Hyderabad: అదుపులోకి రాని నాంపల్లి అగ్ని ప్రమాదం.. 20 గంటలుగా కొనసాగుతున్న రెస్క్యూ ఆపరేషన్

Star producer Dil Raju, traditionally known for his safe and calculated choices in the film industry, seems to be taking unprecedented risks with his 2026 movie lineup. Over the years, he has built a strong reputation by backing sensible stories and bankable star combinations. This year, however, his slate spans from Tollywood to Bollywood, featuring high-profile projects that come with significant challenges. While early buzz is promising, trade analysts caution that the box office journey may be far from smooth.

One of the most anticipated films is Rowdy Janardhana, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Ravi Kiran Kola. This raw, mass-action entertainer is crucial for Vijay, whose recent attempts to solidify a mass-image haven’t fully resonated with audiences. The film’s action-packed and violent tone has sparked curiosity, but whether it will connect with the public and cement Vijay’s “rowdy” persona remains uncertain.

Another bold experiment is Yellamma, where acclaimed music director Devi Sri Prasad is stepping in as the lead actor. Director Venu, praised for Balagam, is taking a risk by casting Devi as a hero. While the concept has generated early buzz, audience acceptance will ultimately determine its success or failure.
