      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.'

      Mathu Vadalara 2 Movie Review: Comedy, Chaos, and Satya’s Hilarious Performance
      Mathu Vadalara 2 Movie Review: Comedy, Chaos, and Satya’s Hilarious Performance
      Cast: Sri Simha, Satya, Faria Abdullah, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and others. Writer and Director: Ritesh Rana Music: Kaala Bhairava Cinematographer: Suresh Sarangam Editor: Karthika Srinivas Producer: Chiranjeevi (Cherry) Release Date: September 13, 2024 Sri Simha stars in 'Mathu Vadalara 2,' directed by Ritesh Rana. The film features key performances by Faria Abdullah, Satya, Vennela Kishore, Rohini, and Sunil. The movie captured everyone's attention when actor Prabhas launched the trailer, which was full of laughs, heightening expectations. How did the film turn out? Did it impress the Telugu audience? Let's dive into this review to find out. Plot Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu Babu (Satya) work as delivery boys struggling with financial issues. Their inadequate earnings lead them to become special agents. A small mistake in a case they handle gets them into trouble. What is this case about? What was their mistake? How did they get out of it? How does undercover agent Nidhi (Faria Abdullah) help them? To find out, you must watch the movie. Performances As the lead, Sri Simha delivers a solid performance, captivating in comedy and action sequences. However, Satya, present in every scene, steals the show, making him the true hero of the film. With his punchlines and comic timing, Satya excels, especially with his expressions that guarantee a laugh riot. His antics as the "Sexy Siren" in the film are particularly effective. Faria Abdullah also lands a substantial role that is memorable post her character in 'Chitti'. Vennela Kishore adds his unique flavor of comedy, while Sunil and Rohini do justice to their significant roles. Other actors also performed adequately. Direction Director Ritesh Rana crafts stories revolving around drugs, guns, and money. This time is no different, blending kidnapping drama with humor to entertain the audience. He successfully uses star references including Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna, and Mahesh Babu to great effect. The characters of Sri Simha and Satya are particularly entertaining and well-developed. Every character appears fresh and funny on screen. The director keeps the first half a fun ride, though he struggles a bit in the second half where some scenes drag. The climax also feels predictable, a minor drawback. Technically On the technical front, Kaala Bhairava's background score is a major plus, elevating many scenes effectively. The cinematography is commendable, but the editing could have been tighter. The production values are high. Plus Points - Sri Simha and Satya’s performances - Comedy - Background music Minus Points - Some dragging scenes - Predictable climax Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 3/5

      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
      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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-PhzFEt9Wk 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.

      Tollywood 2024: Blockbusters and Budget Surprises, From 'Kalki 2898 AD' to 'HanuMan' 
      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.'

      Pawan Kalyan: A ₹1.60 Lakh Question on Pawan in a Hindi Show..
      Pawan Kalyan: A ₹1.60 Lakh Question on Pawan in a Hindi Show..
      Power Star Pawan Kalyan has made an indelible mark not only in Tollywood but also in AP politics. In the recent AP Assembly elections, 21 MLAs and two MPs from the Jana Sena contested and won, demonstrating their strength. After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide. In this context, a question related to Pawan Kalyan was asked in the famous Hindi TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, the video related to this is going viral online. What Was the Question? The current season, the 16th of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' is ongoing, with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. The show airs every Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony TV. In a recent episode, Big B asked a contestant a question related to Pawan Kalyan. "Who assumed the role of Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024?" was the question. The contestant chose the 'Audience Poll' lifeline for this question. Over 50% of the audience suggested it was Pawan Kalyan. The contestant locked in Pawan's name, and it turned out to be the correct answer, winning them ₹1.60 lakhs and moving on to the next question. https://twitter.com/i/status/1834848187862986820 Pawan's Lineup Currently, Pawan Kalyan has three major films lined up. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG' are in his pipeline. Director Krish has already stepped down from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and Jayakrishna has taken over the responsibilities. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' is to be directed by Harish Shankar. Pawan has also commenced 'OG' with young director Sujeeth. Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time. Busy in Politics Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume. Good News for Pawan Fans Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

