Vishwambhara Release Update: Chiranjeevi’s Fantasy Film Likely Delayed to Summer 2026

Megastar Chiranjeevi has wrapped up shooting for Vishwambhara and is currently occupied with director Anil Ravipudi’s project. While Vishwambhara was originally expected to hit the big screens by now, the film’s teaser received a largely negative response, forcing the makers to delay its release.

Over the past few months, the team has been extensively revising the CGI to enhance the visual experience. Fans anticipated that Vishwambhara would release before Chiru’s film with Anil Ravipudi. Still, a new and rather shocking rumor claims otherwise. Reports suggest that the fantasy entertainer might not arrive until Summer 2026.

This speculation has left fans stunned, as they did not expect such a long postponement. To address the buzz, the makers are gearing up to unveil a major update tomorrow at 09:09 AM, just ahead of Chiranjeevi’s birthday on Friday. The announcement is expected to provide clarity on the release window.

Produced by UV Creations and directed by Vassishta, Vishwambhara features Trisha as the female lead, while Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor steps in as the antagonist.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Action Universe Expands: Coolie, Khaidi 2, and Benz On The Way!

Tamil cinema’s star director Lokesh Kanagaraj is back in action, not with just one film — but with a full-fledged expansion of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).

Currently, Lokesh has completed the shoot of his most-awaited action entertainer — Coolie, starring none other than Superstar Rajinikanth. Produced by Sun Pictures’ Kalanidhi Maran, the film will hit the screens on August 14. The recently released trailer has set the internet ablaze, and with a stellar ensemble cast including Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Upendra, Coolie promises to be a grand theatrical experience.

But the Lokesh storm doesn’t stop there.

After the release of Coolie, Lokesh will begin shooting for Khaidi 2 — the highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 cult hit Khaidi, which starred Karthi and laid the foundation for the LCU. The sequel is expected to be even bigger, with Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan reportedly playing a key role as part of the extended LCU narrative.

In addition, Lokesh is producing a new film titled Benz, directed by Bhagyaraj Kannan and starring Raghava Lawrence in the lead role. Interestingly, Benz will also be connected to the LCU — further weaving Lokesh’s films into a cohesive cinematic universe. Lokesh revealed in an interview that a 30–35 page screenplay is already ready, and he is gearing up to take the film on the floors soon.

From delivering iconic thrillers to creating a cinematic universe that bridges superstars and timelines, Lokesh Kanagaraj is building the MCU of Tamil cinema — the LCU.

 Stay tuned for more trailers, release dates, and exclusive behind-the-scenes updates from the Lokesh Kanagaraj universe!

Rajinikanth’s Coolie Dominates USA Pre-Sales; Rumors of Reunion With Siruthai Siva Spark Debate

Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is already on a record-breaking spree in the USA. Despite challenges like delayed premieres and the absence of IMAX screens, Coolie is witnessing robust pre-sales, signaling massive anticipation among fans. Trade experts predict that similar momentum will be seen in other international and domestic markets as well.

Following Coolie, Rajinikanth is expected to return in Jailer 2, the much-awaited sequel to his 2023 blockbuster. But while fans are celebrating his current streak, an unexpected rumor on social media has sparked concern and debate among Thalaivar followers.

According to industry buzz, Rajinikanth may soon collaborate with Siruthai Siva, the director of Kanguva, once again. The news comes as a shock to many, considering the critical reception of both Kanguva and their previous film together, Annaatthe, which failed to impress critics and fans alike.

Siruthai Siva, who was heavily trolled for Kanguva, is reportedly in early discussions with Rajini for a new project. If confirmed, this will mark their second film together. The rumored project is said to be backed by Telugu producer Srinivasa Chitturi, known for producing films such as The Warrior, Skanda, Seetimaar, Custody, and Naa Saami Ranga.

Meanwhile, other acclaimed directors like Nithilan Saminathan, H. Vinoth, and Vivek Athreya are also reportedly in talks with the legendary actor, giving fans hope for fresh, exciting collaborations.

As Coolie gears up for a thunderous release and speculation swirls around Rajini’s future line-up, one thing is clear — the Superstar continues to remain at the center of attention, both on and off the screen.

The Raja Saab Release Date Missing: Fans Speculate New Delay

The Raja Saab Sparks Release Date Confusion After Malavika Mohanan’s Birthday Poster Drop

Though Prabhas has several projects in the pipeline, all eyes are currently on his next theatrical release, The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi. Touted as a horror-comedy with a massy twist, the film also marks the Tollywood debut of Malavika Mohanan.

On Malavika’s birthday yesterday, the makers unveiled a striking new poster to celebrate the occasion. But amidst the cheers, fans noticed something odd—the absence of the previously confirmed release date: December 5, 2025. The missing date has now sparked intense speculation that The Raja Saab may be postponed once again.

