Kantara Chapter 1 Becomes 2025’s Biggest Grosser Today

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 saw a good jump in its collections yesterday and started the fourth weekend on a strong note. Today, the film joins the 800 Cr gross club as well and becomes the biggest grosser of 2025 by beating Chhaava.

The spiritual action drama is expected to do another 50 Cr from here. This is a sensational performance and beyond the trade’s expectations.

As said above, Kantar Chapter 1 witnessed a good jump in the Saturday collections, and the film will also join the 200 Cr net club in Hindi in India. Compared to the South version performance, this is not such a big number, but it is still decent. 

The Hindi version’s performance is the main reason for the film not achieving the 1000 Cr milestone at the worldwide box office.

Produced by Hombale Films, the Kantara prequel did extraordinary numbers in Karnataka, and it also achieved the all-time biggest grosser record.

Coming to the Telugu states, the film crossed the 100 Cr gross mark, while it gathered 65 Cr in Tamil Nadu and close to 55 Cr in Kerala. This is an extraordinary collection, and even overseas, the South versions did very well, but Hindi numbers were disappointing.

Early Premieres for Baahubali The Epic and Mass Jathara

Baahubali: The Epic, starring Prabhas and directed by Rajamouli, and Mass Jathara, featuring Ravi Teja, are both set to release in theaters next week. Interestingly, both films will have early paid premieres the night before their official release dates.

Tollywood has recently embraced the trend of early or paid premieres in India. Earlier, word-of-mouth (WOM) for Telugu films mostly came from overseas audiences. But now, with Indian audiences watching premieres first, the initial buzz is being generated locally, which is helping films perform better at the box office.

Thanks to the positive results, more Telugu filmmakers are choosing to arrange early premieres for their releases.

Next weekend is shaping up to be a big one for Tollywood. Baahubali: The Epic will re-release on October 31, with paid premieres on the evening of October 30. Meanwhile, Mass Jathara will hit theaters on November 1, with its premieres scheduled for October 31.

Since Mass Jathara, starring Ravi Teja, is a mass commercial entertainer aimed mainly at Indian audiences, its box office journey will begin strongly from within the country rather than overseas.

With both films generating buzz, fans are eagerly waiting to experience the excitement on the big screen.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Misses the Right Occasion to Announce Kaithi 2

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has unintentionally created confusion among fans regarding Kaithi 2, which was expected to be his next project after Coolie with Rajinikanth, which was released this August.

At different times, reports suggested that Lokesh was planning a multi-starrer with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, or a solo film with Rajinikanth. After all these speculations, the buzz now says he’s returning to Kaithi 2.

Kaithi Completes Six Years – Yet No Update From Lokesh Kanagaraj About Kaithi 2

However, Lokesh has not made any official announcement about the sequel, and fans are still unsure when the project will begin.

Today marks six years since the release of Kaithi, but the team didn’t share any update or teaser about the sequel, even a simple line like “Dilli is coming back” could have excited fans and created a viral moment online.

There’s a lot of anticipation for Kaithi 2, and fans were hoping for at least a small hint on this special day. For now, Lokesh is busy working on a film where he plays the lead role, while his direction team is reportedly developing the script for Kaithi 2.

Everyone is waiting to see when Lokesh will officially announce the sequel and bring back the much-loved character Dilli to the big screen.

Dhruv Vikram Set to Outshine His Father at 2025 Box Office

Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran part 2 was released in March this year and ended as a failure at the box office despite getting decent reviews. Now, Dhruv Vikram is all set to outshine his father at the 2025 box office with his latest film, Bison.

While Vikram’s film had a decent talk from audiences and critics, the low pre-release buzz and multiple postponements dented its box office result.

Dhruv Vikram’s Bison to cross Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 at the box office

Veera Dheeran Sooran Part 2 just collected around 62 Cr gross worldwide. Meanwhile, Dhruv Vikram released his film, Bison, in theaters last week, and it is doing very well at the box office. 

By tomorrow, the film will join the 50 Cr gross club, and it is expected to gross more than 70 Cr in its full run. Which means that Dhruv Vikram will outshine his father, Vikram, at the 2025 box office with Bison, a much-needed box office success for the young hero.

D54, the 54th film of Dhanush, is directed by Vignesh Raja, and Mamitha Baiju is said to be playing the female lead role in this film, which will be a rooted village girl character. The actress was recently seen in Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude.

The film reportedly blends a strong father-son emotion alongside a thriller touch. Mamitha Baiju will share the screen with Dhanush for the first time with this film, and it is also known that she will also be seen in a crucial role in Vijay’s Jana Nayagan.

Also, K.S. Ravikumar will be seen in a serious and intense role in this film, which is far from his usual comedic space.

Music director GV Prakash gave a blasting update on the film on his social media account and assured fans that it will be a blockbuster film for sure.

It is known that NBK played two roles in the film, Murali Krishna and Aghora, which will continue as it is in the sequel, and the interesting news is that in Akhanda 2, the character of Murali Krishna, played by Balakrishna, will be seen as a Hindupur MLA.

Recently, the makers of the film released a blasting glimpse, which shows the character of Murali Krishna, who was described as a powerful person in the first part. 

In the sequel, the character is said to be designed to be more powerful, and he will be seen as a member of the legislative assembly, with the constituency being Hindupur, which is the constituency of Balakrishna in real life. 

This will certainly be a treat for fans, and they are very excited for the film’s grand theatrical release on 5th December.

Court Bans Unauthorized Use of Chiranjeevi’s Name

The City Civil Court in Hyderabad has granted an ad-interim injunction in favor of Megastar Chiranjeevi, protecting his personality and publicity rights. The order, issued on September 26, 2025, restricts individuals, companies, and online platforms from using Chiranjeevi’s name, image, voice, or likeness for any commercial or personal gain without his consent. 

The court recognized Chiranjeevi as one of India’s most respected film icons whose reputation was being misused through unauthorized digital content, merchandise, memes, and even AI-generated materials. 

This landmark order aims to prevent further exploitation of his identity and safeguard his professional and personal image.

Following the court order, Chiranjeevi met Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand Sajjanar to discuss enforcing stricter criminal action against those violating personality rights. He emphasized the growing misuse of celebrity identities in the digital and AI era and called for stronger laws to deter such acts. 

The meeting highlighted the need for better protection of public figures’ image rights in India. Chiranjeevi also expressed gratitude to his legal counsel, Sri S. Nagesh Reddy, and his team for their efforts in achieving this significant legal milestone.
