Prabhas–Prasanth Varma Film Is On

There have been several rumours on social media about a film featuring Prabhas and director Prasanth Varma. Some reports even claimed that the project had been delayed or shelved. However, according to official sources, these rumours are completely false. The film is very much on track and progressing as planned.

At present, Prabhas is busy with multiple ongoing projects. He is currently working on films like Fauji, Kalki 2, and Spirit. On the other hand, Prasanth Varma is occupied with Jai Hanuman. Once both of them complete their existing commitments, their much-awaited collaboration will move to the sets.

The makers are not rushing the project. They are carefully planning every aspect to mount the film on a grand scale. The team wants to ensure that everything is perfectly prepared before shooting begins, aiming to deliver a high-quality final product.

An official announcement regarding the shooting schedule and other details will be made at the right time. As per sources close to the team, the rumours about Prabhas and Prasanth Varma’s film are false and it will begin only after their current projects are completed

Fast-Filling Tickets for Anirudh Live

Anirudh Ravichander is all set to make his much-awaited live concert debut in Hyderabad, and the response has already been phenomenal, with tickets fast-filling like hot cakes. The fans are crazy about this event and do not want to miss it at any cost.

Organised by Sithara Entertainments, the concert witnessed an overwhelming rush as soon as bookings opened, and the tickets were fast filling and almost sold out within the first hour, reflecting Anirudh’s massive popularity among Telugu audiences.

The grand musical night is scheduled to take place on March 21, 2026, starting at 6 PM. The event will be held at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium (outdoor grounds) and is expected to run for nearly four hours, promising an electrifying experience for fans.

Ticket prices begin at 2000 and go upto 6000, and despite such premium pricing, the demand has been exceptionally strong.

Prabhas Sets the Benchmark: Handling Three Massive Pan-India Films in Parallel

Prabhas is currently one of the biggest Pan-India stars, consistently headlining massive big-budget films. What makes his strategy interesting is not just the scale of the projects he chooses, but the way he manages them.

At a time when big-budget films demand extensive pre-production, large-scale action planning, heavy VFX work, and long post-production schedules, putting all the time and energy into a single project can become highly risky. Delays can stretch for years, affecting not just producers but also theatre owners who depend on consistent star-driven releases.

Tight Schedule Across Massive Projects

Currently, Prabhas is shooting an intense action schedule for Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. This schedule is expected to continue until the first week of March.

Soon after that, in the second week of March, Prabhas is set to join the sets of the much-awaited sequel Kalki 2. He will shoot for a few days, and shooting schedules will continue with other key actors like Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan.

After this, Prabhas is expected to complete the pending portions of Fauzi, Spirit, and then return to Kalki 2 sets.

Handling three massive films at the same time is no easy task. This is one of the key reasons why Prabhas stands out among the Pan-India Stars, as he has been able to deliver at least one major theatrical release almost every year, despite working on some of the biggest productions in Indian cinema.

Big Miss for Fahadh Faasil?

Big Miss for Fahadh Faasil?

There were huge reports that Fahadh Faasil is all set to play a crucial role in Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh’s upcoming film, which is scheduled for Sankranthi 2027 release. But the latest news is that the actor might not be part of the film anymore.

Anil Ravipudi has often been fondly referred to by audiences as a “Regional Rajamouli” as he maintained a remarkable success streak without facing a major box office failure. 

Over the years, he has delivered some of the biggest commercial hits for the stars he has collaborated with, establishing himself as one of the most reliable commercial directors in Telugu cinema.

Anil Ravipudi – Venkatesh Combination is a Blockbuster One

Now, he is all set to reunite with Venkatesh. The Venkatesh–Anil Ravipudi combination has already proven to be a blockbuster pairing and remains a favorite among family audiences. Their previous collaborations delivered massive commercial successes, and expectations are naturally high for this upcoming project.

