Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is all set to set the screens ablaze with his upcoming gangster action drama ‘OG’ (Ojas Gambheera). If the latest updates are anything to go by, the film’s introduction sequence is expected to match the mass hysteria created by Superstar Rajinikanth’s iconic climax in ‘Jailer.’

Just like Rajinikanth’s powerful moments in Jailer drove fans into a frenzy, the makers of OG have planned a stylized and intense intro for Pawan Kalyan that will elevate his screen presence to new heights. The man behind this spectacle is Kevin Kumar, the stunt choreographer who worked on Jailer and who is now choreographing the action for OG.

Kevin shared his excitement on Instagram, writing:

“Epic stylish and raw INTRO ACTION SEQUENCE DONE… amazing and grateful to be working with the MASS hungry cheetah @pawankalyan Garu and the energetic krazy cheetah @sujeethsign and backed by the visionary and loving @manojinfilm sir.”

Directed by Sujeeth and produced by DVV Entertainment, OG tells the story of Ojas Gambheera, a feared gangster who returns to the criminal underworld of Mumbai after years of exile. The neo-noir gangster drama is expected to mix emotion, grit, and action with grand visuals and stylish execution.

Ram Charan’s “Peddi” – Emotional Drama with Franchise Potential?

Ram Charan’s “Peddi” Sets Stage for a Bigger Cinematic Universe

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is gearing up for one of the most ambitious projects of his career — the highly anticipated film “Peddi”. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film is already generating significant buzz for being more than just a standalone venture—it’s potentially the foundation for a larger cinematic universe.

Produced under a massive collaboration between Mythri Movie Makers, Vriddhi Cinemas, and Sukumar Writings, Peddi promises to blend mass appeal with emotionally rich storytelling. Ram Charan reportedly plays a rustic, intense character, and the film is expected to showcase a raw rural backdrop with strong emotional depth.

But that’s not all—insiders suggest that Peddi could become the launchpad for a multi-film franchise, inspired by its expansive narrative and versatile character arcs. This move positions Ram Charan not just as an actor but also as a long-term visionary for content expansion, potentially rivaling pan-Indian cinematic worlds.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, especially after the global success of RRR. Peddi could become a milestone in Tollywood’s evolution toward franchise-based storytelling.

Tollywood Turmoil: Pawan Kalyan vs Producers, Theatre Strike Sparks Industry Crisis

What’s Going On in Tollywood? Industry Faces Major Turmoil After Strike Drama

Tollywood is no stranger to action, on-screen and off. But this time, the drama has taken center stage off-screen, shaking the very foundations of the Telugu film industry. A chain reaction began in late May with the announcement of a statewide theater shutdown from June 1, causing ripples across the industry and culminating in a confrontation involving Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan.

Pawan Kalyan, whose long-delayed film Hari Hara Veera Mallu was scheduled for a June 12 release, took a strong stance against the strike. In a fiery statement, he accused producers of lacking dignity and gratitude, causing the strike to be called off swiftly.

Following this escalation, high-profile producers like Dil Raju and Allu Aravind held contrasting press conferences to explain the situation. While both denied sabotaging Kalyan’s film, their narratives revealed deep cracks within the industry’s leadership and communication.

The drama didn’t end there. Suniel Naga, president of the Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce, abruptly resigned, adding further instability. His resignation was followed by the Chamber Secretary urging top Telugu stars to take more responsibility for their films and the overall state of the industry.

All this comes at a time when Tollywood is already facing a decline in footfall and waning public interest in theatrical releases. Industry politics, poor communication, and ongoing disputes are now risking long-term damage to the reputation and viability of Telugu cinema.

Tollywood’s Comedy Comeback: Chiranjeevi, Prabhas & Ravi Teja Return to Entertain

Trend Revival: Tollywood Shifts Focus Back to Comedy Entertainers

In recent years, most Telugu cinema stars have chased pan-India stardom through large-scale action films, unintentionally sidelining the genre of comedy and family entertainers. However, the resounding success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam proved one thing loud and clear — audiences are eager for well-made comedy films, especially when led by top-tier actors. This success has inspired several star heroes to switch gears and return to their comedic roots, ushering in a much-needed genre revival in Tollywood.

Chiranjeevi Teams Up with Anil Ravipudi

After his blockbuster comeback, Megastar Chiranjeevi predominantly stuck to mass action entertainers. However, one of his greatest strengths has always been comedy. Now, he’s returning to his roots with a full-length comedy entertainer directed by Anil Ravipudi, known for his hit comedies. The film also stars Nayanthara as the female lead and is eyeing a Sankranthi 2026 release. Fans are thrilled to see Chiru back in a genre that made him iconic.

Prabhas Experiments with Horror-Romantic-Comedy in ‘The Raja Saab’

After delivering back-to-back action blockbusters like Baahubali, Saaho, Salaar, and Kalki, Prabhas is exploring a new space — a blend of horror, romance, and comedy. Titled The Raja Saab, the film is directed by Maruthi and is scheduled for a December 5, 2025 release. Featuring Nidhhi Agerwal and Malavika Mohanan as the leading ladies, the movie promises a refreshing change of tone for the pan-India star.

