Mass Jathara’s OTT Negotiations

After a disappointing result at the box office, Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara, directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu and produced by Naga Vamsi, is facing tough time with the OTT negotiations as well, according to the latest reports. 

OTT platforms are increasingly imposing conditions on movie streaming rights. Producers have stated that these platforms base their payments on a film’s performance, deducting a percentage of the final deal amount if the movie underperforms.

According to the latest buzz, the same is happening for Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara, and the producers are having some negotiations with Netflix, the OTT giant which bagged the digital rights of the film.

Reportedly, the platform is attempting to reduce the agreed-upon percentage, which the filmmakers oppose, requesting early streaming instead. However, the OTT platform is not interested in early streaming and wants to lower the price due to the film’s poor box office performance.

The producers, already struggling financially due to “Mass Jathara’s” failure, are refusing to accept any cuts to their agreed-upon deal. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.

Varanasi BGM: Keeravani Proves Why He’s Unmatched

Keeravani has composed the music for all Rajamouli films, and his music never failed. Despite working for a longtime the Oscar winner has scored many superhit songs and with the latest Varanasi BGM, Keeravani proves why he is unmatched among his peers.

It is widely known that MM Keeravani is the brother of Rajamouli and he has worked for all of his films. However, when it comes to other films his music faces criticism sometimes. 

Varanasi: Keeravani wins Mahesh Fans and other audiences’ hearts

So, before the launch event of Varanasi, everyone doubted whether the Oscar winning music director can match Rajamouli’s Globetrotter vision. Especially after Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s music failure, there were more doubts on his inclusion for the biggest project.

But Keeravani once again proves he is the only one who completely understands Rajamouli’s vision and takes it to the next level. He delivers his best during the Globetrotter event with the title theme, Kumbha theme, and Mandakini theme.

He also impressed Mahesh Babu’s fans with his speech as he said, “I bought a flat… not in Hyderabad or Vizag, but in the hearts of Mahesh Babu fans.”

But after seeing his work for the character themes and title glimpse, fans say that he didn’t just construct a flat in the hearts of Mahesh Fans or general audiences for Varanasi, but he built a massive villa with just the introduction theme. The music is a key reason Varanasi’s theme has resonated so widely and created such a powerful emotional impact.

With Rajamouli, music director Keeravani consistently breaks boundaries, proving he uniquely understands and complements the visionary filmmaker’s style.

SS Rajamouli and Prabhas’s Baahubali: The Epic, the grand movie that was made by uniting two parts of the franchise into one part, was released three weeks ago, and the film has almost ended its run, including North America.

No Forced Sequel: Drishyam 3 Happens Naturally

Ever since Mohanlal and Jeetu Joseph announced Drishyam 3, there have been huge expectations around the film’s story and its theatrical release. Jeetu Joseph says that it is not a forced sequel and proceedings will be as natural as they can be.

The director reiterates that Drishyam 3 will be an organic continuation of the previous films, and he will not make the movie just to match the hype, as his focus remains on telling the right story.

Jeetu Joseph said that he is not consciously trying to write a ‘better-than-Drishyam 2’ script just for the sake of it, and in Drishyam 3, his focus will be only on Georgekutty and his family and on what could have happened in their lives over the six or seven years since Part 2.

Observing both parts, we see that the surroundings and the people around Georgekutty have also changed. Initially, those around him believed in his innocence. However, in Part 2, many began to suspect something else. Their perspectives shifted. Jeetu has stated that he employed a similar, organic approach in Part 3 as well.

The Malayalam version’s shoot is happening now, and the Telugu version’s shoot is expected to start in early 2026.

Upasana lands in a controversy

Upasana Konidela, who is currently expecting her second child, has found herself in a social media controversy after sharing advice with young women about pregnancy and egg freezing.

During her visit to IIT Hyderabad, she suggested that women could consider freezing their eggs as a backup plan for the future. She also said that women should focus on becoming financially independent before thinking about marriage. Upasana later posted a video from the event.

In the video, she noticed that more men raised their hands when she asked who was ready for marriage. She observed that the women seemed more focused on their careers, which she described as a positive sign of a changing India. She encouraged students to create a vision for their future, set clear goals, and not hold themselves back.

However, after Upasana shared the video, a major controversy erupted online. Many netizens strongly disagreed with her advice to young women.

Some doctors also reacted to her comments, pointing out that egg freezing is neither easy nor affordable for many average women.

On the other hand, some people supported Upasana’s views. They stressed the importance of financial independence and said women should have full control over when they want to marry or become mothers.

In the end, the debate reminded people that celebrities and wealthy individuals need to choose their words carefully when speaking to the general public, as their privileges allow them opportunities that many ordinary people cannot afford.
