Thimmarajupalli TV Streams on Aha OTT from May 15

After a disappointing theatrical run, Thimmarajupalli TV is all set for its Aha OTT premiere. The rural comedy entertainer, which released on April 17, will start streaming from May 15, 2026, bringing the heartwarming village story to digital audiences.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Passion Project

What makes Thimmarajupalli TV special is young actor Kiran Abbavaram‘s involvement as producer. The actor, riding high on back-to-back successes, turned producer to introduce fresh talent through this project. Made on a modest budget, the film received positive feedback for its sincere attempt at capturing rural life, even though it struggled at the box office.

Directed by V. Muniraj, Thimmarajupalli TV features Sai Tej, Veda Jalandhar, and Pradeep Kotte in key roles. The teaser and posters created a positive buzz before release, highlighting the film’s nostalgic village setting.

The Story Behind Thimmarajupalli TV

Set in a remote village in 1996, the film tells the story of a community brought together by a single television. When the TV suddenly disappears, chaos and suspicion grip the village. As the search intensifies, one man gets entangled in the mystery, leading to unexpected consequences. The film explores themes of community, entertainment, and the social fabric of rural India during the pre-digital era.

Aha OTT Release Details

Aha has officially acquired the digital streaming rights of Thimmarajupalli TV. The platform announced the May 15 premiere with a new poster on social media, confirming the OTT debut date.

Interestingly, Aha Gold subscribers will get exclusive early access to the film—24 hours before the official streaming premiere. This gives premium members a chance to watch Thimmarajupalli TV from May 14 itself.

For audiences who missed the theatrical release or want to revisit this rural comedy drama, the Aha OTT release offers a perfect opportunity to experience the film from home.

Mrunal Thakur Frontrunner for Yellamma Female Lead

Actress Mrunal Thakur is reportedly the frontrunner to play the female lead in Yellamma, the ambitious project marking music composer Devi Sri Prasad’s acting debut. The film, directed by Venu Yeldandi, has been creating significant buzz in Tollywood, and the latest casting update has reignited excitement among movie lovers.

Yellamma’s Casting Journey

The search for Yellamma’s leading lady has been an eventful one. Actresses Sai Pallavi and Keerthy Suresh were earlier said to be almost finalized for the role at different stages of the project’s development. However, both eventually stepped away, leaving the makers on a prolonged hunt for the perfect choice.

According to reports, Mrunal Thakur has now emerged as the top contender for this crucial role. The character reportedly carries major importance in the narrative, which explains why the filmmakers have been taking their time to lock the right actress.

DSP’s Big Acting Debut

What makes Yellamma particularly intriguing is celebrated music composer Devi Sri Prasad stepping into the lead role. Known for chartbuster albums like Pushpa and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, DSP will be seen in a completely new avatar as an actor in this pan-Indian project.

The film is helmed by Venu Yeldandi, who earlier directed the critically acclaimed Balagam. Noted producer Dil Raju is presenting the project under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, signaling strong production backing.

Mrunal’s Growing Telugu Presence

Mrunal Thakur has already established herself in Telugu cinema with impressive performances in Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna. Known for bringing emotional depth and elegance to her characters, she appears to be a natural fit for a role that demands both star power and strong acting credentials.

The actress also has other exciting projects lined up, including a period film with Dhanush, further cementing her presence across South Indian cinema.

With a unique combination of fresh casting choices, a director known for emotional storytelling, and DSP’s highly anticipated acting debut, Yellamma is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited projects in Telugu cinema.

Kajal Aggarwal Confirmed for Third Film with Balakrishna

Kajal Aggarwal is all set to collaborate with Nandamuri Balakrishna for the third time, marking a significant milestone in their on-screen partnership. The actress, who recently impressed audiences in Bhagavanth Kesari, has been confirmed as the female lead for two upcoming Balakrishna projects.

From Bhagavanth Kesari to NBK 111

Kajal first paired with Balakrishna in Bhagavanth Kesari, which emerged as a commercial success. Now, she has been announced as the lead actress for NBK 111, directed by Gopichand Malineni. The project initially announced Nayanthara as the female lead, but latest reports suggest that Kajal has replaced the Lady Superstar in this high-profile collaboration.

The NBK 111 announcement has generated significant buzz among fans, especially given the successful track record of the Balakrishna-Kajal pairing. The film marks their second collaboration and reunites Kajal with one of Tollywood’s most bankable stars.

