Instead of announcing the date casually on social media, a detailed press meet from the makers would help the team explain the issues clearly and increase the film’s buzz, giving Akhanda 2 a strong and positive push ahead of its release.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Shock: Unexpected Contestant Eliminated, Not Suman Shetty

The 9th season of Bigg Boss Telugu continues to shock viewers with unexpected twists. This season has already seen wild card entries and the return of eliminated contestants, keeping the audience engaged. Now, the 13th week elimination has brought another shock that no one anticipated.

According to unofficial polls and inside sources, it was almost certain that Suman Shetty would be eliminated this week, as he reportedly received the least number of votes. However, the makers stunned everyone by eliminating Rithu instead. The shoot for the episode has already been completed, confirming her exit from the house.

Rithu performed strongly this week and even came close to winning the ticket-to-finale task, losing narrowly to Kalyan. Her elimination has left netizens shocked, with many believing she did not receive the lowest votes.

Such disagreements and speculations about eliminations are common in every season of Bigg Boss, but Rithu’s exit in the 13th week of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu will surely shock everyone and spark strong reactions among fans and critics.

Theatres Express Concern Over Netflix–Warner Bros Deal

On Friday, movie lovers worldwide received big news as Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery revealed a deal for Netflix to acquire WBD’s film studio and streaming service, concluding a lengthy bidding war that included Paramount, Skydance, and Comcast competing for the assets.

Netflix is known for restricting its theater releases and the length of the number of its shows. It stated that it will adhere to ongoing WBD cinematic contracts lasting until 2029.

In contrast to traditional movie studios, the streaming giant always stands against the standard theatrical distribution, which is now raising concerns about potential significant shifts in an industry that continues to face challenges after the pandemic.

The Multiplex Association of India (MAI) expressed deep concern over the proposed deal of Warner Bros. by streaming platform Netflix. They argue that it will disrupt “a vibrant theatrical ecosystem,” as in the past, the platform has deprioritized theatrical releases, and it will be a threat to the exhibition business. However, since it is a global deal, this concern cannot lead to any action or change.

The Raja Saab Gets NO IMAX Release in the USA

Prabhas and Maruthi’s The Raja Saab was expected to be screened in IMAX format worldwide, but the latest news is that the film will not be released in the large format, much to the disappointment of fans. 

Prathyangira Cinemas, the overseas distributor for the film, has announced that James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash has locked in a four-week deal with IMAX, preventing any competing films from being shown during that time.

According to the distributor who announced it officially on X (Twitter), IMAX’s support for The Raja Saab is not possible because of exclusivity.

The exciting news is that the horror comedy will be offered in PLF, DBOX, and various specialty formats. Those formats remain booked with Avatar 3 for four weeks, yet the distributor confirmed that the team will continue to strive for as many special-format screenings as they can secure.

Avatar: Fire and Ash, highly anticipated by fans, will release worldwide on December 19, 2025. The release date for The Raja Saab is set for January 9, 2026. This situation has effectively placed the Prabhas starrer right in IMAX’s exclusive phase for the Hollywood production.

Even in India, the IMAX Screens of The Raja Saab will be impacted by the Avatar 3 release. Meanwhile, the film’s USA advance bookings opened recently, and the trend is better than expectations, with close to $75K pre-sales for premieres already.

Trade Shocked by Andhra King Taluka Performance

Trade Shocked by Andhra King Taluka Performance

Andhra King Taluka, starring Ram Pothineni, Bhagyashri Borse, and Upendra in a key role, opened to strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews. However, the film’s collections did not reflect this at the box office, surprising both the trade and audiences. The movie underperformed not only in mass centers but also in A centers and overseas markets.

Initially, many believed that the release of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 the following week affected Andhra King Taluka’s weak performance despite a strong word-of-mouth. But with Akhanda 2 postponed due to financial hurdles, buyers expected a rise in collections. Unfortunately, the film failed to show any improvement, even during the weekend when a jump was anticipated.

Here, we can point to two main reasons. First, family audiences and general viewers may not connect emotionally with films centered on the cinema industry or movie stars, unlike commercial entertainers or family dramas. Second, in today’s market, the first weekend is crucial, often contributing up to 80% of a film’s total box office. Since Andhra King Taluka had only an average opening and did not grow in its first weekend, its theatrical run is almost over.

As a result, the postponement of Akhanda 2 has not helped the film, and audiences appear to have already moved on, leaving Andhra King Taluka struggling to recover at the box office.
