David Warner's Bollywood Dream: From Cricket Star to Telugu Movie Sensation?
Australian star cricketer David Warner, apart from being known for his cricket, has gained recognition as an actor on social media too. He has surprised everyone in the past by making reels of various dialogues and songs related to Telugu movies. Videos of him imitating heroes like Allu Arjun, Prabhas, and Mahesh Babu had become trending on social media previously. Recently retired from international cricket, Warner is said to be stepping into films, starting with a Telugu movie, as per the buzz online.
'Pushpa 2' in a Key Role!
In the pan-India film 'Pushpa 2', directed by Sukumar with Allu Arjun as the hero, news is swirling on social media that former Australian cricketer David Warner is playing a special role. A still involving Warner, surrounded by professional bouncers, is circulating online. In this photo, Warner, dressed in a white outfit, is seen stylishly holding a gun. Netizens speculate that this look is from 'Pushpa 2'. However, there's no confirmation from the makers of 'Pushpa 2' yet, but Warner's fans are hoping this news is true.

Sukumar's Plan?
David Warner has a special connection with 'Pushpa' (Pushpa: The Rise), starring Icon Star Allu Arjun. The song 'Srivalli' from this movie was a huge hit across India, and Warner had also made reels to it which went viral back then. Moreover, Warner had repeatedly mimicked Allu Arjun's signature style on the field, endearing him to the Telugu audience. Given this background, there's information that director Sukumar intends to leverage Warner's popularity in 'Pushpa 2'. If this is true, it’s a guaranteed chance to see Warner in 'Pushpa 2'.

Close to IPL
Telugu cricket fans respect Warner as much as they do Team India players. Warner served as the captain for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and even led the team to an IPL trophy win. This support from Telugu fans is substantial. Warner reciprocated by dancing to Telugu songs and quoting movie dialogues in his reels, thus becoming closer to the Telugu folks. He has often expressed his love for Hyderabad and its people, mentioning how much he misses Hyderabad. Many are hoping that Sunrisers Hyderabad will pick Warner again in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Ad Shoot with Rajamouli
For a popular payments app CRED, Rajamouli and David Warner once acted together in a humorous ad. In the opening of the ad, Rajamouli asks Warner what needs to be done to get discounts on match tickets. Warner replies, "Raja sir.. if you have the CRED UPI app, you get cashback." Rajamouli responds, asking if it wouldn’t work with a normal UPI app, prompting Warner to ask for a favor to act in his movie, wondering what it would be like if Warner truly starred as a hero in his film. Imagining Warner in a Baahubali-like getup causing mischief and performing dance steps and dialogues, Rajamouli is momentarily frightened. This ad had gone extremely viral at the time. Watch it again here.

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

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

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

Rivalries Escalate: How Fan Wars Are Threatening the Future of Indian Cinema
Once, Bollywood was synonymous with the Indian film industry, where only Hindi stars were considered pan-India celebrities. However, the scenario has completely changed now. The South Indian film industry is also making a mark on the Indian box office and gaining national attention. South Indian cinemas from Tollywood and Kollywood are providing stiff competition to Bollywood's dominance. At such a transformative phase, fan wars, especially from the South Indian industry, are weakening its impact. If unchecked, this could pose serious threats to the industry's future.
Tollywood vs Kollywood
Fan wars used to be confined within a single industry, where fans would engage in posting criticisms against each other. Now, with the rise of pan-India films, these battles have spilled over to other industries. Fans are unable to tolerate if a film from another industry outperforms their favorite star's movie in collections. This rivalry is particularly evident between Tollywood and Kollywood. Tamil hero Vijay's films see massive trolling from Telugu audiences upon release, and similarly, when Telugu films release, they face significant online backlash from Tamil audiences.

