Kaantha Trailer Is Impressive

Kaantha is a period drama featuring Dulquer Salmaan and Samuthirakani in key roles, with Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film’s trailer was released today, and it’s very impressive.

The teaser had already laid the groundwork, hinting at a fierce clash of egos between a guru and his disciple. In the story, Samuthirakani plays the mentor-director, while Dulquer Salmaan takes on the role of the ambitious actor.

The trailer dives straight into the drama. It introduces Shaantha, a horror film being made by Modern Pictures, directed by Ayya, and starring the legendary TK Mahadeva. But things take a sharp turn when Mahadeva, driven by personal motives linked to his mentor, takes over as the director.

Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha Trailer Raises Expectations

Meanwhile, Kumari (played by Bhagyashri Borse) is drawn to Mahadeva’s charm but continues to follow Ayya’s guidance, creating emotional tension. The plot thickens when a cop, played by Rana Daggubati, gets involved in the film’s production, adding more chaos to the already intense situation.

Kaantha’s trailer builds strong curiosity and promises high drama. Performances by Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, Rana Daggubati, and Ravindra Vijay look solid and engaging. The music by Jhanu Chanthar adds depth and perfectly sets the tone.

Backed by Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films, the film is produced by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri, and Jom Varghese. Kaantha is set to release in Telugu and Tamil on November 14, 2025.

Akhanda 2 Sets Record Price in Ceeded

It is widely known that Akhanda 2, coming with the combination of Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu, has gathered a solid craze among audiences and trade as well, which has made its set a record price in Ceeded. 

According to the reports, Akhanda 2’s Kurnool District rights were bagged by Dhanush Films for 6.12 Cr, and the Ceeded business ratio is 24 Cr, which is one of the biggest prices ever.

The combination of Ceeded Lion Balakrishna and Mass director Boyapati Srinu has unmatched power, and the film also registered the biggest price ever in senior heroes’ films.

Also, this price is on par with the tier 1 pan-India film range. The fans have been waiting for the film’s promotions, and the Akhanda sequel’s first single’s promo will be released tomorrow.

Only Father Mohanlal and Son Pranav Hit Hattrick 50 Cr Grossers

The legendary actor-star Mohanlal and his son, Pranav Mohanlal, have achieved a rare record by hitting a hat-trick of 50 Cr grossers in the Malayalam film industry, with Pranav also registering as a proper lead hero in Malayalam films. 

Mollywood is a difficult box office market. Normally, in other industries, each star has certain big numbers for their films, irrespective of the result. But the Malayalam industry does not have this tradition. Sometimes, even stars fail to achieve minimum numbers like 10 Cr or 20 Cr, and at the same time, they also deliver the industry’s biggest grossers. 

This explains why no one in Mollywood had achieved a hat-trick of 50 Cr grossers before this year; however, the father and son duo, Mohanlal and Pranav Mohanlal, have now accomplished this feat.

Mohanlal is the first hero to deliver a hat-trick of 50 Cr grossers in Mollywood with Empuraan, Thudarum, and Hridaya Pooravam this year.

Lal’s son, Pranav Mohanlal, matched his father’s record with Hridayam, Varshangalkku Shesham, and Dies Irae. Dies Irae was released last weekend and joined the 50 Cr club. The film also has high chances to enter the 100 Cr club.

Chinmayi Lashes Out At Netizens’ Abusive Behavior: Lodges Cyber Complaint

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada, known for speaking out on women’s rights, gave a powerful response to the toxic abuse faced by female celebrities/women online. She called out netizens who shamelessly target women, especially actresses, with vulgar comments and personal attacks.

The controversy began when a statement from a recent interview with Chinmayi’s husband, actor-director Rahul Ravindran, went viral. In it, Rahul said that it was his wife’s personal choice not to wear a Mangalsutra, and that he had encouraged her not to wear it. He also questioned why only women are expected to wear symbols of marriage, while men are not.

Chinmayi faces harsh trolls – Gives it back with her strong reply

This statement triggered a wave of backlash. While some users debated the topic respectfully, many others launched abusive attacks on both Rahul and Chinmayi, twisting the context and spreading hate.

A day later, Chinmayi responded publicly. She clarified that Rahul’s comment was made in a specific context and that the violent reactions from men online made her deeply concerned about the safety and dignity of women on social media.

The abuse didn’t stop there. Chinmayi faced another round of trolling, prompting her to host a Twitter Space, where she directly confronted those who had insulted her and her husband. She also made a strong point: those who laugh at or react with emojis to abusive comments are just as guilty as the abusers themselves.

