Tollywood 2024: Blockbusters and Budget Surprises, From 'Kalki 2898 AD' to 'HanuMan'
The year 2024 has been extremely fruitful for Tollywood. This year's highest-grossing film was Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Released as a festive treat for Sankranti, the movie 'Hanuman' also showcased its strength at the national box office with impressive collections. However, these two films were made with massive budgets. In contrast, lower-budget films like 'Tillu Square,' 'Committee Kurrollu,' and 'Aay' also stood on par in terms of collections with those two films, achieving nearly triple the return on investment. These films have been noted for the significant difference between their budget and collections, ranking among the top 5 Telugu films. Let's examine these details in this special report.
Committee Kurrollu
Niharika Konidela's debut production, 'Committee Kurrollu,' featured eleven new heroes and was released on August 10, garnering positive reviews. It raked in Rs. 17.60 crores worldwide on a budget of just Rs. 6 crores. The film achieved three times the return relative to its budget, earning accolades from critics. 'Committee Kurrollu' is currently streaming on ETV Win, where it continues to receive a favorable response from OTT platforms.
Aay
The recent film 'Aay,' starring Narne Nithiin and Nayan Sarika, directed by Anji K. Maniputra, was released on August 15 and captured a hit status. It outperformed star-studded films like 'Mr. Bachchan' and 'Double iSmart' in collections, amassing a total of Rs. 14.10 crores. The production costs were reported to be between Rs. 6-8 crores. Including OTT rights, 'Aay' managed to earn nearly three times its expenses.
Kalki 2898 AD
Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Rebel Star Prabhas, 'Kalki 2898 AD' has shaken the Indian box office, grossing over Rs. 1200-1300 crores worldwide. Made in a mythological and futuristic genre, the film was produced with an approximate budget of Rs. 600 crores but earned more than double its cost, receiving widespread acclaim. Pan India star Prabhas once again proved his mettle at the box office. The film also featured stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone, with special cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, S.S. Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma.
Tillu Square
Starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran, 'Tillu Square' released in March this year and made a splash at the box office, collecting over Rs. 135 crores globally. Produced by prominent producer Nagadevara Suryavanshi with a budget of around Rs. 40 crores, the film achieved more than three times its budget. This movie marked Siddhu Jonnalagadda's first entry into the Rs. 100 crore club.
HanuMan
Directed by talented filmmaker Prasanth Varma and starring Teja Sajja, 'HanuMan' captured nationwide attention. Released as a Sankranti gift this year, the film unexpectedly grossed over Rs. 350 crores on a modest budget of Rs. 40 crores, nearly nine times its production cost, astonishing everyone. This success elevated Prashant Varma to a star director status. Following 'HanuMan,' Varma announced a new project with Nandamuri Balakrishna's son Mokshagna Teja, which is soon to commence shooting. He is also focusing on the sequel 'Jai Hanuman.'

Megastar Birthday Special: Exciting Update from Vishwambhara, A Festival for Fans
Megastar Chiranjeevi is teaming up with director Mallidi Vasishta for the latest film 'Vishwambhara.' In this film, the prominent actress Trisha will be starring opposite Chiranjeevi. The movie is set to be released as a Sankranti gift in 2025. Both mega fans and Chiranjeevi himself are eagerly waiting for this film, hoping it will bring success after the disaster of his previous movie 'Bhola Shankar.' Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi's birthday is on August 22, and it seems the 'Vishwambhara' team has decided to give fans an extraordinary treat on that day. There is strong buzz that preparations for this are already underway.
Grand Treat Loading..!
Everyone knows how grandly mega fans celebrate Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday. They put up flex banners, cut cakes, and organize service activities like annadanam (food distribution) and blood donation. They also flood social media with photos and videos, reminiscing about Chiranjeevi's greatness. To add more excitement to the already joyous mega fans, the 'Vishwambhara' team is planning a special treat. The team has reportedly decided to release a special glimpse of the film on Chiranjeevi's birthday. It's also rumored that work on this glimpse/teaser has already begun and that final touches are currently being made. The 'Vishwambhara' team is planning to showcase this glimpse during the re-release of the 'Indra' movie in 4K version in theaters. If this happens, it will undoubtedly be a delight for Chiranjeevi's fans.

