Ravi Teja: How Did He Win Over Balakrishna's Fans with the 'Aavesham' Remake?
Among the stars of Tollywood, Ravi Teja is known as the 'Mass Maharaja'. Having delivered blockbusters such as 'Idiot', 'Bhadra', 'Venky', 'Vikramarkudu', 'Kick', 'Mirapakay', 'Power', 'Bengal Tiger', and 'Raja The Great', Ravi Teja hasn't been seen much in recent years. Although his recent films 'Dhamaka' and 'Eagle' seemed promising, they failed to deliver the level of success expected of Ravi Teja's caliber. His latest, 'Mr. Bachchan', also faced a dismal failure. Given his string of flops, it appears that the Mass Maharaja is taking a daring step by getting ready to remake a successful Malayalam movie.
Ravi Teja in the Remake of 'Aavesham'!
The Malayalam film 'Aavesham', directed by Jeethu Madhavan and featuring Fahadh Faasil in the lead, was an action-comedy that released this year and achieved great success, grossing over ₹150 crores at the box office. There has been talk in Tollywood about remaking this film in Telugu for some time. According to the latest buzz, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has acquired the remake rights of this film. Ravi Teja's acquisition of the rights has led to widespread speculation that he will star in the remake himself, to be produced under his own production company. An official announcement may also be coming soon, exciting Ravi Teja's fans.
Choosing Over Balakrishna...
There were rumors that Nandamuri Balakrishna would star in remake 'Aavesham' in Telugu, as Fahadh Faasil's role seemed a good fit for him. Balakrishna's fans even counted the film as one of his future projects. However, unexpectedly, Ravi Teja secured the project instead, charming Balakrishna's fans. Yet, Balakrishna's fans also say that Fahadh Faasil's role suits Ravi Teja well and believe that he will do justice to the various shades of the character. The question of who will direct this intriguing remake is currently generating much interest.
Struggling to Overcome the Flop Streak!
Ravi Teja, who once entertained fans with hit films, is now struggling with a series of flops. Of his last ten films, only one ('Krack') was a hit, and two others ('Dhamaka' and 'Eagle') received average feedback. The remaining seven were outright failures at the box office. The less said about 'Mr. Bachchan', the better, as it drew significant criticism and trolling for Ravi Teja. Critics have pointed out that he is not choosing age-appropriate roles and seems more interested in romantic scenes with much younger actresses. These criticisms have led Ravi Teja to decide that he must achieve a hit somehow and believes that remaking the successful Malayalam movie 'Aavesham' would be a safe bet.
Will 'Aavesham' Be a Good Fit?
'Aavesham' presents a unique story where three college students seek help from a local gangster, Ranga (Fahadh Faasil), to deal with their seniors. As the plot unfolds, Ranga forms a bond with the students, but complications arise due to his character, leading to an intriguing situation. Fahadh Faasil's characterization is a special attraction in this story. Given that the character suits senior actors well, initially, Balakrishna's name came up. Now that Ravi Teja's name has emerged, many wonder how he will fit into this role. There's no doubt that Ravi Teja can handle it, as the role demands a mix of comedy, action, and aggression, all of which he can deliver convincingly.

'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?
Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details.
Release Date Locked?
It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans.
Teaser Ready to Launch
So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans.
Why Only for Christmas!
It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan & Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas.
Director Shankar's High Hopes!
Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.