January 2026 Release Rumored

Industry buzz suggests that the release might be pushed to January 2026, although no official statement has been made yet. If true, this would mark the second delay for the film, adding to growing concern and frustration among the fanbase.

Fans Demand Clarity

Social media is abuzz with fans tagging the production team and demanding an update. Many are urging People Media Factory and the director to clarify whether the film is indeed being rescheduled. While it’s likely that discussions about a new release window are happening behind the scenes, the lack of transparency is fuelling unrest.

Fans argue that with only a few months left until the originally announced date, some official confirmation is overdue.

Star Cast & Expectations

Apart from Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan, The Raja Saab also stars Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar as female leads, while Sanjay Dutt plays a pivotal role. With a genre blend of horror and comedy, and a star-studded ensemble, the film is poised for a massive release in five Indian languages.

As anticipation builds, it remains to be seen whether the makers will address the swirling rumors or stay silent a little longer. One thing’s certain—fans are watching closely, and they want answers.

Dhanush Slams AI-Altered Climax in Raanjhanaa Re-Release: “It Stripped the Film of Its Soul”

Dhanush Slams AI-Altered Climax in Raanjhanaa Re-Release: “It Stripped the Film of Its Soul”

The re-release of the 2013 romantic drama Raanjhanaa, starring Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor, has sparked major controversy—this time for a climactic twist created using artificial intelligence.

What was meant to be a nostalgic return for fans has instead drawn sharp criticism from the film’s lead actor. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday evening, Dhanush voiced his dismay in an emotional note captioned, “For the love of cinema.”

“The re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul,” he wrote.

Dhanush also alleged that the altered version was released despite his clear objections, stating, “This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago.”

In the re-released version, Dhanush’s character does not die, offering a so-called “happy ending”—a move that many fans and critics believe undermines the emotional impact of the original. The actor went on to express deeper concerns about AI being used to modify cinematic content without the consent of creators and actors.

“The use of AI to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future,” Dhanush added.

Earlier, director Aanand L. Rai had also expressed his dissatisfaction with the unauthorized changes.

Originally released in 2013, Raanjhanaa was a modest box office success, with its soulful music composed by A.R. Rahman and its powerful, tragic ending contributing to the film’s lasting emotional impact.

As debates around AI in filmmaking grow louder, this incident could very well become a turning point in how cinema handles the intersection of technology, ethics, and creative control.

Kingdom Crosses ₹67 Crore in 3 Days: Gowtam Tinnanuri Reveals Why He Shelved Ram Charan Project

Kingdom Hits ₹67 Crore in Just 3 Days; Director Gowtam Tinnanuri Breaks Silence on Shelved Ram Charan Film

Acclaimed filmmaker Gowtam Tinnanuri is enjoying the success of his latest release, the pan-India action drama Kingdom, which stars Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role. The film has been performing impressively at the box office, and as per the latest update from the makers, Kingdom has grossed ₹67 crore in just three days of its theatrical release.

As part of the post-release promotions, Gowtam interacted with the media and dropped an interesting update about a much-anticipated collaboration that never materialized — his shelved project with Tollywood star Ram Charan.

“I had narrated a storyline to Ram Charan, and he liked it very much,” Gowtam revealed. “I developed it into a full-fledged script, but I felt it didn’t match Ram Charan’s larger-than-life image. Directing a star like him is a one-time opportunity, and I didn’t want to do just any random film. We mutually decided to wait for the right project.”

This candid revelation has sparked curiosity among fans, who were hoping to see the duo work together. Gowtam’s clarity and artistic integrity have drawn appreciation from many quarters in the industry.

Meanwhile, Kingdom continues to make waves. Alongside Vijay Deverakonda, the film features Bhagyashri Borse, Satyadev, and Venkatesh in key roles. It is jointly produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

With its grand scale, emotionally driven plot, and strong performances, Kingdom is shaping up to be one of the biggest commercial hits of Vijay Deverakonda’s career.

Coolie Trailer Storms the Internet, But Nagarjuna Fans Disappointed Over Limited Screen Time

Coolie Trailer Takes the Internet by Storm, But Nagarjuna Fans Voice Discontent Over Screen Time

The much-awaited trailer of Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has made a massive impact online. With high-octane visuals, powerful music, and Lokesh’s trademark storytelling style, the trailer has quickly gone viral.

However, not everyone is happy.

A section of fans — particularly those of Nagarjuna Akkineni — have voiced their disappointment over his limited presence in the trailer. Despite being part of the film’s star-studded cast, Nagarjuna’s role is barely visible in the promo, sparking backlash across social media.

