Jr NTR’s Possible Political Debut Sparks Andhra Buzz
The political landscape of Andhra Pradesh is once again buzzing with excitement as Jr NTR’s potential entry looms large. This time, the chatter isn’t limited to social media—hardcore fans are boldly claiming: “NTR is coming with his own party!”
Some fans have even declared that they are ready to step into the democratic arena themselves and contest elections if needed. Such audacious statements have sparked debates: would his supporters make such claims without NTR’s consent?
Adding fuel to the speculation, NTR’s sister, Nandamuri Suhasini, recently hinted, “Right now he’s busy with films. But when the time comes, he will definitely enter politics.” That single line has ignited widespread curiosity—is Jr NTR quietly preparing for a political plunge?
Looking back, in October 2023, NTR’s close friend Rajeev Kanakala revealed, “If Tarak enters politics, it won’t be sudden. He will plan it meticulously. He has the legacy, the campaign energy, and the ability to electrify lakhs of people. He definitely has interest. Maybe in five years, he’ll step in.”
With the next Andhra Pradesh elections scheduled for 2029, Rajeev’s prediction feels increasingly plausible. Recent controversies, including TDP MLA Daggubati Prasad’s harsh remarks targeting NTR and his mother, have weakened his position within TDP, further fueling speculation that this time, Tarak might be serious about making his political debut.
Nagarjuna’s 100th Film: Exciting Updates Revealed
King Nagarjuna recently impressed audiences with his performances in Kuber and Coolie. After scoring success two years ago with Na Samirang, Nagarjuna took a break from solo projects and opted for significant supporting roles in Kuber (as Deepak) and Coolie (as Simon). While these roles showcased his versatility, some fans wondered why Nagarjuna chose such characters at this stage of his career. It’s worth noting that he has acted in 99 films so far.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for the announcement of Nagarjuna’s 100th film. Recently, during a special interview, he revealed some details, hinting that his next project will be directed by Tamil filmmaker R. Karthik and described as a high-octane action entertainer. Given the way he spoke, fans speculated that the 100th film announcement might coincide with his birthday.
Nagarjuna’s birthday was on August 29, but apart from celebrity wishes, there was no update about the film. Fans were disappointed that Nagarjuna didn’t make the announcement, especially after giving a director leak during the interview. However, reports suggest that the announcement could come next month.
There’s also speculation that the announcement may align with ANR’s birth anniversary on September 20. Sources indicate that the film’s script has already been locked and that work has been ongoing for nearly a year and a half. Fans are excited, expecting the 100th film to surpass all expectations. It’s being planned as a very special project, with rumors of cameo appearances by his family members. Even though the announcement came later than expected, Nagarjuna is said to be planning a full feast for fans. The final casting and other details are still awaited.
US Appeals Court Blocks Most of Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs
Washington, Aug 30 (IANS): In a major blow to U.S. President Donald Trump, a federal appeals court has struck down most of his administration’s global reciprocal tariffs, ruling that the President lacked the authority to impose them. The court emphasized that Trump’s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) did not grant him “unlimited power” to levy tariffs.
“The statute grants the President significant authority in responding to national emergencies, but it does not explicitly allow tariffs, duties, or taxes,” the ruling stated. It also noted that the IEEPA contains no procedural safeguards limiting presidential powers in this regard.
The order, however, has been delayed until October 14, giving the administration time to appeal. Importantly, U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminium—implemented under a separate legal framework—will remain in effect.
Reacting to the ruling, Trump took to Truth Social, declaring: “ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!” and warned that enforcing the court’s order would “literally destroy the United States of America.” He also vowed to take the fight to the Supreme Court, writing, “Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation.”
Tariffs have been a central pillar of Trump’s trade policy since his return to power in January, often used as leverage in negotiations or as punishment against countries unwilling to make concessions. Earlier in May, the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York had similarly ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs.
Redditor Shares Struggles with Poland Visa Process
A recent Reddit post titled “Schengen Visa Denied From Poland, let me tell you about my horrible experience” has shed light on the growing challenges faced by applicants seeking Polish Schengen visas. The post highlights technical glitches, systemic bottlenecks, and the rising role of brokers allegedly exploiting the process.
