Chandrababu Naidu and Revanth Reddy Wrap Up Davos 2026 Visit

Share


The Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Chandrababu Naidu and Revanth Reddy respectively, have successfully concluded their visits to Switzerland after participating in the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos.

Chandrababu has already begun his journey back to India and is set to resume official duties in Amaravati at 11:30 AM. During his four-day Davos trip, he attended over 36 programmes, meeting with representatives from Israel, UAE, and Switzerland. At the WEF venue, he interacted with 16 leading industrialists, including Lakshmi Mittal (ArcelorMittal), Thomas Kurian (Google Cloud), and Arvind Krishna (IBM). Chandrababu highlighted Andhra Pradesh’s progress in green energy, artificial intelligence, agriculture, and tourism, while also engaging with the Telugu diaspora in Europe during the Telugu Diaspora programme.

Meanwhile, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy successfully showcased the state’s Telangana Rising 2047 Vision to the global audience. During his three-day visit, he secured investments in Global Capability Centres, Data Centres, Clean and Green Energy, and Manufacturing sectors. Multiple Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, and other strategic sectors. Revanth is expected to return to Hyderabad early tomorrow to resume his official duties.

Both leaders leveraged the WEF platform to strengthen global investment ties and promote the economic potential of their respective states.

Nara Lokesh: Andhra Pradesh’s Rising Political Powerhouse

Share


Being the son of one of India’s most visionary and respected political leaders comes with immense pressure—and this has been the challenge that Nara Lokesh, son of Chandrababu Naidu, faced right from the beginning of his political career.

From the outset, Lokesh was often targeted by unfair campaigns and media narratives that sought to portray him as inexperienced or weak. Yet, the resolute composure he displayed during these early challenges gradually sculpted him into the leader he is today.

A turning point in Lokesh’s political journey came after his defeat in the 2019 elections. This early setback forced him to reflect, learn from past mistakes, and reinvent himself. The historic Pada Yatra before the 2024 elections further brought him closer to the public, transforming him into a true mass leader.

One of the key distinctions between Lokesh and his father is in their leadership styles: while Chandrababu is known for his soft, forgiving approach shaped by decades of experience, Lokesh is more aggressive and cadre-centric, combining political maturity with decisive action. Observers began to notice this unique blend of experience, aggression, and public connect, which significantly increased the trust and respect he commands among party cadres and the electorate.

At just 43 years old, Lokesh is already being seen as a major political force—not only in Andhra Pradesh but potentially at the central level as well. His growing rapport with Prime Minister Modi and senior BJP leaders is evidence of his emerging national significance.

Beyond political strategy, Lokesh brings strong soft skills to the table, particularly in attracting global investments to Andhra Pradesh—a capability that underscores his well-rounded leadership. Observers note that Andhra Pradesh has not seen a leader with such a complete and versatile skill set in recent times, and his reputation is expected to grow even further in the coming years.

At the same time, Lokesh must exercise caution, particularly when navigating political challenges posed by a shrewd and strategic leader like YS Jagan. Balanced decision-making and strategic foresight, hallmarks of his father’s four-decade-long career, will be essential for Lokesh as he charts his path forward.

Sharmila Returns to Andhra Pradesh Politics After US Trip

Share


Andhra Pradesh Congress president Sharmila was highly active in state politics prior to the 2024 elections, frequently engaging in heated confrontations with her brother, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, as well as with other political parties. Her active presence and outspoken approach made her a notable figure in the political landscape.

However, in recent times, Sharmila’s political activity has significantly decreased. Sightings of her in Andhra Pradesh have become rare, and she has maintained a low profile for several months.

Reports now indicate that the AP Congress president has returned to India from a trip to the United States, accompanied by her husband, Anil Kumar, just a short while ago. Her return comes at a politically eventful period: Jagan has announced the schedule for his upcoming Pada Yatra, set to commence in about a year and a half, while Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is expected to return soon from the Davos summit.

With the political scene heating up, Sharmila’s return provides her an opportunity to make a strong and vocal entry, potentially reviving the Congress party’s prospects in Andhra Pradesh after a period of relative inactivity.

Border 2 Early Screenings Cancelled Due to Digital Print Delay

Share


The release of Border 2, starring Sunny Deol in the lead role, faced last-minute disruptions as several early morning screenings were cancelled due to delays in content delivery. Although the film was slated to hit cinemas on January 23, 2026, the digital prints were not made available to theatre chains until late the previous night, causing confusion around the 9 a.m. shows. Many theatres had to cancel these screenings and notify ticket holders with “show cancelled” messages.

Sources reveal that digital service providers, including UFO Moviez, had informed regional distributors and cinema owners late last night about potential delays in the download process. Exhibitors reportedly received an official WhatsApp message stating:

“Dear all, download of Border 2 will start at 6:30 a.m. tentatively on 23 January, 2026. Please keep the system ON. Thanks. UFO MOVIEZ.”

The delay was further compounded by the film’s length of 3 hours and 19 minutes, which requires a longer-than-usual download time. As a result, first-day, first-show screenings were widely postponed across multiple locations.

At the time of writing, neither the producers nor the distributors of the film have issued an official statement addressing the issue.

