NTR’s Dragon Back on Track After Creative Revisions
Rumors have been swirling around NTR’s much-anticipated film Dragon, with speculation suggesting that the project had been put on hold midway. However, the film’s team has remained tight-lipped about these reports, maintaining only that the movie will proceed as per the announced schedule.
According to reliable sources, the delay was caused by creative revisions, as certain portions of the shoot reportedly didn’t meet the expected quality standards. Consequently, all the sequences featuring veteran actor Nasser were scrapped and will be reshot to match the director’s vision. The team has also made significant script upgrades, ensuring that the narrative aligns better with audience expectations and the grand scale envisioned by director Prashanth Neel.
The latest update indicates that Dragon will resume shooting from the third week of November, with major portions planned across picturesque European locations. However, it’s still unclear whether NTR himself will participate in this specific schedule.
Insiders also reveal that NTR requested minor changes to his look and certain sequences in the second half, ensuring that his character presentation remains impactful and distinct.
These positive developments have reignited excitement among fans, who were growing anxious about the project’s progress. With the film now back on track, expectations are sky-high. If all goes as planned, Dragon could hit theaters sometime in 2026, marking yet another massive cinematic spectacle from the blockbuster combination of NTR and Prashanth Neel.
Srikakulam Temple Stampede Claims Nine Lives on Ekadashi
A tragic incident struck Andhra Pradesh early this morning, as nine devotees, including several women and children, lost their lives in a stampede at the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Kasibugga, Srikakulam district. The mishap occurred amid a heavy rush of devotees gathered to offer prayers on the auspicious occasion of Ekadashi.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as hundreds of devotees, most of them women carrying puja baskets, crowded the temple steps. The sudden surge led to chaos, with many falling and getting trampled in the commotion. Distressing visuals from the site showed bodies lying across the temple premises, while others were seen crying and seeking help. Emergency teams and local volunteers rushed to assist, carrying the injured to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Police and rescue personnel quickly reached the spot to bring the situation under control. Authorities are investigating the circumstances that led to the overcrowding and the apparent lack of crowd management.
Governor S. Abdul Nazeer confirmed the death toll and expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy. He directed the district administration to ensure the best possible medical care for the injured.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu also expressed his shock and grief, calling the incident “heartbreaking.” In his statement, he said, “The stampede at the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Kasibugga is deeply distressing. The loss of devotees’ lives in this unfortunate tragedy is extremely painful.”
Authorities have assured that relief measures are underway and that every effort is being made to support the victims’ families and the injured.

Pawan Kalyan Reviews Relief Measures After Montha Cyclone
It has been only a few days since the Montha cyclone battered Andhra Pradesh, causing severe damage to property and livelihoods. In response, the state’s top leadership — Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan — continues to closely monitor the relief and rehabilitation efforts across affected regions.
In this context, Pawan Kalyan convened a detailed review meeting with government officials today, emphasizing the need for 100% efficiency and transparency in post-disaster management. He instructed district authorities to ensure that every affected family receives proper assistance and justice without delay.
The Deputy CM specifically directed Kakinada district officials to prepare accurate estimates of crop and property damage and to ensure that government relief funds reach all eligible beneficiaries. He also stressed the importance of sanitation and clean drinking water in the coastal villages within the Pithapuram constituency, calling for immediate cleanliness drives to prevent health hazards.
Furthermore, Pawan Kalyan ordered officials to submit periodic progress reports on the situation in fishing villages along the coast, ensuring that relief efforts are sustained and effectively implemented.
Through his proactive approach and ground-level focus, Pawan Kalyan has reiterated the government’s commitment to standing by every citizen affected by the Montha cyclone.
Konda Surekha Sparks Fresh Row Over Indira Gandhi Tribute Event
Telangana Endowments Minister Konda Surekha has once again found herself at the centre of controversy, continuing a pattern of friction with local Congress leaders in Warangal district. Despite her earlier apology to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and assurances to stay clear of disputes, recent developments suggest little has changed.
The latest flashpoint came during a floral tribute ceremony marking the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on Friday at Kashibugga, Warangal. During the event, DCC President Errabelli Swarna and other local Congress leaders placed a garland on Indira Gandhi’s statue. Moments later, supporters of Konda Surekha reportedly removed that garland and replaced it with one brought by the minister herself.
A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, triggering sharp criticism from within the Congress ranks. Several party leaders expressed dismay, stating that Surekha’s actions once again highlight her disregard for party unity and a tendency to court unnecessary confrontation.
“Instead of leading collectively, she continues to provoke discord even over minor issues,” remarked a senior Congress leader from Warangal. Others have already lodged complaints with the party high command, urging it to step in and address the growing internal rifts.
