      Prabhas to Play Parashurama in Upcoming Mythological Epic 'Ramayana'?
      Prabhas to Play Parashurama in Upcoming Mythological Epic 'Ramayana'?
      When you think of Prabhas, his physique is what immediately comes to mind for everyone. His stature has greatly aided his rise as a Pan-India star. When Prabhas performs an action sequence, it feels real to the audience. Not just action, his stature fits well even for mythological characters. Prabhas has already appeared as Lord Rama in 'Adipurush,' as Karna in 'Kalki 2898 AD,' and there's talk that he will be seen as Nandi in the upcoming 'Kannappa.' Amidst this, there’s exciting news related to Prabhas that he will also be portraying Parashurama soon. Let's dive into the details now. Prabhas as Parashurama! It’s known that a movie titled 'Ramayana' is currently being filmed in Bollywood, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The director, Nitesh Tiwari, wants to make the wedding scene of Sita and Rama a visual feast. In this context, the character of Parashurama is crucial, being the avatar that precedes Rama in the dashavatara (ten incarnations) of Vishnu. Nitesh thinks it fitting that a star of equal stature to Ranbir, who is playing Rama, should portray Parashurama. Hence, he is considering Prabhas for this role. There’s buzz in B-Town that Prabhas has been approached for this. Bollywood circles suggest that Prabhas has agreed to the role, with an official announcement expected soon. However, his role in the film is said to be brief but impactful. Star Couples as Villains Prabhas is set to work on a film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga (of 'Animal' fame), titled 'Spirit.' The script phase is already underway. Recently, there have been substantial reports that Kareena Kapoor will be acting in this film and that Saif Ali Khan will play a villain. The latest buzz is that Kareena Kapoor will also portray a character with negative shades in 'Spirit.' Real-life couple Kareena and Saif are rumored to be playing villains in this film, which awaits further confirmation. Police vs Mafia Don! 'Spirit' is rumored to feature Prabhas in a dual role, stirring strong buzz. The script work is said to be complete, with only the dialogues left to be finalized. If rumors are to be believed, Prabhas will be seen as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, with the latter having negative shades. Fans are confident that if this turns out to be true, it will be a blockbuster at the box office. In celebration of Prabhas’s birthday on October 10, a special poster is expected to be released, with 'Spirit' set to go on floors by January 25 of the next year. Meanwhile, Prabhas has previously done dual roles in movies like 'Billa,' 'Baahubali,' and 'Baahubali 2,' and is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming 'Raja Saab.' Periodical Love Story! Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi are known to be teaming up for a film. Recently, a puja ceremony was held concerning this movie, which is rumored to be a period action love drama. Set against the backdrop of the Razakars era, during the time of Hyderabad's accession to India, director Hanu Raghavapudi has reportedly crafted a beautiful love story. The film, tentatively titled 'Fauji' (meaning soldier), will reportedly feature Prabhas as an Indian paramilitary soldier. Iman Ismail is set to star as the heroine and has already participated in the recent puja events, capturing attention on social media with her looks.

