Trivikram Srinivas’s Next Two Films Confirmed: Naga Vamsi Clears the Air

Amid growing speculation in the Tollywood circles, producer Naga Vamsi has put an end to all rumors surrounding director Trivikram Srinivas’s upcoming projects. After the recent official announcement that Trivikram will collaborate with Jr NTR on a mythological film, originally intended for Allu Arjun, expectations have soared across the Telugu film industry.

This update sparked a wave of unconfirmed reports suggesting that Trivikram might be working with several other leading actors. To address the confusion, Naga Vamsi took to X (formerly Twitter) to provide a clear and official update.

“Trivikram garu’s next two projects are locked with Venkatesh sir and Jr NTR anna. Everything else is mere speculation. Any confirmed project of Trivikram garu will be announced by me in this space,” he wrote.

With this post, it’s now official that Trivikram will first direct a film starring Victory Venkatesh, followed by the highly anticipated collaboration with Young Tiger Jr. NTR.

Fans of the ace director can rest assured knowing the lineup is locked, and any other reports floating around are purely speculative. Both films are expected to be backed by Haarika & Hassine Creations and promise to be high on scale and content.

Stay tuned for official announcements and further updates on these much-awaited projects.

Allu Arjun Prioritizes Atlee; Trivikram’s Project on Hold for Now

Stylish Star Allu Arjun is once again making strategic career moves. While fans were eagerly waiting for his fourth collaboration with director Trivikram Srinivas, it now appears that the project is not moving forward anytime soon. Instead, Allu Arjun has shifted his full focus to his pan-India film with director Atlee.

According to the latest updates, Allu Arjun recently held an important meeting in Hyderabad with Atlee and his father, Allu Aravind. The trio discussed the script in detail, and following positive feedback, the green light was officially given for the project to proceed.

The film, which was previously delayed due to Atlee’s high remuneration demands and parallel talks with Bollywood star Salman Khan, is now back on track. Those earlier hurdles have reportedly been resolved, paving the way for the film’s pre-production to begin.

This upcoming movie will be bankrolled by Sun Pictures and is expected to be a grand, big-budget entertainer aimed at audiences across India. As things stand, Allu Arjun is currently working on another untitled film with Trivikram, but sources confirm that Atlee’s project is now his top priority. Filming for the Atlee movie is likely to commence soon after his ongoing commitments wrap up.

With two major projects lined up—one with a proven collaborator (Trivikram) and another with a mass-commercial director (Atlee)—Allu Arjun’s next steps are keeping fans and industry insiders on high alert

Deepika Padukone Confirmed for Kalki 2: Rumors of Exit Baseless

Deepika Padukone Is Not Out of Kalki 2—Here’s the Truth

In recent days, rumors began swirling online that Bollywood star Deepika Padukone might not be a part of the much-awaited sequel, Kalki 2, starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and others. These speculations gained traction in the wake of her reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit. However, credible sources and story continuity prove otherwise.

Let’s set the record straight—Deepika is very much a part of Kalki 2.


Continuity Is Key: Deepika’s Role Cannot Be Removed

In Kalki Part 1, Deepika played a pivotal role as the mother of Kalki, a character central to the film’s mythological and emotional narrative arc. Her performance and character serve as the foundation of the story. Removing her from the sequel would result in a major continuity error that’s simply not feasible from a storytelling perspective.

Therefore, any notion of replacing her, especially after building such a strong character arc, holds no logical weight.


Rumors Linked to Spirit Exit Are Misleading

The confusion seems to stem from her exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’, a separate project. While that development triggered questions about her current standing with upcoming big-ticket films, insiders confirm that Kalki 2 is an entirely different scenario. Deepika’s removal from Spirit does not affect her role in Kalki.


 Sequel Announcement Coming Soon

Production on Kalki 2 is expected to begin soon. While the team hasn’t made an official cast announcement yet, all signs indicate that the core cast, including Deepika, remains unchanged. A formal confirmation from the makers is expected once pre-production activities are finalized.


