Xiaomi 14 Series: Get Ready... The Most Wanted Mobile is Coming..!


Prabhas continues to reign as the king of the Indian box office, standing tall in collections where no other Indian star can reach. Whenever a Prabhas film is scheduled, other heroes tend not to release their films around the same time. They show interest in releasing their movies either a month before or after Prabhas’s release. Now, a Tamil star hero is gearing up to face off with Prabhas at the box office with his upcoming film, "The Raja Saab". Let’s delve into the details.



Prabhas vs Dhanush



After blockbusters like "Salaar" and "Kalki 2898 AD", Prabhas is returning with "The Raja Saab" directed by Maruthi, set to premiere on April 10, 2025. This marks Prabhas's first foray into horror-comedy, setting high expectations for "The Raja Saab". Meanwhile, Tamil star Dhanush is ready to take on Prabhas (Prabhas vs Dhanush) by releasing his latest film "Idli Kadai" on the same day, April 10 next year, as officially announced by the makers. This sets the stage for a major box office showdown.







Why That Particular Day?



Dhanush himself directs his film "Idli Kadai" (Idli Shop), starring Nithya Menen. Produced under the banners of Don Pictures and Wonder Bar Films by Akash Bhaskaran, the film features key roles by Prakash Raj and Shalini Pandey. Despite Prabhas's presence in the fray, Dhanush has strong reasons to release "Idli Kadai" on April 10. For Tamil audiences, April is significant just like Ugadi for Telugu people; Tamil New Year falls on April 14 next year, coinciding with a long weekend, making April 10 a strategic choice for release. There is no backing down from releasing both "The Raja Saab" and Dhanush's film on that day, and only time will tell who will come out on top.




https://twitter.com/dhanushkraja/status/1854758303399919813




A Potential Setback for Prabhas in Tamil Nadu!



Dhanush has a significant following not only in Tamil but also in Telugu and Hindi cinema. Although Prabhas has a broader market reach, "The Raja Saab" might not face much competition from "Idli Kadai" on a pan-India level. However, Dhanush enjoys a robust market in Tamil Nadu where fans adore him, potentially impacting "The Raja Saab"’s performance there significantly.







More Than a Half-Dozen Pan-India Projects!



Prabhas currently has over half a dozen pan-India projects in hand. Alongside "Raja Saab", he is set to work in "Spirit" with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, "Kalki 2" directed by Nag Ashwin, "Salaar 2" with Prashanth Neel, and "Fouji" with Hanu Raghavapudi. He is also slated for a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s dream project "Kannappa" and has shown interest in a new film with "Hanuman" fame Prashant Varma, whose story Prabhas liked. Moreover, there is buzz about upcoming projects with Tamil star director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s popular filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. Prabhas is undoubtedly surging forward in his career with these continuous projects.

In Tollywood, young heroes such as Nani and Daggubati Rana are highly popular among both youth and family audiences, thanks to their distinctive acting styles across various genres. Off-screen, Nani and Rana are known to be good friends. But what if these beloved actors were to become adversaries on screen? The idea of them challenging each other in a film is quite thrilling. This concept is no longer just imagination; it's set to become a reality. There is a strong buzz that they will star as hero and villain in an upcoming crime thriller. Let's explore what makes this so special.



In the Hit 3 movie...



The "Hit" series in Tollywood, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, including "Hit: The First Case" and "Hit 2: The Second Case," has been very successful. These films have significantly boosted the careers of actors Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh. Following this series, the ending of the second part has already set Nani up as the hero for the upcoming part 3. Movie lovers have been eagerly awaiting the start of "Hit 3." 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..!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



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.

The upcoming film "Pushpa 2," starring Allu Arjun, is buzzing nationwide. Directed by Sukumar, the film is almost ready to hit theaters, with a grand release scheduled for December 5th. The shooting is nearly complete, except for two songs and one scene, raising concerns among fans about whether the film will release on the announced date. Amid these developments, an unexpected twist in the film's production has emerged: Thaman has been brought in to replace Devi Sri Prasad as the music director, which has been a hot topic of discussion.



Thaman Joins Pushpa 2 Team



It is well-known that star music director Devi Sri Prasad was scoring the music for "Pushpa 2" after his tracks for the first part created a nationwide sensation. Recently released songs from the film have already captured the youth's attention. However, rumors are now circulating online that Devi Sri Prasad has been set aside and Thaman has taken over the responsibility for the film's background music.







