Lokesh Reprimands Marshals for Overstepping in Andhra Assembly

Share


The monsoon Assembly sessions have commenced in Andhra Pradesh, and the first day witnessed extensive discussions on several public policies. However, an unusual incident outside IT Minister Lokesh’s chamber drew attention.

During a media briefing by MLA Dhulipala Narendra about the day’s proceedings, a group of marshals arrived and attempted to disperse the crowd. In the process, they reportedly laid hands on MLA Narendra, prompting a heated exchange.

Observing the commotion, Lokesh stepped out and reprimanded the marshals for their overreach. “Do you think we are still under the tyranny of the YCP government? There is no need to restrict access for MLAs and public representatives. Your job is only to ensure that no one without a pass enters the premises. Don’t overstep by trying to control or pacify MLAs,” Lokesh stated firmly.

During the previous YCP government, marshals were often used to physically restrict movement within the Assembly. In contrast, the current NDA government has adopted a more liberal approach, and Lokesh’s intervention highlighted this shift in Assembly practices, ensuring a more open environment for lawmakers.

Meena Remembers Late Friend Soundarya in Emotional Tribute

Share


Actress Meena recently opened up about her late friend Soundarya, sharing a personal memory she had kept private for years. During an interview with actor Jagapathi Babu on the show Jayammu Nischayammu Raa, Meena revealed that she had been invited to travel with Soundarya to Andhra Pradesh in 2004.

Soundarya and her brother Amarnath were scheduled to attend a BJP election campaign when their plane tragically crashed near Bengaluru, claiming both their lives. Reflecting on the incident, Meena said, “The news of Soundarya’s death was a big shock. I have not fully recovered from it even after all these years.”

Meena shared that she had declined the invitation due to her disinterest in politics, stating, “I was supposed to go with Soundarya, but I said I had a shoot. I was very sad when I heard what happened.”

Speaking about their friendship, Meena described Soundarya as “a wonderful person and very talented,” adding that their professional rivalry was always healthy. The two actresses had worked together in several films, and Soundarya’s sudden passing left a significant void in Telugu cinema. Reports indicate that she was pregnant at the time of the accident.

Meena’s heartfelt recollection reminds fans of the strong bond she shared with Soundarya and the tragic impact of her untimely death on the film industry.

Vijay Deverakonda to Team Up with Geetha Arts Again

Share


Actor Vijay Deverakonda gained recognition with hits like Pelli Choopulu and Arjun Reddy, but it was Geetha Govindam that gave him a major commercial breakthrough and won him the hearts of family audiences. Produced by Geetha Arts and directed by Parasuram, the film continues to be a favorite among fans. The production house is reportedly in talks to collaborate with Vijay again.

At the success event of Little Hearts, producer Bunny Vas confirmed the plans, stating that he and Allu Aravind are determined to deliver another blockbuster with Vijay. “We want to make a film that surpasses Geetha Govindam,” Bunny said. “Allu Aravind garu and I are discussing every day to set up something that will generate a huge success. Very soon, we will start working together.”

Vijay, who is currently working on Rowdy Janardhana under Dil Raju’s banner, is in need of a big hit, especially after the box office underperformance of Kingdom. While his recent films have explored different genres than Geetha Govindam, the actor now faces the challenge of delivering content that resonates with today’s audiences.

Industry observers note that audience preferences have evolved since the release of Geetha Govindam, with viewers now showing less interest in routine commercial fare. To replicate or surpass his earlier success, Vijay will need to focus on strong content and engaging storytelling, which could potentially bring him an even bigger hit than Geetha Govindam.

His legacy goes beyond commercial success, reflecting a unique blend of mainstream appeal and experimental storytelling.

Through his banner Sukumar Writings, he has balanced big-star projects with innovative content, establishing a production house synonymous with both scale and creativity. Over the past decade, Sukumar Writings has been behind several notable films, including Kumari 21F, Uppena, Virupaksha, 18 Pages, Pushpa 2, and Gandhi Thatha Chettu, in collaboration with leading production houses.

Among these, Pushpa 2: The Rule stood out as a cultural and commercial phenomenon, shattering records domestically and internationally, and showcasing the high production values that have become a hallmark of Sukumar Writings.

Deepika Padukone Exits Kalki 2, Sparks Online Debate

Share


The sudden announcement by Vyjayanthi Movies that Deepika Padukone will no longer be part of Kalki 2 has taken fans by surprise and triggered a wave of discussion online.

Social media platforms have since been flooded with memes, old clips, and critical posts, with some questioning the actress’s professionalism and demands. Earlier, when Sandeep Reddy Vanga parted ways with Deepika citing “unjust demands,” she still enjoyed support from sections of Bollywood fans and media. However, this time, even many of her loyal admirers appear to be struggling to defend her, leaving her largely isolated in the ongoing debate surrounding the sequel.

Deepika’s role as Sumati was considered pivotal to the film, making her departure all the more unexpected. Industry sources speculate that disagreements over remuneration, the need for a large team of assistants, and constraints on working hours may have contributed to the fallout.