Raja Saab Glimpse: A Make-or-Break Moment for Prabhas and Director Maruthi

Raja Saab Glimpse—A Pivotal Moment for Prabhas & Maruthi

The upcoming teaser of Raja Saab is shaping up to be much more than a regular glimpse—it’s a critical moment in the careers of both Prabhas and director Maruthi. As the film gears up for its promotional phase, the weight of expectation has only grown heavier due to delays and growing curiosity around its local mass appeal.


 Why It’s Equally Important for Prabhas and Maruthi

After a string of pan-India releases, Raja Saab marks Prabhas’ return to regional mass cinema—a space his fans have long missed. This film is being seen as a nostalgic nod to his roots in Telugu mass entertainers, and director Maruthi carries the responsibility of delivering a local flavor that matches Prabhas’ massive image.

The teaser is being treated like a litmus test, not just for audience excitement, but also to silence the doubts that have surrounded the film since its announcement.


 Teaser Runtime & Expectations

Interestingly, the teaser is said to have a runtime exceeding two minutes, which is longer than the conventional teaser format. This extended duration hints at a more elaborate look into Prabhas’ character and the film’s tone, increasing the pressure on Maruthi to hit all the right notes.

With the film facing multiple delays and shifting timelines, this glimpse has to make a strong statement, particularly because this is the first time Maruthi is directing a superstar of Prabhas’ stature.


 Can Maruti Deliver for a Mass Superstar?

Director Maruthi, known for his comedy-centric and family-oriented films, is venturing into mass action drama territory with Raja Saab. Naturally, fans are questioning how well he can manage the scale, style, and mass aura required for a Prabhas-starrer.

This teaser could either

  • Reignite the buzz and prove that the film is on track
    OR

  • Add more fuel to the skepticism surrounding the project

So, the pressure is real for both the director’s credibility and the star’s local mass comeback.

Dil Raju’s Bold Take: Stop Fake YouTube Reviews, Focus on Real Content and Film Economics

Dil Raju: “Stop Living in Fake Hype—Let’s Start With Real Change.”

Veteran producer Dil Raju has stirred up industry buzz with his hard-hitting remarks on the prevailing marketing gimmicks in Tollywood, especially the overdependence on fake YouTube reviews and paid view counts.

In a bold statement, he urged fellow producers to stop spending lakhs on artificial online hype that doesn’t reflect genuine audience interest. “Don’t live with those falsehoods,” said Dil Raju. “Let’s bring in change—and let that change begin with me.”


 The Problem With Paid YouTube Views

Dil Raju criticized the industry trend where film trailers and teasers are artificially boosted to create a false narrative of success. He remarked that the race to hit so-called view records within 24 hours or a week has become a burden on the producers and a distraction from the real measure of a film’s strength: content.

“There’s no point in wasting money to show inflated numbers. Let’s stick to real views and honest reach,” said Dil Raju, adding that this policy will be followed for his upcoming film Tammudu.


 “Producers Should Focus on Stories, Not Just Projects”

Dil Raju also addressed the financial mismanagement in current film production, where producers are more concerned about project announcements than story quality or economic feasibility. He emphasized that

  • Producers must sit down with heroes and directors to discuss realistic budgets and remunerations

  • Focus must shift from star image hype to sound film economics


 Pawan Kalyan’s Suggestions on Ticket Prices

Dil Raju also revealed that Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan gave key suggestions on ticket pricing to help bring audiences back to theaters. Following this:

  • A formal letter was submitted to the Telangana ministers

  • Dil Raju confirmed there will be no ticket price hike in Telangana

  • The move is expected to encourage wider theatrical participation


 A Call for Industry-Wide Reset

Dil Raju’s comments are being seen as a much-needed introspection for the Telugu film industry. He stressed that transparency, honesty, and sustainable filmmaking are the way forward.

“If the YouTube numbers are real, the audience will support us. We don’t need fake campaigns to win their hearts,” he concluded.

The Big Questions:

  • Will both films release on the same day?

  • Will there be enough theaters to accommodate two titans?

  • Will one team back off, or will the clash happen as promised?

  • Can both films succeed simultaneously, or will one emerge dominant?

No matter what, September 25, 2025, promises a Tandavam of Telugu cinema, with two of the biggest stars battling it out for box office supremacy.
