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.

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.

Tamil star hero Vijay stars in the latest action thriller "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time), directed by Venkat Prabhu. Meenakshi Chaudhary is the heroine, with Sneha, Laila, Prashanth, and Prabhudeva playing key roles. The film, featuring de-aging technology, marks Vijay's last movie before his rumoured entry into politics, which has spiked expectations. However, it was released worldwide on Thursday, September 5. In Telugu-speaking regions, the film received mixed reviews, whereas in Tamil Nadu, it particularly captivated Vijay's fanbase and garnered a hit talk. On its first day, the movie grossed over Rs. 120 crore. Now, let’s see how the weekend collections shaped up.



How Much Did The Weekend Collections Amount To?



Vijay’s "The Goat" (The Greatest Of All Time) lived up to expectations at the box office, grossing Rs. 282.5 crore worldwide in the first four days, narrowly missing the Rs. 300 crore club. However, it set a record as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Dhanush's recent film 'Raayan' crossed lifetime gross earnings of Rs. 154 crore within the first two days and set this feat. Notably, 'The Goat' grossed Rs. 106.40 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. In the two Telugu-speaking states, it collected Rs. 10.10 crore, Rs. 21.1 crore in Karnataka, Rs. 10.4 crore in Kerala, and Rs. 13.9 crore in the rest of India. Overseas, the film fetched around Rs. 120.15 crore according to trade estimates. Currently, the film is surging towards the Rs. 300 crore club.







What’s The Film Like?



Director Venkat Prabhu’s storyline doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Movies featuring a hero working in defense and the villain raising the hero’s son only to turn him against his father have been quite common. However, the scenes written about the son’s revenge seem interesting. The first half is mostly spent introducing the hero and other characters, with the story unfolding predictably until the pre-interval. The interval scene sets up an intriguing second half. Though the second half also largely unfolds as expected, the director successfully crafted an engaging climax. The twists in the second half will surprise the audience. The film’s comedy and dialogues are deeply infused with Tamil elements, which might not appeal as much to the Telugu audience. However, for Vijay's fans, this film is sure to be a treat.







What's the Story?



Gandhi (Vijay), a special anti-terrorism squad officer, conducts various successful missions with his teammates Sunil (Prashant), Ajay (Ajmal), and Kalyan Sundaram (Prabhu Deva). However, he keeps his job a secret from his wife Anu (Sneha). During one mission abroad, his five-year-old son dies. Believing her husband to be responsible, Anu distances herself from Gandhi. Distraught, Gandhi leaves the force. Years later, on a trip to Moscow, he encounters his son Jeevan (Vijay), whom he thought was dead, alive. Overjoyed, he brings him back to India. From then on, Gandhi’s acquaintances start dying one by one. Who is responsible for these deaths? How did his presumed-dead son come back? How does Gandhi stop the killings? These questions form the crux of the story.

Weekend OTT Suggestions: A Festival for OTT Lovers Must-Watch New Releases This Weekend!


Cast: Nandu, Tejaswi Madivada, Priya Anand, Ashutosh Rana, Pavani Reddy, Keshav Deepak, Sudha, Bhanu Chander, and others.



Director: Anish Kuruvilla



Cinematography: Naveen Yadav



Music: Shaktikanth Karthik



Editing: Umair Hasan, Fayaz Ray



Producers: Gopichand Achanta, Ram Achanta



OTT: Disney+ Hotstar



Starring Ashutosh Rana, Priya Anand, Nandu, Sonia Agarwal, and Tejaswini Madivada in leading roles, the latest Telugu web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" has been directed by Anish Kuruvilla. This suspense crime thriller has debuted on the prominent OTT platform Hotstar. How is this series? Has it pleased the OTT audience? Let's find out in this review.



Plot



Nobel laureate Indian scientist Vishwak Sen (Ashutosh Rana) dies unexpectedly in a flight accident, leaving behind an estate worth nearly ₹24,000 crores. Before his death, he writes a will distributing his wealth equally among all his relatives, with one condition: they must spend a week on Moksha Island. Agreeing to this, Vishwak Sen's family members land on the island, but unexpected events unfold, leading to their deaths one by one. What is the mystery of Moksha Island? Why did Vishwak impose the condition to stay on the island for a week? Are the people who went there really Vishwak's family members or not? What is Vishwak's connection to Moksha Island? That is the story.



Performance



The web series "The Mystery of Moksha Island" features several actors. Among them, Priya Anand, Nandu, and Ashutosh Rana stand out. Nandu justifies his role as a young man determined to solve the island mystery, while Ashutosh Rana is compelling as a cunning scientist. Tejaswi Madivada and Akshara Gowda attract more with their glamour than their acting. Roshan Kanakala, son of the famous anchor Suma Kanakala, impresses in a gay role. Bhanuchander, Sonia Agarwal, Ajay Katurvar, and Satyakrishna, along with others, do justice to their roles with their performances.



