The upcoming film "Pushpa 2," starring Allu Arjun, is buzzing nationwide. Directed by Sukumar, the film is almost ready to hit theaters, with a grand release scheduled for December 5th. The shooting is nearly complete, except for two songs and one scene, raising concerns among fans about whether the film will release on the announced date. Amid these developments, an unexpected twist in the film's production has emerged: Thaman has been brought in to replace Devi Sri Prasad as the music director, which has been a hot topic of discussion.



Thaman Joins Pushpa 2 Team



It is well-known that star music director Devi Sri Prasad was scoring the music for "Pushpa 2" after his tracks for the first part created a nationwide sensation. Recently released songs from the film have already captured the youth's attention. However, rumors are now circulating online that Devi Sri Prasad has been set aside and Thaman has taken over the responsibility for the film's background music.







Dissatisfaction from Sukumar



Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have had a strong rapport, with Devi providing music for all of Sukumar’s past films, which featured hit albums. Sukumar had entrusted Devi Sri Prasad with the music responsibilities for "Pushpa 2" as well, and while he was satisfied with the songs, he was reportedly not happy with the background music. With just 29 days left until the film's release, and Devi Sri having his hands full, Sukumar decided to bring in Thaman to handle the BGM. Discussions with Thaman have reportedly taken place, and he has already presented some background scores to Sukumar. An official announcement regarding this change is expected soon.







Why Thaman?



Music director S.S. Thaman is renowned not only for his compelling songs but also for his exceptional background scores. Recently, his BGMs have been making waves, with notable contributions to films like "Akhanda," "Veera Simha Reddy," "Vakeel Saab," "Bhagavanth Kesari," "Guntur Kaaram," "Bro," and "Skanda." Thaman, already having worked with Allu Arjun in blockbuster films such as "Sarrainodu" and "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo," knows exactly what kind of musical elevations suit Allu Arjun’s films to make theaters erupt. Hence, there is a strong belief among fans that if Thaman provides the background music for "Pushpa 2," it will be phenomenal.







Another Music Director in Consideration?



Alongside Thaman, another music director, Ajaneesh Loknath, known for his work on films like "Kantara" and "Mangalavaaram," is also being considered for "Pushpa 2." Rumors suggest that Thaman might handle the first part and Ajaneesh the second, indicating that up to three directors might work on the film. However, industry insiders strongly believe that Thaman will be the sole provider of the background music, although clarity will only emerge with an official announcement.







A Rare Feat for Pushpa 2



"Pushpa 2" marks a significant achievement as Allu Arjun, previously known primarily to the Telugu audience, garnered a global fan base following the success of "Pushpa" (2021). With the film achieving pan-India and overseas success, "Pushpa 2" has generated substantial hype among international audiences. Pre-sale bookings have recently opened overseas, and the first 15,000 tickets sold out in record time—a first for an Indian film in America. The "Pushpa" team has released a special poster to announce this milestone.

Pawan Kalyan's films always create a buzz in Tollywood, turning theaters into a festive atmosphere whenever one of his movies is released. Currently, Pawan Kalyan is involved in projects like 'OG', 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Among these, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is significantly advanced in its shooting schedule. Recently, a major update about this movie has emerged, exciting the fans immensely. Let's see what it's about.



Final Schedule Begins



Pawan Kalyan's 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a period action adventure, is shaping up under the direction of Krish and Jyoti Krishna. The film is being made in two parts, and the shooting for the first part is nearing completion. According to the latest buzz, the final schedule of this movie is set to commence this weekend in a set erected in Vijayawada. This schedule is critical as it includes some of the most important scenes of the film. Pawan Kalyan is expected to join this schedule, which will involve around 200 artists. Bollywood actors Bobby Deol and Emraan Hashmi are also expected to participate in this schedule. With the completion of this schedule, the shooting will wrap up, leaving no doubts about the movie's release.







