![Anasuya Bharadwaj: 'How can one be so incompetent?' Anasuya Bharadwaj’s Post Goes Viral!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/25172838/Untitled-design-2024-07-25T161245.863-1.jpg)
Anasuya Bharadwaj: 'How can one be so incompetent?' Anasuya Bharadwaj’s Post Goes Viral!
Anasuya Bharadwaj, a prominent TV anchor and actress, is well-known in the entertainment industry. She started her career with the show "Jabardasth" and rose to stardom through her roles in films like 'Rangasthalam' and 'Pushpa'. Recently, Anasuya has been a target for netizens whenever she voices her opinions. Unwilling to retreat, she frequently responds robustly on social media. In her latest fiery post on X (formerly Twitter), she targeted certain hero fans, sparking widespread discussion and turning it into a hot topic.
Anasuya’s Shocking Post
Once again, Anasuya, shining both on the small screen and the silver screen, has become a hot topic on social media. In a recent post on X, she lashed out at some individuals for their incompetence. "How can you be so incompetent? Whatever I say, you turn it into a troll fest. You only talk about that topic. If you have the guts, show it against them, not me. But you won't do that because you can't. All you can do is harass women like your hero, sadly. I pray that you all recover soon," she wrote. The post has caused confusion as it didn’t tag anyone, leaving netizens puzzled over who she was targeting.

Was it Directed at Vijay Deverakonda?
Anasuya, alongside Jagapathi Babu, stars in the film 'Simba', directed by Murali Manohar with a story by Sampath Nandi. At the film's trailer launch event on Wednesday, journalists questioned her about a scene in the trailer and brought up a potential conflict with Vijay Deverakonda. Anasuya clarified that she had no major issues with Vijay and that her comments that day were about stage manners. "I only said we should behave properly when in the limelight. I don’t have any personal issues with anyone," she clarified. Her remarks made hours ago are shocking given the timing of her fiery posts. There is speculation within industry circles that the post might have been directed at Vijay Deverakonda.
Similar Incidents in the Past
This is not the first time Anasuya has made such aggressive posts. In the past, she fiercely responded to netizens who called her "Aunty." When one netizen asked why it angered her, she said that words can have different meanings to different people. On another occasion, she stunned everyone on Instagram with a bold caption alongside her glamorous photos. "I am a woman, unafraid, sexy, invincible, creative, and I can teach you something... I can love you," she wrote. Posts like these have frequently made Anasuya trend on social media recently.

![When Titans Talk: Vijayendra Prasad’s Candid Call to Puri Jagannadh](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/12174107/123.-2024-08-12T153926.523.jpg)
When Titans Talk: Vijayendra Prasad’s Candid Call to Puri Jagannadh
Puri Jagannadh is one of the star directors in Tollywood. There was a time when a movie from Puri meant theaters were bustling with mass audiences and his signature dialogues would electrify the youth. However, the frenzy for Puri's films has waned recently. Blockbusters like 'Pokiri', 'Businessman', and 'Temper' have not been forthcoming. His latest film 'Liger' was a significant failure, drawing widespread criticism. Fans are longing for the return of the old Puri. In this context, it's reported that Vijayendra Prasad, a prominent writer and father of Rajamouli, has scolded Puri. Director Puri himself shared this incident.
"Tell me before you make a movie"
In the upcoming movie directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring Ram Pothineni, titled 'Double iSmart', an exciting event occurred during the pre-release event held in Hanamkonda on Sunday, August 11. The film is set to meet audiences on August 15. At the event, Puri shared an intriguing detail, "When a movie is a hit, many call to congratulate. I also received a call for a flop movie. It wasn’t just anybody; it was Vijayendra Prasad. He asked if he could help me. His son Rajamouli is a top director, so I wondered how I could possibly help. He then asked, 'When is your next film? Will you tell me the story whenever you make it?' I understood why he was saying this. He couldn’t bear to see directors like me fail. You all make small mistakes. So, tell me before you make a film," he said. Puri was moved by his words and said he could never forget that call made out of affection for him. However, he did not share the story with him. "I wanted to be cautious and only show him the movie," Puri said.