With director Nag Ashwin now facing the task of recasting such a crucial character, the immediate impact is clear: Deepika Padukone has become the focus of intense online criticism and trolling, highlighting the pressures and scrutiny faced by leading actors in high-profile projects.

Pooja Hegde Shares “Boat Ride” Airport Moment, Preps for Jana Nayagan

Share


Actress Pooja Hegde recently shared a quirky travel moment with her fans, calling it a “boat ride” to the airport. Taking to Instagram Stories, she posted a video showing waterlogged roads in Chennai, where she was seen sitting in the backseat of a car navigating through the rain-filled streets. Captioning the clip, Pooja wrote, “A quick boat ride to the airport… I have some interesting airport stories lately,” along with a Chennai geotag.

On the work front, Pooja was recently seen in the song “Monica” from the Tamil-language action thriller Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film features an ensemble cast including Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat. Notably, Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj share the screen again after 38 years, having last acted together in the 1986 blockbuster Mr. Bharath, where Sathyaraj played Rajinikanth’s father. Coolie, Rajinikanth’s 171st film, revolves around a gold smuggling plot and is a standalone story, according to the director.

Looking ahead, Pooja will be seen in Jana Nayagan, a political action thriller directed by H. Vinoth. The film stars Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, along with Mamitha Baiju, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, and Priyamani. The project is intended to be Vijay’s final film before entering politics and marks KVN’s first Tamil-language production. Originally announced in September 2024 under the tentative title Thalapathy 69, the film’s official title was revealed in January 2025.

Bandla Ganesh Praises Little Hearts, Calls for Content-Driven Telugu Cinema

Share


Producer Bandla Ganesh is known for his lively speeches at film events, often serving as entertainment in themselves. While Pawan Kalyan’s fans eagerly await his energetic address at the OG pre-release event, Bandla surprised many by attending the success meet of Little Hearts, where he shared candid insights on the workings of the film industry.

Though some of his statements were exaggerated to keep the crowd energized, a few points struck a chord. Bandla highlighted the industry’s obsession with making 500 Cr and 1000 Cr films, stressing that producers and filmmakers should also appreciate the challenge of creating a hit with a minimal budget—like the 2.5 Cr spent on Little Hearts, which went on to earn a remarkable 35 Cr.

He also acknowledged a key reality: audiences are willing to visit theatres if offered engaging and entertaining content. Recent successes like Little Hearts, Lokah, Kishkindhapuri, and Mirai show that viewers still flock to theatres, despite complaints about declining footfalls and the rising influence of OTT platforms. This proves that content-driven films, not just big-star projects, can revive the theatrical business.

Bandla emphasized that the industry needs films like Little Hearts—small-budget, high-quality entertainers that draw audiences consistently—rather than chasing blockbuster targets of 500 Cr or 1000 Cr. Such films not only generate revenue but also help cultivate a culture of theatre-going, ensuring the longevity of cinema in Telugu states.

Ultimately, Bandla Ganesh’s observations reflect the sentiments of many in the industry: Telugu cinema thrives on good content, and films like Little Hearts remind everyone that engaging storytelling remains the key to success.

Vijay Deverakonda Celebrates Outsider Success with Little Hearts

Share


Vijay Deverakonda, once an outsider who carved his way into the star league of Telugu cinema, has always been vocal about the struggles of self-made actors. Before Yevade Subrahmanyam gave him recognition, Vijay had only done blink-and-miss roles and cameos in films like Avunu and Life Is Beautiful. Today, he stands as an inspiration for countless dreamers who aspire to make it big without a background in the industry.

At the success meet of Little Hearts last night, Vijay spoke about the importance of celebrating the achievements of outsiders. Praising the film’s team, he revealed that even before watching the movie, he invited lead actor Mouli and other members home, spent over three hours with them, and even gifted them Rowdy Wear merchandise. Later, after watching the film, he made it a point to attend their success event despite his busy schedule.

“After becoming an actor, I realized why it is important to celebrate the success of outsiders. Today, this group of boys and girls, without any background or support, made a film and found success. It feels wonderful, and such achievements must be appreciated,” said Vijay, adding that such stories inspire many more to try their luck in cinema.

Nani, Shoryuv Reunite for New Period Drama

Share


Natural Star Nani continues to expand his horizons after the success of Hi Nanna, a film that earned him immense love from family audiences and showcased a new dimension in his acting. The movie also marked the directorial debut of Shoryuv, and now, the actor-director duo is set to collaborate once again—this time for a period drama that will go on floors next year.

Currently, Nani is busy with The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela, who previously helmed Dasara. Alongside, he has also signed a film with Sujeeth, which is expected to begin once the director completes his commitments with OG. Amid these, the project with Shoryuv has been in talks for a while and now looks closer to reality.

Interestingly, Nani has already explored the period-drama space with Shyam Singha Roy and is once again delving into it with The Paradise. Despite this, the actor finds Shoryuv’s concept compelling enough to take up another film set in a different era. If all goes as planned, this new collaboration is likely to kick-start around Sankranthi 2026, with an official announcement expected soon.