The anonymous user, a student with a partner in Poland, shared their ordeal of struggling with the VFS Global portal. “At first, I tried to create an account on the VFS website, but it kept giving me errors. After a week of back-and-forth with their customer support, I finally managed to create one,” they wrote. However, securing an appointment proved even harder. According to the student, most slots were snapped up by bots and resold by agencies for as much as €200. They also hinted at rumors of VFS’s possible involvement, though unverified.
Ultimately, the student had to rely on a broker, delaying their plans further. “It took about two weeks for them to arrange an appointment, and by then, our travel schedule was already disrupted,” they explained.
Despite submitting complete paperwork, including financial records and an invitation letter from their partner, the application was rejected without clear explanation. “After a month of waiting and countless calls to VFS, I finally learned my visa had been denied. All the time, money, and effort went down the drain,” the post read.
The user warned others about Poland’s visa process, suggesting that applying through different Schengen countries might be a better option. “Honestly, the Polish system feels unnecessarily complicated. If you’re planning a Europe trip, you’ll likely have a smoother chance applying via another country,” they advised.
This post echoes the growing frustrations among many international travelers, who see Poland’s visa system as opaque, stressful, and potentially exploitative.
Seattle Move Debate: ₹1 Crore Indian Couple Weighs US Offer
A recent Reddit post has ignited debate after a 35-year-old Indian professional shared his dilemma about relocating to Seattle, USA, despite already enjoying a combined household income of over ₹1 crore per year in India.
The user explained that he earns around ₹60 lakh annually (including stock benefits), while his wife, 34, makes ₹40 lakh. The couple has cleared all major loans except for an ₹18 lakh property loan for his parents. Now, his company has offered him a transfer to Seattle on an L1 visa, with compensation of $190,000 in 2025 and $210,000 in 2026. While the offer appears financially attractive, the responses on Reddit revealed divided opinions.
Some users emphasized long-term opportunities rather than immediate earnings. One commenter noted: “After taxes, health insurance, and 401k, you’ll take home around $155k. That’s comfortable but not as lavish as a ₹1 crore lifestyle in India. However, if you want a green card, L1A is your best bet. In 4-5 years, your kids could become US citizens. Flexibility matters more than just money.”
Others were skeptical, arguing that the move may not be worth it. “$155k in Seattle is like earning ₹20–25 lakh in India. You’re already making ₹1 crore here. Don’t throw that away. The US isn’t what it used to be. If your wife wants a change, just take a holiday,” one blunt reply said.
Meanwhile, some pointed to lifestyle and cultural advantages. A Redditor who lived in Seattle for seven years highlighted perks such as no state income tax, lower effective taxes, abundant outdoor opportunities, and exposure to global work culture. “Opportunities like this don’t come often. You can always come back to India, but leaving is harder. Your wife could even start a business on an EAD. I loved my time there and recommend it for the experience,” they wrote.
Not all feedback was positive, though. Several warned about immigration hurdles, dependence on the employer under an L1 visa, and green card delays. “Don’t do it. The immigration climate is harsh. Your wife may face work restrictions, and with only one income, your lifestyle will take a hit,” another user cautioned.
The discussion reflects a common dilemma faced by many mid-career Indian professionals: whether to prioritize financial stability and comfort at home, or take a leap for international exposure, potential green card benefits, and the life experience of working abroad.
Kangana Ranaut Confirms Sequels to Queen and Tanu Weds Manu
Bollywood’s firebrand actress Kangana Ranaut has been surprisingly silent in recent times. After winning the parliamentary elections last year and becoming an MP, her appearances in films and industry-related discussions have reduced drastically. She has been staying away from mainstream cinema, except for the release of her long-delayed project Emergency. While many expected Kangana to create a buzz with her trademark fiery statements during the film’s release, she chose a low-key approach, and the movie arrived quietly despite the controversies it faced during production.
