Spirit Controversy: Prakash Raj Clears the Air

A sudden controversy recently surrounded Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’ upcoming film Spirit, after reports claimed that senior actor Prakash Raj had exited the project. These rumours quickly spread across the media and social platforms. However, Prakash Raj himself put an end to the speculation by issuing a strong clarification on social media.

Responding to the false reports, Prakash Raj wrote: “To all the toxic #FakeNews peddlers… On Spirit, the movie—we have not even started shooting my scenes yet, and your WhatsApp factories are busy creating stories. Grow up and have a life.”

Prakash Raj’s voice had earlier received an overwhelming response in the Spirit audio glimpse released on October 24, 2025. His narration played a key role in establishing the hero’s character and setting the intense mood of the film.

Naturally, fans were disappointed when rumours suggested that Prakash Raj was no longer part of the highly anticipated project. However, his direct clarification has now put an end to the controversy and reassured fans about his involvement in Spirit.

Big Relief for Jana Nayagan: Legal Issue Resolved, Censor Next

There has been a lot of discussion and speculation around Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, and the latest update is that the production house, KVN Productions, has withdrawn its court case and submitted the film to the Revising Committee.

It is expected that the censor certificate will be issued within a week. Once the film clears censorship, it has a strong chance of releasing later this month.

KVN Productions and the Jana Nayagan team faced several hurdles in securing a theatrical release due to a legal dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film was originally scheduled for a Pongal release on January 9, 2026, but it remains unreleased even in February 2026.

Core Issues and Disputes for Jana Nayagan’s Release

The delay was caused by multiple objections raised by the CBFC and some of its board members. Concerns were expressed over certain scenes depicting the Indian Army and visuals that suggested “foreign powers” instigating religious unrest in India. The board also pointed out that the initial review lacked input from a defense expert.

Additionally, reports claimed that the film contained political references and dialogues delivered by Vijay, which reportedly did not sit well with the Censor Board.

Trouble Between Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prakash Raj?

Veteran actor Prakash Raj plays a crucial role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’s Spirit. Earlier, a voice glimpse featuring powerful dialogues by Prakash Raj and Prabhas was released and created a massive buzz on the internet.

But a surprising rumor now doing the rounds in industry circles suggests that issues have reportedly arisen between director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prakash Raj. Because of this, speculation is growing that the makers may move ahead without Prakash Raj, with his character possibly being replaced.

Deepika Padukone out, now Prakash Raj: ‘Spirit’ witnesses multiple cast changes

As of now, the team has not made any official announcement regarding this development. This is not the first major change associated with the film. Earlier, the makers had planned Deepika Padukone as the female lead, but due to differences, she was later replaced by Triptii Dimri.

With these rumours gaining traction, it remains to be seen whether Prakash Raj will continue to be part of Spirit. An official clarification from the team is expected soon.

Director Dropped from Ilaiyaraaja Biopic

The Ilaiyaraaja biopic was announced in 2024 with Dhanush as the lead, and a lot of pre-production work had already taken place. The film was initially planned to begin shooting in 2025, with Arun Matheswaran as the director and Dhanush in the lead role.

But sadly, things didn’t go as planned, and the project faced a long delay due to multiple reasons, and at one point, rumors even surfaced that the film had been shelved.

Now, the latest update is that the Ilaiyaraaja biopic has not been shelved, but it will no longer happen under Arun Matheswaran’s direction. The team is currently looking for a new director to move the project forward and is planning to start the shoot by April 2027 (summer).

The official announcement for the Ilaiyaraaja biopic, starring Dhanush, was made on March 20, 2024. The project, featuring music composed by Ilaiyaraaja himself, was launched in a star-studded event in Chennai, attended by Kamal Haasan.

India’s Biggest Dolby Cinema Screen to Open with Dhurandhar 2

Good news for movie lovers seeking a world-class cinematic experience. Allu Cinemas, the premium theatre complex coming up at Kokapet in Hyderabad, is set for a grand opening with what is being touted as India’s biggest Dolby Cinema screen.

What’s creating even more excitement is the film chosen for this grand launch. The theatre is expected to open with ‘Dhurandhar 2’, adding massive buzz around both the movie and the multiplex. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, this pan-India action thriller is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.

Allu Cinemas Set to Begin Operations Next Month

Reports suggest that the unveiling of Allu Cinemas’ massive 75-foot-wide Dolby Cinema screen will coincide with the film’s release.

The theatre will feature Dolby Vision 3D projection, a Dolby Atmos sound system, and state-of-the-art facilities designed to deliver a truly premium movie-watching experience. Following the huge success of the first film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, expectations for the sequel are extremely high. Industry buzz indicates that the film has already secured major pre-release deals.

