Venkatesh’s Life Mantra from Rana Daggubati Show Goes Viral
An old clip from The Rana Daggubati Show is currently trending on social media, drawing attention for the thoughtful and grounded life philosophy shared by veteran actor Venkatesh. The video, which has resurfaced online, features Venkatesh speaking with clarity and sincerity about work, expectations, and personal happiness.
In the clip, Venkatesh outlines four simple principles that guide his life. He begins by emphasizing effort and honesty, stating, “First, all of us have to work hard, so first you exert.” He follows this by saying that one must then submit their work without attachment to outcomes. According to him, sincere effort should always come before expectations or results.
He further explains the remaining two principles that he values deeply—Exit and Accept. Once a project is completed, Venkatesh believes in emotionally exiting it and accepting whatever result follows, whether success or failure. This mindset, he says, helps him maintain peace and balance in both his professional and personal life.
The conversation unfolds in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Before host Rana Daggubati joins, Venkatesh is seen casually discussing these thoughts with his daughter Harshita. When Rana enters, the mood becomes lighter, with Rana jokingly asking whether Venkatesh is sharing wisdom or conducting a life class.
The clip has struck a chord with audiences, who are praising its simplicity and relevance. Many users are sharing the video, calling Venkatesh’s words a refreshing reminder of how to approach life with maturity and calm.
Bhogapuram Airport Records First Successful Trial Landing
The Bhogapuram Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport in Vizianagaram district reached a major milestone with the successful landing of its first aircraft on Sunday. An Air India flight from Delhi touched down at the airport as part of a crucial trial run, marking a significant step towards the airport’s commercial operations.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, MP Kalisetti, and senior aviation and government officials were on board the aircraft. Airport authorities closely observed the trial landing to evaluate runway readiness, navigational systems, and overall operational safety.
Being developed as a state-of-the-art international airport, Bhogapuram Airport features a 3.8-kilometre-long runway designed to support wide-body aircraft. Once fully operational, the airport is expected to handle nearly 300 flight movements per day, significantly boosting air connectivity in north coastal Andhra Pradesh.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited wholesome entertainer Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is all set to arrive in theatres on January 12, just in time for the Sankranthi festival. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film has already generated strong buzz, further amplified by the trailer that was unveiled today to an overwhelming positive response.
The trailer launch event, held in Tirupati, witnessed a massive turnout, reflecting the excitement surrounding the film. Adding to the anticipation, Victory Venkatesh will be seen in a special role, marking a rare and exciting collaboration between the two stars.
Speaking at the event, Sushmita Konidela expressed complete confidence in the project, calling it “pure Megastar Chiranjeevi magic.” She praised director Anil Ravipudi for presenting Chiranjeevi in a style that highlights his trademark swag and screen presence, assuring audiences of a perfect festive entertainer.

He highlighted that while Anil Ravipudi delivered a solo-hero film last Sankranthi, this time he ups the ante with two major stars.

Ranveer Singh–Kalyani Priyadarshan Zombie Film Buzz Grows
When two artists coming off career-defining blockbusters are speculated to collaborate, it naturally becomes a major talking point across the country. That is precisely the case with the growing buzz around Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and South Indian sensation Kalyani Priyadarshan reportedly teaming up for an upcoming zombie thriller.
According to industry grapevine, Kalyani Priyadarshan is likely to make her Bollywood debut opposite Ranveer Singh in Pralay, a zombie-based film directed by Jai Mehta. The film is expected to go on floors in the summer, with the makers finalising Kalyani as the female lead after considering several prominent names.
Ranveer Singh, who recently delivered a record-shattering blockbuster with Dhurandhar, has reportedly restructured his upcoming lineup. The actor has put Don 3 on the back burner to focus on unconventional and genre-driven projects like Pralay, signalling a conscious effort to diversify his filmography. This move has significantly heightened expectations around the project.
Kalyani Priyadarshan, meanwhile, is enjoying a major career high following the massive success of Lokah: Chapter 1. Her performance received widespread critical acclaim, while the film’s strong box-office run cemented her position as one of the most promising actresses in South cinema. With an eye on substantial and performance-oriented roles, Pralay could mark a crucial step in her pan-Indian journey.
With both actors riding high on the biggest hits of their respective industries, this potential collaboration is already generating considerable excitement. An official announcement is now awaited to confirm whether this much-discussed pairing will indeed come to life.
From Nani to Rajinikanth: Cibi Chakravarthi’s Script Finds Bigger Destiny
Tamil director Cibi Chakravarthi, best known for the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Don, once approached Natural Star Nani with a promising story idea. The director even travelled to Hyderabad to narrate the concept, which reportedly impressed Nani at the initial stage. Encouraged by the response, Cibi went on to develop the idea into a complete script.
However, despite waiting nearly a year for final approval, the project did not take off. Nani eventually decided to pass on the film, citing budgetary limitations and practical challenges. As a result, the much-anticipated collaboration between Nani and Cibi Chakravarthi did not materialise.
In a surprising turn of events, the very same script has now paved the way for a far bigger opportunity for the director. Superstar Rajinikanth has given his nod to the project, elevating it into a major pan-Indian venture. The film has now been officially announced, marking a significant milestone in Cibi Chakravarthi’s career.
In hindsight, Nani’s decision to step away proved to be a turning point for the filmmaker. Meanwhile, Nani has moved on to his next project and is currently collaborating with OG director Sujeeth on an upcoming film, keeping his lineup firmly on track.
Riddhi Kumar’s Graceful Rise with The Raja Saab
Riddhi Kumar may not yet be a household name in Telugu cinema, but she has steadily begun to make her presence felt. Her brief appearance in Radhe Shyam, starring Prabhas, proved to be a crucial stepping stone, opening doors to bigger opportunities.

