Raj & Samantha Choose Satvik Meal for Wedding

Share


Guests were served a simple plate of cucumber salad, dal rice, mixed vegetables, chutney, and ragi mudde.

After weeks of speculation and unconfirmed reports, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru—one half of the celebrated director duo Raj & DK—have finally tied the knot. Fans were taken by surprise when Samantha announced her wedding early in the morning, putting an end to months of anticipation.

The ceremony was intimate, deeply spiritual, and filled with positive, grounding energy. Held at the sacred Linga Bhairavi temple, the wedding followed the traditional Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaah rituals. Samantha’s close friend, fashion designer Shilpa Reddy, shared a few serene glimpses from the event, reflecting purity, simplicity, and soulful celebration.

One aspect that immediately grabbed attention was the food. Staying true to the minimalist and spiritual theme, the couple opted for a satvik, traditional menu instead of an elaborate spread. Guests were served a humble plate of cucumber salad, dal rice, mixed vegetables, chutney, and ragi mudde—without any chaats, pizzas, or multi-course luxury dishes.

The simple meal perfectly matched the tranquil ambiance of the Isha Foundation, known for its emphasis on ritualistic purity, calm, and traditional living.

Prabhas: The Ultimate Indian Superstar

Share


Few actors in Indian cinema have reached the global stature and fan devotion that Prabhas enjoys today. His meteoric rise from a regional star to a worldwide cinematic force places him among the greatest actors of this era—if not the greatest ever—backed by record-breaking box office numbers, unmatched popularity, and a lineup of monumental projects. Here’s what makes Prabhas a phenomenon powering modern Indian cinema.

Prabhas redefined commercial benchmarks with an unprecedented streak of ₹100-crore opening days. Starting with Baahubali 2, followed by Saaho, and then an extraordinary hat-trick with Adipurush, Salaar, and Kalki, he achieved a feat no other Indian actor has come close to matching.

Every Prabhas release becomes a pan-India celebration, drawing audiences from all regions, languages, and countries. His films create rare cultural moments—events that unite fans across borders and elevate cinema into a shared national experience.

His fanbase, lovingly known as “Darlings,” reflects a unique relationship between the star and his admirers. Their enthusiasm famously halted the shoot of Baahubali, forcing the team to rework schedules. Today, even international locations like Japan face logistical challenges during Prabhas’s shoots due to his overwhelming global following.

Their enthusiasm famously halted the shoot of Baahubali, forcing the team to rework schedules. Today, even international locations like Japan face logistical challenges during Prabhas’s shoots due to his overwhelming global following.

This global fandom speaks volumes about the emotional resonance he carries. In 2020, he received the prestigious “Russian Audience Heart” award—becoming only the second Indian actor after Raj Kapoor to be honored. In China, fans have even edited Prabhas into the Avengers lineup, showcasing his massive digital influence.

Prabhas’s journey is rooted in discipline, patience, and relentless hard work. He spent five years dedicated solely to the Baahubali saga, even relocating to Ramoji Film City to fully immerse himself in the character. His intense physical transformation—powered by advanced training routines inspired by elite U.S. gyms—added authenticity and depth to his performance. This commitment continues to define his screen presence.

His impact extends far beyond box office success. Prabhas became the first South Indian actor to receive a wax statue at Madame Tussauds Bangkok. The merged re-release of Baahubali shattered records, becoming the highest-opening re-release in Indian cinema history and proving the film’s lasting legacy.

With a monumental slate ahead—including Spirit, Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam, The Raja Saab, Fauzi, and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2—Prabhas is poised to push boundaries even further.

Ultimately, Prabhas’s greatness lies not just in his records or accolades, but in his sincerity, humility, and deep connection with millions of fans. His evolution from a regional icon to a global phenomenon remains one of Indian cinema’s most inspiring stories—a testament to his talent, dedication, and the unwavering love he receives from audiences across the world.

SRK’s Emotional Acting Tip That Changed Ananya Panday’s Career

Share


Ananya Panday, one of Bollywood’s most promising young stars, recently revealed a profound acting tip she received from Shah Rukh Khan—one that has completely transformed the way she performs emotional scenes. Speaking at IFF Season 15, Ananya recounted the moment SRK shared his insight with her.