500-Person Fight Scenes



The makers have already announced a pan-India release of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' on March 28, 2025. Accordingly, the shooting has been progressing rapidly to finish the film. Recently, under the supervision of Hollywood action director Nick Powell, the team filmed large-scale battle scenes involving Pawan Kalyan and between 400 to 500 people. This fight sequence is expected to be a highlight of the film, mesmerizing the audience with Pawan's action. Oscar winner Keeravani is providing the music for the film, and Nidhhi Agerwal is playing the female lead.







Pawan Heading to Bangkok!



Along with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', the shooting of 'OG' is also progressing smoothly. Young director Sujeeth is rapidly filming scenes that do not involve Pawan. Pawan is aiming to finish shooting for both films by the first week of December. As part of this, he is expected to complete the 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' shoot this weekend. Afterwards, he will join the 'OG' team, which plans to shoot an action sequence in Bangkok. This schedule is set to complete Pawan's commitments, and he will head to Bangkok next week to join the 'OG' shoot.







Pawan vs. Vijay Deverakonda Big Fight



There appears to be a box office clash shaping up for summer 2025 between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set to release on the same date as Vijay's 'VD 12', which was locked in by the team earlier. This sets the stage for a major showdown between the two stars. However, close associates of Pawan from Sithara Entertainments are producing 'VD 12'. Given this connection, they might not want to compete directly with Pawan's film, and there's a chance that 'VD 12' might look for another release date based on industry speculation.






<strong>Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Mind-Blowing Update from Pawan's Movie... A Feast for Fans!</strong>


Once limited to Tollywood, Power Star Pawan Kalyan's name is now resonating in the political arena as well. As the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan is actively making his mark in governance. Amidst the electoral context in AP, Pawan Kalyan, who had taken a break from films, has recently resumed his pending projects. This includes recommencing the shoots for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG. Pawan is set to return to regular shooting schedules soon. However, there's a buzz online about both films potentially competing against each other in the summer box office.



Pawan vs. Pawan



The makers have already announced that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' starring Pawan Kalyan is set to release on March 28, 2025. Yet, there are now plans to also release 'OG' in the same summer season, possibly in April or May. Fans are shocked by this unusual situation. Until recently, fans lamenting the lack of Pawan Kalyan films are now puzzled by this news. Online comments echo the sentiment, likening the situation to Pawan's line from Gabbar Singh, "I'm my own competition." Fans are concerned that releasing the second film within a month of the first could impact collections.







Hari Hara Veera Mallu Team's Dissatisfaction



There is apparent discontent within the Hari Hara Veera Mallu team regarding the decision to release OG during the summer. They insist that there should be at least a five-month gap between the two films. The industry is abuzz with talk of urging Pawan Kalyan to intervene. Everyone is keen to see which side Pawan will take as the situation seems to be setting up a Pawan vs. Pawan scenario. Analysts suggest that it appears OG might have to eventually defer, given the circumstances.







"OG... A Sure Blockbuster"



The film 'OG', a gangster action drama featuring Pawan Kalyan, is much anticipated. Pawan's character named Ojas Gambhir led to the title 'OG'. Music director Thaman recently hyped up the anticipation on an online platform. "Everyone is asking about OG updates. Updates will come soon; work related to it is ongoing. But I can assure you, it will be an industry hit. Director Sujeeth has done a fantastic job, and cinematographer Ravichandran has provided stunning visuals. I must give my best to OG. This is going to be the biggest film from the DVV banner. Pin this tweet. We'll meet soon with updates," he tweeted, stirring more excitement among the fans. Thaman's tweet became a trending topic online.

Soon on the Sets, 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'



Following the blockbuster success of Gabbar Singh, the upcoming film 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' in the combo of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar is generating high expectations. Director Harish Shankar, who had been silent for a while, is now back as the projects Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG resume. Fans are eagerly waiting for 'Ustaad' to go on floors, especially excited for Pawan Kalyan's role as a police officer in the film. Industry insiders suggest that updates related to this movie will also be available soon, following the release of two glimpses that have already received a warm response from fans.






Pawan Kalyan's Double Impact: 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' Set for Summer Clash!


