Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan Project: Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Involvement in Doubt
Ever since Rajinikanth confirmed a collaboration with Kamal Haasan, speculation about who will direct the project has been intensifying. Initially, Lokesh Kanagaraj was widely considered the ideal choice for this high-profile venture.
However, recent rumors suggest that Lokesh may not be associated with the film after all. Currently, he is busy with his acting debut and is slated to direct the Kaithi sequel, followed by his next big multi-starrer, possibly not involving Aamir Khan.
The project, a joint production between Raj Kamal International and Red Giant Films, reportedly has one production house dissatisfied with Lokesh’s recent work on Coolie, prompting them to explore other directorial options.
Among the alternatives, Pradeep Ranganathan is being considered. He recently acted in LIK and Dude and has not committed to any other projects as an actor or director, making him a viable candidate.
As of now, no official announcement has been made, leaving fans of Lokesh anxiously awaiting clarity on the director for this ambitious collaboration.
Ravi Basrur Geared Up for Veerachandrasa and NTR’s Dragon
Ravi Basrur, the acclaimed music composer known for his work in South Indian cinema, is all set for the Telugu release of his directorial venture Veerachandrasa on September 19. Famous for his powerful scores in director Prashanth Neel’s films like Ugramm, KGF, and Salaar, Basrur recently opened up to about his musical journey and upcoming projects.
Basrur began his career in Kannada cinema, gaining widespread recognition for the impactful background music in the KGF series, which left a lasting impression on audiences. He later worked on Salaar, another Prashanth Neel film.
While some fans initially felt the music in Salaar was more subdued compared to KGF, Basrur clarified that it was a creative choice by the director, opting for subtle and slow-building scores rather than instantly striking tunes. The soundtrack, however, received appreciation once the film became available online.
The success of Salaar also brought Basrur international attention. “After Salaar released, I received multiple calls from production houses in the US,” he shared. He added that the music was conceived with global standards in mind, further cementing his reputation.
Currently, Basrur has started composing music for the highly anticipated NTR-Prashanth Neel film, tentatively titled Dragon. So far, he has completed several versions of the soundtrack, raising fans’ expectations for a powerful musical experience in this upcoming commercial action drama.

RGV Faces Legal Case Over Dahanam Identity Misuse
Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again found himself in legal trouble. Former IPS officer Anjana Sinha has filed a case against him, alleging that her professional identity was misused in his web series Dahanam.
In her complaint, Anjana Sinha stated that the series used her name and career profile without consent, exploiting them for commercial gain. A 1990-batch officer, she has served as SP and DIG in Rayalaseema and later as ADGP in the Telugu states. She currently heads the National Industrial Security Academy. The officer clarified that she never met or interacted with the makers, nor did she authorize the use of her details.
Released in 2022 on MX Player, Dahanam was a revenge drama revolving around the murder of a communist worker. Varma produced the seven-episode series, which, according to Anjana, contained violent and sexual content. She claimed that linking her professional identity with such material has caused serious damage to her reputation, dignity, and professional standing, along with mental distress.
Based on her complaint, Raidurgam police registered a case on September 10 against the producer and director under IPC Sections 509, 468, 469, 500, and 120(B). With multiple cases already pending against him in Andhra Pradesh, this fresh complaint adds to RGV’s growing list of legal battles.
All eyes are now on how the investigation will proceed and what consequences it may bring for the maverick filmmaker.

Nagarjuna’s #King100 Set for Grand Launch
Tollywood King Akkineni Nagarjuna is gearing up for a historic milestone in his career — his 100th film, currently being referred to as #King100. The much-awaited project, which went into script work earlier this year, is now set for a grand launch.
While fans eagerly anticipated an official announcement on Nagarjuna’s birthday (August 29), the star chose to hold back as his film Coolie — where he stunned audiences in a villainous role — was still running successfully in theaters. He was also busy with the launch of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9.
Now, Nagarjuna is all set to unveil #King100 later this month. The prestigious project will be produced under his home banner Annapurna Studios and directed by Tamil filmmaker Ra Karthik. Though Karthik’s debut Tamil film met with only average success, Nagarjuna was reportedly impressed by his unique storytelling style and the powerful script he narrated.
Adding to the excitement, it is strongly buzzed that Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni will appear in special cameo roles, making this milestone film even more memorable for Akkineni fans.
Firing at Disha Patani’s Bareilly Home
Bollywood actress Disha Patani’s family narrowly escaped a shocking attack when unidentified assailants opened fire at their residence in Civil Lines, Bareilly, during the early hours of the morning. Inside the house at the time were her father, retired DSP Jagdish Singh Patani, along with her mother and sister, who fortunately escaped without injuries.
The incident took a serious turn after notorious gangster Goldy Brar openly claimed responsibility on social media. He alleged that the firing was linked to comments made by Disha and her sister against certain religious figures, and even went on to issue further threats through his network.
Reacting swiftly, a joint team of the UP STF and Delhi Police tracked down two suspects in Ghaziabad. The chase ended in a fierce encounter when the accused opened fire on officers. Both were shot and injured, with one later succumbing to his wounds in hospital.
From the spot, police seized a large cache of weapons, including foreign-made pistols and live cartridges. Initial investigations suggest that the attack was backed by an international crime syndicate, with clear links emerging to Goldy Brar’s gang.
