Megastar Chiranjeevi is all set to return to the big screen with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (MSG), directed by Anil Ravipudi. Sharing screen space with him is Nayanthara, who plays the female lead, adding her elegance to the project.

The film’s shoot is currently progressing in Hyderabad, and a new buzz has caught the attention of fans. Reports suggest that the first single from MSG might be released in the first week of October. Rumors further hint that it will be a romantic number carrying the flavor of the popular “Godari Gattu Meeda” track from Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. While this has stirred excitement, an official confirmation is still awaited.

Jointly produced by Sahu Garapati’s Shine Screens and Sushmita Konidela’s Gold Box Entertainments, the film has music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo. The makers have already announced Sankranthi 2026 as the release date, setting the stage for a grand festive treat for audiences.

Sabdham OTT Release Update: Aadhi Pinisetty’s Horror Thriller Still Awaited

0

Six months ago, Aadhi Pinisetty returned to the horror thriller genre with Sabdham, directed by Arivazhagan Venkatachalam. Despite high expectations from their reunion after the blockbuster Eeram (Vaishali in Telugu), the film received mixed reviews and couldn’t make a strong mark at the box office.

Although it has been quite some time since Sabdham was released in theatres, the movie is still missing from OTT platforms. This prolonged delay has left movie buffs frustrated, as there is still no official update regarding its digital premiere. Earlier, reports suggested that the film would arrive on Prime Video on March 28, 2025, but that never happened. The lack of clarity from both the makers and the streaming platform has only added to fans’ disappointment.

Produced by Siva and S. Banupriya Siva under 7G Films and Alpha Frames, Sabdham revolves around paranormal investigator Ruben (played by Aadhi Pinisetty), who probes a series of mysterious deaths in a medical college. Lakshmi Menon plays the female lead, while Simran, Laila, Arthi Ashwin, M.S. Bhaskar, and Redin Kingsley appear in key roles. The film’s music is composed by SS Thaman.

Fans now eagerly await an official announcement on when Sabdham will finally make its OTT debut.

Shrashti Varma Becomes First Eliminated Contestant in Bigg Boss Season 9

The first week of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9, hosted by hero Nagarjuna, has officially come to an end, marking the season’s very first elimination. Choreographer Shrashti Varma was evicted from the house, making her the first contestant to exit the show this season.

Interestingly, many viewers had expected another female contestant to be eliminated, but the surprise decision sent Shrashti out instead.

Before entering the house, Shrashti had shared that everyone—including herself—wears a mask in the outside world, but in shows like Bigg Boss, one’s true personality eventually comes out. She also noted that while contestants may manage to act for a couple of weeks, maintaining a façade becomes impossible over time.

This season of Bigg Boss stands out as it gives equal importance to commoners along with celebrities. A total of nine celebrities and six commoners stepped into the house. Among the nominated contestants, Sanjana and Tanuja survived elimination this week.

Manchu Manoj Impresses as The Black Sword in Mirai

Mirai marks the first collaboration between young star Teja Sajja and director Kartik Gattamneni, and the film is enjoying a successful run at the box office. The audience’s response has been very positive, leaving the makers thrilled.

One of the biggest highlights of the movie is Manchu Manoj’s performance as Mahabir Lama, also known as The Black Sword. Sharing screen space with Teja Sajja, Manoj brings a commanding presence and unique style to the character. His intense performance, coupled with sharp dialogue delivery, makes The Black Sword one of the most memorable antagonists in recent Telugu cinema.

Critics and fans alike have praised the way Manoj’s role elevates the hero’s journey, with many dubbing this new phase of his career as “Manchu Manoj 2.0.” Viewers are even urging him to take up more powerful villain roles in the future.

Alongside Manoj and Teja Sajja, the film features Shriya Saran, Ritika Nayak, Jagapathi Babu, Jayaram, and several others in key roles. Backed by People Media Factory, the movie’s music is composed by Gowra Hari, further enriching the fantasy action drama.

Teja Sajja’s Next Film: Zombie Reddy 2 Sequel Officially in the Works

0

Young hero Teja Sajja has quickly become one of the most discussed names in Telugu cinema. After scoring a blockbuster with Hanu-Man during Sankranti 2024, many wondered if he could replicate the success. He silenced all doubts with Mirai, which opened strongly and impressed both critics and audiences. Now, all eyes are on his next move.

Teja is all set to headline the sequel to his 2021 hit Zombie Reddy, which marked Telugu cinema’s first zombie film. Directed by Prashant Varma, the original started small but went on to become a surprise box-office success and found further love on OTT and TV.