Whenever a movie from Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is released, it creates a festive atmosphere among fans. Theaters burst into cheers and chaos. However, the frenzy among Pawan’s fans at theaters has decreased lately since no films from him have been released following 'Bro'. With three big projects pending due to his political commitments, fans are eagerly waiting for his return. Amidst this, an exciting update about his upcoming film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has been released. A thrilling poster with the release date was shared by the makers. Interestingly, a Vijay Deverakonda film is also set to release on the same day.



Grand Release in Summer



Pawan Kalyan stars in the period action adventure film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', directed by Krish and Jyothi Krishna. The film will be released in two parts, with the first part nearing completion. Recently, the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' was announced by the team for a global release on March 28 next year. The special poster released shows Pawan wielding a sword, looking every bit the warrior, much to the delight of his fans who are predicting the film to be a superhit.







First Pan-India Film!



Despite being a star hero, Pawan Kalyan has not had a pan-India film until now. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set to be his first, releasing next year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Expectations are already sky-high, and the glimpses and teasers released have only heightened these. Any small update about this prestigious film instantly trends, showing the massive anticipation. The film, produced under the Mega Surya Production banner by A.M. Ratnam began its initial shooting phase with Krish Jagarlamudi, and currently, Jyothi Krishna is directing it.







Activity in Other Projects Too!



Alongside 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', Pawan has two more exciting projects in hand. He is working with the talented director Sudeep on 'OG', and with Harish Shankar on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Due to his political engagements, shooting for these films was also delayed. With the shoot for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' resuming today in Vijayawada, signals are that the other two projects will soon kick off too. Pawan is keen to finish these projects quickly before fully focusing on politics in Andhra Pradesh.







Pawan vs Vijay Deverakonda!



With the announcement of the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda seems imminent. Vijay's 'VD 12' is also set to release on March 28 next year. Vijay's fans are excited about the face-off, asserting that their hero is ready to take on the big star. However, producers close to Pawan, who are also behind 'VD 12', might consider a new date to avoid direct competition. On another front, Bollywood star Salman Khan's upcoming movie 'Sikandar' is poised to compete with Pawan's release, slated for an Eid 2025 release, which might impact the northern box office given the pan-India release of 'Veera Mallu'.






Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ to Clash with Vijay Deverakonda's Film in a Grand Summer Release!


With Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's entry into AP politics, his focus on cinema has significantly diminished. As a result, his movies 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'OG', and 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' have been pending for some time. However, there has been recent movement in these projects, except for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. The other two have resumed shooting, and the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' has also been announced by the makers. It was believed that among Pawan’s three projects, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' would release first. But now, the situation seems to have changed according to the buzz online.



Will OG Release First?



'OG', directed by young director Sujeeth, is in Pawan Kalyan’s pipeline. The latest buzz suggests that 'OG' might be released before 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'. Young and dynamic director Sujeeth is reportedly planning to release the movie quickly. Given the higher buzz around 'OG', the film team is considering releasing it first. They are planning to quickly complete Pawan’s shooting part and start post-production work. Discussions with Pawan are underway to announce the release date soon, which has got Pawan’s fans very excited.







Hari Hara Must Step Back!



'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', starring Pawan, is an upcoming period action drama. This film was the first among his three projects to start. Director Krish launched the movie back in 2020. Despite several breaks, Krish has completed 60% of the shooting. However, Krish stepped away from the project during the election period as Pawan was fully engaged in politics. Producer Ratnam’s son, director Jyothi Krishna, has taken over the responsibilities to complete the remaining shooting. With Pawan’s consent post-elections, they have also announced that the film will hit theaters on March 28, 2025. Now, with 'OG' potentially releasing first, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' might face new challenges. If Pawan supports the early release of 'OG', analysts believe that the team behind 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' will have no choice but to delay their release. It remains to be seen what will happen.







Why All the Hype Around OG?



Of all Pawan Kalyan’s current projects, 'OG' is considered very special. For the first time in his career, Pawan is playing a gangster role. Fans have already decided that this movie will be something extraordinary after seeing Pawan's acting in the glimpses of 'OG'. The film also stars Priyanka Mohan, with Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi playing the antagonist. Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Prakash Raj, Harish Uthaman, and Abhimanyu Singh hold key roles. The makers plan to release the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Director Sujeeth previously mentioned a connection with Japanese elements in the film, raising fan expectations to a whole new level.

