https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1830473835046461471
The Auspicious Time is Set!
There's strong buzz that the launch date for Mokshagna Teja and Prasanth Varma's film has been fixed. It is planned to officially launch the film on September 6th, coinciding with Mokshagna’s birthday. Preparations for the launch ceremony are reportedly underway, with many celebrities from Tollywood expected to attend. Nandamuri fans are thrilled that the long-awaited moment is just a few days away.
Balakrishna as Krishna!
The film directed by Prasanth Varma is said to be a mythological and socio-fantasy film, with the script already finalized. Inspired by the Mahabharata, the storyline has been prepared. There has been ongoing speculation that Balakrishna will play a significant role in the film. The latest buzz suggests that Balakrishna will appear as Krishna, similar to his role in "Hanuman." Like superhero and mythological elements mixed in "Hanuman," this film will reportedly take a turn with Balakrishna’s entry as Krishna towards the end. Rumors also suggest that Balakrishna might appear as Arjuna. Clarity from Prasanth Varma’s team is awaited on these speculations.
Has the Heroine Been Fixed?
The film featuring Mokshagna Teja and directed by Prasanth Varma is expected to hit the screens in 2026. Balakrishna’s daughter Tejaswini is said to be producing the film, a fact Balakrishna himself revealed recently. Rumors are circulating that Khushi Kapoor, the second daughter of Sridevi, will be the heroine. An official announcement from the makers is expected soon, which could set this pairing of Mokshagna and Khushi Kapoor as a new trendsetter.
Mokshagna’s Looks Go Viral
As the confirmation of Mokshagna’s debut solidifies, his recent photos have gone viral. Speaking at a film event, Balakrishna mentioned that Mokshagna would be facing the camera this year. Currently, Mokshagna is involved in preparatory activities. Some of his looks from a recent photoshoot have surfaced, becoming highly viral on social media. Fans are convinced that this Nandamuri scion will soon make a splash on the big screen.

Jr NTR: Mind-blowing Future Projects – Four Major Films in Two Years!
Among the few heroes who can truly shake the box office, Jr. NTR stands out. Whenever he releases a movie, all previous records are expected to be sidelined. The mere presence of NTR on the big screen sends fans into frenzies of excitement. It has been over two and a half years since his last film, and he hasn’t greeted audiences since ‘RRR’ in 2022, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his next projects. NTR is set to return with 'Devara' on September 27. Moreover, to fully satisfy the high expectations of his fans, he is preparing several exciting projects. Over the next two years, he plans to release no less than four major-budget films. The lineup of NTR's future projects is sure to astound anyone.
A Feast for Fans!
From 2018 to August 2024, the only movie NTR released was ‘RRR’, which sufficiently bridged any gap left by its massive success. Now, he is set to appear in a series of upcoming films, starting with ‘Devara’ directed by Koratala Siva. The next two years will see him releasing four pan-India films, offering a big treat to his audience. After making noise with 'Devara', he will entertain fans with the Bollywood movie 'War 2', sharing the screen with star hero Hrithik Roshan. There’s also a sequel, 'Devara 2', in NTR’s lineup. Recently, the highly anticipated project 'NTR 31' directed by Prashanth Neel was kicked off. This film, expected to be released for Sankranti 2026, is also rumored to include another movie directed by Shouryuv under the 'Hi Nanna' banner, which also appears to have pan-India scope. All in all, NTR seems to have planned at least four film releases over the next two years.
Is This the Story of 'NTR 31'?
The long-awaited project by NTR and Prashanth Neel started on Friday (August 9) with a ceremonial pooja. Observations of the new poster for NTR31 suggest that the film’s plot revolves around an opium mafia narrative set between China and India around 1969. The Kolkata port, being close to the Golden Triangle, was then a hub for opium smuggling. This facilitated frequent skirmishes between the local gangs and the active Chinese mafia in Kolkata. These links reportedly extended all the way to Southeast Asia and even Europe. Currently, there’s strong buzz that Prashanth Neel is shaping the NTR31 project around these points. The film unit needs to provide clarity on these details.
Dual Roles for Tarak!
There’s exciting news about the upcoming 'NTR 31' project under the combination of Tarak and Prashanth Neel. According to the buzz, NTR will be performing dual roles. One of the characters is a 75-year-old man, a role he has never played before, while the other character will be that of a mafia don. Mythri Movie Makers are expected to start shooting this film in September, with an official announcement anticipated soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with the pre-production work.
The Title Decided!
The film NTR 31 is considering an intriguing title, ‘Dragon’, which has been under deliberation for some time. The term ‘Dragon’ in European languages signifies evil, chaos, and the ability to breathe fire, making it a powerful name. Given that Tarak will portray a character with negative shades, this title would perfectly match the film’s intensity. An official announcement regarding the title confirmation is expected very soon.

