![Prabhas New Movie: Exciting Update... Another Film Replaces 'Spirit'!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/20155520/Prabhas-12.jpg)
Prabhas New Movie: Exciting Update... Another Film Replaces 'Spirit'!
Following the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', Prabhas' popularity has reached new heights. There is growing anticipation nationwide for his upcoming projects. Prabhas is currently collaborating with director Maruthi on a film titled 'Raja Saab' and is also expected to appear in the sequel to 'Kalki', directed by Nag Ashwin. Additionally, renowned directors Prashanth Neel and Sandeep Reddy Vanga are lined up for future collaborations with him. It was widely expected that Sandeep Reddy Vanga's project would be Prabhas' next film to start production. However, recent buzz in Tollywood indicates that Prabhas may greenlight a different film instead. Let’s explore the details.
Director Preference!
Fans and others were expecting Prabhas to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga after the success of 'Kalki 2898 AD'. However, it appears that director Hanu Raghavapudi, known for 'Sita Ramam', has stepped in instead. Prabhas had previously committed to a project with Hanu Raghavapudi, now reportedly titled 'Fauji'. Given the extensive pre-production required for 'Spirit', Prabhas has opted to proceed with 'Fauji', sparking significant buzz in the industry. Director Hanu Raghavapudi is making preparations to begin shooting in October.
Prabhas as a Soldier!
The upcoming film 'Fauji' with Hanu Raghavapudi is set to be a period drama, unfolding against a 1940s British era backdrop. Mrunal Thakur is likely to appear as the heroine opposite Prabhas. 'Fauji' meaning soldier, Prabhas is expected to portray a military officer, stirring significant excitement among fans. The film is set to be produced on a grand scale by Mythri Movie Makers, with Vishal Chandrashekhar providing the music. Official updates related to this movie are expected soon.
Raja Saab's Big Plan!
Prabhas is collaborating with director Maruthi on the upcoming film 'Raja Saab'. An exciting development has recently emerged regarding the movie. Director Maruthi is considering remixing a classic hit song for the film, which interestingly is not a Telugu song but a superhit Hindi song from the 1980s. The music director, Thaman, is currently in discussions with the filmmakers, who are considering three songs, with one expected to be finalized soon. The iconic Bollywood song 'O Khaike Paan Banaras Wala' might be remade, generating significant buzz in cinema circles.
I'll Show My Best Work
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his bold and daring directing style, is currently immersed in pre-production for 'Spirit'. With Prabhas confirmed in the lead role, casting for other parts is still underway. Recently, Sandeep shared insights about what to expect from 'Spirit', sparking significant interest online. He stated, "Some say 'Animal' is my best work. You'll see my best in 'Spirit'," raising anticipation among fans. Many are already predicting that 'Spirit' will eclipse the success of Sandeep's previous hits like 'Arjun Reddy', 'Kabir Singh', and 'Animal'. Social media is abuzz with predictions of another blockbuster for Prabhas, potentially earning up to Rs. 1000 crores.
Prabhas as a Powerful Police Officer
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has plans to uniquely craft 'Spirit', not focusing on affluent family dramas like in 'Arjun Reddy' or 'Animal', but setting it against a middle-class backdrop. Past comments by Sandeep suggest that Prabhas will play a powerful police officer, an avatar never seen before. His characterization and mannerisms are expected to bring something fresh to the screen. The script for 'Spirit' is nearing its final stages, with filming likely to commence around October or November, as buzzed in film circles.