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

      Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
      Bhumika Chawla's Heartbreaking Story: Replaced in 'Jab We Met' After Waiting a Year
      Bhumika Chawla was once a star heroine in Tollywood, acting alongside leading heroes like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Junior NTR, Ravi Teja, and Venkatesh. Her films such as 'Okkadu', 'Khushi', and 'Simhadri' were major hits in the industry. However, she recently shared a grievous insult she faced early in her Hindi film career. She revealed that she was abruptly removed from a project that she had high hopes for. Her comments about this incident have gone viral online. Now, let’s look at the details. Waited a Year.. Still Replaced! Bhumika Chawla's transformation into a film heroine began with the 2000 film 'Yuvakudu' starring Sumanth. She then gained recognition in Telugu as a star heroine through films like 'Khushi', 'Vasu', 'Okkadu', 'Missamma', and 'Simhadri'. After 'Simhadri', her first Hindi film 'Tere Naam' also turned out to be a success, leading to continuous offers in Bollywood, including 'Munna Bhai MBBS' and 'Jab We Met'. Bhumika revealed that she was initially selected as the heroine for 'Jab We Met'. She waited almost a year for this movie and did not accept other films to avoid date issues. However, she mentioned that initially, Bobby Deol was considered as the hero for 'Jab We Met', but later they brought in Shahid Kapoor instead. Subsequently, they also replaced her with Kareena Kapoor as the final choice. This deeply upset her, and she remarked that her career could have been different had she done the film. https://twitter.com/theBuzZBasket/status/1846077009803297009 Those Movies Gave Me Joy: Bhumika It appears that Bhumika Chawla also faced injustice with the Hindi film 'Munna Bhai MBBS'. Initially, she was considered for the heroine role opposite Sanjay Dutt. Due to unavoidable reasons, she was replaced by Vidya Balan. This film became a blockbuster hit in Hindi and was remade in Telugu as 'Shankar Dada MBBS' by Megastar, which was also a grand success. Despite losing these two opportunities, Bhumika recalled the success of her Telugu films 'Khushi', 'Okkadu', and 'Simhadri', which recently re-released and achieved good collections, bringing her joy. Was She Replaced Just for a Girlfriend? There are discussions in Bollywood circles suggesting a strong reason behind Bhumika’s removal from 'Jab We Met'. During the time of this movie, there were widespread reports of Shahid Kapoor being in a relationship with Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor. In this context, it is alleged that Shahid Kapoor provided his girlfriend with the opportunity by replacing Bhumika. However, Kareena later separated from Shahid and eventually married Saif Ali Khan. Some people believe that the directors and producers might have thought Kareena would be a better fit alongside Shahid Kapoor, which is why they made the switch at the last moment. Despite acting in several Hindi films thereafter, Bhumika did not achieve significant success. 21 Years Later.. Currently, Bhumika has begun her second innings in Telugu cinema, captivating audiences with key supporting roles in films like 'MCA (Middle Class Abbayi)', 'Savyasachi', 'Ruler', 'Paagal', 'Seetimaarr', 'Sita Ramam', and 'Butterfly'. She is also playing a pivotal role in the upcoming film 'Euphoria', directed by Gunasekhar. Notably, this is the first film she is doing with Gunasekhar after the blockbuster 'Okkadu', 21 years ago. She expressed her happiness about working with Gunasekhar again on her Instagram account, writing about the start of a new journey.

      Mahesh Babu’s Dramatic Transformation for SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29 Shakes Social Media!
      Mahesh Babu’s Dramatic Transformation for SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29 Shakes Social Media!
      It goes without saying that a film by SS Rajamouli always comes with high expectations. When paired with superstar Mahesh Babu, these expectations reach new heights. It's already known that Mahesh Babu is undergoing a significant makeover for the movie. His new look has been spotted in various contexts, sporting long hair and a beard, a dramatic change from his usual style. Recently, Mahesh wowed everyone again with a stylish new look. Photos related to this are currently shaking up social media. Mahesh Babu's Mind-Blowing Look! Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming project 'SSMB 29' (working title), a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and the legendary director SS Rajamouli. For this film, Mahesh has grown out his hair and beard and bulked up his body. Consequently, his recent appearances have gone viral. Once again, Mahesh Babu's looks are trending online. While heading abroad, he was spotted at the airport looking stylish in a cream-colored hoodie, black goggles, and a red cap, complementing his long hair and rough beard. Recently, photos of Mahesh and his wife meeting Telangana CM Revanth Reddy have surfaced, showing that his hair and beard have grown even bushier compared to his previous look. These photos have gone viral on social media. https://twitter.com/GulteOfficial/status/1843123055985635398 Staying Close to His Son? Superstar Mahesh Babu often travels abroad with his family. It's known that he has once again set off on an international trip. A viral video from the airport shows him with his wife Namrata and daughter Sitara. However, it seems he traveled to the US to be with his son Gautam during the Dussehra holidays. Fans are admiring Mahesh for the importance he places on his family. With 'SSMB 29' about to start, fans commend him for dedicating this time to his family. https://twitter.com/i/status/1843173118166356044 Is This Really Mahesh Babu's Look? Fans are going crazy over Mahesh Babu's latest look, praising him for resembling a Hollywood hero. Comments suggest that Mahesh's look for 'SSMB29' is nearly finalized. However, the Tollywood buzz indicates that this is the look Mahesh will sport in the movie. After letting his hair and beard grow out, Rajamouli is expected to call in a hair stylist from abroad to style Mahesh into four or five different looks. Which one Rajamouli finalizes will ultimately be the look used in the film. Thus, fans mistakenly thought the current look was the final one. Mahesh Enjoys Freedom! Rajamouli takes special care to ensure the looks of his film's heroes remain a secret. He typically sets conditions to prevent the reveal of the look during the shooting period. Stars like Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR followed this practice during the filming of 'Bahubali' and 'RRR.' Unlike them, Mahesh freely poses for cameras wherever he goes, revealing his makeover in some form. However, the reason Mahesh can roam freely is likely because this is not his final look. Once the final look is decided, Mahesh will probably take measures to avoid exposing it. Shooting Starts in December Currently, pre-production work for 'SSMB 29' is almost complete after several months of preparation. The entire team is expected to participate in a workshop by the end of this month. Rajamouli plans to start regular shooting from December. Furthermore, preparations are underway to begin the first schedule abroad, with a massive chase sequence planned in international forests. Given the global scale of the cinema, graphics work is crucial, and Rajamouli intends to finish these scenes first and then hand them over to the VFX team, ensuring that shooting and VFX work proceed in parallel.

      'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!
      'Thandel' Creates Buzz: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Reunite for a Spectacular Shivaratri Special!
      There is significant buzz in Tollywood about the movie 'Thandel', starring Akkineni Naga Chaitanya as the hero and Sai Pallavi as the heroine. This romantic action drama is shaping up after their blockbuster 'Love Story'. As this is the second film from the Chaitu-Sai Pallavi combo, expectations are high for 'Thandel'. Movie lovers are eagerly awaiting its release, and a thrilling update from 'Thandel' has just been released, delighting cinema fans. Shivaratri Special Song The film 'Thandel', directed by Chandu Mondeti and featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is currently in the shooting phase. A Shivaratri-themed song is being filmed, for which a massive set has been erected. The makers have reportedly spent around 4 crores to make this song a visual treat, involving hundreds of dancers. According to Filmnagar circles, Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya are set to dazzle with dance styles reminiscent of Shiva and Parvati. This is the first time a song of this scale with a Shivaratri theme has been composed in the history of Telugu cinema. Photos from the shooting spot released by the film unit are currently trending online, showcasing Chaitu and Sai Pallavi invoking the essence of Shiva and Parvati. https://twitter.com/ThandelTheMovie/status/1840612058691183016 Here is the story of Thandel 'Thandel', the 23rd film in Naga Chaitanya's career, features music by Devi Sri Prasad. In this movie, Naga Chaitanya appears as a fisherman. A group of fishermen from Srikakulam go to Veeraval in Gujarat for fishing and get caught by the Pakistan Coast Guard. The film unfolds with what happens next. The term 'Thandel' means a boat operator in Gujarati and is commonly used by the people in the villages along the Gujarat-Pakistan border, as revealed by director Chandu Mondeti in an interview. Chaitu’s Hopes Pinned on Thandel Currently, Naga Chaitanya has set all his hopes on his next film 'Thandel'. After 'Love Story', he has not had a proper hit, with his recent films 'Bangarraju', 'Thank You', 'Laal Singh Chaddha', and last year's 'Custody' being failures at the box office. Therefore, Naga Chaitanya is determined to find success with 'Thandel'. He has reportedly put in a lot of effort for his role as a fisherman. The film is being produced by Bunny Vas under the GA2 Pictures banner, presented by Allu Aravind, who also produced Naga Chaitanya's hit film '100% Love' under Geetha Arts. Sai Pallavi’s Projects Currently, Sai Pallavi has some exciting projects in hand. She is acting alongside Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan in the film 'Amaran', which is set to hit theaters on October 31. She is also part of the prestigious Bollywood project 'Ramayana', where she will be seen as Sita. It is reported that she is receiving remuneration of over 15 crores for this role. Additionally, news has surfaced that Sai Pallavi has been chosen as the heroine in an upcoming film by director Sekhar Kammula, featuring hero Nani.

      VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
      VD 12: Vijay Deverakonda Chilling in Sri Lanka, Viral Video of Him Steering a Boat!
