Keerthy Suresh Drops a Shocking Update on Yellamma

0

Actress Keerthy Suresh is gearing up to entertain audiences with her upcoming film Revolver Rani, releasing in theaters on November 28th. While fans were also waiting for her next project Yellamma, Keerthy Suresh has now given a shocking update that she is not part of the film.

Comedian Venu Yeldandi, who turned director with Balagam and scored huge success along with several awards, later worked on a script titled Yellamma. The project was initially planned with Nani and Sai Pallavi under Dil Raju Productions, but due to their busy schedules, both walked out. Nani then suggested Nithiin for the lead role, and the actor accepted. The film was confirmed before Thammudu’s release, but after the film’s failure, Nithiin also stepped away.

Recently, industry sources revealed that music director Devi Sri Prasad is set to make his acting debut with Yellamma, and Keerthy Suresh was expected to play the female lead. Reports suggested that all issues had been resolved and the shoot was scheduled to begin in January 2026.

However, during promotions for Revolver Rani, Keerthy shocked fans by announcing that she is not doing Yellamma. With her exit, the big question now is who will be cast as the lead actress in this much-awaited film?

0

Until now, Skanda is the biggest premiere number for Ram Pothineni in the USA with $115K gross, and Andhra King Taluka is all set to score a record opening for him with the help of positive buzz.

Hero Ram and the AKT team did a USA tour and visited multiple theaters and watched the film with audiences. All these helped the film’s buzz. 

With positive promotional buzz and Ram’s USA tour, Andhra King Taluka gets superb help, and it is all set to open with record premieres. The film already has close to $100K in presales, and if it gets positive WOM, then the film can easily aim for a $200K start. 

If the audiences give a positive response, then the movie will easily become the 1st million-dollar film for Ram in America.

0

Icon Star Allu Arjun graced the pre-release event of Akhanda in 2021, a huge blockbuster, and continuing that positive sentiment, the team invited him to the Akhanda 2 pre-release event, along with Telangana CM Revanth Reddy as the chief guest.

The pre-release event is happening on November 28th at Kaithalapur Grounds, Kukatpally, Hyderabad. Now the news is that Allu Arjun is not coming for the Akhanda 2 pre-release event due to a busy shooting schedule.

The Telangana Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, is expected to attend, while Allu Arjun has informed the team he will attend the success event post-release.

The fans have good news that music director Thaman will be performing all the songs at the Akhanda 2 pre-release event. Only two songs have been released from the film so far, and the entire jukebox is expected to be released at the pre-release event.

Rakul Preet Singh: Spyder Affected My Telugu Career Deeply

0

Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who was recently seen in De De Pyaar De 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, revealed that the big failure of Spyder (starring Mahesh Babu) had a major impact on her career and broke her expectations.

In 2017, Mahesh Babu teamed up with director A.R. Murugadoss for the first time with Spyder, a Tamil-Telugu bilingual film featuring Rakul as the female lead. Like many fans, she believed the actor-director combination would deliver a massive success. However, the film failed at the box office and did not meet expectations.

Rakul admitted that the setback affected her because, until then, she had enjoyed continuous success in Telugu cinema, working with stars like Ram Charan and NTR. She made her Telugu debut with Venkatadri Express, which was a superhit, and from there she built a strong career with back-to-back films alongside leading heroes.

After Spyder, however, she did not get offers with star heroes or big projects. Instead, she appeared in films like Manmadhudu 2, Check, and Kondapolam, all of which failed to impress audiences.

As a result, Rakul’s career in Telugu cinema slowed down significantly, and she has not acted in any Telugu films in the past three to four years.

Andhra King Taluka: A must win for Ram and Bhagyashri Borse

0

Andhra King Taluka, the biggest film of the month of November, is releasing tomorrow in theaters, and the film is a must-win one for Hero Ram and Heroine Bhagyashree Borse as well. The trade also has good expectations for the film.

Ram’s last three films, The Warrior, Skanda, and Double Ismart, are big box office failures. So he must and should score a big blockbuster to make a comeback.

Even for the heroine Bhagyashree’s debut film, Mr. Bachchan was an outright disaster. Her second film, Kingdom, was below average, and her recent release, Kaantha, was a failure. While she received good recognition for her acting in Kaantha, the film was not a box-office hit.

So, Andhra King Taluka must bring Ram Pothineni and Bhagyashree Borse back to the success track and has to become a commercial blockbuster.

Thaman Reacts to Recent Backlash

0

Music director Thaman has recently faced heavy criticism, especially regarding his mixing style. Many listeners feel that his work has become repetitive and lacks freshness, including his latest single for Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2.

Just a few days ago, Thaman raised expectations by promising exciting commercial songs for Prabhas’s The Raja Saab. Fans eagerly awaited the first single, Rebel Saab, which was released last Sunday. Unfortunately, the response has been disappointing.

Some fans themselves expressed frustration over the weak output, while Thaman gave a subtle counter to the criticism through an Instagram story, stating that he will deal in his own style with anyone who comes his way.

Although his reply silenced critics for the moment, words alone may not be enough. To truly win back audiences, Thaman needs to deliver strong and refreshing music once again. All eyes are now on his work for Akhanda 2 and The Raja Saab. If he succeeds, the same people who criticized him will likely celebrate his comeback.

NBK 111 Muhurtham Today: Balakrishna Set for a Historical Roar

0

After a mass action entertainer like Veera Simha Reddy, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni collaborated for the second time for NBK 111, produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru on Vriddhi Cinemas.

This is a first-ever kind attempt from director Gopichand Malineni, as he is making a historical film and bringing his mass style into a new genre. Nandamuri Balakrishna will be seen in a completely new look in the movie.

Set in a strong historical backdrop, the movie promises powerful emotions, action, and grand visuals. Nayanthara plays the female lead opposite Balakrishna, marking their fourth film together after Simha, Jai Simha, and Sri Rama Rajyam.

Thaman once again teams up with Balakrishna as the music director for NBK 111, and the film’s muhurtam is planned today. The release date and other cast and crew details of the film will be revealed shortly. 

Spirit Not Part of Animal Franchise

0

Spirit marks the first collaboration between director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and pan-Indian superstar Prabhas, and naturally, the project has created huge excitement among fans. Recently, a rumor spread that the franchises of Spirit and Animal are connected.

Released in 2023, Animal was a massive blockbuster, and the team has already announced it as a franchise, with a sequel titled Animal Park teased at the end of the film. The sequel is expected to begin after Vanga completes shooting Spirit. This led to speculation on social media that Ranbir Kapoor might appear in Spirit, as Vanga is the director and that the film could tie into the Animal universe.

However, this theory does not hold up. Vanga and his team have designed Spirit as a separate franchise, independent of Animal. A simple point supports this: if Spirit were part of the Animal franchise, the makers would not have cast Tripti Dimri as the heroine, since she already played a key role in Animal.

Therefore, there is no connection between Spirit and Animal, as both films explore completely different themes. While Ranbir Kapoor may still make a cameo appearance in Spirit, his role will not be linked to the Animal storyline.