What's the Damage?
Many might think these fan wars, instigated by just a few, are harmless to the heroes and the film industry. That's a misconception. These trolls influence a significant portion of the audience from respective industries, inadvertently fostering resentment against stars from rival industries. This results in outright rejection and negative campaigning against films upon their release, even if the films are well-made, affecting their overall collections. Films that perform well in the North are being sabotaged in the South, highlighting the adverse effects of unchecked fan wars.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1841876236840374698
Impending Releases at Risk!
Several big-budget pan-India films are set for release soon from both Tollywood, like 'Pushpa 2', 'Game Changer', and from Kollywood with stars like Suriya and Sivakarthikeyan. If fan wars are not controlled, these films could face significant setbacks despite their potential. The film community urges that good cinema should be supported beyond regional biases to achieve true pan-India success. Otherwise, Bollywood could indirectly benefit from these continued rivalries.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1841876236840374698
Check Needed on Title Clashes!
It’s crucial for directors and producers from significant industries like Tollywood and Kollywood to avoid fueling fan wars. Recently, more Kollywood films have been released directly with Tamil titles in Telugu-speaking regions, causing discontent among the Telugu audience. Mistakes by a few can risk generating widespread animosity against the Tamil industry as a whole. Measures must be taken to prevent such occurrences in the future.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1841876236840374698
Political Turn
Comments made by AP Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan, intended to protect Sanatana Dharma, have stirred controversies in Tamil Nadu. Indirect comments aimed at Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, also an actor, escalated this into a war between Telugu and Tamil film industries, with fans clashing on social media platforms. Both fans have been vehemently trolling each other, comparing Pawan Kalyan’s film career with Udhayanidhi’s credentials.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1841876236840374698
Pawan Kalyan vs. Allu Arjun
The Mega Family, one of Tollywood’s most influential families, has produced more than a dozen actors. Recent rumors suggest a rift between Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun, intensified during the AP elections when Allu Arjun allegedly supported a candidate from an opposing party. This has led Mega fans to target Allu Arjun extensively, while the 'Allu Army' defends their hero in return. However, at a recent government event, Pawan Kalyan mentioned both actors from Tollywood, including Allu Arjun, expressing high regard for them, which fans perceive as an attempt to quell the controversy. Yet, Mega fans continue to urge on social media not to promote Allu Arjun's upcoming film 'Pushpa 2'.

Natural Star Nani: Indirect Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?
Prominent directors and producers in Tollywood are adopting a new trend by announcing release dates even before the completion of movie shootings. Due to delays and other issues during production, they often have to quickly announce new dates if they fail to release on the initially promised date. This practice of locking dates in advance for big-budget movies is reportedly causing issues for smaller films and tier-2 heroes. Natural Star Nani has responded strongly to this issue, which has become a hot topic in the industry.
'That attitude is not correct'
It is natural for films to be postponed. Reasons such as adjustments of actor dates, VFX delays, and other shooting delays often lead to postponements. However, the frequency of delays has increased recently. Nani has made fiery comments about the practice of announcing release dates without certainty and then postponing them. During promotions for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," he addressed this issue, stating, "Announcing a release date without clarity harms many. We should set a date only if the movie is ready; otherwise, we should wait. This attitude of announcing a date and then changing it isn’t right." These comments have sparked significant discussion within Tollywood, with both industry insiders and netizens supporting Nani’s views.
Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?
Nani did not specifically mention any film in his latest comments, but industry circles are discussing that he was referring to the 'Pushpa 2' team. Reportedly, Nani's "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram" was initially targeted for an August 15 release at the beginning of its production. However, since Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' had already locked that date, the "Saripodhaa" team had to reschedule for late August (August 29). Unexpectedly, the 'Pushpa 2' team moved their release to December 6, releasing a special poster to announce it. This shift allowed other films like "Double iSmart," "Mr. Bachchan," "Thangalaan," and "Aay" to move their schedules to August 15. Considering this, Nani had to bring his film on August 29. The timing of 'Pushpa 2' locking August 15 initially led to the loss of a long weekend for "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," prompting speculation that Nani's comments were an indirect warning to them.
Run Time Fixed for Nani’s Movie!
Nani's latest film "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," directed by Vivek Athreya, is set to release on Thursday, August 29. Priyanka Arul Mohan stars as the heroine. The film has recently completed its censor formalities and has reportedly received a U/A certification. S.J. Suryah, who plays the villain, revealed that the runtime has been fixed at 2 hours and 50 minutes. This follows the earlier Nani-Vivek Athreya collaboration "Ante Sundaraniki," which also had a runtime of around three hours.

