Aamir Khan Shocks Everyone with His Update on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Film

0

During the Coolie promotions, Aamir Khan officially announced that he is doing a film with Lokesh Kanagaraj, and it’s a superhero subject. However, after the film’s result, it looked like the film was called off. But Aamir recently shocked everyone as he said that his film with Lokesh Kanagaraj is very much on.

For a few days, a strong set of reports came that Director Lokesh and his team were working on the same superhero subject for Allu Arjun under Mythri Productions, which directly meant a film with Aamir Khan was dropped.

But now, Aamir officially says that his film with Lokesh Kanagaraj is not shelved. “Lokesh and I were supposed to meet last month in Mumbai, and the narration is going on, so yes, the project is very much in progress. I intend to give one film a year, and I am trying my best. We spoke last month, and he said he’ll be coming to Bombay soon. Once he is here, we’ll go through the narration. As of now, it’s definitely happening,” he said.

After Coolie’s release, there has been a big confusion about Lokesh’s next directorial and which film he will do first, with continuous news of several combinations. It needs to be seen who will be the final one to do a film with the director.

Will Krithi Shetty’s Luck Change?

0

Krithi Shetty debuted with a blockbuster Uppena in Telugu, and with such a huge success, she received a lot of projects continuously in Telugu but faced back-to-back failures, which halted her offers in the Telugu film industry as the days went by.

But the actress received good offers from Tamil Cinema, and now she awaits the release of Jayam Ravi’s Genie, Pradeep Ranganathan’s LIK, Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar (Annagaru Vostaru). All three films have completed shooting a long time back, but due to financial hurdles they have not seen the release.

Krithi Shetty needs all her upcoming releases to score well to get back on the success track and to get more exciting projects in her career. Karthi’s film is scheduled for release on 12th December, and the trailer is also out.

Pradeep Rangathan’s LIK is announced for 18th December. Both movies still have financial hurdles that need to be cleared, and they will be able to be released in theaters only if they do so. 

Let’s just hope that all three films of the Uppena actress will arrive in theaters, crossing all the issues on time, and give her a grand comeback.

0

Dhanush is not only a Tamil Hero but he has also worked in Telugu, Hindi and English films as well. He acted in an intense love drama, Tere Ishk Mein, alongside Kriti Sanon, which received a positive response from audiences. Dhanush hits his career best figures at the box office as the film joins the 100 Cr net club in India.

Continuing its long run in the theaters, Tere Ishk Mein is hitting ₹100 crore net in India today, and becomes Dhanush’s career best film as it is the first-ever 100 crore net film in the country. 

Despite the Dhurandhar storm, the film performed well in its second weekend, much to the happiness of the theater owners.

Previously, the Kuberaa actor did Raanjhanaa with Anand L. Rai, released in 2013, and became a superhit. Another film, Atrangi Re, was directly released on OTT in 2021.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Voting Results Week 13

0

With Bigg Boss 9 Telugu nearing its climax, the viewers are excited about the voting results. The 13th week polls suggest that Tanuja is in the number one place, while Pavan No 2 place, Bharani No 3 place, Suman at the number 4 place, Sanjana at the number 5 and Rithu is in the number 6 place. 

It has already been revealed that because of getting the least number of votes, Rithu has been eliminated, and the other contestant, Sanjana, who was also in the danger zone, got safe because it was a single elimination episode this week.

Looking at the Bigg Boss 9 Telugu 13th week’s Voting polls trend, Sanjana and Suman will be in the danger zone for next week. They should not be nominated to enter the final week, as the vote turnaround is not possible in these final days.

Rithu’s elimination will practically help Demon Pavan to improve his position, as her votes will now directly get transferred to him, because of their close bond and good friendship in the house.

With Kalyan winning the ticket to the finale task, he will not be in the nominations next week, and it will be interesting to see who will arrive in the nominations in the last week.

Akhanda 2 Release Stuck: Waiting for One Big Assurance

0

EROS is one of the main reasons for the Akhanda 2 movie’s postponement, as it was fed up with the film’s production house, 14 Reels Plus’s false promises on a continuous basis regarding the pending payment. The film’s release is still doubtful because of this issue.

The company approached the court for a principal amount of 28 Cr, and they demanded that the amount should be paid with 14% interest, taking the total to over 50 Cr.

Since the production house cannot immediately pay the amount, they are attempting an out-of-court resolution. However, the issue remains unresolved, with discussions ongoing. EROS reportedly demands that the Akhanda 2 production house pay half the outstanding amount immediately, along with a prominent person’s guarantee to withdraw from the case. The parties are still in negotiations.