‘Indra’ Re-Release Records
This year's celebration of Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday is set to be even more special. His blockbuster movie 'Indra' is being re-released on August 22 in the 4K version. Advance bookings for this movie opened on Saturday (August 17), and theater sources have announced that all the tickets were sold out within minutes. They are also planning to arrange additional shows. It's been 22 years since 'Indra' was originally released, and the excitement among fans is palpable as this super hit movie returns to theaters. Along with 'Indra,' another blockbuster film, 'Shankar Dada MBBS,' is also set to be re-released.
Sister Sentiment in Vishwambhara!
There has been talk for some time now that the film 'Vishwambhara' will feature a brother-sister sentiment. Young actress Ramya Pasupuleti provided some clarity on this. In an interview during the promotions of 'Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam,' she made some interesting comments. "I am playing the role of Chiranjeevi's sister in the film 'Vishwambhara.' I will be sharing the screen with him for quite some time. No one would miss a chance to work with him. I have received many supporting roles, but I did not accept any of them because I wanted to do lead roles. However, I accepted this sister role solely because it is opposite Chiranjeevi. Along with me, other heroines are also playing his sisters in the film," she said. These comments have since gone viral in the industry.

Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth.
‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT!
Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace.
Confirmed by OTT Circles!
It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price.
Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'!
In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film.
Will a Game Changer Save the Day?
The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.

Niharika Konidela’s Comments Cast Doubt on Akira Nandan's Film Debut, Fans React
In Tollywood, where Power Star Pawan Kalyan is one of the heroes with a massive fan following, currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, all his focus is on politics at the moment. In this context, there's a common sentiment that it would be great if his son, Akira Nandan, enters the film industry. Any small photo of Akira turns into a massive trend on social media, with fans delighting in seeing traces of Pawan in him. Fans are confident that Akira will eventually make his entry into the industry. However, Mega daughter Niharika Konidela's latest comments have dampened these hopes, casting doubt on Akira Nandan's film debut. Let's look into the details.
'I don’t know about that thought'
Mega daughter and Naga Babu's daughter Niharika Konidela recently produced the successful film 'Committee Kurrollu'. In a recent interview about the film, she made interesting comments about Akira Nandan. When a journalist asked her when Akira would enter the films and if he could debut under her banner, Niharika responded, "Akira is still very young. I don’t know if he has any thoughts of coming into films. I have never asked him about it. But if he does, I will definitely make it happen." Her comments have gone viral on the internet.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1833762404749996233
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
Mega fans have mixed reactions to Niharika's comments about Akira's entry. While fans are eagerly waiting for Pawan's legacy to continue, Niharika's casual dismissal has raised questions. Some find it inappropriate that she has never asked Akira about his interest, suggesting it would have been better if she had provided a clear answer. However, others defend her comments, arguing that she cannot say anything definitive about something she doesn’t know. Nonetheless, Niharika did mention that if Akira decides to come into movies, she will definitely support him, reminding everyone that she said she would actively help if he chooses to pursue acting.
'I want to see him as a hero': Renu Desai
Akira’s mother, Renu Desai, had previously made clear comments about his potential film career during a YouTube channel interview. She emphasized that Akira is not particularly interested in acting, clarifying that he doesn’t show much enthusiasm even when the topic of acting comes up. Renu stated that currently, Akira has no interest in joining films and that it’s all up to his choice. If he decides to enter films, she would announce it with great fanfare, akin to the grand celebrations of 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. She shared that seeing Akira as a hero is also a wish of her heart, marking it as one of the most joyful thoughts in her life.
Akira.. Multitalented
Regarding Akira Nandan's personal interests, he is multitalented. He has skills in sports, music, and even learned martial arts. Known to play basketball well, he is also academically proficient, topping his class, according to family members. With a keen interest in music, he is currently taking music courses. The Mega family set up a special performance for Akira during the Sankranti celebrations, where he played the piano for a song with a sentimental father theme from the movie 'Animal'. The video of this performance went viral on the internet.

