'Vishwambhara' movie team is reportedly adopting a similar strategy. Director Vashista is striving to create an entirely new world for this film, with 8 large sets already constructed and plans for another 4 underway. Art Director AS Prakash is working hard to create these spectacular sets, currently being built at Annapurna Studios. 'Vishwambhara' to Top After 'Kalki'! After 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Vishwambhara' is said to be the next big film with extensive set constructions, expected to deliver a visual treat on par with 'Kalki'. Megastar Chiranjeevi is reportedly playing a unique role that he has never attempted before, promising to thrill the audience with action sequences reminiscent of hero Prabhas. Chiranjeevi himself shared a video of his workout preparation for the film, indicating his dedication to the role. Trisha is co-starring with him in this movie. Megastar's Dissatisfaction Recent buzz suggests that Megastar Chiranjeevi is somewhat dissatisfied with 'Vishwambhara'. He has recently reviewed the footage from the shooting and has expressed concerns about certain scenes that deviate from the script. He has reportedly suggested changes to director Vashista. This has led to talks within the industry about potential reshoots for those scenes. Despite this, the makers have announced 'Vishwambhara' as a Sankranti gift, though there is speculation about whether the release date might change due to the reshoots. Bollywood Actor as the Villain In 'Vishwambhara', Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor is playing the villain opposite Chiranjeevi. He previously impressed in a special role in 'Devadas', starring Nagarjuna and Nani, and has now returned to act in 'Vishwambhara'. Originally, Rana Daggubati was offered the villain role, but he declined due to similarities with another character he was portraying. Several scenes with Kunal Kapoor have already been filmed. The film is being produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod. Alongside Trisha, Aashika Ranganath is also playing a lead role, with music composed by M.M. Keeravani.

      Aham Reboot OTT Review: Sumanth's Solo Act—Did the Experiment Work?
      Aham Reboot OTT Review: Sumanth's Solo Act—Did the Experiment Work?
      Cast: Sumanth Writer and Director: Prashanth Sagar Atluri Music: Sriram Madduri Cinematography: Varun Ankarla Editing: Murali Krishna Manyam Visual Effects: Shashwat Kaurav Producers: Raghuveer, Srujan OTT Platform: Aha The film 'Aham Reboot,' directed by Prashanth Sagar Atluri and starring Sumanth , was initially completed some time ago and was intended for a theatrical release. However, due to certain reasons, it was quietly released on the OTT platform Aha on June 30. This psychological thriller has made its way to streaming. Did it manage to impress OTT viewers? Did it provide another success for Sumanth? Let’s find out in this review. What’s the Story? Nilay (Sumanth), who dreamt of being a football player, turns into a radio jockey following an accident. One day while in the studio, he receives a call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. Initially dismissing it as a prank, Nilay is eventually convinced by her words and decides to go live. The police, listening to the radio, start believing that the girl has indeed been kidnapped and begin efforts to save her. They assign the task of gathering information about the kidnapped girl to Nilay, who is in the studio. Who is this girl? Was she really kidnapped? How do the police save her? Who is the girl Nilay lost in an accident? Is there any connection between her and the kidnapped girl? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. How Did They Perform? In the movie 'Aham Reboot,' Sumanth is a one-man show. He is the only character visible throughout the movie; all other characters are just heard. Sumanth captivates with his performance, embodying a modern young man carrying an unspoken sorrow and striving to save a girl's life as a radio jockey. He effectively conveys emotions and carries the story on his shoulders. Visually, Sumanth presents a new look in this movie. How’s the Direction? Directing a movie with just one character is akin to walking a tightrope, especially when the entire story unfolds in a single location. In this challenging endeavor, director Prashanth Sagar Atluri has managed to achieve a notable level of success. The narrative begins with a phone call from a girl claiming she has been kidnapped. The director skillfully guides the plot from gathering her details to forwarding them to the police, who then initiate a rescue operation. This approach keeps the narrative tight and engaging. A twist at the end that links Nilay's life to the kidnapped girl adds an intriguing element. However, the film's reliance on only Sumanth's character and dialogue to drive the story might seem monotonous to some viewers. For those with the patience, 'Aham Reboot' offers a compelling thriller experience. Technically... On the technical front, the background music is a significant plus for the movie. Sriram Madduri’s BGM elevates the thrilling scenes further. With just one character, the editing needed to be crisp, which worked out well. The production values are commendable. Plus Points - Sumanth’s acting - Innovative storytelling - Background music Minus Point - The entire movie revolves around just one visible character Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Prabhas, made a massive impact at the Indian box office. With a stellar cast including Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, the movie generated over ₹1100 crores, greatly exceeding expectations. This remarkable success has turned attention towards its sequel, with audiences eagerly anticipating the release of 'Kalki 2'. However, recent reports suggest that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is unlikely to commence soon, reportedly due to complications involving the lead actress, Deepika Padukone. Shooting Breaks! Producer Ashwani Dutt previously mentioned that 'Kalki 2' was expected to release around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already complete. However, the remaining shooting is facing delays due to Deepika Padukone. Currently, Deepika is pregnant and is expected to give birth in September. She has decided to take at least a year off from films after giving birth. As part of this, she has even let go of a much-loved project with Rohit Shetty and declined a prominent Bollywood show. This suggests that she might also be unavailable for shooting 'Kalki 2'. Deepika is Crucial! Deepika Padukone's role is pivotal to 'Kalki 2'. The second part is expected to revolve around her character. Director Nag Ashwin plans to resume 'Kalki 2' on the sets right after Sankranti, and hero Prabhas is eagerly waiting for this. If Deepika is unable to attend the shooting, it poses a significant challenge for the Kalki team, potentially leading to rescheduling the dates Prabhas had set aside for 'Kalki 2'. This unexpected development is creating new complications for Prabhas, leading to speculation that 'Kalki 2' might now be pushed to a 2026 release. The Real Story in Part 2! 'Kalki 2898 AD' seems primarily to introduce the characters. Prabhas (as Bhairava), Deepika Padukone (as Sumathi), Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama), Kamal Haasan (as the villain Supreme Yashkin), and Vijay Deverakonda (as Arjuna) are central to the narrative of Kalki. The director, Nag Ashwin, set up the backgrounds and significance of each character in the first part, showing the hardships people face at the end of Kali Yuga and the villain Supreme Yashkin's tyranny. The conditions before the arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, were depicted in 'Part 1'. However, the hero Prabhas and the villain Supreme Yashkin did not come face to face in the first part. In 'Part 2', these two are expected to confront each other directly, making the second part more intriguing. Kamal Haasan's Significant Role Kamal Haasan’s role in the Kalki film lasts less than 15 minutes, offering the audience little opportunity to see his performance beyond two or three dialogues. Supreme Yashkin gains divine power by injecting himself with serum extracted from Sumathi (Deepika Padukone) while she is pregnant. His enhanced power is shown in the climax of 'Kalki'. This indicates that Kamal Haasan’s role will be fully realized in 'Kalki 2'. Speaking at a recent event, Kamal also confirmed that he would appear more extensively in 'Kalki 2'. Consequently, fans might get to see more of Kamal Haasan’s formidable acting as the plot progresses, with Prabhas (as Karna/Bhairava) and Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama) aiding the young Kalki in defeating Supreme Yashkin. Who will Play Kalki? According to mythology, Kalki, the avatar of Vishnu, ends the Kali Yuga. From the start of the shooting of Kalki, everyone assumed Prabhas would play Kalki. However, the director threw a curveball by portraying him as Karna. This makes it interesting to speculate who will appear as Kalki in the film. Since Kalki remains in Sumathi’s womb until the end of the first part, there is no chance for him to suddenly appear fully grown in 'Part 2'. Thus, there is a possibility that Kalki might be shown as a child. This child, aided by Prabhas (Karna/Bhairava) and Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), might be the one to vanquish Supreme Yashkin.