Prabhas Vs Arshad Warsi: Bollywood Actor's Criticism of Prabhas Sparks Strong Reactions from Telugu Heroes!
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's inappropriate comments comparing Prabhas’ look in the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' to that of a joker have sparked intense controversy. Prabhas' fans are expressing their outrage, accusing Bollywood of failing due to such ego and jealousy. Telugu heroes have also reacted strongly to Arshad Warsi's remarks, standing in support of Prabhas. Young heroes Sudheer Babu and Aadi have delivered sharp counters in response. Let’s take a look at the details.
What Exactly Happened?
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently made some remarks during an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he vented his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad stated that he had watched 'Kalki' but did not like it. He compared Prabhas' role unfavorably to that of Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama, claiming that Prabhas' presence on screen made him feel bad. "Prabhas... I feel sorry to say this. For some reason, his look resembled that of a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie, like Mel Gibson. I still don’t understand why they did this," Arshad said. Prabhas' fans have been vocal in their displeasure over these comments.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1825097374680621099
Sudheer Babu’s Strong Counter!
Telugu hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his unique style. While stating that criticism is not wrong, he condemned Warsi's loose talk on the social media platform X. Sudheer Babu expressed his surprise that such unprofessional comments would come from someone like Arshad Warsi and asserted that such small-minded comments could never touch a monumental figure like Prabhas. Sudheer Babu’s remarks have also gone viral online, with Prabhas' fans supporting his stance.
https://twitter.com/isudheerbabu/status/1825746561495871657
"Perhaps It's Envy Towards Prabhas"
Young hero Aadi Saikumar also responded to Arshad Warsi's comments in his own way, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. Aadi wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor without insecurity. Without him, there wouldn't even be a Kalki movie. I actually found his role quite amazing. Maybe it's envy towards him." This tweet has been widely shared by Prabhas' fans, who argue that it's inappropriate to speak ill of someone as genuine as Prabhas.
https://twitter.com/iamaadisaikumar/status/1825250706938380360
"It Seems Like the Pain of Fading Out"
Telugu director Ajay Bhupathi's post on Arshad Warsi's remarks has also gained attention. He wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor who gives his all for cinema. He tries to elevate Indian cinema to the next level. I can see the jealousy you have towards him and his films in your eyes. There’s a limit to everything, and there’s a proper way to express your opinions. It seems like you're hurt by fading out." It’s worth noting that 'Kalki 2898 AD' has grossed over ₹1200 crores worldwide. The film features key roles played by Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone.

Double Ismart: Cold War with Ram? Is that why Puri didn't attend the trailer launch?
Starring Ram Pothineni and directed by Puri Jagannadh, the upcoming film 'Double Ismart' is scheduled for a grand release on August 15. However, since the release date was announced, the movie team has encountered several issues. The entry of Ravi Teja’s 'Mr. Bachchan' into the August lineup and demands from 'Liger' distributors to settle their losses have posed significant challenges for the team. Additionally, recent rumors suggest there is discord between the hero, Ram, and director Puri. Let's delve into the reasons behind this alleged cold war.
Ram's Dissatisfaction!
After the success of 'Ismart Shankar' at the box office, a sequel titled 'Double Ismart' was developed by the Ram-Puri combo. Although the movie is set to release on August 15, recent developments have reportedly left hero Ram dissatisfied. The 'Liger' controversy and distribution issues in Nizam, along with producer Charmee not starting promotions, have frustrated Ram. It’s speculated that these conflicts led to Puri's absence from the trailer launch event on Sunday. The event, where Ram had to promote the movie solo, has become a hot topic in Tollywood.
Puri's Explanation!
Director Puri released a video statement regarding his absence at the 'Double Ismart' trailer release event. He explained that he was in Mumbai for the final mixing required for the censor board and couldn’t attend the event. He expressed his regret about missing the event, but netizens are skeptical about these claims. The absence of a director at such a crucial trailer launch, supposedly due to a rift with Ram, is being questioned by many. If 'Double Ismart' turns out to be a super hit, it might automatically bridge the gap between them, suggest some netizens. Despite widespread speculation on social media about their disagreements, the film unit has not clarified the situation.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1820365775439552575
How was the trailer?
The trailer of 'Double Ismart', released on Sunday, was exactly as expected, filled with mass action and raw dialogues. Ram dazzled with his trademark energetic action, mass dialogues, and dance moves. Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt plays the villain 'Big Bull', whose brain memory is transferred into Shankar's (Ram Pothineni) brain, a key element highlighted in the trailer. Director Puri Jagannadh has taken the chip concept from Ismart Shankar to a new level with a brain memory transfer in Double Ismart, raising expectations for the film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym0upoayqJg
Mr. Bachchan's Aggressive Promotions!
Compared to the 'Double Ismart' team, the 'Mr. Bachchan' team is actively engaging in promotions, conducting consecutive press meets to reach the audience. Promotions generally impact a movie’s opening, and analysts are surprised at the lack of initiative from 'Double Ismart' given the importance of such promotions. With 'Mr. Bachchan' entering the race on August 15, is Puri feeling the pressure? This is under speculation. There are doubts about whether Puri is anxious about the movie's outcome.
Backing Down Not an Option?
It seems the 'Double Ismart' team tried everything to avoid a clash with 'Mr. Bachchan' on August 15. They reportedly requested the Bachchan team to delay their release, but were turned down. In this context, producer Charmee recently blocked Ravi Teja and director Harish Shankar on social media, according to reports.