Thaman Hints at a Possible Mahesh Babu and Balakrishna Multi-Starrer, Sparking Fan Excitement
In Tollywood, among the heroes with a massive fan following are Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu. While Mahesh charms fans with his classy looks, Balakrishna energizes his fans with his signature mass dialogues. The very idea of these two stars in one movie is exciting! Recent comments by popular music director Thaman suggest that this multi-starrer might soon become a reality. Thaman's comments during a show became a hot topic on social media.
What Did Thaman Say?
On the popular OTT streaming app 'Aha,' the Telugu version of Indian Idol is being streamed, where Thaman serves as a judge, and singer Sreerama Chandra is hosting. During the semifinals of the show, host Sreerama Chandra posed an intriguing question to Thaman: "If you had the opportunity to direct music for both Balakrishna and Mahesh Babu's films at the same time, which film would you choose to work on?" Thaman's response turned into the talk of Tollywood. He revealed that not only is the multi-starrer film with both Balayya Babu and Mahesh Babu possible, but he also mentioned that he has heard the story of the film. This revelation had both the anchor Sreerama Chandra and the audience cheering excitedly.
https://twitter.com/CINE_EXPLORERS/status/1832658977953607782
Fans Stirring Up Excitement!
Thaman's comments about the upcoming class-mass combo multi-starrer are going viral online. Fans are asserting that records will be shattered if a film featuring Mahesh and Balayya materializes, reminiscent of the films of Super Star Krishna and NTR (N T Rama Rao). Fans are excited at the prospect of their sons also acting together. However, it remains to be seen whether Thaman's comments were made in jest or if there is a genuine plan in place. Currently, apart from speculation by the audience, there is no confirmed information about the film's story or direction. Yet, if true, it's certain that not just speakers but box office records are set to be broken.
Maybe Not Anytime Soon!
After 'Guntur Kaaram,' Mahesh is set to work with legendary director SS Rajamouli. With this commitment, Mahesh won't be available for any other movies for at least the next three years, which means a movie with Balakrishna might not happen anytime soon. Even if the story exists and both actors agree, it might take at least four years for the movie to get on the tracks. Mahesh is currently preparing his look for Rajamouli's film, sporting a significantly grown hair and beard for an adventure action thriller set on a global scale.
Balayya Busy Busy
Balakrishna is currently busy shooting an action-packed movie (NBK 109) directed by Bobby Kolli. The makers are considering releasing this film in December or for the Sankranti festival next year. Notably, Thaman is providing the music for this movie. The shooting is progressing at a brisk pace. In this film, Bollywood stars Bobby Deol and Urvashi Rautela play crucial roles. Balakrishna is fully engaged in the ongoing shooting of this movie, keeping him very busy.

'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.

Jr NTR: Mind-blowing Future Projects – Four Major Films in Two Years!
Among the few heroes who can truly shake the box office, Jr. NTR stands out. Whenever he releases a movie, all previous records are expected to be sidelined. The mere presence of NTR on the big screen sends fans into frenzies of excitement. It has been over two and a half years since his last film, and he hasn’t greeted audiences since ‘RRR’ in 2022, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his next projects. NTR is set to return with 'Devara' on September 27. Moreover, to fully satisfy the high expectations of his fans, he is preparing several exciting projects. Over the next two years, he plans to release no less than four major-budget films. The lineup of NTR's future projects is sure to astound anyone.
A Feast for Fans!
From 2018 to August 2024, the only movie NTR released was ‘RRR’, which sufficiently bridged any gap left by its massive success. Now, he is set to appear in a series of upcoming films, starting with ‘Devara’ directed by Koratala Siva. The next two years will see him releasing four pan-India films, offering a big treat to his audience. After making noise with 'Devara', he will entertain fans with the Bollywood movie 'War 2', sharing the screen with star hero Hrithik Roshan. There’s also a sequel, 'Devara 2', in NTR’s lineup. Recently, the highly anticipated project 'NTR 31' directed by Prashanth Neel was kicked off. This film, expected to be released for Sankranti 2026, is also rumored to include another movie directed by Shouryuv under the 'Hi Nanna' banner, which also appears to have pan-India scope. All in all, NTR seems to have planned at least four film releases over the next two years.
Is This the Story of 'NTR 31'?
The long-awaited project by NTR and Prashanth Neel started on Friday (August 9) with a ceremonial pooja. Observations of the new poster for NTR31 suggest that the film’s plot revolves around an opium mafia narrative set between China and India around 1969. The Kolkata port, being close to the Golden Triangle, was then a hub for opium smuggling. This facilitated frequent skirmishes between the local gangs and the active Chinese mafia in Kolkata. These links reportedly extended all the way to Southeast Asia and even Europe. Currently, there’s strong buzz that Prashanth Neel is shaping the NTR31 project around these points. The film unit needs to provide clarity on these details.
Dual Roles for Tarak!
There’s exciting news about the upcoming 'NTR 31' project under the combination of Tarak and Prashanth Neel. According to the buzz, NTR will be performing dual roles. One of the characters is a 75-year-old man, a role he has never played before, while the other character will be that of a mafia don. Mythri Movie Makers are expected to start shooting this film in September, with an official announcement anticipated soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with the pre-production work.
The Title Decided!
The film NTR 31 is considering an intriguing title, ‘Dragon’, which has been under deliberation for some time. The term ‘Dragon’ in European languages signifies evil, chaos, and the ability to breathe fire, making it a powerful name. Given that Tarak will portray a character with negative shades, this title would perfectly match the film’s intensity. An official announcement regarding the title confirmation is expected very soon.