HBD Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna's Birthday Special- Daring Hero!
Entering the industry as the heir of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna has undertaken experiments that no other hero would dare to attempt. He fearlessly moved forward in his career with a variety of unique films, earning a distinct recognition in genres ranging from mass and class to spiritual and romantic. He successfully introduced his sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, as the third generation from the Akkineni family into the industry. Behind Nagarjuna's success in the industry are some daring steps. Let's learn about them on the occasion of his birthday today (August 29).
'Siva' Sensation
Typically, early in their careers, most heroes opt for safe stories. However, Nagarjuna made a big impact with the experimental film 'Siva'. He took a significant risk by giving Ram Gopal Varma, who had never even been an assistant director, a chance to direct. This daring step turned his career around, creating a sensation with 'Siva' in a way no one anticipated. This film not only changed the trajectory of Nag's career but also altered the course of Tollywood, challenging the traditional perceptions of a hero's role with 'Siva'.
Diversity a Priority
With 'Siva', Nagarjuna became a top hero in the industry. While typically a single hit film would set a repetitive pattern in stories, Nagarjuna planned his career to ensure diversity in every film. This strategy led him to star in a supernatural heist film 'Govinda Govinda', a family drama 'Ninne Pelladatha', and an action entertainer 'Hello Brother', continually delighting his fans and establishing a dedicated fan base, thereby solidifying his status as a star hero.
'Annamayya'
At a time when peers like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh were dominating with commercial films, Nagarjuna shocked everyone by signing on to the devotional project 'Annamayya'. Already popular for his mass image, his decision to do a devotional film raised eyebrows within the industry. Committed to portraying diverse roles, Nagarjuna embraced the challenge without hesitation, delivering a performance in 'Annamayya' that became a landmark in his career. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, the film was a sensational success, capturing the true essence of Annamayya and earning two National Awards, nine Nandi Awards, and three Filmfare Awards.
More Spiritual Films
Following the success of 'Annamayya', Nagarjuna didn't stop there. While continuing to act in commercial films, he also starred in more devotional films. Films like 'Sri Ramadasu', 'Shirdi Sai', 'Om Namo Venkatesaya', and 'Jagadguru Adi Shankar' under the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna also achieved great success at the box office.
Opportunities for Newcomers
Nagarjuna has proven time and again that not only is giving chances to newcomers not a risk, but it can also lead to success. Throughout his extensive acting career, he has introduced around 40 directors to Tollywood. Directors like Ram Gopal Varma ('Siva'), YVS Chowdary (Sri Sita Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Raarandi), Lawrence ('Mass'), and Vijay Binni ('Naa Saami Ranga') are included in this list. Nagarjuna often credits these new directors for playing a pivotal role in his stardom.
The First Pan-India Star from Telugu Cinema
Director Krishna Vamsi, in an interview, made interesting remarks about Nagarjuna, describing him as the hero who took Telugu cinema global. Nagarjuna brought directors from various industries and produced diverse films with his own money, significantly altering the audience's perspective. He worked with directors like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Ravichandran, and Mahesh Bhatt from Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil industries, becoming a true Pan-India foundation.

As the Host of Bigg Boss...
Unlike most stars who shy away from television, Nagarjuna embraced it. He has been hosting the Telugu Bigg Boss show for several years, entertaining the television audience with his charm. While younger heroes like NTR and Tarak hosted for only a season, Nagarjuna has been continuously hosting, completing five seasons (Bigg Boss 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and is set to host the upcoming eighth season. He has also been notable as the host of the 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' game show.

The Fitness Mantra
Even at the age of sixty, Nagarjuna's fitness level amazes the younger generation of heroes. Maintaining his physique from his 'Siva' days, he continues to give tough competition to younger heroes. Nagarjuna often shares that his secret to looking great is his calm demeanor and regular workouts. Having debuted as a hero in 1986 with 'Vikram', Nagarjuna has now acted in over a hundred films. Currently, he is working under the direction of Shekhar Kammula in 'Kubera'.

'Slaves' Comment Backfires: Tamil Actress Kasthuri Shankar Schooled on Chennai's Telugu Origins and Tamil Nadu's Hidden Telugu Heritage
Tamil actress Kasthuri Shankar, known for her roles in several blockbuster films like 'Bharatheeyudu', has recently made inappropriate comments targeting the Telugu-speaking people, equating them to slaves. Her comments, which purportedly elaborate on historical contexts, have sparked controversy in both Telugu states and have become a topic of discussion even in Tamil Nadu, where she is currently a member of the BJP. However, if Kasthuri were aware of history, she might have refrained from such remarks. Knowing the significant contributions of Telugu rulers, leaders, and individuals in Tamil lands would have offered a better perspective.
What Exactly Happened?
Tamil actress Kasthuri's recent comments have caused severe uproar in the Telugu states. During an event organized in Gurumoorthy Nagar in Chennai, she joined the BJP and targeted the DMK and the Karunanidhi family. She remarked that Telugu people, who initially came to serve in the royal courts 300 years ago, are now claiming Tamil identity, questioning who are others to deny Tamil identity to the Brahmins who came here long ago. She suggested that Dravidian ideologists oppose Brahmins merely because they advise against coveting others' wives, and thus, they oppose Sanathana Dharmam. She also claimed that speaking Telugu alone is enough to become ministers in Tamil Nadu, noting that five Telugu ministers are currently in the DMK government.
Impact on Tamil History
One of the prominent dynasties that ruled Tamil Nadu was the Cholas, among whom Kulottunga Chola-I was of Telugu descent. His father was Rajaraja Narendra, a ruler from the Vengi Chalukya dynasty who governed the region between Krishna and Godavari in present-day Andhra Pradesh. Kulottunga Chola’s mother, Ammangaidevi, was a princess in the Chola realm. After her father's death, instability plagued the Chola kingdom, leading Kulottunga to safeguard his grandfather's empire and continue ruling there. His descendants also successfully ruled Tamil Nadu. From 1061-1118, Kulottunga ruled as a Chalukya emperor, but his son Vikrama Chola became a Chola emperor, illustrating that the blood of Telugu Chalukyas was present in him. Historians often state that a Telugu person ruled the great Tamil kingdom of the Cholas, clearly marking the impact of Telugu culture on Tamil history.

