KCR Revamps BRS Legislative Leadership in Telangana Assembly

Share


Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Tuesday announced key changes in the party’s legislative leadership in the Telangana Assembly. The reshuffle is aimed at strengthening coordination and improving the party’s effectiveness on the floor of the House.

As part of the new structure, KCR—who continues as the BRS floor leader and Leader of the Opposition—appointed Siddipet MLA T. Harish Rao, Maheshwaram MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy, and Sanathnagar MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav as deputy floor leaders in the Assembly.

In the Telangana Legislative Council, senior leaders L. Ramana and Pochampally Srinivas Reddy were named as deputy leaders, while Desapati Srinivas was appointed as the party Whip. Senior leader S. Madhusudhana Chary will continue as the BRS floor leader in the Council.

Notably, KCR’s son and senior party leader K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) did not feature in the latest set of appointments. Political analysts suggest that KCR may be dissatisfied with the way KTR has been handling party affairs and believes that Harish Rao can manage Assembly strategy more effectively.

Party sources stated that the reshuffle is intended to ensure better coordination, stronger discipline, and clearer articulation of the party’s stand during Assembly proceedings. The BRS leadership expressed confidence that the revamped legislative team would enhance the party’s performance and help consolidate its position as a strong and effective opposition in the Telangana Assembly.

2025: A Turning Point Year for New Andhra Pradesh

Share


The year 2025 will be remembered as one of the most historic and defining phases in the journey of modern Andhra Pradesh. After nearly five years marked by uncertainty, weak investor confidence, and a freebies-driven economy, the state has once again emerged as a serious and credible destination for both global and national investments.

From global tech giants like Google to infrastructure majors such as the Adani Group, several big-ticket companies have shown strong interest in setting up or expanding their operations in Andhra Pradesh. This renewed investor confidence is more than just positive news—it represents hope for job creation, higher incomes for families, and long-term economic stability for the state’s youth.

This transformation did not happen overnight. The NDA government, under the leadership of N. Chandrababu Naidu, has worked consistently to rebuild trust. Clear and transparent policies, faster approvals, and continuous engagement with industry leaders have sent out a strong and unambiguous message: Andhra Pradesh is back in business. The successful CII Summit held in Visakhapatnam stands as a testament to this renewed confidence and marks just the beginning of the growth journey of “New Andhra Pradesh.” Many industrialists have openly acknowledged that policy clarity and governance stability are the key reasons for their return to the state.

Parallelly, infrastructure development is finally moving from paper to ground reality. The long-awaited Bhogapuram International Airport is expected to become operational by 2026, alongside the development of multiple ports along the state’s vast coastline. These projects are set to significantly boost trade, tourism, and connectivity, particularly benefiting the North Andhra region. At the same time, Amaravati is once again witnessing tangible on-ground activity, restoring public confidence that the capital city dream is firmly back on track.

Crucially, growth is being balanced with welfare. While Minister Lokesh is strongly focused on education reforms and attracting investments to Andhra Pradesh, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has concentrated on grassroots welfare—ensuring access to drinking water, strengthening rural development, and supporting vulnerable communities, especially in tribal regions. This blend of large-scale investments and people-centric welfare has helped humanise the government’s development narrative.

As Andhra Pradesh moves into 2026, expectations are naturally high. The focus now lies on effective implementation—turning MoUs into functioning factories, airports into operational flights, and policies into real, on-ground benefits for citizens. If the current momentum continues, Andhra Pradesh is clearly entering a new phase of growth, with optimism and confidence returning to households across the state.

Prithviraj Sukumaran Becomes Tollywood’s Go-To Choice

Share


Tollywood has always been a fertile ground for talented actors and technicians, offering ample opportunities to artists from across industries. Over the years, several actors from other languages have carved a strong niche in Telugu cinema with impactful roles. The latest versatile actor to join this list is Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is fast becoming a favourite among Telugu filmmakers.

