టాలీవుడ్‌ అల్లు కుటుంబంలో తీవ్ర విషాదం నెలకొంది. అల్లు రామలింగయ్య గారి సతీమణి, అల్లు అరవింద్ తల్లి, ఐకాన్‌ స్టార్‌ అల్లు అర్జున్ నానమ్మ అయిన అల్లు కనకరత్నమ్మ (94) శనివారం తెల్లవారుజామున వృద్ధాప్య సమస్యల కారణంగా కన్నుమూశారు. ఆమె మృతితో అల్లు కుటుంబం, మెగా కుటుంబం అంతా శోకసంద్రంలో మునిగిపోయింది.

కనకరత్నమ్మ మరణవార్త తెలిసిన వెంటనే మెగాస్టార్ చిరంజీవి కుటుంబం, ఇతర కుటుంబ సభ్యులు అల్లు అరవింద్ నివాసానికి చేరుకుని పరామర్శించారు. అల్లు అర్జున్ ముంబైలో షూటింగ్‌లో ఉండగా, ఆ వార్త తెలిసి వెంటనే హైదరాబాద్‌కి చేరుకున్నారు. నానమ్మను చూసి భావోద్వేగానికి లోనయ్యారు. ఈ సమయంలో తీవ్ర దుఃఖంలో ఉన్న బన్నీని చిరంజీవి ఓదార్చడం హృదయానికి హత్తుకునేలా మారింది.

దర్శకులు త్రివిక్రమ్ శ్రీనివాస్, బీవీఎస్ రవి తదితర సినీ ప్రముఖులు కూడా అరవింద్ కుటుంబాన్ని పరామర్శించి, కనకరత్నమ్మ పార్థివదేహానికి నివాళులు అర్పించారు. చిరంజీవి, బన్నీ పక్కపక్కనే కూర్చుని మాట్లాడుతున్న ఫోటోలు ప్రస్తుతం సోషల్ మీడియాలో వైరల్‌గా మారాయి.

కనకరత్నమ్మ, అల్లు రామలింగయ్య గారికి నలుగురు సంతానం. వారిలో కుమారుడు అల్లు అరవింద్ టాలీవుడ్‌లో అగ్ర నిర్మాత, డిస్ట్రిబ్యూటర్‌గా ఎదిగి అనేక బ్లాక్‌బస్టర్ చిత్రాలను అందించారు. కుమార్తెల్లో ఒకరైన సురేఖ మెగాస్టార్ చిరంజీవి జీవిత భాగస్వామిగా మారారు. మిగిలిన ఇద్దరు కుమార్తెలు వసంతలక్ష్మి, నవభారతి సినీ రంగం, సోషల్ మీడియాలోనూ దూరంగా ఉంటూ వ్యక్తిగత జీవితాన్ని గడుపుతున్నారు.

ఇప్పుడు కనకరత్నమ్మ మరణం వారందరినీ తీవ్ర విషాదంలో ముంచేసింది. తల్లితో గడిపిన క్షణాలను గుర్తుచేసుకుంటూ కుటుంబ సభ్యులు కన్నీటి పర్యంతమవుతున్నారు.

సరిగ్గా పది సంవత్సరాల క్రితం సాయి ధరమ్ తేజ్ హీరోగా నటించిన ‘రేయ్’ సినిమాతో తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు పరిచయం అయిన నటి సయామీ ఖేర్. ఆ సినిమా ద్వారా సాయి ధరమ్ తేజ్ కొంత గుర్తింపు తెచ్చుకున్నా, సయామీకి మాత్రం పెద్దగా ఆఫర్లు రాలేదు. దీంతో ఆమె టాలీవుడ్‌లో అవకాశాల కోసం ప్రయత్నించినా, తిరస్కరణలే ఎదురయ్యాయి.

తర్వాత బాలీవుడ్‌లో చిన్న చిన్న సినిమాల్లో నటించే అవకాశాలు దక్కించుకున్నప్పటికీ, పెద్దగా గుర్తింపు దక్కలేదు. మరోసారి టాలీవుడ్‌లో ‘వైల్డ్ డాగ్’, ‘హైవే’ సినిమాలతో రీ ఎంట్రీ ఇచ్చినా, అవి కూడా హిట్లు కాకపోవడంతో ఆమెను మళ్ళీ టాలీవుడ్ దూరం పెట్టేసింది.

అయితే, సయామీ హिम्मత వదలలేదు. 2023లో నటించిన ‘8 ఏఎం మెట్రో’ ద్వారా నటిగా మంచి ప్రశంసలు అందుకుంది. అదే ఏడాది అభిషేక్ బచ్చన్‌తో కలిసి నటించిన స్పోర్ట్స్ డ్రామా ఆమెకు మరింత గుర్తింపు తెచ్చింది. ఆ తరువాత ఆమె జోరు పెరుగుతూ, ఏడాదికి రెండు సినిమాలు చొప్పున చేస్తూ ముందుకు సాగుతోంది. గతేడాది ఆమె నటించిన ‘అగ్ని’ మంచి టాక్ తెచ్చుకోవడంతో మరిన్ని హిందీ ఆఫర్లు వరుసగా వస్తున్నాయి.

