Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations
Having started in the film industry as a choreographer, Raghava Lawrence has made a notable mark in both Telugu and Tamil cinema. Initially showcasing his skills as a director, Lawrence later proved his mettle as an actor as well. With films like ‘Mass’, ‘Style’, ‘Muni’, ‘Don’, ‘Kanchana’, and ‘Ganga’, he has captivated Telugu audiences. However, his recent release 'Chandramukhi 2' was a box office failure, placing a lot of expectations on his next project, 'Kala Bhairava'. Recently, the first look poster of this movie was released.
Lawrence in a Serious Look!
The film 'Kala Bhairava', directed by Ramesh Varma and starring Raghava Lawrence, is anticipated with high expectations. Ramesh Varma, known for directing successful films like 'Rakshasudu' and 'Khiladi' with Ravi Teja, is working on this project, which marks the 25th film in Lawrence’s career. On the occasion of Lawrence’s birthday on September 29, the first look and title poster of the movie were released. The poster, portraying Lawrence in an intense look, has gone viral online, branding it as a pan-India superhero film.
https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953
Biggest Budget in His Career!
'Kala Bhairava', featuring Lawrence as the lead, is being produced by prestigious banners including A STUDIOS LLP, Goldmine Tele Films, Neeladri Productions, and Havish Productions. Producer Koneru Satyanarayana is backing this film, which is being made with an approximate budget of ₹200 crores, marking it as the highest budget in Lawrence’s career. The film is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, with shooting scheduled to start in November and a release planned for the summer of 2025. Further details about the film are expected to be announced soon by the makers.
https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953
Are They Taking a Risk?
The decision to allocate a ₹200 crore budget for 'Kala Bhairava' has sparked diverse opinions within film circles. Despite Lawrence's recognition in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, his market performance is reportedly lagging, with none of his films reaching the ₹100 crore club to date. There is a notable risk in investing ₹200 crores based on the trust in Lawrence, with warnings of potential significant losses if the results are not favorable. However, the makers are not holding back on spending due to their confidence in the subject.
https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953
Lawrence’s Good Heart
Aside from acting, Raghava Lawrence is also known for his charitable activities. Having founded a charitable organization in the past, he has repeatedly helped the needy and farmers. Recently, on his birthday, he once again showed his generosity by distributing sewing machines to impoverished widows to help them become self-reliant. A video related to this act was posted by Lawrence on his official Twitter account, earning him praise from netizens who are encouraging him to continue such charitable efforts in the future.

It's well-known that superstar Mahesh Babu recently attended a businessman's birthday celebration in the Maldives.

Is Mahesh Babu That Much of an Introvert?
Superstar Mahesh Babu is known to be an introvert. He speaks very little at movie functions, often keeping his remarks brief, even at his own movie events. The recently viral video has once again highlighted how introverted he is. In the video, while Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh are fully enjoying the birthday boy's company, Mahesh Babu stands slightly apart, silently by himself. While everyone else is enjoying themselves, Mahesh simply stands aside, posing for the photo. This video going viral has led netizens to laugh and comment, asking if Mahesh is really that much of an introvert.

Mahesh Babu as Memers' Stuff!

Moreover, the video is being edited in various ways and used as material for memes. Introverts are posting, "Mahesh Babu... just like me," indicating that they too behave similarly when attending family functions. However, Mahesh's fans are countering these trolls in their unique way, asserting, "A full moon on one side... stars on the other," and claim that being distinctive among many is typical for their hero.

Mahesh Babu's Latest Look is Stunning!
More photos related to Mahesh Babu from the businessman's birthday function have gone viral online. Mahesh and his wife took photos with the birthday-celebrating businessman's couples.

Pushpa 2 Leak: Allu Arjun & Sreeleela’s Item Song Sparks Fan Debate Ahead of December Release
Icon star Allu Arjun and creative director Sukumar's collaboration for 'Pushpa' was a massive hit, well-known without the need for specific mention. Notably, Samantha's item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" became a national sensation. In this context, the currently filming 'Pushpa 2' includes a similar item song orchestrated by Sukumar. This time, Sreeleela is performing the special song instead of Samantha. Recently, as the song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) began shooting, a photo from the set was leaked, causing fans to purse their lips in disappointment. Let's explore the reasons behind this reaction.
Bunny and Sreeleela's Pic Leak!
The pan-Indian film 'Pushpa 2', starring Allu Arjun, is set to hit theaters on December 5. Currently, the filming of the item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) is underway. News has surfaced that the special song featuring Bunny and Sreeleela is being filmed. During this process, a related picture has appeared online and is going viral. In it, Allu Arjun is seen in a red outfit, and Sreeleela captivates in a black dress, showcasing her glamorous makeover for the song titled "Kissick." The film team has already announced that this item song aims to surpass the "Oo Antava" song, yet no official statement has been made about the leaked photo.