Prashanth Neel and Jr NTR Unite for 'NTR 31': A New Era of Action and Emotion
Director Prashanth Neel, known for blockbusters like 'KGF' and 'Salaar,' and Jr NTR, who rose to pan-India fame with 'RRR,' are teaming up for a new film. Titled 'NTR 31' for production, the movie was quietly launched without any prior announcements, surprising everyone. Currently, photos and videos related to this movie are circulating online, trending among NTR fans.
In the Presence of Family Members...
The movie, starring Jr NTR and directed by Prashanth Neel, commenced today (August 9) with pooja ceremonies at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad. Both families of NTR and Neel attended the event. The launch has made the hashtag '#NTRNeel went viral on social media, with the film team announcing a worldwide release on January 9 next year, coinciding with Sankranti.

https://twitter.com/Sudha_NTR/status/1821785928798454169
With a Unique Storyline...
Fans expect a film by Prashanth Neel to feature high-octane action sequences and heroic moments, as seen with Yash in 'KGF' and Prabhas in 'Salaar.' Recently, Neel made intriguing remarks about 'NTR 31,' stating, "Everyone might think this is just an action film, but I am not sticking to my usual genre. This will be a diverse film, rich in emotions a completely new story for me."
Dual Roles for Tarak?
Recent buzz suggests that in 'NTR 31,' Tarak might be seen in dual roles, including an unprecedented character of a 75-year-old man, and another as a mafia don. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is expected to start shooting in September, with an official announcement anticipated soon. Currently, Prashanth Neel is busy with pre-production.
Powerful Title!
The film might be titled 'Dragon,' a name currently under consideration, symbolizing evil in European languages and representing turmoil and the ability to spit fire. Given the intense and negative shades of Tarak's role, this title is deemed a perfect match by Neel. An official confirmation on the title is expected shortly.
With a Massive Budget...
'NTR 31' is set to be a big-budget film, with an expenditure of over ₹300 crores. Tarak is expected to receive a significant remuneration. There are also rumors that Rashmika Mandanna might be cast opposite Tarak, with other cast members to be finalized soon.

Game Changer: Mega Fans in Tension.. 'Game Changer' Not Releasing This Year?
Following the blockbuster 'RRR', Ram Charan is starring in 'Game Changer', a political drama directed by Tamil cinema's renowned director Shankar and produced by Tollywood's notable producer, Dil Raju. Recently, Dil Raju hinted at a Christmas release, which had mega fans celebrating. However, new issues have surfaced that could potentially delay the film's release this year.
What's the Reason?
There's strong buzz that 'Game Changer', starring mega power star Ram Charan, might not release this year as planned. Although initially set for a Christmas release, it's now uncertain due to incomplete shooting. It's reported that more than 15 days of shooting are still pending, and director Shankar is still scouting for new locations. This could mean more time is needed to finish the shooting, followed by post-production and dubbing, possibly pushing the release past December.
2024 Summer Release?
The 'Game Changer' film, a collaboration between Ram Charan and Shankar, might move from December to the summer of 2025. Even though there's a chance for a Sankranti release if December is missed, several films are already slated for the Pongal competition. The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Vishwambhara’ have announced a Sankranti release. Similarly, films starring Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi, and Ajith’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’, and ‘Shatamanam Bhavati 2’ are also aiming for the same festive release. In this context, it seems unwise for the 'Game Changer' team to join the race. Given the exam season in February and March, cinema pundits are speculating a possible release during the summer holidays.
High Hopes on Game Changer!
Director Shankar’s recent release 'Indian 2' disappointed audiences, failing to meet expectations and earning criticism online. His previous films such as 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to regain his successful track. Producer Dil Raju is also counting on this film to recover from the financial losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which flopped at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are heavily reliant on the success of this Charan movie.
Kiara’s Poster Hits the Mark!
In 'Game Changer', Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the female lead. Recently, on her birthday, the film team released a special poster where Kiara looks stunning in a multi-colored lehenga. This look is from the movie's first single, 'Jaragandi Jaragandi'. In addition to Charan and Kiara, S.J. Surya, Anjali, Srikanth, Nazar, Naveen Chandra, and Samuthirakani play significant roles in the film.