ఇటీవల సన్నీ డియోల్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలో వచ్చిన ‘జాట్’ సినిమాలో ఎస్‌ఐ పాత్రలో నటించి, ప్రేక్షకుల దృష్టిని ఆకర్షించింది. గోపీచంద్ మలినేని దర్శకత్వం వహించిన ఆ సినిమాలో ఆమె నటనకు విశేష ప్రశంసలు దక్కాయి.

ఇక తాజాగా, సయామీ ఖేర్‌కు బాలీవుడ్‌లోనే అత్యంత క్రేజీ మల్టీస్టారర్ మూవీ దక్కింది. అక్షయ్ కుమార్, సైఫ్ అలీ ఖాన్ హీరోలుగా నటిస్తున్న ఈ భారీ చిత్రంలో హీరోయిన్‌గా సయామీని ఎంపిక చేసినట్లు సమాచారం. 17 ఏళ్ల తర్వాత అక్షయ్–సైఫ్ కాంబో రాబోతుండటంతో ఈ సినిమాపై అంచనాలు ఆకాశాన్ని అంటుతున్నాయి.

ఇంతటి భారీ ప్రాజెక్టులో హీరోయిన్ ఛాన్స్ దక్కించుకోవడంతో, త్వరలోనే సయామీ ఖేర్ బాలీవుడ్‌లో బిజీ హీరోయిన్‌గా మారడం ఖాయం అని సినీ వర్గాలు నమ్ముతున్నాయి.

KCR Skips Assembly Amid Kaleshwaram Report Heat

Share


BRS president and former Telangana chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) once again skipped the ongoing winter session of the assembly, which began on Saturday.

KCR has attended the House only for procedural requirements — once to take oath and later to formally retain his MLA position. Beyond such technicalities, the former CM has largely kept away from public life, signaling a calculated retreat from active politics.

While it is evident that KCR prefers not to face current Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy across the treasury benches, this time his absence is also linked to a more contentious issue — the upcoming discussion on the Justice P. C. Ghose Commission report on the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project.

Once showcased as KCR’s flagship achievement, the project has now come under sharp criticism. Experts and committees have termed it a monumental failure, pointing to planning errors, design flaws, and execution lapses. The collapse of three barrages has further deepened the crisis, turning the ambitious project into both a political setback and financial burden.

The state government is expected to table the Ghose Committee report during this session, with findings that reportedly highlight systemic blunders in the project’s conception and execution.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Gears Up for Acting Debut with Arun Mateshwaran’s Film

Share


Ace filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj is all set to step into a new phase of his career — making his acting debut in a film directed by Arun Mateshwaran. The director, known for his stylish action dramas, is now preparing for a complete physical transformation to fit into the role.

Interestingly, Lokesh is gearing up to portray an action hero on screen. Buzz suggests that he will be paired opposite actress Rachita Ram, though an official confirmation is awaited.

Rachita Ram, who was last seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, received wide appreciation for her performance as Kalyani, a layered character with vulnerable and grey shades. If cast, her chemistry with Lokesh will surely be a highlight.

To prepare for his debut, Lokesh has already undergone martial arts training in Thailand, ensuring he delivers convincingly in action sequences. The film will reportedly be shot in a single schedule across South India, keeping the production crisp and focused.

Once this acting debut wraps up, Lokesh will shift his attention back to direction, with his next big project featuring Aamir Khan.

Shalini Pandey’s Italy Vacation Pics Go Viral

Share


Shalini Pandey, who rose to fame with her breakout role in Arjun Reddy, continues to stay in the spotlight despite the ups and downs of her career journey.

After making a mark in Telugu films like Arjun Reddy, 118, and Nishabdham, Shalini moved to Mumbai to explore opportunities in Bollywood. While her debut buzz helped her land a few Hindi projects, big commercial success is still awaited. Nevertheless, the actress remains determined and is steadily pursuing her Bollywood dreams.

Beyond films, Shalini has built a strong presence on social media, particularly Instagram, where she often treats fans to her glamorous, bold, and stylish looks.

Today, she grabbed everyone’s attention with a set of bikini-clad vacation pictures from Italy. Striking a chic pose against a scenic backdrop, Shalini captioned her post with a playful line: “Some Moka pot, some gelato.”

The photos instantly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section with heart and fire emojis, showering her with admiration.