The story must be told!
Director Vijayendra Prasad, father of S.S. Rajamouli, has a profound admiration for director Puri Jagannadh. He has expressed his preference for Puri among directors in a past interview and even showcased using Puri’s photo as his mobile wallpaper. Despite this esteem, Puri recently revealed that he declined to narrate a story to Vijayendra Prasad, which has sparked intense reactions online. Netizens are questioning why Puri would not engage with the writer who provided stories for blockbuster films like 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'. They argue that Vijayendra Prasad could have identified errors in the 'Double iSmart' script, suggesting it would have been prudent for Puri to have shared the story with him to avoid risk.
We need some clarity!
During the 'Double iSmart' pre-release event, hero Ram Pothineni made some compelling remarks for those who stop going to theaters after seeing negative reviews. "Many of us don't respect our own opinions. If we like the biryani at a restaurant, we shouldn't doubt our taste just because others didn't like it. I enjoyed it, so I think it's good. The same goes for movies and your career. Don’t change your opinion because of others. If we always compare ourselves to others' opinions, we can’t accomplish anything. I'm telling all this because you are my people," Ram said. These energetic star's comments have been widely endorsed by the majority of netizens.

A Two-Year Romance
The engagement between Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita didn't surprise anyone as there have been rumors of their relationship for some time. Chay and Sobhita have reportedly been dating for the past two years, and their holiday trip photos have widely circulated online, winning the hearts of Akkineni fans. Thus, everyone expected them to eventually marry, and as anticipated, their engagement was celebrated grandly in the presence of friends and relatives.
Divorce with Samantha
It’s well known that Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star heroine Samantha, whom he met during the film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', which blossomed into love. They got married in 2017 and were celebrated as the best couple. However, after four years, conflicts arose, shocking their fans, and in 2021, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha parted ways. Now, each living their separate lives, Chaitanya’s readiness to remarry has delighted Akkineni fans.
Did You Know These About Sobhita?
Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, and emerged as the winner of the Femina Miss India title in 2013. She entered the film industry with the Bollywood movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016. Following that, she gained recognition with films like 'Chef' and 'KaalaKaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita was introduced to Tollywood through the film 'Goodachari', captivating the Telugu youth audience with her charm. She later played significant roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', receiving accolades for her performances. Recently, she also starred in the American film 'Monkey Man'. Currently, she is working on a Hindi movie titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti.
Sobhita is Bolder than Samantha!
There was intense speculation that Samantha’s bold role in 'The Family Man' web series led to their divorce, among other reasons like her item song in the movie 'Pushpa'. However, now Sobhita Dhulipala, who is set to marry Naga Chaitanya, has sparked interest for her on-screen presence, having performed more boldly than Samantha in several scenes. Netizens recall her daring performance in the web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intimate scenes there. She also made a splash in 'The Night Manager' and 'Monkey Man' with bold and intimate scenes. Now, netizens are questioning how Naga Chaitanya, who divorced Samantha for her bold scenes, is set to marry Sobhita, who is known for even bolder roles.