Bollywood Vs South Industries: Has a Cold War Started Between Bollywood and South Industries?
The current situation seems to be evolving into a Bollywood versus South India conflict. There are allegations that some Bollywood celebrities are struggling to accept the fact that South Indian films are creating a sensation on a pan-India level. In the past, national awards were mostly won by Hindi films, which also used to dominate in terms of box office collections. However, the situation has drastically changed over the past few years. Especially after "Baahubali," the influence of South Indian films at the Indian box office has significantly increased. Meanwhile, with the exception of one or two, Bollywood hasn't released films that made a significant impact. This has led to growing resentment and dissatisfaction among Bollywood actors toward South Indian films. In this context, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's use of derogatory language against actor Prabhas has sparked controversy. Recently, a South Indian star's harsh comments about Bollywood films have fueled speculations that a cold war has begun between Bollywood and South Indian industries.
‘Bollywood is Undermining Our Country’
Kannada star Rishab Shetty made controversial remarks about Bollywood. He claimed that Bollywood has portrayed our country in a negative light at international film festivals. He stated that he is trying to make films that the country can be proud of. In a recent interview, Rishab Shetty shared his opinion about Bollywood. "Some Indian films, especially Bollywood movies, portray our country negatively. Our films are invited to global events, and they roll out the red carpet for them. That's why I want to make sure I speak proudly about my country. I want to showcase the greatness of my country, my state, and my language to the world," said Rishab. These comments went viral, with some netizens supporting Rishab while others criticized him, sharing scenes from some of his past films.

Arshad Warsi's Grudge Against Prabhas
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently spoke in an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he expressed his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad said that he watched 'Kalki' and didn't like the movie. He compared Prabhas's character unfavorably to Big B Amitabh Bachchan's character Ashwatthama, saying that Prabhas's role fell short. He mentioned feeling sad while watching Prabhas on screen, expressing his disappointment. "Prabhas… I feel bad saying this, but he looks like a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie. He should be like Mel Gibson in it. I still don't understand why they made him look like that," he said. Prabhas's fans have expressed their displeasure over Arshad's comments.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1825097374680621099
Telugu Heroes' Strong Counter
Tollywood hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his own style. He said that criticism is not wrong, but speaking without control is definitely wrong, criticizing Arshad on the X platform. Sudheer mentioned that he never expected such unprofessional comments to come from Arshad Warsi and made it clear that comments from people with such small minds cannot affect someone like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also condemned Arshad's comments, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. "Prabhas, who has no insecurity, is the real deal. Without him, there wouldn't be a 'Kalki' movie. I thought his role was amazing. Maybe Arshad is just jealous," he wrote on X.

What Happened to Bollywood? : Allu Arjun
In recent years, South Indian films have been released on a pan-India level and achieved great success compared to Bollywood. Bollywood director Nikhil Advani recently shared interesting comments made by Allu Arjun about Bollywood. "In the past, I wanted to make a film with Allu Arjun. I met him for that purpose. He expressed his disappointment with the state of Bollywood. 'What happened to Bollywood? Why have you forgotten how to showcase heroes?' he asked. What he said is true—South Indian films showcase heroism and the key emotions in a way that connects the audience to the story. At one point, Bollywood produced many such films that achieved great success. Today, that element is missing in Hindi movies," said Nikhil.

