Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: JioCinema to Stream From August 22, House Split Between Celebrities and Commoners

The wait for Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is almost over. Ahead of the main season, a special pre-show titled Agnipariksha is being held in Hyderabad, hosted by Navdeep, Bindu Madhavi, and Abhijeet.

The makers have now confirmed that the reality show will stream exclusively on JioCinema/Hotstar from August 22, 2025. Adding to the excitement, the latest update reveals that the Bigg Boss house will be divided into two sections this season.

One section will feature only commoners, while the other will be home to celebrities. Reports suggest that the commoners’ side will include five or six fresh faces along with five contestants selected from the Agnipariksha pre-show.

This new experiment comes after a dull Bigg Boss 8 Telugu season, which struggled with low TRPs. To revive the buzz, the makers are banking on the clash between commoners and celebrities, setting the stage for what could be one of the most intense and entertaining seasons of Bigg Boss Telugu yet.

Kothapallilo Okappudu OTT Release: Aha Streams Rural Drama Backed by Rana Daggubati

The rural drama Kothapallilo Okappudu, released in theaters on July 18, 2025, is now streaming on Aha OTT. The film gained attention during its promotions as it was backed by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media and marked the directorial debut of Praveena Paruchuri, who also co-produced the project.

As announced earlier, Aha has launched the OTT premiere of Kothapallilo Okappudu today. However, the platform has given early access exclusively to Aha Gold subscribers, while regular users will be able to stream it starting tomorrow.

Despite notable performances from Manoj Chandra, Usha Bonela, and Ravindra Vijay, the movie could not create a big impact at the box office due to its weak execution. With its digital release on Aha, it remains to be seen whether the film receives a better response from home audiences.

On the technical side, the music was composed by Mani Sharma and Varun Unni, while Gopalakrishna Paruchuri and Praveena Paruchuri handled the production responsibilities under Spirit Media’s support.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu OTT Release: Pawan Kalyan’s Film Tops Prime Video India Charts

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s long-delayed pan-Indian film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Jyothi Krishna, had a rough journey at the box office. The historical action drama, which faced repeated postponements due to the actor’s political commitments, finally hit theaters on July 24. However, the film could not live up to expectations and ended up as a disappointment for fans and trade circles.

The movie has now taken a new route through its OTT release on Prime Video, streaming in multiple Indian languages. Surprisingly, within just a day of its digital premiere, Hari Hara Veera Mallu shot straight to the top spot on Prime Video India’s trending chart, proving that audiences were keen to catch it online despite its theatrical setback.

The film features Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan, while Bollywood star Bobby Deol plays the main antagonist. Backed by veteran producer AM Ratnam under Mega Surya Production, the movie boasts music composed by MM Keeravani.

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.

SSMB 29: Rajamouli & Mahesh Babu’s Action Adventure Goes Real in Nairobi with Priyanka Chopra

SS Rajamouli, the visionary filmmaker behind Magadheera, Eega, Baahubali, and RRR, is known for pushing the boundaries of grand visuals and groundbreaking VFX in Indian cinema. But for his upcoming film with Superstar Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB 29, Rajamouli seems to be taking a different, more realistic cinematic approach.

After wrapping up extensive schedules in India, the SSMB 29 team has now moved to Nairobi, Kenya, for the next schedule. The film’s leading lady, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, shared a glimpse of her African safari on Instagram. Her posts featured captivating pictures and videos of wildlife, including Hyenas, Hippopotamuses, Ostriches, and African Buffaloes.

These posts have sparked speculation among fans that Rajamouli is avoiding CGI-heavy sequences and instead focusing on shooting real animals and natural landscapes to give audiences an authentic jungle experience. Considering Rajamouli’s track record of visual brilliance, this shift has created massive excitement among fans worldwide.

As officially revealed, SSMB 29 is set to be a globe-trotting action-adventure drama, largely set against a forest backdrop. Apart from Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the movie also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in a crucial role. With Rajamouli at the helm, expectations are sky-high for this one-of-a-kind action spectacle.

Su From So, the latest Kannada blockbuster, is racing toward the ₹120 crore gross mark at the box office. Made on a minimal budget, the film’s extraordinary success has cemented its status as one of the biggest Kannada hits of 2025.

The film marks the directorial debut of J. P. Thuminad, who also played the lead role. Popular filmmaker-actor Raj B. Shetty not only played a crucial role but also produced the movie.

Now, exciting news has been confirmed — Jio Hotstar has officially acquired the digital streaming rights, while Colors Kannada has bagged the satellite rights. The Telugu version will be telecast on Star Maa. The total rights deal reportedly closed at ₹5.5 crore + GST across all languages, which is a solid figure for a film made on a modest budget.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu OTT Release: Trimmed Version of Pawan Kalyan Film Now Streaming on Prime Video

Pawan Kalyan’s epic period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu has now arrived on OTT. The film, which was released in theatres less than a month ago, premiered today on Amazon Prime Video — within just 27 days of its theatrical release.

Interestingly, the version released on OTT is not the original theatrical cut, but a trimmed and re-edited version with several changes.

When Hari Hara Veera Mallu first released in cinemas, it faced criticism for a few sequences that featured subpar VFX. Responding to the backlash, the makers corrected certain visual effects and re-released an updated version in theatres. However, the OTT version has gone a step further by completely removing the criticised sequences.

 The deleted portions include:

  • The horse-riding sequence

  • The scene where Pawan Kalyan aims an arrow while jumping in the air

In addition, netizens noticed that the climax was altered for the OTT cut. The movie now ends with a Part 2 announcement immediately after the “Asura Hananam” song, instead of the original extended climax. Reportedly, a few of Bobby Deol’s dialogues and action scenes were also chopped.

The final runtime of the OTT version is 153 minutes. Fans who missed the theatrical release can now watch the updated version directly on Prime Video.
