    Remaking films has become a widespread trend across the Indian film industry, with successful movies in one language often being adapted into others to cater to diverse audiences. This trend is evident across various film industries in India, including Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Mollywood, Bhojpuri, and Bengali cinema. Tollywood, in particular, stands out for having a significant number of its successful Telugu films remade into different languages each year. A prime example of this trend is 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana,' which holds the record for being remade into nine languages. This piece will explore Telugu movies that have been translated into at least three different languages. Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana The Telugu film 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' (2005) holds the record for being the first Telugu film to be remade into nine languages. This film was adapted into seven Indian languages (Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, Odia, Manipuri, Punjabi, Bengali) and two foreign languages (Bangladeshi Bengali, Nepali). Directed by dance master Prabhudeva, this film, starring Siddharth, Trisha, and Srihari, was a blockbuster at the box office. Okkadu The Telugu film 'Okkadu', starring Mahesh Babu and directed by Gunasekhar, was remade into five languages. It found success in Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Hindi, and Odia. In Tamil, the film was remade with star Vijay as 'Ghilli', and in Kannada, Puneeth Rajkumar starred as 'Ajay'. Maryada Ramanna Directed by SS Rajamouli, 'Maryada Ramanna' was remade into five languages. This film, starring Sunil, was successful in Kannada, Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. Notably, Rajamouli directed the Hindi remake 'Son of Sardaar', featuring Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sonakshi Sinha. Varsham 'Varsham', starring Prabhas and Trisha in 2004 and directed by Sobhan, was also made in several languages. It was remade as 'My Darling' (2004) in Odia, 'Mazhai' (2005) in Tamil, and 'Baaghi' (2016) in Hindi, all achieving significant success. Chatrapathi Prabhas's 'Chatrapathi', directed by Rajamouli, created a sensation in Tollywood and was remade into three languages: Kannada, Bengali, and Hindi. The Hindi version, directed by V.V. Vinayak and starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas, unfortunately, didn't succeed. Pokiri Mahesh Babu's 'Pokiri', directed by Puri Jagannadh, was remade into four languages. It was a massive hit in Tamil as 'Pokkiri' (2007) with Vijay, in Hindi as 'Wanted' (2009) with Salman Khan, and in Kannada as 'Porki' (2010) with Darshan. Darling Prabhas's 2010 romantic comedy 'Darling', directed by A. Karunakaran, was remade in Kannada as 'Bulbul' and in Hindi as 'Sabse Badhkar Hum', both versions enjoying success. A Bengali remake was planned but ultimately shelved.

    Spirit Heroine: Star Heroine to Pair with Prabhas in 'Spirit' After a 16-Year Wait?
    Spirit Heroine: Star Heroine to Pair with Prabhas in 'Spirit' After a 16-Year Wait?
    Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who created a sensation with his debut film 'Arjun Reddy,' has once again made waves on a national level with his latest film 'Animal.' Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna as the lead actors, this movie shook the Indian box office. This success has turned all eyes towards Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next project. He had previously announced that he would be directing a movie titled 'Spirit' with Pan India star Prabhas. This news raised the expectations for their collaboration even before the start of the shoot. Recently, exciting news regarding the heroine of this movie has surfaced. Prabhas to Star Alongside a Star Heroine! The question of who would be the heroine in the upcoming 'Spirit' movie by Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been haunting fans for some time. There were rumors recently about Rashmika Mandanna, the national crush, playing opposite Prabhas. However, it now seems almost confirmed who will be the heroine in 'Spirit.' According to information, star heroine Trisha will be acting alongside Prabhas in this film. The renowned film site IMDB has listed Trisha as the heroine in the 'Spirit' movie cast section and mentioned her character's name as 'Geetha.' Additionally, senior actor Anant Nag is also set to play a significant role in this film, as listed by IMDB on their site. This has led to speculation on social media that Trisha's selection is confirmed. Already Recognized as a Star Duo! Prabhas and Trisha pairing in "Spirit" is not their first time working together. They have previously collaborated in three films. The film "Varsham," released in 2004, created a sensation at the time. The chemistry between Prabhas and Trisha was so well-received that they gained recognition as a mesmerizing duo. Following that, they worked together in "Pournami '' (2006) and "Bujjigadu" (2008). While "Bujjigadu" received average talk, "Pournami '' failed to impress the audience. News about this hat-trick pair reuniting on screen after nearly 16 years has become interesting. Different from Arjun Reddy and Animal! Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is said to be taking a different approach with "Spirit." Unlike "Arjun Reddy" and "Animal," which focused on stories involving affluent families, "Spirit" is set against a middle-class backdrop, as mentioned in the IMDB plot. However, the film's unit has yet to confirm this. On another note, Sandeep Reddy had previously made comments about Prabhas's role in "Spirit." He mentioned that Prabhas would appear as a powerful police officer. The completion of script work and the promise of showcasing Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar in this movie is noteworthy. "What the Producer of 'Spirit' Said? The famous producer Bhushan Kumar is set to produce the movie 'Spirit'. Previously, he provided key updates about the film. He mentioned that 'Spirit' is a very special movie. He highlighted that Prabhas will be seen in a police uniform wielding a baton for the first time in this film. "Moreover, the music will serve as a major attraction for this movie. One thing I can assure about this film is that you will see Prabhas in a role like never before," said Bhushan Kumar. Since this news broke out, Prabhas' fans have been extremely delighted. Trisha Zooms Ahead with Big Offers! Actress Trisha, who had been away from Tollywood due to a lack of significant movies for some time, is now ready to make a strong comeback. Currently, she is set to act alongside three star heroes! She has already been fixed as the heroine in Chiranjeevi's movie 'Vishwambhar'. Recently, there have been reports that she is being considered for the role opposite Venkatesh in the upcoming movie 'F4', directed by Anil Ravipudi. An official announcement regarding this is expected soon. Now, news that Trisha has bagged a chance in 'Spirit' alongside Prabhas is making her fans very happy.

    Telugu Films which remind us of the Ramayana.
    Telugu Films which remind us of the Ramayana.
    Valmiki's monumental saga, the Ramayana, has inspired countless films to great acclaim. Continuing this legacy, the recent movie 'Adipurush was made to show the greatness of Ramyana to current generation. Additionally, there are Telugu films that, though not directly showcasing Ramayana's characters, subtly weave its narrative through commercial storytelling. These cinematic works aren't overtly linked to the Ramayana at first glance, requiring a deeper analysis to uncover their connections. YouSay highlights these films, exploring the embedded Ramayana influences within them. Dasara In the recent film 'Dasara' starring hero Nani, the Ramayana's influence is apparent, especially in the portrayal of villain characters reminiscent of Ravana. The villain, who sets his sights on the heroine, schemes to make her his own. Ultimately, the hero defeats him and restores peace to his wife and village. RRR In 'RRR', if one observes Jr NTR's character, it's hard not to be reminded of Hanuman. Tarak embarks on a journey to Hastinapur to find a girl taken away by the British, much like Ravana's palace. He infiltrates a British mansion and instills courage in the captive girls, eventually reuniting the girl with her parents, mirroring how Hanuman reunited Sita with Rama. Varsham Directed by Shobhan and starring Prabhas and Trisha, 'Varsham' also echoes the Ramayana. As the hero and heroine deeply fall in love, a villain (Gopichand) enters the scene, desiring Trisha for himself. Prabhas eventually defeats him and wins his love back, reminiscent of Rama's victory over Ravana, who coveted Sita. Varudu Directed by Gunasekhar and released in 2010, 'Varudu' stars Allu Arjun and Bhanu Sri Mehra, with Tamil actor Arya playing the antagonist. The story unfolds with the hero and heroine's engagement, during which the heroine is kidnapped right from the wedding altar by the villain. The hero locates and defeats the villain to reclaim his bride, reflecting the storyline of the Ramayana. Okkadu Directed by Gunasekhar, the blockbuster 'Okkadu' stars Mahesh Babu and Bhumika. The villain (Prakash Raj), enamored with the heroine, attempts to kill her family and marry her. Bhumika escapes and encounters the hero, leading to