Some heroes have some fetishes and always they end up showing that in their movies. For example, Mass Raja Raviteja is a huge fan of Hindi because he has grown up in Mumbai for years and also he is a huge fan of Amitabh Bachhan too. For that reason, he comes up with lots of Big B and Bollywood touch in most of his film.
Even in his latest movie Disco Raja, Raviteja appears as a don in Chennai but a huge fan of vintage disco songs of Bollywood and Amitabh Bachhan. Not only he uses these Hindi songs, but also he speaks Hindi dialogues at times with his villains and others. Despite the fact that Tamilians (at least of the 80s) never loved Hindi or Hindi speaking persons, Raviteja is shown growing as a don in Madras in the 80s quite easily. These logicless character arcs don’t work as audiences are quite intelligent about the facts these days.
Also, the new generation of the audience is not connecting to that Amitabh Bachhan and Bollywood bhajana here. Back then, Raviteja did a similar kind of Bhajana in many movies including Don Seenu and others without understanding the fact the Telugu audiences of the modern day are not even a remote fan of Big B. Maybe the mass star should give up that Bollywood pichhi to make sure that his films work.

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 Nationwide Promotions
Senior actor Nandamuri Balakrishna is on a whirlwind promotional tour for his much-awaited film Akhanda 2, which is gearing up for a massive release across India on December 5th. After aggressively promoting the film in Vizag, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Chikkaballapur, the team reached Chennai this evening to interact with Tamil media.
During the press meet, Balakrishna made an emotional connection with the Tamil audience. Speaking in fluent Tamil, he said Madras (now Chennai) is his Janmabhoomi, while Telangana is his Karmabhoomi and Andhra Pradesh is his Atmabhoomi. He fondly recalled his childhood memories in Madras and shared anecdotes about his association with legendary Kollywood actors.
Balakrishna expressed pride in completing 50 years as an actor and confirmed that he will continue playing lead roles for years to come. Confident about the film’s success, he said that Akhanda 2 will continue the strong streak he set with Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagavanth Kesari, and Daaku Maharaj. He also stated that he has consciously stopped doing routine films and is always focused on offering fresh, powerful, and meaningful content to the audience.
Director Boyapati Srinu, who accompanied Balakrishna, revealed that key sequences were shot amidst crores of devotees at the Mahakumbh Mela, making it one of the most challenging and grand filming experiences of their careers.
With the first Akhanda becoming a blockbuster during the pandemic, expectations on the sequel are sky-high. The film’s theme, scale, and genre have strong nationwide appeal, and Akhanda 2 is set for a significant North India release—much bigger than the first part.
