Superstar Mahesh Babu is currently working on the much-anticipated big-budget film Varanasi, directed by SS Rajamouli. While fans are eagerly waiting to see him in this massive project, there is also strong curiosity about which film Mahesh Babu will take up next, and several interesting rumors are doing the rounds.

According to reports, the shooting of Varanasi is expected to be completed by June 2026. After finishing such a grand film with Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu is said to be planning his next project under his own banner, GMB Entertainment.

Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, had its premiere on the night of December 4. Revathi, a resident of Hyderabad, along with her son Sritej, went to Sandhya Theatre to watch the premiere show. During this time, a stampede broke out near the theatre. Revathi died on the spot, while Sritej suffered severe injuries and was immediately shifted to the hospital. Earlier, Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with this stampede case.

Sritej’s Health is still critical

Even after a year since the accident, Sritej’s health condition has not improved. He is still unable to speak or walk. His father, Bhaskar, expressed deep sorrow over his son’s condition and broke down while speaking about the family’s situation.

Earlier, Allu Arjun and Allu Aravind provided financial assistance of ₹75 lakh towards Sritej’s hospital expenses. Producer Dil Raju also revealed that an amount of ₹2 crore has been deposited into the family’s account to support Bhaskar’s family.

Suriya 46: Surprising Storyline

0

Suriya is currently working with Telugu director Venky Atluri on his 46th film, which has created high expectations among audiences. The film is in the shooting stage, and producer Naga Vamsi recently shared details about Suriya 46’s storyline, which came as a surprise.

In a recent interview, Naga Vamsi revealed that the storyline of Suriya 46 explores relationships, love, and emotions between a 45-year-old man, played by Suriya, and a 20-year-old woman, played by Mamitha Baiju. This revelation sparked a viral discussion on social media, with fans comparing the concept to Hindi films like Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De and Dear Zindagi, where Alia Bhatt shares an emotional bond with an older man played by Shah Rukh Khan.

While the story itself remains to be seen, the age-gap angle between Suriya and Mamitha Baiju could offer a fresh and interesting perspective. At the same time, it is a risky subject that needs careful handling. It will be interesting to see how Venky Atluri and his team present this sensitive storyline and convince the audience.

Censor Trouble For Jana Nayagan

0

Following Parasakthi, the censor board, CBFC, has demanded multiple cuts for Vijay’s Jana Nayagan as well, ahead of its audio launch. The film’s team is yet to decide whether to accept the cuts or approach the revising committee. With this, it appears that the upcoming Pongal releases from the Tamil film industry may face some tough hurdles before reaching theatres.

According to reports, Vijay’s Jana Nayagan contains several political references and dialogues, which could be the reason behind the censor board’s objections. Political influence in the film is expected, especially since Vijay has announced his own political party and plans to contest in the next elections.

Meanwhile, the grand audio launch of Jana Nayagan will take place today at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, in Malaysia. As the film is expected to be Vijay’s last movie before he moves into full-time politics, the event, titled Thalapathy Thiruvizha”, will celebrate his three-decade-long journey in cinema.

Sankranthi Biggies See Low Advance Bookings in USA

0

Sankranthi 2026 will see the release of two big films along with several medium-budget movies. Surprisingly, the USA advance bookings for the Sankranthi biggies, The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, are quite low.

The advance bookings for The Raja Saab opened a few days ago, but the collections have still not crossed $200K. The premiere advance stands at around $180K, which is undoubtedly a weak opening for a Prabhas film in the post-Baahubali era. The film now needs a strong jump in bookings.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu comes from a blockbuster combination featuring Anil Ravipudi, Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Nayanthara. Even with such a powerful lineup, the advance bookings have not met expectations and are currently around the $40K mark.

Overall, both Sankranthi biggies have started their USA advance bookings on an underwhelming note and will need a major push in the coming days to post strong numbers.

Both movies are set to release worldwide on January 9, and fans are eagerly waiting to see this thrilling box office competition between Prabhas and Vijay.

Dhurandhar is the first movie to get an A-Certificate and reach this milestone

0

The latest blockbuster Dhurandhar continues its strong run at the box office and has created history by becoming the first A-rated Indian film to gross over ₹1000 crore worldwide. It is really turning out to be one of the rarest hits at the box office.

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s film has surpassed Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, which is the only other A-certificate film that came close, with a worldwide gross of around ₹900 crore.

Looking at Bollywood records, the blockbuster film Dhurandhar is now the fourth Hindi film to cross the ₹1000 crore mark with only its Hindi version, after Pathaan, Jawan, and Pushpa 2.

When collections from all versions are considered, the espionage drama becomes the ninth Indian film to enter the ₹1000 crore club, joining elite blockbusters such as Dangal, Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF Chapter 2, Jawan, Pathaan, and Kalki.