What About 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'?



After the blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh', Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar are reuniting for 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Until the AP elections, there were frequent updates raising expectations high, but Harish Shankar has been quiet for a while. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' going back on sets, fans are hopeful that 'Ustaad' will soon resume. In this film, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is playing a beloved police role, which has greatly excited the fans. With two glimpses already released and well-received, the industry insiders suggest that an update on this movie will also be coming soon.






Pawan Kalyan's Movies: Is 'OG' Set to Release Before 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu'?

Stunning Telugu Heroines Tattoos: A Look at the Inked Beauties of Tollywood and Beyond


Last year, Power Star Pawan Kalyan launched three blockbuster films and then became heavily involved in Andhra Pradesh politics. After the elections, he took an oath as the Deputy Chief Minister and became even busier. With the formation of the new government and several commitments, Pawan Kalyan is finally finding time to focus on his pending projects. He recently resumed shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and is now ready to kickstart the film 'OG'. Next year, he will be presenting not one, but two films to his audience, sending his fans into a frenzy.



'OG' Release Date Fixed!



Pawan Kalyan, one of the biggest stars with a massive fan following in Tollywood, is currently involved in three cult projects. Among them, 'OG' has recently gone back on sets after a long hiatus. Rumors are circulating online about the film's release date being fixed. It is strongly buzzed that 'OG' will premiere on September 26, 2025. On the other hand, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is officially scheduled to release on March 28 next year. With these two pan-India films releasing in 2025, it’s indeed a double dhamaka for the fans.

OG Shooting Restart



Among Pawan Kalyan’s pending projects, 'OG' (OG Movie) has been eagerly awaited by fans. The shooting of 'OG,' which was postponed due to the Andhra Pradesh elections, has recently restarted. The movie team officially announced this news. A dark photo of director Sujeeth speaking with the unit on the shooting location was shared by the production company DVV Entertainment on social media. The post captioned, "We’ve stepped back into the OG fever to fire on all cylinders and create madness," went viral instantly.

Pawan to Hit the Sets Soon!



The shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' recently commenced with a massive set erected in Vijayawada. Pawan Kalyan is participating in this movie's shooting. It seems the team has decided to complete this movie first. Meanwhile, Sujeeth has restarted shooting for 'OG.' Initially, scenes without Pawan are being shot. It’s reported that in a few days, Pawan will also join the movie shoot. Fans are eagerly awaiting the day Pawan participates in the shooting.







Thaman Raises the Hype!



In the film 'OG' directed by Sujeeth, Pawan Kalyan will appear as a gangster named Ojas Gambhir, which led to the title 'OG.' Recently, music director Thaman responded about this movie at an event, stating, "I can definitely say that an industry hit is coming from us. Director Sujeeth has done a fabulous job, and cinematographer Ravichandran has provided superb visuals. I too must give my best to OG. It’s going to be the biggest film from the DVV banner. Pin my tweet, and we’ll meet soon with updates." This tweet from Thaman trended wildly online.




https://twitter.com/MusicThaman/status/1842245316252209456




What About 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'?



Following the blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh,' Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar’s upcoming film is 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh.' Director Harish Shankar, who had raised expectations with continuous updates before the Andhra Pradesh elections, has been silent for a while. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' back on sets, fans are hopeful that 'Ustaad' will also commence soon. Pawan Kalyan will be playing a police officer in this project, which has fans highly anticipating its release. Industry sources indicate that an update on this movie will also be available soon.







Pawan vs Vijay Deverakonda!



With the announcement of the release date for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,' a box office clash between Pawan and Vijay Deverakonda seems imminent. The makers of Vijay's 'VD 12' had previously announced a release date of March 28 next year, the same date fixed by the 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' team. A big fight at the box office is expected. Film circles suggest that a clash with a big star like Pawan is inevitable for Vijay Deverakonda. However, close associates of Pawan, who are producers at Sitara, are behind 'VD 12'. Therefore, there might not be a competition as they might choose a new date to release 'VD 12'.






