It is well known that there have been ongoing conflicts between the Allu and Mega families. On social media platforms, Allu Army and Mega Fans have been fiercely attacking each other. There have even been threats from Mega Fans to boycott 'Pushpa 2.' The center of the Allu vs. Mega families controversy has become Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh. During the Andhra Pradesh elections, Bunny's campaigning in the area for the YSRCP candidate Shilpa Ravi was not well-received by Mega Fans and Jana Sainiks. Since then, they have been targeting Bunny. Recently, Bunny fans from Nandyal called for an urgent meeting. This has sparked speculations whether this could lead to further conflicts in Nandyal.



Why the Meeting?



Allu Arjun's fans from Nandyal are gathering for a meeting. This meeting is scheduled for Thursday morning at 10:30 on the Atmakur Road in the Cheruvukatta area. The announcement of this meeting has been trending on Nandyal Twitter handles. The fact that fans from the area, which sparked the feud between the Mega and Allu families, are organizing this meeting is intriguing. Will this meeting lead to another controversy? Comments are circulating that this meeting is set against the backdrop of 'Pushpa 2.' Discussions are expected on how to support their favorite hero for the success of the movie, how to stand by him, and how to counter the negative campaigning by Mega Fans.

Remember the Nandyal Incident?



During the AP elections, Icon Star Allu Arjun visited Nandyal to support YSRCP candidate Shilpa Ravi. This moved Bunny's interactions into the realm of AP politics and the Telugu film industry. Shilpa Ravi's wife, Nagini Reddy, and Allu Arjun's wife, Sneha Reddy, were classmates, which led to Bunny's friendship with Shilpa Ravi. In the 2019 elections, Bunny wished Shilpa Ravi "all the best" via Twitter, and he won by a significant majority. This time, with Shilpa Ravi contesting on behalf of YSRCP, Bunny actively campaigned. While Bunny only posted one tweet wishing his uncle Pawan Kalyan success, his personal appearance for an opposing party candidate became a hot topic in political circles (Allu Vs Mega Families). In Nandyal, the person supported by Bunny lost, while the coalition candidate and TDP leader Farooq achieved a significant victory.

Trolls on Bunny Over 'Kissik'!



Mega Fans (Allu Vs Mega Families) have been trolling Bunny intensely. With the release of Bunny's latest movie 'Pushpa 2' approaching, these trolls have intensified. Recently, an edited video based on the newly released item song 'Kissik' is trending on social media. During promotions, videos of Bunny hugging star heroines Rashmika Mandanna and Sreeleela were edited to match the lyrics of 'Kissik.' A video montage showing Bunny getting slapped in past movies was added to the lyrics "Debbalu Padtayiro Mama." This edited video is now going viral online.

Controversy Over Bunny's Instagram Post



There's a significant war brewing between Bunny and Pawan fans on social media. At a recent 'Pushpa 2' promotional event in Chennai, banners opposing Pawan Kalyan appeared. A placard highlighting 'PK' (Pawan Kalyan) with the phrase "Em Peekaleru Brother" in English text became a topic of discussion. However, when Icon Star Allu Arjun shared a photo with Sreeleela on his Instagram, a poster appeared in the background. Whether this was accidental or intentional remains a mystery. This post provoked Pawan fans again, leading to heated exchanges. Noticing this, Bunny removed the placard and re-shared the cropped image on Instagram. However, the film circles note that the damage among the fans had already been done.

Allu Arjun vs Mega Fans: Nandyal Sparks New Controversies Amid Pushpa 2 Hype


Cast: Rocking Rakesh, Ananya Krishnan, Lohith, Mime Madhu, Tanikella Bharani, Tagubothu Ramesh, Dhanraj, Jordar Sujatha, and othersDirector: Anji GarudavegaMusic: Charan ArjunEditor: Chintala MadhuProducer: Rocking RakeshProduction House: Green Tree ProductionsRelease Date: November 22, 2024



Comedian Rocking Rakesh stars in Kesava Chandra Ramavat (shortened as KCR), a film with an intriguing premise tied to the former Telangana Chief Minister, KCR. With Rakesh portraying a die-hard fan of KCR, the movie garnered significant hype. Directed by Anji Garudavega, the film also stars Ananya Krishnan, Tanikella Bharani, Dhanraj, and others. Did Rakesh impress in his lead role and justify the hype? Let’s find out in this review.







The Plot



Kesava Chandra Ramavat, alias KCR (Rocking Rakesh), hails from Rangabai Tanda in Warangal district and has been a devoted fan of K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) since childhood. Inspired by KCR’s speeches during the Telangana movement, Kesava grew up idolizing him. His cousin, Manju (Ananya Krishnan), is in love with him, but Kesava dreams of marrying a wealthy city girl, believing it would secure his future. Eventually, he gets engaged to the daughter of a rich man and vows to marry her in the presence of KCR. Determined to fulfill his promise, Kesava travels to Hyderabad to convince KCR to attend his wedding. What challenges does he face in the city? How does the ring road project create problems for his village? Does Kesava succeed in bringing KCR to his wedding? The answers form the crux of the story.



Performances



Rocking Rakesh delivers an earnest performance as a passionate KCR fan, showcasing his natural acting skills. His portrayal of a young man fighting for his village and dreams is convincing. Ananya Krishnan, playing Manju, does a decent job, though her role doesn’t offer much scope for acting. Lohith as Kesava’s father and Mime Madhu as his uncle stand out with their performances. Tagubothu Ramesh and Jordar Sujatha provide comic relief in their brief appearances. Tanikella Bharani, Dhanraj, and others perform adequately within their limited roles.