      Jr NTR's 'Devara' Achieves Rare 50-Day Milestone in Theaters Amidst OTT Era
      Jr NTR's 'Devara' Achieves Rare 50-Day Milestone in Theaters Amidst OTT Era
      Previously, a movie's success was not just measured by its collections but also by how many days it ran in theaters. In the past, many hit films used to run for 50 days, 100 days, and some even celebrated 200 days functions. During the era of actors like Ramarao and Nageswararao, there were instances where movies were shown for a whole year. However, in the current OTT era, this situation has disappeared. Even films that collect hundreds of crores at the box office are moving to OTT within a month. Therefore, the talk of movies running for 50 days or 100 days is almost non-existent in the industry. However, Tarak's latest film 'Devara' has broken this silence. Let's see how. Devara... The Half Century Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Tarak, the Pan-India film 'Devara' was released worldwide on September 27 and has claimed success. The film grossed ₹500 crores at the box office. Recently, Devara achieved a milestone by being shown in 52 centers for 50 days (Devara 50 Days in 52 Centers). The makers released posters detailing this accomplishment, listing the theaters in the Ceded, Uttarandhra, Krishna, Nizam, East, West, Guntur, and Nellore areas that completed 50 days. It's special that 'Devara' managed a half-century in theaters even though it's available on OTT. Tarak's fans are proudly raising their collars seeing this. https://twitter.com/DevaraMovie/status/1857054185000153358 Trending on OTT as Well After creating a tsunami of collections at the box office, 'Devara' was recently brought to streaming by Netflix. From November 8, it has been available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and other South Indian languages. Shortly after its release, 'Devara' trended nationally on Netflix, and it continues to draw significant streaming minutes, a record for a Tarak film. Even a week into its OTT release, 'Devara' remains in the top 10, with many who have seen the movie rewatching it. Soon on Sets 'NTR 31' It's known that Tarak (Jr NTR) will be making a film with Kannada star director Prashanth Neel. The movie, tentatively titled NTR 31, is set to be a periodic action drama. The pre-production work is going on vigorously, promising a new level of characterization and performance from Tarak compared to his previous films. Plans are underway to start shooting as soon as pre-production is complete. Currently, Tarak is busy with the film 'War 2', a Bollywood movie starring Hrithik Roshan, in which Tarak will play a role with negative shades. Tarak's Movie with Rajini's Director? There's a strong buzz that Tarak will be making a movie with Tamil star director Nelson Dileep Kumar. Discussions related to the story have already taken place, and Tarak has reportedly responded positively to the script. An official announcement about this project is expected soon. Nelson Dileep Kumar recently directed 'Jailer', securing a solid hit with Rajinikanth in a powerful role. Currently busy with 'Jailer 2', Nelson may commence the Tarak project after that.