      Vijay Deverakonda is one of the popular young heroes in Tollywood who has made a name for himself without any film background. He became an overnight star with the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’. His subsequent successes with 'Pelli Choopulu', 'Taxiwaala', and 'Geetha Govindam' secured his place in the Telugu film industry. However, his recent movies 'Liger', 'Kushi', and 'Family Star' did not do well at the box office. Currently, there are high hopes for his ongoing project 'VD12'. Vijay is currently in Sri Lanka shooting for 'VD12' and is having a chill time there. Vijay Chilling While Steering a Boat! The movie 'VD 12', a Vijay Deverakonda-Gowtam Tinnanuri combo, is currently being shot at a brisk pace in Sri Lanka. Vijay is working hard for his role in this new look for the movie while also enjoying his downtime. Videos of Vijay enjoying a boat ride in the waters have gone viral online. He shared a video of a sunset boat ride on his Instagram account, which has been widely shared and celebrated by his fans for his boat driving skills. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vijay Deverakonda (@thedeverakonda) The Movie Will Be in Two Parts... Producer Nagavanshi recently spoke about 'VD 12', mentioning that the movie will be released in two parts. "I am not taking any risks with Vijay Deverakonda’s film. The content justifies two parts, and based on the outcome of the first part, we will proceed with the second," he said, confident of a hit. This is the first time a Vijay Deverakonda film will be made in two parts, as all his previous films were single installments. If all goes as planned, fans might see sequels in Vijay's career too. Competition with Pawan! With the announcement of the release date of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on Monday (September 23), a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay seems likely. 'VD 12' is set to release next year on March 28, the same day as 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Fans of Vijay are gearing up for a big fight at the box office against a big star like Pawan. The producers close to Pawan, Sitara Entertainments, are producing 'VD 12', which might not push them to reschedule. Industry insiders speculate that it is unlikely for 'VD 12' to find a new release date given the circumstances. Vijay’s Future Projects! Currently, Vijay Deverakonda has a couple of exciting projects in hand besides 'VD 12'. Post 'Family Star', he is set to work on another project produced by Dil Raju and directed by Ravikiran Kola. Additionally, he is undertaking another project under the direction of Rahul Sankrityan, which is expected to be a period drama set in the Rayalaseema backdrop. Rashmika Mandanna is rumored to be cast opposite Vijay in this film.

      Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines
      Tollywood's Emerging Directors: Redefining the Role of Heroines
      In cinema, both the hero and the heroine are crucial, like the two eyes of a face. Nowadays, heroines seem to have less scope for substantive roles compared to the past, with some directors focusing films predominantly around the hero. Often, heroines appear primarily for songs and to add a visual appeal. Recent movies like 'Liger,' 'Mr. Bachchan,' and 'Double iSmart' have drawn criticism for focusing more on heroines' exposure than their acting skills. However, some young directors in Tollywood are attracting praise for portraying heroines with dignity, following the example set by Sekhar Kammula. Who are these directors? What films have they made? How have they portrayed their heroines? Let’s find out. Sekhar Kammula When you think of a sensible director in Tollywood, Sekhar Kammula is one of the first names that come to mind. He is known for creating beautiful love stories and engaging family dramas. The heroines in his films and the way they are portrayed remain memorable to the audience. Kamalinee Mukherjee in 'Anand' and 'Godavari' is a prime example, portrayed as the girl-next-door in a dignified manner. In 'Leader,' Richa Gangopadhyay, and in 'Life is Beautiful,' Shagun Kaur, left lasting impressions. Particularly in films like 'Fidaa' and 'Love Story,' Sai Pallavi's roles won hearts without relying on exposure, affirming Sekhar’s significant contribution to her becoming a star heroine. His understanding of how to extract authentic performances from actresses makes many heroines keen to work with him at least once. Hanu Raghavapudi Similar to Sekhar Kammula, director Hanu Raghavapudi takes great care in the portrayal of heroines. His films 'Andala Rakshasi,' 'Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha,' 'Padi Padi Leche Manasu,' and 'Sita Ramam' make it clear that he focuses on the substance of his heroines' roles. Actresses like Lavanya Tripathi, Mehreen, Sai Pallavi, and Mrunal Thakur under his direction have garnered significant acclaim. Mrunal Thakur, in particular, received rave reviews for her role in the beautiful love saga 'Sita Ramam,' achieving star status in Telugu cinema. Her character Sita in the film remains special to her, as stated in various interviews. Hanu has announced a project with Prabhas, introducing a new actress, Iman Ismail, to the Telugu screen, whose appearance has already generated considerable interest. Vivek Athreya Young director Vivek Athreya also seems to follow in Sekhar Kammula's footsteps regarding heroine portrayal. His recent film 