Mani Ratnam Reunites with Vijay Sethupathi

Director Mani Ratnam, who recently faced a big failure with Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life, is set to collaborate once again with Vijay Sethupathi for his upcoming film. It is widely known that they have previously collaborated for Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018).

The script for this project was initially narrated to Silambarasan TR, who was also a part of Thug Life, but due to STR’s packed schedule with his current film Arasan, Mani Ratnam has decided to move forward with Vijay Sethupathi as the lead.

Pre-production activities for the film are already underway. Rukmini Vasanth is said to be in final talks for the lead actress, who has already worked with Sethupathi in Ace. The other cast and crew details are expected to be revealed soon.

Raj Tarun’s Film Directly Releasing on OTT This Week

Actor Raj Tarun began his career with promising hits/films like Uyyala Jampala, Kumari 21F, and Cinema Choopistha Mama. However, he couldn’t maintain the same success and faced a series of flops. Along with some personal controversies, his recent films failed to grab attention, making it difficult for his career to grow.

Now, Raj Tarun’s next film, Chiranjeeva, is set to release directly on OTT via Aha Video. The film features Instagram celebrity Kushitha Kallapu in a key supporting role and is written and directed by Abhinaya Krishna, also known as Adire Abhi.

Chiranjeeva – Raj Tarun’s Next is a direct OTT release

Chiranjeeva follows the story of Shiva, a cheerful young man who suddenly gains a strange power, and he can predict when someone will die. At first, Shiva is excited by this ability, but he soon realizes that such a gift comes with serious consequences. The film explores how he deals with the challenges and dangers that come with his power.

Chiranjeeva will be available for streaming on Aha Video starting Friday, November 7, 2025, and let us hope that it brings the much-needed success for Raj Tarun.

Sree Leela Needs Big Breaks Beyond Tollywood

Sree Leela started her career with a bang with two back-to-back hits like Pelli Sandadi and Dhamaka, and she emerged as a star actress quickly and did a huge number of films continuously.

But the success ratio is very low, which is now impacting her in Tollywood. Sreeeela had three failures this year: Junior, Robinhood, and the recent Mass Jathara, all big failures at the box office. It’s not only about failures; she is not getting any scope to perform in this set of films.

With this, now Sree Leela, after becoming a star actress, is facing tough times in Tollywood, and she does not have a huge number of films in the pipeline. Now she needs to go beyond Telugu cinema to continue as a star actress. 

One good thing is that she is debuting in Kollywood and Bollywood next. Her Tamil debut is a massive and crazy project, Parasakthi, starring Siva Karthikeyan and directed by Sudha Kongara, who always writes forceful characters for female leads.

This film has to be a turning point in her career, and Sreeleela’s Bollywood debut is a romantic drama directed by Anurag Basu, co-starring Kartik Aaryan. These two films need to be huge blockbusters for Sree Leela, so then she will get offers from across all industries, and her stardom will also go to a bigger level.

Netflix Shock: Idli Kadai Clocks Higher Views Than OG

Pawan Kalyan’s biggest box office hit, They Call Him OG, began streaming on Netflix in all languages from October 23rd. Meanwhile, Dhanush’s Idli Kadai started streaming on October 29th, also in all languages. Surprisingly, despite the later release, Idli Kadai has already recorded higher views than OG.

OG – Idli Kadai Views on Netflix till now

  • OG received 3.2 million views in its first week (Oct 23–26) and 2.1 million views in its second week (Oct 27–Nov 2), totaling 5.2 million views over 11 days.
  • Idli Kadai gathered 5.1 million views in just 5 days (Oct 29–Nov 2), nearly matching OG’s 11-day total.

Idli Kadai getting more views than OG on Netflix has surprised fans and industry watchers, especially since Pawan Kalyan’s film had a much bigger OTT deal and is part of a franchise film, which usually demands strong digital performance.

From a business point of view, OG was expected to attract massive viewership, but it hasn’t met those expectations so far, and it needs to maintain consistency in the coming days to increase its views.

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Week 9: These Contestants Face Elimination Heat

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 continues to entertain viewers with drama, fun, and its fair share of controversies. The nominations for Week 9 are complete, and the following contestants have been nominated and are in danger of elimination.

Thanuja, Kalyan, Bharani, Sanjana, Suman Shetty, Srinivas Sai, and Ramu Rathod are the contestants who have been nominated for elimination in Bigg Boss Telugu 9 in the 9th week.

According to voting trends, Thanuja is currently leading, followed by Kalyan and Suman Shetty. However, Srinivas Sai and Ramu Rathod are reportedly in the bottom two, making them the potential candidates for elimination.

Both contestants were also in the bottom positions last week. Srinivas Sai, who entered the house as a wild card, hasn’t made a strong impact on the game so far.

So, most probably, Srinivas Sai is said to be in danger of getting eliminated from the house, as viewers are not much fond of his game. Most unofficial polls show him in last place, with Ramu Rathod just above him.

Akhanda 2 Team Must Kick Off Big

Akhanda 2 Team Must Kick Off Big

Akhanda 2, starring Balakrishna and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, is the upcoming Telugu biggie. With just one month left for its theatrical release on December 5th, fans are surprised that the first single from the film hasn’t been released yet. So far, the makers have done very little promotion, which is disappointing for audiences.

Nowadays, songs play a major role in building hype, especially for big-budget projects. Despite this, the team is delaying the music release, frustrating fans who expected more updates by now.

Akhanda 2 is not just a regional release; it’s a biggie that aims towards pan-India audiences, especially the Hindi market, where it has strong potential. To make an impact, the team needs to step up promotions, including interviews, media appearances, and participation in major events across Hindi-speaking regions.

Until now, only intro glimpses of the lead characters have been released, which is not enough to create strong buzz. For a pan-India film like this, at least two or three singles and two theatrical trailers should be launched soon, along with aggressive promotional campaigns.

Fans are eagerly waiting, but time is running out. The makers need to act fast to ensure Akhanda 2 gets the attention it deserves.

The Raja Saab First Single Postponed Again

After waiting for a long time, Prabhas’ fans were happy that the first single of The Raja Saab’s First Single would be released on the occasion of their favorite hero’s birthday. But the song was not released on the said date, much to the disappointment of everyone. 

The team was busy with the song’s shoot, which made the first single release get delayed, and the makers just released a new poster on Prabhas’s birthday.

During a recent interaction with the fans, director Maruthi said that the first song will be released around 5th November. But now the news is that the song is getting delayed again. 

Poor Promotions from The Raja Saab Team Disappoint Prabhas Fans

Prabha fans have been waiting for an official update from the team of The Raja Saab, and we need to wait and see whether they announce at least when the first single will arrive.

The team is busy with heavy post-production work, and they are sure that the film is on track for a 9th January release, but simultaneously, the team needs to give updates, as it is a big pan-India film, and the buzz needs to increase massively.