Venkatesh & Trivikram to Deliver a Classic Family Entertainer

Renowned for his comedic timing and family-friendly roles, Venkatesh is reuniting with celebrated writer-director Trivikram Srinivas for a complete family entertainer. Trivikram, who previously wrote for Venkatesh’s classics like Nuvvu Naaku Nachav and Malliswari, is set to bring that magic back to life. The film will go on floors later this year, and expectations are sky-high for this nostalgic collaboration.

Ravi Teja Returns to His Comic Best

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, known for his energetic comic timing, is returning to what he does best — commercial comedy entertainment. Following his 2022 hit Dhamaka, Ravi will be seen in two promising projects:

  • Mass Jathara—a full-on mass entertainer

  • A yet-to-be-titled film with Kishore Tirumala, rumored to be a wholesome comedy that appeals to audiences across age groups.

The shooting for Kishore’s film begins on June 16, and both films are aiming for a Sankranthi 2026 release, setting up an exciting festive clash.

2 Crore Vs 10 Crore: Rana Daggubati Reveals Why South Indian Films Thrive

2 Crores Vs 10 Crores: Rana Daggubati Breaks Down Bollywood’s Budget Burden

Rana Daggubati is one of the few South Indian actors who has successfully made a mark in North Indian cinema. With a strong presence in Telugu films and a decent run in Bollywood, Rana brings a unique perspective on how both industries function—and recently, he shared some hard-hitting truths about the cost dynamics between them.

In a candid discussion, Rana revealed the massive budget gap that exists between the South and North Indian film industries. He pointed out that in states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, a small film can be made for just ₹2 to ₹2.5 crore, with an additional ₹1 crore sufficient for marketing and distribution. In contrast, a similar film in Bollywood, especially in cities like Mumbai or Delhi, requires a minimum of ₹10 crore just to release and promote.

“Even a basic release in the North demands 10 crores or more. That’s why smaller films get no space to breathe—they vanish in a week,” said Rana.

He further explained that South Indian cinema benefits from better infrastructure, more theaters, and integrated studio-theater systems. Many production houses in the South also run their theater chains, which cut down distribution costs significantly and give even small or experimental films a chance to succeed.

Unlike Bollywood, where only big-star movies dominate the screens, the South nurtures a variety of stories and fresh talent, thanks to a more flexible and inclusive system.

While some in the Hindi film circuit might argue otherwise, Rana’s observations are rooted in real industry experience—and for many insiders, they’re hard to deny.

Pawan Kalyan Recommends Trivikram for Ram Charan’s Next? Mega Collaboration Buzz Builds

Pawan Kalyan Recommends Trivikram for Ram Charan’s Next? Mega Collaboration Buzz Builds

Until recently, director Trivikram Srinivas was closely associated with Allu Arjun’s next project—a high-budget mythological drama post-Pushpa 2. However, with Atlee stepping in for Bunny’s next venture, Trivikram had to put that plan on hold. In the meantime, he reportedly approached Victory Venkatesh for a possible collaboration.

But now, fresh rumors are taking over Tollywood circles—suggesting that Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is actively recommending Trivikram to team up with none other than Ram Charan.

Though reports of a Trivikram–Venkatesh film under Haarika & Haasine Creations were gaining traction, the sudden spotlight on a possible Ram Charan–Trivikram film has shifted attention. According to insiders, Ram Charan is currently immersed in Peddi and has officially signed his next with Sukumar. However, sources suggest that Sukumar’s script is still under development and lacks a final draft ready to roll.

Amid this uncertain timeline, Pawan Kalyan has reportedly stepped in, suggesting that Trivikram should move forward with Ram Charan’s film in the interim.

Adding to the speculation, Sitara Entertainments—known for backing Trivikram’s past ventures—has reportedly been eyeing this collaboration for a while. With a potential new production partner entering the picture, the project might finally gain momentum.

While no official confirmation has been made, insiders claim an announcement could drop soon. Meanwhile, Trivikram’s project with Venkatesh is still on track and remains unaffected by this new buzz.

Tharun Bhascker’s Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi 2 Update Amazes Fans

After the lukewarm response to Keeda Cola, many wondered what was next for director-turned-actor Tharun Bhascker. But instead of backing off, he’s doubled down on what fans truly want: the much-anticipated sequel to Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi.

Tharun, who gained instant popularity with Pelli Choopulu, struck a chord with millennials through his honest, relatable storytelling. However, it was Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi that cemented his place as a cult favorite, thanks to its chill vibe, hilarious characters, and realistic depiction of friendships.

The film, featuring Vishwak Sen, Abhinav Gomatam, Venkatesh Kakumanu, and Sushanth Reddy, became a rewatch classic. Its OTT run and even re-release numbers proved the fandom is still alive and kicking.

Recently, Tharun shared a cryptic photo on Instagram — just his laptop screen with “The End” displayed. No caption. No explanation. Yet that was enough to send his 400,000-strong Instagram following into a frenzy. It was the silent confirmation that the script for Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi 2 is complete.

Though there’s no word yet on filming or the returning cast, fans of Tharun’s signature storytelling — laid-back, raw, and filled with heart — are ready. The buzz is real, and if this teaser is any indication, Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi 2 might just be the reunion they’ve been waiting for.