Direction



Director Anish Kuruvilla has crafted a well-written mystery story set on an island. He designed characters with varied backgrounds for the series, showing an unknown side to each character. Who is killing those who set foot on the island? Episodes where everyone suspects each other build suspense. The director engages the audience with numerous questions about the island over six episodes. The way he unravels the mysteries in the final two episodes is satisfying, although having too many characters on screen can be confusing. Romantic and bold scenes might be uncomfortable for family audiences. The climax might not be as satisfying as expected. However, those who enjoy thriller genres will likely appreciate this series.



Technically



On the technical front, Naveen Yadav's cinematographer is impressive. He beautifully captures the beach episodes. The art department also performs well; the lab setup looks realistic. The background music provided by Shaktikanth Karthik is decent. The editing is okay, and the production values are good.



Plus Points



- Acting of the main cast



- Engaging narration



- Twists



Minus Points



- Bold content



- Too many characters

"\The Mystery of Moksha Island: A Thrilling Web Series with Twists and Suspense


Young hero Teja Sajja and director Prasanth Varma's collaboration in 'Hanuman' has shaken up the entire country. Released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, the film has become a blockbuster hit at the pan-India level. The success of this film has turned all eyes towards Prasanth Varma's upcoming projects, and the director has previously announced that a sequel to 'Hanuman' is also on the cards. Currently, he is busy preparing the script for the sequel. In a recent interview with an English media outlet, Prasanth Varma shared interesting details about the release of 'Jai Hanuman' and about their cinematic universe, which has become a hot topic in the industry.



'Responsibility has increased'



Director Prasanth Varma expressed that the pan-India success of 'Hanuman' has increased the responsibility on him. "If 'Hanuman' had only collected Rs. 100 crores, we would have released the sequel by now," he mentioned. But the film exceeded their expectations in collections, which means there's more responsibility to work on 'Jai Hanuman'. Varma assured that they are working hard on the script for 'Jai Hanuman', aiming to meet and surpass everyone's expectations. He promised to deliver exactly what the audience expects to see on screen.







'VFX work ahead'



The VFX work of 'Hanuman' was a major highlight, receiving more praise than the hundreds of crores spent on 'Adipurush' for its graphics. Responding to this, Prasanth Varma mentioned that for 'Hanuman', they started the VFX work after shooting, but for the sequel 'Jai Hanuman', they are preparing the VFX ahead of time. This approach will save time during post-production. Shooting for 'Jai Hanuman' has not yet started.







Bollywood stars are confirmed!



Prasanth Varma made intriguing remarks about his cinematic universe, revealing that he has been in talks with some Bollywood stars for his films. He confirmed that these stars would definitely be part of his projects but mentioned that it might take some time. He also clarified that it would take some time before 'Jai Hanuman' goes on floors, as 'Adheera' is set to release first, followed by two more films he is currently working on. Other directors are also working on these projects, including one with Mokshagna. Varma aims to release at least one or two films every year.







Movie with Mokshagna to start



It's known that a film is forthcoming in the combination of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja and director Prasanth Varma. Recently, on the occasion of Mokshagna's birthday, the first look poster of the movie was released. Prasanth Varma expressed great pleasure in introducing Mokshagna to the industry. In the poster, Mokshagna appeared in a handsome look with a smiling face and a fully fit physique, making him look every bit the hero material. The look went viral on social media, with Nandamuri fans and cinema lovers wishing Mokshagna all the best.

The film with Mokshagna Teja, directed by Prasanth Varma, is tentatively titled 'PVCU 2'. Varma had previously stated that every film in his cinematic universe would link with his next film. In this context, 'PVCU 2' will pave the way for the release of 'Jai Hanuman'. This ensures that Mokshagna's film will definitely have a connection with 'Jai Hanuman', arousing curiosity among Nandamuri fans about how this linkup will unfold. Fans are eagerly anticipating what plan Prasanth Varma has concocted as they comment on their excitement.

Weekend OTT Releases: Must-Watch Films and Series to Binge.

A Comprehensive List of Adult Telugu Films Over the Past 25 Years Now Streaming on OTT Platforms


The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, created a sensation at the box office, garnering over Rs. 1200 crores. Many were eagerly awaiting its OTT release. On Thursday (August 22), 'Kalki' became available for streaming on two platforms. It was expected to dominate OTT as well, but unexpectedly, it faced stiff competition from 'Rayaan.' This surprising turn of events has shocked Prabhas’s fans.



