Weekend OTT Releases: Want some entertainment this weekend? Check these out on OTT!


Having started in the film industry as a choreographer, Raghava Lawrence has made a notable mark in both Telugu and Tamil cinema. Initially showcasing his skills as a director, Lawrence later proved his mettle as an actor as well. With films like ‘Mass’, ‘Style’, ‘Muni’, ‘Don’, ‘Kanchana’, and ‘Ganga’, he has captivated Telugu audiences. However, his recent release 'Chandramukhi 2' was a box office failure, placing a lot of expectations on his next project, 'Kala Bhairava'. Recently, the first look poster of this movie was released.



Lawrence in a Serious Look!



The film 'Kala Bhairava', directed by Ramesh Varma and starring Raghava Lawrence, is anticipated with high expectations. Ramesh Varma, known for directing successful films like 'Rakshasudu' and 'Khiladi' with Ravi Teja, is working on this project, which marks the 25th film in Lawrence’s career. On the occasion of Lawrence’s birthday on September 29, the first look and title poster of the movie were released. The poster, portraying Lawrence in an intense look, has gone viral online, branding it as a pan-India superhero film.

Biggest Budget in His Career!



'Kala Bhairava', featuring Lawrence as the lead, is being produced by prestigious banners including A STUDIOS LLP, Goldmine Tele Films, Neeladri Productions, and Havish Productions. Producer Koneru Satyanarayana is backing this film, which is being made with an approximate budget of ₹200 crores, marking it as the highest budget in Lawrence’s career. The film is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, with shooting scheduled to start in November and a release planned for the summer of 2025. Further details about the film are expected to be announced soon by the makers.




https://twitter.com/offl_Lawrence/status/1850890389521092953




Are They Taking a Risk?



The decision to allocate a ₹200 crore budget for 'Kala Bhairava' has sparked diverse opinions within film circles. Despite Lawrence's recognition in the Telugu and Tamil film industries, his market performance is reportedly lagging, with none of his films reaching the ₹100 crore club to date. There is a notable risk in investing ₹200 crores based on the trust in Lawrence, with warnings of potential significant losses if the results are not favorable. However, the makers are not holding back on spending due to their confidence in the subject.

Lawrence’s Good Heart



Aside from acting, Raghava Lawrence is also known for his charitable activities. Having founded a charitable organization in the past, he has repeatedly helped the needy and farmers. Recently, on his birthday, he once again showed his generosity by distributing sewing machines to impoverished widows to help them become self-reliant. A video related to this act was posted by Lawrence on his official Twitter account, earning him praise from netizens who are encouraging him to continue such charitable efforts in the future.

Raghava Lawrence’s Bold Leap with ₹200 Crore ‘Kala Bhairava’ Amid High Stakes and Expectations


The pre-release event of the movie 'KA', starring Tollywood's young hero Kiran Abbavaram, took place grandly on Tuesday. Akkineni Naga Chaitanya also attended the event as the chief guest. However, Kiran Abbavaram's emotional speech during the event became a topic of discussion on social media. But the discussion was not about the movie 'KA'. Recently, Kiran expressed his distress about the trolling he has been facing on social media.



Until now, Kiran Abbavaram has been the target of various trolls. He used to ignore them and continue with his work. However, this time, he felt the trolling had crossed limits and responded strongly. His comments have now sparked discussions in the industry. During this occasion, Kiran mentioned that a scene from a movie was used to troll him without his consent.




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




"I came from doing short films. Just doing my work, releasing two or three movies a year. And yet, some people in one of those movies trolled me! About me! What relevance does it have? Why is there a need to troll me in a movie? I'm just asking respectfully... Why me? I'm just doing my job. Did I ever ask you for anything? What? Direct trolling on me in a movie and I didn't even know about it. Bro, Kiran bro, we are putting something about you in a movie. When my fans show me that even in this movie they are trolling you... I am asking respectfully? What did I do to deserve trolling in your movie?" he said emotionally.




