AI Abuse Targets Actresses

In Recent years, a dangerous trend of actresses getting abused by AI-generated fake images has grown into a problematic situation. Despite several actresses, such as Rashmika Mandanna, speaking out, inappropriate and disturbing AI-generated edits continue to circulate online.

Several actresses have recently fallen victim to AI-generated deep fake images and videos, sparking serious concerns about digital safety and privacy. Notable cases include Rashmika Mandanna, Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, and Nora Fatehi.

The misuse of AI is becoming a serious concern for many actresses. This ongoing issue is not only distressing but also misleading, as many people assume these AI images are real. Every day, some actresses’ AI images are trending on the Internet and going viral.

Stronger digital laws and platform accountability are needed before the problem grows even bigger and causes further harm to actresses.

Netflix Adds Kaantha

Kaantha, starring Dulquer Salmaan, Bhagyashree Borse, Rana Daggubati, and Samuthirakani, was released in theaters with high expectations but failed to impress most audiences and critics. Following its disappointing box office performance, Kaantha is now set to arrive on OTT, with Netflix adding the film to its library.

Dulquer and Rana not only acted in the film, but they also produced it, which brought a proper buzz to it. Also, the film received a blockbuster response from Chennai Premieres. With that, everyone expected Kaantha to be another milestone film for Dulquer, like Mahanati, Sita Ramam, and Lucky Baskhar.

But once the regular shows started, the period drama received mixed word of mouth and did not perform well at the box office, ending up as a failure.

Netflix has acquired the all-language streaming rights of Kaantha for a hefty price, and the platform has already added the film to its app’s library, confirming that it will start streaming from Friday, December 12th. Now it’s time to see whether the film can make a strong impact with OTT audiences.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh Release Noise Upsets Charan Fans

Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh did not announce the release date yet, and as promised, the makers started the promotions, announcing the first single promo release on 9th December. However, the indirect hints about Ustaad’s release date in March, the same season in which Peddi is also arriving, are hurting Charan fans.

Both Ram Charan’s Peddi and Nani’s The Paradise were initially announced for release at the end of March, a prime period for films due to the combination of summer and festival holidays. However, due to delays in the shoot, The Paradise is reportedly postponed, and the makers will announce the new release date soon.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh to potentially take Peddi’s release date?

Recently, there has been some buzz that Peddi might also get postponed from the said date. The movie has to complete the entire shoot by December according to the initial plan, but it will surely extend until January now.

So, a new buzz started in the industry circles that Ustaad will take Peddi’s release date if it gets postponed. A section of the industry or media has already started the news that Peddi Postponement is 100% confirmed, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh is scheduled for the same date.

Now, this buzz is hurting the Ram Charan fans, as they are sure of a big comeback by their favorite hero with Peddi, and they do not want the film to be postponed from a blockbuster date like March.

Akhanda 2 Release Options: Detailed Analysis of the Best Dates

There has been a lot of discussion about the new release date of Akhanda 2, which was supposed to be released on December 5, but was postponed at the last minute. Right now, there are many rumors and news coming out regarding the new date. Track Tollywood has done an analysis of Akhanda 2 Release options.

Akhanda 2 Release Options Analysis

25th December:

If the film releases on 25th December with 24th-night premieres, the film will benefit from the holiday release with a 4-day long weekend plus premieres. So it will definitely have a big opening weekend. And since 1st January falls in the second week, it becomes a big advantage, the second weekend will also deliver strong numbers.

However, after the second weekend, the movie may have almost completed its box-office run due to the pre-festival effect. Sankranthi is lined up with multiple releases, and another concern is whether the movie can maintain the same release momentum, as there is still more than a 2-week gap. The team will need to come out again for promotions.

12th December:

If it’s 12th December, with 11th-night premieres, there is no need to release much promotional content; a press meet is more than enough to carry the release momentum. But there are no holidays on the first weekend and the second weekend. The one big advantage is that the movie will have a consistent run until the 4th weekend, and both the 3rd and 4th weekends will benefit from holidays, which is a major plus.