While producer Naga Vamsi was initially expected to bankroll the sequel, the project is now being mounted on a bigger scale by TG Vishwa Prasad under the People Media Factory banner. Prashant Varma will serve as the scriptwriter and showrunner, while the direction is likely to be handled by Bollywood filmmaker Suparn Verma, known for The Family Man and Rana Naidu. An official confirmation is awaited.

Interestingly, Zombie Reddy 2 is expected to go on floors before the sequel to Mirai, titled Mirai – Jaithraya. The official announcement about the sequel will be made very soon.

Teja Sajja’s filmography is taking an exciting turn as three of his projects – Zombie Reddy, Hanu-Man, and Mirai – are now spawning sequels. Although he won’t be the lead in Jai Hanuman, his rise as a bankable star with franchise potential is undeniable.

Mirai First Weekend Box Office: Teja Sajja’s Fantasy Saga Grosses Rs. 81.2 Crore Worldwide

0

Mirai, the action-adventure fantasy saga that brings together young star Teja Sajja and director Karthik Gattamneni for the first time, has emerged as a sensational blockbuster. The film also features Manchu Manoj in a powerful antagonist role.

In just three days, Mirai stormed the global box office with a whopping Rs. 81.2 crore gross. With ticket sales already soaring, all eyes are now on Monday’s collections. If the film manages to cross Rs. 20 crore today, it will swiftly enter the coveted Rs. 100 crore club.

The fantasy spectacle also stars Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran, Jagapathi Babu, Jayaram, and Sriram Reddy in pivotal roles. Backed by People Media Factory, the film’s music is composed by Gowra Hari.

Little Hearts Box Office Run Extends; OTT Release Pushed Back

0

The sensational blockbuster Little Hearts, starring Mouli Tanuj Prashanth and Shivani Nagaram, continues to pull crowds to theatres even after the release of new films like Mirai and Kishkindhapuri. This youthful entertainer has already grossed over Rs. 32 crores and is now eyeing the Rs. 40 crore milestone. Directed by Sai Marthand, the film has turned out to be a massive crowd-pleaser.

On the digital front, ETV Win holds the post-theatrical streaming rights. However, in a surprising move, the film’s OTT release is unlikely to follow the usual four-week theatrical window observed in Tollywood. According to a recent report by OTT Play, ETV Win, which is also part of the production, has decided to delay the digital premiere by at least one to two weeks.

If these reports turn out to be true, Little Hearts will remain in theatres until Diwali 2025, giving it more time to rake in box office revenues. Such an extension could potentially make the industry rethink the traditional four-week window for OTT releases in Telugu cinema.

The film also features Rajeev Kanakala, Jay Krishna, Anita Chowdhary, SS Kanchi, and Sathya Krishnan in pivotal roles. Music is composed by Sinjith Yerramilli, while distribution is being handled by Vamsi Nandipati and Bunny Vas.

With music by the sensational Anirudh Ravichander and production by Sudhakar Cherukuri, The Paradise is shaping up to be a true pan-Indian spectacle. The film is locked for a grand theatrical release on March 26, 2026.

Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’ Kishkindhapuri Emerges a Surprise Hit at the Box Office

0

Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’ latest film, Kishkindhapur, is surprising everyone at the box office. Released alongside the much-hyped Mirai, many expected the horror thriller to struggle. But contrary to predictions, the film is running strong and proving to be a winner.

What’s even more impressive is the trend in collections. Day three numbers have surpassed day two, which were already higher than the opening day. Such upward momentum is rare in Tollywood and shows the kind of love Kishkindhapuri is receiving from audiences. Despite heavy competition from Mirai and the blockbuster Little Hearts, the film has held its ground and is heading toward solid hit status.

Made on a budget of ₹32 crores, the movie has already recovered most of its investment through non-theatrical deals worth ₹28 crores. With theatrical rights valued at ₹8 crores, Kishkindhapuri grossed ₹15 crores in its opening weekend alone. Break-even is already achieved, and buyers are set to make good profits.

This marks a strong comeback for Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, who has been waiting for a hit since Rakshasudu. The film also puts producer Sahu Garapati back in the game after the underwhelming Laila. The Monday noon and matinee shows opened well, signaling a steady long run.