Third Time with Koratala Siva’s Film

Balakrishna has also signed his next film with acclaimed director Koratala Siva, and the project has been officially announced. For this film as well, Koratala Siva is reportedly considering Kajal for the lead heroine role, which would mark the Kajal Balakrishna third time pairing on screen.

If finalized, this collaboration would cement Kajal’s position as Balakrishna’s preferred co-star for his upcoming lineup. The actress has proven her versatility across multiple genres, and her chemistry with the veteran actor has resonated well with audiences.

With Balakrishna's packed slate of exciting projects ahead, the Kajal-Balakrishna combination is set to dominate Tollywood screens in the coming months.

Vijay’s TVK to Move Supreme Court Over Governor Delay

The Governor has not yet invited Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to form the government. The latest reports suggest that the party is planning to move to the Supreme Court seeking support to form the new government. This comes after the Governor reportedly did not respond to their request.

Vijay had requested the Governor to grant permission to form the government and asked for two weeks’ time. He was expecting a positive response and had even planned the CM oath-taking ceremony for today.

Governor Seeks MLA List First

However, there has been no response from the Governor to the TVK Party’s request yet, and the Governor’s office has reportedly asked the party to first submit the list of 118 supporting MLAs before proceeding.

With this development, Vijay is now planning to approach the Supreme Court. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam stands as the single biggest party with the highest majority in Tamil Nadu elections, but it has to wait to form the government.

Tamil Nadu Political Twist as Vijay’s Oath Cancelled

A major Tamil Nadu political twist has emerged just hours before Vijay’s scheduled swearing-in as Chief Minister, throwing the state into unprecedented political uncertainty. The actor-turned-politician, who led his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to become the single-largest party, now faces a crucial Friday deadline to prove majority support in the Assembly.

Governor Vishnu Dev Varma has directed TVK to submit letters of support from 118 MLAs — the required majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly — by Friday. If TVK fails to meet this requirement, the Governor is reportedly considering keeping the Assembly under suspended animation for six months. During this period, other political combinations could emerge, with both DMK and AIADMK potentially exploring alternative government formations.

TVK Falls Short of Magic Figure

TVK, under Vijay’s leadership, secured 108 seats in the recent Tamil Nadu elections. The party emerged as the single-largest but fell 10 seats short of the 118-seat majority mark. Congress, which won 5 seats, was initially expected to extend support, but the political situation has become increasingly uncertain.

TVK108Single-largest party

Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled, adding to the political drama unfolding in Tamil Nadu.

Governor Stands Firm on Majority Proof

TVK leader Aadhav Arjuna met Governor Vishnu Dev Varma at Raj Bhavan, requesting an opportunity to form the government. However, the Governor insisted that TVK must first demonstrate majority support before being invited to take oath.

TVK leaders proposed proving their strength on the Assembly floor after the swearing-in ceremony, but the Governor was not convinced by this approach. Aadhav Arjuna left Raj Bhavan without any official confirmation, leaving the government formation process in limbo.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed political buzz suggests possible discussions between DMK and AIADMK regarding a potential alternative alliance. If TVK fails to prove its numbers by Friday, both traditional parties may explore options to form the government, marking yet another dramatic turn in Tamil Nadu politics.

This development comes at a critical juncture for Vijay, who transitioned from cinema to full-time politics with TVK as his political vehicle. The coming days will determine whether the actor-turned-politician can overcome this challenge and take oath as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister.

Avinash Kolla on Peddi: 24 Sets, Year of Prep, Emotional Story

Production designer Avinash Kolla shared that after hearing the story of Peddi from director Buchi Babu Sana, he was emotionally shaken for nearly 20 minutes. The emotional depth of the script had such a strong impact that Kolla called it the most exciting project he has heard in his 10-year career.

Recreating 1970s Vizianagaram: 24 Major Sets

Avinash revealed that Peddi is set in the 1970s–80s. The team recreated the entire Vizianagaram backdrop from scratch, including streets, a clock tower, rural locations, wrestling arenas, cricket grounds, and even a sugar factory.

Around 24 major sets and nearly 60–70 setups were created. All were designed to look completely natural so audiences would not realize they were sets. The production designer said the team took extreme care with every detail because of the story’s emotional strength.

