LCU in BIG Trouble? Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Moves Shock Fans

Somehow, director Lokesh Kanagaraj is killing the anticipation of the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) with his plans after Coolie’s release and result. His approach for his next films is disappointing fans.

Lokesh kicked off his cinematic universe with Kaithi in 2019. With the revelation of its connection to Vikram and the concept of a shared universe, fans couldn’t wait for Kaithi 2 to hit the screens.

Instead, Lokesh Kanagaraj created Leo and awkwardly tied it to the LCU, which fell flat. Following his work on Coolie, reports suggest he is gearing up for a movie alongside Allu Arjun.

Simultaneously, the film Benz, featuring Lawrence, which Lokesh did not direct, is being marketed as a component of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. However, audiences seem to lack significant interest in it at the moment. If Benz works, it’s fine, but if it doesn’t, it will be a big risk for the LCU itself.

After Vikram was released, people eagerly expected Kaithi 2, Rolex, and Vikram 2 to be released back-to-back, but Lokesh Kanagaraj continuously delayed these projects, which is killing the anticipation regarding LCU among audiences. 

Delaying these films poses major risks for Lokesh Kanagaraj, and the final result remains to be seen.

Raj Tarun’s Market Crashes: Latest Film Hits OTT in Just One Week

Raj Tarun emerged as a promising actor with continuous success in his initial career, but he has lost the entire market now, as his films are not even getting properly noticed among audiences. 

At once he had big box office hits like Uayyala Jampala, Kumari 21F, and Eeedo Rakam Aado Rakam, but recently he has seen a series of failures continuously, with his market having crashed.

Raj Tarun’s film releases have gone unnoticed by the public, leaving his career and market in a troubling state. 

His latest film, Paanch Minar, released on the last Friday and received average reviews, which is better talk than Raj Tarun’s films in recent times, but failed to bring audiences to theaters. 

Surprisingly, the film becomes available for streaming on Prime Video within just 7 days of its theater release.

Andhra King Taluka Box Office: Day 1 Collections

Ram Pothineni’s Andhra King Taluka, also starring Bhagyashree Borse and Upendra in key roles, has gathered an average start at the box office on day 1. The film is expected to have a proper long run in the theaters.

The Day 1 early estimates are around 7.5 Cr gross worldwide, with 5 Cr in India and 2.5 Cr from overseas. It now needs to show growth in numbers from today in India.

Moreover, the Thursday release has affected the film’s opening , but the trend is expected to see a jump over the weekend as the word of mouth and reviews are very positive.

To achieve the breakeven, the film needs to collect 50 Cr gross worldwide, and for this, the film has to take a jump in collections from today.

Prabhas Finally Joins Spirit

Spirit is one of the most anticipated films of next year, not just for Telugu audiences but for Indian cinema as a whole. The film brings together superstar Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, a combination that has generated massive excitement. After a long wait, Prabhas has officially joined the shoot of Spirit.

It has been nearly two years since the release of Vanga’s blockbuster Animal. During this time, the director worked extensively on the story and pre-production of Spirit. Although the groundwork was completed months ago, filming was delayed due to Prabhas’s busy schedule with The Raja Saab and Fauji.

On Prabhas’s birthday, the team released an audio teaser, which instantly boosted the buzz and made Spirit one of the most anticipated upcoming films. Fans are especially eager to see Prabhas in the role of a police officer, a fresh avatar for the actor.

Last Sunday, the film’s Pooja ceremony was held with Chiranjeevi as the chief guest. Prabhas also attended, but the team chose not to reveal his look, as he will appear in a special avatar in the movie. Finally, after months of anticipation, Prabhas has joined the shoot of Spirit, with reports suggesting that a major fight sequence is currently being filmed.

Known for his meticulous planning, Sandeep Reddy Vanga ensures that shooting schedules are tight and he spends more time on post-production. The makers expect to wrap up filming by summer 2026, though Vanga is known to spend significant time on post-production. As a result, Spirit is likely to hit theaters in the first half of 2027.

Rajinikanth Repeats Anirudh

Anirudh Ravichander, the top musician of this generation, is a huge fan of Superstar Rajinikanth and always delivers the best possible songs or background scores for the veteran actor.