![Devara: A Gripping Tale with High Expectations, But Will Its Runtime Test Audiences?](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/04141758/Untitled-design-2024-09-04T140809.914.jpg)
Devara: A Gripping Tale with High Expectations, But Will Its Runtime Test Audiences?
The film 'Devara: Part 1,' starring Jr NTR, is garnering nationwide expectations. Directed by Koratala Siva, this film is set to hit the screens in exactly 23 days, greeting global audiences on September 27. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak, with Hindi cinema stalwarts Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol playing villainous roles, generating significant buzz for the film. Amidst this, recent news about the runtime of 'Devara' is circulating online, causing concern among Tarak's fans.
What is the runtime?
In the works under the combination of Tarak and Koratala, 'Devara' is currently in the midst of post-production. Reports suggest that the film's runtime has been finalized. The industry is abuzz that the Devara team has locked a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes. Fans are expressing concern, fearing that such a lengthy duration might be cumbersome. Most films exceeding 3 hours have struggled to engage audiences. However, it's too soon to declare this as Devara's final runtime since the movie still has to undergo censorship review. There's a possibility that the duration might reduce if the censor board decides to make cuts.
Will Koratala's magic work?
Regardless of the cuts made by the censor board, analysts believe that Devara’s runtime is unlikely to be less than 3 hours. The success of the film is expected to hinge on Koratala's screenplay. Considering his past directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Bharat Ane Nenu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Srimanthudu', Koratala's direction prowess is well recognized. He has successfully turned simple storylines into gripping dramas with engaging screenplays. If he repeats this magic in 'Devara', it could be a delight for the fans. The recently released 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also had a runtime of nearly 3 hours, yet managed to impress with its excellent action drama and the direction skills of Vivek Athreya, combined with the outstanding performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah.
Films Affected by Long Durations!
Recent releases like 'Bharateeyudu 2', 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', and 'Ante Sundaraniki' arrived with lengthy runtimes and received a lukewarm response. Despite 'Bharateeyudu 2' being set aside, the other two films had good content but failed to captivate the audience. In 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', although Ravi Teja delivered a commendable performance, the extended duration resulted in a dragging sensation among the audience. 'Ante Sundaraniki' faced similar criticism despite its unique concept of challenges faced by a couple from different faiths. The excessive length was perceived as making the movie feel like a serial.
New Poster Release
Today marks the release of the third song from the film Devara. Having already released the first single, 'Fire Song', and the second single, 'Chuttamalle', both songs are trending on YouTube. However, the makers have announced that a third single titled 'Daavudi' will be released this evening at 5:04 PM. In line with this, a special poster featuring Tarak and Janhvi Kapoor in a romantic pose has also been released, captivating the audience.
https://twitter.com/DevaraMovie/status/1831219654229913706
Is this the story of 'Devara'?
It is reported that the plot of 'Devara' is based on real-life incidents as penned by director Koratala Siva. According to the latest buzz, the film portrays a brutal massacre of Dalits, drawing from events that once shook united Andhra Pradesh. It is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits fell victim to upper caste violence in 1985. Reliable sources confirm that Koratala Siva has planned to showcase this real-life incident in 'Devara,' significantly heightening expectations for the film. Currently, there is no official clarification from the film unit regarding the ongoing speculation on social media.

Arshad Warsi: Nag Ashwin Responds to Comments
The comments made by Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi about Pan-India star Prabhas have caused significant uproar at the national level. Warsi compared Prabhas's character in the movie "Kalki 2898 AD" to a joker, sparking widespread criticism from fans and celebrities alike. Accusations are flying that Bollywood can't handle the success of Tollywood movies at the Pan-India level, showing jealousy, resentment, and envy. Amidst this, "Kalki's" director Nag Ashwin responded. His post on platform X has now become a hot topic.
'Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully'
Recently, Nag Ashwin reacted to Arshad Warsi’s comments. A netizen posted a scene from "Kalki," captioning it as equivalent to the entire Bollywood industry. Nag Ashwin replied, advising against dividing lines like Tollywood versus Bollywood and urged everyone to move forward together, stating that we are all part of one industry. "Arshad should have spoken more thoughtfully, but no worries. We will send Kalki toys for his children. I will work harder on the second part of Kalki and make sure Prabhas looks his best," he tweeted. Nag Ashwin emphasized ignoring hatred and moving forward, which Prabhas also advocates.

Arshad Receives Sharp Retort from Nani
Hero Nani also responded in his style to the comments Arshad Warsi made about Prabhas, noting that Warsi had never received such publicity before. These comments have also gone viral online. Bollywood audiences and Warsi's fans strongly criticized Nani's remarks. While promoting the Hindi version of "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" in Mumbai, Nani spoke to the media and retracted his statements, reflecting on his words. He reminded everyone that Arshad, widely recognized from the "Munna Bhai" series, should be careful with his words when speaking as an actor.
'Anti-Indian Arshad'
Social media is ablaze with Prabhas's fans attacking Arshad Warsi, digging up his controversial past posts. A netizen uncovered a tweet from 2012 where Arshad mentioned he was going to Afghanistan for a meeting and might move there, claiming it was safer than India. Another netizen retweeted this with a humorous image of Brahmi in a terrorist getup, making the post viral with tags like 'Anti-Indian Arshad.' Some comment that this is what happens when you mess with Prabhas.

