Following 'RRR,' Ram Charan stars in the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer,' directed by Tamil star director Shankar. This political action thriller is produced by prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Fans are eagerly waiting to know when this film will hit the screens. Recently, a significant update regarding the release date of 'Game Changer' has emerged, suggesting a big surprise on Vinayaka Chavithi. Let's look at the details.



Release Date Locked?



It appears that a major update is ready for the film 'Game Changer.' The movie team is planning to unveil a poster with the much-awaited release date. The film is set for a pan-India release on December 20, as a Christmas gift. There's buzz that an official announcement regarding the release date will be made on September 7, during Vinayaka Chavithi, potentially through a special poster. Producer Dil Raju recently confirmed at a movie event that 'Game Changer' would be released in December, delighting mega fans.







Teaser Ready to Launch



So far, the 'Game Changer' movie has not released content up to the expected level. In response, the makers are preparing to release a teaser soon. They plan to surprise mega fans with the teaser this month, giving a full treat with two updates within the same month. Industry insiders speculate that the teaser might be released in the last week of September. If this happens, it will be a joyous occasion for Ram Charan's fans.







Why Only for Christmas!



It seems that mega hero Ram Charan is following in the footsteps of pan-India star Prabhas. Prabhas' film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' was released last Christmas and achieved blockbuster success. However, there's a reason why 'Salaar' was released during Christmas. With Mahesh Babu (Guntur Karam), Nagarjuna (Naa Saami Ranga), Venkatesh (Saindhav), and Teja Sajja (HanuMan) competing in the 2024 Sankranti season, it was decided to release 'Salaar' solo during Christmas for better box office results. Now, Ram Charan &amp; Co are also contemplating a similar strategy. With Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' locked for Sankranti 2025, and other major films like Venkatesh-Anil Ravipudi's film, Ajith's 'Good Bad Ugly', and 'Shatamanam Bhavati 2' also likely to compete, a Christmas release would enable Ram Charan to make a significant impact at the box office, just like Prabhas.







Director Shankar's High Hopes!



Director Shankar's recent release 'Bharateeyudu 2' was met with severe disappointment, with netizens commenting that it did not feel like a typical Shankar film. His previous films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehithudu' also underperformed at the box office. Therefore, 'Game Changer' has become crucial for Shankar to return to the path of success. Producer Dil Raju is also hoping to recover from the disappointment of his last film 'Family Star,' starring Vijay Deverakonda, which was a significant failure at the box office. Currently, both the director and producer are pinning their hopes on the success of the Charan movie.






'Game Changer' Release Date Locked announcement on Vinayaka Chavithi?


Featuring the distinctive actor Vijay Sethupathi, 'Maharaja' is a crime and suspense thriller that premiered in theaters on June 14 and achieved unexpected success. The film was a hit across all the languages in which it was released. Despite minimal promotions and lacking a star-studded cast, the movie demonstrated that compelling content alone can drive success. For those who missed it in theaters, a leading OTT platform has announced that it will soon be streaming the film. Let's delve into why 'Maharaja' was such a success and examine the elements that captivated the audience.



When is it Streaming?



The movie 'Maharaja', directed by Nithilan Swaminathan and featuring Vijay Sethupathi, has locked its OTT release date. It is set to captivate OTT audiences and will start streaming on Netflix from July 12. The platform has announced that the film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. The cast includes notable appearances by Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Nataraj, Bharathiraja, and Abhirami.







₹100 Crore Collections



'Maharaja' marks the 50th film in Vijay Sethupathi's career. There were no significant expectations for the movie prior to its release, and the production team did not undertake extensive promotions. Yet, the film started with a bang in theaters, quickly garnering positive reviews and substantial box office returns. Recently, it joined the ₹100 crore club, astounding everyone. This milestone, achieved in just a few days, was announced by the makers with a special poster, once again proving that content-driven films can command a massive audience.







Reasons for Success!



Director Nithilan Swaminathan crafted 'Maharaja' as a unique action thriller. Although the film follows a conventional revenge action drama structure, its screenplay mesmerized the audience. The narrative, spanning past and future timelines, impressed with its unpredictable twists and emotionally charged storytelling. Particularly, the twists during the interval and climax sequences, along with Vijay Sethupathi’s action, won over the audience. Furthermore, the portrayal of Vijay Sethupathi’s character deeply resonated with viewers. The injustice done to Maharaja's daughter moved the audience profoundly, and the revelation of his deep-seated anger even had the police sympathizing with his cause. These elements are why 'Maharaja' achieved such remarkable success.







What is the Story?



Maharaja (Vijay Sethupathi), a barber, loses his wife in an unforeseen accident and lives secludedly with his daughter Jyothi, away from the city. One day, Maharaja, injured, goes to the police station to report that intruders attacked him at his home and abducted Lakshmi, who had saved his daughter’s life. He pleads with the police to find Lakshmi at any cost. Who is Lakshmi? Why was Maharaja attacked? What is his vendetta with the attackers? What injustice was done to Maharaja’s daughter? What is the strategy behind Maharaja’s visit to the station? This forms the crux of the story.

