AA22, the Allu Arjun–Atlee film, is one of the biggest-budget Indian films ever and the most expensive project to be produced by a Kollywood banner, Sun Pictures. The film involves multiple worlds, extensive CGI work, Hollywood technicians, and a massive star cast.
Initially, the film was planned for a December 2026 release. But due to delays in production work, it was pushed to the first half of 2027. Now, it is said to be moving to the second half of 2027, with chances of even releasing towards the end of 2027. Since the film requires massive CGI work, delays are quite common.
This commonly happens with big-scale films, as post-production takes a significant amount of time, and as said above, AA22 is one of the biggest-budget Indian films, so such delays are expected.
AA22 Release Delayed – Allu Arjun to Work with Lokesh Kanagaraj in the Meantime
Due to the delay, Allu Arjun is not waiting for the film’s release and has already signed his next project with Lokesh Kanagaraj. After finishing the Atlee film’s shoot, the Pushpa 2 actor will immediately begin working on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s project. Atlee and his team will be occupied with post-production during this time.
Though fans may have to wait a bit longer to see Allu Arjun on the big screen, he is planning things smartly to ensure minimal gap between his next two releases. The Lokesh Kanagaraj film is expected to hit the screens in 2028.
In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh received a significant extortion and death threat on February 10, 2026. It is being said that the threat has been given by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Reportedly, the Dhurandhar actor received a threatening WhatsApp voice note from an unidentified sender demanding a ransom of ₹10 crore. The sender claimed affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This incident follows recent threats against high-profile Bollywood figures, including a firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence just days before.
Mumbai Police have increased security for Ranveer Singh, and an investigation is underway
In response to the threat given to Ranveer Singh, Mumbai Police have significantly beefed up security outside his residence, which he shares with his wife, Deepika Padukone, and their daughter. The couple has also deployed six additional private armed guards, which reportedly led to a formal inquiry from their housing society’s management regarding safety in common areas.
The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has launched a probe and is currently tracing the digital origin of the voice note.
After a blockbuster like KGF Chapter 2, Yash took a long gap to come up with his next film, and he is all set to enthrall his fans with Toxic-The Movie, getting released on March 19, 2026. But the makers of the film are unnecessarily hyping the business numbers of the film.
A few days before, it was reported that the Telugu states’ rights to Toxic have been sold for 120 Cr, which was not true, and now, the team once again spreads an exaggerated number of 105 Cr. The deals are being made on an advance basis and cover multiple films, but the producers are claiming those high numbers are only for their specific movie.
It looks like Toxic- The movie team is trying to create hype that Dhurandhar 2, which competes with them at the box office, is not affecting their film, and that it is closing deals at record-breaking business prices.
It remains to be seen how this marketing strategy will translate at the real box office, as for now, whatever numbers the team is announcing are highly exaggerated.
The Allu Arjun team has officially issued a strong statement dismissing the recent allegations made against the actor as completely baseless and untrue. In the official note released by the AA Office, the team clarified that Allu Arjun has always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and honour.
The statement further revealed that the team is taking these false allegations very seriously and has already initiated defamation proceedings against those responsible. They also urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information.
Shocking Allegations on Allu Arjun
This clarification comes after a brand strategist’s claims sparked intense debate on social media. In a viral podcast, the strategist alleged that Allu Arjun’s team follows extremely strict rules for meetings, including restrictions such as no eye contact, no handshakes, and allowing only pre-approved questions for media interactions.
Responding firmly to these claims, Team Allu Arjun categorically denied all such rumours through an official note, calling them false and misleading. With legal action now underway, the team has made it clear that spreading unfounded allegations will not be tolerated.
Recently, the Arjun Reddy fame Vijay Deverakonda overwhelmed his fans with updates of his upcoming films, Ranabaali and Rowdy Janardhan, and he is all set to enthrall them with another update. The rumor is that the actor is collaborating with Vikram K. Kumar, known for his work on “Manam” and “24.”
As said above, Vijay is currently busy with two projects, Rowdy Janardhana and Ranabaali, and he has signed his next project with Vikram Kumar under UV Creations. Reportedly, for this film, the director approached Rahman for music, but nothing is officially confirmed yet.
It is being said that the shoot is set to start at the end of this year. Certainly, Vijay Deverakonda and Vikram K. Kumar’s combination will be an exciting one, and fans look forward to its official update.
The much-awaited sequel to Raj and DK’s popular crime-thriller series Farzi is finally taking shape. The show recently completed three years since its release, and the creators have officially confirmed that Farzi 2 is currently in development.
A few days ago, Shahid Kapoor teased fans by revealing a glimpse of his new look, hinting that filming for the sequel may begin soon. Adding to the excitement, the actor shared a photo with creators Raj and DK, confirming his return for the next season.
The makers dropped the official announcement of Farzi 2 on the show’s 3rd anniversary
On February 10, marking the third anniversary of Farzi’s premiere, filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K., popularly known as Raj & DK, announced that work on Farzi 2 is underway. They shared a picture of a large stack of fake currency on their official X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption, “Round 2 in progress. Farzi.”
Farzi premiered on Amazon Prime Video in February 2023 and received strong appreciation for its gripping storyline and powerful performances. The series starred Shahid Kapoor in the lead role, along with Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Bhuvan Arora, and Kavya Thapar.
The Ajith– Adhik Ravichandran combination was locked long ago and was expected to repeat immediately after Ajith’s career-biggest blockbuster Good Bad Ugly. Normally, after such a successful combination, multiple producers would line up to back the project. However, the film has been on hold for several months as producers are unable to afford it due to Ajith’s high remuneration.
Ajith is reportedly quoting a fee of around ₹170 crore. With this, the total budget goes beyond ₹300 crore on paper. Even after multiple calculations, producers feel the project is not recoverable and are stepping back. Discussions have taken place with several Tamil and Telugu producers, but nothing has worked out so far, as recovery remains the key concern.
Ajith’s career-biggest blockbuster Good Bad Ugly itself collected around ₹250 crore gross worldwide. Even if the next film achieves similar numbers, the theatrical share would be close to ₹120 crore, which is only about 40% of the total budget. The remaining 60% recovery becomes difficult, especially now that OTT platforms are no longer offering massive deals.
If the budget were around ₹200 crore, the project could be feasible for producers. However, with Ajith’s remuneration alone touching ₹170 crore, the film currently appears financially unviable.
Malayalam actress Anaswara Rajan made her Telugu debut with the film Champion, starring opposite Roshan Meka, and the actress is getting exciting offers in the Telugu Film industry.

Expectations for this film have risen after this news spread on social media. The Telugu audiences are eagerly waiting to see how the fresh and exciting combination of Sangeeth Shobhan, who was last seen in MAD Square, and Champion fame Anaswara Rajan will impress them on the big screen.
At present, this project has become a hot topic online, and an official announcement with more details is expected soon.