      Balakrishna - Ram: A New Combo in Tollywood.. Has the Era of Multistarrers Begun?
      There's a significant craze for multi starrer films in Tollywood. Seeing two star heroes on the same screen is a feast for the audience's eyes. In the past, such multi starrer films were made on a large scale, but recently, their frequency has decreased. Consequently, the audience also shifted their interest away from the multistarrer mania. However, after 'RRR,' the demand for such films has resurged. With the right story, Telugu stars are ready to engage in multistarrer projects again. Recently, there have been rumors about new combinations like Chiranjeevi-Pawan-Charan, Ram Charan-Suriya. Now, there's buzzing news about a Balakrishna-Ram Pothineni combo film. Let's dive into the details. Multistarrer Loading..! Heroes like Nandamuri Balakrishna and Ram Pothineni, who have a strong following among mass audiences, are at the forefront. Actor Balakrishna has been targeting mass audiences with his films for some time. Although Ram started his career with lover boy roles, he has recently shifted focus to action films, appearing in movies like 'iSmart Shankar,' 'Skanda,' and 'Double iSmart.' The news of these two heroes coming together for a multistarrer has stirred excitement in Tollywood. Rumors suggest that the famous production house, Mythri Movie Makers, will be producing this project, and Kannada star hero Shivaraj Kumar might also join. However, there has been no official announcement from the production company yet. If this news turns out to be true, it will indeed be a festival for mass audiences. Good Friendship The personal relationship between hero Ram and Nandamuri Balakrishna is well-known. This was evident during the audio function of 'Skanda,' where Balakrishna graced the event as the chief guest and shared a close bond with Ram. In his speech, Ram showered praises on Balakrishna, stating that while he delights one generation, Balakrishna continues to enchant three. Balakrishna reciprocated by lifting Ram to the skies. This friendship transcends age, and if these two star heroes come together for a film, it's expected to shatter records. Buzz on Charan - Suriya Combo! A multistarrer featuring Global Star Ram Charan and Tamil star hero Suriya is rumored to be in the works. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for crafting love stories, is said to be directing this film. The script has reportedly been liked by Suriya, and it’s now awaiting Ram Charan’s approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this project is all set to go on floors, promising high-voltage fight sequences that could break box office records. Fans are posting eagerly, anticipating this could be one of the biggest Pan-India projects if it materializes. Mega Heroes in a Multistarrer! Among the directors close to the Mega family, Harish Shankar is a notable one. During the promotion of his film 'Mr Bachchan', Harish Shankar made significant comments about why he hasn't directed a pan-India film yet. He revealed that he is preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi, stating that if this project takes off, it would be the biggest pan-India film ever, surpassing all others. This news has the Mega fans celebrating and hoping the project goes on floors soon.

      This Week’s OTT &  Telugu Movie Releases (5th  July)
      The impact of "Kalki 2898 AD," starring Prabhas, continues to affect new film releases this week. Its box office success has made directors and producers hesitant to release their films, resulting in no new movies in theaters this week. However, from July 1 to 7, as many as 24 movies and series will debut on various OTT platforms. Disappointingly, none of these are Telugu films. Let's take a look at the major films and web series set to premiere on OTT platforms this week.

Pawan Siddhu and Sonia play the main roles, having already become popular for their work together in several short films. Their chemistry is reportedly also off-screen, which might add an extra layer of intrigue to the series in "Sasi Madhanam." Mirzapur Season 3 The Mirzapur series is well-known for its massive popularity on Amazon Prime. The previous two seasons, released not just in Hindi but also in various South Indian languages, have been highly successful. This week, "Mirzapur Season 3" is set to premiere.

      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.