Another big fight is set in the Indian film industry as two pan-India stars are about to clash at the box office on the same day.&nbsp;



Rajinikanth vs Suriya



A major battle is set to take place in the Tamil industry this Dussehra. The latest movie starring Rajinikanth, 'Vettaiyan,' and the film featuring Suriya, 'Kanguva,' are set to clash. The makers of Suriya's movie recently announced its release date as October 10. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' had already locked in on the same date. This imminent clash between two-star heroes is a hot topic in film circles. Fans are joining the internet to challenge each other, claiming victory for their favorite star in this big fight.







&nbsp;Massive Star Cast



The film 'Kanguva,' starring Suriya, is directed by star director Siva. Known for his super hit films like 'Vedalam' and 'Vivegam' with Ajith, Siva is collaborating with Suriya for the first time, creating a significant buzz in Tamil Nadu. Additionally, Bollywood actor Bobby Deol plays the antagonist, while glamorous doll Disha Patani is the heroine. Prakash Raj, Jagapathi Babu, and director K.S. Ravikumar play key roles, and popular comedian Yogi Babu also has a significant role. The promotional images released by the makers have already captivated the audience, with Suriya fans saying that Rajinikanth faces a tough challenge.







Suriya as a Tribal Warrior



'Kanguva' is one of the highest-budget films in Kollywood, reportedly costing over ₹350 crores. The film is expected to feature a powerful story, with Suriya appearing as a tribal warrior. The plot is set in 1678, with a time travel concept added, as per trade circles. This aspect will become clearer once the movie is released.







Rajinikanth - Amitabh



The movie 'Vettaiyan,' starring Rajinikanth, is directed by T.J. Gnanavel, who delivered the blockbuster hit 'Jai Bhim.' Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan plays a significant role in the film, acting with Rajinikanth after 32 years. The cast also includes Daggubati Rana, Fahadh Faasil, Rana, Ritika Singh, and Rao Ramesh. The movie centers around a retired police officer fighting against injustices in society. The promotional images hint at typical Rajini-style action, raising high expectations for 'Vettaiyan.' The question of who will emerge victorious in the October 10 clash is currently generating much interest.







In Tollywood Too...



Similar situations are emerging in Tollywood, with two star heroes likely to clash. Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2' release date has been moved from August 15 to December 6. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ram Charan and Shankar's 'Game Changer' might also be released in December. Producer Dil Raju is considering releasing 'Game Changer' in the first week of December, setting the stage for a big box office fight.






Rajinikanth vs Suriya: Big Fight Between Star Heroes... Rajini and Suriya Movies Clash at the Box Office!


The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', featuring Rebel Star Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin, has shaken the box office, garnering over ₹1100 crores globally. Since its release on June 27, this mythological science fiction movie has been breaking numerous records at the box office and continues to dominate theaters even after 50 days. Many are eagerly anticipating when 'Kalki' will be available on OTT. A recent update related to its streaming has come out, exciting the fans of Prabhas immensely.



Is the OTT Date for Kalki Locked?



It appears that Amazon Prime has secured the digital streaming rights for 'Kalki 2898 AD'. There is strong buzz that the film will be brought to streaming on August 23. However, it is rumored that the film will be slightly trimmed compared to the theatrical version, with about 6 minutes of footage potentially being cut. Official announcements regarding the OTT release and the runtime are expected soon. However, Prabhas' fans are expressing dissatisfaction with the decision to trim the runtime, questioning why scenes that were not in the theatrical version aren't being added instead.



Prabhas Pushes Shah Rukh Back



In 2024, 'Kalki 2898 AD' stood out as the biggest hit among all the releases so far, continuously setting new records and garnering immense popularity. It has reportedly collected over ₹760 crores across all languages nationwide, surpassing the all-time Indian collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'Jawan', which had collections amounting to ₹760 crores. Prior to 'Kalki', 'Jawan' held the fourth position in the list of highest-grossing Indian films. As per the latest collections, 'Kalki 2898 AD' now ranks as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film, following 'Baahubali 2', 'KGF 2', and 'RRR' in the top three spots.



Looks Like No Kalki 2 Anytime Soon!



With the blockbuster success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', anticipation is high for a sequel. Producer Ashwani Dutt previously hinted that 'Kalki 2' could be released around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already completed. However, recent buzz suggests that the remaining shooting might face delays due to Deepika Padukone, who is currently pregnant and due in September. Post-delivery, she plans to take at least a year's break from films, having already stepped back from a much-loved project by Rohit Shetty and a major Bollywood show. This indicates that Deepika might also be unavailable for 'Kalki 2's' shooting, potentially pushing its release to 2026 if this scenario unfolds.



Prabhas in Full Swing!



