Ilaiyaraaja Wins Court Order to Remove Songs from Dude

Share


Maestro Ilaiyaraaja continues to enforce strict action against the unauthorised use of his musical works, reaffirming his zero-tolerance stance on copyright violations. After securing a favourable verdict earlier this year against the makers of Good Bad Ugly, the legendary composer has now won another significant legal battle—this time against the team behind the recent Diwali release Dude, starring Pradeep Ranganathan.

In his petition before the Madras High Court, Ilaiyaraaja stated that two of his classic songs—“Karutha Machan” from Pudhu Nell, Pudhu Naathu and “Nooru Varusham Indha Maappillaum” from Panakkaran—were incorporated into Dude without his permission. The Court found prima facie evidence that the songs were modified and used without authorisation, thereby compromising the integrity of the original compositions and causing reputational harm to the composer.

Consequently, the Court issued an interim injunction prohibiting the use of Ilaiyaraaja’s songs in the film with immediate effect. A request from the production house, Mythri Movie Makers, seeking one week’s time to comply with the order was denied, underscoring the seriousness of the violation.

Karthi’s upcoming Tamil film Vaa Vaathiyaar, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Nalan Kumarasamy, is gearing up for a theatrical release in December 2025. Produced by KE Gnanavelraja under the Studio Green banner, the film will also see a simultaneous Telugu release titled Annagaru Vostaru.

The teaser, unveiled by director Anil Ravipudi, sets an energetic tone filled with action, humour, and Karthi in prime form. Portraying a police officer who balances seriousness on duty with a playful edge, Karthi anchors the one-and-a-half-minute promo with charisma. Backed by Santhosh Narayanan’s dynamic score, the teaser positions the film as a quirky and engaging entertainer.

The cast features Krithi Shetty as the female lead along with Shilpa Manjunath, Rajkiran, Anand Raj, Sathyaraj, and others including Karunakaran, GM Sundar, Ramesh Thilak, PL Thenappan, Vidhya Borgia, Nivas Adthitan, and Madhur Mittal in key roles.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Earthy New Look Fuels Buzz for Peddi

Share


Janhvi Kapoor has been dominating social media recently, driven by the unexpected popularity of Chikiri Chikiri, the upbeat track from her upcoming rural sports drama Peddi. The song’s rapid rise has added fresh momentum to the film’s promotions, and Janhvi appears to be embracing the attention with composed confidence. To keep the buzz alive, she has now shared a new series of photos that have quickly gained traction across platforms. Many observers feel she’s entering a more assured, grounded phase in her career.

The latest images feature Janhvi in a rich, earthy-toned ensemble that exudes an old-world elegance. The dim, warm-toned setting—accented with subtle greenery—creates an intimate, almost cinematic frame around her. Standing poised with her hands gently clasped and her hair neatly pulled back, she radiates quiet strength. Her jewellery adds just the right amount of shimmer, enhancing the mood without overpowering it. The photos feel less like a promotional shoot and more like a visual atmosphere, which is precisely what makes them stand out.

With Peddi slated for a March 2026 release, the promotional journey is only beginning. But with the makers steadily unveiling songs and glimpses, anticipation is already on the rise. Given that Janhvi is stepping into a rustic, performance-driven role, fans believe this film may reveal a compelling new dimension to her craft.

Malavika Mohanan Excited About Raja Saab Role with Prabhas

Share


Recently, Malayalam actress Keerthy Suresh stirred a debate by claiming that Tamil superstar Vijay is a better dancer than Megastar Chiranjeevi, a statement that didn’t sit well with Telugu fans. On the other hand, Malavika Mohanan won hearts with her positive remarks about Telugu cinema and working with the stars.

Malavika, who is pairing with Superstar Prabhas in the upcoming horror-action film Raja Saab, spoke about her role in the movie. “Usually, in big hero films, the heroine gets 4–5 scenes and maybe a song or two. Honestly, I expected the same, but my role turned out to be very special. I feel lucky to get this part in my Telugu debut,” she said.

