Not A Single Song, Just Silence, Aadarsha Kutumbam’s Countdown Is Starting To Worry Fans

0

With less than two weeks to go for the announced release date, Aadarsha Kutumbam is still maintaining October 2 as its release date. But even with the teaser already out, not a single song from the film has been released yet, and that gap is starting to worry fans.

Producer Naga Vamsi had earlier dismissed postponement rumours directly, promising fans that the film’s teaser would arrive early, followed by the first song in the second week after. The teaser did release on September 12 as promised. The first song, however, is still nowhere to be seen, even as the release date edges closer.

This is genuinely disappointing from the team. Venkatesh and Trivikram is a combination audiences have been eagerly awaiting for a long time, and letting that anticipation sit without any fresh promotional push, no song, no fresh updates, risks letting the buzz cool off right when it should be building toward its peak. For a first time pairing this big, this kind of gap in the promotional calendar is genuinely unexpected.

With the film yet to officially confirm any change in its release date, and the promised song still missing, fans are now simply waiting to see whether the team accelerates promotions sharply in the coming days, or whether this silence is quietly hinting at something more.

Raaka Glimpse Silence, Fans Await September 21

0

Sun Pictures had given fans an update on Raaka with the mysterious “37” poster and the words “next global triumph.” Following that, at an event, director Cibi Chakravarthi confirmed that the Raaka glimpse is arriving, calling the visuals even bigger than Avatar and promising fans will be stunned on September 21. Everyone was thrilled that visuals from Raaka were finally on the way.

The Silence Nobody Expected

The surprising part is what’s happened since. Sun Pictures and the producers have gone quiet for the past two days, with no fresh update of any kind. They are yet to confirm the glimpse’s release even now, with no time or exact date mentioned anywhere.

Fans have been continuously refreshing the makers’ social media handles, hoping for even a small confirmation, but nothing has come through so far. With September 21 already here, it now remains to be seen whether the team drops the glimpse directly without further warning, or holds it back and surprises, or tests, audiences even further.

Krishnudu Bigg Boss Telugu 10 Remuneration And Elimination Reason

0

Krishnudu’s stint on Bigg Boss Telugu 10 has come to an end after just two weeks, and with it, his total earnings from the show. His remuneration was fixed at ₹2 lakhs per week, and having stayed exactly two weeks before his elimination, his total payout from the show stands at ₹4 lakhs.

Why He Was Voted Out So Early

The reason behind Krishnudu’s early exit comes down to his time inside the house itself. He remained largely inactive throughout his stay, not taking part in tasks or entertainment segments, and staying distant from interactions with the other contestants. This lack of visibility ended up costing him with the voting audience, who had little reason to keep backing him.

With minimal screen presence and almost no engagement in the house dynamics, Krishnudu ended up with the least votes among this week’s nominees, and was eliminated as a result.

Nani Drops An Update On Chiru-Odela Project

0

Nani has dropped an important update on the much-awaited Chiranjeevi-Srikanth Odela project, revealing that the film has hit a roadblock for now. The project, which generated significant buzz after its announcement, was expected to bring Chiranjeevi together with the Dasara and The Paradise director. Nani, who is associated with the project as a producer, has now confirmed that the film will not move forward in the immediate future.

Chiru-Odela Film Put On Hold

The update comes as a disappointment for fans who have been eagerly waiting to see what the combination of Chiranjeevi and Srikanth Odela would deliver. While the exact reasons behind the delay have not been revealed in detail, the latest development indicates that the project’s plans have taken a back seat. The film had been one of the most intriguing upcoming collaborations in Telugu cinema.

Srikanth Odela’s Next Move

Despite the roadblock, the Chiranjeevi project is not necessarily shelved. Srikanth Odela has previously indicated that he intends to take a break after completing The Paradise before moving ahead with his next project. For now, the director’s focus remains on The Paradise, starring Nani and Kayadu Lohar. Fans will have to wait for further clarity on when the highly anticipated Chiranjeevi-Odela collaboration will finally take shape.