Currently, Prabhas has more pan-India films in his pipeline than any other star in the country. Any project with Prabhas isn't expected to start before 2026. Currently, he is working on 'Raja Saab' under the direction of Maruthi, which is progressing rapidly. He is also set to collaborate with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a movie titled 'Spirit', and a sequel to 'Salaar' directed by Prashanth Neel is in the works post 'NTR 31'. Prabhas is also set to portray Lord Shiva in 'Kannappa' starring Manchu Vishnu, and has another project lined up with Hanu Raghavapudi. All these projects are likely to take at least two years to complete.


From Screen to Stream: 'Kalki 2898 AD' Sets Sights on OTT Debut


There's a great fascination with actor pairings in the Indian film industry. When two heroes team up, the movie is halfway to success, or so everyone believes. Imagine the excitement when two national icons come together for the first time in a film. Such a 'never-before' combo seems to have been locked in Kollywood. Reports suggest that a Bollywood megastar will join Tamil superstar Rajinikanth in his upcoming film. Who is this hero? What's the film about? Let's take a look.



Exciting Combo Loading...



Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is currently acting in the movie 'Coolie' directed by hitmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film is being shot in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. According to the latest buzz, Bollywood star hero Aamir Khan is set to appear in a significant role. Reports from the Tamil film industry are abuzz with this news, and it is said that Aamir will soon join the shooting. This news is currently making rounds in Kollywood, awaiting an official announcement. For those who may not know, Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan have previously teamed up in a hindi film called 'Aatank Hi Aatank.'







Villain Role Played by Kannada Star!



Rajinikanth's film 'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is set for a pan-India release. In this film, currently in production, Kannada star Upendra will be seen in a significant role. Upendra himself shared this news on social media, expressing his blessing to share the screen with his idol, superstar Rajinikanth. He also shared a photo from the set with Rajinikanth, which quickly went viral. There's substantial buzz that Upendra will play the villain's role.







171st Film as Coolie



This film marks the 171st in Thalaiva's career and is being produced by Sun Pictures under a substantial budget, with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The shooting is progressing rapidly. Following the success of 'Vikram,' Lokesh Kanagaraj has become a highly sought-after director in South India, gaining a significant following in Telugu as well. The anticipation around any film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is high, and pairing him with Rajinikanth has created quite the buzz. There have been several updates about the movie making waves on social media.







Controversy Over Rajinikanth's Comments



Recently, Rajinikanth attended the book launch event of a biography written by Minister A.V. Velu on former Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi. His remarks during the event caused a stir. He praised the current CM Stalin for managing the party well after Karunanidhi's death. Mentioning State Minister Durai Murugan, Rajinikanth playfully remarked on how such senior members are being managed, indirectly poking fun at Durai Murugan. In response, Minister Durai Murugan sharply retorted, indirectly suggesting that senior actors like Rajinikanth are blocking opportunities for the youth by continuing to act despite their age. This exchange of words has sparked significant controversy both in Kollywood and Tamil politics.






Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' Set to Feature a Star-Studded Cast: Aamir Khan to Join the Epic Collaboration?


The film 'Devara: Part 1,' starring Jr NTR, is garnering nationwide expectations. Directed by Koratala Siva, this film is set to hit the screens in exactly 23 days, greeting global audiences on September 27. Bollywood beauty Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak, with Hindi cinema stalwarts Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol playing villainous roles, generating significant buzz for the film. Amidst this, recent news about the runtime of 'Devara' is circulating online, causing concern among Tarak's fans.



What is the runtime?



In the works under the combination of Tarak and Koratala, 'Devara' is currently in the midst of post-production. Reports suggest that the film's runtime has been finalized. The industry is abuzz that the Devara team has locked a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes. Fans are expressing concern, fearing that such a lengthy duration might be cumbersome. Most films exceeding 3 hours have struggled to engage audiences. However, it's too soon to declare this as Devara's final runtime since the movie still has to undergo censorship review. There's a possibility that the duration might reduce if the censor board decides to make cuts.







Will Koratala's magic work?



Regardless of the cuts made by the censor board, analysts believe that Devara’s runtime is unlikely to be less than 3 hours. The success of the film is expected to hinge on Koratala's screenplay. Considering his past directorial ventures like 'Mirchi', 'Bharat Ane Nenu', 'Janatha Garage', and 'Srimanthudu', Koratala's direction prowess is well recognized. He has successfully turned simple storylines into gripping dramas with engaging screenplays. If he repeats this magic in 'Devara', it could be a delight for the fans. The recently released 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' also had a runtime of nearly 3 hours, yet managed to impress with its excellent action drama and the direction skills of Vivek Athreya, combined with the outstanding performances of Nani and S.J. Suryah.







Films Affected by Long Durations!