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' with Nani, featuring Tamil actress Priyanka Arul Mohan, showcased her acting without resorting to glamour. His previous works, 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' emphasized dignified portrayals over skin show, with actresses like Nivetha Pethuraj, Nivetha Thomas, and Nazriya Nazim earning recognition for their roles. Shouryuv Director Shouryuv made his mark with the film 'Hi Nanna,' capturing hearts and earning praise for his sensitive portrayal. In the film, Nani stars alongside Mrunal Thakur, who was previously known in Bollywood for more glamorous roles. Shouryuv presented her as a quintessential Telugu girl without compromising her dignity throughout the film. Despite opportunities for skin show in songs, he chose not to take that route, maintaining the integrity of Mrunal's character. This approach left film critics impressed and hopeful that he will continue in this manner in his future projects. Tharun Bhascker Tharun Bhascker, a young director, has quickly become synonymous with youthful films. He has gained recognition in a short time with content that resonates with the youth, without ever giving in to the temptation to showcase glamour unnecessarily. Starting with his debut film 'Pelli Choopulu,' this aspect becomes clear. Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma's pairing in the film highlighted substantial acting over cheap thrills. This film significantly boosted Ritu Varma's popularity. After turning actor in several films, Tharun Bhascker has returned to directing with 'Keeḍa Cola,' continuing his tradition of dignified cinematic portrayals.

      Dulquer Salmaan's Rapid Rise in Tollywood: A New Competitor for Tier-2 Heroes
      Dulquer Salmaan's Rapid Rise in Tollywood: A New Competitor for Tier-2 Heroes
      Renowned hero Dulquer Salmaan has carved a unique identity for himself in the South Indian film industry. As the heir of Malayalam cinema legend Mammootty, Dulquer has quickly established his own separate fan base within a short period. Proving himself a worthy son with his remarkable acting skills, he has also made significant inroads into Tollywood, gaining a solid fan following. However, it appears that Dulquer is now shifting his focus entirely towards the Telugu industry. Announcing back-to-back projects in Telugu, he seems ready to give stiff competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin. Dulquer as a Rising Hero in Tollywood! With just two or three films, young hero Dulquer Salmaan has managed to achieve star hero status in Tollywood. His role as Gemini Ganesan in the Telugu film 'Mahanati', directed by Nag Ashwin, impressed everyone. His exceptional performance mesmerized the Telugu audience. Following this, he captivated viewers as a hero in the film 'Sita Ramam'. Playing a soldier, a lover, and a prisoner in an enemy country, his diverse performances have won the hearts of Telugu cinema-goers. Recently, he played a significant role in 'Kalki 2898 AD' starring Prabhas, portrayed as a mentor who plays a critical role in Prabhas's life, akin to the mythical figure Parashurama. Rumors suggest that Dulquer will continue his role in 'Kalki 2'. Recognition through Dubbed Films In addition to direct Telugu films, several movies in which he acted in Tamil and Malayalam were dubbed into Telugu. Dulquer Salmaan's films, up to nine in number, have reached Telugu audiences. Movies directed by Mani Ratnam like 'Ok Bangaram', and those he starred in with Sai Pallavi like 'Hey Pillagada', and 'Andamaina Jeevitham' have greatly attracted the Telugu youth, giving them a feeling of kinship with Dulquer. Action films like 'Kurup', 'Salute', and 'King of Kotha' also gained good will among the mass audience. With this, Dulquer has evolved into a hero who embodies a blend of class and mass appeal in the Telugu film industry. Aggression with New Projects With his star hero status in Telugu, directors and producers in Tollywood are keen to work with Dulquer. Consequently, he is actively engaging in Tollywood projects with enthusiasm. He is currently working with director Venky Atluri in the film 'Lucky Bhaskar', set to release on October 31. Additionally, he has agreed to a Pan-India project titled 'Aakashamlo Oka Tara' under the direction of Pavan Sadineni, which has already generated interest with its first look poster showing Dulquer in a farmer’s role. Meanwhile, he has started a new project under Rana's production titled 'Kantha', where he will be seen alongside Tollywood's rising beauty Bhagyashree Borase. Set in the 1950s, Rana plays a key role in this film directed by Tamil director Selvamani Selvaraj. https://twitter.com/vamsikaka/status/1817427815249133673 https://twitter.com/imwpolitikos/status/1833028992456089818 https://twitter.com/Chrissuccess/status/1832279694118400071 Strong Competition for Tier-2 Heroes! Given Dulquer Salmaan's momentum in Tollywood, it seems inevitable that he will pose strong competition to Tier-2 heroes like Ram, Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, and Nithiin. Film analysts believe that if at least two of his current three projects hit, his stature will significantly rise. With his classic looks and the capability to electrify action sequences, Dulquer is fast becoming a preferred choice for Telugu directors. Heroes suffering from a series of flops, like Naga Chaitanya, Ram, and Vijay Deverakonda, need to be cautious about the competition from Dulquer.