Over a Year of Pre-Production

The movie had over a year of pre-production work, with every set carefully planned using miniatures. Most scenes were shot in open grounds using natural lighting to maintain authenticity.

Avinash Kolla also mentioned a specially designed underground wrestling setup and a challenging hill-station village set built in Hyderabad.

Ram Charan’s Dedication Despite Injury

Speaking about Ram Charan, Avinash praised the actor for appreciating every set. He revealed that Charan returned to shooting quickly even after getting injured during a wrestling action sequence to avoid delays in the production schedule.

An Emotional Cinematic Experience

Overall, Avinash Kolla described Peddi as a unique emotional film that will leave audiences teary-eyed by the end. He added that the story’s emotional power is the reason why Sukumar recently said Ram Charan’s performance in the film could surpass Rangasthalam.

The film, which has been postponed from its original April 30 release to June 2026, continues to generate strong anticipation among audiences and trade circles.

Maa Inti Bangaram Postponed to June 19, 2026

Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s highly anticipated film Maa Inti Bangaram has been postponed, Tralala Moving Pictures officially announced today. The Maa Inti Bangaram release date will now be June 19, 2026, moving from its earlier date of May 15.

Why Was the Release Date Postponed?

According to reports, the makers decided to postpone the film to avoid a box-office clash during the IPL season. Regional media outlets have confirmed the new Maa Inti Bangaram release date following the production house’s official announcement.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for Samantha‘s strong comeback to Telugu cinema, and Maa Inti Bangaram is one of her most anticipated projects this year.

The decision comes as a surprise to many, as the production house had earlier confirmed May 15 as the locked release date for the worldwide theatrical release, despite other films postponing their releases during the busy summer season.

About Maa Inti Bangaram

The film is directed by Nandini Reddy and based on a story by Samantha‘s husband Raj Nidimoru. Maa Inti Bangaram is said to be a compelling blend of action and family entertainment, marking a significant project in Samantha‘s career.

Although the makers had locked May 15 earlier, there had been very little promotional activity from the team as the date approached, sparking rumors about a possible postponement. Those rumors have now turned out to be true, with the Maa Inti Bangaram release date officially pushed to June 19.

The film also stars Sathyaraj and Sreemukhi in key roles, while music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan. Interestingly, Samantha herself is producing the film under Tralala Moving Pictures, making Maa Inti Bangaram even more special for her career.

An official detailed announcement regarding the new release plan and promotional schedule is expected very soon.

AP Exhibitors Seek 20% Share in Hiked Ticket Prices

The ongoing discussions around ticket price hikes in Andhra Pradesh have taken a new turn, with exhibitors now demanding a share of the additional revenue. A section of exhibitors in the state has approached Andhra Pradesh Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh with a key proposal that could reshape the revenue-sharing model in the state’s cinema industry.

Exhibitors Demand 20% Share from Hiked Prices

According to reports, Andhra Pradesh Exhibitors are seeking nearly 20% share from the increased ticket rates. The proposal, submitted to Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh, aims to allocate a portion of the hiked ticket revenue to theatre owners to support the functioning and maintenance of cinema halls across the state.

Exhibitors have explained that this share is crucial to offset rising operational expenses that are putting heavy financial pressure on theatre owners statewide.

Rising Operational Costs Strain Theatre Owners

The request comes at a time when exhibitors are facing mounting operational challenges. Rising costs include electricity bills, AC maintenance charges, staff salaries, and general theatre upkeep expenses.

Reports suggest that multiplexes are bearing a particularly high financial burden. Monthly AC electricity bills alone are reaching around ₹15 lakh in some multiplexes across Andhra Pradesh, while several single-screen theatres are also struggling with increasing maintenance expenses.

The financial strain has made it difficult for theatre owners to maintain quality infrastructure and continue offering optimal cinematic experiences to audiences.

Request Forwarded to Chief Minister

Exhibitors have requested Minister Kandula Durgesh to discuss the matter with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and consider a favorable decision that would benefit theatre owners across the state.

The development has become a major talking point in the Telugu film industry. Exhibitors believe that better revenue sharing could help theatres survive the current financial pressures and ensure the long-term sustainability of cinema halls in Andhra Pradesh.

Industry observers suggest that the government’s response to this proposal could set an important precedent for theatre operations and ticket pricing policies in the state.
