Share


Actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda is all set to team up once again with producer Naga Vamsi, marking their third collaboration together. The successful duo had earlier delivered back-to-back blockbusters with DJ Tillu and Tillu Square, both of which emerged as highly profitable ventures at the box office. With this new project, they are now aiming for a potential hat-trick of hits.

The upcoming film will be produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, and will be presented by Srikara Studios. Though the project is yet to be officially launched, expectations are already high given the proven success of the combination.

Siddhu is expected to be seen in a completely new avatar in this film, adding to the curiosity surrounding the project. More details regarding the director, cast, and genre are likely to be announced soon.

After facing setbacks with his recent films Jack and Telusu Kada, which failed to perform at the box office, fans are hopeful that this collaboration will mark a strong comeback for Siddhu Jonnalagadda.

Jr NTR Thanks Delhi HC for Personality Rights Protection

Share


Actor Jr NTR on Monday expressed his gratitude to the Delhi High Court for granting a protective order that safeguards his personality rights in the digital era. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the actor thanked the court and his legal team for their support.

In his post, Jr NTR wrote, “I thank the Hon’ble Delhi High Court for granting a protective order that safeguards my personality rights in today’s digital age. My sincere appreciation to Supreme Court Advocates Dr. Balajanaki Srinivasan and Dr. Alka Dakar, along with Mr. Rajender and the team at Rights & Marks, for their dedicated legal support. Deeply thankful for your steadfast support.” He concluded the message with hashtags #Justice #PersonalityRights #DigitalAge.

This development comes in the wake of similar legal action taken earlier this year to protect the rights of senior actors. Notably, a City Civil Court in Hyderabad granted an ad-interim injunction in favour of veteran actor Chiranjeevi Konidela, aimed at protecting his personality and publicity rights.

Through an order dated September 26, 2025, the Court of the Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, restrained the unauthorised commercial use of Chiranjeevi’s name, image, voice, and other identifiable attributes across all formats and media platforms.

These legal developments underline the growing importance of safeguarding celebrities’ personality and publicity rights in an increasingly digital and AI-driven landscape.

Revanth Reddy’s Traditional Look at Tirumala on Vaikuntha Ekadashi

Share


Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is known for his interesting and evolving sense of style. Unlike many Chief Ministers of neighbouring South Indian states who prefer a fixed and conventional attire, Revanth Reddy often experiments with different clothing choices, rarely sticking to a single staple look.

After being seen in a series of casual outfits in recent times, his latest appearance has now caught public attention. On the auspicious occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadashi, Revanth Reddy, along with his family members, visited Tirumala in Tirupati and offered prayers at the revered Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple.

What stood out during the visit was the Chief Minister’s traditional attire. Revanth Reddy was seen in a classic Panche Kattu paired with a plain shirt, perfectly in line with the customs followed at the sacred shrine. His family members too were dressed in traditional clothing, adding to the spiritual and culturally rich atmosphere of the visit.

As the Vaikuntha Ekadashi Darshan officially commenced today, Revanth Reddy was accorded top protocol darshan at the Tirumala temple, in keeping with established norms.

The visual of the Chief Minister embracing a traditional look at one of the country’s most revered pilgrimage sites have since drawn attention and appreciation.

Nani’s Golden Year as Actor & Producer (2025)

Share


Actor Nani had a truly memorable year in 2025, once again proving that his instincts—both as an actor and a producer—are firmly in sync with audience tastes. While he appeared as a lead actor in only one film during the year, his success behind the scenes as a producer made 2025 especially rewarding.

Interestingly, Nani’s first major success of the year came with Court: State vs a Nobody, a legal drama he backed and presented. Released with modest expectations, the film impressed audiences with its strong writing and powerful performances, particularly by Priyadarshi. Positive word of mouth helped the film perform well at the box office, turning it into a profitable venture.

During the pre-release event of Court, Nani made a bold and confident statement that caught everyone’s attention. He openly declared that if Court failed to impress audiences, they need not watch his upcoming film HIT 3. This statement generated significant buzz and reflected Nani’s unwavering faith in the content he was supporting.

