Pawan Kalyan Seeks Court Shield Amid AI Misuse, Film Buzz Grows
After megastar Chiranjeevi, Akkineni Nagarjuna, and even Bollywood icons like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (for her daughter’s image) and Amitabh Bachchan, the next big celebrity to seek legal protection for personal rights is Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan. It’s becoming clear that the trend of actors seeking a digital shield is only growing—and Pawan’s move adds more fuel to that fire.
Pawan has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, requesting safeguards for his personality rights. His plea states that AI-generated videos and misleading social media content using his performances are causing disturbances and misrepresenting him. Acting swiftly, the court directed that the links in question be shared within 48 hours, and ordered platforms like Google and Meta to take necessary action within a week. The next hearing is scheduled for December 22, and fans are watching every development closely.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan’s film career is equally active. This year, he appeared in Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG, keeping his massive fan base engaged. But the real buzz is set for 2026, with his highly anticipated film Ustaad Bhagat Singh targeting a release in the first quarter. The first single, “Dheklenge Saala,” is already trending with reels and shorts across social media.
Originally planned for an April release, rumours now suggest the film may arrive earlier in March, though an official confirmation is still awaited.
Court battles, political responsibilities, and film commitments—Pawan Kalyan is handling all three like a seasoned force of nature.
Naidu’s Heartfelt Birthday Wishes to Superstar Rajinikanth
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday extended warm birthday wishes to legendary actor Rajinikanth. Praising the superstar’s remarkable journey, Naidu said Rajinikanth’s inspiring life story stands tall alongside his extraordinary contributions to cinema.
“Happy Birthday to my dear friend and legendary superstar Rajinikanth. Of the select few who shine as heroes both on screen and off it, he remains among the greatest. Wishing him many happy returns of the day,” Naidu wrote in a post on X.
He also wished Rajinikanth continued good health, happiness, and a long, fulfilling life, celebrating the actor not just as an icon of Indian cinema but as a personality admired across generations.
NTR–Prashanth Neel’s Dragon Restarts Shoot After 6 Months
The long-awaited collaboration between Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel, backed by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, is finally gaining momentum. Announced back in 2021, the project—tentatively titled Dragon—faced multiple delays, with only brief shooting schedules in February and April earlier this year. Since then, the film remained silent with no major updates, leading to speculation among fans.
Now, it’s almost certain that Dragon will be made in two parts, a major shift from the original plan of shooting it as a single film. According to exclusive information, after a six-month gap, the movie is all set to return to the sets on Saturday, December 13. The team reportedly used the break to make crucial script revisions before resuming production.
Director Prashanth Neel has shifted base from Bangalore to Hyderabad to begin the next schedule. Jr NTR, who is already in Hyderabad, is expected to join shortly. This schedule is said to be extremely demanding, featuring over 20 consecutive night shoots for a massive action sequence.
NTR has reportedly undergone a dramatic physical transformation, sporting his leanest look ever for the film. The plan is to shoot both parts together, with Part 1 expected to be wrapped by mid-next year. The makers are targeting a December 2026 or early 2027 release.
Adding to the buzz, Prashanth Neel’s wife Likitha Reddy confirmed the shoot restart through a heartfelt Instagram post featuring Neel and their daughter before he left for Hyderabad.
Dragon stars Jr NTR alongside Rukmini Vasanth and is helmed by Prashanth Neel, with music by Ravi Basrur. The film is one of the most awaited high-voltage action dramas in Indian cinema.
Kavitha Drops Bombshell Allegations on BRS Corruption
Telangana Jagruthi president K. Kavitha has intensified her attacks on the BRS leadership, which she quit three months ago. Speaking at the Jagruthi office on Friday, Kavitha alleged that several former BRS ministers and MLAs were involved in large-scale corruption, land grabbing, and misuse of power throughout the previous regime headed by her father K. Chandrashekar Rao.
She announced that she is issuing legal notices to Kukatpally BRS MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao, BJP leader Alleti Maheshwar Reddy, and T News for what she called baseless, defamatory accusations against her and her husband regarding land encroachment.
Kavitha demanded unconditional apologies within a week, warning that she would initiate legal action if they failed to comply.