Direction



Director Anji Garudavega narrates the story of a simple Lambada youth’s journey from his village to the city, driven by his admiration for KCR. The film captures the emotional journey of Kesava, highlighting his struggles and dreams. The first half introduces Kesava, his village life, and his inspiration drawn from KCR’s speeches. The promise to bring KCR to his wedding adds intrigue to the second half. The challenges Kesava faces in Hyderabad and the emotional climax involving the ring road issue are handled well. However, the film’s overt focus on glorifying a political figure might limit its appeal. While it serves as a celebration for KCR fans and BRS supporters, its reception among general audiences remains uncertain.



Technical Aspects



Technically, the film is well-crafted. Director Anji Garudavega also impresses as a cinematographer. Charan Arjun’s songs and background score elevate the emotional sequences. The production values are commendable, reflecting a well-invested effort.

‘Kesava Chandra Ramavat (KCR)’ Review: Rocking Rakesh Shines in a Heartfelt Tribute with an Emotional Twist


In the past, a movie's success wasn't just measured by its collections but by how long it played in theaters. However, that's not the case anymore. Nowadays, a movie's success is decided based on its collections. As part of this shift, filmmakers also hype up daily earnings to build excitement among audiences. There are frequent comments within the industry suggesting that the collections announced by makers are far from reality. In this context, popular actor Rana Daggubati made some sensational remarks about movie collections. A video related to this has gone viral online.



What did Rana say about collections?



Rana Daggubati, a well-known actor in Tollywood, gained Pan-India fame after his roles in 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2'. Recently, he appeared as the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s movie 'Vettaiyan'. In a recent interview, Rana made interesting comments about movie collections, saying, "Box office numbers are just a comedy. Many people might not know, but the numbers on posters are just for time pass. They are not real numbers. They are just for marketing purposes. They don’t relate to the actual gross or final money made." These comments by Rana went viral and became a topic of discussion in Tollywood. Fans are posting whether the crores claimed for our heroes' movies are real or not.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1858578978132685054




This time, less profanity...



There were significant criticisms of the first web series 'Rana Naidu', which Rana did with his uncle Victory Venkatesh, especially since Venkatesh is known for connecting well with family audiences and they were unable to accept the use of profanity in the series. Due to dissatisfaction about the series not being suitable for family viewing, there is news of an upcoming Part 2. In this context, Rana spoke about Season 2, stating that the shooting for the second series is complete and that the content and language will be improved this time. However, he reminded that the first series was advised not to be watched by family audiences, but no one heeded the advice, leading to severe trolling.







Rana’s Talk Show on Amazon



Tollywood hero Nandamuri Balakrishna’s host role in the talk show 'Unstoppable' has been a huge success, well-known for creating a buzz on the OTT platform Aha. Amazon Prime is now planning a talk show with Rana Daggubati as the host. 'The Rana Daggubati Show' is set to stream starting November 23. It's reported that Ram Gopal Varma, Nani, Naga Chaitanya, Dulquer Salmaan, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Teja Sajja, and Sreeleela will appear as guests. Rana mentioned in a recent interview that the first season will have 8 episodes, each lasting over 40 minutes. He expressed a desire to invite Prabhas and Balakrishna to the show and is in talks to make a decision soon, which has immensely pleased the fans of both the Rebel and Nandamuri camps.






Rana Daggubati Drops Truth Bomb on Box Office Collections and Promises a Revamped 'Rana Naidu 2'


For quite some time, there has been significant buzz about conflicts between Allu Arjun and the Mega family. The recent comments made by Varun Tej during the promotions of Matka have further fueled these speculations. Allu Arjun publicly supporting a political figure from Pawan Kalyan’s rival party during the Andhra Pradesh elections became the focal point of these disputes. Since then, Mega fans and Allu Army have been clashing on social media. Many film veterans and political analysts have also opined that Allu Arjun's actions were not appropriate. Amidst this ongoing controversy, Allu Arjun recently thanked the same YSRCP leader, which has led to claims that Bunny intentionally provoked Mega fans.



What Exactly Happened?



Icon Star Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 is set to release worldwide in two weeks. Directed by Sukumar, this film is eagerly awaited by audiences across the nation. Recently, the trailer of the movie was released, receiving tremendous response from viewers. In this context, former Nandyal MLA Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy expressed his excitement about the film. He posted on X, stating that he couldn’t wait to witness the “wildfire” in theaters and wished the team all the best. Responding to this, Allu Arjun replied, “Thank you, brother. Grateful for your love.” This post has since gone viral.

Did Bunny Provoke Mega Fans?



Before DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham, Bunny frequently praised Pawan Kalyan and Megastar Chiranjeevi at his film events, showering them with compliments. However, during the promotions of DJ, he shocked Mega fans by saying “Cheppanu Brother” when asked about Pawan Kalyan. Following this, negative propaganda against DJ began circulating. Later, during the Andhra Pradesh elections, Bunny’s support for YSRCP candidate Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, including his personal visit to Nandyal urging people to vote for him, was deeply resented by Mega fans and Jana Sena supporters. They began trolling Bunny heavily on social media, a trend that continues to this day. Meanwhile, Allu Army has also been giving strong counters to these attacks. With Bunny thanking Silpa Ravi Reddy again, there are speculations that this act was meant to provoke Mega fans. However, Bunny’s fans defend him, stating that he merely replied to Silpa Ravi Reddy’s post.