#BoycottSaiPallavi Trends Over Army Comments as Her War Film 'Amaran' Releases; Bollywood PR Drama Exposed?
Sai Pallavi's latest film 'Amaran' is set to release this Diwali as a festive treat for the audience. The film, set against an army backdrop, has kept Sai Pallavi very busy with promotions. During this period, some netizens have targeted her, calling for a boycott of Sai Pallavi's films on social media. The hashtag #BoycottSaiPallavi is trending nationwide. A video of her past comments, perceived as insulting to the Indian army, has been going viral on social media for the last three days.
What Actually Happened?
As known, the film 'Amaran' is set against an army backdrop. This has brought Sai Pallavi's controversial past comments about the Indian army back into the spotlight, causing the related video to go viral. During the promotions of the movie 'Virata Parvam,' Sai Pallavi gave an interview to a YouTube channel, discussing terrorism and violence. She remarked, "We view Pakistani soldiers as terrorists, and similarly, Pakistanis see our Indian soldiers as terrorists. They think we are harming them. Violence is no solution to any problem. Wars were fought in the past when there was no law. Now, there is no need for that." These comments have ignited fury among netizens.

Demand for Boycott
In the same interview where Sai Pallavi allegedly disrespected the Indian army, she also made remarks that have been construed as offensive to Sanatana Dharma. This video too has gone viral, with netizens campaigning on social media for everyone to boycott Sai Pallavi's films. Nationalist and traditionalist groups are demanding a 100% boycott of Sai Pallavi's films, suggesting that since she favors Pakistan, she might as well make films there. They are criticizing her harshly, saying she is not really the national crush but a different kind of crush. A netizen has also demanded a boycott of her latest film 'Amaran' and even called for her removal from the upcoming Hindi film 'Ramayanam,' in which she is supposed to play Sita. There are demands for stringent action against those who speak ill of Sanatana Dharma. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi's fans are defending her, claiming her words are being twisted and unnecessary controversy is being stirred up.

She added emotional words to these images, stating, "Before starting the promotions for Amaran, I wanted to visit the National War Memorial. I went there a few days ago. It is a sacred temple that holds details about soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. I felt very emotional while paying tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan and Soldier Vikram Singh."

Recently, during the promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi made interesting comments. She mentioned that someone from Bollywood, representing a PR agency, approached her promising to enhance her image. However, she rejected this offer, stating she had no need for such services. Now, accusations are surfacing that this is a targeted campaign to tarnish her image as she is about to make her Bollywood debut with 'Ramayanam.' There are significant comments urging her removal from the role of Sita. Discussions in film circles suggest that the Bollywood PR teams are deliberately targeting Sai Pallavi.

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

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.