As the business involves a huge amount, buyers always want to recover their investment as quickly as possible. So any delay in the release directly affects them. In this scenario, 12th December is the better option.

19th December:

If it’s a 19th December release, the movie will have a good advantage with holidays at the beginning of its second week and the beginning of its third week. Also, other releases will get some relief, as multiple films have already been announced for 12th December and 25th December. Finding a better date at this stage can be tough for them.

Akhanda 2 Release Update: This Date Likely to Be Finalised

Today, the Akhanda 2 Team discussed with distributors regarding the new release date, and the discussion happened between two dates: 12th December and 25th December. The majority of the people are said to have agreed on 25th December, according to sources.

Many distributors suggested releasing the film on 25th December with premieres on the 24th night across all areas. As Christmas falls on a Thursday, and it is a public holiday, the 4-day long weekend with Wednesday premieres will add huge numbers for the film. 

At the same time, in the 2nd week, 1st January will come across as another advantage. If the film releases on 25th December, then the makers can also get some time to clear all the financial hurdles and release the film without any issues next time.

12th and 25th December: Two Release Dates Under Consideration for Akhanda 2

But the only concern for the Akhanda 2 team is the momentum. Because of the postponement, now the film has been doing rounds in the minds of audiences and is carrying some momentum.

So, if it releases on 12th December, then it will carry the hype, and if it arrives on 25th December, there is more than 2 weeks’ gap from now, which raises some concerns about it carrying the same momentum. Even the fans demand a 12th December release date due to this concern only.

But, there are high chances for the film to be released on 25th December. If the team is able to resolve all issues by tomorrow, then the 12th December release is possible for sure.

Aamir Khan Shocks Everyone with His Update on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Film

During the Coolie promotions, Aamir Khan officially announced that he is doing a film with Lokesh Kanagaraj, and it’s a superhero subject. However, after the film’s result, it looked like the film was called off. But Aamir recently shocked everyone as he said that his film with Lokesh Kanagaraj is very much on.

For a few days, a strong set of reports came that Director Lokesh and his team were working on the same superhero subject for Allu Arjun under Mythri Productions, which directly meant a film with Aamir Khan was dropped.

But now, Aamir officially says that his film with Lokesh Kanagaraj is not shelved. “Lokesh and I were supposed to meet last month in Mumbai, and the narration is going on, so yes, the project is very much in progress. I intend to give one film a year, and I am trying my best. We spoke last month, and he said he’ll be coming to Bombay soon. Once he is here, we’ll go through the narration. As of now, it’s definitely happening,” he said.

After Coolie’s release, there has been a big confusion about Lokesh’s next directorial and which film he will do first, with continuous news of several combinations. It needs to be seen who will be the final one to do a film with the director.

Will Krithi Shetty’s Luck Change?

Krithi Shetty debuted with a blockbuster Uppena in Telugu, and with such a huge success, she received a lot of projects continuously in Telugu but faced back-to-back failures, which halted her offers in the Telugu film industry as the days went by.

But the actress received good offers from Tamil Cinema, and now she awaits the release of Jayam Ravi’s Genie, Pradeep Ranganathan’s LIK, Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar (Annagaru Vostaru). All three films have completed shooting a long time back, but due to financial hurdles they have not seen the release.

Krithi Shetty needs all her upcoming releases to score well to get back on the success track and to get more exciting projects in her career. Karthi’s film is scheduled for release on 12th December, and the trailer is also out.

Pradeep Rangathan’s LIK is announced for 18th December. Both movies still have financial hurdles that need to be cleared, and they will be able to be released in theaters only if they do so. 

Let’s just hope that all three films of the Uppena actress will arrive in theaters, crossing all the issues on time, and give her a grand comeback.