After making a strong impression with Salaar and signing on for Varanasi, Prithviraj has reportedly locked in his third Telugu project. According to reliable sources, he has been roped in for a powerful, author-backed role in Nani’s upcoming film with OG director Sujeeth. While an official announcement is still awaited, the development has already generated considerable buzz.

Tentatively titled Bloody Romeo, the film is said to be a dark comedy thriller infused with Sujeeth’s signature action elements. With Nani in the lead, Prithviraj is expected to play a formidable on-screen rival, bringing immense acting depth to the narrative. Known for giving striking makeovers to his key characters, Sujeeth is likely to present Prithviraj in a fresh and compelling avatar.

Prithviraj is widely regarded as one of the finest and most multifaceted actors in South Indian cinema. His performance in Prabhas’ Salaar earned widespread appreciation and strengthened his connection with Telugu audiences. Up next, he will be seen as the primary antagonist in SS Rajamouli’s ambitious globe-trotting action adventure Varanasi, starring Superstar Mahesh Babu. His first look as “Kumbha,” featuring a menacing and futuristic design, received an overwhelming response from audiences worldwide upon its release last month.

Varanasi is expected to be a major turning point in Prithviraj’s career, significantly boosting his visibility on a global scale. Even before its release, the actor is already emerging as one of the most in-demand choices for pivotal roles in big-budget Telugu films, signaling an exciting new chapter in his Tollywood journey.

Silent Promotions Spark Doubts Over ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’

Share


With Sankranti turning into a crowded battleground this year, promotions have become critical for every film in the race. Amidst intense competition, Nari Nari Naduma Murari seems to be adopting a surprisingly low-key promotional strategy.

The film has not seen any significant promotional activity in recent days. Apart from the team wishing writer Bhanu Bhogavarapu on his birthday, there have been no fresh updates. Even that poster skipped mentioning the release date, which has naturally raised eyebrows.

Earlier, the makers had officially announced a January 14 release with evening premieres, making the current silence around the date all the more puzzling. In a festive season where multiple big films are aggressively promoting themselves, maintaining visibility is crucial. Regardless of confidence in content, long gaps between updates can be risky.

Directed by Ram Abbaraju, who won audience appreciation with Samajavaragamana, the film stars Sakshi Vaidya and Samyuktha Menon as the female leads. The storyline revolves around a single hero caught between two heroines—a familiar yet crowd-pleasing formula that coincidentally features in another upcoming Sankranti release as well.

Produced by Anil Sunkara under the AK Entertainments banner, with music composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar, Nari Nari Naduma Murari still has time to make an impact. If the makers are firmly aiming for a festival release, a stronger promotional push with something special may be needed soon to stand out in the packed Sankranti lineup.

Dhurandhar Hits ₹1100 Cr Despite Gulf Ban

Share


India’s highest-grossing film of 2025, Dhurandhar, continues its phenomenal run as the New Year approaches. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has already amassed around ₹1100 crore gross worldwide, creating history at the Bollywood box office. Remarkably, even after 25 days of its release, the high-octane spy thriller is still registering double-digit daily revenues.

Amid this extraordinary box office success, the film faced one major setback. Dhurandhar was banned in several Gulf countries, resulting in an estimated revenue loss of nearly ₹90 crore. Despite performing exceptionally well across other overseas markets, the absence of a Middle East release significantly impacted its total earnings.

The film was reportedly blocked across six Gulf nations — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Censor authorities in these regions objected to the film’s alleged anti-Pakistan messaging, as the storyline draws inspiration from Operation Lyari, involving Indian intelligence operations in Pakistan.

According to the film’s overseas distributor, the Gulf ban proved to be a major missed opportunity. Given the strong word of mouth following its December 5 release, Dhurandhar could have comfortably earned close to ₹100 crore in the Middle East alone during its full theatrical run. Traditionally, Indian action and patriotic films perform extremely well in Gulf countries due to the large Indian diaspora, and Dhurandhar was expected to follow the same trend.