Dissatisfaction from Sukumar



Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have had a strong rapport, with Devi providing music for all of Sukumar’s past films, which featured hit albums. Sukumar had entrusted Devi Sri Prasad with the music responsibilities for "Pushpa 2" as well, and while he was satisfied with the songs, he was reportedly not happy with the background music. With just 29 days left until the film's release, and Devi Sri having his hands full, Sukumar decided to bring in Thaman to handle the BGM. Discussions with Thaman have reportedly taken place, and he has already presented some background scores to Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this change is expected soon.







Why Thaman?



Music director S.S. Thaman is renowned not only for his compelling songs but also for his exceptional background scores. Recently, his BGMs have been making waves, with notable contributions to films like "Akhanda," "Veera Simha Reddy," "Vakeel Saab," "Bhagavanth Kesari," "Guntur Kaaram," "Bro," and "Skanda." Thaman, already having worked with Allu Arjun in blockbuster films such as "Sarrainodu" and "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," knows exactly what kind of musical elevations suit Allu Arjun’s films to make theaters erupt. Hence, there is a strong belief among fans that if Thaman provides the background music for "Pushpa 2," it will be phenomenal.







Another Music Director in Consideration?



Alongside Thaman, another music director, Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on films like "Kantara" and "Mangalavaaram," is also being considered for "Pushpa 2." Rumors suggest that Thaman might handle the first part and Ajaneesh the second, indicating that up to three directors might work on the film. However, industry insiders strongly believe that Thaman will be the sole provider of the background music, although clarity will only emerge with an official announcement.







A Rare Feat for Pushpa 2



"Pushpa 2" marks a significant achievement as Allu Arjun, previously known primarily to the Telugu audience, garnered a global fan base following the success of "Pushpa" (2021). With the film achieving pan-India and overseas success, "Pushpa 2" has generated substantial hype among international audiences. Pre-sale bookings have recently opened overseas, and the first 15,000 tickets sold out in record time—a first for an Indian film in America. The "Pushpa" team has released a special poster to announce this milestone.

Mokshagna, who previously appeared a bit chubby, has recently transformed into a slim and heroic look. Director Prasanth Varma of 'Hanu-Man' fame is set to introduce him to the Telugu audience. In this context, a news piece related to Mokshagna Teja's movie is making rounds in the industry, bringing immense joy to Nandamuri fans. Let's delve into those details.



Amitabh in a Special Role!



Balakrishna has entrusted the responsibility of introducing his son Mokshagna to the industry to young director Prasanth Varma. Gaining nationwide recognition with 'Hanu-Man,' Prasanth Varma is planning meticulously to introduce the Nandamuri heir on a grand scale. It is reported that he has already prepared a pan-India story. In this scenario, Prasanth Varma is considering bringing Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan onboard for a crucial role. The director believes that only Big B can do complete justice to this character and is expected to approach him soon regarding the same.







Prasanth Varma's Big Plan!



Sources suggest that director Prasanth Varma plans to make a grand entry into Bollywood by casting Amitabh in Mokshagna's film. He believes that having such a legendary actor in the movie will also benefit Mokshagna.

Strong speculations indicate that the Nandamuri heir will be seen in the role of Abhimanyu. It is also said that several prominent actors will be part of the cast. An official announcement regarding these details is expected soon.







Big B Said No to Balayya!



In the past, director Krishna Vamsi planned a movie with the combination of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Amitabh Bachchan. Reports at that time suggested that Big B politely declined when approached for the project, leading to its shelving. With this history, there is curiosity about whether Amitabh, who once said no to Balayya, will act in his son's debut film.

However, Balayya chose young director Prasanth Varma for his son's debut, and there seems to be a strong reason behind this decision. Prasanth Varma's name resonated across the country with 'Hanu-Man,' showcasing his talent to all. Having experience working with young heroes like Teja Sajja, Balayya believes that Prasanth can present Mokshagna effectively. Moreover, their personal rapport might have influenced Balayya's decision to favor Prasanth Varma.

It is well known that Tollywood actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and star heroine Samantha got married in 2017 and separated in 2021 due to disagreements. Three years later, Naga Chaitanya is ready to remarry, this time to actress Sobhita Dhulipala.

In 2021, during her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha was heavily targeted by the public. However, now that Chaitanya is preparing for his second marriage, netizens are expressing their sympathy towards Samantha on a large scale, comparing her situation with that of Savitri, who was a celebrated actress. At the peak of her cinema career, Savitri’s life was influenced by the already married actor Gemini Ganesan. By that time, Ganesan’s career was moderate compared to Savitri’s. Savitri, deeply in love, married Ganesan but later found him intimately involved with another woman. Unable to bear the betrayal, she fell into depression and became dependent on alcohol, which led to numerous health issues and prematurely ended her career. Netizens speculate that Samantha might have undergone a similar ordeal? They suggest that these struggles drove Samantha to divorce Chaitanya.
