Kiran Abbavaram Inspires with Powerful Speech on Dreams & Talent
At the launch event of Thimmarajupalli TV, Kiran Abbavaram delivered an inspiring and heartfelt speech, emphasizing courage, dreams, and the importance of giving back.
He spoke about believing in one’s dreams even before achieving success, recalling how he once promised himself that he would support others after establishing his career. Staying true to that promise, he revealed that this film reflects that commitment by introducing newcomers instead of relying on established names, despite the risks involved.
Sharing a personal anecdote, Kiran said that Muniraj, who previously worked on online editing for his films, had expressed a desire to become a director. Encouraged by his passion, Kiran asked him to come back with a story. He admitted that at that time, he neither had the financial backing nor clarity about his own future, but he always believed that once he settled down, he would help aspiring talents.
He urged young artists to overcome fear and take risks, stating that success ultimately comes to those who keep trying. Highlighting the journey of lead actor Sai Tej, who once worked as an assistant cameraman, Kiran underlined how the right opportunity can transform lives when talent meets support.
Kiran clarified that Thimmarajupalli TV is not just a film, but a platform created for many aspiring individuals waiting for their breakthrough.
He also shared a nostalgic childhood memory, recalling how there was only one television in his village where everyone gathered to watch programs together. He connected this to the film’s story, mentioning a similar incident set in 1995, where villagers rented a TV during Shivaratri and watched movies collectively.
Concluding his speech, Kiran praised the dedication and sacrifices of newcomers, stating that true passion often requires stepping out of one’s comfort zone. His message was simple yet impactful—support genuine cinema, encourage fresh talent, and believe in stories rooted in real experiences.
Dhurandhar 2 Storm Forces Box Office Rethink
The sensational box office run of Dhurandhar 2 across India and overseas has clearly lived up to its massive hype. Ever since the first installment turned out to be a surprise blockbuster, trade analysts strongly believed that very few films could withstand a clash with its sequel.
Kannada star Yash initially sounded confident about facing the competition, repeatedly stating that he wouldn’t step back from a box-office clash. However, as the release date approached, the situation changed. His film, which was originally scheduled for March 19, was later pushed to June, reportedly due to major North Indian multiplex chains prioritizing Dhurandhar 2 and limiting screens for other releases.
At the same time, Ranveer Singh’s film is witnessing a phenomenal response, with expectations of record-breaking opening weekend numbers in India. In North America too, it is on track to set new benchmarks, potentially surpassing the opening weekend collections of Kalki 2898 AD.
On the flip side, Pawan Kalyan appears to have faced the impact of this box-office wave. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is struggling, especially in overseas markets like North America, where it is finding it difficult to post even decent numbers.
In hindsight, Yash’s decision to postpone his film now looks like a smart and strategic move rather than a reluctant one, as it helped him avoid a potential box-office setback against a dominant release.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh Struggles to Hit $1M in North America
The weekend run of Ustaad Bhagat Singh is yet to conclude, with Sunday numbers still pending. However, a clear picture has already emerged regarding its performance in North America.
The film is set to become a disappointing milestone in Pawan Kalyan’s career, as it is likely to be his first film that may not even cross the $1 million mark in the region. This comes as a surprise, considering his previous films have comfortably grossed $3 million, with some even earning around $1.5 million from premiere shows alone.
Current estimates suggest that the film’s first weekend total, including Sunday, will be around $700K+. Even with a slight boost, it may only just approach the $1 million mark by the end of its full run.
This underperformance is a major setback for Mythri Movie Makers, which had high expectations from the project. The banner reportedly anticipated at least $2 million from North America but is now facing the reality of a much lower finish.
The North American rights were valued at approximately ₹12 crore, and although the film was released through a distributor, it was essentially a commission-based arrangement. This means the bulk of the financial losses in the region will be borne by the production house itself.
Overall, the film’s overseas performance has turned out to be far below expectations, raising concerns in trade circles.
Prabhas Rumoured to Plan Italy Move with New Villa Purchase
A fresh buzz surrounding Prabhas is currently doing the rounds, suggesting that the star might be planning to settle in Europe, particularly in Italy, in the future.
This speculation stems from reports that Prabhas is considering purchasing another property in Italy. The actor is known to have a strong liking for the country, often choosing it as a preferred destination during his breaks. He reportedly enjoys the weather, scenic locations, and overall atmosphere there. Earlier rumours had even claimed that he already owns a luxurious villa in Italy, where he stays during vacations and rents it out at other times, although these reports were never officially confirmed.
Now, with talk of him planning to acquire another villa, fresh speculation has emerged about a possible long-term move. Adding to this narrative, Prabhas is also said to have opted for Europe for his knee treatment, instead of more common choices like the United States or Singapore.
Despite being one of the highest-paid actors, reportedly charging around ₹100 crore per film, Prabhas has largely stayed away from extensive business ventures, unlike stars such as Mahesh Babu or Ram Charan. While these developments have fueled curiosity, there has been no official confirmation from the actor regarding any plans to settle abroad.
Peddi Targets $3M US Box Office Amid Tough Market
The United States box office has been increasingly volatile in recent years, with audiences not turning up in expected numbers even for big-ticket films. This trend has made overseas markets more challenging, forcing distributors to be cautious with their investments.
Amid this scenario, Peddi has locked a notable deal in the US market. The film’s distribution rights have reportedly been acquired for around ₹25 crore by Prathyangira Cinemas. This sets a steep target of nearly $3 million at the US box office—an ambitious figure given the current market conditions.
However, with Ram Charan leading the film, there is optimism among trade circles. His strong overseas fan base and proven box office pull could play a crucial role in driving footfall. Additionally, the film’s raw and rustic backdrop might connect well with audiences, offering something different from routine commercial entertainers.
Industry experts believe that Peddi’s success in the US will largely depend on effective marketing, a well-planned release strategy, and positive word of mouth. If these factors align with Ram Charan’s star power, reaching the $3 million mark is achievable.
Despite the competitive overseas environment, the combination of a top-tier star and engaging content can still deliver strong results. Distributors and trade analysts are closely tracking this release, as it could set a new benchmark for Telugu films in the US market.

