Keerthy Suresh is one of those actresses who prioritizes acting over beauty. Belonging to the Tamil industry, she has also gained significant popularity in Telugu films. Her role as Savitri in the movie 'Mahanati' was phenomenal, earning her a National Award. However, her film career has seen many interesting twists and turns. Today (October 17), on the occasion of Keerthy Suresh's birthday, let's look into some special aspects of her life.



As a Child Artist



The daughter of actors Suresh Kumar and Menaka, Keerthy Suresh sparkled as a child artist in the Malayalam film 'Pilots'. She also appeared as a child artist in the films 'Achaneyanenikkishtam' and 'Kuberan'.







Mother as Chiru’s Heroine.. Daughter as Sister



In Chiranjeevi's film 'Punnami Naagu', Keerthy's mother Menaka acted as the heroine. Recently, in the movie 'Bhola Shankar', Keerthy played the significant role of Chiranjeevi's sister. Despite the film not doing well, their performances as siblings were well-received. During the shoot in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi mentioned during movie promotions that he ensured home-cooked meals were sent to Keerthy throughout the filming.







Stalled Projects at the Beginning



Keerthy Suresh began her career as a heroine with the film 'Geethanjali', starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. However, even before this, she had signed three projects as a heroine, which had also started shooting. Unexpectedly, these three projects were halted midway, leading to great disappointment for her, as she mentioned in an interview.







Tagged as Iron Leg



Early in her career, the halting of three projects, and the failure of films like 'Geethanjali' and 'Ring Master' in Malayalam, and her first Tamil film 'Idhu Enna Maayam' being a disaster, Keerthy was tagged as an 'Iron Leg'. She faced significant trolling but ignored it and went on to succeed in films, establishing herself as a successful heroine.







Turning Point with Mahanati



Her first Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' was a success, which increased her opportunities in Tollywood and Kollywood. Despite being in commercial films, she felt unfulfilled as an actress until 'Mahanati' came along. Her portrayal of Savitri was critically acclaimed, earning her the National Award for Best Actress and becoming an inspiration to other actresses. Her career graph significantly rose after 'Mahanati'.







Series of Failures



Post-'Mahanati', it was believed that Keerthy's career would have no downturns, and she did receive a series of offers. However, subsequent films like 'Saamy Square', 'Pandem kodi 2', 'Rang De', and 'Annaatthe' failed to meet audience expectations. Her women-oriented films 'Penguin', 'Miss India', and 'Good Luck Sakhi' also failed to make an impact.







Director's Intent to Cast Keerthy



Following last year's release 'Dasara', which was a massive success, Keerthy made a strong comeback. Directed by Srikanth Odela with Nani as the hero, the film grossed over 100 crores and received widespread praise for Keerthy's performance. She excelled in the role of Vennela, a rural woman, and received awards like SIIMA and Filmfare for Best Actress. However, it was revealed during movie promotions that director Srikanth Odela initially planned to cast Keerthy as the heroine for 'Dasara' after narrating the movie story and suggested she gain 10-12 kilograms, which she couldn't. Nani mentioned that Odela decided to cast her despite her not being able to gain weight, highlighting that even though he was a debut director and she was a National Award-winning actress, they ended up becoming good friends on the movie sets.

Keerthy’s Special Talent



Not just her face, Keerthy Suresh's voice is also beautiful. Directors have capitalized on her melodious voice, having her sing beautifully the song 'Pudhu Metro Rail' in 'Saamy Square'. She also recently lent her voice to the character of Bujji Vehicle in 'Kalki 2898 AD' and proved her dancing skills with the 'Gandhaari' album.







This Year into Bollywood



Having already entertained this year with 'Siren' and 'Raghu Thatha', Keerthy is busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta', 'Kannivedi', and 'Uppu Kappurambu'. She is set to enter Bollywood with 'Baby John'. In an instance, she mentioned that the roles of Savitri (Mahanati), Vennela (Dasara), and Kalavathi (Sarkaru Vaari Paata) were challenging in her career.






From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema


Cast: Raj Tarun, Malvi Malhotra, Mannara Chopra, Ankita Thakur, Makarand Deshpande, Pragathi, Raja Ravindra, John Vijay, Prithvi, Tagubothu Ramesh, and others



Director: A.S. Ravi Kumar



Music: JB



Cinematography: Jawahar Reddy



Producer: Malkapuram Shiva Kumar



Release Date: August 2, 2024



Amid controversies, the new youth-centric film "Thiragabadara Saami," starring Raj Tarun and directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar, is released Today. Raj Tarun is joined by Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who play the lead roles. Other significant characters are portrayed by Makarand Deshpande, Raja Raveendra, and Pragathi. The film, however, has been embroiled in scandal, with Raj Tarun's ex-girlfriend Lavanya accusing him of infidelity and being romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Released on August 2, amidst these controversies, "Thiragabadara Saami" has generated significant interest. How did the film fare, and was it able to engage the audience? Let's explore in this review.







