Prabhas – Sujeeth Combination in Talks

After a gigantic success like the Baahubali series, Prabhas took a big challenge by signing a film with a small director, Sujeeth, for Saaho, and the latest news in the Telugu Film industry’s inside circles is that the combination is again in talks for a new film. 

If we look at the content level, Saaho did not work, but with the help of Prabhas stardom and craze, it did very well in Telugu and Hindi as well, collecting more than 400 Cr gross worldwide. 

After Saaho, Sujeeth took a bit of time to do another film and finally delivered a comeback with OG, which is Pawan Kalyan’s biggest and 2025’s biggest grosser for Tollywood.

After this, Sujeeth is working with Nani for his next film, which is said to be a crime comedy. At this time, it is being said that Sujeeth and Prabhas’s combination is in talks again. Hombale Films signed three films with Prabhas, and Prasanth Varma was set to direct one among them, but due to some reasons, the team is looking at Sujeeth as another option for the same film.

Currently, the discussions are in early stages, but if everything goes well from here, the Saaho combination will be back again under the Hombale Films banner.

Vaa Vaathiyaar Postponed: Film Pushed to 2026

Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar sees multiple release postponements this year due to financial hurdles, and the latest news is that the film’s theatrical release has been pushed to 2026. It looks like the team needs more time to clear the issues.

From the beginning, the film experienced many issues and finally announced 12th December as the release date. But, the film was postponed at the last minute, and the team sees Christamas as a release option.

But it looks like the hurdles for Vaa Vaathiyar are still not clear, and the team is moving to the 2026 release. It needs to be seen when the film will be released, as it has to deal with legal problems. The makers need to face the issue from the OTT platform as well. With this, Karthi did not see a theatrical release this year.

Winning the ticket to the finale gave him a major boost, and the family week episode turned out to be a turning point. His father’s heartfelt words deeply connected with the audience, further strengthening his support.

With growing popularity and strong public voting, Kalyan Padala emerged as Bigg Boss 9 Telugu winner, proving that determination and relatability can triumph over star power. His victory marks a historic moment for the Bigg Boss Telugu franchise, showing that commoners too can rise to the top.

Shock Exit in Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Finale: Contestant Takes Suitcase, Self-Eliminates

The grand finale episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is happening today, and a big twist is said to have happened in it. Sanjana finished in 5th place, while Emanuel ended up in 4th place. In a surprising twist, Demon Pavan accepted the suitcase offer of ₹15 lakhs and chose to self-eliminate. 

This turned out to be a smart move, as he had little chance of winning the title but still walked away with a cash prize. The ₹15 lakhs will be deducted from the winner’s prize of ₹50 lakhs.

Pavan’s strong performance as a contestant in the last two weeks helped him rise to 3rd position, and many viewers felt he carried the same winning attitude from the very first week.

With Pavan out with a big twist in the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 finale episode, the race for the title is now between Tanuja and Kalyan. The Bigg Boss team has kept the winner’s identity a closely guarded secret, making the finale more suspenseful than ever.

Sivakarthikeyan Approaches High Court ?

While the fans await the theatrical release of Parasakthi, the next film of Sivakarthikeyan, it is being reported that the actor has approached the Madras High Court to settle a payment dispute regarding his old movie. 

Tamil media buzz suggests that Sivakarthikeyan has moved the Madras High Court over an alleged payment dispute amounting to nearly ₹15 crore. Reports doing the rounds claim that the actor has accused producer Gnanavel Raja of failing to clear the remaining ₹4 crore remuneration for Mr. Local. 

Though a contract was reportedly signed in 2018 for a total payment of ₹15 crore, sources say the full amount was never settled even after the film’s release in 2019. Sivakarthikeyan is said to have received only 11 Cr for the film now and has not received the balance 4 Cr yet. An official confirmation from either side is still awaited.

Akhanda 2 Box Office: Numbers Above Expectations

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 faced an unexpected delay before its theatrical release, and it also received unanimous below-par or disappointing reviews, but still, the film is getting numbers at the box office above expectations. 

Normally, films that open with negative word of mouth (WOM) and poor reviews crash during the opening weekend itself. For such films to collect big numbers, strong stardom is required. This is especially difficult for senior heroes, which is why no senior hero film has ever crossed the ₹100 crore gross mark with negative WOM and reviews.

Akhanda 2 Box Office Performance Surprises Everyone

Akhanda 2, which was released after a postponement and with average buzz, opened to mixed reviews and below-par WOM, but is performing above expectations. Everyone expected the film to collapse during its first weekend and fail to post any numbers. While collections did drop and did not match business expectations, the film did not crash completely. Instead, it managed respectable numbers considering the feedback and even crossed the ₹100 crore gross club, becoming the first senior hero film to achieve this despite negative WOM. 