How Did the Friendship with the YSRCP Leader Begin?



Nandyal YSRCP candidate Silpa Ravi’s wife, Nagini Reddy, and Allu Arjun’s wife, Sneha Reddy, were classmates. This connection led to Bunny and Silpa Ravi becoming acquaintances and later friends. During the 2019 elections, Bunny wished Silpa Ravi “all the best” via Twitter, and Silpa won with a huge majority. This time, as Silpa Ravi represented YSRCP again, Bunny actively supported him. While Bunny limited his support for his uncle Pawan Kalyan to a single tweet, his direct campaign for a rival party candidate became a hot topic in political circles. Eventually, in Nandyal, TDP candidate Farooq contested on behalf of the alliance and won by a massive majority.







Exciting Update on the Item Song!



It is well known that dancing queen Sreeleela performed the item song Kissik in Pushpa 2. There’s a buzz online that the lyrical version of this special song will release on November 23, with an official announcement expected soon. According to industry talk, Allu Arjun and Sreeleela’s dance moves in this song are electrifying. Rumor has it that Sreeleela was paid a whopping ₹2 crore for this song. Bunny’s fans are optimistic that Kissik will surpass the popularity of Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava from Pushpa.







Garikapati Fires on Bunny



As the release of Pushpa 2 approaches, a new controversy has emerged on social media. Comments made by prominent preacher Garikapati Narasimha Rao about Pushpa back in 2021 are resurfacing. Garikapati criticized the film, stating that movies like Pushpa are harmful to society. In the resurfaced video, Garikapati remarks, “How appropriate is it to portray a red sandalwood smuggler as a hero? The entire movie glorifies smuggling, with the message ‘wait for the next part to see the redemption.’ Meanwhile, society deteriorates. A smuggler saying ‘Taggede Le’ (I won’t back down) is unacceptable. Phrases like ‘Taggede Le’ should be reserved for figures like Harishchandra or Lord Rama, not smugglers.” His statements are once again sparking debates.

Pre-Release Event in Tirupati!



There are plans to hold the pre-release event of "Game Changer" in Tirupati grandly if conditions permit, potentially in the presence of thousands of fans in an open place. There is a possibility that Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Ram Charan’s uncle, Power Star Pawan Kalyan, could be invited as the chief guest. Given the close relationship with Ram Charan, the movie team expects Pawan Kalyan’s attendance. There is also a promotion event planned in Hyderabad.







Dil Raju’s 50th Film



Prominent producer Dil Raju announced that "Game Changer" marks the 50th film in his career. He shared that director Shankar had pitched the concept about three years ago, which instantly intrigued him. Co-producer Aditya Ram, a close friend of his who has produced four Telugu films, was busy in Chennai for business reasons but readily agreed to join the production of "Game Changer." Sri Venkateswara Creations and Aditya Ram Movies will not only work together on "Game Changer" but also on future projects, as confirmed by the producer.






Game Changer Teaser: Ram Charan Amplifies Excitement for the Film with These Three Elements!


For some time now, rumors of discord between the Allu and Mega families have been circulating, especially since the AP elections when Bunny (Allu Arjun) showed support for a YSRCP leader. This intensified the rumors, leading to a heated exchange between Allu Army and Mega fans on social media platforms. However, the potential appearance of Pawan Kalyan at the 'Pushpa 2' pre-release event seemed to pause the feud momentarily. Yet, recent comments made by Mega hero Varun Tej have once again brought the Allu versus Mega controversy to the forefront, reigniting the social media war with his statements.



What Varun Tej said...



Mega Hero Varun Tej, starring alongside Meenakshi Chaudhary in the upcoming movie 'Matka' directed by Karuna Kumar, releasing in theaters on November 14, made some interesting comments at a grand pre-release event in Visakhapatnam. During his speech, Varun mentioned receiving a call from his brother Ram Charan while he was anxious about the movie's outcome. He shared that Charan said there's no need for words, just sitting beside him and putting a hand on his shoulder felt like earning Rs. 100 crores. "You might think I always talk about family. But forgetting where we came from, who stands behind us, renders any success meaningless. My elder uncle, uncle, and father are behind me," he remarked. This video of his speech is currently going viral online.




https://twitter.com/goudsaab410/status/1855646150281338887




Indirect Punch at Bunny..!



Netizens believe that Varun Tej’s recent comments are an indirect jab at Icon Star Allu Arjun. They recall Allu Arjun's past remarks about Pawan Kalyan with the phrase "Cheppanu Brother." Initially, in his career, Bunny would speak of Mega Star Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan at every movie event. However, rumors suggest Mega fans feel that Bunny, having achieved his own stardom, is reluctant to mention them now. The situation escalated during the AP elections. A short while ago, at a pre-release event in Maruthi Nagar, Bunny stated he would attend only if he liked to, differentiating himself from the Mega fans by mentioning "Allu Army" and expressing his special thanks by saying, "I love you," to his fans.




https://twitter.com/goudsaab410/status/1855646150281338887




Big War on Social Media!



Following Varun Tej’s remarks, Allu Army and Mega fans are clashing again on social media. Mega fans use the saying "A dog's bite cannot be healed by a slap" to suggest that no matter how high one rises, one should not forget their roots, as implied by Varun. Meanwhile, Bunny’s fans counter that it would have been great if Varun, enjoying his success, had made these comments. They allege that Varun's comments aim to separate Mega fans during his movie release. Whatever the case, Varun's latest remarks have undoubtedly added fuel to the ongoing Allu vs. Mega fan war.