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




After Kiran's speech, people began to search for what that movie could be.



However, the scene Kiran referred to was from a scene in last year's Kannada dubbed movie 'Hostel Students'. The film was dubbed into Telugu by 'Chai Biscuit' production. In the starting scene of this movie, two students discuss a trailer of a movie starring Kiran Abbavaram. One says, "Kiran Abbavaram's trailer has come out," and the other mockingly says, "Has it come out again?" Given that Kiran had been actively doing movies at that time, it seemed like a satirical comment directed at him. He expressed his anguish about this at the event but did not mention the name of the movie or the makers. However, he clearly expressed his distress about the matter.



The response to Kiran's speech was positive on social media. Amidst some baseless trolls, one netizen commented, "It doesn't matter, bro." Another tried to console him, "Elephants keep walking as dogs bark. Don't mind them, Kiran bro."




https://twitter.com/YugandharTarak/status/1851309020264771830




The movie 'KA' is set to release globally on Diwali (October 31). The trailer, already released, has garnered a positive response from the audience. The movie is produced on a Pan India level, featuring Tanviram and Nayan Sarika as the heroines, directed by the duo Sujit Maddel and Sandeep Maddel.

<strong>Zainab Ravdjee: Do You Know These Top 10 Secrets About Akhil's Future Wife?</strong>


Pan-India star Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga are currently at the peak of their careers. Prabhas' recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed over Rs. 1200 crore, stirring up a storm at the box office. Director Sandeep Reddy’s 'Animal' has significantly shaken the Indian film industry. Now, the anticipation for their upcoming film 'Spirit' is setting high expectations among the audience. A thrilling update about 'Spirit' is making rounds online, suggesting that a Bollywood star actress is set to star alongside Prabhas, with her husband playing the villain. Let’s dive into the details.



Who is the heroine?



The upcoming film 'Spirit', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga starring Prabhas, is already generating massive expectations nationwide. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see when this film will hit the sets. Currently busy with pre-production, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is now part of a hot topic online. Rumors suggest that Bollywood’s senior actress Kareena Kapoor will be starring opposite Prabhas. Although Kareena Kapoor was a top Bollywood actress a decade ago and is currently active intermittently in films and web series, news of her returning to a major role alongside a star hero like Prabhas is stirring interest. Fans are already speculating about the chemistry between Prabhas and Kareena Kapoor. An official announcement from the Spirit unit is awaited.







Prabhas’ Villain, Again!



Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan has recently been the go-to villain in films. After playing Ravana in 'Adipurush' and an antagonist in 'Devara' against Tarak, he impressed everyone with his fierce portrayal in the recently released 'Devara' trailer. Another buzz about 'Spirit' indicates that Saif Ali Khan will also appear in a negative role in this film as well. He is expected to portray a powerful character opposing Prabhas. Interestingly, the rumored heroine Kareena Kapoor happens to be Saif Ali Khan’s wife, adding intrigue to the dynamics as the heroine’s husband will be seen as the villain. If true, this setup is expected to elevate the expectations from 'Spirit' to a new level.







Police vs. Mafia Don!



There is a strong buzz that Prabhas will perform dual roles in 'Spirit'. The script work is reportedly complete, and only the dialogues are left to finalize. According to the buzz, Prabhas will play both a police officer and a mafia don, with the don character having negative shades. If this turns out to be true, a blockbuster at the box office is assured. Additionally, a special poster is expected to be released on Prabhas' birthday on October 10, and the film is set to go on floors by January 25 next year. Prabhas has previously played dual roles in three films. His first dual role was in 'Billa', followed by 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2'. Recently, there has been talk that Prabhas will also appear in dual roles in the upcoming 'Raja Saab'.







How Many Crores for Spirit's Budget?