Recent releases like 'Bharateeyudu 2', 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', and 'Ante Sundaraniki' arrived with lengthy runtimes and received a lukewarm response. Despite 'Bharateeyudu 2' being set aside, the other two films had good content but failed to captivate the audience. In 'Tiger Nageswara Rao', although Ravi Teja delivered a commendable performance, the extended duration resulted in a dragging sensation among the audience. 'Ante Sundaraniki' faced similar criticism despite its unique concept of challenges faced by a couple from different faiths. The excessive length was perceived as making the movie feel like a serial.







New Poster Release



Today marks the release of the third song from the film Devara. Having already released the first single, 'Fire Song', and the second single, 'Chuttamalle', both songs are trending on YouTube. However, the makers have announced that a third single titled 'Daavudi' will be released this evening at 5:04 PM. In line with this, a special poster featuring Tarak and Janhvi Kapoor in a romantic pose has also been released, captivating the audience.

Is this the story of 'Devara'?



It is reported that the plot of 'Devara' is based on real-life incidents as penned by director Koratala Siva. According to the latest buzz, the film portrays a brutal massacre of Dalits, drawing from events that once shook united Andhra Pradesh. It is said to depict the tragic incident of Karamchedu, where many Dalits fell victim to upper caste violence in 1985. Reliable sources confirm that Koratala Siva has planned to showcase this real-life incident in 'Devara,' significantly heightening expectations for the film. Currently, there is no official clarification from the film unit regarding the ongoing speculation on social media.






Devara: A Gripping Tale with High Expectations, But Will Its Runtime Test Audiences?


Ram Charan, in collaboration with director Shankar, is shaping up a Pan-India film titled 'Game Changer'. This is Ram Charan's first project after the colossal success of 'RRR', setting high expectations. The movie, being developed as a political action thriller, is produced by Tollywood producer Dil Raju. Mega fans are eagerly anticipating its release, scheduled as a Christmas treat. However, there’s a strong buzz that the film might also contend in the Sankranti race, sparking interest on whether it will pose a strong competition to Chiranjeevi's own film already slated for Pongal.



From Christmas to Sankranti Lock-in!



Sankranti is a major festival in the Telugu states, a popular release window for big-star films. Alongside this, Megastar Chiranjeevi has also locked his upcoming film 'Vishwambhara' for the Pongal race. Following this, there are talks within film circles that Ram Charan’s latest 'Game Changer' may also target a Sankranti release. Given the ongoing post-production work, a Christmas release might not be feasible, hence the makers are considering a shift to Sankranti to optimize returns, setting the stage for a potential box office clash between Chiru and Charan.







Is Distributor Pressure the Cause?



The shift of 'Game Changer' from December to Sankranti is reportedly due to distributor pressure. Distributors believe that moving this high-budget film to Sankranti would be more profitable than a Christmas release, as releasing during the Christmas period might not be as lucrative. Additionally, the concern is that with movies releasing around January 10 for Sankranti, missing this window could potentially result in a loss of long-period collections, as the film would only have a 20-day run to make a substantial impact.







Will Chiru Step Back?



Although father and son, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have yet to clash at the box office. If 'Vishwambhara' versus 'Game Changer' happens, it might send mixed signals to the fans, creating a dilemma on which movie to support during the release. Film circles speculate that Chiranjeevi might consider postponing 'Vishwambhara' to avoid a direct clash for his son’s sake, especially given the ongoing uncertainty over 'Game Changer’s' release date. Producer Dil Raju and music director Thaman have initially promoted the film for a Christmas release, yet the fans remain skeptical, now with heightened promotions pointing towards a Sankranti release. Missing the Sankranti window could deeply dissatisfied Mega fans, pressing the makers to lock the date for the festival.







Charan Says No to Reshoots!



Ram Charan has recently completed shooting for 'Game Changer' and shifted his focus to his next film under Buchibabu’s direction, ‘RC16’, adopting a new long-haired look and physique. However, recent reports suggest director Shankar was dissatisfied with some scenes from 'Game Changer', considering reshoots with Charan. When this was brought to Charan’s attention by producer Dil Raju, he declined, fearing it would delay his ongoing project 'RC16', for which dates were already committed.







Charan-Neel Combo Loading!



Another exciting project is brewing for Ram Charan with Prashanth Neel, known for delivering blockbusters like 'KGF' and 'Salaar'. Discussions have reportedly concluded for this venture, which DVV Danayya is expected to produce. However, this project might take time to commence, as Neel is currently occupied with 'NTR 31', 'Salaar 2', and 'KGF 3'. Charan also has upcoming commitments with directors Buchibabu and Sukumar, only after which the Charan-Neel movie might take off.






Ram Charan’s 'Game Changer' to Clash with Chiranjeevi’s 'Vishwambhara' This Sankranti?!


Venu Yeldandi, who entered the industry as a comedian, built his career by playing small roles initially. He then gained popularity as a team leader in the 'Jabardasth' comedy show. Shifting gears to directing, Venu's last year's film 'Balagam' was a blockbuster success, set against a rural Telangana background and received critical acclaim. Naturally, all eyes were on Venu's next project. However, a year after 'Balagam', the absence of a new project announcement from Venu sparked mixed reactions among fans. Amidst this, there’s a strong buzz that Venu has locked a project with a young hero.