Mega Fans Target 'Pushpa 2'!



The movie 'Pushpa 2', starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, is set for a global release on December 5th. While Allu Army and even Mega fans are eagerly awaiting its release, Mega fans have a strong reason to keep an eye out. There is talk among them that any negative talk about 'Pushpa 2' on social media should be used as an opportunity to play games with Bunny, planning to impact the film's collections by supporting a boycott. #Pushpa2boycott is also being prepared by them. However, the Allu Army claims no one can stop 'Pushpa 2's success. It remains to be seen what turn the Allu and Mega fan war will take next.

Allu vs. Mega: Varun Tej's Comments Reignite Family Feud and Fan War


Cast: Chetan Krishna, Chetan Maddineni, Vennela Kishore, Sai Kumar, Vinay Varma, Praveen, Naveen Neni, Goparaju Ramana, and others.



Director: Sai Kishore Macha



Music: Gopi Sundar



Cinematography: Siddharth Ramaswamy



Producer: M.S. Ram Kumar



Release Date: November 8, 2024



The latest film ‘Dhoom Dhaam,’ starring Chetan Maddineni and Hebah Patel, directed by Sai Kishore Macha, also features Sai Kumar, Vennela Kishore, Prithviraj, and Goparaju Ramana in key roles. Produced by M.S. Ram Kumar under the Friday Frameworks banner, the film finally arrived in theaters on November 8. Has it impressed the Telugu audience? Let’s dive into the review.







What's the Story



Karthik (Chetan Maddineni) shares a deep bond with his father, Ramaraju (Sai Kumar), with both father and son supporting and caring for each other. One day, Karthik falls in love with Suhana (Hebah Patel) at first sight, though she initially doesn’t reciprocate. Frustrated, Karthik heads to Poland, where Suhana follows him, eventually winning his love. Meanwhile, Karthik has a long-standing feud with Suhana’s uncle (Ramaraju) and her father’s brother (Benarjee), who want to kill him. What’s behind this enmity? How does Karthik resolve these issues? Do Karthik and Suhana unite in the end? To find out, you’ll need to watch the movie.







Performance&nbsp;



Chetan Krishna, as Karthik, delivers a decent performance, showing growth in his acting, though he could have worked more on expressions, especially in key scenes. Hebah Patel impresses as Suhana, returning to a commercial role and scoring well with both her charm and acting. Their chemistry works well on screen. Vennela Kishore, in the role of Karthik’s cousin, steals the show with his comedy, which is a major strength of the film. Sai Kumar, Goparaju Ramana, Shivannarayana, Benarjee, Sai Srinivas, Praveen, and Giridhar all perform within their roles effectively.







Direction



Director Sai Kishore Macha has chosen a straightforward storyline. However, his effort to deliver a good romantic and family entertainer is commendable. Even with a love track, he avoids vulgarity, carefully presenting the bond between father and son, father and daughter, and other family relationships. The first half focuses on the love story, minor conflicts, and misunderstandings, which feel a bit routine, with Praveen’s comedic relief standing out. The interval twist brings intrigue into the second half, where the backstory of the heroine’s family unfolds, giving the film more depth. Vennela Kishore shoulders most of the second half with his comedy. However, slow narration, underutilized casting, and a few unclear expressions from the hero act as drawbacks.







Technical Aspects



On the technical front, Gopi Sundar’s music is a big asset. The songs are enjoyable, and the background score adds a fresh feel. Siddharth Ramaswamy’s cinematography is impressive, with vibrant visuals. The editor could have tightened the runtime further. The production values are outstanding, with no expense spared by the producers.







Plus Points



- Vennela Kishore’s comedy



- Family emotions



- Music



Minus Points



- Routine story



- Regular love track



- Slow narration

Pre-Release Event in Tirupati!



The movie team plans to hold a grand pre-release event for 'Game Changer' in Tirupati. If conditions permit, this event will take place in an open space in the presence of hundreds of thousands of fans. There are possibilities that Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister and Ram Charan’s uncle, power star Pawan Kalyan, could be invited as the chief guest. Given the relationship with Ram Charan, it is unlikely that Pawan Kalyan would decline the invitation. Additionally, there is a plan to organize another promotional event in Hyderabad.







Dil Raju’s 50th Film



'Game Changer' marks the 50th film in the prominent producer Dil Raju's career. He mentioned that director Shankar shared the story with him three years ago, which instantly piqued his interest. Co-producer Aditya Ram, who is a good friend and has produced four Telugu films, has been busy with business in Chennai. However, when approached to participate in the production of 'Game Changer', Aditya Ram immediately agreed. Sri Venkateswara Creations and Aditya Ram Movies will collaborate not only for 'Game Changer' but also for future projects.







Concerns Over Shankar’s Form!



After the blockbuster 'RRR', the mega fans were thrilled about Ram Charan's next film with director Shankar. However, the recent disaster of 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar dampened their spirits. Netizens posted extensively that 'Bharateeyudu 2' didn’t feel like a typical Shankar film. Previous films directed by Shankar like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' also performed poorly at the box office, raising doubts among mega fans about his direction. Concerns are being expressed that if 'Game Changer' doesn’t perform well, it could lead to severe disappointment. On the other hand, 'Game Changer' is critical for Shankar to get back on the path of success. Producer Dil Raju also has high hopes for the film after facing significant losses with a 'Family Star' movie.