As an active MP now, Kangana seems to be distancing herself from commercial roles. However, she hasn’t given up on cinema entirely. Reports suggest she is planning to focus on strong women-oriented scripts. Reliable sources reveal that Kangana has already given her nod for sequels to two of her most popular films. Among them, the much-loved Queen will soon get a sequel. Preparations are underway, and the film is likely to go on floors by the end of this year. With the original being a massive hit, the announcement of Queen 2 is expected to create a huge buzz.
In a recent interaction with a Bollywood media outlet, Kangana confirmed her excitement about revisiting her iconic roles. She stated that Queen holds a very special place in her heart, and she is ready for its sequel. She also expressed her willingness to continue with the Tanu Weds Manu franchise, which she considers one of the most important films of her career. With Tanu Weds Manu 2 already released earlier, fans are now eager for the possibility of a third installment in the coming years.
According to industry reports, Queen 2 will be directed by Vikas Bahl, who also helmed the original. The filmmaker has reportedly completed the script and is currently finalizing locations as part of pre-production. Casting and technical crew selections will follow soon. Kangana has been asked to allot around 40 to 50 days for the shoot, with the team aiming to wrap up the project quickly given her limited availability as an MP. A similar strategy is likely to be applied for Tanu Weds Manu 3 as well.
With Kangana’s return to her iconic franchises, fans are eagerly waiting to see her blend her political career with selective but powerful roles in Bollywood.
Chiranjeevi & Venkatesh Team Up in Mana Shankara Varaprasad
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 157th film Mana Shankara Varaprasad, directed by Anil Ravipudi, is currently progressing at a brisk pace. The team has already wrapped up a major portion of the shoot, and ever since the launch, Anil has been working non-stop without any breaks. Except for the lead stars, the rest of the cast has been actively participating in the schedules. With Sankranti locked as the release target, Anil is planning everything meticulously to avoid any disruptions.
Victory Venkatesh will also be seen in a crucial role in this film. However, his entry and character details have been kept under wraps, raising speculation about whether it’s just a guest appearance. But the latest buzz suggests that Venkatesh will indeed have a strong role, with his combination scenes alongside Chiranjeevi expected to be one of the film’s highlights. Interestingly, both stars are also part of specially designed action sequences, which will reportedly include a fun element in true Anil Ravipudi style.
The next schedule of the film is set to begin in Hyderabad next month. Surprisingly, Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh have never acted together before, making their pairing a major attraction. Both are known for their impeccable comic timing, though with different styles — Venkatesh often tends to dominate in this space. Fans are curious to see how Anil Ravipudi balances this dynamic. Having already worked with Venkatesh in F2, F3, and Sankranthiki Vostunnam, Anil understands the actor’s comic timing well and successfully tapped into it. The real challenge now is to merge it seamlessly with Chiru’s style.
Following the blockbuster success of Sankranthiki Vostunnam, Venkatesh hasn’t signed any new project, which further adds to the curiosity around his role in this biggie.

టాలీవుడ్లో మీనాక్షి చౌదరి దూసుకువచ్చి మంచి గుర్తింపు తెచ్చుకుంది. తొలి చిత్రం ఇచట వాహనములు నిలుపరాదు డీసెంట్ హిట్ అవ్వడం ఆమెకు బలమైన ఆరంభం అయింది. గురూజీ త్రివిక్రమ్ ముందే ఈ విజయాన్ని జోస్యం చెప్పి ప్రోత్సహించడం మరింత బలాన్నిచ్చింది. ఆ తర్వాత హిట్ 2, గుంటూరు కారం వంటి సినిమాలతో వరుస అవకాశాలు దక్కించుకుంది.
అంతేకాకుండా, కోలీవుడ్లో కూడా అడుగుపెట్టి కోలైతో లాంచ్ అయింది. అక్కడి నుంచే దళపతి విజయ్ సరసన ది గ్రేటెస్ట్ ఆఫ్ ఆల్ టైమ్ అనే భారీ ప్రాజెక్ట్లో ఛాన్స్ సంపాదించుకోవడం ఆమె జోరును చూపించింది. కానీ గత ఏడాది ఆరు సినిమాల్లో ఆమె నటించినా, హిట్స్ మాత్రం రెండు మూడే కావడం కాస్త వెనక్కి లాగింది.