Kavitha questioned the BJP’s sudden defence of BRS leaders, stating,
“When I criticise BRS and Congress leaders, why is the BJP getting disturbed?”
She alleged that a “mastermind” operating behind Krishna Rao would soon be exposed, adding that she would approach vigilance authorities and the CBI with formal complaints.
According to Kavitha, widespread corruption, illegal land conversions, and irregularities occurred during the 14-year BRS rule. She said she had revealed only a small portion of the alleged scandals:
“I have only tossed the coin. The test match is yet to begin.”
Kavitha claimed she receives daily complaints about illegal activities by BRS MLAs and former ministers. Recalling the Telangana movement, she alleged that several BRS leaders threatened activists and extorted money during the agitation years.
Responding to allegations against her, she asserted that she had never gained financially during the BRS regime.
“I pledged my jewellery to conduct Bathukamma programmes. I did not earn a single rupee through illegal means,” she said, warning that attempts to shift the blame for BRS corruption onto her would be strongly countered.
Kavitha alleged that many BRS leaders “looted the state like rats” under KCR’s shadow while she was serving as Nizamabad MP in Delhi. She criticised the party for continuing to attack her even after suspending her, declaring that she would not spare the “mastermind” behind these attacks.
In a major charge, Kavitha claimed that BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao personally signed the controversial land-use change GOs that the party is now opposing. Calling out what she termed BRS’s hypocrisy, she said the party opened the “window” for land-related misappropriation, while the current Congress government had opened the “main doors” through its HILT policy.
She further accused Krishna Rao’s son, Pochampalli Srinivas Reddy—allegedly a benami of KTR—of developing lavish villas and apartment complexes by converting industrial land into residential plots during the BRS tenure. Kavitha questioned why the Congress government was ignoring the Pochampalli farmhouse case if it had no involvement in the alleged corruption.
Leveling additional allegations, Kavitha said a 10-acre community lake linked to their real-estate venture was illegally reduced to 6 acres by encroaching upon 4 acres.
“Is that your ancestral property?” she asked, criticising the construction of a protective wall around a public water body.
Concluding her remarks, Kavitha alleged that the leaders in question had created a “KGF-style real-estate empire” through land encroachment, misuse of power, and manipulation of land-use permissions.
Reddit Challenges Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban in High Court
Reddit has filed a legal challenge in the High Court of Australia seeking to overturn the country’s new law that bans social media access for users under 16. The US-based platform, which has a substantial user base in Australia, lodged the case just days after the landmark legislation took effect, making Australia the first nation globally to enforce such an age threshold.
In its submission, Reddit argues the law breaches Australia’s constitutionally implied freedom of political communication. The company claims that preventing under-16s from accessing social media limits their ability to engage in political discussion and form informed opinions—an essential aspect of political participation for young people, as well as the parents and educators who guide them.
Under the legislation, effective 10 December, platforms including Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok must take “reasonable steps” to block users under 16 or face penalties of up to A$49.5 million (approximately ₹447 crore). While Reddit has said it will comply by introducing age-assurance tools such as age inference and estimation technologies, it maintains that the law is fundamentally flawed.
The company argues that mandated verification methods—some of which may require intrusive data collection like facial recognition—create “serious privacy and political expression concerns for everyone online,” including adults. Reddit further contends that it should not be categorised as an ‘age-restricted’ platform at all, asserting that its primary purpose is knowledge-sharing and community discussion rather than real-time social networking.
The lawsuit names the Commonwealth of Australia and Communications Minister Anika Wells as defendants. The government has defended the legislation, stating it stands “on the side of Australian parents and kids, not platforms,” and is prepared to contest the challenge to safeguard young Australians from online harm. Reddit’s case follows an earlier High Court challenge lodged last month by two teenagers.

India Eases Visa Rules for Chinese Professionals to Boost Manufacturing
India has eased visa regulations for Chinese professionals in a move aimed at strengthening economic engagement with Beijing and reducing production delays caused by a shortage of skilled technicians, officials confirmed.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi signals a gradual thaw in bilateral relations—set against rising U.S. tariffs—New Delhi has eliminated an additional layer of administrative vetting and accelerated business visa processing to under four weeks, according to senior officials.