Trending as Unpredictable



The term 'Unpredictable' has been trending on social media for the past two days related to 'Game Changer', with many wondering why. Film industry sources say that 'Unpredictable' is a powerful line from the 'Game Changer' teaser spoken by Charan. Fans are already speculating in which context Charan will use this word in the film. It is also mentioned that the upcoming teaser on November 9th will have a runtime of 1 minute and 40 seconds.






Game Changer Promotions Kick Off: Teaser Launch, Mega Events, and Global Hype Building for Ram Charan's Next Blockbuster!


The movie "Kalki 2898 AD," starring Prabhas as the hero, has made a significant impact in theaters, becoming a box office sensation. This success can be credited to director Nag Ashwin and the production house "Vyjayanthi Movies." Producer Aswani Dutt undertook this ambitious project with determination, despite its escalating budget, aiming for high-quality results. He granted director Nag Ashwin full financial freedom. With a budget exceeding 600 crores, Kalki stands as one of India's most expensive films. Currently, Vyjayanthi Movies is gaining nationwide recognition for delivering visual spectacles like Kalki.

Vyjayanthi Movies Journey



Aswani Dutt started his journey as a producer with a film starring his favorite hero, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. He established Vyjayanthi Movies and featured NTR in the avatar of Krishna as its logo. The company made its mark in the industry with the 1975 film "Eduruleni Manishi." Despite initial struggles, the banner did not hesitate to deliver blockbuster films, creating a significant impact in the Telugu film industry. What are those blockbuster films? Let's see what mark they have made in the Telugu film industry.







Agni Parvatam



"Agni Parvatam" is one of the super hit films released under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner. Starring Superstar Krishna in dual roles with Radha and Vijayashanti as the heroines, this film, directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, achieved great success at that time. Superstar Krishna showcased a formidable acting presence. This film stands as a milestone in Krishna's career. His dialogue "Aggi Pettunda?" became very popular back then, as did the song "Kaduluthunna Agniparvatam," which introduced a fresh side of Krishna. The movie's plot revolves around Jamadagni, who resents his father for abandoning his mother, but his enemies bring his step-uncle into play to create problems. What happens next forms the plot.

Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari



"Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari" proved that Vyjayanthi Movies could produce not just routine films but also experimental films. This unforgettable film in Megastar's career was crafted in the socio-fantasy genre and collected huge amounts at the box office.

Pan-India star Prabhas has won millions of fans with his acting and his kindness. Particularly recognized for his role in 'Baahubali,' he brought Telugu cinema to a global stage. It can be said that the records created by Prabhas as a movie hero are unparalleled. Today (October 23) is Prabhas' birthday. As he steps into his 45th year, here are some intriguing details about his personal and film career for you.



Average in Studies



Prabhas was an average student academically. He wasn't the type to sit in class for long periods and looked forward to the drill period eagerly. He was known for skipping classes to play games.







Forgetful



Prabhas is somewhat forgetful. He shared in an interview that his friends used to call him 'Ghajini' since his school days. He recounted how he often forgot his pen during exams and would leave his book in one place and forget where it was. He has admitted that he has improved a bit since his childhood.







'You, a Hero?'



At the beginning of his career, when Prabhas told a friend that he wanted to become a film hero, his friend laughed and said, 'You, a hero?' When he shared this with his family, they were initially shocked but later sent him to Satyanand in Visakhapatnam for training. After three months of training, he received the offer for 'Eeswar.'







The Reason Behind the Darling Call



Prabhas frequently uses the word 'Darling' to address his friends and close ones. He explained that he feels uncomfortable calling someone brother or 'anna,' which is why he prefers calling them 'Darling.' Noticing this, director Puri Jagannadh popularized this nickname through the film 'Bujjigadu,' and it became even more popular with the movie 'Darling.'







Guest Roles



The Rebel Star Prabhas appeared in a guest role in the Hindi movie 'Action Jackson' (2014) directed by dance master Prabhu Deva starring Ajay Devgn. In the song 'Punjabi Mast,' he danced alongside Sonakshi Sinha. Decades later, he is set to appear in a guest role in the movie 'Kannappa' and gave a voice-over for the movie 'Denikaina Ready.'







Two Films with His Uncle



The late actor Krishnam Raju was Prabhas’ uncle, and Prabhas entered the industry as his heir. Prabhas deeply admired his uncle and acted with him in films like 'Billa' and 'Rebel.' Prabhas often shares that these two films provided him with many sweet memories.







Thrice With Each



In his career, Prabhas has acted in the most films with two heroines, Trisha and Anushka, sharing the screen three times each. He starred with Trisha in 'Bujjigadu,' 'Varsham,' and 'Pournami.' With Anushka, he acted in 'Billa,' 'Mirchi,' and 'Baahubali.'







The First South Indian Hero



Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor.







If Not an Actor...



Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.






Celebrating #HBD Prabhas: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About the Baahubali Star on His Birthday!


Cast: Prince, Naresh Agastya, Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, Madhumani, Gundu Sudarshan, and others



Director: Shiva Shesha



Music: Jeevan Babu



Cinematographer: Ramana Jagarlamudi



Editor: Vijay Vardhan Kavuri



Producer: T. Leela Goutham



Release Date: 04-10-2024



The latest film starring Prince and Naresh Agastya is 'Kali', directed by Shiva Shesha. Neha Krishnan, C.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Mani Chandana, Kedar Shankar, and Madhumani also play significant roles. This film, developed with a unique concept, was released to the audience on October 4. Let's see how the movie is and whether it captivated the Telugu audience in this review.







