Vintage DSP Is Back for Ustaad Bhagat Singh
The Devi Sri Prasad that Telugu audiences once knew feels very different from the composer we see today. Though he still dominates the industry and commands one of the highest paychecks in South cinema, it has been quite some time since DSP delivered a truly vintage album—one filled with that perfect blend of class-and-mass songs and a powerhouse background score capable of elevating key sequences to another level.
While he played a crucial role in the massive success of Pushpa 2, his contribution was overshadowed by controversy, with speculation that he hadn’t completed the re-recording on time. And though Thandel and Kuberaa earned him appreciation earlier this year, many felt his old magic was still missing.
But now, the first single from Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Dekhlenge Saala, has struck like lightning. The song instantly turned into a chartbuster because the tune carries that unmistakable vintage DSP vibe—a lively, foot-tapping rendition with catchy lyrics, reminding listeners of the golden era when his albums made the entire nation groove.
Fans are now hopeful. With Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan teaming up again after their cult blockbuster Gabbar Singh, expectations around the album of UBS have skyrocketed. DSP’s energetic tunes and whistle-worthy background score were key highlights of Gabbar Singh, and this first single strongly hints that he may finally be regaining his mojo.
If DSP delivers his trademark massy, electrifying score, Ustaad Bhagat Singh could ignite massive euphoria at the box office.
Akhanda 2 Faces Crucial Weekday Test
Monday has arrived, and this is where the real test begins for any big film. No matter how strong the opening weekend is, weekday occupancy inevitably drops — and the extent of that drop often determines whether a film sustains its momentum or slows down early.
Akhanda 2 opened on a strong note throughout its first three days. Collections were solid, and in many centres shows ran houseful despite the mixed talk. Producer Dil Raju revealed that the Nizam region has already recovered nearly 70% of its investment, a notable achievement. The Ceeded region is also performing healthily. When compared to the massive hype that typically surrounds sequels, Akhanda 2 may appear slightly behind; however, Balakrishna’s image and the brand value of Akhanda have undoubtedly powered the film’s solid opening.
The real journey starts now. Unlike the first film, the sequel hasn’t received unanimous positive feedback, and that mixed reception is reflecting in certain pockets. Another concern is the elevated ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh, which have been allowed to continue from premieres into regular shows for almost ten days. This decision may hurt the film in mass-centric B and C centres, where Balakrishna commands enormous following and where repeat audience significantly boosts the overall run. Even a ₹75 hike in single screens could impact footfalls and reduce repeat viewings.
If Akhanda 2 manages to hold steady through this week, it can comfortably be considered safe. A grand success meet was held yesterday, with the entire team in attendance. Balakrishna spoke with strong confidence, hinting that this could become his fifth blockbuster. That optimism will hold true only if the film maintains a solid two-week run without major drops.
However, if collections fluctuate sharply, the film could face hurdles ahead. It has not yet reached break-even, and with a high target to meet, the recovery process may take time. The production house is yet to release the official three-day gross figures. Industry buzz suggests that the film has crossed the ₹100 crore gross milestone, but we will have clarity once the official numbers are announced.

Renowned music composer Mickey J Meyer has shared his delight in being part of Champion and expressed heartfelt appreciation for his journey with Swapna Cinema.

NBK111: Balakrishna to Sing a Powerful New Track
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s passion for singing is well known, and his energetic live performances have always been a treat for fans. He previously turned a full-fledged playback singer with Puri Jagannadh’s Paisa Vasool, where he sang the iconic track “Mama Ek Peg La”—a song that became a chartbuster across generations.
Although he hasn’t sung for his films since then, Balakrishna has continued to perform at public events, adding his trademark charisma and liveliness. Now, the superstar is all set to lend his voice once again—this time for his upcoming film NBK111.
Balakrishna and music director Thaman have formed one of the most successful actor–composer combinations in recent times, working together on five consecutive films. NBK111 marks their sixth collaboration, showcasing a bond that is rare in the industry today.
Directed by Gopichand Malineni, who previously joined forces with Balakrishna for Veera Simha Reddy, NBK111 is a periodic action drama set in a historical backdrop. Thaman, who shares long-standing rapport with the director as well, has now confirmed that Balakrishna will sing a powerful song in the film.
Speaking about the special number, Thaman said:
“Balakrishna garu sings very well. We are planning a full-fledged song for him in NBK111. Since the film is set in the era of kingdoms, I want to compose something with strong vibrations—similar to the impact of ‘Saahore Baahubali’ from Baahubali 2.”
With this, fans can officially look forward to Balakrishna’s return as a singer.
NBK111 features Nayanthara as the female lead, and the shoot is set to begin in the coming weeks. Acclaimed cinematographer Arvind Kashyap, known for his work in Kantara, will handle the visuals. The film is being bankrolled by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner.
With Balakrishna’s powerful presence, Thaman’s music, and a grand historical setting, NBK111 is already creating strong anticipation among fans and audiences.
Sahana Sahana Promo Impresses Fans

Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory, the film is gearing up for a festive theatrical release.
Composed by Thaman, “Sahana Sahana…” is a soothing melody that instantly stands out for its pleasant vibe, beautiful composition, and visually rich presentation.

Shot on Prabhas and Nidhi Agarwal, the promo highlights picturesque locations and elegant visual styling, further elevating the song’s appeal.
The makers have confirmed that the full lyrical video will be released on December 17 at 6:35 PM.
Raja Saab is crafted as a horror-comedy entertainer, a genre that director Maruthi is well known for. With a worldwide release set for January 9, the film aims to add to the Sankranti festival excitement.

With the song promo striking the right chord, the buzz surrounding Raja Saab continues to grow steadily as fans eagerly await more updates.
Anil Ravipudi’s Chiranjeevi Collaboration for Sankranthi 2026
Anil Ravipudi, who began his career as a script and dialogue writer, made his directorial debut with Pataas. With his very first film turning into a blockbuster, Anil quickly established himself as a successful director, delivering one hit after another. Last year, his Vastunnam became a Sankranthi blockbuster, earning him a reputation as a hitmaker in Tollywood.
Despite his consistent successes, a section of the audience often criticizes his comedy sequences, labeling them as cringe-worthy on social media. However, Anil has never let such negativity affect him. Recently, he clarified his approach, saying that he believes only in the content itself. Social media trolls are natural, he explained, but he does not pay attention to them. Anil emphasized that he never compromises on quality and is willing to spend as needed to ensure the right execution. His primary concern is whether the producer who trusted him and invested in the project is satisfied after the film’s release.
Currently, Anil Ravipudi is collaborating with Tollywood megastar Chiranjeevi on Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. This film is generating massive expectations as it marks the first Chiranjeevi-Anil combination and follows Anil’s Vastunnam released last Sankranthi. Set to hit theaters on January 12, the film is highly anticipated as a Sankranthi treat for audiences.
Bhagya Shri Borse’s Tollywood Rising Star
Bhagya Shri Borse made her Tollywood debut with Mr. Bachchan, and regardless of the film’s success, opportunities have continued to come her way. After Mr. Bachchan, Kingdom failed to make a mark, but recently, she returned with two films released within a short span of two weeks—Kanta and Andhra King-related projects. Regardless of their commercial performance, Bhagya Shri impressed audiences with her glamour and acting skills in both films.
Her talent has started gaining recognition, and more opportunities are coming her way. She is already involved in two more films, and most recently, she has been cast as the heroine in a female-centric film under the Swapna Cinemas banner, directed by a debutant filmmaker. This is undoubtedly a lucky break for her, as both Vijayanti Banner and Swapna Cinemas are known for top-class productions. A female-oriented film, especially at an early stage in her career, is an even bigger opportunity. The director, Ramesh, plans to present a completely different and unique story in this project. After impressing audiences with her work in the Andhra King-related project, Bhagya Shri aims to showcase her talent once again.
Bhagya Shri has always been waiting for a role that allows her to demonstrate her full potential, and Swapna Cinemas appears to offer exactly that. The film’s title has been finalized as Chukkalu Temmanaa Tenchuku Ranaa, though the lead actor paired opposite her is yet to be confirmed.
Opportunities for Bhagya Shri continue to come irrespective of box-office results, but if she also rides a success streak, there will be no looking back. If she gains star recognition in Telugu cinema, it could extend beyond the region, potentially giving her Pan-India fame. With her acting performance in Kanta and the Andhra King-related film impressing makers, strong roles are likely to keep coming her way in Tollywood.
Bondi Beach Mass Shooting Shocks Australia
Just hours after a tragic shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island, another horrifying mass shooting has struck — this time at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. On December 14, 2025, during a Hanukkah celebration called Chanukah by the Sea, gunmen opened fire on the crowd, leaving at least 12 people dead and 29 injured.
The attack, which occurred at a popular Jewish community event, unfolded in the late afternoon as people gathered to celebrate the festival of lights. Witnesses described panic, screams and people fleeing for safety after multiple shots were fired.
