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.

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.

Directed by acclaimed cinematographer Vijay Kumar Arora, the film stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead opposite Ajay Devgn.

Bellamkonda Sreenivas Reacts Gracefully to Mirai vs Kishkindhapuri Box Office Clash

0

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.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG: Hindi Release Faces Setback Amid OTT Deal Rumors

0

Pawan Kalyan’s much-anticipated film, OG, directed by Sujeeth, is gearing up for a grand release on September 25. The action entertainer is carrying sky-high expectations, and the impressive bookings in the USA are proof of its hype.

However, a fresh update has left fans disappointed. Reports suggest that the Hindi version of OG might have a limited release due to prior OTT commitments.