Taking the matter seriously, Chinmayi filed a legal complaint with Hyderabad Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, tagging him online. He acknowledged her post and forwarded the complaint to the appropriate departments.

Chinmayi’s stand highlights a harsh truth: laws alone cannot fix the deep-rooted misogyny that fuels online abuse. Real change must come from within—from the mindset of those who believe they can degrade women without consequences.

Another Big Gamble by Rajinikanth – Will It Pay Off?

Another Big Gamble by Rajinikanth – Will It Pay Off?

With his retirement rumors doing the rounds for a few days, superstar Rajinikanth has announced a new film with director Sundar C, which is like a big gamble given the latter’s image. 

Whether a director delivers strong content or not, every director has their own set of audiences. Some filmmakers have a universal audience reach, while others are limited to specific markets. Heroes like Rajinikanth, who enjoy a massive fan base across all languages and regions, always need to collaborate with directors who can make films with pan-India and global appeal.

Rajinikanth recently took a risk by teaming up with Director Siva for Annaatthe (Peddanna). Siva’s market is primarily rooted in Tamil Nadu, and he does not carry a brand that appeals internationally or in other language markets. This was reflected clearly in the film’s initial buzz and openings.

Rajinikanth also appeared in a crucial cameo role in Lal Salaam, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth. Due to the director’s limitations, the film could not secure strong openings either.

Now, Rajinikanth is taking another bold risk, or a big gamble, by signing his next project with Sundar C. Even though the actor and director delivered a blockbuster earlier with Arunachalam, Sundar C’s recent films, despite being hits, have largely appealed only to the Tamil Nadu audience. For a Rajinikanth film, a universal appeal is crucial. If Sundar C continues his usual route, the film could become a major risk.

However, the positive side is that Kamal Haasan, who is producing the film, is also convinced of the script. So, there is definitely hope that the film might turn out to be a universal entertainer. Still, it remains to be seen how this risk plays out for Rajinikanth.

Fans Question Ravi Teja

Tollywood actor Ravi Teja, also known as “Mass Maharaja,” has been facing a tough phase in his career, with a string of box-office disappointments in recent years. His latest release, Mass Jathara, also failed to impress both critics and audiences, continuing his poor run at the box office.

What’s striking this time is that even his loyal fans, who have supported him through highs and lows, are now openly expressing their disappointment. A heartfelt open letter circulating online captures the frustration and pain of his fan base. It points out that Ravi Teja seems to be repeating the same mistakes, choosing weak scripts, and working on projects without evaluating the results of his previous films, which has put him in a tough phase.

Fans believe that the actor, known for his energetic performances and mass appeal, has lost touch with the kind of cinema that once made him a household name. They’re urging him to rethink his film choices, work with stronger directors, and focus on quality storytelling rather than rushed, formulaic projects.

The letter also highlights concerns over poor production values, weak on-screen chemistry, and a lack of proper promotions for his recent films. Despite the criticism, fans have made it clear that their words come from a place of love and admiration, and they still have hope that Ravi Teja will return stronger and deliver memorable performances once again.

At the end of the day, fans continue to stand by him, waiting for Ravi Teja, who once inspired them with his passion and powerful screen presence, to make a grand comeback.

Just One Statement: Allu Aravind Silences Bandla Ganesh

At the recent success meet of Little Hearts, producer Bandla Ganesh made some indirect and unnecessary comments that appeared to target senior producer Allu Aravind. The remarks sparked discussion, but Aravind responded with maturity during the press meet of Rashmika Mandanna’s The Girlfriend.

While speaking at the Little Hearts event, Bandla Ganesh said, “Only one person in a hundred crores is born as the son of a star comedian, the brother-in-law of a megastar, and the father of an iconic star.” Though he may have intended to talk about luck and destiny in the film industry, his tone came across as disrespectful.

Despite the comment, many in the industry recognize Allu Aravind for his own achievements. He has built a strong reputation through the quality of films he has produced and has played a key role in introducing many directors, producers, and actors to the Telugu film industry.

The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran and starring Rashmika Mandanna, is produced by Geetha Arts in collaboration with Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainments. During the film’s pre-release press meet, a journalist asked Aravind if he felt hurt by Bandla Ganesh’s comments. Aravind calmly replied that he holds a certain stature and doesn’t feel the need to respond to such comments.

With just that one dignified response, Allu Aravind earned praise from the public and netizens, who appreciated his maturity in handling the situation.