The script and pre-production work are currently underway. The film is expected to go on floors in the second half of this year, with a grand Sankranthi 2027 release being targeted.

Fahadh Faasil might have gained a new image by collaborating with Ravipudi

Interestingly, the makers are reportedly considering Fahadh Faasil for a crucial role in the film, possibly as a strong second lead. If finalized, this casting would add a fresh and exciting dimension to the project.

But the industry buzz suggests that Fahadh Faasil has quoted a hefty remuneration to act in Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh’s film, which may not align with the film’s economic structure. Due to this, the team is said to be exploring alternative options.

If Fahadh ends up missing out on the project purely over remuneration discussions, it could be a significant loss of opportunity. Collaborating with Anil Ravipudi might have offered him a refreshing commercial makeover and introduced him to a broader Telugu mass audience in a new light.

Trade Underestimated Dil Raju?

Trade Underestimated Dil Raju?

Dil Raju has long been regarded as one of the top producers in Tollywood and a dominant force in film distribution in the Nizam and Uttarandhra regions. However, the distribution landscape in Nizam has been changing rapidly, with new distribution offices opening and producers exploring alternative release strategies.

Following this development, Raju recently missed out on a few notable projects. For instance, Sihaara Entertainments has started releasing its films through Annapurna Studios in the region, which came as a setback for Dil Raju’s distribution wing. A few other films, too, have gone to different distributors, leading to speculation within trade circles that he might be losing his grip on the market. But Dil Raju appears to have other plans.

From Nizam to the Entire Telugu States:

Instead of limiting himself to just Nizam rights, Dil Raju is now reportedly going more aggressively by acquiring the entire Telugu States theatrical rights for select films.

One of the biggest moves in this direction is his acquisition of the Telugu States rights for Toxic, one of the most anticipated Pan-India films. This deal alone sends a strong message to the trade that Dil Raju is still very much in the game.

Apart from Toxic, he has also secured the Telugu States rights for Biker, starring Sharwanand, and GaayaPadda Simham, starring Tharun Bhascker.

Sources suggest that Dil Raju is also in discussions for several other upcoming films. In Tollywood trade circles, one thing is clear: writing off Dil Raju too early might be a mistake.

Censor Rumours Surround Dhurandhar 2

Censor Rumours Surround Dhurandhar 2

While the fans eagerly await the release and some promotional updates from Dhurandhar 2, some unexpected rumours about its censor are worrying them. On the other hand, the makers are also not releasing any promotional content from the film. 

Dhurandhar turned out to be a sensational all-time industry blockbuster in the Hindi market, grossing close to ₹1300 crore worldwide. The film not only dominated the North belt but also gained massive popularity across India after its OTT release.

Now, all eyes are on the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge, which is scheduled to release on March 19. The sequel is carrying tremendous hype, with expectations soaring sky-high in both Hindi and South markets.

Censor Confusion: What Really Happened?

Over the past 24 hours, several rumours emerged from Bollywood media portals that Dhurandhar 2 had completed its censor formalities and had been granted a U/A certificate by the CBFC. But those reports are said to be incorrect, and as of now, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has not been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The confusion arose because it is actually the same 208-minute print of Dhurandhar Part 1 that was re-certified for television premieres.

With its March 19 release date approaching, the industry is eagerly waiting for official updates regarding censor certification and final cut confirmation.

Valentine Jinx for Vishwak Sen

Valentine Jinx for Vishwak Sen

Vishwak Sen is undoubtedly one of the most talented young actors in Telugu cinema today. Known for his unique script choices and energetic screen presence, he initially built a strong craze among youth audiences and urban centers. However, sustaining that momentum has turned out to be challenging for Vishwak Sen.

Over the past few years, consecutive box office failures have slowed down his growth trajectory. While his performances continue to receive appreciation in parts, the commercial results have not matched expectations. Naturally, this has started reflecting on his market value as well.