Anupama Parameswaran stars as the female lead. Trade analysts predict Kishkindhapuri could touch ₹30 crores gross by the end of its full run, making it one of the surprise hits of the season.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan has wrapped up his part in the much-awaited film Ustad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar. Ever since their blockbuster Gabbar Singh, expectations have been sky-high for this mass action entertainer.

Despite his busy political schedule, Pawan Kalyan reportedly displayed extraordinary commitment during the recent massive shooting schedule, winning praise from the entire team.

Director Harish Shankar, along with the cast and crew, has completed a major portion of the talkie part. The makers confirmed that the shoot is progressing smoothly, with post-production work set to begin soon.

Ustad Bhagat Singh boasts a stellar technical crew, including Devi Sri Prasad scoring the music, the Ram-Laxman duo handling high-voltage action choreography, Ayananka Bose on cinematography, Neeta Lulla as costume designer, and Anand Sai as art director.

On the casting front, the film stars Sreeleela and Raashi Khanna as the female leads, alongside a powerful supporting lineup featuring Parthiban, K.S. Ravikumar, LB Sriram, Ramki, Prabhas Srinu, Satyam Rajesh, Nawab Shah, Mir Sarwar, and others.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: Shrashti Varma Eliminated in Week 1, Bharani Becomes First Permanent Owner

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Week 1: Shrashti Varma Eliminated, Bharani Becomes Permanent Owner

The first elimination of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is here! As expected, popular choreographer Shrashti Varma was evicted after failing to impress the audience in her debut week. Despite her fame outside the house, she couldn’t connect much with viewers and received the fewest votes.

In Saturday’s episode, host Nagarjuna schooled several housemates for their behavior, especially Manish and Priya. At one point, when Priya forgot an incident involving Ramu Rathod and Shrashti, Nag quipped, “You are a doctor, take medicine for forgetfulness,” leaving everyone in splits.

Sunday’s episode was more colorful, with Teja Sajja and Ritika Nayak gracing the stage to promote their blockbuster Mirai. They entertained both the audience and housemates by playing fun games and making contestants dance.

Later, Nag announced a special task to determine the first permanent owner of the house. The contestants were split into two teams – Red (Bharani, Ramu Rathod, Shrashti Varma, Tanuja) and Blue (Sanjana, Emmanuel, Ritu Chaudhary, Suman Shetty), with Flora Shiney acting as the sanchalak.

The task involved collecting, stamping, and securing papers in ballot boxes while blocking the rival team. Intense clashes broke out, with Bharani aggressively targeting Blue team members. Sanjana’s mistake of leaving papers visible gave the Red team an edge, and they eventually won.

Finally, after voting, Bharani was chosen as the first permanent owner of the house. He also gained the power to appoint an assistant and chose Tanuja for the role.

With eliminations, drama, promotions, and heated tasks, Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is slowly picking up momentum for the weeks ahead.

Manchu Manoj Shines as Black Sword in Mirai: A Career-Defining Antagonist Role

0

Manchu Manoj shines as Black Sword in Mirai, redefining his career path

Rocking Star Manchu Manoj, who made his comeback earlier this year with Bhairavam, faced criticism for his exaggerated dialogue delivery and unnecessary modulations. Since the film was a remake with multiple leads, Manoj couldn’t fully showcase his potential, leaving audiences underwhelmed.

However, the tables turned with Mirai, which was released yesterday. Manoj played the antagonist Black Sword, locking horns with Teja Sajja, and his performance has been receiving solid appreciation. Unlike his earlier outings, Manoj avoided over-the-top dramatics and delivered a balanced, stylish portrayal of the villain. His efforts to refine his craft are clearly paying off, and the role is already being hailed as a turning point in his second innings.

With back-to-back negative roles in Bhairavam and Mirai, Manoj seems to be carving a niche as a formidable on-screen villain. If this acceptance continues, he could fill the gap in Tollywood for stylish Telugu-speaking antagonists—similar to how Jagapathi Babu reinvented himself with Legend.

That said, Manoj is not restricting himself to villain roles alone. He has also signed What the Fish, where he plays the lead protagonist. However, the film’s progress has been kept tightly under wraps.

For now, Mirai has given Manchu Manoj the much-needed momentum to explore diverse and challenging roles in the future.

Mirai Director Reveals How Bird Sampathi Was Created Using Animatronics

0

Teja Sajja’s superhero spectacle Mirai is continuing its strong box-office run, competing head-to-head with Kishkindhapuri, while Little Hearts also shines in cinemas. One of the biggest talking points from Mirai has been the breathtaking visual effects, particularly the creation of the mystical bird Sampathi, which has received a hugely positive response from audiences.

