Akhanda 2 to The Raja Saab: Fans Question First Single Choices

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 is getting released in theaters on 5th December, which was the original date of Prabhas’s The Raja Saab, which is now arriving on Sankranthi. Both films’ first singles have faced mixed reactions. 

For every film, the first single usually carries the biggest buzz, and that is why teams always pick the best song to release as the first single. In Thaman’s latest films, the choice of first singles fails to feature the best songs, whether because of the director’s mistake or Thaman’s. The same thing happened with Akhanda 2 and The Raja Saab.

If Hara Hara from the sequel of Akhanda had been released as the first single, the buzz would have been much bigger by now. Similarly, for The Raja Saab, Rebel Saab may not be the strongest choice for a first single, and the album is likely to have better tracks.

Regardless of intent, both films have stumbled on launching the first song perfectly.

Rajinikanth’s Next Without Anirudh

Music director Anirudh Ravichander is the current number one music composer of South Indian cinema, and his work for Superstar Rajinikanth’s movies brings a lot of enthusiasm among fans. But the latest reports suggest that Rajinikanth’s next film will be made without Anirudh. 

As said above, Anirudh has worked for Rajinikanth films continuously, like Jailer, Vettaiyan, Coolie, and Jailer 2. The next film of Rajini is with the Parking director Ramkumar Balakrishna, produced by Kamal Haasan. 

An official announcement is expected to be out on Rajinikanth’s birthday, 12th December. There was a buzz before that Anirudh would be the music director, but now the news is that the latest music sensation, Sai Abhyankar, is all set to compose music for the film. 

This will be another big opportunity for a youngster who is flooded with multiple film offers, which include massive projects.

There might be a section of fans who cannot believe that a Rajinikanth film is being made without Anirudh, but they will not mind it if Sai scores the music well and impresses them.

Akhanda 2 Runtime: Big First Half, Crisp Second Half

Akhanda 2 is releasing this Friday with premieres tomorrow night, and the film’s runtime, along with the details of how long the first half and second half are out now. There are huge expectations for the film’s box office performance.

This is the biggest film in Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu’s careers, made on a massive budget of 200 Cr. The Telugu version’s theatrical business alone is over 120 Cr.

The latest news is that the film has been censored with U/A, and Akhanda 2’s runtime is 165 minutes. The first half of the film is said to be a long one, with 91 minutes, and the second half is a crisp one, with 74 minutes in length.

Given that this movie follows Akhanda Part 1, a lengthy runtime came as no surprise. The 1st half involves the setup and story, with the pre-interval expected to take the turn, similar to part 1 with Aghora’s character’s entry.

Thereafter, the film will completely go into action and divine mode. The buzz around the interval block and action sequences in the second half of the film is really high.

The makers officially announced the news with a warm message to Japanese fans: “Konnichiwa, Nihon no Tomo yo!” They added that Pushpa Raj will take over Japan on January 16, 2026, spreading his wildfire across borders.

Rashmika Slams Fake AI Edits

Rashmika Mandanna’s film Thamma has recently arrived on Prime Video on a rental basis, which made her fans very happy. But soon after the OTT release, a few AI-generated inappropriate photos of the actress started spreading on social media, and the edited and fake/AI images deeply hurt Rashmika, leading her to strongly condemn the act online.

Sharing her thoughts, Rashmika said that in a time when truth can be easily manipulated, people must be more careful and responsible. She expressed that while AI is a powerful tool, its misuse, especially to create vulgar content and target women, shows a serious moral decline. She reminded everyone that the internet has become a place where anything can be fabricated, and stressed the need for dignity and responsible behavior.

Rashmika urged society to rise above such misuse of technology and use AI for positive progress. She also called for strict action against those who deliberately create and spread such harmful content.

Tere Ishk Mein 5 Days Box Office Collections

Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s intense love drama, Tere Ishk Mein, is having a consistent run at the box office, and it crosses the 85 Cr gross mark in India in 5 days. The Bollywood trade is very happy with the film’s success.

For 5 days, the film’s Hindi version grossed 69 Cr, while the Tamil version gathered 3 Cr in India. So, that takes the total all-India gross of Tere Ishk Mein to around 85 Cr.

Adding in the foreign numbers brings the worldwide gross to around 92 Cr. The film’s got a solid chance of hitting the 100 Cr mark today, and if it doesn’t quite make it, it is likely to do so by tomorrow. This movie is a massive hit in Hindi.

Directed by Aanand L. Rai and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, along with Himanshu Sharma, this film emerges from the collaboration of T-Series Films and Colour Yellow Productions, featuring a musical score by A. R. Rahman.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Dream Project With Allu Arjun

For a long time, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has kept a superhero subject; Irumbu Kai Mayavi is his dream project, and after planning with multiple heroes, he is all set to make it with Icon Star Allu Arjun.

The film was initially planned with Suriya, but due to many reasons, especially budget issues, it was stopped. After that, during the Coolie time, Lokesh narrated the script to Aamir Khan, who immediately said okay, and the movie was expected to start next year, but after Coolie’s release, everything changed.

It’s already in the news that Lokesh Kanagaraj is not doing Kaithi 2 next as planned. He and his team are working on a script for the Pushpa 2 actor under Mythri Production. The interesting buzz is that Lokesh Kanagaraj wants to make his dream project, Irumbu Kai Mayavi, a superhero film with Allu Arjun.

Can Lokesh Kanagaraj Convince Allu Arjun?

The talks are happening currently; according to the reports, this case will definitely be the best choice, as regular gangster films may not appeal to a pan-Indian audience.

Nowadays, audiences want a refreshing film from Lokesh Kanagaraj. Superhero is a universal subject, and it will have a big potential at the box office as well. It will be interesting to see if Lokesh Kanagaraj can successfully convince Allu Arjun to star in this film.