Tragedy Strikes 'Kanguva': Editor Nishad Yusuf's Mysterious Death Shocks Team as Suriya's Epic Nears Release
The upcoming major pan-Indian film from the Tamil film industry, "Kanguva," has garnered immense interest among viewers. Suriya stars in a leading role in this film, which is currently being promoted in all languages, with a special focus on Telugu and Tamil through various events to attract more attention.
Amid these promotional activities, the film crew received distressing news. The editor of the film, Nishad Yusuf, died under suspicious circumstances, which has deeply disturbed the team. He was found dead in his apartment in Kochi, causing a stir in the cinema community. Nishad, who was actively involved in the editing of the film, died suddenly at 2 AM, confirmed by the police. His body was found lifeless in his apartment in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi. With various suspicions arising, the police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation. They are interrogating residents of the apartment as well as Nishad's close friends and are looking into disputes among family members. However, his relatives insist that he had no troubles that would lead him to take his own life. The police are urged to conduct a thorough investigation. Nishad's death has plunged the Tamil and Malayalam film industries into mourning, with many industry leaders coming to pay their last respects.
Nishad Yusuf had worked on several intriguing films in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages, including "Audios Amigos," "Unda," "One," "Petarap," and "Saudi Vellakka," contributing significantly through his editing work. His sudden demise is a significant loss to the film industry. His last project, the massive pan-Indian film "Kanguva," is set to release on November 14. This tragic event has hit the film unit hard, just 15 days before the movie's release.
The team of "Kanguva" has expressed their shock over Nishad Yusuf's death. The hero, Suriya, stated that the news deeply upset him and he prayed for peace for Nishad's soul.
Meanwhile, promotions for the "Kanguva" movie are progressing rapidly in both Tamil and Telugu. Suriya himself is busy with press meets in Telugu. On Sunday, he visited the Bigg Boss house and interacted with the contestants along with Nagarjuna. Suriya has also started promotions in the Hindi belt. Alongside heroine Disha Patani and Bobby Deol, who plays the villain in the film, he is actively participating in the promotional activities. The film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on November 14.
The makers of "Kanguva" aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. Producer KA Gnanavel shared that while Suriya has dubbed for the Tamil version, AI-assisted dubbing is being used for other languages. This marks the first time AI is being utilized in Kollywood for dubbing purposes. The recent release "Vettaiyan" employed AI to alter Amitabh Bachchan’s voice, and now the complete dubbing for "Kanguva" is being done using AI, indicating a successful experiment, as believed by the producer. The film will be released in all major Indian languages as well as in English, French, and Spanish, with release dates for Chinese and Japanese to be announced soon.
With a target of Rs. 1000 crore in collections, "Kanguva" is set for a grand release, as recently stated by producer Gnanavel. The stories for parts 2 and 3 are also ready, and if the first part is successful, plans to produce these sequels will proceed. The producer has expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level, with a strong emphasis on action and emotions in the movie, which is currently being shot at a brisk pace. Disha Patani stars opposite Suriya, and Bobby Deol, famous for "Animal," plays the villain. Suriya will appear as a warrior named Kanga in the film.

How to Track Product Prices During Sales: Tools and Tips to Avoid Falling into the Discount Trap
As the festive season approaches, major e-commerce platforms have announced their sale dates. With the sales starting in just a few days, many people have already added their desired products to their carts, eagerly waiting for the deals to kick in and make their purchases. Products tend to be available at lower prices during sale periods. However, it is also common for some sellers to increase the product prices right before the sale and then show them as discounted during the sale, making customers believe they have purchased at a lower price. Therefore, it is important to know whether the product price during the sale is genuinely discounted. Let's look at how to check the price history of a product.
Apps that help with checking price history
When browsing any product on e-commerce platforms, you can also check its price history. You can download a price history online shopping app (Buyhatke) on your mobile and view it. On the e-commerce site, you can click the share option and select the installed app. This action will pop up information without needing to open the app itself.
The pop-up will display the product’s highest and lowest prices, along with a chart showing the entire price history, including information about when the prices dropped. It also indicates the likelihood of the product's price dropping in the coming days.
Other websites/extensions
Apart from apps, you can also check a product's price history through other websites. For example, you can easily search any product on pricehistoryapp.com. By pasting the link of the product you want to buy into the search bar of the website, you can see the changes in its price.
Extensions like Keepa are also very helpful. You can install the Keepa extension in your browser to check the price history of products on Amazon. When you open a product on Amazon and scroll down, the price chart will be displayed. For Flipkart, the PRICE HISTORY extension is available, which also easily lets you track product prices on Flipkart.
These extensions and apps help you monitor product price histories, assisting you in buying at the right time and the right price.
If you find this information useful, consider sharing it with your friends to help them shop smarter.

"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.

