Yash & KVN Production Take Kannada Cinema Global with Toxic

Indian cinema is on the rise, proving it can stand alongside world cinema. To truly go global, a film needs the perfect mix of storytelling, vision, and execution. Rocking Star Yash and KVN Productions have joined forces to achieve this with their upcoming film, Toxic. After elevating Kannada cinema to Pan-India success, Yash now sets his sights on the global stage.

Recognizing the challenge, KVN Productions handpicked a compelling story and assembled an internationally acclaimed team to bring this vision to life. As a result, Toxic becomes the first Kannada film shot simultaneously in English and Kannada.

Acclaimed director Geetu Mohandas, known for her award-winning work at Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals, designed Toxic to resonate with both Kannada and global audiences. She emphasized that the film maintains its Kannada roots while seamlessly appealing to international viewers. KVN Productions is leaving no stone unturned, pushing creative and technical boundaries.

With extensive pre-production since August 2024, Toxic is progressing at a brisk pace. The makers are confident that this isn’t just a film — it’s a movement that will redefine Indian cinema for generations to come.

With KGF, Yash took Kannada cinema to the pan-India level and established himself as a pan-India star. Now, with Toxic, he aims to conquer global markets. Yash is also involved in the writing process. The film is likely to release next year in all Indian languages, English, and several international languages

Salaar 2 and Kalki 2898 AD 2 can wait – Prabhas signs a new film

Tollywood Actor Prabhas and Director Prasanth Varma collaborated for a film long back and this film was also expected to go on sets a few years later. But it is now learned that this film is currently being considered to be taken up sooner. This came as a big surprise for the fans and audience.

Prabhas is busy with his current ventures, The Raja Saab and untitled film directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. He has also lined up Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. As per plans, the actual plan is to join the shoot of Salaar 2 and Kalki 2898 AD 2. But as Director Prashanth Neel has begun the shoot of his NTRNeel, the plan has changed for Prabhas. NTRNeel will at least take a year for its shoot and the pre-production work for Salaar 2 will also follow up.

So, most likely, Salaar 2 will go on sets in the 2nd half of 2026 and Kalki 2898 AD 2 also will be taken up next. Director of Kalki 2898 AD, Nag Ashwin is said to work on a female oriented subject in this meantime and discussions have also started as per the buzz.

Prabhas will have time from this year’s end or in the early 2026 and may give dates for Prasanth Varma’s film. Currently, Prasanth Varma has two films in the line up which are the debut film of Mokshagna which has already been announced and the second will be Jai Hanuman starring Rishab Shetty whose first look was already out. So, one of these two films may face a delay for Prasanth Varma to finish off Prabhas’ film.

The Plan and the fixed line up:

The work for film with Prabhas has already begun with look test scheduled for tomorrow. The team is likely to announce all the details soon. The film is also produced by Hombale Films. It is now speculated that this film was the one that was planned with Ranveer Singh which had been shelved then. This is said to be a big project involving fantasy genre. So, if this taken up, Prabhas’ line up will be The Raja Saab, Hanu Raghavapudi directorial, Prasanth Varma directorial, Salaar 2 and Kalki 2898 AD 2.

Why Blame Sandeep Vanga, Not Ranbir Kapoor?

Why Blame Sandeep Vanga, Not Ranbir Kapoor?

Sandeep Vanga faced criticism from Bollywood media circles along with the industry people for Kabir Singh and the same response went to the next level with his next film, Animal. Instead of this criticism, both movies ended up as massive blockbusters as audiences liked those films. The recent interview of Vanga sparked the debate against targeted hatred against him. Netizens also say that why blame Sandeep Vanga, not Ranbir Kapoor?

In a recent interview, Vanga raised a point that Hindi film industry people and media criticized him but not the lead actor of the film, Ranbir Kapoor as they do not want to break the relation with Ranbir.

Sandeep Vanga points out the Hypocrisy of Bollywood

Animal, an action-drama by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, thrived in 2024 even with negative reactions as a section of audiences/critics called it a violent and misogynistic movie. During his conversation with Komal Nahata in an interview, the filmmaker revealed that critics targeted his film but lauded Ranbir Kapoor, prompting him to reflect on industry biases. Netizens also say that why blame Sandeep Vanga, not Ranbir Kapoor?

“One thing I’ll tell you—film-related people who criticised Animal very badly, all of them said, ‘But Ranbir toh todd diya (Ranbir smashed it).’ See, I am not jealous of Ranbir, but I don’t understand the disparity. What I understood was that they wanted to work with Ranbir. Kyunki agar Ranbir ko bolenge toh… (Because if they say something to Ranbir then…) Obviously, it’s a different thing to comment on a star. Mere par comment marna asaan hai because I am new to this place (It’s easy to comment on me). A filmmaker makes a film every 2-3 years, but an actor appears in films five times a year. So jinke saath kaam zyada hai unke baare mein kuch bolenge nahi (They won’t say anything about the ones they work with more often).”