Several Bollywood films in the past, including Fighter, Sky Force, The Diplomat, Article 370, Tiger 3, and The Kashmir Files, also faced similar bans in Gulf territories.

Nevertheless, Dhurandhar has stormed the global box office and emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. In overseas markets like North America, it has become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, surpassing previous blockbusters such as Jawan and Pathaan. The film’s patriotic undertone and adrenaline-pumping action sequences struck a strong chord with audiences, paving the way for a record-breaking theatrical run across all released territories.

బాలీవుడ్‌లో ధురంధర్ ఒక లేటెస్ట్ సెన్సేషన్‌గా మారి, ప్రపంచ వ్యాప్తంగా హాట్ టాపిక్‌గా నిలిచింది. రణ్‌వీర్ సింగ్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలో ఆదిత్యధర్ రూపొందించిన ఈ మూవీ, రూ.1100 కోట్లకు పైగా వసూళ్లను సాధించి, ఈ ఏడాది అత్యధిక వసూళ్ల సాధించిన సినిమాగా నిలిచింది.

సినిమా రిలీజ్ తరువాత మొదటి వారం విమర్శలు వినిపించాయి. సెక్యులర్ వాదులు, యూట్యూబర్స్ ఈ మూవీపై విమర్శలు గుప్పించారు. పాకిస్థాన్, అరబ్ దేశాల్లో బ్యాన్ కావడం వలన, సినిమాపై అంతర్జాతీయంగా ఆసక్తి పెరిగింది. మేకింగ్, టేకింగ్ పరంగా సరికొత్త ఒరవడికి శ్రీకారం చుట్టిన ధురంధర్పై ప్రముఖులు, సినీ లవర్స్ ప్రశంసలు కురిపిస్తున్నారు.

వర్మ కూడా ఈ సినిమాకు ప్రశంసల వర్షం కురిపించారు. దర్శకుడు సినిమాను తీర్చిదిద్దిన విధానం, ధురంధర్ను తెరపై ఆవిష్కరించిన పద్ధతి ఇండియన్ సినిమాకు గేమ్-చేంజర్ అని పేర్కొన్నారు. మేకర్స్ నుండి, హీరో వర్షన్ వరకు టాలీవుడ్ కూడా ధురంధర్ నుంచి పాఠాలు నేర్చుకోవాలంటూ సెటైర్లు వేశారు.

అయితే వర్మ చేసిన వ్యాఖ్యలు సౌత్ ఇండస్ట్రీని కొంచెం కించపరచడంగా కూడా చూస్తున్నారు. ఆయన ధురంధర్ ని పొగిడుతూ “బాలీవుడ్‌పై సౌత్ వాళ్ల దండయాత్ర ఆగిపోయింది. ధురంధర్ 2 మరింత హడలెత్తిస్తుంది” అని ట్వీట్ చేశారు.

నెటిజన్లు దీనిపై భిన్నంగా స్పందిస్తున్నారు. కొందరు వర్మ హ్యాంగోవర్‌లో చెప్పారని అంటుంటే, మరికొందరు ఆయన మాట సరిగా ఉందని సమర్థిస్తున్నారు. ధురంధర్ 2 మార్చి 19న రిలీజ్ కానుంది. వర్మ ఇప్పటికే దీన్ని చూసినట్లు తెలుస్తోంది. రెండవ భాగం మొదటి భాగానికి మించి హై-వోల్టేజ్ యాక్షన్ సన్నివేశాలు, కొత్త సీక్వెన్స్‌లతో ప్రేక్షకులను ఆకట్టేలా ఉంటుంది అని ఆయన చెప్పారు.

దర్శక శిఖరం రాజమౌళి టాలీవుడ్ స్టార్ హీరోల‌తో పాన్ ఇండియా సినిమాలు చేస్తున్నారు. ఇప్పటికే ప్ర‌భాస్, రామ్ చ‌ర‌ణ్‌, ఎన్టీఆర్ లతో పని చేసి విజయాన్ని సాధించారు. ప్ర‌స్తుతం సూపర్ స్టామార్ మహేష్ బాబుతో వారణాసి పై కృషి చేస్తున్నారు.

