Speaking at CCXP Mexico 2026, acclaimed filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli revealed that Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, stands as the most ambitious film of his career. He shared that dreaming on a grand scale has always been integral to his filmmaking journey.

Star Boy Siddhu Jonnalagadda is on a roll with an exciting lineup of projects, and his upcoming Netflix web series is one of the most anticipated among them. Backed by Sithara Entertainments — which has already signed Siddhu for multiple ventures — the series is already generating strong buzz across the industry.
Director Venky Atluri is helming the project, marking his first-ever foray into the OTT space. Currently in pre-production, the series has now locked Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead opposite Siddhu — a pairing that is sure to generate plenty of excitement among fans.
What makes this project even more special is that it doubles up as a triple OTT debut — bringing together Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Venky Atluri, and Meenakshi Chaudhary on the digital platform for the very first time, all under one roof.

NTR & Prashanth Neel’s Film Gets a New Release Date — First Glimpse Locked!
Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s highly anticipated collaboration is one of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema right now. Originally scheduled for June 25, 2026, the film has now been officially postponed as a significant portion of the shoot remains incomplete, making the earlier release date practically unachievable.
Jr NTR himself took to social media to confirm the delay, putting an end to all speculation. The film has been pushed by nearly a year and is now locked for June 11, 2027 — meaning the project will take close to four years from its announcement to finally reach the big screens.
Birthday Treat for Fans
While the postponement has understandably left fans disappointed, there is a silver lining. Jr NTR announced that the film’s first glimpse will be unveiled on May 20, 2026, coinciding with his birthday — giving fans something exciting to look forward to in the meantime.
Announcement Poster Turns Heads
The announcement poster has already set the internet on fire. It presents Jr NTR in a rugged, warrior-like avatar — muscular build, thick beard, and a razor-sharp, intense expression — strongly hinting at a massive action spectacle in the making.
Produced jointly by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, the film features Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, with Ravi Basrur composing the music. The project is currently being referred to as Dragon, and expectations are only growing with every passing day.
Vijay Deverakonda teams up with director Shouryuv!
Vijay Deverakonda is set to star in a new film directed by Shouryuv, the man behind the hit Hi Nanna. The pairing has already got fans excited.
Shouryuv made a strong impression with Hi Nanna, which was loved for its emotional story. After that, he developed a script for Jr NTR, but the project fell through. Several other attempts also did not work out. Now he has found his next lead in Deverakonda.
The director recently met Vijay and narrated a new story. Vijay liked it and gave his go-ahead. The film is described as a romantic family drama with a dark undertone — a genre that is relatively new territory for Vijay.
Shooting will not begin anytime soon, though. Vijay is currently occupied with projects including Ranabaali, so the new film is expected to go on floors only in 2027. In the meantime, Shouryuv has begun pre-production work, focusing on casting and other preparations.
Peddi may release on June 4, 2026!

Most of the important parties are now on the same page. An official announcement has not been made yet, but a decision is expected soon. Once confirmed, promotions will kick off.
Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor star in the film.

The movie will not be released only in Hindi but will also be released at the same time in Telugu and Tamil, reaching a wider audience. Reports say the film is being made with a huge budget of over ₹450 crore, showing its grand scale.
More details about the film’s story, visuals, and promotions are expected to be shared in the coming months.