In her latest pictures, Riddhi Kumar turns heads as she poses sensuously in elegant ethnic ensembles, opting for a subtle and graceful expression of femininity rather than overt glamour. Her magnetic features, poise, and confident screen presence stand out instantly, hinting at strong star potential.
With The Raja Saab being a high-profile project, all eyes are now on Riddhi Kumar to see how this film shapes her career. If the film connects well with audiences, it could well mark her transition into the mainstream spotlight in Telugu cinema.
Andhra Deputy Speaker RRR Steals Spotlight in Bhimavaram Beat
Politicians appearing in AI-generated dance videos have become a common online spectacle. But this time, it’s not artificial—it’s entirely real.
Raghu Ramakrishnam Raju, popularly known as RRR, the Deputy Speaker of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly and MLA from Undi constituency, has once again grabbed public attention—this time through pop culture. Known for his flamboyant public persona and open admiration for cinema and popular entertainment, RRR often blurs the line between politics and performance.
His ability to connect with people through humour, style, and theatrical flair—rather than conventional political rhetoric—has consistently kept him in the spotlight.
The latest instance comes from pop singer Smitha’s newly released song Bhimavaram Beat, which dropped today. In a brief yet impactful cameo, RRR makes a striking appearance in the high-energy music video. Set against rich visuals and backed by a large ensemble of dancers, the song carries a festive, mass-appeal vibe.
Dressed in his signature dhoti, RRR performs a simple dance step, confidently delivers the line “This is Bhimavaram beat esko,” and wraps it up with a stylish twirl of his moustache—earning instant cheers and recall.
Smitha’s clever inclusion of RRR adds an extra layer of buzz to the track, transforming it into a conversation starter. The cameo seamlessly blends a political personality with pop entertainment, resonating strongly with audiences and reinforcing the song’s viral appeal.
Rayalaseema Lift Project Controversy Reignites Political Tensions
The Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project has once again come into political focus following recent remarks by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in the Assembly. His comments were swiftly amplified by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), which accused the ruling TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh of neglecting Rayalaseema’s irrigation needs.
Rejecting these allegations, the Andhra Pradesh government has termed the criticism politically motivated, stating that the controversy surrounding the project predates the current administration and is rooted in procedural lapses during the previous YSRCP regime.
According to officials from the state government and the irrigation department, the Rayalaseema Lift project was initiated without obtaining mandatory statutory and environmental clearances. As early as 2020, multiple central agencies and regulatory authorities had reportedly directed that no construction work should proceed without prior approvals.
Despite these warnings, the project was announced and work was taken up, eventually leading to legal hurdles. Government sources point out that stop-work orders were issued by institutions such as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and river management authorities well before the present coalition assumed office. Officials also note that project execution had already slowed and later stalled during the YSRCP tenure due to the absence of clearances.
The current NDA-led coalition argues that the previous government failed to effectively defend the project in legal forums, weakening Rayalaseema’s position. In contrast, the present administration says it has begun filing detailed counters and placing factual submissions before the NGT in an effort to revive the project through lawful and sustainable means.
At the same time, the government has highlighted a renewed focus on Rayalaseema’s irrigation and agricultural development. Officials claim irrigation spending in the region declined significantly over the past five years, while the current government has increased allocations and revived stalled works. Priority is being given to projects such as the Handri Neeva canal expansion, reservoir strengthening, micro-irrigation initiatives, and drip irrigation subsidies to directly benefit farmers.
The government further states that its long-term objective is to transform Rayalaseema into a horticulture- and irrigation-driven region by enhancing water storage, ensuring efficient distribution, and executing projects in compliance with legal and environmental norms.
Maintaining that the Rayalaseema Lift controversy stems from past administrative failures, the AP government has accused the YSRCP of using recent political statements to deflect responsibility. The NDA coalition asserts that it is now focused on correcting those errors while rebuilding trust among farmers in the drought-prone Rayalaseema region.
