Jana Nayagan Censor Row: Vishal Threatens Nadigar Sangam Strike Against CBFC

Vishal has issued a strong warning against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over the prolonged censor issues surrounding Jana Nayagan, threatening a massive strike involving over 1,500 Nadigar Sangam members.

The Tamil film, originally planned for a January 9 release, has been stuck in certification limbo for months, shocking both the industry and fans alike.

Court Approach Fails to Bring Relief

When the initial censor proceedings failed to clear the film, the producer approached the court seeking intervention. However, the expected relief did not materialize, and the case was later withdrawn.

The film was then sent to the Revising Committee for reconsideration, but even after this escalation, there has been no official update on the clearance status.

Release Now Pushed to June

Due to the ongoing censor complications, Jana Nayagan has now been postponed to a June release window. The prolonged delay is reportedly causing significant financial strain for the producer.

The uncertainty surrounding the certification has become a major talking point in Tamil cinema circles.

Vishal’s Strong Statement on CBFC

Actor and Nadigar Sangam representative Vishal has openly expressed his frustration over the situation. He stated:

“I’m against the idea of just 5 members deciding whether a film should be watched by 7 crore people in Tamil Nadu through censor. If this continues, more than 1500 members from Nadigar Sangam will soon go on strike against the CBFC for Jana Nayagan.”

His statement has intensified the debate around the censor system and creative freedom in the industry.

Industry Awaits Clarity

With tensions rising and a possible Nadigar Sangam strike being discussed, the situation has now moved beyond just one film. It has sparked a larger conversation about the functioning of the CBFC and its impact on Tamil cinema.

For now, the entire industry is waiting for clarity on Jana Nayagan’s censor status and whether the threatened strike will materialize.

Prabhas To Help People Media Factory Recover ₹100 Cr Raja Saab Losses

Prabhas is stepping up to support People Media Factory after The Raja Saab reportedly incurred losses of nearly ₹100 crore at the box office.

The film, mounted on a massive budget, was released through a high-risk distribution strategy. The makers chose to take only advances from distributors instead of closing outright business deals — a bold move backed by strong confidence in the project.

Why The Raja Saab Underperformed

Despite the hype, The Raja Saab failed to connect with audiences. Negative reviews impacted its box office momentum from day one, leading to significant losses for the production house.

The production banner also faced criticism for not effectively controlling the film’s budget and stretching the project over several years. The extended production period and mounting costs became major discussion points in trade circles.

Prabhas Agrees To Collaborate Again

In a gesture of goodwill, Prabhas has reportedly agreed to work with People Media Factory again to help compensate for their losses. The responsibility now shifts to the production house to set up the right project.

What People Media Factory Needs Next

For their next outing with Prabhas, People Media Factory needs to bring an exciting and powerful director on board — someone who can design a film worthy of Prabhas’ market value and star image.

With the right script and direction, Prabhas has repeatedly proven that he can deliver massive box office numbers. His pan-India appeal with films like Baahubali and Salaar stands as proof of his pulling power across markets.

If People Media Factory manages to lock a strong creative combination and control the economics smartly, their next Prabhas film could turn the narrative around completely.

Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna Wedding: Udaipur Date & No-Phone Rule

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are officially tying the knot in a grand destination wedding at Udaipur, Rajasthan, with strict privacy measures including a no-phone rule for all guests.

After years of captivating audiences with their on-screen chemistry in blockbusters like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, Tollywood’s most-loved couple is ready to begin their new chapter together.

Royal Wedding Venue in Udaipur

The wedding celebrations will take place in Udaipur, Rajasthan — a city renowned for its royal palaces and majestic lakes. The main ceremony is scheduled for February 26, with three days of pre-wedding festivities.

The celebrations will include traditional Haldi and Sangeet functions, bringing together family and close friends from the Telugu film industry.

Strict No-Phone Policy for Guests

In a move to ensure complete privacy, the families have implemented strict security arrangements:

  • No media access near the wedding venue under any circumstances
  • Strict no-phone policy for all guests to prevent photos or videos from leaking online
  • Tight security around the venue to keep celebrations intimate and exclusive

The couple is known for keeping their relationship private, and the wedding arrangements reflect their desire for an intimate ceremony away from public scrutiny.

Vijay-Rashmika Love Story

The duo first sparked romance rumours during the filming of Geetha Govindam (2018), which became a massive blockbuster. They later reunited for Dear Comrade (2019), further fuelling speculation about their off-screen relationship.

While both actors maintained silence about their personal lives, their chemistry remained undeniable to fans who have eagerly awaited this announcement.

Dhurandhar OTT: Kannada, Malayalam Versions Missing Before Sequel Release

Fans in Karnataka and Kerala are frustrated as Dhurandhar Part 1 remains unavailable in Kannada and Malayalam on OTT — just weeks before the sequel hits theatres.

Dhurandhar’s Blockbuster Hindi Run

Dhurandhar, which released in theatres last December in Hindi, turned into a massive industry hit. After the film received blockbuster word of mouth, there was strong demand for South Indian language releases in theatres as well.

However, due to time constraints, the makers did not release the film theatrically in South languages. Instead, they later added multiple language versions for OTT streaming.

Missing Kannada and Malayalam Audio on Netflix

The film is currently streaming on Netflix in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and even Arabian and Brazilian Portuguese audio versions.

Surprisingly, the Kannada and Malayalam versions are missing — and this has led to visible frustration among audiences from those regions.

Sequel Releasing in All Languages

Now, the sequel — Dhurandhar The Revenge — is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The makers have officially announced that Part 2 will release in all these languages. But audiences in Karnataka and Kerala are questioning how they are expected to watch the sequel in theatres without having access to Part 1 in their language on OTT.