Pawan Kalyan: 'OG' Release Date Set? Double Dhamaka for Pawan Fans in 2025!


In the current film industry, the Pan-India trend is prevailing. Recognized as star heroes, many are releasing their films at a national level, thereby significantly boosting their movie collections. At the same time, the trend of making sequels has been catching on, a practice that began with 'Baahubali' and has now reached its peak with films like 'Pushpa', 'Salaar', 'Hanuman', 'Kalki 2898 AD', and 'Devara' being planned as two-part movies. Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is also expected to be released in two parts. However, it seems the duo of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is set to challenge this sequel trend. Let's delve into the details.



As a Single Part...



After the blockbuster 'Devara: Part 1', the combination of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel is known to be coming up with a film currently under the working title 'NTR 31'. Given Prashanth Neel’s penchant for sequels, as seen with his films 'KGF' and the expected sequels for 'Salaar', it was anticipated that this new project would also be a multi-part saga. However, in a surprising move, 'NTR 31' is decided to be made as a single-part film. Prashanth Neel has decided to wrap up the story in just one part, and it's also planned to be concise in terms of runtime.







Are Sequels Necessary?



Director S.S. Rajamouli laid the foundation for sequels with 'Baahubali'. Since then, the Telugu film industry has seen a continuous stream of sequels. While it’s justified to plan sequels when the story is too extensive to fit into a single part, and while audiences have welcomed this trend, planning sequels just to capitalize on box office collections without a compelling story can backfire, as has been speculated to happen with 'Devara'. Netizens have argued from day one that 'Devara' did not have enough substance to warrant a two-part film. The movie did well mainly because of Jr NTR’s one-man show and Anirudh's music, but many in the audience felt that their money wasn't well spent. Noticing this, the team behind 'NTR 31' has decided against taking the risk of a sequel.







A Check on Expectations



Usually, sequels are made for films that have been huge successes. By introducing a surprising link to the second part at the end of the first, directors raise high expectations for the sequel. This has been observed since 'Baahubali'. However, complete satisfaction among audiences usually comes only after the full story is known, which nowadays seems to be stretched over two parts, making them wait months to see the conclusion. This prolonged anticipation can sometimes lead to significant viewer fatigue. Comments on the internet suggest that interest in waiting for second parts is waning among audiences. In light of this, Tarak and Prashanth Neel are being cautious with 'NTR 31'.







Shooting Starts in November!



Pre-production for 'NTR 31' is currently underway, with the storyline nearly finalized. Rukmini Vasanth has been reportedly chosen to star opposite Tarak, as per strong buzz online. Moreover, regular shooting for the film is set to commence in November. Tarak is expected to join the shooting in January or February. Prashanth Neel aims to launch the movie by January 9, 2026, and plans to complete the film swiftly.







Against a Bangladeshi Backdrop...



The upcoming 'NTR 31', directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is creating a stir in Tollywood as a periodic action drama. It's rumored that the film, set in Bangladesh, revolves around a young man who lives as a farmer and becomes involved in unexpected events, fighting for the locals. Tarak's character, as directed by Prashanth Neel, will be showcased in two different variations, promising a next-level performance compared to his previous roles.







After 'War 2' Hits the Sets



Tarak is known to be part of 'War 2', a Bollywood film directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, where he plays a character with negative shades. He has already participated in the shooting of this film. After completing his commitments for 'War 2', Tarak plans to fully focus on 'NTR 31'. If 'War 2' wraps up as scheduled, it will release on August 15 next year, after which Tarak will adjust his dates for Prashanth Neel.

Cast



Allu Arjun, Rashmika, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, Anasuya, Rao Ramesh, Dhanunjaya, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Tarak Ponnappa, Ajay, Sritejas, and others



Written and Directed by: Sukumar Music: Devi Sri Prasad Cinematography: Miroslaw Kuba Brozek Editing: Naveen Nooli Producers: Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Yalamanchili Production Houses: Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings Release Date: December 5, 2024



Everyone knows what a sensation "Pushpa" (2021) created when it was released with Allu Arjun in the lead role under Sukumar's direction. As a result, its sequel "Pushpa 2" has garnered nationwide attention. The movie features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead opposite Bunny, while Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil plays the antagonist. The already-released trailer, teaser, promotional materials, and marketing campaigns have significantly raised expectations. The film team also conducted promotions in various major cities across the country, further increasing the hype. The film released worldwide on December 5th in Telugu, Hindi, and several other South Indian languages. So how is "Pushpa 2"? Did it impress the audience? Did it achieve blockbuster success? Let's find out in this review.