Valentine’s Season Not Working in His Favour:

Interestingly, the Valentine’s weekend seems to have become an unlucky phase for Vishwak Sen.

Last year, Laila was released during the Valentine’s frame. The film faced heavy criticism and did not perform as expected at the box office. The backlash around the project impacted both the film’s run and Vishwak Sen’s image to some extent, breaking his momentum.

This year, hopes were pinned on Funky, which also arrived during the Valentine’s season. At the time of announcement, the film carried strong buzz and was expected to be a sure-shot success, especially among younger audiences. However, the theatrical outcome turned out to be disappointing.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh: Producer Quotes Massive Price, Talks Underway

Ustaad Bhagat Singh marks the second collaboration of the blockbuster trio – Pawan Kalyan, Harish Shankar, and Devi Sri Prasad, and the expectations on this combination are naturally sky-high, as they have delivered a sensational hit, Gabbar Singh, in the past.

The makers recently announced that the film will hit theatres on March 26, positioning it as one of the first major releases of the summer season.

Adding to the promotional momentum, the second single titled “Aura of Ustaad” is scheduled to be released on February 22. The team is planning aggressive promotions over the next month to build strong pre-release buzz.

150 Crore Target in Telugu States?

Coming to the business front, the producers are reportedly quoting around ₹150 crore for the Telugu States theatrical rights. Andhra (6 territories) is quoted in the ₹72+ crore range, and the negotiations are said to be happening around the ₹60 crore mark. Other territories are also seeing active discussions.

However, distributors feel that a valuation of around ₹120 crore would be safer given current market conditions. With producers firm at ₹150 crore and buyers comfortable near ₹120 crore, the final deal is expected to be settled somewhere in between. Trade circles expect the agreements to be finalized very soon.

Competition and Challenges Ahead

Being the first major biggie of the summer, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is expected to open strongly, thanks to Pawan Kalyan’s strong stardom and fan base. But if we observe from a business perspective, there are a few challenges from a business perspective. Two big films: Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 are releasing just a week earlier on March 19. This could impact screen availability and theatre allocations.

Additionally, securing ticket price hikes and permission for extra shows in Telangana has become increasingly challenging in recent times. All these factors are being carefully considered during the ongoing negotiations.

Despite the hurdles, the film remains one of the most anticipated projects of the season. If the promotional campaign clicks in a big way, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has every potential to dominate the summer box office if it meets expectations.

Athadu 4K Second Re-Release: Huge Business

Athadu 4K Second Re-Release: Huge Business

Athadu, the evergreen classic starring Mahesh Babu, continues to prove its timeless appeal. The film was re-released in 4K last year on the occasion of Mahesh Babu’s birthday and received a good response from fans and audiences.

Now, the film is gearing up for yet another re-release on February 28, and surprisingly, it has managed to generate impressive business once again.

Strong Business for a Second Re-Release

Typically, re-releases are mostly one-time events driven by nostalgia or special occasions. Securing strong theatrical deals for a second re-release is considered quite challenging in today’s market. However, Athadu 4K has managed to break that norm.

According to trade sources:

  • Nizam area’s rights have been sold for ₹18 lakh
  • Andhra (6 territories) fetched around ₹16 lakh
  • Ceeded closed at ₹3 lakh
  • Rest of India (ROI) added another ₹3 lakh

In total, the film has reportedly done business close to ₹40 lakh.

For a second re-release, and that too without any special occasion attached, a ₹40 lakh theatrical business is definitely a huge achievement. It clearly reflects the film’s enduring popularity and Mahesh Babu’s strong fan base.

Favourable Box Office Window

Another factor working in favour of Athadu is the current release calendar. With no notable big films hitting theatres after the Sankranthi season, there is a visible gap at the box office. This creates a favourable window for a classic and nostalgic entertainer like Athadu to attract audiences once again.

Given that the film remains one of Mahesh Babu’s most loved performances, trade analysts are expecting decent numbers in this re-release as well.