      HBD Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna's Birthday Special- Daring Hero!
      HBD Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna's Birthday Special- Daring Hero!
      Entering the industry as the heir of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna has undertaken experiments that no other hero would dare to attempt. He fearlessly moved forward in his career with a variety of unique films, earning a distinct recognition in genres ranging from mass and class to spiritual and romantic. He successfully introduced his sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, as the third generation from the Akkineni family into the industry. Behind Nagarjuna's success in the industry are some daring steps. Let's learn about them on the occasion of his birthday today (August 29). 'Siva' Sensation Typically, early in their careers, most heroes opt for safe stories. However, Nagarjuna made a big impact with the experimental film 'Siva'. He took a significant risk by giving Ram Gopal Varma, who had never even been an assistant director, a chance to direct. This daring step turned his career around, creating a sensation with 'Siva' in a way no one anticipated. This film not only changed the trajectory of Nag's career but also altered the course of Tollywood, challenging the traditional perceptions of a hero's role with 'Siva'. Diversity a Priority With 'Siva', Nagarjuna became a top hero in the industry. While typically a single hit film would set a repetitive pattern in stories, Nagarjuna planned his career to ensure diversity in every film. This strategy led him to star in a supernatural heist film 'Govinda Govinda', a family drama 'Ninne Pelladatha', and an action entertainer 'Hello Brother', continually delighting his fans and establishing a dedicated fan base, thereby solidifying his status as a star hero. 'Annamayya' At a time when peers like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh were dominating with commercial films, Nagarjuna shocked everyone by signing on to the devotional project 'Annamayya'. Already popular for his mass image, his decision to do a devotional film raised eyebrows within the industry. Committed to portraying diverse roles, Nagarjuna embraced the challenge without hesitation, delivering a performance in 'Annamayya' that became a landmark in his career. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, the film was a sensational success, capturing the true essence of Annamayya and earning two National Awards, nine Nandi Awards, and three Filmfare Awards. More Spiritual Films Following the success of 'Annamayya', Nagarjuna didn't stop there. While continuing to act in commercial films, he also starred in more devotional films. Films like 'Sri Ramadasu', 'Shirdi Sai', 'Om Namo Venkatesaya', and 'Jagadguru Adi Shankar' under the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna also achieved great success at the box office. Opportunities for Newcomers Nagarjuna has proven time and again that not only is giving chances to newcomers not a risk, but it can also lead to success. Throughout his extensive acting career, he has introduced around 40 directors to Tollywood. Directors like Ram Gopal Varma ('Siva'), YVS Chowdary (Sri Sita Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Raarandi), Lawrence ('Mass'), and Vijay Binni ('Naa Saami Ranga') are included in this list. Nagarjuna often credits these new directors for playing a pivotal role in his stardom. The First Pan-India Star from Telugu Cinema Director Krishna Vamsi, in an interview, made interesting remarks about Nagarjuna, describing him as the hero who took Telugu cinema global. Nagarjuna brought directors from various industries and produced diverse films with his own money, significantly altering the audience's perspective. He worked with directors like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Ravichandran, and Mahesh Bhatt from Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil industries, becoming a true Pan-India foundation. https://twitter.com/thokkaloteja/status/1828863171152757038 As the Host of Bigg Boss... Unlike most stars who shy away from television, Nagarjuna embraced it. He has been hosting the Telugu Bigg Boss show for several years, entertaining the television audience with his charm. While younger heroes like NTR and Tarak hosted for only a season, Nagarjuna has been continuously hosting, completing five seasons (Bigg Boss 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and is set to host the upcoming eighth season. He has also been notable as the host of the 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' game show. https://twitter.com/i/status/1829013612117230039 The Fitness Mantra Even at the age of sixty, Nagarjuna's fitness level amazes the younger generation of heroes. Maintaining his physique from his 'Siva' days, he continues to give tough competition to younger heroes. Nagarjuna often shares that his secret to looking great is his calm demeanor and regular workouts. Having debuted as a hero in 1986 with 'Vikram', Nagarjuna has now acted in over a hundred films. Currently, he is working under the direction of Shekhar Kammula in 'Kubera'.