Fans had high hopes after his casting was confirmed, anticipating a strong, impactful role. With his character still shrouded in mystery, many are demanding that upcoming promos give him more visibility. Hashtags and comment threads are now filled with requests (and some trolling) urging the makers to spotlight Nagarjuna properly.

On the other hand, Coolie continues to ride high on hype. The film is being dubbed in multiple languages and is set for a grand theatrical release on August 14, 2025. With Anirudh Ravichander composing the music and Lokesh Kanagaraj at the helm, expectations remain sky-high.

Whether Nagarjuna’s role turns out to be a scene-stealer remains to be seen, but his fans will surely be watching closely when the next set of promos drops.

Rishab Shetty to Star in 18th-Century Bengal Period Drama | Sithara Offers ₹55 Cr Remuneration

Rishab Shetty Bags ₹55 Crore Deal for Pan-India 18th-Century Bengal Period Drama

National Award-winning actor and Kantara sensation Rishab Shetty is back in the spotlight with a new pan-India venture, this time with Sithara Entertainments. The upcoming untitled period drama will be set in 18th-century Bengal, marking Rishab’s second major foray into Telugu cinema after his role in Jai Hanuman.

This film promises to be ambitious in scale, rich in cultural detail, and rooted in history, with a unique narrative set in pre-independence Bengal. While the project remains under wraps officially, buzz in industry circles confirms that it will showcase Rishab in a never-before-seen avatar.

 Rishab’s Biggest Paycheck Yet?

What’s grabbing even more attention than the film’s premise is Rishab Shetty’s reported remuneration. According to insider reports, Sithara Entertainments’ Naga Vamsi has offered Rishab a staggering ₹55 crore for the film — his highest paycheck to date.

To put this into perspective:

  • For Kantara, which he both acted in and directed, Rishab was paid around ₹2 crore.

  • Following Kantara‘s massive pan-India success, his salary reportedly jumped to ₹12 crore for the upcoming Kantara prequel.

  • Now, at ₹55 crore, Rishab joins the elite league of the highest-paid Kannada actors ever.

This jump not only signifies Rishab’s growing popularity across languages but also indicates how Tollywood is increasingly embracing Sandalwood stars for major pan-Indian narratives.

 What We Know So Far:

  • Genre: Historical / Period Drama

  • Setting: 18th-Century Bengal

  • Production House: Sithara Entertainments

  • Producer: Naga Vamsi

  • Star: Rishab Shetty

  • Language: Pan-India release (Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam)

While other cast and crew details remain unconfirmed, the project is expected to go on floors in early 2026.

 The Rise of Rishab Shetty:

Rishab Shetty became a household name after Kantara took the Indian box office by storm, praised for its blend of folklore, spirituality, and rooted storytelling. Since then, he’s been in high demand for content-driven and large-scale projects beyond the Kannada industry.

With Jai Hanuman and now this Bengal-based period film, Rishab seems to be strategically expanding his pan-India presence, while staying loyal to stories rich in Indian tradition, heritage, and culture.

 Final Take:

Rishab Shetty earning ₹55 crore for a period film isn’t just about numbers — it’s a sign that content-backed stardom is redefining the Indian film industry. If this project delivers on its promise, it could become a landmark in historical storytelling in Indian cinema.

Stay tuned for official announcements from Sithara Entertainments.

Sumanth’s Anaganaga Becomes a Streaming Hit | Actor Opens Up About Rejections in Bollywood

Sumanth’s Anaganaga Turns Streaming Sensation; Actor Gets Candid About Bollywood Rejections

Akkineni hero Sumanth is back in the spotlight, thanks to the emotional web film Anaganaga. Streaming on ETV Win, the film has resonated deeply with audiences, crossing over 150 million streaming minutes. It has not only brought Sumanth renewed attention but has also drawn praise from big names — including Superstar Mahesh Babu, who was reportedly moved by the film’s heartfelt storytelling.

Anaganaga also stars Kajal Chowdhary and Viharsh in lead roles, and is directed by Sunny Sanjay, whose work has been lauded for its emotional depth and simple yet engaging narration.

As part of the film’s success celebrations, Sumanth and director Sunny Sanjay recently participated in an interactive fan chit-chat session. During the event, a fan raised a question about industry favoritism and whether individuals with a film background have easier access to opportunities.

Sumanth responded honestly, saying:

“Even those with a film background need to give auditions after a point. Just a few days ago, I auditioned for four to five Hindi films. I was rejected because I don’t have a strong command over Hindi. The language barrier cost me those opportunities. Had I not been an actor, I would have done something else.”

The actor’s candidness struck a chord with fans, highlighting the challenges even seasoned actors face — particularly in crossing language boundaries within Indian cinema.

With Anaganaga proving to be a major hit in the web space, and Sumanth continuing to push his limits, it looks like this phase of his career might lead to even more meaningful roles — across languages and platforms.