Many viewers are expressing their concern on social media, stating that watching the second part without understanding the first part fully will affect their experience.

Will Makers Add Missing Languages?

With just weeks left for the sequel’s release, it remains to be seen whether the makers will resolve the issue by adding Kannada and Malayalam audio options for Part 1 on Netflix.

Given the growing pan-India market, language accessibility plays a crucial role in sequel anticipation.

If the issue is not addressed soon, it could impact the buzz for Dhurandhar The Revenge in Karnataka and Kerala.

Jai Hanuman Muhurat Puja: Rishab Shetty’s Pan-India Epic Launches at Anjanadri

The grand muhurat puja of Jai Hanuman was held at the sacred Anjanadri Hills, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. The spiritually powerful location added divine significance to the launch of this ambitious pan-India epic.

The ceremony marked the official beginning of one of Tollywood’s most awaited big-budget projects, creating a historic moment for Indian cinema.

Top Producers and Stars Unite for the Launch

The film brings together leading production houses and prominent personalities from the industry in a rare collaboration.

Producer Bhushan Kumar joined hands with Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers, along with director Prasanth Varma and Shiv Chanana of T-Series for the auspicious launch.

Rishab Shetty, who plays the lead role in the film, graced the ceremony. Teja Sajja — the face of Hanu-Man — was also present to bless the occasion, making it a symbolic moment for the franchise.

Shooting Schedule and Star Cast

The shooting of Jai Hanuman is expected to begin shortly after the muhurat ceremony. The film stars Rishab Shetty in the lead role, with Rana Daggubati reportedly playing a crucial character.

Directed by Prasanth Varma and produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with T-Series, the project is being mounted on a massive scale with a pan-India release strategy.

Two Years in the Making After Hanu-Man Success

After the blockbuster success of Hanu-Man, it has taken more than two years for Jai Hanuman to officially begin production. The delay has only increased anticipation among fans eager for the sequel.

The film is said to be one of the biggest budget productions ever from Tollywood, aiming for a grand pan-India and global release. With the muhurat puja now complete, the countdown to this epic has officially begun.

Allu Arjun-Atlee Film: ₹700 Cr Business Awaits April 8 Teaser

Allu Arjun is currently working on one of the most ambitious projects of his career under the direction of Atlee. The film is said to be a large-scale sci-fi action entertainer set across multiple worlds.

In this epic visual spectacle, Allu Arjun will reportedly be seen in multiple roles. The film also features Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, and Janhvi Kapoor as part of its star-studded cast.

Produced by Sun Pictures, the film is mounted on a massive budget of over ₹700 crore. It is not just targeting Indian languages but is also aiming at international audiences, positioning itself as a global-scale project.

Why Has Business Not Yet Begun?

Usually, films of this magnitude — like Varanasi, Spirit, or Kalki 2 — attract early business enquiries and distribution discussions even before promotional content is out.

However, surprisingly, industry buzz suggests that major business negotiations for this Allu Arjun–Atlee film have not yet begun.

Both OTT platforms and distributors are reportedly waiting to see the visual content before committing to large deals. Since this is a new genre for Atlee, many want to understand how he is handling the scale, VFX, and multi-world concept.

Teaser Planned for Allu Arjun’s Birthday

The team is planning to release the first teaser on April 8, marking Allu Arjun’s birthday. This teaser is expected to showcase the film’s visual ambition and scale for the first time.

Sources indicate that the makers intentionally want to initiate business discussions only after revealing the visuals, so that buyers can clearly assess the magnitude of the project.

Record-Breaking Pre-Release Business Expected

Given the ₹700 crore budget, the producers are expected to aim for record-breaking pre-release business.

Prabhas Next Movie After Fauji, Spirit & Kalki 2 — What’s Confirmed?

Prabhas is currently one of the busiest stars in Indian cinema, simultaneously working on three major projects — Fauji, Kalki 2, and Spirit.

As per current plans, Fauji is aiming for a release this year, while Spirit has already locked March 2027 as its release window.

Shooting Schedule for Current Projects

Sources suggest that Prabhas is expected to complete the shoots of Fauji and Spirit within this year itself. Meanwhile, Kalki 2 is likely to continue production into 2027, with shooting expected to wrap up in the first half of that year.

The sequel is reportedly targeting a mid-2028 release.

No New Commitments Yet After 2027

Interestingly, after completing these commitments, Prabhas has not officially signed any new film yet. From the second half of 2027, he is expected to be available for fresh projects.

This has triggered industry speculation about who will direct Prabhas next.

Prabhas – Prasanth Varma Project in Discussion

There have been discussions between Prabhas and Prasanth Varma regarding a new project. Initially, the film was expected to go on floors next year.

However, there are still uncertainties about whether the project will materialize as planned.

Salaar 2 Remains a Strong Possibility

One thing appears certain — Prabhas‘ next commitment is likely to be under Hombale Films.

If Prashanth Neel completes Dragon by the first half of 2027, then Salaar: Part 2 could go on floors next year itself. However, if Dragon takes longer — especially since it is reportedly being planned as a two-part film — delays may push Salaar 2 further.

Is Sujeeth Back in the Race?

Amid these developments, there is fresh buzz that Sujeeth is interested in collaborating with Prabhas again. The duo had earlier worked together on Saaho.

Reports suggest that Sujeeth has already narrated a line to Prabhas and is now developing a full script. If the script impresses, the project could potentially start in the second half of next year.

Before that, Sujeeth is expected to complete his current commitment with Nani.