Story



Pushparaj (Allu Arjun), who started his journey as a red sandalwood coolie, rises to become the leader controlling a smuggling syndicate. He expands his syndicate's operations internationally and grows powerful enough to influence politics by funding the ruling party. During this time, his rivalry with SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil) intensifies. Despite his aggressive nature outside, Pushparaj never disobeys his wife Srivalli (Rashmika). One day, when Pushparaj sets out to meet the Chief Minister with MP Siddappa (Rao Ramesh), Srivalli eagerly asks him to get a photo with the CM. However, when Pushpa makes this request, the CM mocks him. This leads Pushpa to challenge that he will make MP Siddappa the Chief Minister. What does Pushpa do to achieve this? What's his conflict with Central Minister Veera Pratap Reddy (Jagapathi Babu)? What plans does SP Shekhawat devise to stop Pushpa? Does Pushpa keep his promise to Srivalli? The story revolves around these questions.







Performances



Bunny (Allu Arjun) once again excels as Pushpa Raj. He shows even more impact in terms of language and body language. He mesmerizes in fights and dances. Particularly, his acting in the Jatara episode and climax reaches another level. Rashmika as Srivalli delivers a memorable performance with great chemistry alongside Allu Arjun. Compared to the first part, she's given more glamorous scenes in the sequel. Her performance peaks in many scenes. Sreeleela enchants with the "Kissika" song, dazzling with her dance moves as usual. Fahadh Faasil performs well as Shekhawat, though the character loses some seriousness as the story progresses. Rao Ramesh impresses as the MP. Compared to the first part, Sunil and Anasuya's roles get less prominence. Jagapathi Babu as the Central Minister and Kannada actor Tarak Ponnappa make their presence felt in the story. Jagadeesh appears in a key role as Allu Arjun's friend. The rest of the cast performs adequately within their scope.



Direction 



Compared to the first part, director Sukumar has expanded Pushpa Raj's territory further. He has incorporated his trademark psychological elements and mind games into the story. He keeps the audience energized with hero elevations throughout. Allu Arjun's introduction, the Tom and Jerry fight between Pushpa and Shekhawat, and the strategic moves are well portrayed. Though the story seems to move slowly, the interval bang takes it to another level. While showing Pushpa's business and political empires, the director effectively portrays his affection for Srivalli. The love and chemistry between Pushpa and Srivalli appear cute on screen. In the second half, the Gangamma Jatara episode is the highlight of the movie. Sukumar excellently showcases heroism and family emotions in this episode. The fights and family emotions in the climax are entertaining. However, the lack of strong villainy and excessive runtime can be considered drawbacks. In the crucial scenes, Sukumar has laid the groundwork for "Pushpa 3" with a twist and turn.



Technical Aspects 



Technically, the movie is brilliant, with every department delivering excellent work. Devi Sri Prasad impresses with both songs and background score. Another music director, Sam CS, also captures attention with his background score. Kuba's camera work is a major plus for the movie, grandly capturing every episode. Srikant Vissa's dialogues are engaging. The editing could have been more careful. Mythri Movie Makers' production values are top-notch, with richness visible in every scene.

'Pushpa 2' movie Review : THE BIGGEST INDIAN BLOCKBUSTER this season! Allu Arjun's Reign Begins


When it comes to the best on-screen pair in Tollywood, Prabhas and Anushka often top the list. Their chemistry has garnered a dedicated fan base, with fans frequently posting on social media wishing for them to get married. Though such rumors circulated for some time, they were eventually dismissed as unfounded. Currently, Prabhas is busy with Raja Saab while Anushka, also known as “Sweety,” is occupied with her film Ghaati. Recently, special posters were released on Prabhas’ birthday for Raja Saab and on Anushka’s birthday for Ghaati, sparking online discussions as fans noticed striking similarities between the two posters.



