Suriya’s Karuppu Eyeing Pongal Release

Suriya’s Karuppu did not announce its release date till now, and there was a buzz that it was planned for a Diwali release, but due to pending non-theatrical deals, the film was pushed to Summer 2026.

The team is considering multiple release options, such as the Republic Day weekend, a February release, and an early summer release, and the latest information is that the makers of Karuppu are also looking at a Pongal release as one of the options.

Can Suriya’s Karuppu face big films at Pongal-2026?

Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi have already been announced for Pongal release, and facing competition with these two films will definitely be tough for Suriya and Prabhas—Maruthi’s The Raja Saab Tamil version will also be there for Pongal.

In Telugu, there will definitely be no screens for dubbed films, as the theaters will be packed with Telugu releases. Maybe the Karuppu team is thinking that one of the Tamil films for the festival, Jana Nayagan or Parasakthi, might be postponed, and then they will fill that slot.

NTR – Nelson Project Postponed ?

NTR and Tamil Director Nelson announced a film under Naga Vamsi’s production, and the film was all set to start next year, according to the actor’s film order. However, the latest news is that the film has been postponed.

Tarak is currently working on Prashanth Neel’s Dragon, and he is also committed to Devara 2 with Koratala Siva. On the other hand, Nelson’s Jailer 2 is going to be released in June 2026, and the director always takes a long time for pre-production. 

As said above, NTR and Nelson’s film was expected to start in early 2027, but the latest news is that the film has been postponed. According to the Tamil industry circles’ news, after finishing Jailer 2, Nelson Dileepkumar is likely to be directing the biggest project. 

NTR to work with Nelson after finishing Trivikram’s Film?

Everyone knows that both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan announced their multi-starrer project, and Nelson is said to be in discussions to direct this massive film.

If the director works on Rajini-Kamal’s multi-starrer after the sequel to Jailer 2, he will be busy till 2027 and can work with NTR in 2028 only. 

Even in this case, there are no issues for NTR, as he has another committed film, which will be directed by Trivikram, and he can start the film earlier than expected.

Trivikram’s film is also being produced by Naga Vamsi, so there will be no issue for anyone in postponing NTR-Nelson’s film after Trivikram’s film. Let’s wait and watch how things unfold.

Rajinikanth Said No to Lokesh Kanagaraj?

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj teamed up with superstar Rajinikanth for the first time in Coolie. However, the film didn’t meet audience expectations, and now it seems Rajinikanth is not keen on working with Lokesh again.

Originally, Lokesh planned to direct Kaithi 2 after Coolie, but due to the film’s mixed response, he tried to collaborate with Rajinikanth once more. Reports say Lokesh developed a few story ideas and narrated them to the actor, hoping to work together again.

The latest buzz suggests that Rajinikanth was not impressed with the new scripts and declined Lokesh’s offer. As a result, Lokesh is now returning to his original plan—directing Kaithi 2.

At the same time, Lokesh is also preparing to make his acting debut under the direction of Arun Matheswaran. Pre-production for Kaithi 2 is expected to begin soon, and the film will likely go on floors early next year.

This is exciting news for fans of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), who have been eagerly waiting for Kaithi 2 ever since Vikram’s release. Although Lokesh worked on Leo, Coolie, and explored other projects, fans never lost hope for the sequel.

Despite the delay, the anticipation for Kaithi 2 remains strong, and Lokesh’s return to the franchise is sure to make LCU fans happy.

Bison Movie Review: A Prolonged But Authentic Sports Action Drama

Movie Name: Bison Kaalamaadan
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Dhruv Vikram, Pasupathi, Anupama Parameswaran, Rajisha Vijayan, Pasupathy, Ameer, Lal, Azhagam Perumal, and Anurag Arora
Director: Mari Selvaraj
Produced By: Applause Entertainment and Neelam Studios
Release Date: 24th October 2025

Bison Kaalamaadan, directed by Mari Selvaraj and starring Dhruv Vikram as the lead, was released in theaters on the occasion of Diwali. This periodical sports action drama set in 1940s colonial India is already running well in theaters in the Tamil version, and it is now out in Telugu. Let’s check what special experience the film provides in our review.

Story:

Bison is inspired by the life of Manathi Ganesan, an Indian Kabaddi player and Arjuna Award winner. The film tells the story of Kittayya (Dhruv Vikram), a young man from a marginalized caste in the 1990s. It follows his struggles and determination to fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian Kabaddi team.

Performances:

Dhruv Vikram delivers a powerful performance as Kittayya, portraying every emotion with conviction. Pasupathy, who plays his father, gives a sincere and heartfelt performance.Rajisha Vijayan shines as the hero’s supportive sister. Aruvi Madhan, as the physical training master, along with Ameer and Lal, who play leaders from different castes, and Anupama Parameswaran as the hero’s love interest, all leave a strong impact with their performances

Analysis:

Like director Mari Selvaraj’s previous films, Bison carries a strong social message. It explores the journey of a Kabaddi player who faces challenges like caste discrimination and local politics while pursuing his goal.

Mari Selvaraj presents Kittayya’s journey in a powerful and emotional way. What begins as a small incident on a bus turns into a major conflict, and the execution of that sequence is particularly impressive. The first half of the film holds good emotional weight and ends with a hard-hitting moment.

The second half starts strongly with an intense Kabaddi match that changes the course of the hero’s life. However, though the film carries the mood, it becomes somewhat predictable and slows down in parts, with a few repetitive scenes.

Despite these issues, the climax brings the emotions back effectively.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Strong Emotional Scenes
  • Authentic Portrayal of Kabaddi Matches
  • Technical Excellence

Negatives:

  • Slow Narration
  • Predictable Moments Here and There
  • A Few Dull Moments

Bison Review and Verdict:

Overall, Bison is an honest and emotional sports drama by Mari Selvaraj. It stands out for its natural performances and strong emotional moments, even though it suffers from predictability and a few slow portions. It ends up being a decent and meaningful watch.
