Toxic, starring Yash, has been grabbing attention for both the right and wrong reasons. The latest buzz about the film’s massive budget is now creating waves in industry circles.

According to reports, Toxic is being made on a staggering budget of over ₹500 crore. If this turns out to be true, it would surpass the budget of the popular KGF series. We will have to wait and see how the film does its pre-release business.

The makers have officially announced that the film will release on March 19. It is expected to face a major box office clash with the much-awaited Dhurandhar 2.

As said above, Yash’s Toxic received attention due to some controversies. Recently, a Christian organization has reportedly filed a complaint with the Central Board of Film Certification after the Women’s Commission criticized the teaser for its alleged inappropriate portrayal of a sexual scene.

Telugu Cinema fans were delighted with the announcement of Aadarsha Kutumbam House No 47 under the combination of Venkatesh and Trivikram. Also known as AK 47, the film has changed its cinematographer, according to the latest news. 

The inside reports suggest that a DOP change for Trivikram – Venkatesh’s AK 47, and Ravi K. Chandran is set to take over as the cinematographer, replacing Sanu John on the project.

Even for the last film of Trivikram, Guntur Kaaram, starring Mahesh Babu, the cameraman was changed in the middle of the shooting. But sometimes, these kinds of creative decisions happen in filmmaking.

This family entertainer starring Venkatesh Daggubati and directed by Trivikram Srinivas is produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations. The film began shooting in December 2025 with Srinidhi Shetty playing the female lead.

Lucky Baskhar, starring Dulque Salmaan, is the finest film from director Venky Atluri, and the sequel to the film was already announced, with everyone expecting it would be an immediate film after Suriya’s current film with the director.

But now the news is that Venky Atluri is doing his next film with Nani after Suriya’s film. Nani is doing The Paradise with Srikanth Odela, and he has already signed a film with Sujeeth. After Sujeeth’s film, Nani will work on Venky Atluri’s film, which is likely to go on sets in early 2027.

The fans will be a bit disappointed that Venky Atluri is not taking up the sequel of Lucky Bashkar as his next, but his joining hands with Nani will certainly raise superb hype among audiences.

0

Chiranjeevi and Bobby Kolli previously delivered a blockbuster with Waltair Veerayya, which was released during Sankranthi 2023. Naturally, when the successful duo decided to collaborate once again, many expected their next film to arrive for Sankranthi 2027.

Produced by KVN Productions, the project was initially planned to begin earlier. However, due to several reasons, including the producer being tied up with other commitments, the shooting has not started yet.

The film was first expected to go on floors in March, but the latest reports suggest a further delay. With this setback, it now seems highly unlikely that Chiranjeevi and Bobby’s film, tentatively referred to as Mega158, will make it to Sankranthi 2027.

Given its grand scale, the project requires extensive shooting schedules and significant post-production work. As of now, the film is likely to hit the big screens in Summer 2027.

The hopes of Vijay’s fans have been dashed, as it now appears that his last film as a hero, Jana Nayagan, will not be released anytime soon, as an official update from the film’s Canada distributor is circulating on social media and has sparked widespread discussion.

So far, the producers or the film’s team have not made any official announcement. However, the distributor’s statement has come as a shock to both the industry and fans.

York Cinemas, the Canada distributor has announced that Jana Nayagan will not release before April 30th. Patrons with pending tickets or refunds are asked to contact the theatre, and members will get priority booking once the new date is confirmed.

Everyone knows Jailer was a sensational blockbuster, collecting over ₹600 Cr gross worldwide. With this success, there is a pan-India level craze for Jailer 2, and the buzz around its release date is growing with each passing day.

The movie is in the final phase of shooting, and the entire shoot is expected to be completed by this month. However, the film has yet to announce its release date. The reason is said to be that the team is looking for a date with no competition across all major languages:  Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.

As the movie has big potential to perform strongly in all languages, opting for a solo release is considered the best strategy by the makers of Jailer 2. A June release is said to be under consideration. The team is likely to announce the release date once the Tamil elections schedule is out.

Kollywood is eagerly awaiting a ₹1000 Cr club film, and Jailer 2 definitely has a strong chance to achieve that milestone

For the Trivikram–Venkatesh film, there has been strong buzz that it is likely to be released during the Dasara timeline. But in a shocking move, Naga Vamsi has announced a new film, Emo Emo Idi, for the Dasara release under his production banner.
