Allu Sirish's 'Buddy': A Spirited Comeback in an Action-Packed Adventure
Cast: Allu Sirish, Gayatri Bharadwaj, Prisha Singh, Ajmal Amir, Sriram Reddy, Mohammed Ali, Mukesh Kumar, and others.
Director: Sam Antone
Music: Hip-hop Tamizha
Cinematography: Krishnan Vasant
Editor: Ruben
Producer: K.E. Gnanavel Raja
Release Date: August 2, 2024
After a considerable hiatus, Mega Hero Allu Sirish makes his comeback with the film 'Buddy', starring alongside heroines Gayatri Bharadwaj and Prisha Singh. Directed by Sam Antone and produced by K.E. Gnanavel Raja under the Studio Green Films banner, this action-adventure film was released on August 2.
What's the Story?
Aditya Ram (Allu Sirish), a pilot, falls in love with Pallavi (Gayatri Bharadwaj), who works as an air traffic controller in Visakhapatnam, without ever meeting her. Just as they plan to meet, unexpected events unfold. Pallavi gets caught in a medical mafia trap and is kidnapped, falling into a coma. Her spirit enters a teddy bear that Aditya once gifted her. How does her spirit, through the teddy, reunite with Aditya? How does Aditya, with the help of the teddy, retrieve her body from the villains? What did the villain gang plan to do with Pallavi's body? This is the story.
How Did They Perform?
Allu Sirish delivers a remarkable performance as Aditya. He excels in the action sequences, showing great maturity as an actor in this film. Gayatri Bharadwaj captivates with her glamour, charming the audience every moment she's on screen. Ajmal Amir, as the villain, matches well against Sirish, impressing with his acting. Second heroine Prisha Singh delights as an air hostess. The other actors also performed commendably within their roles.
How's the Direction?
Director Sam Antone made an effort to craft a unique story with this film. The love track between Allu Sirish and Gayatri Bharadwaj is beautifully executed. The scenes that show their connection despite being physically apart are particularly entertaining for the youth. The film keeps the audience engaged with 'Kalki' and 'Jai Balayya slogans' that add energy. The action sequences involving Buddy and Allu Sirish are enjoyable. However, the director failed to maintain suspense about what happens next, with the scenes being predictable. Some irrelevant comedy scenes caused viewer fatigue. An attempt to inject humor into the crucial climax was unnecessary.
Technically...
Technically speaking, Hip-hop Tamizha's background music is a strong addition, enhancing the action scenes, although the songs themselves are not very memorable. Krishnan Vasant's cinematographer is commendable. Editor Ruben could have sharpened his cuts a bit more. Better output from the graphics department would have added value to the film. Production values are satisfactory.
Plus Points
- Allu Sirish's acting
- The love track
- Action sequences with Buddy
Minus Points
- Screenplay
- Lack of suspense
- Some boring scenes

Venkatesh’s Sankranti Treat: Hilarious Gun Mishap on Set, Big Box Office Clash Looms!
Veteran actor Venkatesh is starring in the film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, directed by the talented Anil Ravipudi. The movie features young heroine Meenakshi Chaudhary as Venkatesh's co-star, with Aishwarya Rajesh playing a significant second lead. Produced by Dil Raju, the film is set to release on January 14, 2025, as a Sankranti treat. Recently, the team held a press meet where director Anil Ravipudi shared an interesting incident from the film's shoot.
"Accidentally Pointed a Real Gun"
Tamil actor VTV Ganesh, who won the hearts of Telugu audiences with his single dialogue "Evarraa Nuvvu Intha Talented?" in Beast, plays a key role in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. During the press meet, Anil Ravipudi shared a humorous yet nerve-wracking moment from the set involving VTV Ganesh. He recounted, "Ganesh sir asked me if I knew what a real gun felt like. Senior actor Naresh, who was on set, brought out his licensed gun. Without realizing it was loaded, I jokingly pointed it at Ganesh sir's head at point-blank range. Naresh panicked and immediately removed the bullets, explaining that even a slight touch could fire it. It was a close call. Ganesh sir, you must have a bright future, which is why you were saved that day!" Anil added that many such funny incidents occurred during the shoot.