'Arthamainda Arun Kumar Season 2' Review: Tejaswi Madivada Steals the Show in This Steamy Corporate Romance
"Arthamaina Arun Kumar" Season 2 was released on October 31. Following the warm reception of the first season last year, the second season was eagerly anticipated. Directed by Aditya KV, the series stars Sidhu Pavan in the lead role, with Tejaswi Madivada, Ananya Sharma, and Rashi Singh playing key roles. The trailer released earlier heightened expectations. In the first season, a young man from Amalapuram moves to Hyderabad and humorously navigates challenges in a corporate office. This season interestingly portrays his rise in his professional life and how he faced various challenges. Let's see if this season meets viewers' expectations in this review.
Plot:
Starting a new job in Hyderabad, Arun Kumar quickly climbs up to Assistant Manager, facing challenges with his female boss. At this juncture, he is assigned a critical project. Tejaswi’s character schemes to sabotage his success. The story unfolds how Arun faces these challenges and whether he overcomes these obstacles.
Series Highlights:
The series consists of 5 episodes, each ranging from 25-30 minutes, totaling around 2 hours and 15 minutes of runtime. It's quite easy to watch as the story connects smoothly without boring the viewer. Particularly, the fourth episode proceeds dramatically and might feel a bit overstretched, interrupting the flow of the main story. However, the fifth episode captivates with suspense. The inclusion of adult content makes it slightly uncomfortable to watch with family, but it’s enjoyable for couples.
Cast:
Tejaswi Madivada plays a notable role in this series. Her bikini look in the trailer has attracted everyone with her glamorous portrayal. Although Tejaswi has not played such roles before, this time she appears fresh in her romantic character. Sidhu Pavan, as Arun Kumar, impresses with his performance, especially in scenes with Tejaswi. Ananya Sharma effectively portrays her character, aligning well with her acting scope, and impresses as Arun Kumar’s ex-girlfriend.
Direction:
Director Aditya KV skillfully continues the story of Arun from an amateur to a professional overcoming challenges in Hyderabad's corporate world in the first season. In the second season, he interestingly shows how Arun advances in his job and faces new challenges. However, the fourth episode could feel a bit draggy due to an excess of dialogue over action.
Technical Aspects:
Technically, the series is quite sophisticated. Every scene has a rich look, and the background music provided by Ajay Arasada enhances the scenes further. The cinematography is also notably well executed.
Conclusion:
For those looking for a good romantic entertainer over the weekend, "Arthamaina Arun Kumar" is the right choice. It promises complete entertainment.

Vettaiyan Movie Review: Rajini's Epic Battle Against Corruption in Education
Cast: Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, and othersDirector: T.J. GnanavelMusic: Anirudh RavichanderEditor: Philomin RajCinematography: S.R. KhadirProduction House: Lyca ProductionsProducer: Subaskaran AllirajahRelease Date: October 10, 2024
Superstar Rajinikanth plays the lead role in 'Vettaiyan - The Hunter,' directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for 'Jai Bhim'. Produced by Subaskaran of Lyca Productions, the film features Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles. The movie has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, the retention of the Tamil title in the Telugu version drew some criticism. Did the movie overcome these issues to receive positive talk? Did it bring Rajini another solid success after the blockbuster 'Jailer'? Let’s find out in this review.
Plot
Police officer Adhiyan (Rajinikanth) serves as the SP of Kanyakumari and earns a reputation as an encounter specialist. Based on a complaint from school teacher Saranya (Dushara Vijayan), he takes down a drug mafia leader. Later, Saranya is transferred to Chennai, where she unexpectedly becomes a victim of sexual assault and murder. As teachers' associations and the public protest on a large scale, the case is handed over to Adhiyan. He apprehends a person named Gunaa within 48 hours, claiming him to be the culprit, and executes him in an encounter. A judicial committee is then formed, headed by Judge Sathyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), to investigate the matter. What did the committee find? What was the reason behind Saranya's death? What role does the education mafia play in her murder? And how are characters like Patrick (Fahadh Faasil), Nataraj (Rana Daggubati), ACP Roopa Kiran (Ritika Singh), and Hanu Reddy (Sampath Raj) connected to the case? To find out, you must watch the movie.
Performance Analysis
As always, Superstar Rajinikanth delivers an exceptional performance. His mass moments, heroism, and elevation scenes make his character a visual treat. Especially, his dialogue delivery and mannerisms are sure to impress the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, in an equally important role, is fantastic, and their scenes together are electrifying. Fahadh Faasil, playing a police informer, is captivated by his witty performance. Rana Daggubati and Dushara Vijayan also got substantial roles and impressed with their performances. The rest of the cast has performed well within their scope.
Direction and Execution
Director T.J. Gnanavel, known for the socially conscious 'Jai Bhim,' attempts to deliver another strong message through 'Vettaiyan.' Adding mass moments, heroism, and commercial elements to the story was a major plus. The film boldly addresses how people exploit under the guise of "smart education." The director starts the movie on a commercial note with Rajinikanth's introduction and action against the drug mafia and takes the story into the core plot after Saranya's case. However, the slow pace of the narration and some predictable elements work against the film. But the scenes between Amitabh and Rajini are a highlight, adding intrigue. Rajini’s dialogues and the director’s handling of the star cast like Fahadh Faasil and Rana are impressive. The climax is also satisfactory.
Technical Aspects
In terms of technical aspects, every department performed well. The cinematography was excellent, giving the film a commercial look. Anirudh's background score, as always, excites the audience, and the fans are sure to enjoy it. The editing could have been a bit sharper. Lyca Productions did not compromise on the production quality.

