అఖండ 2, మార్షల్‌లో విలన్‌గా ఆది పినిశెట్టి

Share


టాలీవుడ్ టాలెంటెడ్ నటుడు ఆది పినిశెట్టి గురించి ప్రత్యేక పరిచయం అవసరం లేదు. దర్శకుడు రవిరాజా పినిశెట్టి కుమారుడిగా సినీ రంగంలోకి అడుగుపెట్టిన ఆది, తన కెరీర్ ప్రారంభం నుంచే విభిన్నమైన పాత్రలను ఎంచుకుంటూ, నటనలో ప్రయోగాలు చేస్తూ తనకంటూ ప్రత్యేక గుర్తింపు తెచ్చుకున్నారు. తాజాగా ‘మయసభ’ వెబ్ సిరీస్‌లో ఆకట్టుకుని ప్రేక్షకుల ప్రశంసలు అందుకున్నారు.

నటుడిగా తన ప్రతిభను నిరూపించుకున్న ఆది ఇప్పుడు భారీ బడ్జెట్ సినిమాలపై దృష్టి పెట్టారు. ఇప్పటికే బాలయ్య-బోయపాటి శ్రీను కాంబోలో తెరకెక్కుతున్న అఖండ 2: తాండవంలో ఆది విలన్‌గా నటిస్తున్నారు. ఈ సినిమాలో ఆయన పాత్రకు మంచి ప్రాధాన్యత ఉందని టాక్.

అఖండ 2తో పాటు ఇప్పుడు ఆది మరో భారీ ప్రాజెక్ట్‌లో ఛాన్స్ దక్కించుకున్నట్టు సమాచారం. అయితే ఈసారి ఆయన నటించబోయేది తెలుగు సినిమా కాదు. కార్తీ హీరోగా తమిళ దర్శకుడు తమిజ్ రూపొందిస్తున్న మార్షల్ సినిమాలో కీలక పాత్ర పోషిస్తున్నారు. ఈ పాత్రకు నెగటివ్ షేడ్స్ ఉండబోతున్నాయని, చాలా ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్‌గా ఉంటుందని చెబుతున్నారు. అసలు ఈ పాత్ర కోసం ముందుగా న‌వీన్ పౌలీని అనుకున్నారు కానీ చివరికి ఆది పినిశెట్టిని ఫైనల్ చేశారు.

ఈ సినిమాలో ఆది తోపాటు పలువురు మలయాళ నటులు కూడా నటించనుండగా, క‌ల్యాణి ప్రియదర్శన్ హీరోయిన్‌గా కనిపించనుంది. అంతేకాదు, టాలీవుడ్ నేచురల్ స్టార్ నాని కూడా స్పెషల్ రోల్‌లో కనిపించే అవకాశం ఉందన్న వార్తలు వినిపిస్తున్నాయి. అయితే దీనిపై అధికారికంగా ఎలాంటి ధృవీకరణ రాలేదు.

డ్రీమ్ వారియర్ పిక్చర్స్ భారీ బడ్జెట్‌తో నిర్మిస్తున్న ఈ సినిమాకు సాయి అభ్యంకర్ సంగీతం అందిస్తుండగా, వచ్చే ఏడాదిలో ప్రేక్షకుల ముందుకు రానుంది.

నాగార్జున కెరీర్‌లో కీలక మలుపులు – అభిమానుల మిశ్ర స్పందన

Share


ఇటీవల కింగ్ నాగార్జున కుబేర సినిమా ద్వారా టాలీవుడ్‌లో కొత్త ప్రయాణాన్ని ఆరంభించిన సంగతి తెలిసిందే. ఇందులో ఈడీ అధికారి దీపక్ పాత్రలో ఆయన కనిపించారు. ఆ పాత్రకు రెండు వైపులున్నాయి – పాజిటివ్, నెగటివ్. చివరికి దీపక్ పాత్రను పాజిటివ్‌గా ముగించినప్పటికీ, క్లైమాక్స్‌లో ఆ పాత్ర చనిపోవడం అభిమానుల్లో కొంత అసంతృప్తిని కలిగించింది. అంతేకాదు సినిమాలో నాగార్జున కీలక పాత్రకే పరిమితమవ్వడం ఒక వర్గం ప్రేక్షకులను సంతృప్తి పరచలేదు.