Kalki 2: New Challenges for Prabhas with Star Heroine.. 'Kalki 2' Seems Unlikely Soon!
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Prabhas, made a massive impact at the Indian box office. With a stellar cast including Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, the movie generated over ₹1100 crores, greatly exceeding expectations. This remarkable success has turned attention towards its sequel, with audiences eagerly anticipating the release of 'Kalki 2'. However, recent reports suggest that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is unlikely to commence soon, reportedly due to complications involving the lead actress, Deepika Padukone.
Shooting Breaks!
Producer Ashwani Dutt previously mentioned that 'Kalki 2' was expected to release around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already complete. However, the remaining shooting is facing delays due to Deepika Padukone. Currently, Deepika is pregnant and is expected to give birth in September. She has decided to take at least a year off from films after giving birth. As part of this, she has even let go of a much-loved project with Rohit Shetty and declined a prominent Bollywood show. This suggests that she might also be unavailable for shooting 'Kalki 2'.
Deepika is Crucial!
Deepika Padukone's role is pivotal to 'Kalki 2'. The second part is expected to revolve around her character. Director Nag Ashwin plans to resume 'Kalki 2' on the sets right after Sankranti, and hero Prabhas is eagerly waiting for this. If Deepika is unable to attend the shooting, it poses a significant challenge for the Kalki team, potentially leading to rescheduling the dates Prabhas had set aside for 'Kalki 2'. This unexpected development is creating new complications for Prabhas, leading to speculation that 'Kalki 2' might now be pushed to a 2026 release.
The Real Story in Part 2!
'Kalki 2898 AD' seems primarily to introduce the characters. Prabhas (as Bhairava), Deepika Padukone (as Sumathi), Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama), Kamal Haasan (as the villain Supreme Yashkin), and Vijay Deverakonda (as Arjuna) are central to the narrative of Kalki. The director, Nag Ashwin, set up the backgrounds and significance of each character in the first part, showing the hardships people face at the end of Kali Yuga and the villain Supreme Yashkin's tyranny. The conditions before the arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, were depicted in 'Part 1'. However, the hero Prabhas and the villain Supreme Yashkin did not come face to face in the first part. In 'Part 2', these two are expected to confront each other directly, making the second part more intriguing.
Kamal Haasan's Significant Role
Kamal Haasan’s role in the Kalki film lasts less than 15 minutes, offering the audience little opportunity to see his performance beyond two or three dialogues. Supreme Yashkin gains divine power by injecting himself with serum extracted from Sumathi (Deepika Padukone) while she is pregnant. His enhanced power is shown in the climax of 'Kalki'. This indicates that Kamal Haasan’s role will be fully realized in 'Kalki 2'. Speaking at a recent event, Kamal also confirmed that he would appear more extensively in 'Kalki 2'. Consequently, fans might get to see more of Kamal Haasan’s formidable acting as the plot progresses, with Prabhas (as Karna/Bhairava) and Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama) aiding the young Kalki in defeating Supreme Yashkin.
Who will Play Kalki?
According to mythology, Kalki, the avatar of Vishnu, ends the Kali Yuga. From the start of the shooting of Kalki, everyone assumed Prabhas would play Kalki. However, the director threw a curveball by portraying him as Karna. This makes it interesting to speculate who will appear as Kalki in the film. Since Kalki remains in Sumathi’s womb until the end of the first part, there is no chance for him to suddenly appear fully grown in 'Part 2'. Thus, there is a possibility that Kalki might be shown as a child. This child, aided by Prabhas (Karna/Bhairava) and Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), might be the one to vanquish Supreme Yashkin.