Anirudh and Rajini have been working together consistently on films such as Jailer, Vettaiyan, Coolie, and the upcoming Jailer 2. Rajinikanth has signed his next project with Director Ramkumar, produced by Kamal Haasan.

The film, Thalaivar 173 is currently in pre-production, with an official announcement about all the details anticipated to be revealed on Rajinikanth’s birthday, and Anirudh is reportedly composing the music, and Sai Pallavi and Kathir are expected to play key roles.

Fans appreciate Anirudh’s work on Jailer, with “Hukum Song” still topping the charts. Consequently, there will be high expectations whenever he collaborates with Rajini.

Akhanda 2’s Pre-Release Event Turns Crucial

Akhanda 2 has generated the biggest pre-release business of Balakrishna’s career, with the Telugu version pre-business reaching 125 Cr. While the sequel factor has created decent hype, it’s not enough, and the success of the pre-release event is now crucial to elevate the buzz for Akhanda 2.

The film needs to collect 200 Cr to break even. With such high stakes, the movie needs to generate massive buzz, but it’s not currently achieving the expected level of excitement.

So far, the two released songs and the theatrical trailer have received a decent response, but haven’t generated massive excitement.

Balakrishna and Boyapati collaboration is sure to attract a large audience, and the sequel element adds an extra layer of appeal. However, Akhanda 2 needs to gather a blockbuster range hype to match the scale of a Tier 1 big-budget film and surpass the highest pre-release business for Balakrishna.

Therefore, generating significant buzz is crucial for securing large box office openings. In this context, tomorrow’s pre-release event in Hyderabad will be key, as it is expected to feature the release of the remaining songs and a new trailer.

The fans expect that the new content along with the cast and crew speeches will take the buzz to a higher level and it is a must for the film.

Dil Raju Bags a Jackpot Deal for Chiranjeevi’s Next

Sankranthi is considered a big season for the Telugu film industry, as the family audiences come in huge numbers to theaters during this season. Producer Dil Raju, who has been going through a lean patch for a while, has bagged a jackpot deal for Chiranjeevi’s next film, releasing on Sankranthi 2026.

Chiranjeevi has delivered blockbusters like Khaidi No 150 and Waltair Veerayya, which were released during the Sankranthi festival, and even for director Anil Ravipudi, it has been a golden season, as he delivered F2, Sarileru Neekevvaru, and Sankranthiki Vasthunam during that period.

Now, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which marks the first collaboration of Megastar Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi, is getting released on Sankranthi 2026 with Venkatesh playing a crucial cameo.

MSG has already produced excitement among audiences due to the combination, and the Meesala Pilla song added much more buzz. The movie’s Nizam rights of Chiranjeevi’s next, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad, were bagged by Dil Raju for 32 Cr, which is a very reasonable business and will work easily as it is releasing on Sankranthi.

If the film gets good word of mouth, then it can easily do over 40 Cr share and can even gather more. But the only issue is many films are arriving this Sankranthi, including a pan-India biggie like The Raja Saab.

So, the screen count plays a big role during Sankranthi 2026. Along with MSG, Dil Raju also bagged Sithara Entertainments and Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganaga Oka Raju.

Sai Pallavi Teams Up With Rajinikanth

Tamil Cinema fans eagerly await Rajinikanth’s next film, Thalaivar 173 under Kamal Haasan Productions. The film has been generating buzz due to the ongoing director search, and now the exciting news is that actress Sai Pallavi will be teaming up with Superstar Rajinikanth for this project.

Thalaivar 173 was initially announced to be directed by Sundar C, but he left the project due to creative differences. Following discussions with several other directors, Rajini and Kamal have selected Parking director Ram Kumar to helm the film.

Reportedly, Ram Kumar presented a complete script and the Coolie actor was impressed with his preparation and approved it. An official announcement is expected on Rajinikanth’s birthday, December 12th. Filming is likely to begin in March 2026.

Rumor has it that Ram Kumar has begun pre-production for the film, currently in the process of finalizing the cast and crew. Meanwhile, reports suggest Sai Pallavi is in advanced negotiations to play a key role in Thalaivar 173, which would mark her first collaboration with Rajinikanth if confirmed.