Sivakarthikeyan's 'Amaran' Shatters Records: ₹300 Crore Club Entry and Unstoppable Box Office Run!
Kollywood star actor Sivakarthikeyan headlines the film Amaran, which explores various facets of the life of the late Major Mukund. Released grandly in Telugu, Tamil, and other languages on October 31, the movie has achieved super hit status. Even 19 days post-release, it continues to perform exceptionally well, astonishing everyone with record-breaking collections (Amaran Collections) in Telugu and maintaining full occupancy in theaters. As a result, Sivakarthikeyan has reached another milestone in his career.
Into the ₹300 Crore Club...
The film Amaran, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy with Sivakarthikeyan as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine, was released on October 31, coinciding with Diwali. It met and exceeded all expectations, putting on a spectacular performance at the box office. In the first 19 days alone, the film grossed ₹300 crores (Amaran Collections). The makers released a poster declaring it a 'Mega Blockbuster.' It is noteworthy that no other film in Sivakarthikeyan’s career has reached the ₹300 crore mark before Amaran.
https://twitter.com/Dasarathan_1720/status/1858698464630063231
Profits All Around in Telugu...
Telugu audiences have also wholeheartedly embraced Amaran. The movie's Telugu rights were sold for ₹4 crores, with a break-even target of ₹8 crores. However, the film received an unexpectedly positive response in Telugu, garnering gross collections (Amaran Collections) of ₹41 crores to date. This has resulted in a 500% profit margin for the Telugu distributors. Additionally, in Tamil Nadu alone, Amaran has collected ₹143 crores. It also grossed ₹11.50 crores in Kerala, ₹22 crores in Karnataka, ₹4.5 crores in the rest of India, and ₹79 crores overseas, delighting the Amaran team with such a response.
The Unexpected Flop of Kangava...
While the film unit of Amaran expected a hit, they did not anticipate these levels of collections, especially since they thought the Pan-Indian film Kangava starring Suriya, which released on November 14, might affect their long-run collections. However, Kangava received unexpectedly poor reviews, making Amaran the primary choice for moviegoers who, along with their families, preferred watching a good film in theaters. This is why the movie’s momentum at the box office (Amaran Collections) hasn’t slowed down even after three weeks. With no major star films releasing this week, trade circles anticipate that the collections will continue to rise.
Heading to OTT by Month-End...
The film Amaran, which has created a tsunami of collections in theaters, is set to debut on OTT by the end of this month. Reports suggest that it will start streaming on Netflix from November 29. If there’s a need to postpone the release date considering the collections (Amaran Collections), it’s assured to hit OTT by December 5 at the latest. With this, everyone who hasn’t seen Amaran in theaters is eagerly waiting for its OTT release.

Pawan Kalyan & Trivikram’s Political Thriller Before the 2029 Elections?
Producer Naga Vamshi, currently riding a wave of successes in Tollywood, has recently brought the film ‘Lucky Baskhar’ to audiences, which has turned into a major success and continues to gain positive reception. At a success meet celebrating this victory, Naga Vamshi shared some intriguing details, particularly about upcoming projects under his banner directed by Trivikram.
According to Naga Vamshi, after a disaster in 2018, two blockbuster films directed by Trivikram have delivered significant successes. Following these, preparations are underway for another major project with Trivikram, which will be a political thriller planned to hit screens before the 2029 elections.
The last film Trivikram directed with Pawan Kalyan was ‘Agnyaathavaasi,’ which unfortunately did not perform well at the box office. However, subsequent films featuring Pawan Kalyan, like ‘Bheemla Nayak’ and ‘Bro,’ continued under Trivikram’s guidance, raising audience expectations for a solid hit from their collaboration.
Plot Background
After Naga Vamshi's speech, there has been widespread curiosity about how the upcoming political thriller directed by Trivikram will unfold. Questions abound about how Pawan Kalyan will be portrayed and what powerful role he will play. The film might include aspects from Pawan Kalyan’s journey since 2014, the foundation of his Janasena Party, the 2019 election episode where Pawan Kalyan faced defeat, and the shortcomings of the Jagan government. The film is likely to majorly focus on Pawan Kalyan’s alliance with the TDP, the jail episode involving Chandrababu, and the strategic decisions taken by Pawan Kalyan.
Trivikram Srinivas, who has so far been confined to family, romance, and comedy genres, venturing into a political thriller has piqued great interest. However, details about the cast in this political thriller remain under wraps.
Given Pawan Kalyan's active political involvement, industry analysts believe this story aligns well with his current focus. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan is busy with multiple film shoots.
Pawan Busy with Shooting
Pawan Kalyan is currently involved in the shooting of ‘OG,’ a project that had been postponed due to the AP elections. The shooting for ‘OG’ has recently resumed, with the movie team officially announcing that it is planned for release on October 25 next year. The shooting for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ has also started recently, with a massive set constructed in Vijayawada for this purpose. Pawan Kalyan is participating in this movie’s shooting, which the team plans to complete first before confirming the release date.