Animal succeeded at the box office, making over ₹900 crore despite heavy criticism from a section of Bollywood. Right now, Sandeep Reddy Vanga has two projects: Spirit featuring Prabhas and Animal 2 starring Ranbir Kapoor.

Mazaka Movie Review: An Engaging Entertainer with a Few Flaws

Movie Name: Mazaka
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Sundeep Kishan, Rao Ramesh, Ritu Varma, Anshu, Murali Sharma, Sreenivas Reddy and others
Director: Trinadharao Nakkina
Produced By: Razesh Danda
Release Date: 26th February 2025

Sundeep Kishan’s Mazaka releases in theaters worldwide today. Trinadharao Nakkina directed the film, and it features Rao Ramesh, Ritu Varma, and Anshu in key roles. The film also had paid premieres last night and received positive responses. Let’s check out the full version of Mazaka Movie Review.

Story:

Venkataramana (Rao Ramesh) and Krishna ( Sundeep Kishan) are father and son. Ramana’s wife dies giving birth to Krishna, leaving them longing for a woman’s presence and a happy family life. To help with his son’s marriage, Ramana plans to remarry. Krishna loves Meera (Ritu Varma) while Ramana pursues Yashoda (Anshu). The story follows how the couples unite and the challenges they face in their marriages.

Performances:

Sundeep Kishan and Rao Ramesh shine as father and son, boosting the comedy with their great chemistry. Ritu Varma and Anshu were okay. Murali Sharma’s character had a humorous touch, and he excelled in it. Sreenivas Reddy, Raghu Babu, and Hyper Aadi deliver some laughs.

Analysis:

Trinadharao Nakkina focuses on making entertaining films with simple stories. Mazaka is also the same. The director took an interesting plot of Father — Son duo falling in love and the proceedings around their actions. Almost every scene is aimed at providing comedy. The first half begins humorously, and while the story is predictable, it has some funny moments. Some scenes with Rao Ramesh feel silly, but the interval episode works well. 

An exciting conflict arises between Ritu Varma and Anshu in the second half, yet the subsequent episodes lack excitement. The Anakapalli episode and later events fail to connect. Though the movie drags at times, the pre-climax and climax hit their marks. However, a better emotional impact would have helped the film.

Positives:

  • Entertainment
  • Twists during Pre-Post Interval
  • Scenes Towards Climax

Negatives:

  • Weak Emotional Impact
  • Few Silly/Boring Scenes
  • Songs

Mazaka Movie Review and Verdict:

Mazaka is an engaging entertainer with a few flaws. Though the film lacks the required solid emotional depth, the entertainment factor, Sundeep Kishan and Rao Ramesh’s performance work well for the film.

Ala Vaikunthapurramulo Exits Netflix

The all time hit Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which remains one of the most successful Telugu films in regional cinema, is about to leave Netflix. The film, starring Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde, was a tremendous hit when it premiered in 2020 and continues to have a significant fan base.

Aside from its record-breaking box office performance, the picture received high viewership on Netflix, where it became famous among audiences worldwide. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo became a fan favorite among moviegoers thanks to its captivating plot, lyrical music by Thaman S, and Trivikram Srinivas’ distinctive narration.

However, due to streaming rights agreements, the Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, will no longer be available on Netflix after February 26. Fans who want to view the film online may now do so on Sun NXT, where it will be accessible to stream. This wonderful transfer represents a shift in the film’s digital channels, ensuring that consumers can continue to enjoy wonderful family entertainment. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, with Allu Arjun’s captivating performance and hit songs like “Butta Bomma” and “Samajavaragamana,” remains an unforgettable cinematic experience for Telugu moviegoers.

Laila OTT Streaming Update

Vishwak Sen’s latest release, Laila, has turned out to be the biggest failure of his career, struggling to even pull a minimum audience to theatres. The film ended its theatrical run with a mere ₹1.5 crore share worldwide, making it a massive box office disaster. Both the movie and Vishwak Sen have faced heavy criticism from audiences and critics alike.

From the beginning, Laila failed to generate positive buzz. Despite the actor’s aggressive promotions, the film’s content did not resonate with the audience. Poor storytelling, weak screenplay, and awkward scenes have been major talking points, with many labeling it an experimental misfire. The film’s failure marks a major setback for Vishwak Sen, who was riding high on previous successes.

Vishwak Sen definitely puts in a lot of effort for the film, especially for the Laila getup. He mentioned that he didn’t even step out for a month, and the makeup process took more than 2 hours every day. However, all his efforts go in vain, and he faces heavy criticism due to poor story selection.While Laila flopped in theatres, its journey is not over yet.

Laila OTT Streaming Details

Laila ‘s digital rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video, and the film is set to premiere on the platform from March 7. However, the OTT release might not bring any relief to the makers. Given the film’s content and several odd, unintentionally funny sequences, there is a high chance that it will be subjected to heavy trolling on social media after Laila OTT. With Laila turning out to be a massive misstep for Vishwak Sen, all eyes are now on his upcoming projects. The actor will have to carefully choose his next scripts to regain his lost momentum in the industry.