What's the Story?



Shivaram (Prince) is a professor at a university who never refuses to help anyone. This quality endears him to Veda (Neha Krishnan), who falls in love with him and confronts her family to marry him. However, Shivaram's goodwill is exploited by his own family members, who conspire to take his property. Betrayed by his brother and uncle, Shivaram becomes deeply disillusioned and attempts suicide, wishing not to be reborn as a human. At this critical moment, Kali Purusha (Naresh Agastya) makes his entry. Just as Shivaram is about to commit suicide, Kali Purusha rings the calling bell and saves him. What changes does Kali bring into Shivaram’s life? What is the connection between Shivaram’s life and the era of Kali? To find out, one must go to the theaters.







How Did They Perform?



In a refreshing new role as Shivaram, Prince excels with settled acting. Even in scenes without dialogue, his expressions were enough to impress. He made an effort to define himself as an actor by intensifying the scenes. Naresh Agastya shone as Kali, captivating with his stylish performance. The film primarily revolves around these two characters. Neha Krishnan was compelling as Veda within the limits of her role. Other cast members also justified their roles.







How's the Direction?



Director Shiva Shesha made an attempt to convey that suicide is not a solution to problems and that it is the real problem through this film. Although he chose a message-oriented narrative, he did not neglect commercial elements. He made the story engaging by blending suspense and thriller elements effectively. The movie starts with Shivaram’s background, his family life, love track, and betrayal by family members. The director sped up the story with the arrival of Agastya as Kali. The way Agastya questions Shivaram and tries to show him his mistakes is appealing. The scenes that instill a will to live are spectacular, especially the interactions between Prince and Naresh Agastya. However, the story might feel dragged and centered too much around two characters, and the lack of comedy could be seen as a downside.







Technically



On the technical front, the music is a major strength. Jeevan Babu's background score notably elevates the scenes. The editing could have been sharper. The cinematography is good, and the visuals are rich. The production values are also high, befitting the film.

Kali Movie Review: Prince and Naresh Agastya Shine in a Gripping Yet Flawed Drama


Cast: Viswant Duddumpudi, Shilpa Manjunath, Rhea Sachdeva, Tejaswini Naidu, Viva Raghav, Sumanth Varela, and others.



Written and Directed by: Basireddy Rana



Music by: Lijo K. Jose



Editor: Amar Reddy Kudumula



Producer: Narendra Buchireddygari



Release Date: September 20, 2024



Viswant Duddumpudi, known from movies like 'Kerintha' and 'Manamantha', is now featured in the film 'Hide N Seek'. Produced under the banner of Sahasra Entertainments by Narendra Buchireddygari and directed by Basireddy Rana, this film has raised expectations with its teasers and trailers. Released in theaters this Friday (September 20), let’s see how much it managed to entertain the audience.







What is the Story About?



The story unfolds in the backdrop of Kurnool. Shiva (Viswant Duddumpudi) is a medical student aspiring to become an army doctor. He is in love with Varsha (Rhea Sachdeva), who studies in the same college. In the meantime, a series of inexplicable murders start shaking up the city. A delivery boy is inexplicably beaten to death with a rod. Similar baseless murders spread fear across the city. To solve these serial murder mysteries, police officer Vaishnavi (Shilpa Manjunath) steps into the scene. However, Shiva discovers clues that even the police can't seem to find, leading them to suspect him as the psycho killer. Who framed Shiva in these murders? Who is behind these serial killings? To uncover these mysteries, one must watch the movie.







How Did They Perform?



Young actor Viswant Duddumpudi delivers an excellent performance in the role of Shiva, showcasing his emotional depth well. Kannada actress Shilpa Manjunath looks convincing as a sincere police officer, carefully matching her Telugu dialogues. Rhea Sachdeva, playing the heroine, is limited to a few scenes. Actor Saksi Shiv adds great value to his negative character with his deep voice and compelling acting, making a significant impact. Other actors performed adequately within their roles.







How is the Direction?



Director Basireddy Rana successfully crafts this film as an investigative crime thriller. From the opening scene to the end, he manages to keep the audience glued to their seats. The screenplay is gripping, especially from the first murder to the climax, presenting unforeseeable twists. The way characters are designed and integrated into the story is impressive, with an intriguing link to ancient stories. However, placing this modern warfare in a small city like Kurnool doesn't seem entirely convincing. The film struggles to establish the extent of youth addiction to gaming, and sometimes the portrayal of human emotions falls flat. Overall, the film will appeal to fans of crime investigation movies.







Technically Speaking



Technically, the cinematography is commendable. Lijo K. Jose’s background music is a significant plus, enhancing the suspense elements effectively. The editing is adequate, and the production values are quite good.







Plus Points



- Viswant Duddumpudi’s acting



- Novelty in the story



- Thrilling elements



Minus Points



- Weak drama



- Some unclear scenes

"Hide N Seek" Review: A Gripping Crime Thriller with Unexpected Twists and Turns


Creative director Krishna Vamsi once meant a festive atmosphere in theaters with his films. Throughout his career, he has directed many super hit films, among which Anthahpuram stands as a milestone. In this film, the late actress Soundarya played the female lead, captivating audiences with her performance, which garnered widespread acclaim. Currently, Krishna Vamsi is quite active on platform X, engaging intriguingly with netizens' questions. During this interaction, when asked by a netizen which current actress could replace Soundarya in Anthahpuram, Krishna Vamsi's response has gone viral.