“He once told me that in a scene where someone dies, don’t focus on the person being dead,” she said. “Instead, think about how life would feel without them—remember the happy moments, their absence, that unfillable void. That emotion will bring a deeper, more honest sadness.”

This piece of wisdom helped Ananya understand that grief isn’t just about tears or sudden sorrow—it’s about the slow, lingering ache created by memories and the realization of permanent loss. Known for his masterful emotional performances, Shah Rukh Khan’s method encourages actors to tap into lived experiences rather than simply perform sadness on cue.

Ananya shared that this guidance has reshaped her approach to intense and emotional scenes, influencing her performances even today. As she steps into more mature and challenging roles, SRK’s advice has become a foundational pillar in her craft, helping her bring authenticity and vulnerability to the screen.

With mentorship from one of Indian cinema’s greatest icons, Ananya Panday continues to grow as an actor, adding depth, sincerity, and emotional intelligence to her evolving body of work.

Nagabandham’s ₹20 Cr Climax Shocks Tollywood

Share


Abhishek Nama’s ambitious mythological action drama Nagabandham is being mounted on a massive scale, with the team sparing no expense to bring the story’s grandeur to life. Featuring Virat Karrna in the lead, the film delves into the enigmatic concept of Nagabandham, drawing inspiration from recent discoveries of ancient temple treasures, including those at the famed Padmanabha Swamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.

Blending mythology, ancient rituals, and an element of mystery, the narrative aims to present age-old spiritual traditions in a visually rich, contemporary manner for today’s audience.

Director Abhishek Nama is reportedly taking exceptional care to deliver the story with cinematic splendor, while producers Kishore Annapureddy and Nishitha Nagireddy are backing the project with a significant budget to match its epic vision. As part of this effort, the team has constructed several elaborate temple sets—so realistic that they are said to be indistinguishable from actual historic temples.

Currently, the unit is shooting the film’s grand climax at Ramanaidu Studios, and it promises to be a showstopper. The sequence revolves around a massive, intricately designed door created by production designer Ashok Kumar, symbolizing the sanctity of Nagabandham. An astonishing ₹20 crore has reportedly been spent on the climax portion alone, making it one of the most expensive climax sequences in recent times.

International stunt director Kecha Khamphakdee from Thailand is choreographing the action, ensuring intense, high-impact visuals. Media personnel who visited the sets on Tuesday were stunned by the scale, detail, and grandeur of the shoot.

With production now nearing completion, the makers are gearing up to kick-start promotions. Teasers, behind-the-scenes videos, and more promotional material will soon be unveiled to build anticipation around this mythological spectacle.

US Firm’s Bold H-1B Sponsorship Push Targets IIT Talent

Share


A US-based technology firm has launched an eye-catching recruitment campaign outside IIT Delhi, signalling its continued commitment to sponsoring H-1B visas despite rising costs and tightening immigration policies. Large hoardings placed near the campus boldly declare messages such as “We still sponsor H-1Bs” and “$100K isn’t going to stop us from hiring the best,” directly addressing concerns among engineering graduates about the future of US work opportunities.

According to a Bloomberg report, the company has rolled out similar advertisements across multiple top engineering institutes in India. The unusually public campaign comes at a time when proposed H-1B reforms — including the possibility of a steep $100,000 fee for new visa applications — are reshaping hiring strategies for many US employers. While some smaller firms have pulled back from international recruitment due to the uncertainty, major players with high-skilled talent needs appear willing to absorb the increased costs.

For generations, IIT graduates have regarded the United States as the pinnacle destination for career growth. However, the evolving visa environment, broader political shifts under President Donald Trump, and the financial impact of proposed fee hikes are prompting many to reassess their plans. Bloomberg also reports a decline in applications from Indian students to US universities since Trump returned to office, reflecting this changing outlook.

