A debut venture from director Praneeth Prattipati, Patang revolves around a kite-flying competition. Starring Preethi Pagadala, Vamssi Pujit, Pranav Kaushik, and S.P. Charan, it is being described as a sports comedy—a relatively new genre in Telugu cinema.

Akhanda 2: Thaandavam – Balakrishna’s Pan-India Action Thriller

Share


The highly anticipated sequel to Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 2021 blockbuster Akhanda is set to hit theaters across India on December 5, 2025, releasing in multiple languages. Titled Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, this marks Balakrishna’s first nationwide release, following the pan-Indian popularity of the original film after its digital debut.

While promotional activity for the film has been gradual, fans were treated to a special Diwali announcement revealing the release of the second teaser, titled BLASTING ROAR, on Friday, October 24. Unlike a song, this teaser will provide a brief but impactful glimpse of the movie, centering on Murali Krishna, one of the twin brothers played by Balakrishna.

In the original Akhanda, Balakrishna portrayed twin roles: Akhanda and Murali Krishna. The first half largely focused on Murali Krishna, a farmer entangled in intense action sequences against the villain played by Srikanth. The first teaser, released in June, highlighted Akhanda and went viral, especially for its iconic trishul action scene. Fans can expect the upcoming teaser to be equally thrilling, featuring powerful dialogues that showcase the signature style of Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu.

Akhanda 2: Thaandavam stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Samyukta Menon, and Aadi Pinisetty. The film is written and directed by Boyapati Sreenu, produced by Raam Achanta and Gopi Achanta under 14 Reels Plus, and presented by M. Tejaswini Nandamuri. The music is composed by Thaman S, promising a high-octane soundtrack to match the film’s action-packed narrative.

Although reports suggest that Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna got engaged earlier this month in a private Hyderabad ceremony, the couple has yet to make an official announcement. Both stars continue to maintain a low profile and remain focused on their individual professional commitments.

In previous years, Rashmika often shared glimpses of her time at Vijay’s residence during major festivals like Diwali, subtly highlighting their relationship. This year, however, she refrained from posting any such visuals, despite being reportedly engaged.

Meanwhile, Vijay took to Instagram to share festive moments from his terrace, featuring Diwali fireworks and celebrations with family and friends—without Rashmika in the frame.

The prequel to the 2022 blockbuster released on October 2nd amid high expectations and opened to a phenomenal response in all territories, fueled by strong pre-release hype and visually striking trailers.

The film has made history in Kannada cinema, becoming the highest-grossing film ever in Karnataka with a collection of ₹200 crores in just 18 days. It has also performed exceptionally well in Telugu-speaking states and the North Indian circuit. While the Telugu version’s theatrical run is nearing its end due to new Diwali releases, the Hindi version continues to post strong numbers, benefiting from limited competition in Bollywood.

This brings the film’s overall tally to nearly ₹180 crores in 19 days, putting it on track to cross the ₹200 crore mark in its full theatrical run.

Known for her versatile work across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi films, Regina has captured hearts with her acting and item songs, earning a devoted fan following even without blockbuster hits.

Please give me lassi, and God will bless you!” Her friends froze, unsure whether she was joking or serious—a classic Regina moment.

Amid fears that the shopkeeper might spread the news of her “pregnancy,” luck was on their side, and she managed to get her lassi.

Interestingly, the incident was later misrepresented by the media, showing how even the simplest stories can take on a life of their own.

Ram Pothineni on Nepotism and Star Kids’ Pressure

Share


In Indian cinema, the entry of star kids into the film industry often sparks debate over nepotism. While many believe that such actors enjoy easy access to opportunities, others argue that their journey comes with immense expectations and scrutiny. Actor Ram Pothineni recently shared his perspective on the subject during his appearance on the talk show Jayammu Nischayammu Raa with Jagapathi Babu.

Recalling an encounter from his early days, Ram said he met Megastar Chiranjeevi around the time of his debut film Devadasu, which went on to become a hit. “My director YVS Chowdary used to tell me that since I wasn’t a star kid, I needed to work harder with every film,” Ram shared.

He added that meeting Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan for the first time made him nervous as a newcomer. “At that time, I wished I had a father like Chiranjeevi garu who could introduce me to big directors. But later, I realized I had no pressure and could focus completely on acting. I actually feel bad for them because the pressure they face is unimaginable,” he said.

Ram further reflected on how the term nepotism is often misunderstood. “It’s not just about opportunities; it’s also about expectations and the weight of a legacy,” he explained.

Speaking of Ram Charan, the actor continues to uphold his father’s illustrious legacy with dedication and impactful performances, earning admiration across generations of audiences.

On the work front, Ram Pothineni is currently shooting for his upcoming film Andhra King Taluka, directed by Mahesh Babu P and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The film is slated for release on November 28.