What did Krishna Vamsi say?



The film Anthahpuram, featuring Soundarya, Sai Kumar, Prakash Raj, and Jagapathi Babu, was a massive success at the box office. Soundarya delivered an outstanding performance as a mother protecting her child from her cruel uncle. When a netizen on X asked Krishna Vamsi which of today’s actresses could fit into Anthahpuram, he replied, "I can’t imagine anyone replacing Soundarya. However, today's actresses are very talented and mesmerizing with their performances. I respect them." The netizen then queried whether Nivetha Thomas or Shraddha Kapoor would be suitable, to which Krishna Vamsi opined that Samantha and Sai Pallavi could be perfect for Soundarya’s role. This post is now trending wildly online, with fans of Samantha and Sai Pallavi making it go viral.







Can They Replace Soundarya?



Star heroine Samantha is recognized not only as a glamour beauty but also as a talented actress. She won an award for Best Actress with her first film, 'Ye Maaya Chesave'. Following that, she proved her acting skills in films like 'Manam', 'A Aa', 'U Turn', 'Jaanu', 'Yashoda', 'Shaakuntalam', and 'Oh! Baby'. Sai Pallavi's acting skills need no special mention. With films like Premam, Fidaa, Love Story, Shyam Singha Roy, Virata Parvam, and Gargi, she has demonstrated unmatched acting prowess. Netizens believe these star heroines could do justice to Soundarya’s role in Anthahpuram.







Director with Two National Awards



Director Krishna Vamsi, originally Pasupuleti Venkata Bangarraju, started his career as an assistant director under Ram Gopal Varma. He made his directorial debut in 1995 with the film 'Gulabi', starring JD Chakravarthy. He directed successful films like 'Anthahpuram', 'Chandrallekha', 'Ninne Pelladutha', Murari, Khadgam, Sri Anjaneyam, Rakhi, Chandamama, and Mahatma. Recently, he directed 'Rangamarthanda', a film that touched the hearts of audiences. Throughout his career, Krishna Vamsi has received two National Film Awards, three Filmfare Awards South, and four Nandi Awards.

HBD Mokshagna Teja: Grand Entry & First Look, Fan Reactions, and Exciting Updates on His Debut Film"


Cast: Arulnithi, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Arun Pandian, Muthukumar, Meenakshi Govindarajan, Sarjano Khalid, Archana Chandhok, and others



Directed by: R. Ajay Gnanamuthu



Music by: Shyam C.S.



Produced by: Bobby Balachandran



Release Date: August 23, 2024



Starring Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar, this Tamil film 'Demonte Colony 2' directed by Ajay R. Gnanamuthu has garnered positive buzz since its Tamil release on the 15th of this month. Now released in Telugu on August 23, did this film managed to captivate the Telugu audience as well? Did it achieve success similar to the original Demonte Colony? Let's find out in this review.







Plot



Samuel Richard (Sarjano Khalid) unexpectedly commits suicide after overcoming a disease like cancer. His wife, Debbie (Priya Bhavani Shankar), struggles to come to terms with his decision and attempts to communicate with his spirit to uncover the reason behind his actions. She discovers from a book in a library that his death was predetermined by that book. Debbie learns that many others who read this book also died similarly. Recently, Srinivas (Arulnithi) and his twin brother Raghunandan (Arulnithi) have also read the book, putting their lives in danger. What is this book? What is the evil power behind it? How did Debbie, along with her uncle Richard (Arun Pandian), attempt to save the twin brothers? What role did Buddhist monks play in their efforts? That's the story.







Performance



Arulnithi excels in a dual role, showcasing distinct variations between the two characters in appearance and performance. Priya Bhavani Shankar, in the main female lead, impressed significantly, especially with a change in her hairstyle giving her a fresh look. This role, unlike her previous glamor roles, provided her with a substantial acting opportunity. Arun Pandian, playing the role of Debbie's uncle, did a satisfactory job. Archana Ravichandran, though in a brief appearance, managed to entertain. Muthukumar, Sarjano Khalid, and others performed well, particularly those portraying Buddhist monks who were captivating.







Direction



R. Ajay Gnanamuthu has crafted part 2 as a continuation of the original 'Demonte Colony' story. The film keeps the audience engaged with twists every half-hour from the start. The director skillfully intertwined two stories by introducing a family not present in the first part. The film not only deals with horror but also includes disputes among brothers and step-sisters, adding a bit of entertainment. Debbie’s efforts to save the twin brothers and the ensuing horror elements are thrilling. The screenplay is quite engaging. The climax along with the scenes linking to a potential third part are surprising. However, weak graphics, some dragging scenes, and the pre-climax could be seen as negatives.







Technically



On the technical front, the cinematographer did an excellent job by not just sticking to the typical dark mode of regular horror films but presenting it in a colorful manner. The graphics department could have done better. The background music was good, enhancing the suspense in the scenes. Editing was decent. The production values are high.







Plus Points



- Story and screenplay



- Acting by Arulnithi and Priya Bhavani Shankar



- Horror elements and twists



Minus Points



- Poor graphics



- Some boring scenes

Pushpa 2 Goes Viral: Branded Popcorn and Cool Drinks Spark Fan Frenzy!