ఇప్పటి తర్వాత ఎవ‌రు రాజమౌళి సృష్టిలో భాగమవుతారు? బన్నీకి అవకాశం ఉందా? బన్నీతో పని చేస్తే టాప్ స్టార్ లైన్ క్లీర్ అవుతుంది. అంతేకాదు, పాయింట్ ఏమిటంటే భవిష్యత్ ప్రాజెక్ట్స్ కోసం రాజమౌళి బాలీవుడ్ లేదా పాత హీరోల్ని మళ్లీ తీసుకోవాల్సివస్తుందా? లేక సీనియర్ స్టార్ చిరంజీవి వంటి ఇతర స్టార్లతో అవకాశాలు తీసుకోవాలా?

ఇలాంటి చర్చల్లో సూపర్ స్టార్ రజనీకాంత్, విశ్వనటుడు కమల్ హాసన్ పేర్లూ తెరపైకి వచ్చాయి. రజనీకాంత్ ఇప్పటికే పాన్ వరల్డ్ స్టార్. ఆయనతో, లేదా కమల్ హాసన్ వంటి స్టార్ తో కలసి సినిమా చేస్తే పాన్ వరల్డ్ షేక్ చేసే సామర్థ్యం ఉంది.

కానీ, ఈ కాంబినేషన్ కోసం కొన్ని ఇబ్బందులు కూడా ఉన్నాయి. రజనీకాంత్ జక్కన్నతో పని చేయాలంటే రాజమౌళి ఎక్కువ బంధం, సమయం కేటాయించాలి. రజనీకాంత్ వయసు ఇప్పుడు 70 కంటే ఎక్కువ, శంకర్ తో రోబో చేసినప్పుడు మాత్రమే పూర్తి చేయగలిగారు. అందువల్ల వయసు, టైమ్ లిమిట్స్ వంటి పరిస్థితులు ఈ కలయికను వెనక్కి లాగే చేసే అవకాశం ఉంది.

ఇంకా కమల్ హాసన్ (71 ఏళ్లు) ఎనర్జిటిక్‌గా పనిచేస్తున్నాడు. రాజమౌళి కమల్‌తో ఒక ప్రయోగాత్మక కాన్సెప్ట్ తీసుకోవచ్చు. ఆయన పూర్తి సాయం అందిస్తారని తెలుస్తుంది. అయితే, జక్కన్న—బన్నీ లాంటి హీరోలతో భవిష్యత్ ప్రణాళికల్లో రాజమౌళి ఈ స్టార్లను చేర్చుతారా లేదా అనేది ఆసక్తికర అంశంగా ఉంది.

టాలీవుడ్ నటుడు శివాజీ దండోరా మూవీ ఈవెంట్‌లో చేసిన వ్యాఖ్యలు పెద్ద దుమారం రేపాయి. ఇప్పటికే ఆ విషయం చర్చనీయాంశంగా మారింది. కొందరు సినీ సెలబ్రిటీలు శివాజీకి మద్దతు పలికే విధంగా స్పందించగా, మరికొందరు ఆయన వ్యాఖ్యలపై తీవ్రంగా ఆందోళన వ్యక్తం చేశారు.

అయితే ఆ సందర్భంలో అదే వేదికపై నటుడు నవదీప్ కూడా ఉన్నారు. తాజాగా దండోరా టీమ్ విద్యార్థులతో చిట్‌చాట్ నిర్వహించగా, శివాజీ వ్యాఖ్యలు చేసినప్పుడు ఎందుకు ఆపలేదని ప్రశ్న నవదీప్‌కు ఎదురైంది. 이에 대해 ఆయన స్పష్టమైన వివరణ ఇచ్చారు.