Any film with Pan-India Rebel Star Prabhas is a guaranteed blockbuster at the box office, prompting producers to confidently invest in his projects. Producers are not shying away from allocating massive budgets for Prabhas’ films, which are often produced with hundreds of crores. In line with this, there is talk circulating online about the budget for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial 'Spirit', produced in collaboration with Bollywood production house T-Series. This film is anticipated to have a budget of Rs. 500 crores, positioning it as one of the most expensive undertakings in Prabhas’ career. After 'Adipurush' with a budget of Rs. 700 crores and the recently released 'Kalki' at Rs. 600 crores, 'Spirit' is set to be the third most expensive film in his career.






Prabhas 'Spirit': Bollywood Power Couple Rumored as Heroine and Villain in High-Stakes Action Thriller


It goes without saying that a film by SS Rajamouli always comes with high expectations. When paired with superstar Mahesh Babu, these expectations reach new heights. It's already known that Mahesh Babu is undergoing a significant makeover for the movie. His new look has been spotted in various contexts, sporting long hair and a beard, a dramatic change from his usual style. Recently, Mahesh wowed everyone again with a stylish new look. Photos related to this are currently shaking up social media.



Mahesh Babu's Mind-Blowing Look!



Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming project 'SSMB 29' (working title), a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and the legendary director SS Rajamouli. For this film, Mahesh has grown out his hair and beard and bulked up his body. Consequently, his recent appearances have gone viral. Once again, Mahesh Babu's looks are trending online. While heading abroad, he was spotted at the airport looking stylish in a cream-colored hoodie, black goggles, and a red cap, complementing his long hair and rough beard. Recently, photos of Mahesh and his wife meeting Telangana CM Revanth Reddy have surfaced, showing that his hair and beard have grown even bushier compared to his previous look. These photos have gone viral on social media.

Staying Close to His Son?



Superstar Mahesh Babu often travels abroad with his family. It's known that he has once again set off on an international trip. A viral video from the airport shows him with his wife Namrata and daughter Sitara. However, it seems he traveled to the US to be with his son Gautam during the Dussehra holidays. Fans are admiring Mahesh for the importance he places on his family. With 'SSMB 29' about to start, fans commend him for dedicating this time to his family.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1843173118166356044




Is This Really Mahesh Babu's Look?



Fans are going crazy over Mahesh Babu's latest look, praising him for resembling a Hollywood hero. Comments suggest that Mahesh's look for 'SSMB29' is nearly finalized. However, the Tollywood buzz indicates that this is the look Mahesh will sport in the movie. After letting his hair and beard grow out, Rajamouli is expected to call in a hair stylist from abroad to style Mahesh into four or five different looks. Which one Rajamouli finalizes will ultimately be the look used in the film. Thus, fans mistakenly thought the current look was the final one.







Mahesh Enjoys Freedom!



Rajamouli takes special care to ensure the looks of his film's heroes remain a secret. He typically sets conditions to prevent the reveal of the look during the shooting period. Stars like Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR followed this practice during the filming of 'Bahubali' and 'RRR.' Unlike them, Mahesh freely poses for cameras wherever he goes, revealing his makeover in some form. However, the reason Mahesh can roam freely is likely because this is not his final look. Once the final look is decided, Mahesh will probably take measures to avoid exposing it.







Shooting Starts in December



Currently, pre-production work for 'SSMB 29' is almost complete after several months of preparation. The entire team is expected to participate in a workshop by the end of this month. Rajamouli plans to start regular shooting from December. Furthermore, preparations are underway to begin the first schedule abroad, with a massive chase sequence planned in international forests. Given the global scale of the cinema, graphics work is crucial, and Rajamouli intends to finish these scenes first and then hand them over to the VFX team, ensuring that shooting and VFX work proceed in parallel.






Mahesh Babu’s Dramatic Transformation for SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29 Shakes Social Media!


Following 'RRR', the highly anticipated film 'Game Changer' starring Ram Charan, directed by renowned director Shankar and produced by Telugu producer Dil Raju, is set to be a political action entertainer scheduled to release as a festive gift on January 10. As the release date approaches, the film's team is focusing on promotions, including locking in the date for the teaser release. It has been announced that the teaser will be released in Uttar Pradesh. Despite having two Telugu states, why is the teaser launch event planned in the North? It seems there is a master plan behind this decision.