Authorities are now intensifying their probe to identify who exactly ordered the hit and whether more associates are still at large. The case has quickly escalated into a high-stakes investigation involving organized crime networks that extend beyond India’s borders.
OG team seeks ₹1000 premiere ticket hike
The team behind “OG” has officially applied for a ticket price hike in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, along with permissions to host special paid premiere shows across the two states. For these premieres, the makers have fixed a flat ticket price of ₹1000 in all theaters, covering both single screens and multiplexes.
In Andhra Pradesh, getting approvals is expected to be smooth, as Pawan Kalyan himself oversees the movie ticket pricing policy, and producer DVV Danayya has been a longtime associate of the star.
However, the situation is slightly different in Telangana. While CM Revanth Reddy is unlikely to oppose the ticket hike, permissions for additional shows and midnight screenings may face resistance, as the state government has generally been cautious about such requests.
Despite these hurdles, distributors in the Nizam region are highly confident. They believe the film’s paid premieres could set new opening day records, potentially surpassing even the numbers of Pushpa 2.
The official clearance for the special shows and revised ticket rates will be granted once the team submits the censor certificate to the respective state authorities.
Meanwhile, the overseas response has been overwhelming. In North America, “OG” has already raked in $1.7 million from advance ticket sales for premiere shows, reflecting the massive anticipation surrounding this Pawan Kalyan starrer.
క్రిష్ 4: హృతిక్-రష్మిక కలయిక హైప్
బాలీవుడ్ స్టార్ హృతిక్ రోషన్ కి ‘వార్ 2’ విఫలత ఒక మళ్లీ పాఠం చెప్పింది. భారీ అంచనాల మధ్య విడుదల అయిన ఈ చిత్రం, ముందస్తు ఆశలను పూర్తి చేయలేకపోయింది. హృతిక్ ఈ సినిమాతో టాలీవుడ్లో తన మార్కెట్ ను నిర్మించాలనుకున్నా, స్ట్రాటజీ ఫలించలేదు. ఎన్టీఆర్తో కలసి ప్రాజెక్ట్ ఆలోచన అయినా, ఫలితం నిరాశ కలిగించింది. అంతేకాక, ముందస్తు రిలీజ్ అయిన ‘ఫైటర్’ కూడా అంచనాలను తీరలేదు. దీంతో హృతిక్ దృష్టి తన తదుపరి ప్రాజెక్ట్ ‘క్రిష్ 4’ పై మేళవించేశారు.
‘క్రిష్’ ఫ్రాంచైజీలో విడుదలకానున్న నాల్గవ చిత్రం ఇది. ప్రీ-ప్రొడక్షన్ పనులు వేగంగా జరుగుతున్నాయి. పెద్ద కాన్వాస్తో చిత్రాన్ని రూపొందించడానికి నటి, బడ్జెట్ నుండి అన్ని అంశాలను సమర్థవంతంగా ప్లాన్ చేస్తున్నారు. హృతిక్ ప్రత్యేక ఫోకస్ తో ఈ సినిమా పై పని చేస్తున్నారు. ఈ క్రమంలో ఆయన స్వయంగా దర్శకుడిగా డైరెక్ట్ చేయనుండడం విశేషం. నటిగా అనుభవాన్ని, సినిమాకు సంబంధించిన మేకింగ్ పరిజ్ఞానాన్ని పూర్ణంగా వినియోగిస్తూ కెప్టెన్ బాధ్యతలు చేపడుతున్నారు.
చిత్రంలో హీరోయిన్స్ ఎవరు ఉంటారంటే, ప్రియాంక చోప్రా, కియారా అద్వానీ, అలాగే నేషనల్ క్రష్ రష్మిక మందన్నా పేర్లు సార్వత్రికంగా చర్చనీయాంశమయ్యాయి. ఇంకా ఫైనల్ నిర్ణయం తీసుకోబడలేదు. హృతిక్ రష్మికతో కూడా పాత్రను చర్చిస్తున్నారని బాలీవుడ్ మీడియా ప్రచారం. ఎన్టీఆర్తో పని జరగకపోవడంతో రష్మికను ప్రాజెక్ట్లోకి తీసుకురావడమా అని అభిమానుల్లో చర్చ కొనసాగుతోంది.
రష్మిక ‘యానిమల్’, ‘ఛావా’ వంటి విజయాలతో బాలీవుడ్లో మంచి గుర్తింపు పొందారు. పెద్ద స్టార్ హీరోలతో నటించడానికి సిద్దంగానే ఉన్నారు. ‘సికిందర్’ చిత్రంలో సల్మాన్ ఖాన్తో రొమాన్స్ చేసినప్పటికీ, విజయం ఆశించిన స్థాయిలో రాలేదు. అయినా, ఆమెకు అవకాశాలు వస్తూనే ఉన్నాయి. ‘క్రిష్ 4’ ప్రాజెక్ట్ ద్వారా కూడా ఆమె ప్రভাবం, కౌశల్యాన్ని ప్రదర్శించే అవకాశం ఉంది. మిగతా విశేషాలు సినిమా విడుదల తర్వాతే స్పష్టమవుతాయి.
