While Prabhas will next be seen in the mythological magnum opus, ‘Adipurush’, one of the most expensive films to be made in India, he will also appear in Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi ‘Project K’.

The high-octane action-thriller ‘Salaar’, Sandeep Vanga’s ‘Spirit’, and a comedy entertainer with Maruthi are the upcoming movies Prabhas will be a part of.

Prashanth Neel, on the other hand, will direct Jr NTR for another action movie, after his completion of ‘Salaar’.

Seventeen’s ‘Face the Sun’ album sets record, sells 2 mn copies in a week

Seoul, June 4 K-pop boy group Seventeen’s fourth full-length album has sold more than 2 million copies in the first week of its release, a record for all albums released this year, the group’s agency said on Friday.

‘Face the Sun’ has sold 2,067,769 units since it hit music stores a week ago, Pledis Entertainment said, citing data from Hanteo Chart, a local album sales tracker. It was the most first-week sales of all albums released this year to date, reports Yonhap News Agency, quoting Pledis.

The album had widely been expected to become a big hit, as it sold 1.75 million copies on the day of its release, well over the group’s personal first-week sales record set with its ninth EP, ‘Attacca’.

‘Face the Sun’ has become the band’s sixth album to have sold more than 1 million copies with its third full-length album, ‘An Ode’, being the first one upon its release in September 2019.

“BTS and Seventeen are the only artists in K-pop history to have scored more than 1 million copies on the first day of releasing an album and more than 2 million copies in a week,” Pledis said in a release.

‘Face the Sun’, which portrays the band’s hope to become an existing presence as essential as the sun in the world, consists of nine group songs without solo or unit numbers.

Debuting in May 2015, Seventeen has become one of the top K-pop groups with hit songs such as ‘Very Nice’, ‘Pretty U’, ‘Oh My!’ and ‘To You’. The 13-piece group is set to hold its third world tour starting on June 25-26 in Seoul.

‘9 Hours’: Taraka Ratna headlines bank heist thriller set in the ’80s

Hyderabad, June 4 The series titled ‘9 Hours’, which is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, is based on a fictional story written by Malladi Venkata Krishna Murthy in the 1980s.

The series’ story is also set in the ’80s.

The story begins with the introduction of a jail breakout. Three inmates of Hyderabad’s Central Jail not only break out from the jail but also try to rob a large sum of money from a bank branch.

When targeted by the police, with no other option, the robbers try to take advantage of the situation by threatening to kill the bank’s hostages if the police engage in action. The cops (led by Taraka Ratna’s character) are on edge as a result of this.

Taraka Ratna’s character, an irritable cop, enters the scene and attempts to control the situation. The basic plot of the show revolves around how he will save everyone.

Coming to roles and performances in ‘9 Hours’, everyone appears to be very involved. The series has no particular hero, heroine, or antagonist.

Thanks to showrunner Krish Jagarlamudi, the casting proves to be capable. The series spans a wide range of performances, from expected (Taraka Ratna, Vinod Kumar, and Banerjee as cops) to unexpected (Ajay and Madhu Shalini have compelling character arcs), from supporting (Preethi Asrani, Ankith Koyya, Sameer, and Raj Madiraju) to cliched (Ravi Varma, Jwala Koti).

The setting, production design, star cast, and visuals are all very realistic and add to the show’s overall appeal.

Overall, ‘9 Hours’ is a suspenseful hostage drama with a few tense moments. The viewing experience for viewers improves as well-known actors play key roles. This web series ends as a passable watch this weekend if you ignore the lengthy runtime.