Vishwambhara: Dissatisfaction from Megastar on Certain Scenes? Planning a Reshoot!
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas made a sensational impact at the Indian box office, known to all. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this futuristic mythology entertainer amassed over Rs. 1100 crore, receiving widespread acclaim for its massive sets and Hollywood-level VFX work, stunning all viewers as a visual wonder. Meanwhile, 'Vishwambhara', another upcoming film starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, seems to be following in 'Kalki’s' footsteps, with talks suggesting Megastar is taking a leaf out of darling Prabhas’s book.
Following 'Kalki’s' Path in 'Vishwambhara'!
For the 'Kalki 2898 AD' film, director Nag Ashwin constructed 16 massive sets that greatly contributed to the CG work, providing a fantastic visual feast for the audience. The 'Vishwambhara' movie team is reportedly adopting a similar strategy. Director Vashista is striving to create an entirely new world for this film, with 8 large sets already constructed and plans for another 4 underway. Art Director AS Prakash is working hard to create these spectacular sets, currently being built at Annapurna Studios.
'Vishwambhara' to Top After 'Kalki'!
After 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Vishwambhara' is said to be the next big film with extensive set constructions, expected to deliver a visual treat on par with 'Kalki'. Megastar Chiranjeevi is reportedly playing a unique role that he has never attempted before, promising to thrill the audience with action sequences reminiscent of hero Prabhas. Chiranjeevi himself shared a video of his workout preparation for the film, indicating his dedication to the role. Trisha is co-starring with him in this movie.
Megastar's Dissatisfaction
Recent buzz suggests that Megastar Chiranjeevi is somewhat dissatisfied with 'Vishwambhara'. He has recently reviewed the footage from the shooting and has expressed concerns about certain scenes that deviate from the script. He has reportedly suggested changes to director Vashista. This has led to talks within the industry about potential reshoots for those scenes. Despite this, the makers have announced 'Vishwambhara' as a Sankranti gift, though there is speculation about whether the release date might change due to the reshoots.
Bollywood Actor as the Villain
In 'Vishwambhara', Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor is playing the villain opposite Chiranjeevi. He previously impressed in a special role in 'Devadas', starring Nagarjuna and Nani, and has now returned to act in 'Vishwambhara'. Originally, Rana Daggubati was offered the villain role, but he declined due to similarities with another character he was portraying. Several scenes with Kunal Kapoor have already been filmed. The film is being produced under the banner of UV Creations by Vikram, Vamshi, and Pramod. Alongside Trisha, Aashika Ranganath is also playing a lead role, with music composed by M.M. Keeravani.

Game Changer: Is the Release Date for 'Game Changer' Set? Ram Charan Follows in Prabhas' Footsteps!
Following the blockbuster success of 'RRR', Mega Power Star Ram Charan is set to appear in 'Game Changer', directed by renowned Tamil cinema director Shankar. This film has generated high expectations among audiences, including Mega fans and regular moviegoers alike. Recently, the film's producer, Dil Raju, sparked further excitement by making intriguing remarks and hinting at the release date for 'Game Changer', leading to a flurry of eager posts from fans about the confirmed release date.
Is It Releasing on That Day?
Produced by the prominent producer Dil Raju, 'Game Changer' is being crafted as a political action thriller. At the recent pre-release event of 'Raayan', Dil Raju responded about the release of 'Game Changer', hinting at a Christmas release. This suggests that 'Game Changer' might hit the screens on December 25 as a Christmas gift. It marks the 50th film produced under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, making it a prestigious project for Dil Raju. The editing work for this movie is currently underway.

Ram Charan in Prabhas' Path!
It appears that Mega Hero Ram Charan is emulating Pan India Star Prabhas. Last year, Prabhas starred in 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,' which was released as a Christmas gift and became a blockbuster, grossing Rs. 700 crores worldwide on December 22, 2023. The decision to release during Christmas was strategic, aimed at avoiding competition with major stars like Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh, who had films lined up for the Sankranti festival in January 2024. Similarly, Ram Charan and his team are considering a solo Christmas release to ensure strong box office returns without facing competition from other big names. For Sankranti 2025, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' has been scheduled, and films like Venkatesh’s new project with Anil Ravipudi and Ajith’s 'Good Bad Ugly', as well as 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' are also expected to release. Thus, releasing 'Game Changer' as a Christmas gift could potentially replicate the box office impact seen with 'Salaar.'
High Hopes for Game Changer!
Following the disappointment of Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2', which failed to meet audience expectations and was widely criticized online, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar's return to success. Shankar's previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office, adding to the pressure. Dil Raju, too, is looking to rebound from the significant losses incurred from Vijay Deverakonda's 'Family Star', which was a box office disaster. The industry is abuzz with talk that 'Game Changer' will be a significant turnaround for both the director and the producer. All hopes for success are now pinned on this Ram Charan movie.
Is This the Story?
A leading OTT platform, Amazon Prime, has already revealed the storyline of 'Game Changer'. Announcing its upcoming films on their platform, Amazon Prime unveiled the plot of 'Game Changer', which revolves around an honest IAS officer fighting political corruption. Reports suggest that Charan will be seen in dual roles as father and son. Kiara Advani is starring opposite Ram Charan. Other significant roles are played by Srikanth, Sunil, Naveen Chandra, Jayaram, Samuthirakani, and Anjali. S. S. Thaman is providing the music for this film.

Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109: Allu Arjun and Balakrishna Face-off? Another Big Fight at the Box Office!
Icon Star Allu Arjun and director Sukumar's much-anticipated movie "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is currently shooting at a brisk pace and is set to hit theaters on December 6. Allu Arjun's fans are eagerly awaiting this date. With no other major releases scheduled for the first week of December, it is expected that "Pushpa 2" will dominate the box office. However, it seems that Nandamuri Balakrishna will provide strong competition to Bunny's film. A box office clash between Balayya and Bunny appears imminent.
Pushpa 2 vs NBK 109!
Nandamuri Balakrishna is working on an action entertainer with director Bobby. Known by its working title 'NBK 109,' this movie is also progressing rapidly. Initially, the makers planned to release the movie as a Sankranthi treat. However, recent buzz suggests they plan to release it a month earlier, on December 2, and preparations are underway. An official announcement may soon confirm this. If this happens, the box office clash between Allu Arjun and Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to be intriguing.
Akhanda Sentiment!
Balakrishna is also driven by a sentiment to release his film in the first week of December. His movie "Akhanda," released three years ago on December 2, was a blockbuster. Makers strongly believe that releasing 'NBK 109' on the same date will replicate that success. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara" is slated for a grand release on January 10, along with Venkatesh - Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's "Good Bad Ugly," and "Shatamanam Bhavati 2," all set for Sankranthi. Hence, 'NBK 109' might have to opt for an earlier release date.
Balakrishna’s Golden Jubilee Celebration
Nandamuri Balakrishna is celebrating 50 years in the cinema industry. A grand golden jubilee celebration is planned by Tollywood on September 1 in Hyderabad. The event invitations are being distributed jointly by the TFPC, TFCC, and MAA Association to prominent actors. Recently, Stylish Star Allu Arjun received his invitation. Earlier, invitations were also sent to Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan, and actors from Tamil and Kannada industries like Vijay Sethupathi, Siva Karthikeyan, and Shiva Rajkumar.
Balayya... Unstoppable
Nandamuri Balakrishna has been unstoppable in the industry for the past 50 years, acting in 109 films. Interestingly, he has worked with 129 heroines across these films. His movies span various genres, including social, mythological, folklore, biopics, science fiction, and period dramas. Balakrishna has also made a successful foray into politics, winning elections as an MLA three times. For 25 years, he has served as the chairman of the Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital, earning a reputation as a lifesaver for many.

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.

Tarak's latest film 'Devara' is creating a storm at the box office and doing well in terms of collections. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film has garnered positive talk, much to the delight of fans. With the success of the movie, expectations for Tarak's next film have skyrocketed. It is already known that Tarak has officially announced a film with 'Salaar' fame Prashanth Neel. The film, with the working title 'NTR 31', is set to take shape. Recently, there's been an exciting update circulating online about this project, making fans extremely happy.
Tarak in the role of a farmer!
The upcoming 'NTR 32' project, directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is creating buzz in Tollywood. The film, a period action drama, is rumored to feature Tarak as a farmer. The story reportedly unfolds against the backdrop of Bangladesh, depicting a young man who lives by farming and finds himself fighting for the locals due to unforeseen events. It's said that Prashanth Neel will showcase Tarak in two variations in this film. Tarak's characterization and performance are expected to be next-level compared to his previous films.
Rashmika as the heroine?
Director Prashanth Neel is currently busy with pre-production work for 'NTR 31'. He is working on finalizing the main cast. Reports suggest that Prashanth Neel is considering Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead opposite Tarak. If this happens, it would be the first film to feature the Tarak-Rashmika combo. The director plans to release 'NTR 31' as a Sankranthi gift in 2026 and intends to start shooting soon. Ravi Basrur is set to provide the music, while Bhuvan Gowda will handle the cinematography duties.
Next on sets!
It is known that Tarak is acting in a Bollywood film titled 'War 2', directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan. Tarak is playing a role with negative shades in this film. He has already participated in the shooting of this movie. Once he completes his part in 'War 2', Tarak plans to commence shooting for 'NTR 31'. He hopes to adjust his dates to fully accommodate Prashanth Neel's schedule. 'War 2' is set to hit the screens on August 15 next year.
Clarity on politics
Following the success of 'Devara', NTR once again commented on politics. He made it clear that acting is his first option, not politics. In an interview, Junior stated that he always wanted to be an actor from the beginning. He mentioned that he did his first movie at the age of 17 and has been focused on acting ever since. Disregarding votes, he noted that millions buy tickets for him, and he feels happy to meet so many people as an actor. NTR's comments indicate that he has no immediate plans to enter politics.