Plot



Giri (Raj Tarun) is a very timid person who is afraid of everything and generally unresponsive to his surroundings. In contrast, Shailaja (Malvi Malhotra) is bold and aggressive. She doesn't hesitate to fiercely deal with anyone who teases her. A romance develops between these two with very different personalities. But how does Giri cope with controlling Shailaja? What challenges do their love face? Why did the usually calm Giri have to fight back? What did he do to win his love? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.







Performances



Hero Raj Tarun has fully immersed himself in the role of Giri. Initially portrayed as an innocent, he later transforms into a lover who fights for his beloved against all odds, showing great variation in two dimensions. Particularly in action sequences, Raj excels, showcasing an intensity never seen before in his career. Malvi Malhotra perfectly embodies Shailaja, making a strong impression in her Telugu film debut. The on-screen chemistry between Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra works very well. Second heroine Mannara Chopra also delivers an outstanding performance. John Vijay, Raghubabu, Ankita Thakur, Pragathi, and Raja Raveendra do their roles effectively.







Direction



Director A.S. Ravi Kumar has crafted this film as a love and action entertainer. The first half smoothly progresses with the introduction of the hero and heroine and their love track, entertaining with comedy arising from Shailaja dominating Giri. Their chemistry ensures that the first half never drags. A twist at the interval heightens interest for the second half, which is filled with hero elevations and action sequences, keeping the audience engaged. However, some scenes might feel boring, and certain fight scenes seem over-the-top for Raj Tarun's persona, lacking logical connection. Emotional scenes also did not resonate as well. Those looking for a solid action entertainer will enjoy "Thiragabadara Saami."







Technically...



On the technical front, the background music provided by JB is a significant asset, elevating the action sequences to another level. However, the songs are not particularly memorable. The cinematography is also commendable, and the editing is adequate. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Raj Tarun's acting



- Love track



- Action sequences



Minus Points



- Non-effective emotional scenes



- Some boring scenes

Thiragabadara Saami Movie Review: A Tale of Love and Valor


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

'Satyam Sundaram' Movie Review: An Emotional Journey with Stellar Performances by Karthi and Aravind Swamy






Cast: Nikhil, Divyansha Kaushik, Satya, Ajay, Sai Ram Reddy, Rukmini Vasanth, Harsha Chemudu, and others



Writer, Director: Sudheer Varma



Music: Karthik



Cinematography: Richard Prasad



Editing: Naveen Nooli



Producer: B.V.S.N. Prasad



Release Date: November 8, 2024



The latest film ‘Appudo Ippudo Eppudo’ features young hero Nikhil, directed by Sudheer Varma, known for films like ‘Swamy Ra Ra’ and ‘Keshava.’ Produced by B.V.S.N. Prasad and presented by B. Bapineedu, Rukmini Vasanth plays the lead actress, with Divyansha Kaushik in a key role. The film hit theaters on November 8. How does it fare? Does it captivate the Telugu audience? Has it brought success to Nikhil? Let’s find out in this review.







Story



Rishi (Nikhil), from Hyderabad, is a carefree young man with little interest in his career. He falls for Tara (Rukmini Vasanth) at first sight. However, due to certain dramatic events, their love ends in a breakup. After the heartbreak, Rishi shifts his focus to his career and moves to London. There, he trains as a racer while taking up odd jobs for pocket money. During this time, he becomes close to Tulasi (Divyansha Kaushik) and even decides to marry her. But Tulasi suddenly goes missing. Meanwhile, Tara, the girl he once loved, unexpectedly shows up in London, and Rishi finds himself entangled with a local don, Badrinarayana (John Vijay). Who is Badrinarayana? What happened to Tulasi? Why did Tara come to London? To find out, you’ll have to watch the movie.







Performances



Hero Nikhil captivates as usual with his steady performance, entertaining the audience with his looks and comic timing, though there are no particularly striking moments in his role. Rukmini Vasanth impresses with her natural acting, skillfully expressing emotions and proving herself as a talented actress once again. Divyansha Kaushik shines in her role as Tulasi, a character with negative shades, and receives good marks for her looks and glamour. Comedian Harsha Chemudu’s timing brings laughs, while John Vijay and Ajay’s roles are average. Satya and Sudarshan add momentum to the storyline.