What followed surprised many. Court emerged as a clear success, and soon after, HIT 3, produced by Nani and directed by Sailesh Kolanu, hit theatres. Living up to the expectations, the film turned into a major commercial blockbuster. Nani’s intense and raw performance received widespread appreciation, and the film went on to cross the ₹100 crore mark at the box office.

With both projects succeeding, Nani’s confidence and judgment as a producer stood completely validated. His ability to champion content-driven cinema while also delivering mainstream commercial entertainers has further strengthened his reputation in the industry.

Up next, Nani is busy with The Paradise, a raw action drama that marks his reunion with Dasara director Srikanth Odela. Despite minimal promotional material released so far, expectations surrounding the film are already sky-high.

Overall, 2025 turned out to be a golden year for Nani, as both his ventures as a producer struck gold and reaffirmed his status as one of Telugu cinema’s most dependable and intelligent stars.

US Federal Bank Holidays 2026: Full List & Long Weekends

Share


The United States will observe 11 federal holidays in 2026, marking official non-working days for Federal Reserve banks, most financial institutions, government offices, courts, and public schools. These holidays play a key role in shaping work schedules, banking operations, travel plans, and payroll timelines across the country.

The federal holiday calendar begins with New Year’s Day on Thursday, January 1, and concludes with Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. Several holidays fall on Mondays, creating multiple long weekends that Americans can use for travel, family time, or short breaks.

Complete List of US Federal Bank Holidays in 2026

New Year’s Day – Thursday, January 1

Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Monday, January 19

Washington’s Birthday (Presidents’ Day) – Monday, February 16

Memorial Day – Monday, May 25

Juneteenth National Independence Day – Friday, June 19

Independence Day (Observed) – Friday, July 3
(July 4 falls on a Saturday)

Labor Day – Monday, September 7

Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day – Monday, October 12

Veterans Day – Wednesday, November 11

Thanksgiving Day – Thursday, November 26

Christmas Day – Friday, December 25

The observance of Independence Day on Friday, July 3 ensures a three-day weekend, despite July 4 falling on a Saturday.

Closures and Operational Adjustments

Most banks and credit unions follow the Federal Reserve holiday schedule, meaning branches will remain closed on all listed holidays. Government offices, courts, and public schools typically observe these closures as well. USPS generally suspends regular mail delivery on federal holidays, with limited services available.

Financial markets may operate on modified schedules, especially around major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Private companies are not legally required to observe federal holidays, but many align with the calendar for staffing and operational consistency.

Planning Tips for 2026

Banking & Payments: Customers should plan cash withdrawals, deposits, wire transfers, and check clearances in advance to avoid processing delays.

Payroll & Business Operations: Employers often adjust salary disbursements around holidays; employees using direct deposit typically experience fewer disruptions.

Travel & Leisure: Holidays like MLK Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, and Labor Day offer ideal opportunities for long-weekend travel.

New Year’s Eve Hours: Most banks are expected to operate on December 31, though hours may be reduced depending on the institution and location.

As Americans map out work commitments, vacations, and financial activities, the 2026 federal holiday calendar serves as an essential planning tool. Keeping these dates in mind can help avoid last-minute banking hurdles while maximizing time off throughout the year.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series May Get Pricier Due to Rising Component Costs

Share


Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26 series, in February 2026. The lineup is likely to feature three models: Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. While anticipation around the launch continues to build, recent reports suggest that the upcoming series could see a price increase, raising concerns among consumers.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series: Expected Pricing Concerns

According to a report by The Bell, Samsung’s Mobile Experience (MX) division is under growing financial pressure due to rising manufacturing and component costs. The company has also reportedly increased spending on advertising, promotions, and employee wages, driven by intensified competition in the premium smartphone segment. As a result, Samsung is said to be struggling to finalise pricing that remains affordable for customers.

One of the major factors behind the potential price hike is the sharp rise in RAM prices, largely fueled by increasing demand for AI-related hardware. Additionally, the continued reliance on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets—which are becoming more expensive—has further pushed up production costs. Because of this, the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra are expected to launch at higher price points than their predecessors.