Nani’s The Paradise Pre-Release Event Set for September 21

0

Nani’s The Paradise is entering its final promotional phase ahead of the September 24 release, and the next few days will be crucial for building buzz. The grand The Paradise pre release event is scheduled for September 21 in Hyderabad, with Chiranjeevi expected to grace the occasion as chief guest. The film has already secured an ‘A’ certificate from the CBFC, and with ticket pricing approvals pending and paid premieres lined up for September 23, this is shaping up to be the busiest stretch of the campaign.

Chiranjeevi to Attend Pre Release Event

The September 21 pre release event in Hyderabad is being planned as a grand affair, with Chiranjeevi confirmed to attend as the chief guest. His presence is expected to boost the event’s visibility significantly. The team has been tight-lipped about other guests and the event format, but with the film skipping a traditional trailer release, all eyes are on what new content might be unveiled. Reports suggest fresh promotional material, including a possible new glimpse or song, could be released during this window.

A Certificate and Paid Premieres Confirmed

The Paradise received an ‘A’ certificate from the CBFC, confirming the film’s mature content rating. The makers are now focused on securing the official ticket price hike GO from the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments. Once those approvals are in place, advance bookings are expected to open, particularly for the paid premieres scheduled for September 23—one day before the confirmed September 24 theatrical release.

Final Promotional Push Begins

With just four days until release, the September 21 event marks the beginning of the final promotional blitz. The combination of Chiranjeevi’s presence, potential new content reveals, ticket pricing decisions, and the paid premieres will determine the opening momentum. Nani and director Srikanth Odela are banking on this concentrated push to maximize buzz, especially after the unconventional decision to skip the trailer. The pre release event could be the defining moment that sets the tone for the film’s box office debut.

Resident Evil Opens Strong With ₹6.93 Cr In India

0

Resident Evil is a survival-horror/action film and a fresh reinvention of Capcom’s iconic video-game franchise, directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) and written by Cregger and Shay Hatten. The film stars Austin Abrams as Bryan, alongside Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser. Rather than continuing the earlier Milla Jovovich-led film series, this is an all-new story that follows Bryan, a medical courier who becomes caught in a terrifying outbreak and is forced into a desperate fight for survival as chaos engulfs the city. The film hit theatres on September 18, 2026, with Sony and Constantin Film backing the reboot.

Record-Breaking North American Opening

Resident Evil generated considerable expectations among horror and franchise fans, with Cregger’s previous work on Barbarian adding to the anticipation. The film received strong early critical and audience response. TheWrap reported a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score ahead of release, describing the reception as the strongest yet for a Resident Evil film.

That enthusiasm translated into box office success. The movie collected $8.8 million from Thursday previews before opening day. It went on to record a $26.3 million domestic opening day, setting a new franchise record and putting the film on course for a projected $53–55 million domestic opening weekend, with industry estimates pointing towards a possible $60 million-plus debut.

Resident Evil India Box Office Collection

In India, Resident Evil opened to a solid start. The film collected ₹2.60 crore net on Day 1 and grew to ₹3.20 crore net on Saturday, showing positive momentum through the weekend.

DayIndia NetIndia Gross
Day 1 (Friday)₹2.60 Cr—
Day 2 (Saturday)₹3.20 Cr—
Total (2 Days)₹5.80 Cr₹6.93 Cr

Early Sunday figures were still developing at the time of reporting, with the India net standing at approximately ₹5.84 crore. The film’s horror-action blend and strong franchise recognition helped drive opening weekend footfalls across major cities.

Worldwide Performance Still Developing

Final international figures are still developing, with major box-office databases currently showing only the reported domestic haul rather than a complete worldwide tally. The Numbers currently lists $26.3 million worldwide, corresponding to the reported domestic figure, while overseas grosses are yet to be populated in its database. The film’s performance across international markets will determine whether this Resident Evil reboot can establish a new benchmark for the franchise globally.

Rashmika Mandanna’s Mysaa Teaser Is Out, And It’s Unlike Anything She’s Done Before

0

The new teaser for Mysaa, Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming action thriller, is out, and it confirms the film’s worldwide theatrical release date as November 27, 2026.