Good Telugu Movies on OTT: Here are the top Telugu family entertainers from the last decade!


Rebel star Prabhas, directed by Nag Ashwin, has unleashed a box office storm with 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Although it was released just 15 days ago, the film's earnings continue to soar, breaking new global records. The excitement around Prabhas's latest film is palpable. Recently, Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, officially announced that 'Kalki' has surpassed the ₹1000 crore mark. This raises questions about which other films have achieved this milestone and how 'Kalki' compares to them. We will explore these aspects in this special report.



How much did the collections amount to in 15 days?



The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been successfully running in theaters for 15 days. The production company Vyjayanthi Movies has officially announced the collections so far. The Kalki movie has grossed over ₹1000 crores in these 15 days. A special poster was released on this occasion, showcasing Prabhas in a Karna avatar targeting the ₹1000 crore mark. This poster is currently captivating netizens. Fans are reiterating Prabhas's prowess once again.

Prabhas, the Unique South Hero



Through 'Kalki 2898 AD', hero Prabhas has set a record. He is the only South Indian hero to have joined the ₹1000 crore club twice. Prabhas first joined this club with 'Baahubali 2'. Although it was anticipated that he would touch ₹1000 crores again with 'Salaar', it stalled around ₹705–715 crores. However, with Kalki, he has achieved this feat for the second time. With collections exceeding ₹1000 crores, he has proven himself unstoppable at the box office, thereby equalling Bollywood's Shahrukh Khan's record. Currently, these two stars are the only ones to have placed their films in the ₹1000 crore club twice, with Shahrukh doing so with 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'.







Soon Into the Top-3



With the latest collections, Kalki has placed seventh in the list of films with the highest gross in Indian cinema history. 'Dangal', starring Aamir Khan, continues to lead with ₹2,023 crores. Prabhas's own 'Baahubali 2' holds second place with ₹1,810 crores. 'RRR' with ₹1,387 crores, 'KGF 2' with ₹1,200–1,250 crores, 'Jawan' with ₹1,148 crores, and 'Pathaan' with ₹1,050 crores follow in subsequent positions. However, with Kalki joining the ₹1000 crore club within just two weeks, it is poised to break more records in the coming days and easily move into the third position, giving a tough time to the films currently in third, fourth, and fifth places.







How Much Did Day 1 Collections Bring In?



All eyes are currently on the Day 1 collections of the 'Kalki 2898 AD' movie. Vyjayanthi Movies, the production company, has officially announced the first day's earnings. 'Kalki' grossed ₹191.5 crores worldwide on its first day. A special poster was also released with the caption 'Let's Celebrate Cinema'. Initially, trade circles predicted that Kalki would gross over ₹200 crores on its first day. However, the film narrowly missed the ₹200 crore mark.







How Much Did the First Weekend Yield?



Directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed ₹555 crores worldwide in its first weekend. A special poster featuring major stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, along with the lead, was posted last week by the production company. The caption read, 'Dominating the global box office with no signs of slowing down'.

As Predicted by YouSay,  Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' Breaks ₹1000 Crore Barrier in Just 15 Days￼


Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has carved a unique niche in Indian cinema. Breaking away from clichéd scenes and formulaic screenplays, he introduced a fresh, innovative filmmaking style. His approach challenged the notion that audiences only appreciate traditional narratives, proving that new ideas are warmly embraced. Sandeep even surprised veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma with his skills, earning high praise. While his on-screen work is widely recognized, his off-screen style also carries a distinct feature that many might overlook unless observed closely. Let’s explore this aspect.



Hero-Specific Makeovers



The sensational director has helmed three films so far, each leaving a significant impact. His debut film Arjun Reddy shook Tollywood and redefined storytelling. Later, he remade it in Hindi as Kabir Singh, achieving massive success. Last year, he delivered a box office tsunami with Animal. Interestingly, during the shoot of his films, Sandeep appears in styles that match his heroes’ looks. For Arjun Reddy, Vijay Deverakonda sported long hair and a thick beard, and Sandeep adopted the same look during the shoot. Similarly, for Animal, Ranbir Kapoor’s long hair and rugged beard were mirrored by Sandeep himself, a style he even carried to promotional events.

The Spirit Look



After Animal, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is gearing up for a big project with Rebel Star Prabhas titled Spirit. The shoot is almost confirmed to begin in December. Recently, Sandeep surprised everyone with a new look, sparking speculation that it might reflect Prabhas’ look in Spirit. Director Prasanth Varma shared pictures with Sandeep on social media, where he appeared clean-shaven with sharp moustaches and a stylish beard. Fans believe Prabhas might adopt a similar makeover for the film. Whether this prediction comes true will be revealed soon.

Three Different Looks for Prabhas



In Spirit, Prabhas is set to portray a powerful police officer. Based on Sandeep’s latest look, fans speculate this might influence Prabhas’ cop avatar. Additionally, there are rumors that Prabhas will showcase two other distinct looks in the film, reminiscent of Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation in Animal. The shoot is expected to officially launch in December, with regular filming starting in January 2025. Reports suggest Sandeep plans to complete the movie within six months. Fans eagerly await the film’s grand launch.







Romancing in Europe



Meanwhile, Pan-India star Prabhas is currently working on The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, slated for an April 10, 2025 release. Music for the film is being composed by S.S. Thaman, with six songs planned, including two duets shot abroad. These romantic tracks, featuring Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan, will reportedly be filmed in Europe. The team is currently scouting locations for these sequences.