The Telugu Name Behind ‘Chennai’
The name of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, comes from a Telugu person. In 1639, Damerla Chennappa Nayakudu, a prince under Venkatapati Nayak, a lord from the Andhra Padmanayaka dynasty, governed the area. The British, under the East India Company, settled there and later renamed the area as Madras. Over time, the area became known as Madras, but locals preferred to call it Chennai Pattinam or Chennapuri. Following local preference, after independence, the name was officially changed to Chennai in August 1996.

Telugu Influence on Madras
Previously, the combined state of Madras, now Tamil Nadu, was united with Andhra Pradesh. Due to Potti Sreeramulu’s hunger strike, Andhra Pradesh was formed as a separate state on October 1, 1953. Telugu people played vital roles in all sectors in the erstwhile Madras state, contributing to its development. From 1925-29, Srikalahasti zamindar Panaganti Ramarayanam served as the president of the Justice Party and Chief Minister of Madras, during which the current Thyagaraya Nagar was established. Between 1932-36, Bobbili Raja, Sri Ramakrishna Ranga Rao, served as the Chief Minister of the Madras Presidency. Rao Bahadur Kurma Venkata Reddy Naidu worked as the Governor of Madras.

Rajinikanth Praises Rana Daggubati’s Intense Performance in 'Vettaiyan'!
After matching Prabhas's performance in 'Baahubali', Daggubati Rana has garnered Pan-India popularity. As the grandson of legendary producer Daggubati Ramanaidu, Rana has carved a unique identity for himself in the industry, earning acclaim in Hindi films and supporting Telugu cinema in Bollywood. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' features Rana in a pivotal role, with a grand release planned for October 10. At the recent movie audio launch, Rajinikanth made intriguing comments about Rana.
'Rana was terrifying'
In the film 'Vettaiyan', directed by 'Jai Bhim' fame TJ Gnanavel, Rajinikanth spoke at the audio function. He extensively praised Rana, highlighting his achievements and recalling knowing him since he was a child through his grandfather. Rajinikanth noted that Rana used to visit the sets even as a boy, always jovial, but now he appears serious in his acting roles, which genuinely startled him. This video of Rajinikanth’s comments has gone viral online, with netizens admiring a superstar like Rajinikanth praising Rana.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1843720706057724332
Rajinikanth Alters the Story
Rajinikanth recently shared insights about the story of 'Vettaiyan'. He suggested changes to the original story brought by TJ Gnanavel, after his daughter Soundarya urged him to listen to it. Impressed, he requested the addition of commercial elements, which Gnanavel accepted, although he mentioned that it couldn't be turned into a film by directors like Nelson Dilipkumar or Lokesh Kanagaraj. Rajinikanth insisted on those changes, otherwise, he would have approached other directors. Ten days later, Gnanavel returned with the revised script, which surprised Rajinikanth. He also insisted that Anirudh should be the sole music director for the film.
Accusations Against Rajinikanth by a Tamil Director
Kollywood star director KS Ravikumar has made serious accusations against superstar Rajinikanth, stirring significant controversy. Their previous collaboration on 'Lingaa' didn't perform well, leading to negative publicity. In a recent YouTube interview, the director discussed the film's failure, attributing it to Rajinikanth's interference in editing. He claimed that Rajinikanth didn't allow enough time for computer graphics and completely altered the second half, removing a song with Anushka and a twist in the climax, and adding an artificial balloon jumping scene, contributing to the film’s disarray. These comments have now gone viral on social media.
Rajinikanth’s Future Projects
Exciting news has surfaced regarding Rajinikanth's future projects. There's strong buzz about him working with star director Mani Ratnam, reuniting after 33 years since their successful 1991 film 'Thalapathi'. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place. If all goes as planned, an official announcement might be made on Rajinikanth's birthday in December, according to Kollywood sources. On another front, Rajinikanth will be seen in 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, followed by 'Jailer 2' under the direction of Nelson Dilip Kumar.