Darling Movie Review:A Whirlwind of Romance and Laughter with a Twist of Complexity
Cast: Priyadarshi, Nabha Natesh, Brahmanandam, Vishnu, Krishna Teja, Ananya Nagalla, Muralidhar Goud, among others.
Written and Directed by: Aswin Ram
Music by: Vivek Sagar
Cinematography: Naresh Ramadurai
Dialogues by: Hemanth
Producers: K. Niranjan Reddy, Chaitanya Reddy
Release Date: July 19, 2024
The unique romantic comedy entertainer 'Darling' starring Priyadarshi and Nabha Natesh, and directed by Aswin Ram, has already captivated audiences with its promotional material. Produced under the banner of PrimeShow Entertainment by K. Niranjan Reddy and Mrs. Chaitanya Reddy, the film released worldwide on July 19th..
Plot
Since childhood, Raghav (Priyadarsi) has dreamed of marriage and a honeymoon. Working as an agent in a travel agency, he finally seems poised to realize this dream when he becomes engaged to Nandini (Ananya Nagalla), a psychologist chosen by his father (Muralidhar Goud). However, his plans unravel when Nandini leaves him at the altar for another man. Heartbroken and on the brink of despair, Raghav's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Anandi (Nabha Natesh). The two quickly fall in love and marry, but on their wedding night, Raghav discovers that Anandi has multiple personality disorder, hosting five distinct personalities: Aadi, Maya, Jhansi, Papa, and Srisri. The unfolding challenges Raghav faces with Anandi’s complex condition promise a story filled with intrigue and emotion. To uncover the full story, one must head to the theaters.
Performance
Priyadarsi, once again, charms as Raghav, fitting perfectly into his role with his distinctive comedic timing, delighting the audience. Nabha Natesh excels in a challenging role with various facets, carrying the film on her shoulders with a career-best performance. She brilliantly displays the variations of her split personalities. The funny scenes between Nabha Natesh and Priyadarsi are engaging, though the dubbing for Nabha Natesh's role could have been better. Supporting actors like Ananya Nagalla and Muralidhar Goud play their parts within limits. Guest appearances by Suhas, Brahmanandam, and Niharika Konidela also shine.
Direction
Director Aswin Ram attempts to present the complex concept of multiple personality disorder in a humorous light. The first half is swiftly paced with sequences of wedding preparations, a halted marriage, a suicide attempt, and the quick marriage to Anandi all unfolding in an entertaining manner. While the first half thrills and amuses the audience, the story seems to dull down in the second half. The backstory of the heroine and the repetitive narrative might bore the audience. The climax is particularly confusing. Despite the innovation, director Aswin Ram struggles to keep the film engaging throughout.
Technically
On the technical front, the cinematography is a major plus for the film, providing fresh visuals. Vivek Sagar’s music, however, does not make a significant impact. The editing could have been tighter. The production values are high, with no compromises on the budget.

- Performances by Priyadarsi and Nabha Natesh

![Jai Hanuman: Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Jai Hanuman'?](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/25170157/123.-2024-07-25T163931.541.jpg)
Jai Hanuman: Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Jai Hanuman'?
Teja Sajja and director Prashanth Varma's film 'Hanuman' has captivated audiences nationwide. Released across India in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, it quickly became a blockbuster hit. This Sankranthi, 'Hanuman' not only held its own against major films but also shattered box office records, generating significant profits for its producers. The success of the film has naturally led to heightened expectations for its sequel. Recently, buzz has emerged around 'Hanuman 2', with rumors circulating in Tollywood that Megastar Chiranjeevi may join this highly anticipated project.
Contacts with the Megastar!
As hinted in the climax of the first part, 'Hanuman' will have a sequel. The script work for this movie is nearly complete. It is understood that director Prashanth Varma wishes to cast Megastar Chiranjeevi for the role of Hanuman, believing that only he can do justice to the character given its importance in the sequel. Alternatively, there are strong efforts to cast Ram Charan for the same role. As per sources efforts have started, strengthening the buzz that either Chiranjeevi or Ram Charan might be enacting as Hanuman. Producer Chaitanya Reddy's recent comments have further fueled this speculation, suggesting that if either Chiru or Charan agrees, expectations for 'Hanuman 2' will sky-rocket.
Will 'Jai Hanuman' Take Time to Start?
It appears that 'Jai Hanuman' might take more time to kick off. Director Prashanth Varma is recently reported to be starting a film with Nandamuri Balakrishna's son, Mokshagna Teja. Mokshagna, who was on the heavier side, has recently slimmed down and undergone a handsome makeover, sparking rumors that their film will soon go on floors. Given this, it's likely that Prashanth Varma will focus on 'Jai Hanuman' after completing his project with Mokshagna. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi is busy shooting 'Vishwambhara' aimed for a Sankranthi release. On the other hand, Ram Charan is acting in 'Game Changer' and has also given a green signal to star in a film directed by 'Uppena' fame Buchi Babu. This may further delay the shooting for 'Jai Hanuman'.
Mokshagna's Video Goes Viral
There have long been rumors about Nandamuri Balakrishna's son Mokshagna entering the film industry. Balakrishna has mentioned at several movie events that his son will join the film industry. Previously, there were negative comments about Mokshagna not being suitable for a hero. However, recent stylish photos of Mokshagna have surprised fans and netizens. A recent video of a photoshoot featuring Mokshagna in a yellow shirt has gone viral. The video has been extensively shared by Nandamuri fans, making it a trending topic online.

![Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/20172655/Untitled-design-2024-07-20T135724.293.jpg)
Harom Hara OTT: Sudheer Babu's Film Storming on OTT, Ranked Number One Nationally
Directed by Gyanasagar and starring Sudheer Babu, the latest film 'Harom Hara' is an action thriller. Malavika Sharma features opposite Sudheer Babu, and Sunil plays a pivotal role. Released to audiences on June 14, the film garnered positive feedback in theaters but failed to achieve significant commercial success, earning only moderate box office returns. Recently, it was released on OTT platforms and is now trending nationally at the number one spot.
Trending at the Top
'Harom Hara' has recently streamed on three OTT platforms: ETV Win, Aha, and Amazon Prime Video. It is gaining special popularity on these platforms, achieving impressive viewership. Amazon announced that 'Harom Hara' had reached the top position nationally and released a special poster in celebration. The film has outperformed several Bollywood films to secure this top spot.
https://twitter.com/telugubit/status/1814512633242132650
The Reasons for Its Popularity!
In 'Harom Hara,' Sudheer Babu appears as Subrahmanyam, delivering one of the top mass roles of his career. His character receives significant elevations in the second half, reminiscent of films like 'Pushpa' and 'KGF.' Transforming into a mini gangster in Kuppan and manufacturing guns using his mechanical skills, Subrahmanyam's rise to power captivates the audience. The intense action sequence that opens the second half could be considered the best scene of Sudheer Babu’s career. The climax, where Sudheer Babu single-handedly takes on hundreds of rowdies with powerful weapons, is particularly thrilling. If some dragging scenes had been trimmed and the love track between the hero and heroine better developed, the film might have received even better reception in theaters. Overall, the film team is very pleased with its performance on OTT.
Director Deserves Praise!
Director Gyanasagar Dwaraka has skillfully navigated a routine story, managing to impress with his storytelling. He introduces the point he wants to convey directly, integrating stunning action sequences into the narrative. The first half primarily focuses on character introductions, leading up to a twist before the interval that pulls the audience into the main story. The story picks up pace from the second half, though it becomes somewhat predictable, which slightly detracts from its impact. Overall, for fans of action movies, 'Harom Hara' offers a substantial treat.
The Story
In the 1980s, in the border area of Kuppam which connects Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, Thammireddy and his family, including his brother Basava and son Sharath Reddy, ruled the area harshly, creating chaos and injustice. Subrahmanyam (Sudheer Babu) arrives in this tough environment and starts working as a mechanical lab assistant at a local college. However, he quickly runs into trouble with Sharath Reddy, leading to his suspension. With financial pressures mounting, Subrahmanyam uses his mechanical skills to start making guns illegally. Although he initially conflicts with Sharath Reddy, they eventually join forces to continue the gun-making business. Eventually, Subrahmanyam challenges Thammireddy’s authority. What follows? How does Subrahmanyam impact the lives of the people in Kuppam? Why do the locals start to view him as a hero, almost like a god? How does he stand up to Thammireddy? These questions shape the story.

Police officer Kumar (Sundeep Kishan) steps in, and during his investigation, sensational discoveries come to light. Is a scientist behind all this? Who is this scientist? Why is he committing murders? What experiment has he conducted? How does Kumar solve the case? That is the story.
OTT Platform: Aha
Prasanna Vadanam
Suhas's recent film, 'Prasanna Vadanam,' can be described as an experimental movie. In it, the hero suffers from face blindness (prosopagnosia), unable to recognize faces or voices. Key roles are played by Payal Radhakrishna, Raashi Singh, Nandu, and Viva Harsha. The movie's plot revolves around Surya, who works as a radio jockey, has his life turned upside down by an accident that leaves him with face blindness.