Pawan Kalyan’s OG Sets Record Pre-Release Business

Share


Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited gangster drama OG is already rewriting records in trade circles, weeks ahead of its release. Directed by Sujeeth and bankrolled by DVV Danayya, the film’s pre-release business has taken the industry by storm.

Danayya reportedly struck theatrical deals at premium rates even before Hari Hara Veera Mallu could test the market, refusing to slash even a single rupee from his asking price. The gamble paid off handsomely.

In Andhra, rights were sold for a staggering ₹80 crore, while Ceded fetched ₹23 crore and Nizam closed at ₹50 crore. Insiders note that the Nizam figure could climb even higher with revised ticket rates. Andhra, backed by special shows and enhanced pricing, is expected to make recovery smoother for buyers.

The strong confidence in OG stems from Sujeeth’s meticulous script development, which was refined with inputs from Trivikram, giving the film added weight and credibility.

However, the stakes are monumental. For OG to justify its ₹80 crore Andhra valuation, it will need to surpass the benchmark set by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, which collected ₹70 crore in the region.

With overseas demand already red-hot, trade analysts believe the film’s fate hinges on its opening weekend performance. If the special shows explode as expected and the hype carries through, distributors could recover their investments in record-breaking time.

The big question now: Can Pawan Kalyan’s gangster saga outshine Pushpa 2 and etch its name in box office history?

Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati Gets U/A, Censor Buzz Hails Her Career-Best Performance

Share


The buzz surrounding Anushka Shetty’s upcoming film Ghaati has reached new heights. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and backed by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainments, the film has successfully cleared censorship with a U/A certificate.

According to industry insiders, members of the censor board were highly impressed, praising the film’s grand scale and stellar performances.

Anushka Shetty is said to have delivered one of the most intense performances of her career as Sheelavathi. Her gripping character arc — from victim to criminal to legend — is already being hailed as a career-defining role, with early talk suggesting it could even be National Award-worthy.

Adding to the excitement, Vikram Prabhu (grandson of the legendary Sivaji Ganesan and son of veteran actor Prabhu) makes his Telugu debut in Ghaati. Notably, he dubbed his own lines in Telugu, bringing extra authenticity to his role.

The film has also been generating huge hype for its stunning visuals of the Eastern Ghats and the soulful music by Sagar Nagavelli. Songs like Sylore and Dassora have already struck a chord with audiences, turning into instant chartbusters.

With powerful storytelling, striking visuals, and Anushka’s commanding performance, insiders predict that audiences will walk out of theatres with Sheelavathi etched in their hearts.

No Clash Between Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29 and Allu Arjun’s AA22

Share


Social media is abuzz with speculations about a potential box office clash between Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29 and Allu Arjun’s AA22. However, industry insiders clarify that such a clash is highly unlikely, as both films are still a long way from release.

Director SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus with Mahesh Babu is tentatively eyeing a 2027 release. True to his style, Rajamouli is not expected to lock a release date until at least half of the shooting is complete. Mahesh too is said to be in no rush, prioritizing quality over speed.

On the other hand, Allu Arjun’s collaboration with director Atlee is moving at a steady pace. While shooting is progressing, the film demands a lengthy post-production schedule, given its large-scale visuals, multiple leading ladies, and Bunny’s diverse character shades. The makers are likely to chalk out a release plan only by next summer.

Considering the grand scale and pan-India appeal of both projects, trade experts believe that the makers will avoid a direct clash. A minimum two to three-month gap is expected between their releases to maximize reach and box office potential.

For now, the chatter around a Mahesh vs Bunny showdown is just speculative hype. When these films eventually arrive, they will create their own massive moments, without competing head-to-head.

Allu Family Matriarch Allu Kanakaratnamma Passes Away at 94

Share


The Allu family is mourning the loss of their beloved elder, Allu Kanakaratnamma, grandmother of star actors Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, who passed away in the early hours of Friday due to age-related ailments. She was 94.

Reports confirm that she breathed her last around 1:45 AM. Her mortal remains will be brought to Allu Aravind’s residence by 9 AM, with the final rites scheduled later in the afternoon at Kokapet.

Allu Kanakaratnamma stood as a strong pillar of support for the family over decades. She was the wife of legendary actor Allu Ramalingaiah and mother of ace producer Allu Aravind. As a matriarch, she witnessed her grandsons Allu Arjun and Ram Charan rise to national stardom, carrying forward the illustrious legacy of the Allu–Konidela family in Telugu cinema.

Currently, Allu Arjun (in Mumbai) and Ram Charan (in Mysore) are making their way to Hyderabad to join the family in their time of grief. Allu Aravind is personally overseeing the arrangements with the support of Megastar Chiranjeevi. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan and Naga Babu, who are in Vizag for a public event, are expected to visit the family tomorrow to pay their respects.

The passing of Allu Kanakaratnamma is not only a deep personal loss for the family but also marks the end of an era in the legacy of one of Telugu cinema’s most respected families.