The film, known as 'Yellamma', has also been registered as a title, generating buzz in Tollywood.







Nani, Teja Sajja Rejected!



Initially, there was significant buzz that Venu Yeldandi's next project would feature Natural Star Nani. Venu had pitched the 'Yellamma' story to Nani, but he was reportedly not satisfied with the second half of the script. Venu stood by the story, leading to Nani's withdrawal from the project. Subsequently, the story was pitched to Teja Sajja, who initially agreed, but this combination did not materialize due to unavoidable reasons. Finally, Venu presented the story to Nithiin, who gave his approval.







When Does Shooting Start?



Venu Yeldandi’s 'Yellamma' is set to start shooting in February next year. The announcement was made by producer Dil Raju during the pre-release event of 'Janaka Ayithe Ganaka'. Venu was also present at the event. As Venu approached the stage, Dil Raju from the audience asked about Yellamma's start date. Venu humorously replied, "You are the master of all actions here; you tell us. I'm ready to start tomorrow if you say so." To which Dil Raju clarified, "Let’s start in February."

In Tollywood, young heroes such as Nani and Daggubati Rana are highly popular among both youth and family audiences, thanks to their distinctive acting styles across various genres. Off-screen, Nani and Rana are known to be good friends. But what if these beloved actors were to become adversaries on screen? The idea of them challenging each other in a film is quite thrilling.

Let's explore what makes this so special.



In the Hit 3 movie...



The "Hit" series in Tollywood, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, including "Hit: The First Case" and "Hit 2: The Second Case," has been very successful. These films have significantly boosted the careers of actors Vishwak Sen and Adivi Sesh.

This Week’s OTT &amp;&nbsp; Telugu Movie Releases (12th&nbsp; July)


Multi-starrers are gaining immense popularity in Tollywood, with top stars showing keen interest in such projects. Following the success of films like 'RRR' (NTR - Ram Charan), 'Waltair Veerayya' (Chiranjeevi - Ravi Teja), 'Salaar' (Prabhas - Prithviraj Sukumaran), and 'Kalki' (Prabhas, Amitabh, Kamal), another mind-blowing multi-starrer is reportedly in the works. There is strong buzz that South Indian stars Ram Charan and Suriya are set to collaborate on a film.



Suriya as the Antagonist to Ram Charan!



A vigorous campaign is underway about an upcoming multi-starrer featuring global star Ram Charan Teja and Tamil star hero Suriya. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his expertise in crafting love stories, is said to be directing this project. The story has reportedly impressed Suriya already, and it is now awaiting Ram Charan's approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this high-profile project is expected to take off, promising intense fight sequences between Charan and Suriya that could shatter box office records, as fans are eagerly posting online.







After a Film with Prabhas!



Director Hanu Raghavapudi is already set to announce a major project with Pan-India star Prabhas. Discussions about this film, which will reportedly revolve around the Razakars movement before independence, have just concluded. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers and set to be titled 'Fauji,' promises to be a full-fledged action drama, a departure from Hanu's previous films. The focus will shift to the Ram Charan-Suriya project after the completion of this film with Prabhas.







Charan-Suriya Busy Busy



Currently, both Ram Charan and Suriya are busy with their respective films. Ram Charan is working on 'Game Changer,' while Suriya is involved in a project titled 'Kanguva,' set for a global release on October 10. Ram Charan also has a promising chance to entertain everyone in December with 'Game Changer.' Following this, he is slated to work on a sports drama directed by Buchi Babu, where Janhvi Kapoor has been locked in as the female lead. This film, tentatively titled 'Peddi,' is being co-produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Vriddhi Cinemas, and Kannada star actor Shivaraj Kumar is expected to play a significant role.







Mega Multi-Starrer Loading..!



Director Harish Shankar, closely associated with the Mega family, made significant remarks during the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan.' He responded to why he hasn't directed a Pan-India film yet, revealing that he has been preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If this project takes off, it is expected to become the biggest Pan-India film ever, surpassing all others, as per the enthusiastic posts by Mega fans. They are eagerly hoping that this project will start shooting soon. Previously, Chiru and Ram Charan acted together in 'Acharya,' and Chiranjeevi appeared in special cameos for Charan in films like 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera.' Similarly, Pawan Kalyan made cameo appearances in 'Shankar Dada MBBS' and 'Shankar Dada Zindabad.'






Ram Charan - Suriya: Is the Stage Set for a Multi-Starrer with Ram Charan and Suriya?


Global star Prabhas is currently at the peak of his career. His recent films, 'Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire' and 'Kalki 2898 AD', have been major box office successes, reinforcing his status as a top actor. Since the release of 'Baahubali 2', there has been a noticeable increase in the momentum of his films, with annual releases now a consistent part of his strategy. Last year, he starred in two films, and this year he has already introduced audiences to 'Kalki'. Next year, he is scheduled to appear in three films. Let’s delve into more details about these upcoming projects.