Direction



Director Sudheer Varma opted for a routine story for ‘Appudo Ippudo Eppudo’ but managed to infuse his mark through storytelling and screenplay. Notably, he introduces the story from the perspective of a third person (comedian Satya), which adds interest. However, the two love tracks between the hero and heroines feel tedious. The introduction of the hero and his first love track make the first half feel slow, while the second half is somewhat better. The director struggles with key scenes, and the twists reveal poorly. Nevertheless, he manages to keep the film afloat to some extent with the comedy of Harsha Chemudu, Satya, and Sudarshan. The film lacks commercial appeal, and weak action sequences are additional drawbacks.







Technically



In terms of technical work, Richard Prasad’s cinematography is good, while Karthik’s songs are average. The background score is passable, editing is adequate, and the production values match the story well.

Netflix to Disney+: 10 New OTT Releases This Weekend - Kriti's Double Role, Karthi's Family Drama, and a Korean Romance!


Ananya Nagalla is one of the few Telugu actresses in Tollywood. She made her debut as a heroine with the movie "Mallesham" and has since been captivating Telugu audiences with her performances in a string of films, both as a main heroine and as a character artist. Her latest movie, "Pottel," is set to release soon. In light of this, the makers held a trailer launch event, which Ananya attended. After the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya faced an unexpected question, and her striking response has gone viral online.



What happened?



At the trailer launch event of her latest movie "Pottel" in Hyderabad, the trailer was released by the well-known actress Samyuktha Menon. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya about the casting couch. "They ask for commitment before giving a movie chance to a heroine or an artist, right? What do you say about this? Have you ever faced it?" Ananya responded, "How can you say for sure that they ask for commitment? There’s nothing like that." The reporter continued, "But isn’t the commitment included in the signed agreement? That's what your industry friends told me." Ananya replied, "That’s 100% wrong. I have never faced such a thing. It doesn’t exist."




https://twitter.com/tfpcin/status/1847262295266865248




You See Only the Negative: Ananya



Ananya remarked that just like in life, there are both negative and positive aspects in the industry. She criticized the reporter for focusing only on the negative, calling the notion that opportunities are given in exchange for commitments "bullshit." The reporter added, "The industry people say there is one rate if you give a commitment, and another if you don’t." Ananya responded, "You’re saying this without any experience, but I am speaking from experience. There is no such commitment here." The video of this exchange is currently going viral online.







Producer of Mallesham Fires Back at Reporter



Netizens are upset over the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya. With the video going viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Sidda Reddy also responded, criticizing the reporter’s inappropriate question and posted a lengthy post about the precautions taken for Ananya’s safety during the shooting of "Mallesham." He condemned the reporter’s actions, saying it was completely unnecessary in a movie promotion event and praised Ananya for her apt response. Ananya thanked Venkat Sidda Reddy for his support in this matter.

OTT Telugu Movies: Check Out the New Releases for You This Weekend!


Raj Tarun is a popular young actor in Tollywood. He initially rose to fame with his debut film 'Uyyala Jampala' and gained a considerable fan base with movies like 'Cinema Choopista Mava' and 'Kumari 21F'. However, his career later suffered due to a series of poor script choices, resulting in several flops. Recently, Raj Tarun's girlfriend leveled serious accusations against him, alleging deceit and officially filing a police complaint. In response, Raj Tarun issued a strong rebuttal, making this issue a hot topic in Tollywood.



Affair with Actress



A young woman named Lavanya filed a complaint against actor Raj Tarun at the Narsingi Police Station in Hyderabad, accusing him of infidelity. She claimed that since starting their relationship in 2012, Raj Tarun had grown close to another actress during the filming of 'Thiragabadara Saami'. According to Lavanya, their relationship persisted beyond that period, and Raj Tarun verbally abused her when she confronted him. She also mentioned that she was wrongfully detained for 43 days in a drug case that did not involve her. The Narsingi police have confirmed receipt of her complaint and are investigating. Rumors are circulating that the actress Raj Tarun allegedly became involved with Malvika Malhotra, who was the lead actress in 'Thiragabadara Saami'.

It's not true: Raj Tarun



Actor Raj Tarun addressed the accusations made by his ex-girlfriend Lavanya in an interview with a media channel. He explained, "I met her while I was involved in making short films. She was kind and offered me help when I first moved to Hyderabad. We were indeed in a relationship from 2014 to 2017, but after that, we ended our relationship. I had issues with her circle of friends and her drug use. She threatened to take her story to the media if I broke up with her, so I continued to support her to protect my reputation. Now, she is blaming me for her involvement in a drug case," he emphatically clarified.