      Samantha: Similarities to the Life of Legendary Actress Savitri?
      It is well known that Tollywood actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and star heroine Samantha got married in 2017 and separated in 2021 due to disagreements. Three years later, Naga Chaitanya is ready to remarry, this time to actress Sobhita Dhulipala. In this context, netizens are sympathizing with Samantha, intertwining her current situation and past incidents with the life of the legendary actress Savitri. They are drawing parallels between Sam's life and that of Savitri, posting about it extensively. Let’s explore what these posts are suggesting. What’s the Connection Between Samantha and Savitri’s Life? In 2021, during her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha was heavily targeted by the public. However, now that Chaitanya is preparing for his second marriage, netizens are expressing their sympathy towards Samantha on a large scale, comparing her situation with that of Savitri, who was a celebrated actress. At the peak of her cinema career, Savitri’s life was influenced by the already married actor Gemini Ganesan. By that time, Ganesan’s career was moderate compared to Savitri’s. Savitri, deeply in love, married Ganesan but later found him intimately involved with another woman. Unable to bear the betrayal, she fell into depression and became dependent on alcohol, which led to numerous health issues and prematurely ended her career. Netizens speculate that Samantha might have undergone a similar ordeal? They suggest that these struggles drove Samantha to divorce Chaitanya. https://twitter.com/vamccrishnaa/status/1822085950098505895/ ‘What’s So Special About Sobhita?’ If Samantha Does It, It’s Wrong… If Sobhita Does It, It’s Right? Samantha was heavily criticized for her bold roles in films, which some claimed were the reason for her divorce. Now, there’s a keen interest in Sobhita's screen presence as Naga Chaitanya prepares to marry her. Netizens are pointing out that Sobhita has acted in more bold scenes than Samantha, citing her roles in the bold web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intense performances in 'The Night Manager', where she appeared in bikini and intimate scenes. Recently, in 'The Monkey Man', Sobhita was again seen in bold portrayals. This has led to questions about why Naga Chaitanya would divorce Samantha for being bold in her roles, only to marry Sobhita, who has portrayed even bolder scenes. Did You Know This About Sobhita? Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh. She became the Femina Miss India in 2013. She entered the Bollywood scene with the 2016 movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0'. Following that, she gained recognition with movies like 'Chef' and 'Kaalakaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita made her Tollywood debut with 'Goodachari', charming the Telugu youth audience. She then played key roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', earning praise for her performances. Recently, she acted in the American film 'Monkey Man'. She is currently involved in a Hindi film titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Tandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Naga Chaitanya’s Reaction Is This! Amidst the heavy trolling over his engagement with Sobhita, Naga Chaitanya responded. On Instagram, he reposted the engagement photos and an interesting caption shared by Sobhita. He added, "What does my mother become to you? What relation is my father to you? No matter how we come together, our hearts are raining like the red earth. They have merged inseparably," quoting from a poem by the Tamil poet Kurunthogai. This post, supported by Akkineni, has left Sam's fans quite upset.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sobhita (@sobhitad)

After "Kalki," while he was set to act in "Spirit" directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it seems Prabhas has been shooting extensively for "The Raja Saab." Known for enthralling audiences with mass action films, Darling seems to have taken a break to choose the romantic horror genre. They are ready to release "The Raja Saab" first, which is being filmed in this genre. Surprise at 5 PM The promotional images already released from this film have captivated audiences and fans alike.

"Fauji" is expected to be a period drama set in the 1940s, depicting the British era. Mrunal Thakur is likely to appear as the heroine opposite Prabhas.