The Malayalam film industry is known for its experimental projects. Mammootty stars in 'Bramayugam,' also crafted with a unique concept and shot in black and white format even in the digital era. The story revolves around three characters. Thevan, a singer, travels through a forest and comes across an abandoned mansion. The mansion is inhabited only by the owner, Mammootty (Kudumon Potti), and a cook. After a series of dramatic events, Thevan decides to flee the mansion. Why did Thevan want to escape?

Mirzapur has achieved significant success as an OTT crime thriller series. The first season premiered in 2018, with a second season following in 2020. Both seasons surpassed expectations with their bold content and engaging dialogues, capturing the attention of the youth and setting high expectations for a third season. The much-anticipated third season, 'Mirzapur Season 3,' is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime. This season includes 10 episodes and is available in Hindi, Telugu, and several other South Indian languages. Did this season meet the high expectations?
What Happened in the Previous Seasons?
In the first season of Mirzapur, Guddu Bhaiya (Ali Fazal) and Bablu Pandit (Vikrant Massey) worked for Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi). The season ended tragically with Guddu losing his brother and close ones to Munna, Kaleen Bhaiya's son. In the second season, Guddu avenges their deaths by killing Munna and attacking Kaleen, who manages to escape. Season 2 concludes right where Season 3 begins.
What’s the Story in Mirzapur Season 3?
In Mirzapur Season 3, Guddu Bhaiya emerges as the new don of Mirzapur with the support of Beena Tripathi (Rasika Dugal) and his sister, Golu (Shweta Tripathi). Sharad Shukla and Shatrughan, who had saved Kaleen Bhaiya in the previous season, also aim for the throne of Mirzapur, leading to a conflict between Sharad and Guddu. Meanwhile, Munna's widow, CM Madhuri (Isha Talwar), joins forces with Sharad to weaken Guddu. On the other hand, Kaleen Bhaiya makes an unexpected return to the fray for Mirzapur’s throne. How did Guddu handle these dire situations? Did Guddu succeed even after shooting Kaleen? Did CM Madhuri achieve her goal of overthrowing the throne of Mirzapur? Watch Season 3 to find out.
Performance Reviews
Ali Fazal delivers a compelling performance as Guddu Bhaiya, carrying the season on his shoulders. Shweta Tripathi, as Golu, does not disappoint, enhancing her role from the previous seasons. Rasika Dugal breathes life once again into the character of Beena Tripathi. Isha Talwar impresses as the CM, following closely after Fazal and Vijay Varma in capturing the audience's attention. Pankaj Tripathi, although appearing in fewer scenes, leaves a mark with his signature acting style. The rest of the cast justly fulfills their roles.
Directional Insights
Compared to previous seasons, this installment showcases more political drama. The directors have skillfully crafted the series with intense and thrilling action-packed episodes. The strategic moves in the battle for Mirzapur are intriguingly presented, with engaging twists and suspenseful factors. However, the typical violence associated with the Mirzapur series is noticeably toned down this season. The absence of Munna's character and the reduced scope for Kaleen Bhaiya's role are significant drawbacks. Additionally, with episodes lasting 45-50 minutes, some may feel the series drags at times. The lack of bold dialogues, a draw for the youth in previous seasons, might disappoint some viewers. A lack of curiosity about what comes next also marks a failure on the directors’ part. Without expectations, Mirzapur Season 3 is engaging, but it might seem lackluster compared to previous seasons.
Technically…
Technically, all departments have performed well. The background music, in particular, stands out, adding depth to the scenes. The cinematography is decent, though the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high.
Plus Points
- Strong performances from the main cast
- Political drama filled with twists
- Engaging background music
Minus Points
- Lack of anticipated action scenes
- Dragging scenes
- Absence of bold dialogues that previously attracted the youth
