It’s Vijay Deverakonda, Not Ram Charan

A few days back, Bollywood news portals reported that Kill Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt is interested in collaborating with Ram Charan, and some discussions also happened between them. The latest reports suggest that Vijay Deverakonda is in consideration for the film, and not Ram Charan.

Before, the Hindi and Telugu media channels even reported that the Bollywood director’s film with Charan has a chance to go on set before the Sukumar film. However, Kill Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt officially confirmed that there is no truth in the news, and even Charan’s team also confirmed there are no changes in the actor’s schedule. Buchi Babu’s film will be completed by this year, and Sukumar’s film will take off immediately. 

The Rowdy Hero replaces Ram Charan

Now the news from Tollywood circles is that yes, there is truth in Kill’s director being in plans to do a film with a Telugu hero, but it’s Vijay Deverakonda and not Ram Charan. Reportedly, the initial discussions also said to have happened between Nagesh and Vijay.

Vijay Deverakonda targers Pan-Indian Box Office

Vijay Devarakonda undoubtedly has a very large fanbase in Tamil and Hindi along with Telugu. The Liger movie’s Hindi version opened very well in North India, and in Tamil Nadu he is one of the biggest stars from Tollywood, and he just needs the right film to deliver a pan-India blockbuster.

All the films of the Arjun Reddy actor are being made by targeting the pan-India market. His upcoming film, Kingdom Teaser was released recently and received good response. His next film is with Rahul Sankrityan (Taxiwala), which is also a huge-budget pan-Indian film. If everything goes well with Kill Director, then it will be another pan-India project for Vijay Devarakonda.

Even though Vijay Devarakonda’s recent films are failures, the industry people believe he is very much capable of delivering a big blockbuster, and even audiences also feel that. With Kingdom, he is likely to get a big break at the pan-India level. Slowly, Tollywood stars are expanding their market into pan-India level, and Vijay Devarakonda is ready to join the list.

NTR’s Dragon Set to Soar

NTR and Prashanth Neel joined hands for an epic action film that is being produced by Mythri Movies and NTR Arts. The movie’s working title is Dragon. With the announcement itself, the film saw a massive craze, and the fans kept waiting for the film’s commencement. After all the delays, NTR’s Dragon is all set to soar.

NTR 31 was supposed to start last year itself, but the film faced many issues like Salaar 2 plans and delay in the pre-production works. Finally, the film is going on set this Thursday [20th February]. However, NTR will not be participating in this schedule as he will work on War 2 first, and after completing it, he will join this film’s sets. Most probably NTR will join the sets from the 2nd schedule.

The film is said to be the costliest film from Prashant Neel, and it will reportedly have a bigger scale than Salaar and the KGF series. Most of the shooting is said to be done in foreign locations. Rukmini Vasanth is playing the lead actress in this film. Meanwhile, Tarak fans are so happy that NTR’s Dragon is all set to soar.

The film was announced to be released on Sankranthi 2026 long back. But as the film did not go on sets as per plans. So we need to see how Prashant Neel and the team manage to complete shooting by this year itself.

There will be massive expectations on this film because of the Devara actor and KGF director combination. NTR 31 is expected to be different from the earlier films of Prashanth Neel.

Pooja Hegde’s Special Song in Rajinikanth’s Coolie

Lokesh Kanagaraj is packaging Coolie, his upcoming action thriller with superstar Rajinikanth, into a high-end commercial film. Already because of the combination of Rajini and Lokesh, the film has garnered a massive craze, and the latest news suggests that Pooja Hegde’s special song in Rajinikanth’s Coolie will be another exciting addition to the hype.

The film has many stars like Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, Soubin Shahir, Shutu Haasan, and Sathyaraj in crucial roles. The film is in the final portions of shooting, likely to be completed by this March/April. The makers are planning to release the film in the 2nd half of this year.

Pooja Hegde: Rangasthalam – F3 – Coolie

As said above, the film is already carrying huge expectations due to the combination of Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj itself. Now adding spice to the hype, there is another exciting factor added to the film. Reportedly, there will be a special dance number in the film, and actress Pooja Hegde is said to be in final talks for this. Certainly, Pooja Hegde’s special song in Rajinikanth’s Coolie will be another exciting addition to the hype.

Tamannaah’s special song, Kaavalayya, worked big for Rajini’s Jailer, and Pooja Hegde also did the special songs previously in Rangasthalam and F3. So, let us wish that history repeats with Coolie as well.

Kollywood Actor Suriya stunned everyone with his appearance as Rolex in the climax portion of Vikram directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The scene also teased a standalone film for the character among fans and audiences. Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently busy with his Coolie starring Rajinikanth and has also lined up Kaithi 2 starring Karthi which was planned long ago.

There was also buzz about Lokesh Kanagaraj teaming up with Aamir Khan for a film after these films. But Fans and Audience, as said, are waiting eagerly for him to take up the Rolex film as early as possible. The Character has gained a cult following on social media platforms and its references are plentiful in films as well.

Now, it is learned that, Rolex is said to go on sets immediately after the completion of Kaithi 2 which is produced by KVN Productions. So, this is really a great news for them who have been wanting this to happen for a long time. Suriya, on the other hand suffered a big jolt with Kanguva and is hoping to come back well with his Retro. If Retro clicks well, then the hype for Rolex will touch the sky undoubtedly.

No delays, Hari Hara Veera Mallu release locked

Hari Hara Veera Mallu starring Pawan Kalyan has been delayed for a long time. The film is currently in the post production stage and the team has announced the release date for 28th March a long back. But there have been rumors that the movie is likely to postpone its release again. With this, Robinhood and Mad Square have been announced for release on the same date as Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

Producer A.M. Rathnam has given a big update on the film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Powerstar Pawan Kalyan. He announced that the movie will release in theaters on March 28 as previously stated, under any circumstances. He assured that the work is progressing accordingly and that there is no need for any concerns.

He said that they will release the film as planned and are completing the remaining shoot involving Pawan Kalyan. It is already known that the film unit gave a key update on Valentine’s Day. The makers revealed that the second single, a romantic song titled Kollagottindiro, will be released on February 24 at 3 PM.

Pawan Kalyan is also said to allot dates at this month’s end for the team to finish his portion. The team is also committed to complete the shoot as early as possible. So, if Hari Hara Veera Mallu releases on 28th March, Robinhood and Mad Square which made the release plan for the same period must be postponed.

The first single somehow failed to create the hype needed for the film, but the second single’s poster received a good response. Hopefully, this song will give the film a much-needed boost.

Definitely, if the film releases on March 28th, it will take full advantage of the summer festivals like Ugadi, Ramzan, Sriramanavmi, and the Good Friday holiday. It’s the best date for a big film.

Dhanush set for a directorial hat-trick

Kollywood Actor Dhanush made his directorial debut with Pa. Paandi in 2017. The film received good acclaim for his attempt and earned him fine praise for his direction as well. He came back again with his Raayan as a Director last year which emerged as a huge blockbuster also becoming his career-biggest grosser.