ఈ ఏడాది సంక్రాంతికి వచ్చిన వస్తున్నాం మంచి బ్లాక్బస్టర్ అయినప్పటికీ, ఆ విజయానంతరం కొత్త ప్రాజెక్టులు చేతిలో లేకపోవడం ఆశ్చర్యం కలిగిస్తోంది. ప్రస్తుతం ఆమె అనగనగా ఒక రోజు చిత్రంలో నటిస్తోంది కానీ ఆ సినిమా నుండి పెద్దగా అప్డేట్ ఏదీ లేదు.

Priyanka Chopra SSMB29 Africa Shoot
Actress Priyanka Chopra recently shared a series of photos from her trip to Africa, sparking excitement among fans. Many believe these clicks are connected to the ongoing shoot of SSMB29, the much-anticipated film directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role.
In her Instagram posts, Priyanka showcased breathtaking African landscapes and even posted a selfie posing as a wildlife photographer. Although her captions did not reveal anything specific, fans strongly feel these glimpses are from the Kenya schedule of SSMB29, where the team is said to be filming high-octane action sequences.
Adding more buzz, Namrata Shirodkar, Mahesh Babu’s wife, reacted to Priyanka’s post with a ‘love’ emoji, further fueling speculations. The film has already completed crucial shooting schedules in Tanzania and South Africa and is shaping up to be a global cinematic adventure.
Along with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran will be seen in a key role. The makers are planning to unveil the title and pre-look in November, while the film itself is being mounted on a massive scale for a 2027 release.
Dhanush–Vetri Maaran’s Vada Chennai 2 Still in Waiting
Vada Chennai is regarded as one of the most impactful and successful films in Tamil cinema, with Dhanush delivering one of his career-best performances under the direction of Vetri Maaran. Ever since its release, fans have been eagerly waiting for Vada Chennai 2, but the sequel continues to remain uncertain.
Recently, Vetri Maaran reignited discussions about the much-anticipated project, stating that he does plan to work on it soon. However, the reality seems complicated. The acclaimed director is currently busy with his next film, STR 49, featuring Simbu. Official updates about this project are expected within the next couple of weeks.
Only after completing STR 49 will Vetri Maaran move ahead with his film alongside Dhanush. While he has been assuring fans for over three years about Vada Chennai 2, the project is yet to take off. Dhanush, on the other hand, is occupied with multiple other ventures and has remained silent about the sequel’s progress.
With Vada Chennai having already achieved cult status, expectations for the sequel are sky-high. But with both Dhanush and Vetri Maaran not openly committing to a timeline, speculations are growing that the film might face further delays—or even remain shelved.
Fans now hope that Vetri Maaran’s latest assurance is genuine and that Vada Chennai 2 finally goes on floors sooner rather than later.
Mohan Babu’s Bold New Choices in Second Innings
Collection King Mohan Babu has been very selective about the projects he takes up in his second innings as a character artist. While he hasn’t completely stepped away from the limelight, he has made sure to appear on screen at least once every couple of years. Interestingly, he now seems more inclined toward collaborating with new-age filmmakers who bring fresh perspectives to cinema.
One of the biggest surprises in recent times was his casting as the main antagonist in Nani’s The Paradise. Sources suggest that Mohan Babu’s look and performance will be a complete revelation in the film. It is said that he was impressed with the script and was eager to work under director Srikanth Odela, known for his raw and rustic storytelling.
Adding to the buzz, Mohan Babu is also reportedly in discussions for a key role in the Telugu debut of Superstar Krishna’s grandson Jaya Krishna. The film, to be directed by Ajay Bhupathi of RX100 fame, has already caught attention due to this unexpected casting choice. While Jaya Krishna is still a newcomer waiting to prove himself, Mohan Babu’s involvement hints at something special about the story or the character designed for him.
Apart from these, Mohan Babu is said to be actively exploring scripts and even in talks for a major Tamil project. Especially after Kannappa, he seems determined to stay busy and take up impactful roles that suit his stature and experience. Whether this strategy will give him another memorable run in his 70s remains to be seen, but his choices clearly indicate that he is far from slowing down.