Netizens Disappointed!

https://twitter.com/ihsan21792/status/1855090800230584801
Dance Must Be Spectacular!
Despite the concerns about Sreeleela's looks in the 'Pushpa 2' item song, her dance performance is expected to be spectacular. It's no exaggeration to say that among current actresses, few can match Sreeleela's dancing skills. She has garnered more fans for her dance than her acting, as seen in her phenomenal performances in songs like the "Pulsar Bike" song from 'Dhamaka' and recently, "Kurchini Madathapetti" with Mahesh Babu. With such talented dancing from Sreeleela, when paired with Bunny, known for his own dance prowess, the item song is bound to be exceptional.
5,000 Screens Overseas
'Pushpa 2' is expected to release in over 10,000 theaters worldwide, with about 6,500 screens in India alone. Overseas, the film is set to premiere on 5,000 screens, which would make it one of the most widely released films in the history of the Indian film industry. Starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, 'Pushpa 2' is being produced under the prestigious Mythri Movie Makers banner by Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili. The film will premiere overseas on December 4 and across India on December 5.

Rajinikanth vs KS Ravi Kumar: Sensational Allegations by Tamil Director. What Did He Say?
Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is well-known for his widespread fan following across India. He is loved by fans beyond the film industry itself, with a strong fan base in Tollywood. Notably, prominent director K.S. Ravi Kumar has made sensational allegations against Rajinikanth. He expressed his dissatisfaction, blaming Rajinikanth for the flop of his movie. These comments have become a hot topic in Kollywood and nationwide. Let's look into the details.
'Rajinikanth created chaos'
The allegations made by Kollywood star director K.S. Ravi Kumar against superstar Rajinikanth are currently causing a significant stir. Their previous collaboration on the movie 'Lingaa' did not meet expectations. Recently, in an interview given to a YouTube channel, the director spoke about the failure of the movie. "Superstar Rajinikanth interfered with the editing of Lingaa. He didn’t give me any time to work on the computer graphics. He completely changed the second half of the movie. A song with Anushka and a twist in the climax were removed. He even added an artificial balloon jumping scene himself. Overall, Rajinikanth messed up the entire movie," Ravi Kumar made these critical comments. These remarks have gone viral on social media.
Working on Three Films!
Director K.S. Ravi Kumar is well-regarded in Kollywood and has had a good relationship with Rajinikanth. They had worked together before 'Lingaa' on blockbusters like 'Muthu' and 'Narasimha'. Then came 'Lingaa' in 2014. Featuring dual roles by Rajinikanth and starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka as the heroines, this message-oriented movie came with high expectations but did not perform as expected. However, it did fairly well in terms of collections. Made on a budget of Rs. 100 crores, the film collected around Rs. 120-130 crores at the box office.
After 33 Years, With Mani Ratnam...!
Exciting news has emerged about Rajinikanth’s future project. There is strong buzz that he will be working with star director Mani Ratnam. It’s been 33 years since their last collaboration, and rumors are circulating that they will be working together again. Their last joint venture was the highly successful 'Thalapathi' in 1991. Since then, they haven’t made a movie together. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place for a new project. If all goes as planned, an official announcement may come by December, around Rajinikanth's birthday, according to Kollywood circles.
Rajinikanth Recovers from Illness!
Superstar Rajinikanth recently recovered from an illness. He was admitted to a prominent hospital in Chennai on September 30th after doctors discovered swelling in the main artery coming from his heart. He underwent a transcatheter procedure and had a stent placed. With his health stabilized, he was discharged on the night of October 3rd. Doctors have advised him to rest for a few weeks. Currently, he is resting at home with his family, and his fans are eagerly hoping he will return to shooting soon.
Rajinikanth's Film in the Dasara Competition
Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' is set to release this week on a pan-India scale. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for the social message movie 'Jai Bhim', this film is produced by Lyca Productions. It stars Amitabh, Fahadh Faasil, Rana, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan in key roles. Anirudh provided the music. Scheduled for a Dasara release on October 10th, the movie is highly anticipated following the blockbuster 'Jailer', which also featured Rajinikanth.
Star Cast in 'Coolie'!
Rajinikanth currently has another big project on his hands with 'Coolie'. As his 171st film, 'Coolie' is shaping up under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj, following a series of hits like 'Master', 'Vikram', and 'Leo'. Naturally, expectations are high for 'Coolie'. The movie, set against a backdrop of gold smuggling, is being crafted by Lokesh Kanagaraj. In 'Coolie Number 1421', Rajinikanth will appear in a prominent role. Tollywood veteran actor Nagarjuna is playing a special character named Simon, who is crucial to the plot. Additionally, Kannada star hero Upendra is also part of the cast. Other popular actors like Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj are also participating in this significant project.