      Devara Box Office Rampage: Jr NTR’s Latest Film Nears ₹500 Crore Mark in Just 10 Days!
      The recent film featuring Jr NTR and directed by Koratala Siva, 'Devara: Part 1,' released worldwide on September 27, has secured a solid victory at the box office. Despite mixed initial reviews, the film showed remarkable strength in its collections, setting records from the very first day. Having completed 10 days since its release, the producers have officially announced the collections, and the figures have left everyone astounded, commenting on the unrelenting rampage of Devara. [toc] Approaching ₹500 Crore... In 'Devara,' Tarak was paired with Janhvi Kapoor, and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan played the villain. In terms of collections, the film has grossed ₹466 crore worldwide within these 10 days. The makers have released a special poster to announce this achievement. With blockbuster collections, the movie continues to perform well in theaters. In the Telugu states alone, the film grossed ₹193.55 crore, with Karnataka contributing ₹16.40 crore, Tamil Nadu ₹4 crore, Kerala ₹92 lakhs, and the rest of India, including Hindi regions, adding ₹29.80 crore. If this momentum continues, Devara is likely to hit the ₹500 crore mark over this weekend. First Day and Weekend Collections The Devara movie, starring NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, grossed over ₹172 crore on its opening day. It collected approximately ₹83.71 crore in the two Telugu states alone, making it the second film to achieve such high collections after 'RRR'. By the end of the first weekend, Devara had already reached the ₹300 crore mark, with a total of ₹304 crore grossed in just three days. Although collections gradually decreased thereafter, the film still managed to turn profitable for the distributors. With no major releases last week, Devara faced no significant competition this weekend, likely easing its path to the ₹500 crore mark. Profits from Sunday By the end of the second Saturday (September 5) shows, Devara had crossed the break-even point in almost all areas. From Sunday onwards, all collections are profits. The Dussehra holidays and the lack of other major releases provide a big advantage for Devara. The film's collections are also stable overseas. According to trade circles, Devara has started making profits in many regions including Kerala, Karnataka, Hindi-speaking areas, and the rest of India. This has brought immense joy to both the Devara team and Tarak's fans. Telugu Films That Crossed ₹500 Crore Several films from Tollywood have already grossed over ₹500 crore. What are these films? How many days did it take them to reach ₹500 crore? What are the overall collections? Who directed these films? Which star heroes acted in them? Let's find out now. Kalki 2898 AD Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, 'Kalki 2898 AD' shook the box office. The film grossed ₹555 crore within just four days of its release and went on to collect a total of ₹1200 crore, making it the highest-grossing film of the year. Animal The film 'Animal,' directed by Telugu director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, performed well at the box office. It collected over ₹500 crore in six days and ultimately grossed ₹917.82 crore. A sequel to this movie is also planned. Salaar Directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas, 'Salaar' caused a cash rain at the box office, joining the ₹500 crore club in just seven days and eventually grossing ₹700 crore. Malayalam star hero Prithviraj appeared as Prabhas's friend in the film. A sequel to Salaar is also in the works. RRR Directed by the legendary Rajamouli and starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, 'RRR' broke several records, grossing ₹570 crore in just three days and receiving widespread acclaim. Overall, this film collected ₹1,810 crore. Baahubali Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, 'Baahubali' changed the course of Tollywood and showcased its capabilities to the country for the first time. It joined the ₹500 crore club three weeks after its release and totalled between ₹600-650 crore in collections.

      'Devara' Box Office Rampage: Jr NTR's Latest Breaks Records with Rs. 300 Crore Weekend!
      The film 'Devara,' directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr NTR, was released worldwide on a grand scale this Friday (September 27). Despite mixed reviews, the overall reception has been positive. 'Devara' is being showcased to packed houses in all theaters. Audiences are praising Jr NTR's performance, Anirudh's music, and Koratala Siva's dialogues, contributing to a first-day collection of over Rs. 172 crores, demonstrating its box office strength. By the end of the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), let's see how much the film has collected. How much are the weekend collections? Starring Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, 'Devara' has created a storm at the box office. Three days post-release, the film shows no signs of slowing down in collections. Over the weekend, it grossed a staggering Rs. 304 crores (GROSS), officially announced by the makers through a poster. This news has left Tarak's fans ecstatic as 'Devara' continues its rampage at the box office. Already part of the 300 crore club, trade circles predict it will easily hit Rs. 500 crores by the end of the week. Region-wise performance The makers of 'Devara' have only announced worldwide collections. However, trade circles have attempted to estimate region-wise earnings. According to their data, in the two Telugu states, 'Devara' garnered Rs. 126.5 crores over three days. It collected Rs. 38.77 crores in Nizam alone and Rs. 17.90 crores in the Ceded region. In Karnataka, it earned Rs. 20.9 crores, in Tamil Nadu Rs. 5.9 crores, in Kerala Rs. 1.4 crores, and Rs. 35.3 crores in the rest of India. Overseas, it is reported to have made over Rs. 65 crores, marking the highest collections in Tarak's career. Day 1 collections set new records! 'Devara' has set a record for the highest day 1 collections in Jr NTR’s career as a solo hero. On its first day, it grossed over Rs. 172 crores worldwide, as officially announced by the makers with a special poster. This is a significant achievement post-'RRR' in Tarak's career. Trade circles reported that it made Rs. 83.71 crores on the first day in the two Telugu states alone, with Rs. 19.32 crores coming from Nizam, making it the second all-time highest after 'RRR'. Reasons for Devara's success! 'Devara' introduces a new world called 'Erra Samudram' created by director Koratala Siva. The film showcases Tarak in a one-man show, delivering exceptional performances as both Devara and his son Vara. Saif Ali Khan, playing the villain, also captivated audiences. Anirudh’s background score has been a major strength for the film, especially in action sequences. Director Koratala Siva impressed with his screenplay and dialogues. The way the action sequences were crafted, the interval bang, and the climax provided great entertainment. However, slow scenes and a weak love track could be seen as drawbacks. Devara's Story Set on a hill across four villages at the Andhra-Tamil Nadu border, known as 'Erra Samudram,' Devara (Jr NTR) along with Bhairava (Saif Ali Khan), Rayappa (Srikanth), and Kunjara (Shine Tom Chacko) are village heads. They smuggle goods through the sea without getting caught by the officials, handing them over to Muruga (Murali Sharma). Realizing the damage caused, Devara decides to stop the smuggling, which Bhairava opposes, leading to a conflict. Devara instills deep fear among his people, while Bhairava plans to kill him. Will Bhairava's plan succeed? What critical decision does Devara make to stop the smuggling? Why has his son Vara turned into a fearful figure? Who is killing the people trying to cross the sea? How does Vara's romance with Thangam (Janhvi Kapoor) unfold? What connects Devara to the gangster Yati? Watch the movie to find out.