One Hero Two Heroines: Old Trend in Tollywood is coming Back?
The Telugu film industry consistently leads in setting new trends. A resurgent trend in Tollywood features films with one hero and two heroines. While this concept is not new, as many Telugu films have previously followed this pattern, its popularity waned over time. However, after a significant hiatus, this trend is making a comeback, with several upcoming movies adopting this format. What are these films, and who are the heroines involved? We will delve into these details in this special report.
Gayathri Bharadwaj - Prisha Rajesh Singh
Allu Sirish stars in the upcoming film 'Buddy,' directed by Sham Anton. Scheduled for release on August 2, the film features two heroines: Gayathri Bharadwaj and Prisha Rajesh Singh. Both actresses have caught the audience's attention in the promotional materials for 'Buddy.' The film is produced under the banner of Studio Green Films by KE Gnanavel Raja and Adhana Gnanavel Raja.
Malvika Malhotra - Mannara Chopra
Raj Tarun stars in the latest film 'Thiragabadara Saami,' directed by A.S. Ravi Kumar. In this film, two heroines share the screen: main heroine Malvi Malhotra and Mannara Chopra, who appears in a special song. Meanwhile, Raj Tarun and Malvi Malhotra have been in the news recently. Raj Tarun's girlfriend, Lavanya, has filed a complaint alleging that he deceived her and has been romantically involved with Malvi Malhotra. Amid these controversies, there is heightened interest in 'Thiragabadara Saami.'
Thanvi Akanksha - Seerat Kapoor
The latest film 'Usha Parinayam,' directed by veteran director Vijay Bhaskar and starring his son Sree Kamal, is set to hit theaters on August 2. The film features two heroines: newcomer Thanvi Akanksha and established actress Seerat Kapoor, who will appear in a special song. Thanvi Akanksha makes her film debut, while Seerat Kapoor has been known for her roles in films like 'Run Raja Run,' 'Tiger,' 'Columbus,' 'Okka Kshanam,' and 'Touch Chesi Chudu.'
Meenakshi Chaudhary - Shraddha Srinath
Vishwak Sen stars in 'Mechanic Rocky,' directed by Raviteja Mullapudi and produced by Ram Talluri. The film, set against a love triangle concept, features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Shraddha Srinath as the female leads. Scheduled for release on October 31, 'Mechanic Rocky' has sparked curiosity among viewers. Meenakshi Chaudhary is already well-known from films like 'Ichata Vahanamulu Niluparadu,' 'Khiladi,' 'HIT 2: The Second Case,' and 'Guntur Kaaram.' Shraddha Srinath has also captured the Telugu audience's heart with her performances in 'Jersey' and 'Saindhav.'
Tamannaah - Raashi Khanna
The fourth installment in the 'Aranmanai' series, 'Baak,' was recently released in Telugu, directed by Sundar C. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Raashii Khanna, who together featured prominently in a song that became quite popular among fans. Despite being a horror film, 'Baak' failed to make a significant impact at the box office.
Tamannaah - Keerthy Suresh
Megastar Chiranjeevi's last film, 'Bhola Shankar,' also featured two heroines and was directed by Meher Ramesh. Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh played the lead roles, with Tamannaah as Chiru's love interest and Keerthy Suresh as his sister. Released on August 11 last year, the film failed to captivate the audience.

