Fans have been eagerly waiting for the grand reveal of Globetrotter (also known as SSMB29), the highly anticipated film starring Mahesh Babu and directed by SS Rajamouli. While the official launch is just days away, Rajamouli surprised everyone by releasing the first look of Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini, and no one expected such first look poster from the film.

Rajamouli shared the poster on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, catching fans off guard and igniting curiosity about the film’s storyline, and mentioned that Priyanka Chopra’s character, Mandakini, will have many layers, which fans believe could be a cryptic clue about the plot or the film’s deeper themes.

With this unexpected reveal, Rajamouli seems to be keeping fans guessing, creating buzz and confusion around the movie’s concept. Social media is already flooded with fan theories and speculations, but all will be revealed on November 15, when the makers are expected to officially launch the film and share more details.

Kantara magic in Suriya’s Karuppu

0

Suriya’s upcoming film, Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji, is yet to announce its official release date, but the makers are aiming for an early 2026 release. The film stars Trisha as the female lead and is set against a divine backdrop, with Suriya playing the role of a lawyer named Saravanan.

The latest update is that Suriya’s Karuppu will feature a climax sequence inspired by Kantara. The story revolves around the demigod Karuppasamy, who protects his people through Saravanan. In the climax, Suriya’s character is said to transform into Karuppasamy, delivering a powerful and emotional ending similar to Kantara’s impact.

To make the film even more gripping, the team has decided to shoot an additional action block, responding to the strong audience reaction to Kantara. Suriya has allotted a three-day call sheet starting November 15 for this new sequence, which is expected to raise the film’s scale and intensity.

Once this final schedule wraps up, the entire shoot will be completed, and the makers are likely to announce Karuppu’s release date soon.

Baahubali The Epic Fails to Cross the Magical Million Mark in America

0

Baahubali: The Epic definitely performed very well in its re-release, and it has collected more than 50 Cr gross worldwide, emerging as the biggest grosser for any re-released Indian film worldwide. 

The previous biggest re-release collections from Tollywood are just around 10 Cr, and Rajamouli’s masterpiece has done 5 times more business than that.

However, there were significant expectations prior to the release that the film would gross around 100 Cr, which it ultimately did not meet. Also, in North America, the trade’s expectations stand at a million dollars. 

The film did as per expectations but did not cross this magical mark. Despite being the biggest grosser in re-releases, Baahubali: The Epic collected around $930K, and it is almost the final collection for the film, which means it missed crossing the million-dollar club by a small margin.

Actor Dhanush showcased his incredible dedication on the sets of D54 (his upcoming film) in Ramanathapuram, shooting a two-day rain sequence despite suffering from a 104–105°F high fever. Relying solely on tablets and injections, he revealed his illness only after completing the shoot.

D54, directed by Vignesh Raja and produced by Ishari Ganesh, is currently in production. Dhanush reportedly didn’t want to disrupt the ongoing schedule or impact the budget due to his health condition, which has deeply impressed everyone on set.

Not just that, even in this condition, the actor has been actively participating in the promotions of Tere Ishk Mein, set to be released in theaters worldwide on November 28th. 

Dhanush is continuously working on multiple projects, releasing 2–3 films in a year, and the fans praise him for taking part in the film’s shoot despite suffering from a high fever.

Political Hurdles Trouble Jana Nayagan’s Business?

0

When film stars enter politics, their movies sometimes face hurdles due to political rivalries. Tamil actor Vijay, who recently launched his own political party and began openly criticizing the government, is now reportedly facing political issues with his upcoming film Jana Nayagan, which is also said to be his last film as a lead actor.

According to Tamil media reports, the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights of Jana Nayagan were sold for ₹100 crore to a distributor. However, the distributor has allegedly not paid the full amount and is now considering backing out of the deal. The reason cited is the political risk involved in investing heavily in a Vijay-starrer at this time.

Jana Nayagan faces the Political Heat

Industry buzz suggests that Jana Nayagan contains strong political references and punch dialogues, which could stir controversy and provoke rival reactions. This has reportedly made other distributors hesitant to buy the entire Tamil Nadu rights, with many now preferring to purchase individual area rights instead.

Meanwhile, KVN Productions, the film’s producer, is still looking to sell the complete TN rights to a single distributor. As of now, Jana Nayagan is facing political issues in its theatrical business, and it remains to be seen how these issues will be resolved.

Shocking update: Aamir Khan And Rajkumar Hirani Pause Their Third Film

0

Bollywood fans were thrilled when Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani announced their third collaboration as a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke. However, fans will be disappointed to learn that the project has now been shelved.

According to reports, the Aamir-Rajkumar Hirani film has been put on hold due to script issues. Both have decided not to move forward until they create a story with strong and universal appeal.

Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan reportedly met Dadasaheb Phalke’s family several times, and the family even gave official permission (NOC) for the project. However, the final version of the script did not satisfy the team.

Interestingly, before this, SS Rajamouli had also planned a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with NTR, not as a director, but as a supervisor with another filmmaker directing it. That project too was dropped when Aamir and Hirani began working on their version. Now, it remains to be seen whether Rajamouli will revive his plan or leave it aside.

Netflix Numbers Disappoint For OG

0

After receiving a decent response in theaters, Pawan Kalyan’s film OG started strong on Netflix with impressive viewership. However, it soon lost momentum and failed to maintain its initial success.

A movie like OG was expected to attract a wide audience on OTT platforms, especially since the makers announced it as a franchise film with both a prequel and sequels planned. Pawan Kalyan has officially confirmed that he will continue the OG franchise. For the franchise to gain a massive following, the film needed to perform strongly among audiences in other languages as well, but its performance on Netflix has been disappointing after the first week.

OG began streaming on Netflix on October 23rd. In its first week (October 23rd to 26th), it recorded 3.2 million views. In the second week (October 27th to November 2nd), the film gained 2.1 million views.

By the third week (November 3rd to 9th), viewership had dropped to less than 1 million, and the film was no longer listed in Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films. Altogether, OG has gathered around 6 million views on Netflix in three weeks, which disappoints fans and it is not a strong response for a film of this scale.

Titled Idli Kottu in Telugu, the movie started streaming on Netflix on October 29. In its first week (October 29 to November 2), it recorded 5.1 million views, ranking Top 2 globally, Top 1 in India, and Top 10 in several countries.

In the second week (November 3 to November 9), the film gained another 2.9 million views and secured the Top 4 position globally among non-English films, while continuing to hold the Top 1 spot in India.

Overall, Dhanush’s Idli Kadai has achieved record viewership on Netflix, crossing 8 million views by November 9. No one expected it to gather such huge views on OTT.