Strong Counter from Telugu Heroes
Sudheer Babu recently responded to Arshad Warsi’s comments about Prabhas in his unique style. He condemned Warsi's lack of professionalism, expressing surprise that such words could come from him and stating that small-minded people could not touch a statue-like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also criticized Warsi, indirectly scolding him and highlighting Prabhas's secure position in the industry. "Without Prabhas, there would be no Kalki movie. His role was truly marvelous, perhaps that's why they are jealous," he wrote on X.

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.

‘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'.

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.

RGV Comments On SSMB29
The entire nation is eagerly anticipating the upcoming film starring the dynamic duo of director SS Rajamouli and actor Mahesh Babu. Both fans of Mahesh Babu and general movie enthusiasts, as well as celebrities, are highly excited about this project. However, director Ram Gopal Varma, who is known for stirring controversies, has already made some intriguing comments about 'SSMB29'. His high praise for the film prior to its making has generated significant buzz online. Let's explore what Varma had to say.
'Baap of All'
Director Ram Gopal Varma, who has become synonymous with controversies, recently made headlines again during an interview. He lavished praise on the upcoming Mahesh-Rajamouli film, proclaiming 'SSMB29' as the 'Baap of All'. Varma highlighted that Rajamouli has put significant effort into this film following 'RRR'. He confidently stated that the film would exceed all expectations. His comments have gone viral on social media, extensively shared by Mahesh’s fans.

Luxury Life Beyond Rajamouli: RGV
Varma also praised director Rajamouli, mentioning that even Bollywood films couldn’t match the collections of 'Baahubali'. He stated, “Rajamouli's success isn’t just about Telugu cinema; it's all about him. Perhaps he would have made the same impact no matter where he was born. The action sequences in 'RRR' are incredibly unique. It's because of 'RRR' that many countries learned about Indian cinema. No matter how big a hit his films are, Rajamouli doesn’t boast. I lead a more luxurious life than Rajamouli.” These comments by RGV have also trended on social media.
Regarding Hardik Pandya’s Divorce...
Recently, the news about Hardik Pandya and Natasha Stankovic's divorce was announced. Varma responded in his unique style, stating, "If marriages are decided in hell, divorces are decided in heaven. It’s better to hire a nurse for care than to marry. Divorce cases are increasingly becoming common. It’s foolish for poor people to spend money on this. If love blinds you, marriage will surely open your eyes." These posts too went viral on social media.

Mahesh has never played a double role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, making this update particularly intriguing to his fans. The truth of these rumors needs to be confirmed by Rajamouli’s team.

Hit 3 Movie: Rana Daggubati as a Psycho Killer... Ready for a Big Fight with Nani!
In Tollywood, young heroes such as Nani and Daggubati Rana are highly popular among both youth and family audiences, thanks to their distinctive acting styles across various genres. Off-screen, Nani and Rana are known to be good friends. But what if these beloved actors were to become adversaries on screen? The idea of them challenging each other in a film is quite thrilling. This concept is no longer just imagination; it's set to become a reality. There is a strong buzz that they will star as hero and villain in an upcoming crime thriller. Let's explore what makes this so special.
In the Hit 3 movie...
The "Hit" series in Tollywood, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, including "Hit: The First Case" and "Hit 2: The Second Case," has been very successful. These films have significantly boosted the careers of actors Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh. Following this series, the ending of the second part has already set Nani up as the hero for the upcoming part 3. Movie lovers have been eagerly awaiting the start of "Hit 3." After a long wait, there's an exciting update about "Hit 3." There's strong speculation that Rana Daggubati will appear as Nani’s antagonist. This news has currently become the talk of Tollywood.
Rana as a Psycho Killer?
Looking at the first two movies of the "Hit" series, both revolve around serial killings, a psycho killer, and a police investigation backdrop. "Hit 3" is also expected to follow a similar theme. In it, Nani is set to appear as a powerful police officer. Rana’s role is rumored to be just as formidable. Rana has reportedly responded positively to his character description. There’s buzz online that Rana will appear as a brutal psycho killer in "Hit 3," and his role is said to be quite terrifying. An official announcement regarding this is expected to be made soon.
Title Change..!
Natural Star Nani's last two films, "Dasara" and "Hi Nanna," were successful, encouraging him to aim for a hat-trick of hits. His upcoming film, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release soon with Priyanka Mohan in the lead female role. Previously, their collaboration in "Gang Leader" received mixed reviews, although Nani and Priyanka received high praise. "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" is scheduled for a pan-India release, with versions in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada. The film will be titled "Saturday" in languages other than Telugu. It is expected to hit theaters on August 29.
Crazy Combo Locked..!