Three upcoming films in the pipeline!



After 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas's appeal has skyrocketed, elevating him from a regional Tollywood star to a global icon. He is not only maintaining this status but is also enhancing it with each new film. Currently, Prabhas has five major projects lined up. He is working on 'Raja Saab' with director Maruthi, 'Spirit' with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 'Kalki 2' with Nag Ashwin, and 'Salaar 2' with Prashanth Neel, along with a new film with Hanu Raghavapudi. The first three films are set to release in 2025, with 'Raja Saab' already scheduled for an April 10, 2025 release. Producer Ashwini Dutt recently mentioned in an interview that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is partially completed and hinted at a potential release around June next year. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' is expected to start production soon, with plans to release by the end of next year. Given these developments, it is confirmed that Prabhas will have three releases in 2025, as per Tollywood buzz.







Prabhas's consistent performance!



Prabhas is embracing the maxim "Strike while the iron is hot," actively producing films to enhance his popularity and fanbase at the peak of his career. He has been rapidly completing projects, offering double the entertainment to his fans. In 2023, he presented 'Adipurush' and 'Salaar' to his audience. This year, he has already entertained his fans with 'Kalki', and he is poised to appear in a cameo in 'Kannappa' this December. Looking ahead, he has three films lined up for 2025, and he is gearing up for 'Salaar 2' and a new project with Hanu Raghavapudi for 2026. While other leading actors like Tarak, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan are planning their releases with more time in between, Prabhas is swiftly producing movies, especially pan-India films, which is astonishing to everyone in the industry.







Prabhas races to lead!



The makers have officially announced that Prabhas's upcoming film 'Raja Saab' will be a summer treat in 2025, releasing globally in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi) on April 10. However, many major films have already entered the 2025 summer race. Naga Chaitanya's 'Thandel' and a multistarrer featuring Nagarjuna and Dhanush titled 'Kubera' are planned for next summer. Additionally, 'Toxic' starring Yash of 'KGF' fame and 'Sikandar' featuring Salman Khan are also targeting the summer of 2025. With Prabhas's film date locked, it's intriguing to see if these films will stick to their summer release plans or if they will adjust their schedules.






Prabhas Future Projects: Prabhas going strong in 2025 with three confirmed movies!


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.






Natural Star Nani: Indirect Warning to 'Pushpa 2' Team?


Young Tiger NTR's high-budget film 'Devara' features Tarak in a dual role, directed by Koratala Siva. Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor stars opposite Tarak. The film, which has completed its shooting, is currently busy with post-production works and is set to release worldwide on September 27. However, with 26 days to go before the release, pre-bookings have started in some overseas regions, where tickets sold out within minutes, prompting Tarak's fans to claim that 'Devara' has started breaking records even before its release.



Overseas Pre-Booking Frenzy!



Everyone in the country is eagerly awaiting the release of 'Devara', starring Tarak, set for September 27. Tarak's fans, along with movie enthusiasts, are eagerly counting the days. With a strong fan following for Tarak overseas as well, 'Devara' has generated significant hype there. Pre-bookings for 'Devara' have opened in some areas overseas. In Dallas, tickets were initially available on XD screens and sold out within minutes. So far, tickets for 52 shows across 19 locations in the US have been sold, bringing in $75,727 for 'Devara'. The current pre-booking collections are heading towards $100K, according to trade sources.

Trailer Release Date Locked!



A solid buzz around NTR's 'Devara' is spinning on social media. The makers have reportedly started preparations to release the 'Devara' trailer on September 15. The trailer editing work will also begin in the next two days. Tarak's fans are thrilled and post that the buzz will peak on September 15, eagerly anticipating the date. However, the 'Devara' team needs to confirm the trailer release details.







Stage Set for the Third Song!



The songs 'Fear' and 'Chuttamalle' from 'Devara' have received an unprecedented response from music lovers, particularly 'Chuttamalle', which garnered record views on YouTube. This has increased anticipation for the third song. Lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry has hinted that this song will be spectacular. There are rumors that the third song from 'Devara', a mass beat track by music director Anirudh, will be released as a Vinayaka Chavithi gift on September 7.







Have You Seen Tarak's Double Shades?



With a month to go before the release of 'Devara', the makers released a special poster on Tuesday (August 27) showing NTR in two different get-ups. The poster caption claims, "His arrival will shake the world in just one month," which has gone viral. Fans are enamored with NTR's different looks, praising his mass appeal in this film.

Focus on Promotions!



Shooting for 'Devara' is complete, with NTR recently announcing that he has finished his part. Director Koratala Siva has also wrapped up the remaining shooting. The film is now in full swing with post-production works, and promotions are set to start soon. 'Devara' is being produced jointly by NTR Arts and Yuvasudha Arts with an estimated budget of around ₹250 crores. Janhvi Kapoor stars alongside Tarak, with Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Bobby Deol appearing in villain roles.






