Trance of Kuberaa: Nagarjuna Reveals Hidden Talent Behind Teaser Cut

The recently released Trance of Kuberaa teaser, featuring Dhanush and directed by Sekhar Kammula, has taken social media by storm. With its striking visuals and soul-stirring music by Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), the teaser has set high expectations for the upcoming film. But what truly caught attention was King Nagarjuna’s heartfelt reaction and the revelation he made during a recent interview with Galatta Plus.

Nagarjuna, who plays a pivotal role in Kuberaa, praised the teaser, calling it “brilliant.” He said,

“There are two people I want to congratulate. The first is DSP. I’ve known him since before his big break. He composed music for Manmadhudu, which became his first major hit. When I heard the Kuberaa teaser song, I went into a trance. In Telugu, we call that ‘Poonakaalu’ — a kind of ecstatic hysteria.”

But the real surprise was Nagarjuna’s praise for the editor behind the teaser cut.

“I asked who cut the teaser and was told it was done by a boy from Annapurna College of Film & Media. His name is Sushrith. I was so proud that I immediately went and told Amala about him. I’ve met him before. That moment gave me a sense of accomplishment, that maybe I did something right by founding a film school,” he said emotionally.

Nagarjuna also commended Sekhar Kammula for trusting a young talent with such an important task:

“Even for a director like Sekhar Kammula, it’s not easy to convey the story through just a song in a teaser. But this was done beautifully.”

With Kuberaa set for release soon, the buzz around the film is only growing louder. From the musical magic of DSP to rising talents behind the scenes, the film is shaping up to be a standout in 2025.

Pawan Kalyan Visits Patancheru Campus for Son’s School Admission

Actor-politician and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan is juggling multiple responsibilities—from film shoots to key administrative duties. Amid his packed schedule, he recently made a personal visit that caught public attention.

Pawan was spotted at the International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) campus in Patancheru, Hyderabad. The reason? He was there to discuss school admission for his younger son, Mark Shankar Pawanovich, at the international school located on the ICRISAT campus.

Mark Shankar had been studying in Singapore until last year but reportedly had to return to India following a fire accident. Now, the actor has decided to continue his son’s education in Hyderabad. Pawan was seen accompanied by family members during the campus visit, and admission formalities were reportedly under discussion.

Meanwhile, Pawan is actively working on his next film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, under the direction of Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Despite his political and film commitments, the star continues to prioritize family whenever possible.

Ramya Krishna Played Daughter, Sister, and Wife of This One Legendary Actor!

Ramya Krishna Played the Daughter, Sister, and Wife of This One Iconic Actor – Can You Guess Who?

Ramya Krishna, one of the most versatile actresses in South Indian cinema, has enjoyed a stellar career spanning decades. From leading lady roles to powerful character portrayals, she has worked with almost every top star across the Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam film industries. With hits like Baahubali, Narasimha, and Padayappa, Ramya Krishna carved a niche for herself as a lady superstar. But here’s a fascinating piece of trivia: she has played the daughter, sister, and wife of the same actor in different films.

That actor is none other than the veteran artist Nassar, one of Indian cinema’s most respected character actors.

Let’s rewind through cinema history:

  • In the Rajinikanth-starrer Narasimha (Padayappa in Tamil), Ramya Krishna delivered a powerhouse performance as Neelambari, while Nassar played her elder brother.

  • In the Tamil film Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (a remake of the Telugu hit Attarintiki Daredi), Nassar appeared as Ramya Krishna’s father.

  • And in Baahubali, Ramya Krishna and Nassar played the royal couple—Sivagami and Bijjaladeva, portraying husband and wife.

From playing his daughter to wife and sister, Ramya Krishna has had a unique cinematic connection with Nassar—something rarely seen in Indian cinema.

Even today, Ramya Krishna continues to shine in strong supporting roles in Telugu and Tamil films, portraying mothers, matriarchs, and occasionally, grey-shaded characters with equal finesse.

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab Teaser Leaked Ahead of Official Launch on June 16

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab Teaser Leaked Online Ahead of Official Launch?

In an unexpected turn of events, visuals from Prabhas’ upcoming horror comedy The Raja Saab have surfaced online just days before the official teaser launch on June 16, 2025. Directed by Maruthi, the film is one of the most anticipated releases of the year, especially as it showcases Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar that blends horror, comedy, and mass appeal.

However, the excitement was marred when clips from the teaser leaked and started circulating across social media platforms. Reacting swiftly, the film’s team issued a strong warning to those sharing the leaked footage.

“Strict action will be taken and handles will be suspended immediately if any leaked content from The Raja Saab is found. We request everyone to cooperate and stand with us in protecting the experience. Let’s celebrate responsibly. Be aware,” the team stated on social media.

Produced by People Media Factory, The Raja Saab features a star-studded cast including Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, and Yogi Babu. With Thaman S composing the music, the film is slated for a grand theatrical release on December 5, 2025.

While the teaser leak is certainly a setback, fans are urged to wait for the official launch to experience the visuals and impact as the makers intended. With Prabhas taking on a refreshing new genre, The Raja Saab could very well surprise audiences in the best way possible.

Allu Arjun to Team Up with Malayalam Director Basil Joseph for Pan-India Film?

Allu Arjun to Collaborate with Malayalam Director Basil Joseph? Here’s What We Know

Allu Arjun, fondly called “Mallu Arjun” by his massive fan base in Kerala, may soon be taking that nickname to a whole new level. Reports are buzzing that the Telugu superstar is in talks for his first-ever collaboration with a Malayalam filmmaker—none other than Basil Joseph, the man behind Netflix’s superhero hit Minnal Murali.