At the same time, India’s own tech ecosystem is growing at an unprecedented pace, supported by large global firms like Microsoft and Amazon establishing major development centres in the country. As opportunities expand at home, young engineers are increasingly confident in building high-impact careers within India. The recruitment drive by the US firm serves as a reminder that while challenges persist, top international companies remain keen to attract India’s brightest talent.

Sam Altman Declares ‘Code Red’ as OpenAI Races to Counter Google’s Gemini 3

Share


OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reportedly issued a “code red,” instructing teams to urgently accelerate improvements to ChatGPT in response to intensifying competition from Google’s newly launched Gemini 3 model, according to a report by The Information.

In an internal memo, Altman described the current phase as a “critical time” for ChatGPT, noting that Gemini 3 has outperformed competitors on several major benchmarks. The Google model’s strong market reception is expected to create “temporary economic headwinds,” with Altman cautioning employees that industry sentiment “will be rough for a bit.”

The competitive pressure escalated after influential figures publicly endorsed Gemini 3. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff praised the system’s “insane” advancements in reasoning, speed, and multimedia capabilities, saying he was “not going back” after testing it.

Despite the mounting challenges, ChatGPT continues to lead globally, boasting around 800 million weekly users. Nonetheless, OpenAI is redirecting internal resources to focus intensely on product upgrades. Plans to introduce advertising within ChatGPT have been put on hold to avoid distractions.

OpenAI is currently operating at a financial loss but expects annual revenues to surpass £16 billion (approximately $20 billion) in 2025. With a valuation of £400 billion, the company is preparing for a massive long-term investment plan, pledging $1.4 trillion in data center spending over the next eight years to power future AI systems.

Altman has emphasized that the greatest risk OpenAI faces is not having sufficient computing power, underscoring the strategic urgency behind the “code red” initiative as the company works to maintain its leadership in an increasingly competitive AI landscape.

For the next year, Mohanlal already has several projects lined up. He has wrapped up work on Drishyam 3 with director Jeethu Joseph, which is locked for a summer release next year.

Alongside this, Mohanlal will also feature in superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. While continuing his own Malayalam projects, he is supporting Rajinikanth’s Tamil film. Mohanlal’s working style ensures that he never overshadows younger heroes, and he maintains a busy schedule with consecutive shoots.

Expectations are high for Drishyam 3, and fans are eager to see if the film meets them. Telugu fans are also hoping Mohanlal will continue to appear in more films in their language. Meanwhile, his role in Jailer 2 with Rajinikanth is rumored to be particularly special.

సూపర్ హీరో జానర్‌లో తెర‌కెక్కిన మ‌ల‌యాళ చిత్రం లోకా చాప్టర్-1: చంద్ర గ్రాండ్ సక్సెస్ సాధించింది. క‌ళ్యాణి ప్రియ‌ద‌ర్శ‌న్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలో నటించిన ఈ చిత్రాన్ని దుల్క‌ర్ స‌ల్మాన్ నిర్మించారు. అయితే, దుల్క‌ర్ నిర్మాత అయినప్పటికీ ఓటీటీ హక్కుల కోసం ఎవరూ ముందుకు రాకపోవడం ఆశ్చర్యాన్నిచ్చింది. ఇటీవల ఇంటర్వ్యూలో దుల్క‌ర్ స్వయంగా దీన్ని ధృవీకరించారు.

“మేము బడ్జెట్ పరిమితులను మించిపోయాము, రెండింత‌లకు చేరాం. ఎవరు సినిమాను కొనడానికి ఆసక్తి చూపించలేదు. టోవినో, నేను అక్కడ ఉన్నాము.. కానీ మీరు కొన్ని నిమిషాలు మాత్రమే కనిపిస్తారు!” అని దుల్క‌ర్ చెప్పారు.

పెద్ద తార‌ల స్క్రీన్ టైమ్ కూడా ఓటీటీ ఒప్పందాలకు ప్రభావం చూపుతుందని దుల్క‌ర్ తెలిపాడు. పెద్ద తారలు ఎక్కువ స్క్రీన్ టైమ్ కలిగి ఉంటే, ఓటీటీలు ఎక్కువ చెల్లిస్తాయి అని కూడా ధృవీకరించారు.