She also expressed her excitement about sharing the screen with Prabhas. “It’s such an honor to act with one of India’s biggest stars. It really is a special feeling,” she added.

Fans are thrilled to hear that her character is significant and not just a cameo. The film promises a unique mix of romance, horror, and supernatural elements. The first single, Vennela Vennela, has already impressed audiences, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next songs and more moments from this superstar pair.

Megastar Chiranjeevi Back with Mega Deal for Sankranti Film

Share


Megastar Chiranjeevi is fully back in action. After nearly a decade-long break, he returned, delivered a couple of films, and now seems busier than many younger heroes. His next outing, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is already creating buzz even before the trailer drops. The first single, Meesala Pilla, took off faster than expected, leaving fans excited to hear the rest of the soundtrack. With most of the shooting wrapped, the team is quietly fine-tuning everything for a Sankranti release. Anil Ravipudi is directing, and his confidence in the project is evident.

The talk of the town is Chiru’s rumored Rs 72 crore remuneration. Unlike his usual profit-sharing deals, he is reportedly taking a fixed fee this time. On top of that, his daughter Sushmitha Konidela is said to be receiving half of the film’s profits. Some moviegoers were taken aback, noting that this sum is higher than the entire budget of a mid-range film. However, Shine Screens, led by Sahu Garapati, is unfazed. Ravipudi’s last Sankranti release crossed Rs 300 crore, and the team believes a Megastar film can easily surpass that.

Adding further weight to the project, Nayanthara plays the female lead. Bheems’ music is already making waves—the first single caught on instantly, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next release. The vibe suggests the team is riding the momentum smartly, without overhyping.

Share


Raju Weds Rambai, starring Akhil, Tejaswi, and Chaitu Jonnalagadda in key roles, released on November 21 and has opened to a strong response from both audiences and critics. The film, praised as a heart-touching and emotionally rich love story, is enjoying steady momentum at the box office.

Centered around the sensitive and impactful theme of honor killings, the film draws from a real-life incident and delivers deep-rooted emotions that have resonated strongly with viewers. Its powerful storytelling and emotional depth have played a major role in its positive word-of-mouth.

After a successful first week, Raju Weds Rambai has entered its second week with solid occupancy across multiple regions. In particular, the film is showing remarkable dominance in the Nizam region, despite facing competition from new releases.

This film once again proves that strong content can drive box-office success, even for small-scale productions. Another promising week appears to be on the cards.

An ETV Win Original, the project marks the production debut of Venu Udugula, acclaimed for films like Needi Naadi Oke Katha and Virata Parvam. Directed by Saailu Kaampati, the film is based on a true incident from a village on the Telangana border.

Producers Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati have delivered yet another successful project following their recent hit Little Hearts.

Akhanda 2 Release Teaser Raises Expectations

Share


After unveiling the teasers, trailer, and songs, the makers of Akhanda 2 have now released the release teaser during the film’s grand pre-release event, amplifying the excitement even further.

The teaser opens with a commanding voiceover that declares, “To disrupt India’s harmony, one must attack its very roots—its deep-rooted devotional faith.” What follows is a powerful glimpse of Akhanda, who once again rises to uphold Dharma and vanquish the forces of evil.

Director Boyapati Sreenu seems to have intensified the ferocity of Balakrishna’s larger-than-life Akhanda persona, presenting him in an even more divine and destructive form. The final frame is especially striking, symbolizing Akhanda’s spiritual might with the image of Lord Hanuman emerging majestically in the clouds.

The teaser also introduces Harshali Malhotra as Balakrishna’s daughter, adding an emotional dimension to the story. With the grand production values of 14 Reels Plus on full display, the release teaser has taken the film’s anticipation to an all-new level.