love between them. The hero ultimately defeats the villain to secure his love, mirroring the narrative of Ravana coveting Sita and Rama defeating him. Raavanan Directed by Mani Ratnam, 'Ravanan' stars Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, and Prithviraj. The film modernizes the Ramayana, highlighting Ravana's perspective. SP Dev (Prithvi), resembling Rama, searches for his wife Aishwarya Rai, kidnapped by Vikram to the Nallamala forest, with a constable (Karthik) assisting him, akin to Hanuman's role. Sainikudu Starring Mahesh and Trisha, 'Sainikudu' presents a narrative somewhat opposite to the Ramayana. The heroine, believing the villain to be good, agrees to marry him. However, upon discovering his true nature, Trisha falls for Mahesh Babu. The hero defeats the villain, who attempts to forcefully marry Trisha, and claims his love. Robo Directed by Shankar, 'Robo' stars Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai. Scientist Vaseegaran creates a robot, Chitti, capable of human emotions, which falls in love with the heroine and abducts her. The hero ultimately deactivates the robot and wins back his love, reflecting the Ramayana's essence. Adipurush Last year's 'Adipurush', starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, is based on the Ramayana's war chapter. Despite harsh criticism, director Om Raut defended the film as a modern interpretation of the Ramayana suited for today's youth. Seeta Ramula Kalyanam Lankalo Starring Nitin and Hansika, 'Seeta Ramula Kalyanam Lankalo' directly evokes the Ramayana's narrative. The college-going hero and heroine fall in love, but family feuds involving the villain, reminiscent of Ravana, complicate their relationship. The hero, disguised, infiltrates the villain's stronghold, like Lanka, deceives the villains, and triumphs in love.

    Trisha Top 20 Bold Pics: You Can't Scroll Past These Hot Photos.. Bet!
    Star actress Trisha Krishnan made headlines by securing the heroine role in Chiranjeevi's movie 'Vishwambhara', which has made her name go viral online. In 2006, Chiru and Trisha first shared the screen in the film 'Stalin', and after 18 years, they are set to reunite in 'Vishwambhara'. Apart from being recognized as a talented actress, Trisha is also known for her glamorous avatars. She dazzles her fans with photoshoots in trendy outfits. Trisha was born on May 4, 1983, in Chennai, where she also completed her education. She began her career as a model. Trisha made her acting debut in the 1999 Tamil film 'Jodi', but since it was a minor role, she didn't gain much recognition. However, in 2002, she rose to fame as a lead actress with the film 'Mounam Pesiyadhe', starring alongside Tamil star hero Surya. By 2003, Trisha became a busy heroine, featuring in six films in just one year, which was quite remarkable. She stepped into the Telugu film industry with the film 'Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu' in the same year, where she starred opposite Tarun. The film's songs received special appreciation back then. The following year, Trisha gained immense popularity in Telugu cinema with the movie 'Varsham', where she starred opposite Prabhas, captivating the youth immensely. Towards the end of 2004, she acted in Mani Ratnam's film 'Yuva', charming the audience as Siddharth's love interest. In 2005, Trisha left an indelible mark on Tollywood, starring in hit films like 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' and 'Athadu'. These successes brought her a series of opportunities, leading her to act in films such as 'Pournami', 'Stalin', 'Sainikudu', 'Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule', 'Krishna', 'Bujjigadu', 'King', and more. She also shined in movies like 'King', 'Shankam', 'Namo Venkatesa', 'Manmadha Banam', 'Teen Maar', 'Bodyguard', 'Dhammu', and 'Lion'. However, her last five Telugu films did not succeed that much, so she started to focus more on Tamil films. During this period, her film '96' with Vijay Sethupathi in 2018 created a sensation, and she also made a notable appearance in Rajinikanth's 'Petta'. Recently, she excelled in both parts of the movie 'Ponniyin Selvan', captivating audiences with her beauty and acting skills. She also attracted the industry's attention again by starring alongside Vijay in 'Leo', followed by her role in the female-oriented movie 'The Road'. Currently, Trisha is very busy, acting in five films, including 'Vidaa Muyarchi' in Tamil and 'Ram' in Malayalam with Mohanlal. She is also busy shooting for 'Vishwambhara', 'Identity', and 'Thug Life', keeping her schedule packed. While actively acting in films, Trisha remains vibrant on social media, regularly sharing glamorous photos to excite her fans.

