Big Dasara Battle Brewing: Prabhas vs Venkatesh vs Nagarjuna

The Telugu film industry and movie lovers are used to multiple big releases during the Sankranthi festival. However, Dasara 2026 is shaping up to be even more exciting, with a potential box office clash between Prabhas, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh.

Prabhas’ film Fauzi, directed by Hanu, began shooting quite some time ago. Recently, the makers officially confirmed that Prabhas has put all his other projects on hold and has dedicated the next two to three months exclusively to complete Fauzi. The team is planning to release the film during the Dasara festival.

Dasara Box Office Set for a Fiery Clash Between Prabhas, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh

Venkatesh is currently working with director Trivikram on Adarsha Kutumbam. The film was initially announced for a summer release, but due to pending shooting schedules, it has been postponed. The makers are now aiming for a Dasara release.

Meanwhile, Nagarjuna is working with director Karthik on his landmark 100th film. This prestigious project is also said to be targeting a Dasara release.

Although none of the films has officially announced a Dasara release date yet, all three projects are currently eyeing the festive window. If things fall into place, fans can look forward to an exciting Dasara box office clash between Prabhas, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh.

Netflix Fixes Dhurandhar After Backlash

There have been instances where strong reactions from the public result in changes in films’ scenes or content. But for the first time, Netflix has changed a film’s content with Dhurandhar because of viewers’ complaints and strong reactions.

Dhurandhar started streaming on Netflix from December 31, but instead of celebration, the film faced harsh criticism from viewers for its poor color grading and washed-out visuals.

Netflix receives backlash from OTT viewers for changes made to Dhurandhar

Many complained that the OTT version looked significantly inferior to the theatrical experience, with dull contrast and muted colors ruining the impact of the film. Following the massive backlash and sustained fan pressure on social media, Netflix India has now quietly rolled out an updated version of the film.

The AV1 bitrate has reportedly been increased from 1.79 Mbps to 12.56 Mbps, nearly six times more data, resulting in noticeably better contrast, deeper shadows, and restored blue and orange tones. This post-release technical fix is a rare move from Netflix, highlighting the impact of audience reaction to Dhurandhar.

Jai Hanuman Out of Sankranthi Race

Hanuman was released during Sankranthi 2024 and emerged as a sensational pan-India blockbuster, grossing around ₹295 crore worldwide. Director Prasanth Varma started its sequel, Jai Hanuman with great excitement, but the film is yet to start the shoot.

As said above, Hanu-Man became one of the biggest grossers in Tollywood and also set records as the highest-grossing film in the medium-budget category.

The film concluded with the announcement of its sequel, Jai Hanuman, which gave goosebumps to audiences. At the time, the team stated that the sequel would go on floors immediately. However, due to several reasons, director Prashanth Varma explored other projects in between, but none of them materialised.

Sadly, even after delivering such a massive blockbuster with Hanuman, it has been more than two years since a Prashanth Varma film went on sets.

Jai Hanuman was later announced with Rishabh Shetty in the lead, under Mythri Movie Makers’ production. The initial plan was to begin shooting in January 2026 and target a Sankranthi 2027 release. Now, January has already passed and Jai Hanuman’s shoot has not yet started. Reports suggest that discussions are still ongoing regarding production and financial matters.

With these delays, it now appears practically impossible for Jai Hanuman to release during Sankranthi 2027. Considering the scale of the project and the extensive post-production involved, the film is more likely to arrive in the second half of 2027 or face further delays if shooting does not commence soon.

Dil Raju Locks Director for Balakrishna

Till now, top producer Dil Raju has not made a film with Balakrishna. Recently, he secured Balakrishna’s dates and has now reportedly finalised the director for the project. Certainly, it will be an exciting combination.

Haneef Adeni, who made a strong impact with the highly violent Malayalam film Marco, is said to be directing this movie. Dil Raju had given an advance to Haneef long ago and initially planned a project with Ajith, but that combination did not work out.

The project has now come together with Balakrishna. After the Akhanda actor completes his film with Gopichand Malineni, this new film is expected to go on floors.

Dil Raju has made an interesting choice by selecting Malayalam director Haneef for the film with Balakrishna. Now we have to wait and see how the director will handle the mass image of the actor and deliver the film.

Fans’ overaction disturbs Ram Charan and Upasana’s Special Moment

Ram Charan and Upasana have been blessed with twins, a moment that should have been filled only with happiness and celebration for the family. But this joyful occasion was slightly overshadowed by the overboard behavior of some fans.