Keerthy Suresh to Tie the Knot with Antony Thattil: All About Her Rumored Beau and Grand Goa Wedding!
Young beauty Keerthy Suresh is soon to be wed. There is strong buzz that she will be marrying her boyfriend Antony Thattil in Goa. This has led fans to eagerly search for information about Antony. Let's learn about Antony Thattil.
Antony Thattil was born in Kochi, Kerala, in 1989. He completed his education in Kochi and Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Currently, he is a young businessman based in Dubai and has established two companies centered in Chennai.
First, he founded 'Asperos Window Solutions LLP' in Chennai and expanded its operations to Dubai.
Later, he registered another company in Chennai in partnership with Kaipalath Habib Faruqi, along with three other shareholders.
Besides these two companies, Antony also owns several resorts. He manages his business operations from his hometown Kochi.
Antony has known the popular actress Keerthy since she was 15 years old. Their acquaintance began when Keerthy was in high school, and Antony was pursuing his degree.
While Keerthy began her career as a child actress and rose to fame, Antony continued to focus on his studies while maintaining their relationship.
Antony has always dreamed of being a successful entrepreneur. He has skillfully balanced his relationship with Keerthy without letting it interfere with his professional goals.
As a result, Antony has succeeded both in business and love life, serving as an inspiration to the youth.
It is strongly rumored that their wedding will take place in Goa on December 11 and 12, and the preparations have already begun.
Keerthy’s parents, Suresh and Menaka, are reportedly very pleased to give their daughter away to Antony. Only close friends and family are expected to attend their wedding.
Recently, Keerthy Suresh responded to questions about her wedding. When asked by an English newspaper when the wedding would be, she replied that she would announce it when the right time comes.
Last year, Keerthy also hinted about her relationship with Antony, promising to reveal the mystery man when the time is right.
Keerthy Suresh entered the film industry with the 2013 Malayalam movie 'Geethanjali.' Her Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' won over audiences impressively.
Her role in the Telugu movie 'Mahanati' became a turning point in her life, earning her a National Award for Best Actress from the government.
This year, Keerthy has already entertained with 'Siren,' 'Raghu Thata,' and remains busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta,' 'Kannivedi,' and 'Uppu Kappurambu.' She is also set to make her Bollywood debut with 'Baby John.'

Rajamouli’s Big ‘What If’: Suriya Was Almost Cast in Magadheera – How It Could’ve Changed Telugu Cinema
Tamil star Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva is all set for a grand pan-India release on November 14. With the release date approaching, Suriya and the Kanguva team are actively promoting the film through various events, including a recent pre-release event. At this event, special guest Rajamouli mentioned that he once considered making a film with Suriya, sparking widespread curiosity. Fans are now speculating which film this might have been. Let’s take a closer look.
Which Film Was It?
The mega-blockbuster Magadheera (Ram Charan) catapulted Charan’s career to new heights under Rajamouli’s direction. According to the latest buzz, Rajamouli initially wanted to cast Suriya in Magadheera. While there were strong rumors about Rajamouli wanting Suriya for Baahubali, these rumors were debunked by Rajamouli’s father and writer Vijayendra Prasad, who clarified that Baahubali was designed specifically for Prabhas. However, it’s believed that Rajamouli initially considered Suriya for Magadheera. At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli praised Suriya’s Ghajini, which was released in 2005—four years before Magadheera in 2009. Considering that Magadheera took three years to complete, it’s likely Rajamouli had the script ready by 2006. Based on these timelines, fans speculate that Magadheera was the film Rajamouli envisioned for Suriya.
What If That Had Happened?
If Suriya had done Magadheera instead of Ram Charan, Charan’s career might have looked very different. After his debut with Chirutha, which received moderate success, Charan struggled to establish a strong foothold until Magadheera cemented his position in the industry. Even though he acted in several films after Magadheera, he didn’t experience another significant breakthrough until Rangasthalam in 2018. Industry analysts and fans believe that without Magadheera, Charan’s career might not have reached the heights it did.
‘Missed Chance to Work with Suriya’
At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli expressed admiration for Kollywood actor Suriya, crediting him as an inspiration for his pan-India films. He acknowledged Suriya’s impact on promoting Telugu cinema globally, citing Suriya’s promotion for Ghajini as a case study on how actors from different industries can connect with Telugu audiences. Rajamouli explained that Suriya’s efforts inspired him while creating Baahubali but noted that, despite wanting to work with Suriya, the opportunity never materialized.
https://twitter.com/AadhanTelugu/status/1854710204740309097
‘Told the Story… It Didn’t Work Out’
In a recent interview, Tamil star Karthi shared an interesting story about Rajamouli’s attempt to collaborate with him and Suriya. During the promotions for Satyam Sundaram, Karthi, in a conversation with director Gautham Menon, revealed that Rajamouli had once narrated a story to him and Suriya. “Rajamouli Sir told us a story that was good, but the movie didn’t materialize,” Karthi explained. Fans were stunned, wondering why they would pass on a Rajamouli film. If this project had taken off, it might have further elevated the careers of both Suriya and Karthi.