Akhanda 2 Release: Big Task Ahead For 14 Reels Plus

14 Reels Plus needs to be prepared with half the amount. Even if they get half the amount, there’s uncertainty about securing the remaining amount, as these are substantial sums in the crore range. Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu have reportedly already sacrificed some of their outstanding remuneration.

Hopefully, 14 Reels Plus will resolve all issues by tomorrow and announce a new release date.

Ram Efforts Win Hearts, Not Money

0

Actor Ram Pothineni believed strongly in the story of Andhra King Taluka and personally involved himself in almost every aspect of the film. He even contributed to writing the lyrics for one of the songs. However, despite all his hard work, Ram has won only hearts, not money.

Directed by Mahesh Babu Pachigolla, the movie released on 27th November and opened to positive reviews. Critics and audiences appreciated Ram’s performance unanimously.

Although the film started slowly at the box office, the trade expected collections to grow steadily in the following days. Unfortunately, that rise did not happen. There was a brief hope that the film might gain momentum after Akhanda 2 was postponed, but Andhra King Taluka saw only a very small jump in collections.

Ram did not take any remuneration for this project because he completely believed in the film. The producers officially announced that he took the distribution rights for the Nizam and Guntur areas instead of his salary.

Generally, Tier-2 stars charge around ₹20 crore as remuneration. But in comparison, Andhra King Taluka did not even earn half of that amount for Ram, as the combined collections from Nizam and Guntur may not even reach double digits by the end of its run.

With Andhra King Taluka, Ram has definitely won love and hearts, but not money. Hopefully, the goodwill from this film will support his upcoming projects. Ram now needs a film that wins both hearts and the box office.

Suriya47 has been officially launched, and this film will be produced under Zhagaram Studios, the new production house introduced by Suriya in place of his regular 2D Entertainment banner. The project is directed by Jithu Madhavan and features Naslen and Nazriya in important roles, with music composed by Sushin Shyam, known for Aavesham and Manjummel Boys.

Suriya plays a powerful police officer in the film, and most of the shooting is expected to take place in Kerala. The movie is planned for a theatrical release in 2026. Fahadh Faasil is also said to be playing a crucial role.

The year 2026 is shaping up to be very important for Suriya, as he is eagerly looking forward to multiple big releases. He has three films scheduled for 2026, and Suriya47 stands out as a special project because it marks the launch of his new production house.

  • #Suriya45 is directed by Tamil filmmaker RJ Balaji
  • #Suriya46 is helmed by Telugu director Venky Atluri
  • #Suriya47 is directed by Malayalam filmmaker Jithu Madhavan

Suriya should deliver strong box-office results from all these films to make 2026 a remarkable year and bring back his peak success.

Jio Hotstar Overtaking Netflix

0

Jio Hotstar, one of the top streaming Indian platforms, has reached 300 million subscribers, putting it neck-and-neck with Netflix’s last reported count of 301.6 million. It’s all set to overtake Netflix in subscriber count.

The merger and the combination of Disney+ Hotstar’s existing big user base helped the OTT platform to reach this bigger reach, and mainly sports events, such as IPL and ICC tourneys, will be available for Hotstar Big Subscribers. 

Recently, they have been focusing on big films as well. Netflix subscription also costs more than Jio Hotstar, which is the main reason for it to get 300 million subscribers in our home, India. 

JioHotstar excels in live sports (cricket!), regional content, and budget-friendly, bundled plans with HBO/Peacock titles, making it great for Indian families and sports fans; while Netflix leads in high-quality, globally appealing original series/movies, consistent 4K streaming, and a vast library of Hollywood blockbusters, catering more to cinephiles wanting premium international shows.

Anil Ravipudi Cracks the Viral Formula

0

Anil Ravipudi seems to be intentionally adding catchy lyrics that work big for Instagram reels and go viral on the internet, and his formula works for “Sasirekha”, the second single of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which instantly connects with couples. The album is turning out to be a true chartbuster.

The Chiranjeevi–Nayanthara pair looks so good on screen. The song’s lyrics explain the lead characters’ backdrop and characteristics, and it will surely become an Instagram reel material for many couples and lovers.

Madhupriya and Bheems Ceciroleo provide the vocals for Sasirekha, while Bheems also composes the music. The visuals captured in Kerala enhance the track’s appeal, and the chemistry between Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara shines on screen, as said above.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s first single, “Meesaala Pilla,” is already performing strongly; now “Sasirekha” will likely boost the film’s momentum even further, proving the formula of Anil Ravipudi successful. Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela produce MSG through Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments. The release date for the film is scheduled for Sankranthi 2026.