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film stars an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, and Ahan Shetty. Border 2 has been generating significant pre-release buzz, thanks to its nostalgic appeal and war-based storyline.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Dominates Sankranti 2026 Box Office

Share


It goes without saying that Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has emerged as the biggest and most successful Sankranti 2026 release. The film has grossed over ₹250 crore worldwide, firmly securing its position as the number one festive blockbuster. Its performance in the North American market has been equally impressive, crossing $3 million and steadily moving toward the $3.5 million mark, resulting in substantial profits for distributors.

Claiming the position of the second biggest hit of Sankranti 2026 is Anaganaga Oka Raju, starring Naveen Polishetti and produced by Naga Vamshi. Made on a modest budget of approximately ₹42 crore, the film has already collected more than ₹72 crore gross worldwide. In North America, it is nearing the $2 million milestone and has comfortably entered the profit zone, bringing much-needed relief and confidence to the producer.

The third major success of the season is Nari Nari Naduma Murari, starring Sharwanand and produced by Anil Sunkara. While its initial collections were comparatively slow due to a limited theatrical release, the film has been steadily gaining momentum. As it enters its second week with a significantly wider release, box-office numbers are expected to rise further, especially in light of the positive word of mouth it has been receiving.

Overall, Sankranti 2026 has turned out to be a profitable season for Telugu cinema, with multiple films finding commercial success across domestic and overseas markets.

Pragya Jaiswal Turns Heads in a Bold Green Ensemble

Share


Pragya Jaiswal makes a powerful style statement in a green bralette paired with a flowing long skirt, effortlessly showcasing her chiselled physique. The ensemble strikes a refined balance between structure and softness, resulting in a look that feels both contemporary and commanding.

Her confident, bold poses amplify the visual impact, with clean lines and strong posture adding depth and drama to every frame. The rich green hue complements her skin tone beautifully, while minimal accessories ensure the focus remains on the silhouette and the outfit’s sculpted elegance.

This appearance further reinforces Pragya’s fearless fashion identity—unapologetic, poised, and camera-conscious. Blending grace with strength, she proves that modern glamour is driven as much by attitude as by attire, transforming a striking ensemble into a memorable fashion moment that lingers well beyond the lens.

Can Dhurandhar 2 Match the Impact Without Akshaye Khanna?

Share


Dhurandhar, one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025, owes a large part of its success to Akshaye Khanna’s commanding performance as Rehman Baloch, popularly known as Rehman Dakait. His portrayal of the feared yet charismatic outlaw added a layer of gravitas that elevated the film beyond a routine action drama. By bringing both menace and depth to the role, Akshaye transformed the antagonist into a truly memorable cinematic figure.

However, the character’s death in the climax—closely mirroring real-life events in which Rehman Baloch was eliminated by SP Chaudhry Aslam Khan, portrayed by Sanjay Dutt—poses a significant creative challenge for Dhurandhar 2. The biggest strength of the first film, Akshaye Khanna’s magnetic screen presence, cannot be carried forward into the sequel.

This naturally raises questions about what will anchor audience engagement in the second installment. According to industry buzz, the makers plan to shift the narrative focus toward the protagonist, played by Ranveer Singh, delving deeper into his backstory and the personal and political motivations behind his vendetta against Pakistan. This direction opens up strong storytelling possibilities, allowing the sequel to explore emotional depth, political tension, and psychological complexity.

There is little doubt that Dhurandhar 2 will open to impressive numbers, driven by the franchise’s brand value and audience curiosity. However, its long-term success will depend on how convincingly it reinvents its emotional and dramatic core in the absence of its iconic antagonist.

Adding to the excitement, Bollywood media reports suggest that Vicky Kaushal may be playing a pivotal role in the sequel. After the massive success of Chhaava, Vicky’s growing fan base could significantly boost the film’s appeal if these reports are confirmed.

Additionally, expectations are high for another chart-topping track like “Fa9la” by Flipperachi, which played a key role in sustaining audience engagement and social media buzz for the first film. With director Aditya Dhar keeping his cards close to the chest, it remains to be seen how Dhurandhar 2 shapes up as it gears up for its theatrical release.

Social Media Turns Hostile Toward Maruthi, SKN After The Raja Saab

Share


The Raja Saab, which hit theatres on January 9, has now completed nearly two weeks at the box office. The film opened to mixed reviews, prompting predictable trolling on social media from anti-fans. Initially, Prabhas fans responded strongly online, but the exchanges largely remained confined to digital arguments, with no serious real-world incidents reported.

There were apprehensions that director Maruthi might face personal backlash, including concerns about protests near his residence. However, Prabhas fans largely exercised restraint during this phase, earning appreciation for their composed and large-hearted response.

As other festival releases began drawing attention and The Raja Saab settled into its box-office run, conversations around the film gradually faded. Neither overwhelming praise nor severe criticism dominated the discourse.

However, the situation took a sharp turn on January 21. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, witnessed a sudden and intense wave of trolling directed at director Maruthi and the film’s creative producer SKN. Hundreds of abusive posts, memes, and comments flooded timelines throughout the day, many of them attributed to Prabhas fan accounts.

The scale and apparent coordination of this online attack surprised industry observers and even other fan groups, giving the impression of a planned campaign. The underlying intent appeared to be an effort to place the entire blame for the film’s underperformance squarely on director Maruthi and his close associate, SKN, while excluding other contributing factors.