Did Pawan Kalyan Use AI for His Response to Karthi Amid Tirumala Laddu Controversy?
The controversy over the adulteration of Tirumala Laddu has caused a huge stir in Andhra Pradesh. As part of his atonement ritual, Pawan Kalyan conducted purification ceremonies at Vijayawada Kanaka Durga temple yesterday (September 24). He later spoke to the media and criticized actor Karthi and also targeted Prakash Raj harshly. In response, Karthi apologized to Pawan Kalyan through a tweet on X. Pawan Kalyan also responded on the platform, saying that he understood Karthi’s intentions. However, rumors are circulating online that Pawan did not write this post himself and that AI was used to generate his reply to Karthi.
Pawan’s AI Post?
It is known that Pawan Kalyan expressed his displeasure towards Karthi’s comments on the Tirumala Laddu controversy. Recently, Pawan posted on X, addressing Karthi, appreciating his quick response respecting the traditions. Pawan mentioned that he understood that Karthi did not intend to offend anyone. However, it is being rumored on the internet that these words were not penned by Pawan himself. Critics are claiming that Pawan used AI tools like ChatGPT to generate this tweet. Some are questioning why Pawan would act this way regarding an actor like Karthi, while others are asking if he doesn’t have the time to write his own posts.

Is Using ‘AI’ Wrong?
An AI detector analysis of Pawan’s post confirms that AI was indeed used. However, this is not considered wrong. Today, celebrities and politicians frequently use AI-generated content to refine their messages. They often write down their thoughts and then use AI tools to correct errors, ensuring their posts are free of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Given that their posts influence millions, they take precautions to avoid mistakes. It is possible that Pawan used an AI tool to ensure clarity in his response regarding Karthi. Furthermore, some celebrities don’t manage their own Twitter handles and hire someone for this purpose. Hence, film circles believe that there is no need to overanalyze Pawan’s AI-generated tweet.
What Did Karthi Do Wrong?
At the pre-release event of ‘Sathyam Sundaram’ on Monday, Karthi’s response to the Tirumala Laddu issue sparked controversy. When the anchor mentioned the Laddu, Karthi humorously said, “Let’s not talk about the Laddu now. It’s a sensitive topic… not for us.” Following Pawan’s criticism, Karthi responded on X, stating, “Dear Pawan Kalyan Sir, I have immense respect for you. I apologize if there was any unintended misunderstanding in my words. As a humble devotee of Lord Venkateswara, I always respect our traditions.” However, netizens are defending Karthi, saying he did not speak inappropriately and only responded because the anchor brought up the topic.

In his post about Karthi, Pawan Kalyan also mentioned the film ‘Sathyam Sundaram.’ He conveyed his best wishes to Suriya, Jyothika, and the film’s team on the occasion of its release, hoping for more such entertaining films from 2D Entertainment. Both Karthi and Suriya responded to Pawan’s tweet, thanking him. With positive reactions from both brothers, the controversy seems to have subsided.