The teaser opens on a quiet, devastating note, a silhouette against a burning sunset, with the lines “I’ve given up, and I’ve lost” setting an unexpectedly vulnerable tone before the film shifts into its high intensity action mode. Set against the culturally rich backdrop of the Gond tribes, Rashmika plays a character named Mysaa Meetram, described in the teaser as “the bloody weapon who decides the war.”

Amid the fire, chases and brutal fight sequences, the teaser reveals an emotional anchor, a promise to a father. The line “I’ll conquer even death and return to you, Dad” gives the action a clear emotional stake, suggesting the film’s core isn’t just spectacle but a deeply personal fight

Mysaa is written and directed by Rawindra Pulle, known for the 2021 Telugu film Ardha Shathabdham, and produced by Ajay-Anil Sayyapureddy and Veerasai Gopa under Unformula Films. The action is designed by Andy Long of Kalki 2898 AD fame along with Kecha Khamphakdee, with Shreyaas Krishna, who shot Suriya’s Retro, behind the camera, and music composed by Jakes Bejoy. The film also stars Eshwari Rao, Guru Somasundaram, Rahul Ravindran, Samuthirakani and Rao Ramesh, and releases simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

Mysaa is being positioned as India’s first female-led pan-India film, a significant marker for Rashmika’s career

Kiran Abbavaram Clashing With Nagarjuna And Balakrishna

0

Nagarjuna’s landmark film King100 has been locked for a Christmas release on December 24, and Balakrishna’s action film Dada has also been announced for the very same date. Both films already have their teasers out, and the anticipation was building even before the two films ended up sharing a release date, a clash that is now a major talking point on its own.

A Third Name Enters The Race

Into this mix comes Kiran Abbavaram, the young actor who has seen strong recent success with Chennai Love Story. He is reportedly set to bring his next film, Reality, into the same Christmas release window, with an official announcement expected to arrive very soon. Notably, Kiran Abbavaram isn’t just acting in Reality, he is also making his directorial debut with the film.

This wouldn’t be the first time Kiran Abbavaram has chosen to release into a crowded date rather than sidestep it. He has done this before with films like KA and K Ramp, both of which released amid direct competition and went on to become among the biggest hits of his career, suggesting he sees a crowded release date as an opportunity rather than a risk.

Nani Did 36-Hour Shoots With No Body Double, And He Says That’s Exactly Why The Paradise Was Worth The Wait

0

Speaking at The Paradise promotions, Nani addressed the film’s journey to release, saying that the delay of a film does not affect a career as long as a quality product is delivered in the end, citing Sukumar’s Pushpa as an example of a filmmaker who took his time and was rewarded for it.

The comment isn’t just theory for Nani. The Paradise itself was postponed twice, first pushed from its original March 26 date to August 21 to avoid a crowded clash window, and then shifted again to its current September 24 release. Speaking about how demanding the project has been, Nani revealed hours of makeup, heavy braids, injuries and even 36 hour continuous shoots, and said he performed his own action and risky shots throughout without using a body double.

Praise For Srikanth Odela And The Team

Nani praised director Srikanth Odela’s radical vision, revealing that episodes 1 and 2 are among his personal favourite parts of the film and could leave audiences shocked by their intensity. He said Odela was never focused on box office numbers while shooting, but on creating moments that would make theatres erupt. He also called Anirudh Ravichander’s background score the best of his career, saying it holds the audience from beginning to end. On the cast, he described Mohan Babu’s character as extremely brutal and negative, while praising Sonali Kulkarni for enduring equally challenging shoot conditions.

What He Wants Audiences To Take Home

Nani believes audiences will enjoy the fights, songs and mass elements, but will ultimately carry the mother son emotion home with them, with the film potentially staying in their minds for days after watching it.

Nani also addressed his own approach to his career, saying he isn’t interested in star tags or box office labels. His goal, he said, is to build a filmography he can proudly show his children and Telugu audiences in the future. He added that even though his mother dislikes him doing violent films, The Paradise represents exactly the kind of distinctive and ambitious cinema he wants to be part of.