Many within the district unit believe that the high command’s silence has only emboldened Surekha further. “She behaves as if normal rules don’t apply to her. Without corrective action, the Warangal Congress unit will continue to suffer,” another party functionary commented.
Surekha’s critics also note that, despite publicly claiming to have “no quarrels with anyone,” she repeatedly ends up in disputes with her own colleagues. The garland episode, they argue, has not only embarrassed DCC chief Swarna but also cast the party leadership in a poor light — deepening tensions at a time when unity is crucial for the Congress in Telangana.
రామ్ చరణ్–జాన్వీ కపూర్ ‘పెద్ది’కి భారీ పారితోషికం
అతిలోక సుందరి దివంగత శ్రీదేవి కుమార్తె జాన్వీ కపూర్ ప్రస్తుతం బాలీవుడ్తో పాటు దక్షిణాదిలోనూ బిజీగా మారింది. బాలీవుడ్లో ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చి ఎన్నో సంవత్సరాలు అయినప్పటికీ ఇంకా ఒక సూపర్ హిట్ కమర్షియల్ మూవీ అందుకోలేకపోయినా, జాన్వీకి డిమాండ్ మాత్రం ఏమాత్రం తగ్గలేదు. స్టార్ కిడ్గా ఉండటం, ఇండస్ట్రీలో బలమైన పరిచయాలు కలగడం వలన ఆమెకు వరుసగా ఆఫర్లు వస్తూనే ఉన్నాయి.
జాన్వీ ఎప్పుడూ అందరితో సన్నిహితంగా, గౌరవంగా మెలగడం వల్ల టాప్ ఫిల్మ్మేకర్లు కూడా ఆమెను ప్రోత్సహిస్తూ ఉంటారు. ముఖ్యంగా ఆమెను ఇండస్ట్రీకి పరిచయం చేసిన కరణ్ జోహార్, ఇప్పటికీ జాన్వీ కెరీర్కు బలమైన సపోర్ట్గా నిలుస్తున్నాడు. కరణ్ జోహార్ నిర్మాణ సంస్థ ధర్మ ప్రొడక్షన్స్ తనకు హోమ్ బ్యానర్ లాంటిదని జాన్వీ అనేకసార్లు పేర్కొంది. ధర్మ ప్రొడక్షన్స్లో సినిమా చేసే అవకాశం వచ్చినప్పుడు జాన్వీ ఎప్పుడూ “అవును” అనడంలో వెనుకాడదట.
ఇటీవల ధర్మ ప్రొడక్షన్స్లో తెరకెక్కిన ‘హోమ్ బౌండ్’ సినిమాలో జాన్వీ ప్రధాన పాత్రలో నటించింది. ఈ చిత్రం భారతదేశం తరపున ఆస్కార్ ఎంట్రీగా ఎంపిక కావడం విశేషం. ఇషాన్ ఖట్టర్, విశాల్ జైత్వాల్ హీరోలుగా నటించిన ఈ సినిమాకు జాన్వీ ప్రధాన ఆకర్షణగా నిలిచింది. ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్ కోసం జాన్వీ సహా మొత్తం టీం పారితోషికం విషయంలో రాజీ పడిందని బాలీవుడ్ వర్గాలు చెబుతున్నాయి.
అయితే ప్రస్తుతం జాన్వీ కపూర్ రామ్ చరణ్ సరసన నటిస్తున్న ‘పెద్ది’ చిత్రానికి మాత్రం భారీగా సుమారు ₹4 కోట్లు పారితోషికం అందుకుంటోందని సమాచారం. అంతేకాకుండా ‘దేవర’ సినిమాలో కూడా ఆమె భారీ రెమ్యూనరేషన్ అందుకుందని తెలుస్తోంది. సౌత్ ఇండియాలో జాన్వీకి ఉన్న క్రేజ్ కారణంగా నిర్మాతలు ఆమెకు పెద్ద మొత్తాలను ఆఫర్ చేస్తున్నారు.
అయితే బాలీవుడ్లో మాత్రం జాన్వీ ఇప్పటికీ ఆఫర్ల కోసం కాస్త కష్టపడాల్సి వస్తోంది. సినీ విశ్లేషకుల మాట ప్రకారం, ‘పెద్ది’
సినిమా హిట్ అయితే, టాలీవుడ్లోనే కాదు కోలీవుడ్లో కూడా జాన్వీ మరింత బిజీగా మారే అవకాశాలు ఉన్నాయి. ‘ఉప్పెన’ దర్శకుడు బుచ్చిబాబు సానా తెరకెక్కిస్తున్న ఈ భారీ బడ్జెట్ మూవీని 2026 సమ్మర్లో విడుదల చేయడానికి సన్నాహాలు జరుగుతున్నాయి.