Devara Bookings: 'Devara' Begins Record-Hunting.


Power Star Pawan Kalyan has made an indelible mark not only in Tollywood but also in AP politics. In the recent AP Assembly elections, 21 MLAs and two MPs from the Jana Sena contested and won, demonstrating their strength. After a decade-long wait, they achieved a 100% strike rate in the AP elections. This has significantly boosted Pawan Kalyan's fame nationwide. In this context, a question related to Pawan Kalyan was asked in the famous Hindi TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) hosted by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. Currently, the video related to this is going viral online.



What Was the Question?



The current season, the 16th of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' is ongoing, with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. The show airs every Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony TV. In a recent episode, Big B asked a contestant a question related to Pawan Kalyan. "Who assumed the role of Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh in June 2024?" was the question. The contestant chose the 'Audience Poll' lifeline for this question. Over 50% of the audience suggested it was Pawan Kalyan. The contestant locked in Pawan's name, and it turned out to be the correct answer, winning them ₹1.60 lakhs and moving on to the next question.

Pawan's Lineup



Currently, Pawan Kalyan has three major films lined up. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG' are in his pipeline. Director Krish has already stepped down from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', and Jayakrishna has taken over the responsibilities. 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' is to be directed by Harish Shankar. Pawan has also commenced 'OG' with young director Sujeeth. Glimpses and promotional posters related to these three films have been released and have notably attracted the audience's attention, especially 'OG', for which Pawan's fans are highly excited as he will appear as a gangster for the first time.







Busy in Politics



Pawan took a break from shooting three months before the AP elections, causing a significant hiatus in the shooting schedules of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', and 'OG'. The spectacular victory of Jana Sena in the elections and the subsequent formation of a coalition government where he assumed the role of Deputy CM were swiftly executed. However, Pawan has clarified that he will continue acting, stating his primary commitment is to public service, and he will complete pending films by shooting one or two days a week when possible. His fans are eagerly waiting for the deferred movies to resume.







Good News for Pawan Fans



Information is surfacing that Pawan Kalyan is ready to return to movie sets. Shooting for 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is scheduled to begin on September 23, and Pawan Kalyan is also expected to participate from the same day. There’s a strong buzz that he will be actively shooting for about 20 days. Pawan’s fans are expressing their happiness on social media platforms, anticipating his dynamic return to the silver screen.

Devi Sri Raises the Hype



Music director Devi Sri Prasad has made intriguing comments about the pan-Indian film 'Pushpa 2', starring Allu Arjun. He hinted that the movie is on another level, particularly praising the first half as mesmerizing. He revealed that they have already seen the locked first half, which is mind-blowing, including three scenes that are as intense as an interval in just the first half alone. Sukumar’s script and direction, along with Allu Arjun’s performance, are expected to bring a phenomenal cinematic experience. The background score of 'Pushpa 2' is also anticipated to be extraordinary.




https://twitter.com/Cinema__Factory/status/1845798162478272773




Trailer in November’s Second Week!



The producers have planned massive promotions for 'Pushpa 2', with the trailer expected to drop in the second week of November. The film has done a theatrical business of ₹650 crores, meaning it needs to gross over ₹800 crores to break even. Given the massive expectations in Bollywood, even an average reception is likely to lead to substantial profits, according to trade experts.







Mrunal for the Item Song!



The songs from 'Pushpa' were a massive hit, especially the item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" that became a nationwide sensation with Samantha’s captivating appearance. The chemistry and dance moves of Bunny and Sam energized the youth. Continuing this trend, director Sukumar plans to include a similar item song in 'Pushpa 2'. Many names have been considered for this special song, with Mrunal Thakur now being the latest mentioned. There were earlier reports of choosing Tripti Dimri or even Bollywood beauty Disha Patani, but now the buzz is strong around Mrunal Thakur. The film team is reportedly in talks with her to finalize the participation.




https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258




Climax as the Key Element of 'Pushpa 2'!



Shooting for 'Pushpa 2' is ongoing at Ramoji Film City, focusing on pivotal scenes between hero Allu Arjun and villain Fahadh Faasil. The climax, enriched with powerful dialogues and action sequences, promises to be a major highlight. Like the first installment, the climax of 'Pushpa 2' is expected to be crucial and will also include a link to a potential third part. The shooting is expected to continue extensively until the end of next month.






'Pushpa 2' Set for a Massive December Release – 50 Days to Go!


The reputation of Indian cinema has now reached an international level. In the past, Indian stars were rarely invited to international film festivals, but this scenario has significantly changed, especially since the release of "Baahubali." Indian films are now being dubbed and released directly in foreign languages in countries like Japan, China, and Russia. In this context, Russian President Vladimir Putin made interesting remarks about the Indian film industry, which have become a hot topic nationwide.



What did Putin say?