    Ooru Peru Bhairavakona Review: Sundeep Kishan's career-best performance.. 'Bhairavakona'  creates an impact!
    Ooru Peru Bhairavakona Review: Sundeep Kishan's career-best performance.. 'Bhairavakona'  creates an impact!
    Cast: Sundeep Kishan, Varsha Bollamma, Kavya Thapar, Vennela Kishore, Ravi Shankar, Viva Harsha, Vadivukkarasi, and others Director: VI Anand Story: Bhanu Bogavarapu Music: Shekar Chandra Production Company: AK Entertainments Producer: Anil Sunkara, Balaji Gutta Release Date: 16-02-2024 In 'Ooru Peru Bhairavakona', directed by VI Anand and starring Sundeep Kishan as the protagonist, the film unfolds with a thriller and socio-fantasy narrative. Co-starring Kavya Thapar and Varsha Bollamma as the female leads, the movie, which has completed its shooting, was released today. Let's find out how the film is and whether it will bring success to Sundeep Kishan or not. Story Basava (Sundeep Kishan), a stuntman, falls in love with Bhoomi (Varsha Bollamma) after an unexpected twist. For her sake, and to help the people of her village, he commits a jewelry heist at a wedding with his gang, John (Viva Harsha) and Agraharam Geetha (Kavya Thapar). In an attempt to escape the police, they end up in a village called Bhairavakona. However, no one who entered this village will ever come back alive. What challenges did Basava face in Bhairavakona? What is the history of Bhairavakona? How is it connected to the missing pages of the Garuda Puranam? Did Basava and his gang manage to survive? That is the story. Performances Sundeep Kishan has justified his role as Basava and delivered his career-best performance. He brought emotional depth to every scene he's in. Varsha Bollamma, as Bhoomi, did okay, though her impact was less due to the weak scenes written for her character. Kavya Thapar looked beautiful in her role. The comedy timing of Vennela Kishore and Viva Harsha as a duo was engaging. Brahmaji also managed to evoke laughter. Ravi Shankar, Vadivukkarasi, Jayaprakash, and others performed well within the scope of their roles. Direction The world of Bhairavakona, created by director VI Anand from the story written by Bhanu Bogavarapu, is intriguing. The director successfully piqued the interest of the audience right from the beginning by showcasing the village. Despite the strong story, the narration failed in some parts. The interest generated in the introduction of the characters in Bhairavakona doesn't carry into the story. The romance between the lead characters and their relationship is shown in a rather straightforward manner. Though the interval bang raises expectations for the second half, the director couldn't maintain the momentum. The comedy by Vennela Kishore, Viva Harsha, and Brahmaji is a relief for the audience. Technically The technical team, led by director VI Anand, has delivered a good output. Shekar Chandra's music became a super hit before the movie's release, and the background score is also impressive. The cinematography and visual effects are commendable. The production values are of high quality. Plus Points Novelty in the storySundeep Kishan's actingTwists Minus Points Uninteresting scenesSecond half Telugu.yousay.tv Rating: 2.5/5

Production House: Vyra Entertainment Release Date: 07-12-2023 Nani, who has risen in the film industry without any cinematic background, has always set himself apart by choosing films without considering trends or image. After joining the 100-crore club for the first time with his movie 'Dasara', Nani is back with 'Hi Nanna'. The film introduces Shouryuv as the director. The pre-release promotions featuring Nani and Mrunal Thakur were eye-catching. Let's see how the film turned out and whether it conveys the emotional bond between father and daughter. Plot Viraj (Nani) is a fashion photographer in Mumbai and adores his daughter Mahi (Kiara). He entertains her with stories where he is the hero. One day, when Mahi asks for a story about her mother, Viraj hesitates. This leads Mahi to run away from home. During this, Mahi is saved from an accident by Yashna (Mrunal Thakur). While in a coffee shop, Viraj arrives searching for his daughter and finally tells her the mother's story. What is this story? Who is Varsha?