నవదీప్ చెప్పారు:
“ఒక మనిషి స్టేజ్ పై మాట్లాడుతుంటే, అది 30 ఏళ్ల సీనియర్ అయినా, వాళ్లకు చెప్పాలనిపిస్తే మాట్లాడతారు. వినేవారికి మనం ఆపలేము. మాట్లాడుతున్నవారి అభిప్రాయం వాళ్లకు, వినేవారి అభిప్రాయం మాకు. ఒక్కో సందర్భంలో సరిగ్గా చెప్పడం సమాజంలో ఒక నిబంధన. ఆ నియమాలు ఫాలో అవితే మంచిది, కానీ పరిస్థితిని కూడా మనం గమనించాలి.”

అతను మరింత వివరించారు:
“పక్కన ఉన్నవాడు తప్పు చేస్తున్నాడా అని ఫీలైనప్పుడు మాత్రమే స్పందించాలి. అప్పుడు బయలుదేరడం, ఆలోచించి తరువాత కామెంట్ ఇవ్వడం లేదా వెళ్లిపోవడం అనే ఆప్షన్స్ ఉంటాయి. సమాజంలో రెస్పాన్సిబిలిటీ యాక్టర్లకే మాత్రమే కాదు, అందరికీ ఉంది. పబ్లిక్ లోనైనా, ప్రైవేట్ లోనైనా, ఎవరు ఇష్టమొచ్చినట్లుగా మాట్లాడకూడదు. అందరి బాధ్యత సమానమే.”

నవదీప్ చివరగా చెప్పారు:
“శివాజీ గారి వ్యాఖ్యలపై స్పందనలు, సోషల్ మీడియాలో కామెంట్లు, చప్పట్లు అన్ని జరిగాయి. కానీ ప్రతి సందర్భానికి ఒక సందర్భం, ఒక కాన్టెక్స్ట్ ఉంటుంది. వైరలెట్ అయ్యే పదాలకూ, వ్యాఖ్యలకూ అర్థం తెలుసుకుని స్పందించాలి. మనం అటువంటి సిట్యువేషన్స్‌లోనే ఉన్నాం.”

New Year’s Eve Delivery Strike May Disrupt Online Orders Across India

Share


Consumers planning New Year’s Eve celebrations are being urged to stock up early, as delivery workers across major Indian platforms—including Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon, and Flipkart—have announced a nationwide strike on Wednesday, December 31. The strike is expected to significantly disrupt last-minute food and party essential deliveries during one of the busiest days of the year.

The protest is being led by the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union (TGPWU) along with the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers (IFAT). Union leaders claim that over one lakh gig workers are expected to participate by logging out of apps or sharply reducing their workload. Major metropolitan areas likely to be impacted include Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Pune, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.

The planned walkout follows a similar strike on Christmas Day, during which nearly 40,000 workers reportedly participated, causing delivery disruptions of up to 60% in several cities.

At the heart of the protest are concerns over worsening working conditions in India’s rapidly expanding gig economy. Workers cite low and inconsistent pay, lack of job security, and the absence of social security benefits such as health insurance and accident coverage. Unions have also criticised opaque “app-based governance,” alleging that algorithms determine pay cuts, incentives, and penalties without transparency or prior notice.

Another major point of contention is the rise of ultra-fast delivery promises, including 10-minute delivery models. According to union leaders, such timelines pressure workers into unsafe driving practices, increasing the risk of road accidents. Shaik Salauddin, founder of TGPWU, described the situation as “modern-day exploitation,” alleging that workers who raise concerns face ID blocking, threats, and algorithmic retaliation.

While Niti Aayog estimates that India’s gig workforce could grow to 2.35 crore by 2030, unions argue that growth has not translated into fair wages or safer working environments. Major delivery platforms have not yet issued official responses to the strike announcement.

In light of the planned shutdown, consumers are advised not to rely on last-minute app-based deliveries and to make alternative arrangements for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Apple’s AI-Powered Siri Set for 2026 Launch

Share


Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as the primary catalyst driving the global tech industry, with companies rapidly embedding AI into their ecosystems and core devices. Amid this aggressive race, Apple has stood out for its relatively cautious and slower AI adoption compared to rivals. However, that restraint could finally bear fruit in 2026 with the long-awaited launch of a revamped, AI-powered Siri.