Jr. NTR's 'Devara' Shatters Records: A ₹300 Crore Triumph in 3 Days, Tarak Breaks a 23-Year-Old Flop Streak
Jr. NTR's latest film 'Devara' has achieved remarkable success at the box office, raking in ₹300 crores in just the first three days and is now swiftly marching towards the ₹500 crore club. In this film, Tarak is paired with Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor, while Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist. 'Devara' has brought several intriguing aspects of Tarak's capabilities to the forefront, providing him a victory that even a global star like Prabhas has not achieved. Once again, Tarak has proven to be a boon for directors who have previously experienced flops.
Hits with Flop Directors!
It can be said that Jr. NTR has become a savior for Tollywood directors who have previously faced failures. Directors who lost their fame due to massive disasters have seen their fortunes revive when teaming up with Tarak. This was recently proven with 'Devara' as well. Director Koratala Siva, who faced criticism with the disaster of 'Acharya', achieved solid success with Tarak in 'Devara'. Tarak has also revived the careers of directors like Puri Jagannadh with 'Temper' after his series of flops, Sukumar with 'Nannaku Prematho' after the failure of '1: Nenokkadine', and Bobby with 'Jai Lava Kusa' after a flop with Ravi Teja. He also brought Trivikram back from the brink after the disaster of 'Agnyaathavaasi' with 'Aravinda Sametha'. In this way, Tarak continues to create new records by turning flop directors into hit-makers.
The Only Unbeaten Hero: Tarak
In any hero's career, hits and flops are common. Even big star heroes cannot guarantee that every film will be embraced by the audience. Even global star Prabhas faced flops with films like 'Saaho', 'Radhe Shyam', and 'Adipurush' following 'Baahubali'. However, Tarak has been unstoppable in the industry without a single flop over the last nine years. His last seven films have been blockbusters at the box office, including 'Temper', 'Nannaku Prematho', 'Janatha Garage', 'Jai Lava Kusa', 'Aravinda Sametha', 'RRR', and 'Devara'. Tarak stands out as the only hero of his generation to achieve this feat. With big upcoming projects like 'Devara 2', 'NTR 31' with Prashanth Neel, and a rumored film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tarak's winning streak looks set to continue.
Breaking a 23-Year-Old Flop Record
It is well-known that a film with director SS Rajamouli is bound to be a blockbuster. However, no hero has managed to hit immediately following a film with Rajamouli. But with 'Devara', Tarak has broken this flop sentiment. After 'RRR' with Rajamouli, Tarak immediately achieved a solid victory with 'Devara'. Interestingly, Tarak, who kick-started this flop sentiment with Rajamouli's first film 'Student No.1', has himself broken it exactly 23 years after the release of 'Student No.1'.
Tarak in the Role of a Farmer!
Under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the upcoming project 'NTR 31', produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is generating buzz in Tollywood. Rumored to be a periodic action drama, the film is said to be set in Bangladesh and will portray Tarak as a young farmer who becomes embroiled in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. The film will reportedly showcase Tarak in two different variations, promising a next-level character portrayal and performance different from his previous roles.
Rashmika as the Heroine?
Director Prashanth Neel is currently busy with the pre-production work for 'NTR 31', focusing on casting the main roles. Reports suggest that Rashmika Mandanna is being considered to star opposite Tarak, which would mark their first film together if confirmed. 'NTR 31' is planned for release as a Sankranthi gift in 2026, with shooting expected to start soon. The music for the movie will be composed by Ravi Basrur, with cinematography handled by Bhuvan Gowda.