Tovino Thomas Hints at Joining NTR–Neel Film

Share


Director Prashanth Neel, who revolutionized commercial cinema in recent years with massive hits like KGF and Salaar, is now teaming up with Man of the Masses NTR for one of the most awaited pan-Indian films. Though the film’s official title is yet to be revealed, fans and media have already crowned it #NTRNeel, reflecting the enormous hype surrounding the project.

As the much-anticipated film gears up to resume shooting after a lengthy break, strong reports suggest that Neel is planning to bring several high-profile actors on board for crucial roles. Adding fuel to the buzz, Malayalam star Tovino Thomas has now sparked speculation with a curious response.

During a brief exclusive interaction with manatelugu at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, when asked about his involvement in the NTR–Neel project, the Identity actor replied,
“Right now, I am not in a position to comment about it.”
This diplomatic answer—neither confirmation nor denial—has intensified rumours that Tovino may indeed be part of the action-packed saga.

Meanwhile, additional reports suggest that Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor has also been approached for a significant role. However, the makers have not yet officially confirmed any of the supporting cast.

On the female lead front, Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth is strongly believed to be finalized opposite NTR, though an official announcement is still awaited.

With such exciting names being speculated, expectations on the NTR–Neel combination continue to soar, and fans are eagerly looking forward to the next major update from the team.

Thanksgiving Day Store Closures and Limited Hours Across the U.S.

Share


Thanksgiving Day in the United States continues to reflect a growing trend among major retailers, with many choosing to close their doors to allow employees to spend the holiday with their families. Leading chains such as Walmart, Target, Costco and Sam’s Club will remain fully closed on Thanksgiving, reopening early the following morning for Black Friday sales. Department stores and other big-box retailers nationwide are following the same pattern.

However, several grocery chains will operate with reduced schedules to accommodate last-minute shoppers. Stores like Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market and Food Lion are expected to remain open for limited hours, typically closing by early afternoon. Select convenience stores and pharmacies may also open, though operating hours will vary significantly by location. Shoppers are encouraged to check with their nearest store for precise timings.

Samantha Leads UN Women Campaign Against Online Harassment

Share


Samantha has joined UN Women India for a special 16-day campaign focused on ending online harassment. Speaking about the initiative, she highlighted the seriousness of digital abuse faced by women today.

“Women encounter many forms of online harassment—threatening comments, deepfake photos, abusive DMs,” she said. “I’ve seen how deeply it impacts trust, safety, and mental health. It can make people afraid to even express themselves.”

Samantha also acknowledged her own experiences. “I’ve faced this myself, so awareness is crucial. We need stronger systems and stricter laws to protect women online. Being part of this campaign is an honor.”

On the professional front, Samantha is currently balancing multiple responsibilities. Along with managing her new clothing brand, she is also actively involved in her production house, Tralala Entertainment. She is presently shooting for Maa Inti Bangaram at Ramoji Film City, directed by Nandini Reddy. The film marks the second production venture under her banner.

Kavitha’s Emotional Reaction to Her Expulsion from BRS

Share


One of the major developments in Telangana politics recently has been the expulsion of Kalvakuntla Kavitha from the BRS, the very party founded by her father, K. Chandrashekar Rao. No longer a part of her family’s political fold, Kavitha now stands at a crossroads, preparing to chart her own independent political course.

Addressing the media today, Kavitha became emotional as she spoke about the circumstances that led to her removal from the party.

“A few people strategically moved to expel me from the BRS. They had their own vested interests in pushing me out and distancing me from my parents. They conspired and separated me from the people I love the most. While I was in jail, I thought more about my mother than even my own children. That is the depth of my love for them. But today, I am having to work without the support of my own family,” she said.

Her words reflect how deeply the separation from her parents continues to affect her. Earlier, Kavitha had openly accused Harish Rao and former MP Santosh of giving negative feedback to the party leadership, leading to her exit from the BRS—her father KCR’s political home.

As she rebuilds her political identity outside the BRS, it is clear that Kavitha is still processing the emotional impact of being distanced from her own family.