Apple is expected to debut the upgraded Siri in the spring of 2026, marking one of its most significant AI advancements in nearly two years. According to a report by The Information, Apple has deliberately taken a conservative approach to AI spending, in stark contrast to companies like Meta and OpenAI, which are investing billions of dollars in AI infrastructure and model development.

The report suggests that Apple has fallen behind in the AI race, particularly due to a one-year delay in rolling out Siri’s AI-driven upgrade. While this delay has raised concerns among analysts and users alike, Apple’s cautious spending strategy has allowed it to retain a massive financial cushion. The company reportedly holds cash reserves and investments worth around $130 billion, giving it ample flexibility to acquire AI startups or scale its efforts rapidly when needed.

Apple is now preparing to make its AI ambitions more visible with the upcoming Siri overhaul. The AI-powered assistant is expected to deliver more natural, conversational interactions and gain the ability to perform complex, multi-step tasks. Additionally, Apple is rumored to be exploring a partnership with Google to integrate Gemini for handling more advanced AI-driven operations.

Although Apple’s slow pace in AI adoption may have impacted its business momentum, stock performance, and market perception, 2026 could mark a turning point. With a stronger AI push and a smarter Siri, Apple may be poised to regain confidence among investors and users, signaling a renewed commitment to competing in the AI-driven future.

ప్రస్తుతం సోషల్ మీడియాలో పెద్ద ఎత్తున ప్రచారం జరుగుతోంది, రోజా కూతురు అన్షు మాలిక త్వరలోనే ఒక స్టార్ హీరో ఇంటికి కోడలుగా వెళ్లబోతుందనేది, అలాగే త్వరలోనే సినిమాల్లో హీరోయిన్ గా ఎంట్రీ ఇస్తుందనేది. ఈ రూమర్లకు సంబంధించిన క్లారిటీ ఇవ్వడానికి రోజా తాజాగా ఒక ఇంటర్వ్యూలో పాల్గొన్నారు.

US Embassy Warning Deepens H-1B Visa Anxiety for Indians

Share


As thousands of Indian professionals remain caught in prolonged visa uncertainty, a warning issued by the US Embassy in India on Tuesday has added to growing anxiety and frustration around delayed H-1B and H-4 visa processing. While the message did not announce any new policy change, its timing—amid stalled interviews and mounting disruptions—has sparked anger and unease, particularly on social media.

In a post on X, the US Embassy reiterated the Trump administration’s hardline stance on immigration, stating, “If you break U.S. law, you will be punished with significant criminal penalties. The Trump Administration is committed to ending illegal immigration to the United States and protecting our nation’s borders and our citizens.” Though the statement reflected a long-standing position, many Indian visa holders interpreted it as insensitive given the current backlog and uncertainty faced by legal applicants.

The warning comes as thousands of Indians remain stranded in India after US authorities deferred pre-scheduled visa interviews, preventing professionals from returning to their jobs and families in the United States. Applicants have reported receiving emails postponing interviews originally set for mid-month to dates as far away as May next year, triggering financial, professional, and personal distress.

Under Donald Trump, the US administration has intensified scrutiny of both legal and illegal immigration pathways. Employment-based visas, particularly the H-1B programme—widely used by Indian professionals in technology, healthcare, and engineering—have faced tighter checks, increased documentation requirements, and prolonged vetting.

Trump has repeatedly argued that alleged misuse of the H-1B programme poses a national security risk. In line with this stance, he introduced a proclamation imposing a steep $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, a move that has alarmed Indian workers and US employers alike. At the same time, Trump has also acknowledged America’s dependence on global talent, citing domestic skill shortages in key sectors, leading to mixed signals on immigration policy.