While many assumed Sampathi was fully CGI, director Karthik Ghattamaneni clarified the truth behind the visual wonder.

“We didn’t make Sampathi entirely in CGI. It was created using animatronics, designed like a real bird and operated with a remote control,” revealed Karthik.

Interestingly, he added that there is only one expert in animatronics in India, working out of Mumbai, who built a massive bird-like model specifically for Mirai. The sequences between Teja Sajja and Sampathi were filmed near Shamshabad, with the bird responding to remote-controlled movements.

Karthik also spoke about the challenges of shooting the underwater sequence featuring Teja and Sampathi:

“That underwater sequence is the proudest cheat I pulled off in Mirai. Since we couldn’t find a pool big enough to fit the bird, we filmed the shots separately and scaled them down. Thankfully, audiences loved it without noticing the trick.”

A Hyderabad-based VFX team handled the rest of the visual effects, seamlessly blending CGI with animatronics to bring Sampathi’s presence alive on screen. The technical brilliance has been widely appreciated, further elevating the film’s grand scale.

Produced by People Media Factory, Mirai released on Friday and is riding high on box-office success as well as critical acclaim for its technical mastery.

Mirai Makers to Reintroduce Vibe Vundi Song After Fan Demand

0

The chartbuster “Vibe Vundi”, the first single from Mirai, created waves even before the film’s release. The peppy, high-energy track became an instant social media sensation, sparking countless reels, dance covers, and fan edits. Kids and youth, in particular, connected strongly with the song, making it one of the movie’s biggest pre-release highlights.

But when Mirai finally released in theatres, fans were left shocked and disappointed—the much-loved “Vibe Vundi” track was missing from the film’s final cut. Many moviegoers, especially children who came in expecting to see the song on the big screen, felt let down. Social media quickly filled with reactions pointing out how the absence of the song took away one of the film’s expected high points.

According to reports, director Karthik Ghattamaneni and his team decided to remove the song for narrative reasons, as they felt its placement could disrupt the superhero film’s pacing and intensity.

However, here’s the twist—industry buzz now suggests that the makers are planning to reintroduce “Vibe Vundi” into Mirai from the second week. Trade circles believe that this strategic move could attract family audiences and kids back to theatres, boosting repeat footfalls.

With Mirai already performing like a blockbuster at the box office, adding “Vibe Vundi” back into the theatrical cut could reignite excitement and help the film sustain its momentum even further. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if the team officially confirms this big update.

Vijay Antony’s Bhadrakali Trailer Promises a Gripping Political Thriller

0

Vijay Antony, fresh off the decent response to Maargan, is back with yet another intriguing project. This time, he steps into the world of politics with his new film Bhadrakali, a political thriller directed by Arun Prabhu of Aruvi and Vaazh fame.

The trailer of Bhadrakali has instantly sparked curiosity with its gripping cut. Set in the murky corridors of politics, the film showcases a world filled with politicians, government officials, ministers, foreign ambassadors, and more. But the striking point is that all of them are connected by one mysterious link—the character played by Vijay Antony.

Interestingly, Vijay Antony doesn’t appear immediately in the trailer. Instead, the edit teases his character by showing how every major figure seems obsessed or troubled by him. He is labeled as everything from a pimp, gangster, and corrupt man, yet remains the central figure in this thrilling political web. The trailer promises a fast-paced narrative packed with suspense and drama, hinting at a rooted, hard-hitting political thriller—something Tamil cinema has always excelled at.

Whether Bhadrakali turns into a much-needed blockbuster for Vijay Antony will also depend on his promotional push. For Maargan, his promotional efforts were comparatively lower, but with Bhadrakali, the stakes are higher and the curiosity is real.

The film stars Vaagai Chandrasekar, Sunil Kripalani, Cell Murugan, Trupthi Ravindra, Kiran, Rini, Riya Jithu, and Master Keshav in pivotal roles. Shelley R. Calist handles the cinematography, while Vijay Antony himself has composed the music. The movie is jointly produced by Sarvanth Ram Creations, Ramanjaneyulu Javvaji Productions, and Vijay Antony Film Corporation.

Adding to the curiosity, reports suggest that the film’s runtime is locked at around 2 hours and 30 minutes, though official confirmation on both runtime and certification is still awaited.

With just 10 days left for release, the hype surrounding OG is at an all-time high. The film also stars Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and Shaam in pivotal roles.