The BRICS summit, consisting of five member countries including India, is scheduled to take place in Russia on the 22nd and 23rd of this month. In a media session ahead of the BRICS meetings, Putin responded to questions about incentives for films from BRICS countries in Russia. He mentioned that Indian films are well-received in Russia and even noted the existence of a dedicated TV channel that runs Indian movies 24/7. He clearly expressed a keen interest in Indian films and confirmed Russia's favorable stance towards showcasing Indian movies, promising a special platform to promote these films. He also mentioned that discussions would be held with Indian Prime Minister Modi on this matter.

Russians Enthralled by "Pushpa"!



Recently, Russian audiences have shown great appreciation for Indian films. Putin's latest comments are likely to further boost the market for Indian cinema in Russia. The film "Pushpa," directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, was released directly in Russia on December 8, 2021. The audience there particularly enjoyed the film, which ran successfully on 774 screens for 25 days, collecting 10 million rubles (approximately ₹13 crores). This makes "Pushpa" the highest-grossing South Indian movie released in Russia.




https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258




Will "Pushpa 2" Benefit?



Film analysts believe that Putin's latest comments could have greatly encouraged the team of "Pushpa 2." With a box office target of over ₹1000 crores, "Pushpa 2" is set to release grandly on December 6. "Pushpa" already has a strong fan following in Russia, and Putin's recent assurances of support for Indian cinema promotions suggest that leveraging this opportunity to grandly release "Pushpa 2" in Russia would be beneficial. There are also plans to dub "Pushpa 2" in Russian as part of its overseas release strategy, which is expected to positively impact the movie's collections. It remains to be seen how the "Pushpa" team will seize this opportunity.




https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258




Hype Boosted by Devi Sri



Music director Devi Sri Prasad has made interesting comments about the pan-India film "Pushpa 2," directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun. He stated that the film would be on another level, particularly praising the first half as mind-blowing. He revealed that the locked first half contains three scenes that could be interval-level high, increasing the excitement among fans. Devi Sri also hinted that the background music for "Pushpa 2" would be outstanding.




https://twitter.com/villan_97/status/1845762894119801258




Item Song with Mrunal!



The songs from the movie "Pushpa" were a huge hit, especially the item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava," which became a sensation across the country, with Samantha mesmerizing with her beauty and the dance steps with Bunny (Allu Arjun) thrilling the youth. Thus, director Sukumar plans to include a similar item song in "Pushpa 2." Recently, the name of Mrunal Thakur has come up as a potential candidate for this special song in "Pushpa 2." There has been speculation online about negotiations with her. Previously, Tripti Dimri was considered for this song, and there were rumors about choosing Bollywood beauty Disha Patani instead. Now, Mrunal Thakur is being mentioned. The film unit needs to provide clarity on this matter.

Putin Praises Indian Films: Will 'Pushpa 2' Conquer the Russian Box Office?


The film 'Pushpa 2', directed by Sukumar with Allu Arjun in the lead, is set to release in just over a week. With the release date approaching, the movie team is ramping up its promotions. Having already hosted massive events in Patna and Chennai, today (November 27) they planned another major event in Kerala. The film crew traveled from Hyderabad to Kochi on a special flight, where Allu Arjun received an unexpectedly grand welcome upon landing at the airport.



A Bustling Airport...



Upon Allu Arjun's arrival at Kochi Airport, fans from Kerala gave him a grand welcome. Knowing about his arrival in advance, a large crowd gathered at the airport to greet him. As Bunny made his way out, the crowd cheered and tried to capture the moment on their phone cameras. The situation became so overwhelming that airport staff and police had to intervene to manage the excited fans. At one point, the noise and excitement reached such a level that Bunny had to cover his ears. Seeing the adulation Bunny received in a state away from home, Allu Arjun's fans are ecstatic, commenting, "Wherever the king goes, he remains a king."

Why Such a Craze in Kerala!



After Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Kerala has the largest following for Icon Star Allu Arjun. Locals affectionately call him 'Mallu Arjun'. His early career film 'Arya' was a super hit in Kerala, running for over 100 days. From 'Arya' onwards, the people of Kerala embraced Allu Arjun as one of their own. Every film featuring Allu Arjun has been consistently released in Kerala and has received a response comparable to that in Telugu-speaking regions. His last film 'Pushpa' also achieved blockbuster success in Kerala. Given this background, 'Pushpa 2' has garnered high expectations among the Kerala audience, prompting the makers to plan a promotional event in Kochi.

Runtime Locked



The runtime for 'Pushpa 2' has been locked. Generally, Sukumar's films are expected to last around three hours, as seen with his previous films 'Rangasthalam' and 'Pushpa', both of which were around three hours long and enjoyed blockbuster success. However, 'Pushpa 2' is expected to exceed three hours, with a strong buzz suggesting a runtime of 3 hours and 22 minutes as set by director Sukumar. In the US, 'Pushpa 2' is expected to release with a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes. The official duration will be announced after the censor board's review.