Blockbuster Start for Allu Cinemas with Dhurandhar 2

With its release falling around major festivals like Eid and Ugadi, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to generate strong box-office momentum. Located within the Allu Studios campus, this high-end multiplex is set to become a major attraction for moviegoers, especially in western Hyderabad.

Film industry sources believe that the combination of the country’s biggest Dolby Cinema screen and cutting-edge theatre technology will take the movie-watching experience to an entirely new level. While there has been no official announcement yet, reports say that the team is awaiting a few final permissions for the theatre’s opening. If these clearances come through on time, Tollywood is abuzz with excitement that Allu Cinemas will launch in grand style with Dhurandhar 2.

Maruthi and SKN Should Break Silence

Maruthi and SKN Should Break Silence

Maruthi and SKN built their careers in the industry step by step by delivering successful films. Maruthi, as a director, and SKN, as a creative producer, got their biggest opportunity with Prabhas’s The Raja Saab. They invested a lot of time and effort into the project, but the film failed to impress audiences content-wise and ended up as a disastrous result at the box office.

Failures are not new to anyone; everyone has to face them at some point in their career. However, more than the failure itself, what is seriously damaging Maruthi and SKN are the allegations being circulated. There has been strong buzz in the industry that Maruthi and SKN misused production funds amounting to several crores. Not only within the industry, but many media outlets are also directly or indirectly spreading these claims and targeting them. This is severely affecting their image and could impact their careers massively.

Both have remained silent for a long time after the film’s release. However, continuing this silence may not help, as the rumours are spreading like wildfire day by day. They need to respond and clarify the situation, as these allegations are damaging their reputation among both industry circles and audiences.

Aavesham 2 Is Happening

Malayalam cinema fans have exciting news to celebrate: one of their most beloved films, Aavesham, is officially getting a sequel. Lead actor Fahadh Faasil confirmed this development during a recent interaction with the media.

Released in 2024, Aavesham went on to become the biggest blockbuster of Fahadh Faasil’s career and one of the highest-grossing films in Malayalam cinema. Its success was not limited to Kerala alone. Following its OTT release, the film reached a pan-India audience, further boosting its popularity. Since then, fans have been eagerly demanding a sequel.

Putting an end to all speculation, Fahadh Faasil has now officially confirmed Aavesham 2, and the sequel is expected to hit screens sometime in 2027 or 2028.

With its strong fan base and growing pan-India appeal, Aavesham 2 has the potential to create a massive buzz across the country. Director Jithu Madhavan is currently occupied with a film starring Suriya and is expected to begin work on the much-awaited sequel once he wraps up that project.

Why Dasara is Wrong for Trivikram – Venkatesh Film

After a long gap, Victory Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas joined hands for a new film, Aadarsha Kutumbam House No 47 – AK47, much to the delight of fans. But the film’s release, which is scheduled for Dasara 2026, is a wrong date for the film’s genre and combination.

It is already known that Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s next film is targeting Sankranti, and this is why Trivikram’s film should not opt for a Dasara release. The team has to target releasing the film by August. Both films star Venkatesh, so if the Trivikram movie targets Dasara, the gap between the two films will be less than 3 months, which is not good. 

There will also be a clash of promotional content and unnecessary comparisons between the two films, which is not good for either film.

Srinidhi Shetty stars as the female lead alongside Venkatesh in Aadarsha Kutumbam House No 47- AK47. The film is produced by S. Radha Krishna under Haarika & Hassine Creations.

Manchu Vishnu Named A2, Mohan Babu A3 in Kidnap Case

A case has been registered against Manchu Vishnu, the President of the Movie Artists Association (MAA), in connection with a kidnap case linked to Manchu Mohan Babu University. While Vishnu was named A2, and Mohan Babu was named A3 in the case.

According to reports, the Chandragiri police have issued notices to actor and MAA President Manchu Vishnu, directing him to appear for questioning in connection with the kidnapping allegations. The police reportedly served two notices as part of the investigation.

The kidnap case involving Mohan Babu and Vishnu has now gone viral. The issue began when leaders of certain student organizations protested against the alleged collection of excessive fees at Manchu Mohan Babu University in Tirupati. The protest led to a tense situation on the university campus.

Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu Get Involved in a New Controversy

Student Federation of India (SFI) leaders were reportedly preparing to lay siege to the Collectorate, accusing the university management of charging exorbitant fees. Amid the escalating protest, two bouncers allegedly associated with Mohan Babu forcibly picked up two student leaders and took them away in a car.

The student leaders, identified as Akbar and Vinod, later filed a complaint stating that they were assaulted by the bouncers and kidnapped. Acting swiftly, the police chased the vehicle and registered cases against several individuals involved in the incident.

On the 3rd of this month, Chandragiri police officially registered a kidnapping case against 13 people, including Mohan Babu (A3), Manchu Vishnu (A2), and PRO Satish. The investigation is currently underway.