Bhagyashri Borse: Pan India Offer for Bhagyashri Borse, craze unabated despite...
Bhagyashri Borse, who has earned a name as a rising beauty in Tollywood, faced a major setback with her first film. Her debut Telugu film, 'Mr Bachchan,' was a colossal failure at the box office. However, audiences gave her performance positive reviews, suggesting a bright future for her. Amidst this, Bhagyashri has surprised everyone by bagging another bumper offer, captivating everyone's attention with a Pan India project. Let’s now look at the details of Bhagyashri's upcoming project.
Bhagyashri Pairs with Dulquer
Among the films featuring Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan as the hero, 'Kaantha' is one. 'Neela' fame Selvamani Selvaraj is directing it. Recently announced in celebration of Dulquer's birthday, this project received special affection from movie lovers. Bhagyashri Borse has been chosen as the heroine for this film, and the pooja ceremonies were also conducted. Photos related to this have gone viral on social media, with netizens posting that she has grabbed a great opportunity. Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media are jointly producing this film, with the regular shoot set to begin soon. Rana Daggubati will appear in a crucial role in this film.
https://twitter.com/DQsWayfarerFilm/status/1833013939837276196
1950s Background
The pooja ceremonies for 'Kaantha' were conducted at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad. Tollywood star hero Venkatesh gave the first clap for the movie, which is set in the backdrop of 1950s Madras. Dulquer’s character in this film is said to be completely different from his previous roles. Bhagyashri has also secured a character that emphasizes her acting skills. Their chemistry is expected to be exceptional. The shooting for this movie is about to commence soon.
Unabated Craze!
We already know how much Bhagyashri Borse trended during the time of the 'Mr Bachchan' movie. From being selected as the heroine, she continued to attract social media attention. The announcement of the first song from the movie drove the youth wild with its visuals. However, the unexpected disaster of 'Mr Bachchan' turned all expectations upside down. With her first film being a severe failure, she reduced her social media presence slightly. Recently, being chosen as the heroine for 'Kaantha' has proved that her craze hasn't diminished at all. Netizens comment that if she gets a proper hit, her status as a star heroine is assured.
Also in a Vijay Deverakonda Movie...
Bhagyashri Borse is also acting as the heroine in 'VD12,' which is shaping up under the combination of Vijay Deverakonda and Gowtam Tinnanuri. She is currently participating in the shooting. Vijay is expected to appear as a police officer in this film. The movie, with a concept of a regular constable becoming a mafia leader, is upcoming. Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas are jointly producing this film, with music by Anirudh Ravichander.

Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109: Allu Arjun and Balakrishna Face-off? Another Big Fight at the Box Office!
Icon Star Allu Arjun and director Sukumar's much-anticipated movie "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is currently shooting at a brisk pace and is set to hit theaters on December 6. Allu Arjun's fans are eagerly awaiting this date. With no other major releases scheduled for the first week of December, it is expected that "Pushpa 2" will dominate the box office. However, it seems that Nandamuri Balakrishna will provide strong competition to Bunny's film. A box office clash between Balayya and Bunny appears imminent.
Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109!
Nandamuri Balakrishna is working on an action entertainer with director Bobby. Known by its working title 'NBK 109,' this movie is also progressing rapidly. Initially, the makers planned to release the movie as a Sankranthi treat. However, recent buzz suggests they plan to release it a month earlier, on December 2, and preparations are underway. An official announcement may soon confirm this. If this happens, the box office clash between Allu Arjun and Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to be intriguing.
Akhanda Sentiment!
Balakrishna is also driven by a sentiment to release his film in the first week of December. His movie "Akhanda," released three years ago on December 2, was a blockbuster. Makers strongly believe that releasing 'NBK 109' on the same date will replicate that success. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara" is slated for a grand release on January 10, along with Venkatesh - Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's "Good Bad Ugly," and "Shatamanam Bhavati 2," all set for Sankranthi. Hence, 'NBK 109' might have to opt for an earlier release date.
Balakrishna’s Golden Jubilee Celebration
Nandamuri Balakrishna is celebrating 50 years in the cinema industry. A grand golden jubilee celebration is planned by Tollywood on September 1 in Hyderabad. The event invitations are being distributed jointly by the TFPC, TFCC, and MAA Association to prominent actors. Recently, Stylish Star Allu Arjun received his invitation. Earlier, invitations were also sent to Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and actors from Tamil and Kannada industries like Vijay Sethupathi, Siva Karthikeyan, and Shiva Rajkumar.
Balayya... Unstoppable
Nandamuri Balakrishna has been unstoppable in the industry for the past 50 years, acting in 109 films. Interestingly, he has worked with 129 heroines across these films.