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.

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.

Nag Ashwin Sparks Debate: Arjuna vs. Karna in 'Kalki 2898 AD
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been released to high expectations and is currently making waves at the box office. Directed by the renowned Nag Ashwin and featuring pan-India star Prabhas, this movie is captivating audiences from all demographics. By blending futuristic elements with mythology, 'Kalki' has garnered widespread positive feedback. However, some online critics accuse Nag Ashwin of distorting the myths, specifically expressing dissatisfaction with the depiction of Karna, an ally of the Kauravas, as stronger than Arjuna. Nag Ashwin has uniquely responded to these criticisms.
Netizens' Questions About Kalki!
On social media platforms, there is criticism regarding the portrayal of Karna's character in the climax of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Comments suggest that showing Karna returning is a distortion of the traditional myths. Some argue that while it makes sense for Ashwatthama, who is immortal, to return, and that he supports the divine during the era of Kalki's avatar as mentioned in the scriptures, there is no scriptural reference to Karna returning in the future. Netizens are challenging this depiction, arguing that the director has specifically made a mistake with Karna's character. They are also discontent with how Arjuna's character has been downplayed in favor of Karna, who sided with the Kauravas. This has led to questions about the film's portrayal: If Karna is depicted as great, does that imply Arjuna is not?
'That's Why I Highlighted Karna'
Director Nag Ashwin recently addressed questions concerning the portrayal of Karna in the film 'Kalki.' When asked why he chose to highlight Karna so prominently, he explained, "Many people adore Karna in the Mahabharata. There are numerous people in this country who admire and respect his character, which is why I chose to highlight him." This explanation has resonated with some netizens, who remember that the scriptures also commend Karna as a valiant hero, affirming that Nag Ashwin's depiction of him is accurate.
Karna vs Arjuna: Who is Greater?
When journalists posed the question of who is greater, Arjuna or Karna, to Nag Ashwin, he gave an evasive response. "Let’s set aside who is greater between Arjuna and Karna. The fact that we are discussing the Mahabharata is good, isn’t it? It means everyone is learning about it," he commented. Some netizens strongly disagree with this approach, arguing that it sidesteps the question of dharma, which clearly favors Arjuna. They criticize this as potentially misleading to the audience and insist that misleading viewers is not justifiable.
'Kalki 2' Release Date?
Following the great success of 'Kalki 2898 AD,' anticipation is building for the release of its sequel. Recently, producer Ashwani Dutt spoke about the plans for 'Kalki Part-2.' "The shooting for 'Kalki Part-2' might begin by the end of this year," he revealed, adding that they plan to release the movie in theaters by the summer of 2025. This news has Prabhas' fans celebrating. On social media, fans are eagerly commenting, "Give us an official update soon" and "Waiting for Part 2."

![Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/02112352/Prabhas-New-Projects.jpg)
Prabhas New Projects: Prabhas Keeps His Promise with Three Films Simultaneously on the Sets!
Pan-India star Prabhas is making rapid strides with a series of films. With back-to-back hits, he stands unmatched in stature among national cinema stars. Having recently hit the ₹1200 crore mark with his project 'Kalki', Prabhas has once again proven his box office prowess. Moreover, he's on a roll announcing consecutive pan-India projects. Following a strategy once employed by superstar Krishna, he's fully focused on his films. Prabhas is set to keep his promise to fans by launching three films at once. Let's explore more about this in this special report.
Prabhas' Promise!
Prabhas has become synonymous with pan-India films. Every film he takes on escalates to a national project. Until 'Adipurush' (2023), Prabhas would spend at least two years on each film, a pattern that began with 'Baahubali' in 2015. There was a two-year gap between 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', and a three-year interval between 'Saaho' (2019) and 'Radhe Shyam' (2022), which initially disappointed fans. Frustrations grew over the gaps between his films. Understanding his fans' disappointment, Prabhas promised to release at least one film per year going forward. Keeping his word, he's been vigorously announcing new projects.
Superstar Krishna’s Strategy!
Prabhas is much more focused on his projects than before, ditching the consecutive project routine to adopt a strategy used by superstar Krishna, who used to work on three or more films simultaneously. Prabhas is now preparing to bring three projects to the sets simultaneously, following in Krishna's footsteps. Indeed, during 'Salaar', he also engaged in shooting 'Kalki 2898 AD', releasing both within a span of six months. Currently, Prabhas is working on 'Raja Saab' directed by Maruthi. He has also recently launched a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi and is planning to start 'Spirit' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga by November. Prabhas is planning to participate in the shootings of these three films simultaneously and release each within a year. Additionally, there's potential to launch 'Salaar 2' and 'Kalki 2' next year.
India’s No.1 Hero: Prabhas
A recent July report by Bollywood media firm Ormax listed the most popular heroes, with Prabhas securing the number one position. Following Prabhas, Tamil star Vijay and Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan filled the next top spots, with superstar Mahesh Babu and Junior NTR also featuring prominently. Prabhas has consistently topped these lists since May and June, much to the delight of fans and movie enthusiasts. Comments are flooding the internet celebrating Prabhas' ascension as the number one star, surpassing other Bollywood heroes.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram Day 1 Collections
Natural Star Nani continues to impress with a variety of films. His latest, 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' directed by Vivek Athreya, was released on August 29 and received widespread positive feedback. Alongside Nani, S.J. Suryah's role as the villain has been particularly praised by audiences, though some aspects have been critiqued on social media. Overall, Nani's film has garnered positive reviews and achieved impressive first-day earnings. Let's look at the details now.
What are the first day collections?
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,' featuring Nani and Priyanka Arul Mohan, has met expectations on its first day at the box office, collecting ₹20.3 crores (GROSS) worldwide. The film earned ₹8.8 crores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone. Overseas, it gathered ₹7.6 crores. Additionally, it made ₹1.4 crores in Karnataka and ₹2.5 crores in the rest of India. Given the positive reviews, the film is expected to maintain solid earnings over the weekend. The spike in ticket bookings following the film's success is attributed to its hit status.
Less than 'Dasara'!
Nani's previous film, 'Hi Nanna,' grossed ₹10.5 crores on its opening day. 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' has doubled those earnings, a notable achievement. However, it still falls short of Nani’s earlier film 'Dasara,' a high-voltage action drama directed by Srikanth Odela, which made over ₹38 crores on its first day, marking the highest opening in Nani's career. Compared to 'Dasara,' 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' earned about ₹18 crores less, yet it still holds the record for the second-highest opening in Nani's career.
Highlights of the Film
Recognized as a classic director for films like 'Mental Madhilo,' 'Brochevarevarura,' and 'Ante Sundaraniki,' Vivek Athreya has introduced his rustic mass appeal with this film. Diverging from his usual style, he crafted captivating action sequences that have won accolades. The performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah, the action scenes, and the background score by Jakes Bejoy are highlights of the film. Particularly, the Tom and Jerry-style confrontations between the hero and the villain have delighted audiences. However, the film's excessive length, lack of twists, absence of commercial elements, and predictable storyline have been pointed out as drawbacks.
'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' Story
Surya (Nani) works as an LIC agent who cannot tolerate injustice. He chooses Saturday to express his anger. Meanwhile, the people of Sokulapalem are suffering. Police officer Daya (S.J. Suryah), wielding his authority, oppresses them with cruelty. Amidst dramatic events, Surya decides to stand up for the people of Sokulapalem. How does he confront the brutal police officer? What challenges does he face in this process? Why does Surya specifically become active on Saturdays? What is the love track with Priyanka Mohan? Who wins in the showdown between the hero and the villain? This is the story.

Pushpa 3: Exciting Good News for Bunny Fans . Stunning Update on 'Pushpa 3'!
The film 'Pushpa' (Pushpa: The Rise) directed by Sukumar, featuring Allu Arjun as the hero, was released in 2021 and achieved success on a pan-India level. After nearly a three-year hiatus, Bunny is set to return with 'Pushpa 2' (Pushpa 2: The Rule). The film is slated for a grand worldwide release on December 6. However, Allu Arjun's recent comments at a movie function have stirred controversy. Mega fans are fuming over comments targeting the Mega family, while the Allu Army is responding in kind. Amidst this, a high-voltage power update has emerged for Bunny's fans. Let's see what it is.
Crazy Update on Pushpa 3
As known, actor Rao Ramesh appeared in a key role in the 'Pushpa' film. He made a significant impact in his brief appearance as MP Bhumireddy. In a recent interview, while discussing his role in 'Pushpa 2', Rao Ramesh also provided a crazy update on 'Pushpa 3'. "They shot just one scene to tell the entire story of 'Pushpa'.