      Netizens Lash Out as Tirumala Laddu Controversy Sparks Clash Between Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj
      Netizens Lash Out as Tirumala Laddu Controversy Sparks Clash Between Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj
      The issue of the Tirumala Laddu in Andhra Pradesh has become a topic of national discussion. The Chief Minister Chandrababu has even set up a special committee to look into it. Meanwhile, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan undertook an eleven-day penance. Recently, while on a visit to Vijayawada's Indrakeeladri, he also cleaned the steps there as part of his penance. During this period, Pawan lashed out at Prakash Raj. "Shouldn’t we speak up if there is injustice against Hinduism?" he argued, triggering a series of questions from Prakash Raj who has been targeting him without directly naming him. Prakash Raj stirs the fire! Actor Prakash Raj first shared his opinions on Twitter about the adulteration of Tirumala’s Laddu prasadam. In response to Pawan, who spoke about Sanatana Dharma during his penance in Vijayawada, Prakash warned that he wouldn't remain silent if one spoke as they pleased about the religion. Since then, he has targeted Pawan with a series of indirect criticisms under his posts titled ‘Just Asking’. His recent tweet questioned, "What do we want.. to stir up emotions among the people for political gain, or to delicately resolve issues with necessary, even severe, measures without hurting public sentiments? Just asking." https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Pawan - Karthi Issue Also Draws Comments During the 'Satyam Sundaram' pre-release event on Monday, actor Karthi's response to a question about the Tirumala Laddu controversy led to a dispute. When the anchor brought up laddus, Karthi jokingly said, "We shouldn't talk about laddus now. It's a sensitive topic... we don't need it." This provoked a harsh response from Pawan at the venue of Durga temple. He warned the film industry to speak respectfully or stay silent. Karthi immediately apologized to Pawan, but Prakash Raj poked at Pawan saying, "What joy there is in making someone apologize for no fault! Just asking..." He then tweeted another post: "One avatar before winning... another after winning. What’s this discrepancy? Why this confusion? Which is true?" implying criticism of changing stances. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Why so much venom? Netizens are intensely criticizing Prakash Raj for targeting Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan. They question why he is meddling in matters that don’t concern him. "If Pawan speaks about his adherence to Sanatana Dharma, how does that incite anyone?" they argue. They also question why Prakash did not speak out when Tamil Nadu CM Udhayanidhi Stalin criticized Hindus. They question the venom against Pawan when he fights for his beliefs. They assert that the Tirumala Laddu issue, related to Hindu faith, is none of Prakash Raj’s concern, especially as someone seen as opposing Hindu interests. They are also outraged over Prakash Raj’s tweet comparing the Tirumala Laddu to a bomb. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 This is Betrayal! Actor Prakash Raj has always had a good relationship with the Mega family. Megastar Chiranjeevi has often spoken of him as a brother. This year, the Mega family even supported his candidacy in the Movie Artists Association elections against Manchu Vishnu, with Chiranjeevi providing substantial encouragement and Nagababu actively campaigning for him. Despite this, netizens comment that Prakash Raj has betrayed the Mega family by targeting Pawan. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667 Will he become another Posani? Observing Prakash Raj’s series of tweets, netizens speculate that he might end up like Posani Krishna Murali, who after playing a significant role during the previous YSRCP government, repeatedly targeted the Mega family, especially Pawan Kalyan, with harsh criticisms. There’s talk that Posani lost film opportunities because of his conflicts with a powerful family in the industry. Analysts opine that if Prakash Raj continues in this manner, he might face similar circumstances. The ongoing Pawan vs Prakash Raj issue could lead to significant developments. https://twitter.com/HariiTweetz/status/1839538486115729667