On its 10th day (second Sunday), the film recorded strong occupancies and even witnessed house full shows, something unexpected. With the Christmas and New Year holidays ahead, the film is likely to add more decent numbers.

That said, the movie missed a big opportunity. Looking at its collections, if Akhanda 2 had opened with positive WOM and reviews, it could have easily reached ₹250 crore gross in its full run. Instead, it is doing only half of that. Still, for the kind of WOM it received, the performance is above expectations. Initially, trade experts predicted the film would end its run at around ₹70–75 crore gross, but it has sustained far better than expected.

Avatar Fire And Ash 2 Days All India Collections

After a below-par opening day of 19 Cr nett in India (all areas included), Avatar: Fire and Ash did not make much jump on the second day as well, as the film’s word of mouth was just average and audiences did not go crazy for it as it was expected.

The grand film witnessed a 15% jump on day 2 and collected 22 Cr nett, with the total for 2 days nett being 41 Cr, which is equal to Avatar 2 (Avatar: The Way Of Water) opening day nett. In total, James Cameron’s film grossed 48 Cr in India over the course of two days.

Avatar: Fire and Ash continues the below-par trend, likely to gross around 200 Cr in India, compared to the previous installment’s 500 Cr. Meanwhile, Bollywood’s Dhurandhar is still performing exceptionally well in its third weekend, surpassing even Avatar 3’s opening weekend numbers.

Balakrishna Failed Bigger Than Chiranjeevi in Bollywood

Balakrishna Failed Bigger Than Chiranjeevi in Bollywood

Megastar Chiranjeevi attempted to score a big pan-India hit with Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019), but the film did not deliver the expected results. More recently, Balakrishna was expected to achieve better success with Akhanda 2, but his performance in the Hindi market turned out to be even weaker than Chiranjeevi’s.

Meanwhile, Tier-1 Telugu stars like Prabhas, Allu Arjun, NTR, and Ram Charan have already achieved massive numbers and strong success in Hindi. Next in line is Mahesh Babu, who is set for a huge launch with Varanasi, directed by Rajamouli. This generation of stars is steadily capturing the Bollywood market, while senior heroes like Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna continue to struggle.

Can Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna finally achieve their Bollywood dreams with Vishwambhara and NBK111?

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Godfather were released in Hindi but ended up as failures, though they at least managed double-digit gross collections. In contrast, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 failed to even cross ₹1 crore gross in Hindi markets, marking a bigger disappointment than Chiranjeevi.

Looking ahead, Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Vishwambhara and Balakrishna’s project with Gopichand Malineni are both targeting the Hindi audience once again. It remains to be seen whether they can finally achieve the results they have been aiming for.

Dhurandhar Breaks Chhaava Records, Emerges as Biggest Bollywood Grosser of the Year

Dhurandhar is proving unstoppable at the box office as it creates new records with each passing day. After setting an all-time record in its second week, the film has started its third weekend on another historic note. Collecting over ₹100 crore gross in India alone during the third weekend has stunned everyone, and even more remarkable is that the film’s third weekend worldwide collections are matching its first weekend numbers, which is truly extraordinary.

Today, Dhurandhar has officially joined the ₹800 crore worldwide gross club, surpassing Chhaava to become the biggest Bollywood grosser of the year. In the next 2–3 days, it is expected to cross the ₹850 crore mark of Kantara Chapter 1 and emerge as the No.1 grosser of the year.

Looking ahead, the film is now targeting the ₹1000 crore worldwide milestone. With its unstoppable long run at the box office, Dhurandhar is also on track to beat the Hindi nett record of Pushpa 2 (₹735 crore+). With the added boost of the Christmas and New Year holidays, trade experts believe that the film will comfortably break both records at its current pace.

Akhanda 2: Pawan Kalyan for Balakrishna

Despite receiving below-par reviews and recording underwhelming collections, the Akhanda 2 team is continuing with aggressive promotions, and the reports suggest that Pawan Kalyan will soon join the team for a major event.

The makers are reportedly planning a grand success meet on 24th December in Kurnool, with Pawan Kalyan as the chief guest. The timing is aimed at attracting large crowds during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

It is well known that Pawan Kalyan stands strongly for Sanathana Dharma, and the team has invited him to highlight that connection. They also believe that having Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan on the same stage will create a powerful moment and give the film’s promotions a massive boost.

The team is hopeful that these efforts will help Akhanda 2 see a big jump in collections during the holiday weekends.