The shift, first reported by Reuters through its Tariff Watch newsletter, marks a significant reversal of measures imposed after the 2020 India–China border clash, which had subjected most Chinese visitors to heightened scrutiny across multiple ministries. That tighter regime has now been eased, one source familiar with the matter said.
“We have removed the layer of administrative vetting and are processing business visas within four weeks,” an official stated.
Requests for comment from India’s foreign, home, and commerce ministries—as well as the prime minister’s office and the government’s top policy think tank—went unanswered.
Analysts at the Observer Research Foundation estimate that the prolonged visa restrictions cost India’s electronics manufacturing sector around $15 billion in lost output over four years, due to heavy dependence on Chinese machinery for mobile phone assembly. Companies such as Xiaomi were among those affected, as reported by Reuters earlier.
The curbs had also slowed expansion plans in India’s electronics ecosystem and disrupted labour availability in the solar industry.
The relaxation follows Modi’s visit to China earlier this year—the first by an Indian prime minister in seven years—during which he met President Xi Jinping and explored avenues for deeper cooperation. Direct flights between the two countries have since resumed for the first time since 2020.
A high-level committee led by former Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, now part of India’s premier government think tank, recommended easing certain restrictions to support Chinese investment. Industry groups have welcomed the move. Pankaj Mohindroo, chairman of the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association, said the streamlined visa process for skilled professionals shows greater collaboration and responsiveness to industry needs.
Officials say the policy update aligns with India’s broader strategy to scale up production across finished goods, components, and sub-assemblies. Observers note that the coming months will reveal how the revised visa norms shape foreign investment and cross-border technological cooperation—particularly in sectors reliant on Chinese expertise and supply chains.
MLC Duvvada Srinivas Detained in Farmhouse Party Raid
Andhra Pradesh MLC Duvvada Srinivas and his companion Madhuri were detained late Thursday night after the Rajendranagar Special Operations Team (SOT) raided a birthday celebration at The Pendent farmhouse in Moinabad.
According to police sources, the party involved the consumption of alcohol without the required permissions. Acting on credible information that liquor was being served in violation of excise norms, the SOT team, along with Rajendranagar police, conducted a surprise inspection.
During the raid, officials reportedly seized a significant number of liquor bottles along with other suspected contraband items. The event was organised to celebrate Madhuri’s birthday. She has been in a live-in relationship with Srinivas since 2024, following his separation from his family.
Police stated that the farmhouse party, hosted by Srinivas and attended by several YSRCP leaders, was conducted without authorization and violated multiple excise regulations. The joint operation resulted in the immediate halt of the celebration, with all seized materials documented as evidence.
Both Srinivas and Madhuri were taken into custody for questioning. Officials said that a detailed investigation is underway to determine whether any further violations occurred during the event.
PaparazziBollywood Stars’ Double Standards in Paparazzi Debate
The paparazzi culture in Bollywood has once again become a hot topic of discussion. Recently, Hardik Pandya expressed anger after paps allegedly captured his girlfriend inappropriately, while Jaya Bachchan sparked controversy by criticising photographers, claiming they “wear dirty pants like drain pipes and think holding a mobile gives them the right to click celebrities.”
Amid this ongoing debate, actress Huma Qureshi offered a balanced take, stating that paparazzi are an essential part of the Bollywood ecosystem and that celebrities must maintain a healthy relationship with them. She pointed out that many stars voluntarily involve paps to promote their films or highlight certain aspects of their personal lives.
Huma explained that when celebrities want visibility, they invite photographers to premieres and events. “Whenever we want to be spotted, we call them. So, I don’t want to put all the blame on them,” she said. She added that throughout her 10–12-year career, she has shared a respectful rapport with the paparazzi. On days when she doesn’t look her best, she simply requests them not to click her, and they usually respect her wishes.
Actress Priyamani also echoed similar sentiments, revealing that many Bollywood celebrities deliberately call paps to airports, cafes, and promotional venues—and even pay them—to ensure they get photographed.
Following these revelations, netizens are calling out Bollywood stars for their double standards: using paparazzi for publicity when convenient, but criticising them whenever they feel irritated or exposed.