      Mechanic Rocky Review: Can Vishwak Sen Deliver a Hat-Trick with This Love-Triangle Thriller?
      Mechanic Rocky Review: Can Vishwak Sen Deliver a Hat-Trick with This Love-Triangle Thriller?
      Cast: Vishwak Sen, Meenakshi Choudhary, Shraddha Srinath, Sunil, Naresh, Hyper Aadi, Harsha Vardhan, and othersWriter & Director: Raviteja MullapudiMusic: Jakes BejoyCinematography: Manoj Reddy KatasaniEditing: Anwar AliProducer: Ram TalluriRelease Date: November 22, 2024 Young hero Vishwak Sen has already impressed Telugu audiences this year with Gaami and Gangs of Godavari. Now, he returns with Mechanic Rocky, aiming to charm audiences once again. The film, co-starring Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath, was released grandly on November 22 under the direction of Raviteja Mullapudi. Let’s see how the film turned out and whether Vishwak scored a hat-trick. The Plot Rocky (Vishwak Sen) drops out of his B.Tech and joins his father Ramakrishna's (Naresh) garage as a mechanic. Alongside repairing vehicles, he also teaches driving. Maya (Shraddha Srinath) and Priya (Meenakshi Choudhary) join him to learn driving. During his college days, Rocky falls for Priya, but they part ways after he quits his studies. Years later, Rocky meets Priya again. Does he get closer to her? What shocking truths does Rocky discover about Priya? How does Maya influence their lives? Who is Ranki Reddy (Sunil), and what problems does he bring into Rocky’s life? The answers lie in the film. The Performances Vishwak Sen delivers yet another settled performance, impressing audiences with his energetic portrayal. His punchlines bring humor and charm to his character. Meenakshi Choudhary and Shraddha Srinath shine in their significant roles, with their chemistry and expressions stealing the spotlight. Their on-screen competition in certain scenes enhances the narrative. Vishwak and Meenakshi's chemistry works well, and their romantic track is engaging. Supporting actors like Sunil, Naresh, and Harsha Vardhan also have impactful roles, with Harsha Chemudu’s comedy bringing occasional laughs. Direction Director Raviteja Mullapudi combines a love triangle with a crime thriller, aiming to connect with today’s audience. While the story has strong elements, excessive commercial touches and unnecessary comedy dilute the impact. The first half focuses on character introductions, love tracks, and songs, making it feel somewhat routine and stretched. However, the second half gains momentum, with unexpected twists and turns that elevate the film. The narrative effectively portrays how middle-class dreams can be exploited by others. Had the first half been more engaging, the film could have become a blockbuster. Technical Aspects From a technical standpoint, the film excels. Jakes Bejoy’s background score significantly enhances the storytelling. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the essence of the film’s mood. However, the editing in the first half could have been sharper. The production values are impressive and align well with the film’s tone.