Rayaan Outshines Kalki!



The film 'Rayaan,' directed and led by Tamil star Dhanush, was released in theaters on July 26 and achieved significant success, earning over Rs. 150 crores, marking it as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Recently, it debuted on Amazon Prime. Just a day before, 'Kalki' was also released on Amazon in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. It was anticipated that 'Rayaan' views might decrease due to 'Kalki's impact. However, surprisingly, 'Rayaan' excelled with even higher views than 'Kalki,' trending at number one nationally, pushing 'Kalki' to the second spot.

Is This Why Rayaan Dominated?



There seems to be a strong reason why 'Rayaan' received more admiration on OTT than 'Kalki.' Many had already watched 'Kalki 2898 AD' in theaters, and some even repeatedly. In contrast, 'Rayaan,' despite its success and buzz as a routine revenge drama, was not heavily promoted for big-screen viewings, leading many cinema lovers to hold off watching it until its OTT release. As expected, once 'Rayaan' hit the streaming service, everyone rushed to watch it first. Given that many had already seen 'Kalki,' OTT enthusiasts were more eager to watch 'Rayaan' first, leading to its prominent streaming success.







Big Salute to Dhanush’s Direction!



The film 'Rayaan,' which rained cash in theaters, is achieving similar success on OTT. The movie contains many elements that captivate audiences, notably Dhanush’s directorial expertise. The narrative, screenplay, and performances by Dhanush, Sundeep, S.J. Suryah, and Dushara Vijayan are particularly engaging. Dhanush’s portrayal in the fight sequences showcased his formidable presence, setting the action apart from typical films with its realistic feel. The drama and emotions are well crafted, keeping the audience engaged without any dull moments, earning Dhanush widespread acclaim.







Producer Surprises Dhanush



Prominent producer Kalanithi Maran produced 'Rayaan,' under Dhanush’s direction and lead role. Following the film’s super success, the producer uniquely thanked Dhanush by presenting two cheques (reflecting his dual roles as director and hero), which went viral on the internet. However, the exact amount on the cheques remains undisclosed, leading netizens to speculate and comment their guesses.






Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!


Star heroine Keerthy Suresh is best remembered for her portrayal of Savitri in Mahanati. Telugu audiences fondly recall her elegant and traditional appearances in movies like Nenu Sailaja, Nenu Local, and Dasara. In Tamil cinema too, she managed to charm family audiences without resorting to skin shows. However, there is a growing sentiment on social media that Keerthy has veered off her usual path. Her latest Bollywood debut in Baby Jaan has brought her unprecedented criticism. Let’s delve into what’s causing this uproar.



A Glamorous Turn for Keerthy!



Keerthy Suresh is starring alongside Bollywood star Varun Dhawan in the movie Baby Jaan. This marks her first direct Bollywood film.

Netizens Lash Out



Keerthy Suresh, who has previously been seen in traditional roles in Telugu and Tamil films, has faced backlash for her bold look in the Bollywood movie. Many netizens have criticized her move, questioning if such a level of glamour was necessary to secure opportunities in Bollywood. Some comments mock her, stating, "At this rate, a bikini is the only thing left." The bold look from the “Nayan Matakka” poster, released on November 22, has particularly drawn criticism, with cropped images of Keerthy trending online. One netizen wrote, “I thought Keerthy would maintain her grace like Soundarya, but she has taken a completely different route.” Rumors of lip-lock scenes in the movie have further fueled the outrage.

Has the Location Been Confirmed?

The latest photo shared by Rajamouli was also taken there. Alongside, a video has also gone viral showing Rajamouli traveling in a safari vehicle, inspecting locations in the national park.

Videos purportedly proving this point trend on social media. Rajamouli has responded to these claims, acknowledging that he does draw inspiration from Hollywood films. "Since childhood, we've been influenced by Hollywood films. I always wondered why our films couldn’t reach that level. Every time they say we copied, we did it better than the original, and no one is harmed. If I copied from a Tamil or Malayalam film, it would affect those writers and directors, so I don’t see taking inspiration from Hollywood as wrong," he defended.

Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it.



[toc]



The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood



Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films.







Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps!



In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess.

Inspired by Nageswara Rao...



Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni.

Interesting Post by Balakrishna



On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all.

ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood


The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report.



Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh



Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja.







Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra



Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.'







Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor



The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.'







Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath



Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads. Scheduled for release on October 31, 'Mechanic Rocky' has sparked curiosity among viewers. Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.'







Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna



The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans. Despite being a horror film, 'Baak' failed to make a significant impact at the box office.







Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh



Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister. Released on August 11 last year, the film failed to captivate the audience.