From his early dubbed films to the nationwide success of Pushpa: The Rise, Allu Arjun has built a loyal following in Kerala. And now, with Pushpa 2 generating sky-high anticipation, the actor’s post-Pushpa lineup seems to be shifting dramatically.

Initially, Bunny had lined up films with Trivikram Srinivas (a mythological epic based on Lord Murugan) and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, but both projects appear to be on hold. Trivikram’s Murugan project has reportedly been passed on to Jr NTR, while Sandeep is preoccupied with Prabhas’ Spirit and the Animal sequel (Animal Park).

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s massive project with Atlee, backed by Sun Pictures, has already begun filming in Mumbai. Touted as a commercial spectacle, it’s set for a late 2026 release.

Now, the buzz is that Basil Joseph recently narrated a pan-India script to Allu Arjun, who was “highly impressed.” If the collaboration moves forward, the film will be produced by Allu Aravind under the Geetha Arts banner, with Jakes Bejoy likely scoring the music.

Basil Joseph, already known in Telugu households through dubbed hits like Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, is gaining traction among wider audiences. This possible crossover project has created excitement not just in Telugu and Malayalam cinema but across India.

While an official announcement is yet to be made, insiders suggest the news could drop in the second half of 2025. If this collaboration happens, it’ll mark a pan-India milestone and fulfill a long-standing dream for Mallu Arjun fans across the south.

Kabir Khan Supports Deepika Padukone Amid Spirit Controversy

Kabir Khan Backs Deepika Padukone in Spirit Row: “Why Shouldn’t She Work an 8-Hour Shift?”

The growing controversy around Deepika Padukone’s reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit has stirred strong opinions across Bollywood. As per earlier reports, Deepika demanded a Rs. 25 crore remuneration along with an eight-hour work shift—terms that the makers reportedly declined, resulting in her walking away from the project.

Soon after, Spirit director Sandeep Reddy Vanga accused an unnamed actress of attempting to tarnish the film’s reputation through negative PR—an allegation many interpreted as being aimed at Deepika. This sparked a heated debate within the industry.

While fans and insiders speculated, several Bollywood celebrities publicly supported Deepika, including Ajay Devgn and Kajol. Now, joining the conversation is top filmmaker Kabir Khan, who has come out firmly in Deepika’s defense.

In a recent interview, Kabir—known for directing hits like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Ek Tha Tiger, and 83—argued that male stars like Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar have long been working 8-hour shifts and questioned why Deepika shouldn’t expect the same treatment.

“If a director wants longer work hours, there needs to be a justified reason. Otherwise, it’s that simple—respect the time and comfort of the artist,” he stated.

Regarding the much-discussed Rs. 25 crore pay demand, Kabir emphasized that remuneration should be based on market value and star power, regardless of gender. “Whoever brings audiences to the theatre—actor, actress, or director—deserves to be paid accordingly,” he concluded.

As the Spirit controversy continues to simmer, Kabir Khan’s balanced take adds weight to the argument for gender parity and professionalism in the Indian film industry.

Re-Releases Rule Telugu Theatres Again Amid Box Office Dry Spell

Re-Releases Dominate Telugu Theatres Again Amid New Release Drought

With exhibitors in the Telugu states already struggling to draw crowds, the lack of strong new releases is adding more pressure to the box office. Last week’s major release, Thug Life, failed to make a mark, leaving fans and theater owners disappointed.

This week, the situation hasn’t improved. Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu was initially scheduled for release but has been postponed again, leaving the weekend without any notable big-screen debut. A handful of small-budget films did hit theatres, but none created buzz or drew significant footfalls.

In the absence of major new content, re-releases are once again ruling the box office. Romantic drama Andala Rakshasi (2012), directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, made its return to theatres today. Known for its soulful music and cult following among millennials, the film is reportedly pulling decent crowds in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, disappointed by the delay of HHVM, Pawan Kalyan fans are revisiting his classic love story Tholi Prema, which has been re-released once more. Adding to the nostalgia trip, Ravi Teja’s iconic comedy Venky has also returned to theaters and is attempting to recreate some of its original box office magic.

June continues to be a testing month for exhibitors, who are eagerly awaiting a commercial success. All hopes are now pinned on the upcoming release of Kubera, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, which is set to arrive in theaters next Friday.

Nagarjuna Predicts Major Slump in Telugu Film Industry: “A Fourth One Is Coming”

Agarjuna Predicts a Slump in Telugu Film Industry: “A Fourth One Is Coming”

Veteran actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has made a bold prediction about the future of Tollywood, suggesting that the industry is heading toward another major setback. As the star actively promotes his upcoming film Kuberaa, which also stars Dhanush, he opened up in a candid interview with Bharadwaj Rangan for Galatta Plus.

When asked about the perception that Bollywood is struggling while South Indian cinema is thriving, Nagarjuna offered a balanced take. “These narratives keep changing. It’s like an actor or director going through a rough patch,” he said, noting that a string of non-performing films can unfairly define an entire industry.

But the most striking comment came when he turned the lens inward: “The Telugu film industry has gone through a slump three times in my experience—and I strongly feel a fourth one is on the way,” Nagarjuna said. He explained that such slumps typically occur when there are long gaps between big releases and the existing films fail to perform at the box office. “I have a strong hunch,” he concluded.

With Kuberaa and Coolie—both featuring Nagarjuna in key roles—gearing up for release, the star’s remarks have sparked serious discussion within industry circles and among fans.