She was with another guy in my own house'



Raj Tarun leveled serious allegations against his ex-girlfriend Lavanya, claiming that during their relationship, she was involved with another man. "She maintained a relationship with another guy who she sued him for assaulting her daily. After I moved out, she lived with him in my house for some time. She even blackmailed her own father. We were never married, and it's widely known in the industry that I have no plans to marry. She is aware of this as well. Despite living in Hyderabad while she lives in Mumbai, she accuses me of cohabiting with an actress from Mumbai. How is that possible? She's fabricating these stories because she fears I will evict her from the house," Raj Tarun stated.


I was in the same house with her for 3 years says Raj Tarun in response to affair allegations.

It is well known that Samantha struggled with myositis, a rare disease, for over a year, which also led her into severe depression. During her recovery, she traveled domestically and internationally with friends to find some relief from her pain. Observing the physical changes caused by myositis, Samantha decided to focus entirely on her health and stayed away from films for a year. She made a comeback with the film "Kushi" alongside Vijay Deverakonda and also starred in "Shaakuntalam." However, as both films did not perform well at the box office, Samantha is now pinning her hopes on the success of the "Citadel" series.

Stunning Telugu Heroines Tattoos: A Look at the Inked Beauties of Tollywood and Beyond


Telugu actress Ananya Nagalla stars in the latest movie "Pottel," set to release across the two Telugu states on October 25th. Amidst ongoing promotions, Ananya has been quite busy. Recently, after the trailer launch, a press meet was held where Ananya had a bitter experience. A question raised by a journalist about commitments in the industry turned into a hot topic both in Tollywood and on social media. Ananya addressed this issue again and thanked pan-India director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for standing by their team.



Praises for Sandeep by Ananya



The movie "Pottel," which stars Yuvachandra Krishna and Ananya Nagalla and is directed by Sahith Mothkuri, is set to hit the screens in three days. A pre-release event was recently held by the makers, where Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for directing films like "Arjun Reddy," "Kabir Singh," and "Animal," attended as the chief guest. Ananya spoke at the event, expressing gratitude for his presence at the promotions of "Pottel," not once but twice, and praised him for his support in elevating a small film to a bigger stage.

After "Rangasthalam," "Pottel" Is It: Sandeep Reddy



Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, as the chief guest, spoke about the film. He mentioned that director Sahith one day told him about the small story he was filming. Upon hearing it, Sandeep felt it wasn't just a small story but a significant one. He had already seen the movie and liked it a lot, saying it was more than he had imagined and that the audience would definitely enjoy it. He praised it as the first full-scale village backdrop film he had seen since "Rangasthalam" and urged everyone to support small films.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1848595831508652364




Decency in Questions: Ananya



At the "Pottel" pre-release event, Ananya Nagalla made some more intriguing comments. She revisited the journalist's question about commitment, mocking its appropriateness. "After going home, I thought about how one could ask such a direct question on a sensitive topic. It made me realize, if one had decency, such questions wouldn't be asked. My dream has always been to earn recognition as an actress, which I have been fighting for at home for five years. After seeing 'Pottel,' everyone at my home will feel proud. The question on commitment spoiled the joy. Now everyone will think I succeeded because I committed, but it’s not true. Just because actresses wear makeup and smile doesn't mean they don't have a heart or a family. Please respect us," Ananya requested.







What Really Happened?



The trailer launch event for the movie "Pottel" recently took place in Hyderabad, with prominent actress Samyuktha Menon releasing the trailer. During the subsequent press meet, a female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla about the casting couch, asking, "Before giving a movie chance to an actress or artist, do you ask for commitments? Have you ever faced this?" Ananya responded, "How can you be so sure that commitments are asked? There's nothing like that." The reporter continued, "But your industry friends said commitments are part of the signing agreements." Ananya clarified, "That's 100% wrong. I have never faced such a situation. It doesn't exist."

Producer of "Mallesham" Fires at Reporter



Netizens criticized the manner in which the female reporter questioned Ananya Nagalla, and as the video went viral, "Mallesham" producer Venkat Siddareddy also responded. He posted a lengthy post on X, criticizing the reporter's inappropriate question during a movie promotion. He mentioned the precautions taken for Ananya's safety during the shooting of "Mallesham" and condemned the harsh nature of the reporter's question, praising Ananya for her fitting response. Ananya thanked Venkat Siddareddy for his support in this matter.