Kangana Ranaut Praises Aditya Dhar as Superstar Director
Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut is known for expressing candid opinions on issues others avoid. In her latest Instagram post, she highlighted how superstars in Bollywood often overshadow and bully filmmakers, contrasting it with Hollywood, where directors like Spielberg, Tarantino, and Nolan often hold equal or greater stature than actors.
Kangana praised director Aditya Dhar for the overwhelming success of his film Dhurandhar 2, calling him a “superstar director” and noting that his achievements set an inspiring example for aspiring filmmakers. She wrote that Indian filmmakers often remain overworked, underpaid, and unrecognized, which discourages young talent from pursuing careers behind the camera.
Kangana’s post emphasized the importance of giving filmmakers their due respect, applauding Dhar for shining brighter than many actors and inspiring the next generation to elevate the Indian film industry. Several prominent Tollywood stars, including Allu Arjun, Vijay Deverakonda, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR, also lauded Dhar for his exceptional work.

Divi Vadthya Disappointed with Role in Pushpa 2
Actress Divi Vadthya has candidly opened up about her disappointment with her role in Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil.
During her appearance on the Visual Talks Podcast, Divi revealed that she was initially told her character would have significant importance in the film. With those expectations, she joined the project with great excitement.
However, things took a disappointing turn after she watched the final cut. Divi shared that she had dedicated nearly 20 days to shooting and spent another 10 days dubbing for her role, which made the end result even more surprising and disheartening.

Her comments have now sparked conversations among film audiences, highlighting a common issue in the industry—where actors are promised substantial roles during filming, but their screen presence gets significantly altered in the final edit.
