Ustaad Bhagat Singh Heading for a Solo Release on March 26, 2026

Ustaad Bhagat Singh represents the second collaboration between the blockbuster duo of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar. The happiest news for the fans is that Ustaad is all set for a solo release on March 26, 2026.

The film already carries a massive buzz, and the first single promo releases this evening, and the team is yet to announce a release date.

Nani’s The Paradise, before going to sets, only announced a release date of 26th March, 2026. But the shooting schedules did not happen as the unit planned, and the span of the film is very big.

Even though the team did not announce the postponement officially, they are said to have informed industry circles that they are postponing the release date to July or August.

On the other hand, Ram Charan’s Peddi was also announced with the release date of 27th March 2026, and Buchi Babu recently said that they are planning to advance the film on 26th March 2026 to take advantage of the festival holiday .

However, there are continuous rumors of the film’s postponement despite the makers denying them continuously. Now it appears that Peddi’s postponement has been confirmed because of the extended shooting schedule.

Mythri Movie Makers, the studio behind Peddi and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has shared with insiders that they plan to make an official announcement on March 26, 2026, soon.

It confirms that not Peddi nor The Paradise, but the Ustaad Bhagat Singh, set for a solo release on 26th March, 2026.

Ram Charan fans might take this hard, but at least they can cheer up since Pawan Kalyan’s film drops on the same date. Peddi’s probably shifting to a late summer release.

Action Sequence Gone Wrong: Rajasekhar Faces Major Surgery

Senior actor Rajasekhar suffered an injury on the sets of his upcoming film. On November 25, while filming an intense action sequence near Medchal, he seriously injured his right leg. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors performed an emergency surgery. The procedure lasted nearly three hours, during which plates and wires were fixed to support the damaged bone.

According to the film unit, Rajasekhar’s condition is now stable. Doctors have advised him to take complete rest for three to four weeks. If his recovery goes as expected, he is likely to resume shooting by January 2026.

Rajasekhar, known across Tollywood for his “Angry Young Man” image, began his journey as a doctor before entering films. Over the years, he built a strong reputation as both a lead actor and a character artiste. His intense performances and varied roles earned him a special place among mass audiences. After a brief gap in his career, he has recently been signing back-to-back projects and maintaining a busy schedule.

Rajasekhar is known for performing his own stunts, and during the action sequence on November 25, he once again stepped in without using a body double. However, a misstep caused a severe injury near his ankle, and insiders reveal that the impact was so strong that the bone was nearly exposed.

The team did not waste a moment and immediately transported him to the hospital. Seeing the seriousness of the injury, doctors decided on urgent surgery. Plates and wires were inserted to stabilise the leg, and the medical team confirmed that the operation was successful. Unit members also shared that Rajasekhar bravely endured extreme pain during the surgery.

With proper rest and recovery, the actor is expected to return to work soon, continuing his commitment to cinema despite the setback.

Speaking about the film’s legacy, Rajinikanth shared a heartfelt reflection: “We are planning for Padayappa 2, titled Neelambari, and the story discussions are currently in progress. As far as I know, Padayappa was the film where women broke the theatre gates to watch it. I didn’t give the film to any OTT platform.” 

Trivia about the Neelambari Character:

“For the character of Neelambari, Aishwarya Rai was the first person who came to mind. The team tried to bring her on board, but she wasn’t interested.

Jio Hotstar Drops ICC Deal

A significant change is coming to the sports streaming industry as JioHotstar is reportedly ending its partnership with the ICC and will not broadcast the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, citing financial losses.

Due to this strategy, Hotstar is now looking to focus primarily on films, and it is set to announce the big lineup of 2026 films tomorrow. 

Reportedly, Sony, Netflix, and Prime Video were approached for a partnership with the ICC for the T20 World Cup 2026 streaming, but none agreed due to the pricing.

Cricket fans received a jolt when they discovered that JioHotstar plans to withdraw from the ICC India media rights starting in 2026, following significant losses from overbidding $3 billion for the ongoing 2024-27 cycle.

ICC seeks a new broadcaster for the 2026-29 event rights, valued at $2.4 billion, and if it fails to secure a buyer, it may have to cut the rights fee.

KalamKaval 1st weekend Box Office Collections

The latest Malayalam film KalamKaval, starring veteran actor Mammootty, has made a strong impact at the box office. The movie has grossed ₹44.15 crore worldwide in its first weekend, with ₹15.5 crore from Kerala, ₹3.85 crore from the rest of India, and a solid ₹24.8 crore from overseas markets.

This marks Mammootty’s third-biggest opening weekend ever. Interestingly, the collections are close to his top two weekend performers, such as Bheeshma Parvam (₹44.6 crore) and Turbo (₹44.55 crore). However, both of those films had 4-day weekends, while KalamKaval achieved its numbers in just 3 days, making its performance even more impressive.

If KalamKaval continues to hold well in the coming days, it could potentially surpass Bheeshma Parvam, which currently stands as Mammootty’s highest-grossing film with over ₹85 crore worldwide. All eyes are now on the film to see if it can rewrite the record books.

Actor NTR has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection of his personality rights. He filed a petition requesting the court to restrict the use of his name and photographs for commercial purposes without his permission. NTR explained to the court that his stardom and image were being misused illegally, causing a violation of his personal rights.

In his petition, NTR highlighted that several social media platforms and e-commerce companies have been using his photos and name without authorization.

At present, NTR enjoys massive popularity not only in the Telugu states but globally. With his rising fame, the use of his name and image has increased worldwide. NTR urged the Delhi High Court to put an end to the actions of companies that are gaining illegal profits by exploiting his image and popularity.

The petition was heard by Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora of the Delhi High Court, and the court acknowledged the need to protect NTR’s personality rights. It issued directives to social media and e-commerce platforms to act on NTR’s complaints without delay.

The court’s orders were clear and strict. Under the IT Rules 2021, the platforms are required to take appropriate action within three days (72 hours) of receiving a complaint from NTR. The orders also instruct the immediate removal of any unauthorized content or profiles using his photos or name.