Industry-Wide Flagship Price Increases

Samsung is not alone in this trend. In recent months, several flagship smartphones, including the iQOO 15 and OnePlus 15, have reportedly seen price increases. Even Apple introduced a price hike with the iPhone 17 series, a relatively rare move for the brand—though it partially offset the increase by offering higher base storage variants.

As of now, Samsung has not officially confirmed the pricing, specifications, or key upgrades for the Galaxy S26 series. More clarity is expected as the launch window approaches.

Nvidia Makes Strategic $5 Billion Investment in Intel Amid AI Boom

Share


In a move that signals a major realignment within the global semiconductor industry, Nvidia has finalised a $5 billion investment in its long-time rival Intel. The transaction, confirmed through a regulatory filing on Monday, December 29, follows a strategic agreement reached between the two technology giants in September.

Under the deal, Nvidia has acquired approximately 214.7 million shares of Intel’s common stock at a fixed price of $23.28 per share. The capital infusion comes at a critical time for Intel, which is undergoing a challenging transition into a global contract chip manufacturer. The company has been investing heavily in its foundry business as it looks to compete with industry leaders such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

For Nvidia, the investment is widely seen as a tactical move to safeguard its long-term interests within the hardware and manufacturing ecosystem. As the undisputed leader in artificial intelligence chips, Nvidia depends on a resilient and diversified supply chain. A closer relationship with Intel could pave the way for future manufacturing collaborations, particularly within the United States.

The deal has already cleared a key regulatory milestone, with the US Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the mandatory antitrust waiting period. While Nvidia and Intel continue to compete in the data centre and PC processor markets, analysts note that the unprecedented growth of the AI sector has driven the companies toward pragmatic cooperation.

This high-stakes investment marks a symbolic end to Intel’s long-standing isolation and underscores a broader industry trend: in the race for AI dominance, even fierce rivals are finding strategic reasons to collaborate.

Impact on the Indian Tech Ecosystem

The partnership carries important implications for India as well. With the government actively promoting domestic chip manufacturing under the India Semiconductor Mission, closer alignment between Nvidia and Intel could accelerate collaborative investments in Indian research and development centres. Industry experts believe the alliance may also boost prospects for future assembly, testing, and packaging facilities in India as part of their expanding global operations.

Little Hearts: The Year’s Biggest Profit Blockbuster

Share


As the year draws to a close, conversations around cinema are usually dominated by big stars, massive budgets, and large-scale productions. However, this year delivered a powerful reminder that strong content and smart planning can outperform star power. Amidst all the high-profile releases, one small film quietly rewrote box office history — Little Hearts.

Made on a modest budget of approximately ₹2.5 crore, Little Hearts arrived in theatres with minimal hype and almost no expectations. The film was produced with the backing of ETV Win and supported by producer Aditya Hasan, who is known for encouraging content-driven cinema. Directed by Saimarthand, the movie relied heavily on emotional storytelling that resonated deeply with audiences across all age groups.

Starring YouTuber Mouli and newcomer Shivani Nagaram in the lead roles, Little Hearts had no popular stars to attract crowds initially. Yet, its relatable narrative and heartfelt emotions worked wonders. Positive word of mouth spread rapidly, and within days, theatres began witnessing packed houses.

What followed took the trade by surprise. Little Hearts went on to collect over ₹40 crore gross at the box office, with a share nearing ₹30 crore. The film dominated theatres for almost three consecutive weeks, outperforming several medium and big-budget films released during the same period.

Distributors Bunny Vasu and Vamsi Nandipati, who released the film, enjoyed massive profits. From producers to distributors and exhibitors, everyone associated with the project benefited financially while also earning strong credibility within the industry.

While a few other small films managed to perform reasonably well this year, none came close to the phenomenal return on investment achieved by Little Hearts. Although some star-driven films posted higher gross numbers, their massive budgets significantly reduced profitability.

From a pure business standpoint, Little Hearts stands tall above all releases of the year. It once again proved that compelling content, emotional connect, and intelligent budgeting can transform a small film into a massive blockbuster. Without a doubt, Little Hearts can be called the biggest blockbuster of the year when viewed purely from a profit perspective.
