Sivakarthikeyan on Cloud Nine After Rajinikanth Praises His Performance in Madharaasi

Actor Sivakarthikeyan’s latest film Madharaasi, directed by AR Murugadoss, has been the talk of Kollywood. The action entertainer stars Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, while Vidyut Jammwal plays the antagonist.

At the Tamil Nadu box office, the film enjoyed a strong opening, though it struggled to make the same impact in the Telugu states. But for Sivakarthikeyan, the highlight of the week wasn’t the numbers—it was the appreciation he received from his lifelong idol, Superstar Rajinikanth.

Taking to Instagram, SK shared his joy: “Just received the appreciation for Madharaasi from my idol, my Thalaivar Superstar Rajinikanth sir.”

Rajinikanth’s heartfelt words left him overwhelmed: “My god, excellent! Enna performance! Enna actions! Super super SK! Enakku romba pudichirundhadhu. Action hero aagiteenga. God bless, God bless.” The veteran even ended his note with his iconic laugh, a moment Sivakarthikeyan says he’ll treasure forever.

The Amaran star admitted he was on Cloud Nine, equating the praise to a Rs. 1000 crore milestone. Fans joined in the celebration, flooding social media with love and congratulatory messages, making this a career-defining moment for SK.

Actress Anupama Parameswaran is gearing up for her upcoming release, Kishkindhapuri, which is scheduled to hit theaters on September 12, 2025.

Given its fresh concept and rising anticipation, Kishkindhapuri could well mark a turning point in Anupama’s career.

Son of Sardaar 2 OTT Release Date: Ajay Devgn’s Film to Stream on Netflix Soon

After the success of Raid 2, Bollywood star Ajay Devgn returned this year with another sequel, Son of Sardaar 2. Unlike its predecessor, the comedy-drama failed to create buzz, as the trailers received a lukewarm response. The film opened to mixed-to-poor reviews and eventually struggled at the box office.

The digital streaming rights of Son of Sardaar 2 have been acquired by Netflix, and the movie is expected to premiere on the platform on September 26, 2025. However, an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.

Directed by acclaimed cinematographer Vijay Kumar Arora, the film stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead opposite Ajay Devgn. Produced jointly by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande under Devgn Films and Jio Studios, the ensemble cast also features Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, and Chunky Panday in pivotal roles.

Notably, Son of Sardaar 2 also marks the final on-screen appearance of Mukul Dev, adding an emotional touch to the film’s legacy.

Bellamkonda Sreenivas Reacts Gracefully to Mirai vs Kishkindhapuri Box Office Clash

This Friday, Tollywood is set for an exciting box office clash as two much-awaited films – Mirai and Kishkindhapuri – release on the same day. While Teja Sajja’s Mirai promises a fantasy action-adventure, Bellamkonda Sreenivas’ Kishkindhapuri dives into the world of horror and mystery.

Earlier, Sreenivas had voiced his displeasure about the clash, mentioning that the Mirai team could have informed them before announcing their release. However, during a recent interaction with social media influencers, the actor struck a far more gracious tone.

He said, “The Mirai team has also put in immense effort. Manoj Garu, Teja, and Karthik Gattamneni are good friends of mine. I genuinely wish both films entertain audiences and emerge successful.”

Sreenivas further added, “We announced our release date first, but due to certain circumstances, the Mirai team also had to arrive on September 12. I personally feel that clashes can be avoided with better planning, which will ultimately benefit the industry. There are times when theatres lack new content – such gaps could be filled with proper scheduling.”

Netizens are praising Sreenivas for handling the situation with maturity and positivity, without belittling the competing film. With strong promotions for Kishkindhapuri already in place, it remains to be seen whether both films can make their mark at the box office this weekend.

The Mahabharata is not just mythology—it’s the greatest epic ever told, filled with moral dilemmas, timeless lessons, and larger-than-life characters. Now, Netflix India is set to bring this legendary tale to a new generation with its first-ever mythological series, Kurukshetra.

Planned as a two-part saga with nine episodes each, the series premieres on October 10, 2025. Unlike traditional retellings, Kurukshetra unfolds through the eyes of 18 warriors, each struggling with loyalty, duty, revenge, and the personal sacrifices demanded by a war that turned brothers into enemies.

The series is created by Anu Sikka, produced under the Tipping Point banner by Sikka, Alok Jain, and Ajit Andhare. Written and directed by Ujaan Ganguly, the show also features poetic verses crafted by legendary lyricist Gulzar.

“The battle of Kurukshetra is timeless – a clash of destiny, duty, and moral choices,” says creator Anu Sikka. “Through animation and layered storytelling, we hope to explore these 18 days with depth and perspective, making them accessible to audiences across India and beyond.”

With cutting-edge visuals and a fresh narrative lens, Kurukshetra promises to be one of Netflix India’s most ambitious projects, redefining how the Mahabharata is experienced on screen.

Little Hearts Box Office Success: Jagapathi Babu’s Missed Role and Hidden Contribution

Little Hearts, a small-budget rom-com starring Mouli, Tanuj Prashanth, and Shivani Nagaram, is proving to be a surprise winner at the box office. With positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth, the film is not only doing well on weekends but is also holding strong on weekdays.

Interestingly, Rajeev Kanakala played Mouli’s father in the film, but director Sai Marthand recently revealed that Jagapathi Babu was the first choice for the role. Although Jagapathi Babu liked the script, he couldn’t take up the role due to personal reasons.

However, the veteran actor still left his mark on the project. He pointed out a crucial flaw in the story during narration, which helped the team refine the script and make it stronger. Director Sai Marthand expressed gratitude, saying that Jagapathi Babu’s feedback played a vital role in shaping Little Hearts into the youthful entertainer it has become today.