During Ram Charan’s hospital visit, fans crowded around him even as he was carrying his first child, Klin Kaara. Their actions shocked many, as basic safety, privacy, and personal space were completely ignored. A group of fans also blasted crackers at the premises of the hospital earlier.

There must be a limit to everything. Fans should not become a burden to the very person they admire. Sharing sensitive information like the babies’ gender on social media even before the delivery, posting unnecessary updates just to gain attention, overhyping personal moments, and turning a private family event into a public campaign is simply not right.

Whether these actions came from fan groups or from people close to PR circles, such behavior in the name of showing influence or reach can eventually harm the image of the star himself.

Chiranjeevi shares the happiest news for his family on social media

Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela have welcomed twins — a baby boy and a baby girl. The happy news was confirmed by Ram Charan’s father, Megastar Chiranjeevi, on X. He shared that both babies and Upasana are healthy and doing well.

Ram Charan Welfare Move: Free Health Insurance for Tollywood Dancers

Ram Charan has once again proved his generous nature by coming forward to provide free health insurance coverage to around 500 members of the Tollywood Dancers Association and their families. Fulfilling the promise he made on his birthday earlier, the RRR actor has recently approved the proposal for the distribution of health cards.

The actor took this decision with the intention of ensuring that dancers, who work tirelessly during film shoots, do not face financial difficulties in case of accidents or health issues. Through this initiative, comprehensive health insurance will be provided to each dancer’s family from Tollywood, and it is reported that Ram Charan is spending nearly ₹50 lakh for this noble cause.

Ram Charan’s Noble Initiative Wins Hearts

Following in the footsteps of his father, Megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan continues to uphold social responsibility and is personally overseeing this program along with his wife, Upasana. Despite being busy with big projects like Peddi, he has given priority to the welfare of cinema workers. Dancers’ associations and members of the film industry have expressed their happiness and appreciation for this gesture, praising Ram Charan as a true hero who has given medical security to 500 families.

Spirit, Varanasi Set New Trend

Surprises give a bigger kick to audiences than pre-release announcements. Mahesh Babu -Rajamouli’s Varanasi and Prabhas – Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit have done the same regarding promotions.

In Tollywood, there is usually a trend where multiple pre-release updates are shared for a single announcement. With this, team members hype the content heavily before its release. At the same time, leaks surface with minute details.

Because of all this, when the actual content is finally released, it often fails to surprise or stun the audience. Even if the content is decent, people start feeling that so much pre-hype was unnecessary, which eventually turns into negativity.

Recently, Spirit and Varanasi updates came as surprises, without any prior announcements. There were no leaks and no pre-updates. The announcements arrived suddenly and managed to surprise and impress the audience.

Audiences clearly like this kind of approach. The industry needs to change its promotional strategy according to the audience’s mindset, so that the content is received more positively.

Is Dhurandhar 2 Capable of Reaching KGF 2 Hype in Telugu?

The craze around Bollywood’s latest sensational blockbuster, Dhurandhar, is at a high level. The film recently arrived on OTT, and the surrounding hype boils down to one question: Is Dhurandhar 2 Capable of reaching KGF 2 Hype in Telugu?

As said above, Dhurandhar is receiving a strong and positive response from Telugu audiences after its OTT release, creating good buzz and excitement for the sequel.

Can the OTT response to Dhurandhar propel it to the same level of hype as KGF 2?

The content has connected well with the viewers, and there is evident interest among viewers in the next part. But matching the kind of mass reach and pre-release hype that KGF2 carried across all sections of the Telugu audience may be practically difficult for Dhurandhar 2.

Until now, KGF 2 stands as the only dubbed film in Telugu to collect over 100 Cr share, and it needs to be seen how close the sequel to Dhurandhar comes.

Not Sai Pallavi, Not Pooja Hegde: Sree Leela Bags Dhanush’s Next Film

There was strong buzz that either Sai Pallavi or Pooja Hegde would be cast opposite Dhanush in his 55th film, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy. But it is now officially confirmed that Sree Leela has secured the female lead role in the project.

Dhanush has teamed up with Amaran fame director Rajkumar Periasamy for this new film, tentatively titled D55, and the makers have officially onboarded Sree Leela as the leading lady, marking her first collaboration with the National Award-winning actor.

D55: Sree Leela joins the unit as the female lead, marking her first film with Dhanush

This development comes as a positive sign for Sree Leela, as she is now landing strong projects in Kollywood, especially during a phase when her journey in Tollywood has faced some challenges.

A big film like D56 could certainly play a key role in giving her career a significant boost going forward.