Hint in the Climax!
Currently, another news is making rounds online regarding 'Pushpa 3'. There is a strong buzz in the film circles that the climax of 'Pushpa 2' will contain an update about Part 3. Moreover, it is said that some scenes related to Part 3 will also be shown. However, 'Pushpa 3' might not start immediately as Bunny and Sukumar may take a gap of two to three years. Both Bunny and Sukumar have other commitments; Sukumar has already announced a movie with Ram Charan, and Bunny has projects with directors Trivikram and the Tamil star director Atlee. In this context, it's reported that 'Pushpa 3' might be delayed.
Better than the First Part
It is known that 'Pushpa 2' is set to face the audience on December 6. Already, glimpses, first and second single lyrical songs related to this movie have been released by the makers. Recently, director Sukumar spoke about 'Pushpa 2', increasing the hype for the film. He clarified that the second part would surpass the first part. He mentioned that many questions left unanswered in the first part would find their resolution in 'Pushpa 2'. Especially the games Pushpa Raj plays with the syndicate, emotional scenes, and the drama between Pushpa Raj and Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat will entertain the audience, he revealed.
The 'KGF' Formula!
Director Sukumar and hero Allu Arjun are said to be following the 'KGF' formula for 'Pushpa 3'. The film 'KGF', directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Yash, was a pan-India success. Soon after, they launched 'KGF 2'. Following this, Prashanth Neel directed another film, 'Salaar', with Prabhas, and Yash is currently busy with a pan-India project titled 'Toxic'. Observing the latest updates on 'Pushpa 3', it seems Sukumar and Bunny are also following Prashanth Neel and Yash. They plan to finish their current projects first and then proceed with 'Pushpa 3'.

![Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/24170101/123.-2024-08-24T135841.112.jpg)
Kalki Vs Rayaan OTT: 'Rayaan' Surprises 'Kalki' with National Level Trending!
The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, created a sensation at the box office, garnering over Rs. 1200 crores. Many were eagerly awaiting its OTT release. On Thursday (August 22), 'Kalki' became available for streaming on two platforms. It was expected to dominate OTT as well, but unexpectedly, it faced stiff competition from 'Rayaan.' This surprising turn of events has shocked Prabhas’s fans.
Rayaan Outshines Kalki!
The film 'Rayaan,' directed and led by Tamil star Dhanush, was released in theaters on July 26 and achieved significant success, earning over Rs. 150 crores, marking it as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Recently, it debuted on Amazon Prime. Just a day before, 'Kalki' was also released on Amazon in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. It was anticipated that 'Rayaan' views might decrease due to 'Kalki's impact. However, surprisingly, 'Rayaan' excelled with even higher views than 'Kalki,' trending at number one nationally, pushing 'Kalki' to the second spot.
https://twitter.com/DhanushAdmirers/status/1827230852377669864
Is This Why Rayaan Dominated?
There seems to be a strong reason why 'Rayaan' received more admiration on OTT than 'Kalki.' Many had already watched 'Kalki 2898 AD' in theaters, and some even repeatedly. In contrast, 'Rayaan,' despite its success and buzz as a routine revenge drama, was not heavily promoted for big-screen viewings, leading many cinema lovers to hold off watching it until its OTT release. As expected, once 'Rayaan' hit the streaming service, everyone rushed to watch it first. Given that many had already seen 'Kalki,' OTT enthusiasts were more eager to watch 'Rayaan' first, leading to its prominent streaming success.
Big Salute to Dhanush’s Direction!
The film 'Rayaan,' which rained cash in theaters, is achieving similar success on OTT. The movie contains many elements that captivate audiences, notably Dhanush’s directorial expertise. The narrative, screenplay, and performances by Dhanush, Sundeep, S.J. Suryah, and Dushara Vijayan are particularly engaging. Dhanush’s portrayal in the fight sequences showcased his formidable presence, setting the action apart from typical films with its realistic feel. The drama and emotions are well crafted, keeping the audience engaged without any dull moments, earning Dhanush widespread acclaim.
Producer Surprises Dhanush
Prominent producer Kalanithi Maran produced 'Rayaan,' under Dhanush’s direction and lead role. Following the film’s super success, the producer uniquely thanked Dhanush by presenting two cheques (reflecting his dual roles as director and hero), which went viral on the internet. However, the exact amount on the cheques remains undisclosed, leading netizens to speculate and comment their guesses.