With a Cigar in Hand…



In Ghaati, where Anushka plays the female lead, she is shown in a rugged, intense look with blood on her face, smoking a cigar, surrounded by smoke. Interestingly, Prabhas’ recent Raja Saab poster also depicted him in a similar getup, holding a cigar in his mouth with a smoky effect. Fans have taken to social media, placing both posters side by side and tagging them as “King and Queen,” calling for a new film featuring the two together.

A Fierce Anushka



On Thursday morning, the makers of Ghaati released the first look of Anushka’s character, followed by a solid teaser in the evening. Unlike her previous films, Anushka appears more violent and intense, shown mercilessly decapitating someone while looking in a bus mirror. In the teaser, she is seen calmly smoking a cigar with blood-covered hands after the brutal act. This powerful role brings back memories of her impactful performances in films like Vedam and Arundhati, where she showcased her ability to take on strong, intense roles.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5FkYULk3Ls




All Hopes Pinned on Ghaati



Anushka, once a leading star in the industry, is currently facing challenges in her career, with fewer opportunities alongside major stars. Although her recent film Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty received positive feedback, it didn’t achieve the kind of success fans expected for her. Therefore, Ghaati is a crucial project for Anushka as she aims to re-establish her position in the industry. Similarly, Ghaati’s director Krish is also relying on this project for a comeback after the shelving of Hari Hara Veera Mallu.







Prabhas’ Upcoming Projects



Prabhas currently has a packed lineup of pan-India projects. Along with Raja Saab, he is working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Spirit, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2, Prashanth Neel’s Salaar 2, and Hanu Raghavapudi’s Fauji. He also has a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s ambitious project Kannappa. Recently, Prasanth Varma, known for HanuMan, reportedly narrated a story to Prabhas that he was highly interested in. Furthermore, discussions are ongoing for projects with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s Rajkumar Hirani. With these diverse ventures, Prabhas’ career is on an unstoppable rise.






Prabhas: Prabhas-Anushka Pair Back in the Spotlight… Why?


Producer Naga Vamshi, currently riding a wave of successes in Tollywood, has recently brought the film ‘Lucky Baskhar’ to audiences, which has turned into a major success and continues to gain positive reception. At a success meet celebrating this victory, Naga Vamshi shared some intriguing details, particularly about upcoming projects under his banner directed by Trivikram.



According to Naga Vamshi, after a disaster in 2018, two blockbuster films directed by Trivikram have delivered significant successes. Following these, preparations are underway for another major project with Trivikram, which will be a political thriller planned to hit screens before the 2029 elections.



The last film Trivikram directed with Pawan Kalyan was ‘Agnyaathavaasi,’ which unfortunately did not perform well at the box office. However, subsequent films featuring Pawan Kalyan, like ‘Bheemla Nayak’ and ‘Bro,’ continued under Trivikram’s guidance, raising audience expectations for a solid hit from their collaboration.







Plot Background



After Naga Vamshi's speech, there has been widespread curiosity about how the upcoming political thriller directed by Trivikram will unfold. Questions abound about how Pawan Kalyan will be portrayed and what powerful role he will play. The film might include aspects from Pawan Kalyan’s journey since 2014, the foundation of his Janasena Party, the 2019 election episode where Pawan Kalyan faced defeat, and the shortcomings of the Jagan government. The film is likely to majorly focus on Pawan Kalyan’s alliance with the TDP, the jail episode involving Chandrababu, and the strategic decisions taken by Pawan Kalyan.



Trivikram Srinivas, who has so far been confined to family, romance, and comedy genres, venturing into a political thriller has piqued great interest. However, details about the cast in this political thriller remain under wraps.







Given Pawan Kalyan's active political involvement, industry analysts believe this story aligns well with his current focus. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan is busy with multiple film shoots.



