YS Family Christmas Celebrations See Sharmila Missing
The YS family has long been known for celebrating Christmas in a grand and traditional manner, usually gathering at their ancestral residence in Pulivendula to mark the occasion together. This year, the tradition appears to have continued, with the family once again coming together at their well-known Pulivendula home.
Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was seen participating in the celebrations along with several other family members. Pictures from the gathering are now doing the rounds on social media, drawing considerable attention.
What stands out in the circulating photograph is the presence of almost all key members of the YS family—except YS Sharmila. Notably, after a long gap, YS Vijayamma and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy were seen together in the same frame, reportedly due to the Christmas celebration. However, Sharmila’s absence has not gone unnoticed.
Adding to the speculation, there is no official confirmation on whether the photograph is from this year’s Christmas celebration or from a previous occasion. The individual seated above Vijayamma on the staircase is believed to be Sharmila’s son, Raja Reddy, though this detail too remains unverified. Sharmila, her husband Anil Kumar, and their daughter are not seen in the picture.
The image has once again fueled discussions about the continuing rift within the YS family, with many speculating that the differences may have deepened to a point where even festivals like Christmas—once a unifying occasion—are no longer celebrated together as a single, united family.
Ravi Babu Goes Dark with Action Thriller Razor
Filmmaker Ravi Babu, known for his penchant for unconventional storytelling, is once again pushing boundaries with his radically different new venture titled Razor. After the humor-centric Enuguthondam Ghatikachalam, the director makes a striking shift into the grim and brutal world of crime and violence, crafting an intense action thriller.
Adding weight to the project, the film is being presented by Suresh Babu under the prestigious Suresh Productions banner, marking another notable collaboration between the two seasoned filmmakers.
Ravi Babu wears multiple hats for Razor—directing the film while also playing the lead role. This time, he steps into a fierce and ruthless character, perfectly aligning with the film’s dark, gritty, and deadly tone.
The recently released title glimpse has grabbed attention for its raw and aggressive visual style. It teases a violent underworld where Ravi Babu’s character takes on hardened criminals with an uncompromising and relentless approach.
With shooting nearing completion, Razor is shaping up to be Ravi Babu’s boldest experiment yet. The film is slated for a Summer 2026 theatrical release, and expectations are steadily building around this daring new chapter in his career.
God of War Turns Into Jr NTR vs Allu Arjun Star Tug of War
There has been massive anticipation surrounding director Trivikram Srinivas’ ambitious mythological project God of War, which is said to be inspired by the Hindu deity Lord Murugan. However, if industry buzz is to be believed, the film has now turned into a high-profile tug of war between two top stars — Jr NTR and Allu Arjun.
Initially, strong rumours suggested that Trivikram would collaborate with Allu Arjun on this grand venture. Following the release of Guntur Kaaram, reports indicated that Trivikram and Bunny were planning a pan-India mythological film, expected to go on floors after the release of Pushpa. Although there was no official announcement, the project generated significant excitement.
However, after Pushpa, Allu Arjun chose to team up with Atlee, leading to a shift in plans. Around the same time, Trivikram reportedly decided to take the project to Jr NTR. This phase saw producer Naga Vamshi officially acknowledging the project, further strengthening the buzz. Jr NTR was even spotted carrying the book God of War, adding fuel to speculation. Reports stated that the film would begin once NTR completed his ongoing project with Prashant Neel and Trivikram wrapped up his film with Venkatesh.
Now, the rumour mill has taken another turn. Latest reports suggest that the project may have swung back to Allu Arjun, with plans to commence shooting in February 2027, after Bunny completes his current film with Atlee. Adding to the hype, it is being speculated that God of War will be made on a staggering budget of over ₹1000 crore, and an official announcement is expected soon.
These frequent twists have left fans confused and divided, with heated debates breaking out over who will ultimately headline the film. Given that producer Naga Vamshi is known for quickly shutting down misinformation, fans are now eagerly waiting for an official clarification to put an end to the speculation.
Until then, God of War continues to remain one of the most talked-about and mysterious projects in Indian cinema.