Ram Charan's Dargah Visit Sparks Debate Amid Ayyappa Mala Controversy: Fans and Critics Clash Online
Renowned music composer A.R. Rahman invited actor Ram Charan to visit the Kadapa Dargah on Monday (November 18), where he inaugurated the 80th National Mushaira Ghazal (Urdu poet) conference. Initially, along with director Buchi Babu Sana, Charan visited the Vijaya Durga Devi Temple in Kadapa. There, he placed the script of his upcoming movie ‘RC16’ at the deity’s feet and conducted prayers. Later, at the dargah, Charan shared his connection with the place from his ‘Magadheera’ times. However, his visit to the dargah while wearing the Ayyappa mala has become controversial, with several netizens opposing it on social media. Mega fans are responding robustly to the criticisms.
Warm Welcome for Charan..
Mega Power Star Ram Charan (Ram Charan Kadapa Dargah) left Hyderabad Begumpet Airport to Kadapa on Monday night (November 19) at 7 PM. Upon arrival at the Kadapa airport, fans gave him a grand welcome. Aware of his arrival, a large number of Mega fans and Janasena workers created a buzz at the airport. As soon as Charan stepped out, he was greeted with loud cheers. He then headed to the Durga Devi Temple, followed by a large convoy of fans who celebrated his visit enthusiastically. Fans who arrived at the temple and dargah before Charan also gave him a grand welcome there. Videos related to this have gone viral on the internet.

Widespread Trolls on the Net
Currently, Ram Charan is wearing an Ayyappa mala. In this context, his visit to a dargah associated with another religion while wearing the mala is being questioned by many. They are accusing him of disrespecting both Hindus and Muslims. Some comments suggest that religious obligations must be adhered to by everyone, regardless of their status. They question if Rahman would accept an invitation to visit Tirumala, posing, "Can Rahman go there?" and argue that Charan has lost respect due to this single act.

Strong Responses from Charan’s Fans!
Charan's fans are vigorously defending him against the trolls on the internet. They are clarifying that this isn’t the first time someone wearing an Ayyappa mala has visited the dargah. They remind people that devotees first visit the Vavar Juma Masjid in Erumeli before heading to the sacred Sabarimala. They also share videos related to this. Some question if the Constitution prohibits Hindus from visiting other religious sites, noting that prominent figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP CM Adityanath have visited dargahs because they respect other religions. Fans criticize the trend of using celebrity issues to gain popularity, stating that it has become quite fashionable recently.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Style Evolution: A Sneak Peek into Prabhas’ Look for 'Spirit'!
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.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tollywood/comments/1gwzj5e/vanga/#lightbox
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.
https://twitter.com/PrasanthVarma/status/1858346779604906308
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.

Mall Overrun by Suriya Fans
As part of the promotions for 'Kanguva', the movie team recently visited Kochi, Kerala, and planned a promotional event at Lulu International Shopping Mall. Learning of the event, a massive crowd of Suriya's fans gathered at the mall to catch a glimpse of their favorite star, filling the mall to the brim. The mall management reported that they had never seen such a crowd before. Photos and videos of the packed event are circulating online.

Releasing on 10,000 Screens
Producer Dhanunjay recently made interesting comments about 'Kanguva'. He stated that the film would be shown on 10,000 screens worldwide, with over 2,500 in South India and 3,500 in North India. The goal is to reach a box office collection of Rs. 1000 crores globally. He also revealed that the stories for Parts 2 and 3 are ready and will be developed based on the success of Part 1. The film is expected to elevate Suriya to new heights and will place a strong emphasis on action and emotions.
AI-Assisted Dubbing
'Kanguva' will be released simultaneously in 8 languages. While Suriya himself has dubbed for the Tamil version, AI technology has been used to complete the dubbing in other languages. This marks the first time AI has been used extensively for dubbing in Kollywood, following a successful trial in 'Vettaiyan', where AI was used to adjust Amitabh Bachchan's voice. The experiment aims to be successful, and 'Kanguva' will also be released in major Indian languages as well as English, French, and Spanish.