![Does 'Double iSmart' Deliver? A Deep Dive into Ram Pothineni's Latest Outing](http://cdn.telugu.yousay.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/16113450/Snapinsta.app_452982613_477972161626146_282240589375578673_n_1080-e1723698715634.jpg)
Does 'Double iSmart' Deliver? A Deep Dive into Ram Pothineni's Latest Outing
Energetic Star Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar starred in 'Double iSmart', which was released globally amidst high expectations. Following the flop of 'Liger' by Puri Jagannadh and the failure of 'Skanda' by Ram Pothineni, this film has generated significant buzz among audiences and the industry alike. Did the film live up to expectations? Did the Ram-Puri combo hit the mark again? Let’s delve into this review.
What’s the Story?
Mafia boss Big Bull (Sanjay Dutt) wants to live forever. In this quest, doctors suggest the possibility of memory transfer. Attempts to transfer Big Bull’s memory to various individuals fail. During these attempts, Big Bull learns about iSmart Shankar. They decide to transfer Big Bull’s memory to Shankar. Was the memory successfully transferred to Shankar’s brain? What does iSmart Shankar do next? Why do Big Bull and iSmart Shankar clash again? What is the relationship between Kavya Thapar and Shankar? What significance does Boka's (Ali) character have in the film?
How's the Movie?
The first half of the movie includes love and comedy tracks, laden with Telangana slang and mass festivities. Puri Jagannadh’s trademark punch dialogues and his style of comedy scenes are captivating. From the interval action sequence onwards, twists upon twists are revealed. Scenes featuring Ram and Sanjay Dutt are particularly striking. The climax twist takes the movie to the next level. Dialogues are a special attraction, with Ram's Telangana slang proverbs hitting the mark. Romantic scenes between Ram and Kavya Thapar, as well as the mind games between Ram and Sanjay Dutt, and the mother sentiment, are all interesting. Ram’s energetic performance is engaging. Ali’s comedy scenes are well-done.
How Did They Perform?
Ram Pothineni excels as iSmart Shankar. His acting in this film is triple times more mass-oriented than in the previous iSmart Shankar movie. It's evident from this film that he has put in an extraordinary effort. Sanjay Dutt as Big Bull delivers a superb performance, doing complete justice to his role. Kavya Thapar, as the heroine Jannat, fits perfectly into her role. Shaaji Shinde as a CBI officer, Bunny Jayashankar, Ram's mother played by Jhansi, Boka played by Ali, and Ram’s friend played by Getup Srinu all perform commendably within the scope of their roles.
How's the Direction?
After the flop of Liger, it is evident that Puri Jagannadh has written this film with great care. This film marks a comeback for Puri, who has effectively brought his envisioned story to life. The screenplay is also good. Puri Jagannadh has filled the film with elements that attract the youth. The scenes from the pre-climax to the climax elevate the movie to another level. Once again, Puri introduces the old charm with his trademark punch dialogues. The mother sentiment is good but could have been elevated further. Overall, Puri succeeded in making a film that appeals to the youth.
Technically
On a technical level, the film is of high quality. Every frame appears rich. Mani Sharma’s music is satisfactory. Cinematography by Gian K. Gian and Shyam K. Naidu is commendable. Overall, this film can be termed a mass feast.
Plus Points
- Ram Pothineni’s acting
- Puri’s direction
- Scenes between Sanjay Dutt and Ram
Minus Points
- Lengthy comedy track by Ali
- Some of the songs
Verdict: Overall, Double iSmart Shankar is a youthful entertainer packed with mass elements.
Rating: 3/5
