Nayanthara Takes Everyone by Surprise, Including the Toxic Team

Director Geetu Mohandas has shared heartfelt praise for Nayanthara, calling her performance in Toxic one of the most powerful portrayals of her career, while releasing the first look of her character. The filmmaker said that while Nayanthara is already known as a celebrated star with a commanding screen presence and a career spanning over two decades, Toxic will show audiences a completely new side of her talent.

Geetu Mohandas revealed that she intended to present Nayanthara in a way she had never showcased before. As the shoot progressed, she noticed how closely Nayanthara’s own personality matched the soul of the character Ganga from Toxic. According to the director, it was not an act of imitation but a perfect alignment between the actor and the role.

She highlighted the depth, honesty, restraint, and emotional clarity Nayanthara brought to the character, stating that these were not added performances but qualities the actor already possessed. Geetu Mohandas said she found her Ganga in Nayanthara, brilliantly brought to life on screen, and also gained a dear friend in the process. She ended her note with love and admiration for the actor.

Toxic features a strong lineup of powerful women characters who play key roles in the story.

  • Nayanthara as Ganga
  • Kiara Advani as Nadia
  • Huma Qureshi as Elizabeth

Produced by KVN Productions, the film is set to release in theatres on 19th March, 2026.

Murugadoss Plans Unique Monkey Film

So far, director A.R. Murugadoss has mostly made commercial films with strong social messages. Now, he is planning to change his style for his next project by introducing a unique film with a monkey as the main character.

His recent movie Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, did not perform well at the box office. After this, Murugadoss revealed that he is working on a new concept for his next film, in which a monkey will play the lead role. The film is planned as a graphics-heavy project.

The concept sounds interesting, and it will be exciting to see how the film finally turns out

Jana Nayagan vs The Raja Saab: USA Premieres Battle

Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Prabhas’ The Raja Saab are releasing on 9th January with USA Premiers on 8th January, and looking at the current trend, Vijay’s film is leading in the bookings.

Both films are currently recording similar bookings and are around the $300K range, and, at this pace, are trending towards around $1.3M in premiere collections. It remains to be seen which film will witness a bigger jump in the coming days and eventually take the lead.

For Jana Nayagan Business range, the USA Premiers are trending on a good note, but if we compare the business of The Raja Saab, the premiere bookings need to witness a big jump in the next few days, and should target $2 Million Premiers.

Akhanda 2 Failure Impacts Balakrishna’s Next

Akhanda 2 Failure Impacts Balakrishna’s Next

Akhanda 2 was expected to take Balakrishna to a whole new level, but it failed badly at the box office. With this result, the successful streak of Balakrishna and director Boyapati Srinu has come to an end. The failure of Akhanda 2 is likely to have an impact on Balakrishna’s upcoming films.

After the release of the Akhanda sequel, there were expectations that Balakrishna’s market would expand beyond the Telugu states. But that did not happen as planned. His next film is with director Gopichand Malineni, and it is not a regular mass entertainer. It is a historical drama that requires large sets and heavy VFX, which has pushed the budget very high.

At present, OTT platforms are also offering lower deals compared to earlier. Now, because of Akhanda 2’s theatrical failure, Balakrishna did not get the market boost that was expected, especially in other language markets. Because of this, the makers of his upcoming films need to be very careful with the budget.

The Raja Saab and the Big Question: Why No Focus on Other Languages?

The Raja Saab promotions were going on a dull note, but with the arrival of the trailer 2.0, the impact has turned positive, but still, the makers are not focusing on promoting the film in other languages, which is worrying the fans. 

Prabhas is the first star to capture the pan-Indian market, and his films continuously deliver good numbers in all languages. Coming to The Raja Saab, it is made in the horror fantasy genre, which is a universal genre that can connect to all languages.

The team already released all promotional content and did a pre-release event in Telugu, gearing up for release next Friday, 9th January, with paid premieres on 8th January. The surprising part is that the team did not do any promotions in other languages.

The Raja Saab: Limited Impact in Other Languages

The second trailer of the film was also released online, and fans think that the unit could have scheduled at least a press meet and released the trailer in Mumbai or the northern belts to create some buzz.

As of now, the film is not carrying much buzz in other languages, and The Raja Saab team needs to do some aggressive promotions this week to gather good openings at the box office. If the team maintains silence like this, then the film may not see big openings and will completely depend on WOM for collections.

Prabhas Fans Surprise Maruthi With Special Biryani Gesture

The gesture was a lighthearted response after Maruthi revealed his address during the pre-release event of The Raja Saab. He challenged fans by saying, “Come to my house and question me directly” if they were disappointed with the film.

Maruthi shared the experience on social media, expressing his surprise and thanking the fans for the biryani, acknowledging their love for The Raja Saab trailer. The incident showcases a lighthearted interaction, as fans cleverly leveraged Prabhas’ fondness for food and his known tradition of gifting biryani to his co-stars to create this thoughtful and amusing gesture.

Jalsa leads over Murari

Jalsa (2008) and Murari (2001) both worked in re-release at the box office, and as the year 2025 ends, both are getting re-released again, going on 31st December like a new year special gift for fans.

In early advances for the second re-release, Jalsa takes a lead over Murari. The fans of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu are very competitive when it comes to re-release records.

Jalsa and Murari: A Second Time Battle in Re-Release

Jalsa has extraordinary songs, and the entertainment in the film has a superb repeat value. Murari also has outstanding music, excellent performance from Mahesh, and a solid story. 

Both films have all the elements that cater to all kinds of audiences, and it needs to be seen which one will emerge as the winner. Venkatesh’s Classic film, Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, is also getting re-released on January 1st.

Tollywood Slips to Last Place in 2025

Tollywood has shown full dominance in recent years at the box office, and it even challenged Bollywood with a few films. But this year, the Telugu Film industry sees a collapse, and overall, 2025 ends as a less memorable year for it.

Bollywood scored 1000 Cr+ Grosser with Dhurandhar this year, which emerged as the biggest grosser of Indian cinema. Kollywood also scored a 500 Cr Grosser with Coolie, while Sandalwood scored an 800 Cr+ Grosser with Kantara Chapter 1. Mollywood, the Malayalam film industry, saw several blockbusters this year and scored their 1st 300 Cr with Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra.

Tollywood Fails to Leave Its Mark in 2025

Coming to Tollywood, it did not even score 300 Cr this year, and Pawan Kalyan’s OG with 294 Cr gross stands as the highest grosser. No releases of big stars like Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, and OG being limited only to Telugu audiences affected the box office impact of the Telugu Film industry in 2025.

NTR did a Bollywood film this year, and the highly anticipated Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, also failed miserably at the box office. All these combinedly affected Tollywood’s position this year.