New South Wales Police responded quickly, and authorities have taken two suspects into custody, while one of the gunmen was killed during the incident. The area was secured after the active threat was neutralised and the public was urged to avoid the scene as investigations continue.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the violence, describing the scenes as “shocking and distressing” and affirming that emergency responders were working to assist the injured and secure the area.
International leaders also reacted, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemning the attack, offering condolences to the families of the victims, and expressing solidarity with the people of Australia during this painful time.
Authorities are treating the Bondi Beach shooting as a terrorist incident with possible antisemitic motivations, given the timing and location at a Jewish festival. This marks one of the deadliest mass shootings in Australia in nearly three decades, highlighting the devastating impact of targeted violence and prompting calls for unity and stronger protections for all communities.
Why Jagan Keeps YSR’s Close Associates at a Distance
There are many senior leaders who genuinely wish to see Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy succeed in politics. Even though not all of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s close associates are part of YSRCP today, several of them still hold deep affection for their late friend’s son and hope he emerges stronger in the political arena.
Yet, for reasons known only to him, Jagan has been reluctant to bring many of YSR’s trusted aides and long-time associates into the party structure. Except for a select few, most of YSR’s loyal companions have been kept at a noticeable distance. To many, it appears as though Jagan does not want their influence—direct or indirect—around him.
Even Sureedu, who was inseparable from YSR during his political journey, was sidelined early in Jagan’s leadership. Why these decisions were made remains unclear, and ultimately, it is up to the son to decide whether he wants to carry forward all of his father’s associates—there is no rule binding him to do so.
Recently, former MP and senior political analyst Undavalli Arun Kumar met with YSRCP leader and former minister Ambati Rambabu, a moment that Rambabu himself shared on his channel. This meeting has revived discussions within YSRCP circles about the value of having someone like Undavalli in the party—a sharp thinker and an honest voice whose analyses often support YSRCP’s political narrative.
Undavalli has always expressed respect and affection for YSR, often recalling that it was KVP Ramachandra Rao—one of YSR’s closest confidants—who introduced him to the late leader. Despite this, leaders who believe Undavalli’s presence would strengthen the party hesitate to suggest it openly to Jagan.
It’s not just Undavalli; many feel YSRCP would benefit from bringing in more of YSR’s respected associates and intellectual allies. Leaders like Ambati Rambabu seem to share this sentiment, but these quiet attempts appear to have made little progress. As a result, relationships with YSR’s old friends remain limited to personal interactions rather than official party roles.
While there is a clear desire within the party to welcome more intellectuals and honest voices, invisible barriers continue to prevent these ideas from moving forward—leaving several senior leaders privately disappointed.
Sr. NTR Cameo Rumour Disappoints Akhanda 2 Fans
Balakrishna’s much-awaited Akhanda 2 has finally hit theatres, but the reception has been mixed, leaning more toward the negative side. Before the release, a strong rumour went viral claiming that legendary actor Sr. NTR would make a special appearance as Lord Shiva. This speculation created tremendous excitement among Nandamuri fans.
However, audiences were left disappointed when no such cameo appeared in the film. Instead, the Shiva sequence featured a Hindi television actor known for playing the deity on TV, which came as an unexpected choice.
When questioned about how this rumour began and why the makers opted for this casting, industry insiders revealed that the core decision-making team believed Sr. NTR’s image would resonate primarily with Telugu audiences, not with viewers across the country. Since Akhanda 2 was envisioned as a pan-India project, they reportedly felt an actor familiar to North Indian viewers would be more suitable.
Many fans disagree with this reasoning, calling it narrow-minded. They argue that Sr. NTR’s legacy is national, timeless, and deeply rooted in Indian cinema’s mythological portrayal. According to them, his presence—even in a brief cameo—would have created massive hype in the Telugu states and beyond. For divine roles, fans strongly feel that NTR’s impact remains unparalleled.
“Just imagining Sr. NTR appearing as Lord Shiva gives goosebumps. I don’t know why the makers missed such a golden opportunity,” a netizen commented, echoing the sentiment many fans share today.
