Manchu Manoj Banks on Mirai for Career Revival
After a brief hiatus, Manchu Manoj made his return to acting with Bhairavam. While the film failed to create an impact at the box office, Manoj’s layered performance drew critical appreciation. Now, the actor is pinning hopes on his upcoming release Mirai, where he steps into a full-fledged negative role. The film’s promotions are in full swing, with Manoj actively participating to ensure it reaches a wider audience.
For Manoj, Mirai carries significant weight. Despite being recognized as a strong performer, his career trajectory in Telugu cinema has been uneven. Though he has delivered a few blockbusters in the past, those successes did not translate into consistent opportunities or elevate his standing among top-tier contemporaries.
By embracing antagonistic roles, Manoj appears to be recalibrating his career strategy. Mirai gives him the platform to showcase his intensity and versatility, qualities that often shine through in well-written negative characters. If both his performance and the film’s box office run resonate with audiences, Manoj could carve out a strong niche as a commanding villain — a space in Tollywood that is increasingly drawing Bollywood actors.
In many ways, Mirai represents more than just another film for Manoj; it is an opportunity to redefine his image, expand his market, and re-establish himself as a dynamic force in Telugu cinema.
Ram Pothineni Rocks with Puppy Shame Song
Ram Pothineni is going all out for his upcoming film Andhra King Taluka, and the buzz around it keeps getting stronger. Directed by Mahesh Babu P under the prestigious Mythri Movie Makers banner, the film has already created excitement with Ram’s striking new look and his portrayal of a die-hard movie buff.
After surprising audiences by penning lyrics for the first single Nuvvunte Chaley, Ram has now showcased another dimension of his artistry—his powerful vocals—in the latest track Puppy Shame.
Composed by the dynamic duo Vivek & Mervin, the song carries a high-voltage energy, blending edgy rhythms with Ram’s fiery rendition. His voice becomes the driving force of the track, giving it a raw and infectious vibe. Lyricist Bhaskarabhatla adds further spark with witty, sharp lines that perfectly capture fan culture—celebrating victories, teasing rivals, and highlighting the passion that defines Telugu cinema fandom.
The song’s concept is equally compelling, depicting Ram and his gang of fans reveling in triumph, mirroring the emotions of real-life FDFS celebrations. With its pulsating beats, bold attitude, and unabashed fan spirit, Puppy Shame goes beyond being just a film song—it emerges as a rallying anthem for fans.
Ram Pothineni’s artistic versatility, combined with the film’s engaging music and vibrant presentation, ensures that Andhra King Taluka remains one of the most eagerly awaited releases in Telugu cinema.
Mega & Allu Families Unite at Allu Kanakaratnamma’s Rituals
Allu Kanakaratnamma, wife of the late legendary comedian and Padma Shri awardee Allu Ramalingaiah, passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 94. Following her demise, several prominent film personalities visited Allu Aravind’s residence to offer their condolences and stand by the family during this time of grief. The family is currently observing Dasa Dina Karma, a traditional ritual marking the tenth day after the loss.
A few pictures from the ceremony have surfaced on social media, one of which has drawn special attention. The rare frame features Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Global Star Ram Charan, and Icon Star Allu Arjun together—an uncommon sight that has warmed the hearts of fans. While audiences have often seen Charan with Arjun or Arjun with Pawan separately, the three sharing the same frame is indeed significant.
Pawan Kalyan has always expressed deep admiration for Ram Charan, and despite speculation in certain circles, Allu Arjun too holds immense respect for his uncle Pawan Kalyan. The image not only highlights their bond but also serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring unity between the Mega and Allu families.
Krrish 4: Shoot Set for Mid-2026, YRF to Co-Produce
Veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is currently immersed in the pre-production of his highly anticipated superhero film, Krrish 4. The director recently confirmed that the film’s principal photography is scheduled to commence in the middle of next year. In an exciting development, Yash Raj Films (YRF) will join forces with Rakesh Roshan’s Filmkraft to co-produce the project, marking their first collaboration with the iconic filmmaker.
YRF previously partnered with Hrithik Roshan on War 2, a high-profile venture that unfortunately underperformed at the box office. Despite the setback, the production house is willing to take another calculated risk, recognizing the enduring popularity of the Krrish franchise and its potential to draw audiences.
While War 2’s performance may influence perceptions of Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming films, the Krrish series’ established fan base is expected to generate significant interest. Given the scale and ambition of the project, the investment is considered a financial risk; however, the collaboration between Filmkraft and YRF signals confidence in the franchise’s long-term appeal.
Rakesh Roshan’s team is investing substantial effort in pre-production to ensure a smooth shooting schedule and avoid delays. Krrish 4 is slated for a theatrical release in 2027, promising to continue the legacy of one of Bollywood’s most beloved superhero sagas.

Raja Reddy Sparks Speculation on Andhra Politics Entry
The political landscape of Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a potential new development within the YS family. While YS Jagan Mohan Reddy continues to lead the YSR Congress Party and his sister Sharmila heads the Congress party, the family remains divided on political lines, with their mother Vijayamma staying largely inactive.
Amid this backdrop, Jagan’s nephew and Sharmila’s son, Raja Reddy, has made notable public appearances that have fueled speculation about his possible entry into politics. Recently, Raja Reddy visited the Kurnool onion market alongside his mother, Sharmila, and prior to this, sought the blessings of his grandmother Vijayamma—a gesture interpreted by political observers as a sign of his commitment to public life.
Further intensifying speculation, a video of Raja Reddy addressing the Christian community—drawing parallels to his father and prominent evangelist Anil—went viral on social media. Analysts note that Raja Reddy carries the masculine legacy of the YS family, with the potential to attract a significant base of YSR supporters. His educational background and commanding personality further enhance his public appeal.
The timing of Raja Reddy’s public activities is notable, given ongoing allegations by Sharmila that Jagan has illegally taken control of ancestral properties belonging to her children, including Raja Reddy. Political experts suggest that while Jagan has so far been considered the primary male heir to the YS legacy, Raja Reddy’s involvement could shift the family’s political dynamics.
While there is no official confirmation regarding Raja Reddy’s formal entry into politics, his recent public engagements indicate a growing interest in participating in Andhra Pradesh’s political arena. Observers are keenly watching whether the young YS scion will soon take an active role in shaping the state’s political future.