'This Is Very Special to Me'
Mahesh Babu himself posted the Telugu trailer of Mufasa on his X account. On this occasion, he made some interesting comments. "A new dimension to a character we know and love. I am very happy to provide the voice for Mufasa in Telugu. Being a huge fan of this classic makes this very special to me," he wrote. He also spoke about dubbing earlier, saying, "I have great respect for Disney. Mufasa attracts everyone not only as a father leading his son but also as a great king of the jungle. Working with Disney is personally very special to me. I look forward to enjoying this with my children. I am eagerly waiting to watch Mufasa with my family and fans on December 20."
Mahesh in Telugu, Shah Rukh in Hindi
The Hindi version trailer of 'Mufasa: The Lion King' was also released recently. In it, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan's son, Abram, has provided the voice for young Mufasa. Interestingly, in the same film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the older Mufasa, and his eldest son, Aryan Khan, voices Simba. Speaking about the film, Shah Rukh said, "Mufasa has a wonderful legacy. He reigns as the great king of the jungle. This role has resonated with me as a father. This movie shows how Mufasa's life unfolds from childhood to kingship. Working on this role again after 2019 The Lion King feels special, especially working with my children." The film Mufasa is set to have a grand release in Telugu, Hindi, English, and Tamil.

Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh... But!
This isn't the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan's 'Jalsa' and Tarak's 'Baadshah.' However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice.
Busy with 'SSMB29'
Mahesh is set to star in an adventurous action movie directed by the legendary Rajamouli. He will appear in a new look, sporting long hair and a beard for this role. Information suggests that the official launch of this movie by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli is imminent. The film will also involve several Hollywood actors and technicians, making it a highly anticipated project.

Exciting Update on Bunny-Trivikram Combo, Blockbuster Loading!
In Tollywood, certain hero-director combinations command a distinct fan base, often driving audiences wild with excitement. Notable duos like Prabhas-Rajamouli, Trivikram-Pawan Kalyan, Tarak-Koratala Siva, Allu Arjun-Sukumar, and Harish Shankar-Ravi Teja have become fan favorites, known to spark frenzy among moviegoers. Among these, the Allu Arjun and Trivikram pairing stands out as particularly thrilling, often regarded as the top in Tollywood. Whenever these two collaborate, fans are confident the film will be a resounding success. Their previous three films together have all been blockbusters. Recently, there have been intriguing updates suggesting that a fourth film from this successful combo is in the works.
Muhurtham Fixed!
Audiences are eagerly waiting for the next Allu Arjun and Trivikram movie. According to the latest buzz, the Muhurtham for this film to go on sets has been fixed. The film is slated to commence in September, starting with ritualistic ceremonies followed by regular shooting. With the ongoing pan-India craze, this film is also expected to release in multiple languages. Sources close to the director suggest that Trivikram will be venturing into the pan-India market with this film for the first time.
Who Among the Two!
The selection of the heroine for the Bunny-Trivikram film is also nearly finalized. The film team is considering either Bollywood actresses Janhvi Kapoor or Alia Bhatt to star opposite Bunny. With Janhvi gearing up for her Tollywood debut with 'Devara', she has already garnered some buzz in Telugu cinema, making her a likely favorite for Trivikram. However, considering Alia’s greater popularity in Bollywood, she is also under consideration, as her inclusion could enhance the film’s pan-India appeal. An official announcement regarding the heroine’s selection is expected soon.
Hat-trick Hits
It is well known that the previous three films under the Allu Arjun-Trivikram collaboration, 'Julayi', 'Son of Satyamurthy', and 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', have created a sensation in Tollywood and generated a tsunami of collections at the box office. These films have made Allu Arjun even more beloved among family audiences. These three were hilarious entertainers and remain memorable for average cinephiles. Fans are hoping that their upcoming fourth film will live up to the same standards and break past records.
Busy with 'Pushpa 2'
Icon star Allu Arjun is currently busy working on 'Pushpa 2' with director Sukumar, set for a global release on December 6. This film is a sequel to the blockbuster 'Pushpa'. Rashmika Mandanna is starring opposite Bunny. The film is currently being shot in a massive set constructed at Ramoji Film City, where key scenes are being filmed. All important actors, including the hero Bunny, are participating in this shoot.

Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?
Following the blockbuster 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in 'Game Changer', a political drama directed by Tamil cinema's renowned director Shankar and produced by Tollywood's notable producer, Dil Raju. Recently, Dil Raju hinted at a Christmas release, which had mega fans celebrating. However, new issues have surfaced that could potentially delay the film's release this year.
What's the Reason?
There's strong buzz that 'Game Changer', starring mega power star Ram Charan, might not release this year as planned. Although initially set for a Christmas release, it's now uncertain due to incomplete shooting. It's reported that more than 15 days of shooting are still pending, and director Shankar is still scouting for new locations. This could mean more time is needed to finish the shooting, followed by post-production and dubbing, possibly pushing the release past December.
2024 Summer Release?
The 'Game Changer' film, a collaboration between Ram Charan and Shankar, might move from December to the summer of 2025. Even though there's a chance for a Sankranti release if December is missed, several films are already slated for the Pongal competition. The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ have announced a Sankranti release. Similarly, films starring Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi, and Ajith’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’, and ‘Shatamanam Bhavati 2’ are also aiming for the same festive release. In this context, it seems unwise for the 'Game Changer' team to join the race. Given the exam season in February and March, cinema pundits are speculating a possible release during the summer holidays.
High Hopes on Game Changer!
Director Shankar’s recent release 'Indian 2' disappointed audiences, failing to meet expectations and earning criticism online. His previous films such as 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju is also counting on this film to recover from the financial losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which flopped at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are heavily reliant on the success of this Charan movie.
Kiara’s Poster Hits the Mark!
In 'Game Changer', Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the female lead. Recently, on her birthday, the film team released a special poster where Kiara looks stunning in a multi-colored lehenga. This look is from the movie's first single, 'Jaragandi Jaragandi'. In addition to Charan and Kiara, S.J. Surya, Anjali, Srikanth, Nazar, Naveen Chandra, and Samuthirakani play significant roles in the film.

'Kantara' Star Rishab Shetty Beats Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan to Become Lord Hanuman in 'HanuMan' Sequel?
Tollywood star director Prasanth Varma's highly anticipated film "Jai Hanuman" has just shared an exciting update. After much speculation about who would play Hanuman, the filmmakers have finally revealed that Kannada star hero Rishab Shetty will portray the role. The first look poster featuring Rishab Shetty as a powerful Hanuman holding a statue of Lord Rama has ignited immense interest among fans.
The previous film "Hanuman" by young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma shook the entire nation. Released pan-India in languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it became a blockbuster hit. This film, a festive release for Sankranti, outperformed major films and set new box office records, leading to high expectations for its sequel "Jai Hanuman." This has intensified the efforts to cast a notable actor for Hanuman's role in the sequel, keeping the audience in suspense.
Initially, there were rumors that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might play Hanuman, especially after the director hinted at the sequel's direction in the ending of "Hanuman." Reports were that Prasanth Varma had discussions with Yash of KGF fame, but due to his busy schedule with "Toxic" shooting, that combination did not materialize. However, last month Prasanth Varma met with Rishab Shetty and shared the story, sparking his interest in the project. This led to the official announcement of Rishab Shetty taking on the role, further raising expectations. Mythri Movie Makers are producing this big-budget film, and regular shooting will start soon.
Why Was Rishab Shetty Chosen?
Rishab Shetty, as a hero and director of the Kannada film "Kantara," demonstrated his capability on a national level, creating a box office tsunami. Before "Kantara," Rishab Shetty was primarily known in the Kannada industry, but now he's recognized nationwide and even received a national award for best actor. He is currently working on "Kantara Chapter 1," a prequel, in collaboration with a renowned Hollywood VFX company that has worked on successful films like "The Chronicles of Narnia," "The Lion King," and "Batman." This collaboration is expected to bring a new energy to "Jai Hanuman," aligning well with his rising popularity and the pan-India goals of the film.
New Project "Maha Kali"
On another note, director Prasanth Varma's "Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe" (PVCU) has just announced its third project, titled "Maha Kali" (MAHAKALI). The first look poster released by the makers indicates that this film will be the first female superhero movie in the Indian cinema landscape, directed by Pooja Aparna Kolluru. Produced under the RKD Studios banner by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal, this project adds new strength to our universe. Prasanth Varma’s post hints that Kali Devi will incarnate to battle formidable evil, promising to redefine what superheroes can be.

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