When is the teaser?



In the upcoming film 'Game Changer,' Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani stars as the heroine alongside another heroine, Anjali, who plays a significant role. The film features Naveen Chandra, Sunil, Srikanth, Bollywood actor Harry Josh, Kollywood actors SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Kannada actor Jayaram in key roles. Karthik Subbaraj provides the story, and Sai Madhav Burra delivers the dialogues. Recently, the movie team has fixed the teaser release for November 9th and announced that the launch event will take place in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.







Why in Lucknow?



Initially, the 'Game Changer' teaser launch event was planned to be held in Hyderabad. However, due to local conditions and permissions, the venue was shifted to Lucknow. Given the film's pan-India release, nationwide promotions are deemed crucial. The movie team believes that starting the official promotions in the North could enhance accessibility and engagement with the audience there. Moreover, starting from the teaser release, the team plans to keep the buzz alive by releasing updates every two weeks. Ram Charan is performing dual roles, and it remains to be seen if the teaser will reveal the looks of these two characters.







The First of its Kind!



Tamil cinema's leading director, Shankar, has directed numerous blockbuster hits such as 'Gentleman', 'Premikudu', 'Bharateeyudu', 'Jeans', 'Oke Okkadu', 'Boys', 'Aparichitudu', 'Sivaji', and 'Robo', which were all popular in Telugu through dubbing. 'Game Changer' marks Shankar’s first direct Telugu film, and it is also his first collaboration with Ram Charan. Known for making films with strong messages, Shankar has crafted 'Game Changer' in the same vein, and it appears the teaser has been cut to introduce its theme. It will be interesting to see how much the teaser excites the audience.







A Highlight for the Film!



Recently, the 'Game Changer' team released a special poster hinting at an upcoming teaser. It sparked interest with an image of Charan sitting at a table with numerous gangsters charging towards him, suggesting it's the film’s introduction scene. Rumors suggest this mob fight will give viewers goosebumps similar to 'RRR' and is expected to be a major highlight of the film. After the fight, Charan reportedly boards a helicopter, followed by the song 'Ra Macha Macha.'







Record Business?



Trade circles predict 'Game Changer' will do substantial business in the Telugu states, with potential theatrical business around ₹150 crores from Andhra Pradesh, Ceded, and Nizam areas. Originally, such high business figures were not anticipated when the film was scheduled for a December release. However, with the release now set for Sankranthi, the business expectations have significantly increased, according to film circles.

Tollywood actor Adivi Sesh is making strides with a variety of unique films. He's on a roll with a hat-trick of successes including 'Evaru', 'Major', and 'Hit 2'. Last December, he agreed to a Pan India project that caught everyone’s attention when it was announced that star heroine Shruti Haasan would be acting as the heroine. The project, dubbed 'Sesh Ex Shruti', even released a special poster. Preparations to commence shooting were underway when suddenly news surfaced that Shruti Haasan gave a shock to the film unit by quitting the project abruptly.

The combination of young hero Adivi Sesh and star heroine Shruti Haasan had initially drawn considerable attention to this project.

Just when the film was about to go on floors, it was unexpectedly revealed that Shruti Haasan had withdrawn from the project. The reasons for her departure are not clear as neither she nor the movie team has made any official statement. It remains uncertain whether the producers will convince Shruti to return or choose a new heroine.







Decoy Story Unveiled!



Prominent cinematographer Shaniel Dio is making his directorial debut with the film 'Dacoit', produced by Supriya Yarlagadda. The film’s team has indicated that the story involves the lead characters engaging in a series of heists and falling in love during their escapades. A teaser related to 'Dacoit' was also released last December, featuring Adivi Sesh and Shruti Haasan, which surprised many. The film is set to be shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi.

Bollywood Star Injured

An action sequence is currently being filmed in Hyderabad, during which actor Emraan Hashmi suffered a throat injury.