Pawan Busy with Shooting



Pawan Kalyan is currently involved in the shooting of ‘OG,’ a project that had been postponed due to the AP elections. The shooting for ‘OG’ has recently resumed, with the movie team officially announcing that it is planned for release on October 25 next year. The shooting for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ has also started recently, with a massive set constructed in Vijayawada for this purpose. Pawan Kalyan is participating in this movie’s shooting, which the team plans to complete first before confirming the release date.






Pawan Kalyan & Trivikram’s Political Thriller Before the 2029 Elections?


Directed by Koratala Siva and starring Jr. NTR, 'Devara: Part 1' has created a storm at the box office, becoming the biggest hit of Tarak's career. The sea fight sequence in particular has thrilled audiences, and Koratala Siva's creativity has been widely praised. However, there's a growing controversy online suggesting that these were not entirely Siva's original ideas, but rather direct copies from a Korean film. Here's the video that's trending as evidence.



What Actually Happened?



The introduction and interval scenes in 'Devara' are so dynamic that they're bound to give anyone goosebumps. No one expected a Telugu director to execute such an elaborate action sequence at sea. The film features a scene where the hero, along with his gang, goes to a ship to steal weapons, dumping the gun-filled crates into the sea. Members of the hero's gang, already stationed in small boats, then retrieve these crates to smuggle them past the naval officers. Yet, netizens are surprised to find a strikingly similar scene in a Korean movie, accusing director Koratala Siva of plagiarism. Audiences are mocking the director for fooling them, urging everyone to check out the Korean movie scene.




https://twitter.com/chiruthajsp/status/1849093752683716609




That Scene Too!



It's known that Tarak plays a dual role in 'Devara.' Initially, as part of the villain's gang, 'Devara' participates in smuggling for some compelling reasons but later turns good. Meanwhile, he also instills fear among his peers against smuggling. The director showcases a sequence with chairs filled with knives along the coast. However, this scene has also been accused of being copied, with claims that it closely resembles a scene from the Hollywood film 'Vikings.'




https://twitter.com/BackupBrainy/status/1833835236465029376




Is the Story of Devara Also Copied?



There were extensive promotions before the release of 'Devara' claiming that its story was adapted from a copyrighted novel. Tamil director Shankar recently accused that he saw key scenes from his copyrighted novel being used in a film, stressing that creators should respect rights and avoid copying without permission, warning of legal actions. However, Shankar did not clarify which film he referred to. But, the buzz on social media suggests that the story of 'Devara' closely mirrors the Tamil novel 'Veera Yug Nayagan,' for which Shankar holds the rights.







Similar Accusations in the Past



This is not the first time Koratala Siva has faced plagiarism accusations. He was also heavily criticized during the release of 'Srimanthudu' with Mahesh Babu. Writer Sharath Chandra even took the matter to court, claiming his story was copied. The issue had created a sensation across the Telugu states back then. In 2012, Sharath had published his story 'Chachentha Prema' in Swati Monthly, and while he was planning to adapt it into a film, he accused Koratala Siva of making 'Srimanthudu' based on his story.






SHOCKING: 'Devara' Director Koratala Siva Under Fire - Blockbuster Sea Sequence Allegedly Copied from Korean Film; Shankar Hints at Legal Action Over Story Rights!

Renowned for his classic films, director Sekhar Kammula is working on "Kubera." Starring Tamil actor Dhanush and Tollywood’s beloved Nagarjuna, this film has Dhanush in the role of a beggar, while Nagarjuna appears as a powerful police officer. The anticipation to see how Kammula will showcase these two stars is immense. The makers are determined to release the movie next year.

The film is set to release in two parts, with filming for the first part nearing completion. Pawan recently joined the shooting of this movie. The team has announced that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' will be released worldwide on March 28 next year.







Coming Soon: ‘Ustaad’ and ‘OG’!



Along with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,' Pawan has two more exciting projects in the pipeline. He is working with talented director Sudeep on 'OG' and with Harish Shankar on 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh.' Due to his political commitments, the shooting for these films was delayed. However, with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' resuming, signs are showing that the other two films will soon start as well. Pawan is keen to finish these projects quickly before fully focusing back on the political scene in Andhra Pradesh.