India has formally raised concerns with Washington over the recent disruptions. New Delhi confirmed that it has flagged the sudden cancellation of pre-scheduled H-1B visa interviews for a large number of Indian applicants and said discussions are ongoing to resolve issues linked to enhanced vetting procedures, according to PTI.

The delays are reportedly linked to increased scrutiny of applicants’ social media activity and online presence, part of broader security checks introduced by US authorities. However, the lack of clarity and communication around timelines has intensified frustration among affected professionals.

The H-1B visa remains a cornerstone of the US employment-based immigration system, enabling American companies to hire skilled foreign professionals for specialised roles. While the Trump administration maintains that stricter rules and higher costs will deter misuse and protect US workers, industry leaders warn that prolonged uncertainty could drive highly skilled talent away from the United States, ultimately harming the country’s global competitiveness.

US Chamber Appeals $100K H-1B Visa Fee Ruling

The legal battle over the future of the H-1B visa programme has intensified, with the US Chamber of Commerce formally appealing a court ruling that upheld the Trump administration’s controversial $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, according to Bloomberg.

The Chamber filed a notice of appeal on Monday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, challenging a December 23 ruling by US District Judge Beryl Howell. The judge held that former President Donald Trump acted lawfully when he sharply increased the cost of the widely used work visa through a presidential proclamation issued in September.

The appeal adds momentum to a growing legal showdown in Washington. Trump’s fee hike is already being challenged in separate lawsuits—one in Massachusetts led by more than a dozen Democratic-led states, and another in California filed by a global nurse-staffing agency alongside multiple labor unions. Legal experts widely expect the dispute to ultimately reach the US Supreme Court.

The H-1B visa programme is a cornerstone of employment-based immigration, enabling US companies—particularly in technology, healthcare, and engineering—to hire college-educated foreign professionals for specialised roles. Trump has defended the steep fee increase as a measure to curb alleged abuse of the programme and prevent displacement of American workers.

Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have also claimed the higher fee could generate a massive windfall for the US Treasury, potentially exceeding $100 billion. However, immigration attorneys and industry leaders warn that such a dramatic increase would severely disrupt hiring, raise operational costs, and negatively impact the broader US economy.

In its October lawsuit, the Chamber argued that the fee is unlawful, asserting that it overrides federal immigration law and exceeds the authority granted to the executive branch by Congress. Judge Howell rejected that argument, ruling that Trump acted under an “express statutory grant of authority to the President.”

The ruling has significantly weakened the Chamber’s position on appeal. Bloomberg Intelligence Litigation Analyst Matthew Schettenhelm noted that the business group faces an uphill battle, observing that if Judge Howell—an Obama appointee known for tough scrutiny of the Trump administration—found no legal flaws, higher courts are unlikely to rule differently.

The case is titled Chamber of Commerce v. US Department of Homeland Security (25-cv-03675), US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Adivi Sesh to Go Shirtless in Action-Packed ‘Dacoit’

For any hero, appearing shirtless on screen is never an easy decision. It demands the right physique and, more importantly, a moment that feels organic to the story rather than forced. When these elements align, such scenes often leave a lasting impact.

Several top stars have successfully pulled off such moments in the past—and now, it seems to be Adivi Sesh’s turn.

Sesh has been working on Dacoit for the past two years, a film described as a violent love story. The recently released teaser is packed with intense action, leaving audiences curious about how the romantic angle fits in. Many wondered whether the film leans more toward action than romance.

Sources reveal that Dacoit presents a different kind of love story, with Sesh’s character being heavily action-oriented. As part of this, he is reportedly set to appear shirtless in one or two sequences. Known for his disciplined fitness and soldier-like physique, Sesh seems fully prepared, making the transformation feel natural rather than gimmicky.

Mrinal Thakur plays the female lead, and true to Adivi Sesh’s cinematic style, the film promises romantic moments and intense emotional drama. Produced by Annapurna Studios and Asian Cinemas, Dacoit is gearing up for a theatrical release in March. With its mix of action, romance, and a fresh avatar of Sesh, expectations around the film are steadily building.