After a long wait, there's an exciting update about "Hit 3." There's strong speculation that Rana Daggubati will appear as Nani’s antagonist. This news has currently become the talk of Tollywood.
Rana as a Psycho Killer?
Looking at the first two movies of the "Hit" series, both revolve around serial killings, a psycho killer, and a police investigation backdrop. "Hit 3" is also expected to follow a similar theme. In it, Nani is set to appear as a powerful police officer. Rana’s role is rumored to be just as formidable. Rana has reportedly responded positively to his character description. There’s buzz online that Rana will appear as a brutal psycho killer in "Hit 3," and his role is said to be quite terrifying. An official announcement regarding this is expected to be made soon.
Title Change..!
Natural Star Nani's last two films, "Dasara" and "Hi Nanna," were successful, encouraging him to aim for a hat-trick of hits. His upcoming film, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release soon with Priyanka Mohan in the lead female role. Previously, their collaboration in "Gang Leader" received mixed reviews, although Nani and Priyanka received high praise. "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" is scheduled for a pan-India release, with versions in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. The film will be titled "Saturday" in languages other than Telugu. It is expected to hit theaters on August 29.
Crazy Combo Locked..!
Another exciting partnership is forming in Tollywood. Natural Star Nani and renowned director Shekhar Kammula are rumored to be collaborating on a movie. Shekhar Kammula recently discussed the storyline with Nani, who was impressed and quickly agreed to the project. The film is likely to be produced by Asian Sunil. This collaboration marks the first time Nani and Shekhar Kammula will work together. Currently, Shekhar Kammula is directing "Kubera," which stars Dhanush and Nagarjuna. Once this film is completed, Kammula is expected to devote his attention to the Nani project.

Released this Friday (September 13), the film has garnered positive reviews, particularly for Satya's comedy performance. Let's now look at the first day's collections of this film.

They decide to settle for a decent earning life, but then they stumble upon a kidnapping case involving a ransom of Rs. 2 crores. Babu and Yesu plan to solve this case and claim the money for themselves. However, unexpectedly, the kidnapped young woman is found dead in their car, and a video surfaces providing evidence that they were the kidnappers. Who committed the murder? Did Babu Mohan and Yesu manage to clear their names, or are they still implicated? Did their desire to earn money get fulfilled? That forms the crux of the story.

Cast: Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, and othersDirector: T.J. GnanavelMusic: Anirudh RavichanderEditor: Philomin RajCinematography: S.R. KhadirProduction House: Lyca ProductionsProducer: Subaskaran AllirajahRelease Date: October 10, 2024
Superstar Rajinikanth plays the lead role in 'Vettaiyan - The Hunter,' directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for 'Jai Bhim'. Produced by Subaskaran of Lyca Productions, the film features Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles. The movie has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, the retention of the Tamil title in the Telugu version drew some criticism. Did the movie overcome these issues to receive positive talk? Did it bring Rajini another solid success after the blockbuster 'Jailer'? Let’s find out in this review.
Plot
Police officer Adhiyan (Rajinikanth) serves as the SP of Kanyakumari and earns a reputation as an encounter specialist. Based on a complaint from school teacher Saranya (Dushara Vijayan), he takes down a drug mafia leader. Later, Saranya is transferred to Chennai, where she unexpectedly becomes a victim of sexual assault and murder. As teachers' associations and the public protest on a large scale, the case is handed over to Adhiyan. He apprehends a person named Gunaa within 48 hours, claiming him to be the culprit, and executes him in an encounter. A judicial committee is then formed, headed by Judge Sathyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), to investigate the matter. What did the committee find? What was the reason behind Saranya's death? What role does the education mafia play in her murder? And how are characters like Patrick (Fahadh Faasil), Nataraj (Rana Daggubati), ACP Roopa Kiran (Ritika Singh), and Hanu Reddy (Sampath Raj) connected to the case? To find out, you must watch the movie.
Performance Analysis
As always, Superstar Rajinikanth delivers an exceptional performance. His mass moments, heroism, and elevation scenes make his character a visual treat. Especially, his dialogue delivery and mannerisms are sure to impress the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, in an equally important role, is fantastic, and their scenes together are electrifying. Fahadh Faasil, playing a police informer, is captivated by his witty performance. Rana Daggubati and Dushara Vijayan also got substantial roles and impressed with their performances. The rest of the cast has performed well within their scope.
Direction and Execution
Director T.J. Gnanavel, known for the socially conscious 'Jai Bhim,' attempts to deliver another strong message through 'Vettaiyan.' Adding mass moments, heroism, and commercial elements to the story was a major plus. The film boldly addresses how people exploit under the guise of "smart education." The director starts the movie on a commercial note with Rajinikanth's introduction and action against the drug mafia and takes the story into the core plot after Saranya's case. However, the slow pace of the narration and some predictable elements work against the film. But the scenes between Amitabh and Rajini are a highlight, adding intrigue. Rajini’s dialogues and the director’s handling of the star cast like Fahadh Faasil and Rana are impressive. The climax is also satisfactory.
Technical Aspects
In terms of technical aspects, every department performed well. The cinematography was excellent, giving the film a commercial look. Anirudh's background score, as always, excites the audience, and the fans are sure to enjoy it. The editing could have been a bit sharper. Lyca Productions did not compromise on the production quality.
