0

In a surprising turn of events, Malayalam actors Dulquer Salmaan, known for his recent blockbuster success as a producer with “Lokah: Chapter 1 Chandra,” and Prithviraj Sukumaran have been implicated in a customs raid in Kerala.

Customs preventive agents are raiding various sites in Kerala to find individuals smuggling vehicles from Bhutan with fake registrations to avoid taxes.

Raids called ‘Operation Numkhor’ were conducted at the homes of Malayalam actors Prithviraj and Dulquer Salmaan, leaving fans shocked. The results of the raids are still unknown. Interestingly, ‘Numkhor’ means ‘vehicle’ in Bhutanese.

The raids are happening at the same time in different places like Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, and Malappuram.

Customs officials mentioned they launched the raids because some high-end cars were coming from Bhutan as used ones without tax payments.

Ticket Price War: High Court Goes Against Karnataka Govt

0

The Karnataka High Court has put a hold on the state government’s decision to limit movie ticket prices to ₹200 in all theaters and multiplexes. On September 23, 2025, they issued a temporary order following a legal battle with multiplex owners, film producers, and other folks in the industry.

In July 2025, the Karnataka government dropped a draft notification aiming to cap ticket prices at ₹200 under the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2025.

The Multiplex Association of India and a bunch of film production companies, like the Hombale team behind Kantara, have filed petitions against the new rule.

The main points they made were that the petitioners argued the ₹200 limit was random and didn’t have any solid data or research to back it up.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG and Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 teams will be delighted with the decision of the Karnataka High Court, as they can put the ticket price as per the demand, not the limited price cap set by the government.

OG Distributor Still Waiting for Content

0

Despite the massive hype surrounding it, Pawan Kalyan’s OG still suffers because of poor planning and the delay in content delivery. The North America distributor himself is clueless about when the content will arrive.

The situation remains chaotic with the premiere dates approaching, yet the full content has not been released. This issue is causing many shows to be canceled.

The surprising part is that even the distributor of the film, OG, has no idea when the second half will be received. So far, only the content for the first half has been delivered.

Fans and audiences are annoyed with the makers’ planning. If all the issues aren’t resolved today, it could severely affect the premiere shows and numbers. The OG team kept messing up at the last minute with their poor handling of post-production.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG is gearing up for a massive release on 25th September. The film generated huge anticipation with all its promotional material working very well. The pre-sales of the film have crossed the 50 Cr mark now.

Also, the issues that bothered the makers are sorted as the content is getting delivered to overseas countries. Last night, the Andhra Pradesh revised GO was also released, and premiere bookings opened. 

In all areas the film’s bookings are getting opened, and the overseas advance bookings are at 3 million. The total all-India advance bookings are at 25 Cr, which takes OG pre-sales’ total gross to more than 50 Cr.