సాధారణంగా స్టార్ హీరో ఒకరిది అయిన సినిమాలో నాగ్ లాంటి అగ్ర నటుడు కీలక పాత్ర చేస్తే అలాంటి ఫీల్ సహజమే. నటుడిగా తనకు నచ్చిన పాత్ర చేసినా, హీరో కాదనే భావన అభిమానుల్లో తగిలింది. అయితే కుబేర బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద 100 కోట్లకుపైగా వసూళ్లు సాధించడం ఆ అసంతృప్తిని కొంతవరకు తగ్గించింది. నాగ్ కెరీర్‌లో ఆ స్థాయిలో కలెక్షన్లు వచ్చిన తొలి చిత్రం కావడంతో అది అభిమానులకు ఒక ఊరటగా మారింది.

తర్వాత ఆయన పాన్-ఇండియా చిత్రం కూలీలో నేరుగా విలన్ పాత్రలో కనిపించిన సంగతి తెలిసిందే. సైమన్ పాత్రలో రాజనీకాంత్, ఆమిర్ ఖాన్, ఉపేంద్రలతో కలిసి స్క్రీన్ షేర్ చేశారు. ఈసారి నాగార్జున విలన్‌గా వస్తున్నాడని ముందే క్లారిటీ ఇవ్వడంతో అభిమానులు ఆ పాత్రపై మంచి హైప్ క్రియేట్ చేసుకున్నారు. ముఖ్యంగా రజనీకాంత్ కూడా ఆ రోల్ తానే చేయాలని అనుకోవడం వల్ల ఆ పాత్ర ప్రాధాన్యం మరింత పెరిగింది.

కానీ కూలీ ఫలితం అంచనాలకు తగ్గట్లుగా రాకపోవడంతో అభిమానుల్లో నిరాశ నెలకొంది. సినిమా హిట్ అయితే నాగార్జున సైమన్ పాత్రను కొనసాగించే అవకాశం ఉందని ఫిలింనగర్‌లో టాక్ వచ్చింది. కానీ ప్రతికూల ఫలితంతో ఆ అవకాశమే తగ్గిపోయింది. ఇకపై ఇలాంటి పాత్రలతో నాగార్జున కెరీర్ ఏ దిశగా సాగుతుందో చూడాలి.

Kantara Chapter 1 Sets Record Pre-Release Business

Share


The Kannada blockbuster Kantara (2022) needs no special introduction. Without any major expectations, the film turned into a sensational hit, winning massive applause not just in Kannada but also in its Telugu-dubbed version. It went on to earn more than ₹400 crore worldwide, becoming a cult classic.

Following this phenomenal success, the makers decided to create a prequel titled Kantara: Chapter 1. Directed once again by Rishab Shetty himself, the film explores the events that took place before the original story. The shoot has already been completed, and the movie is set for a grand worldwide release on October 1, 2025. Meanwhile, the team has kick-started its pre-release business.

Given the extraordinary response to the first part, expectations for Chapter 1 are sky-high even before the trailer has been unveiled. This massive craze has translated into record-breaking pre-release business. Surprisingly, the film’s Telugu rights alone were sold for an unprecedented ₹100 crore — a feat usually reserved for big star-hero films.

Breaking it down, the Nizam rights fetched ₹40 crore, Andhra rights were sold for ₹45 crore, and the Ceeded region rights closed at ₹15 crore. What makes this deal even more remarkable is that Kantara is not a straight Telugu film but a dubbed release. The sheer confidence in the franchise’s brand value and Rishab Shetty’s impact has stunned industry circles.

The film stars Rishab Shetty in the lead role, with Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead and Gulshan Devaiah in a key role. Produced on a massive scale by Hombale Films, Kantara: Chapter 1 is already one of the most awaited films of 2025. Now, all eyes are on how far it can go at the box office and whether it will recreate or surpass the magic of the first part.

It’s not often that an actor’s career transforms into a cultural legacy. For the “God of Masses” Nandamuri Balakrishna, five decades in cinema have now earned him a rare global honor. The World Book of Records (UK) has chosen to feature him in its exclusive Gold Edition, celebrating his 50 years of excellence as a leading man in Indian cinema.

Barbarik Breaks Away from Hero-Villain Template

Share


Commercial cinema usually follows a familiar template — a hero-versus-villain conflict driving the story. But the upcoming film Barbarik dares to break that stereotype.

Produced by Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala under Vanara Celluloid and presented by director Maruthi, the film is helmed by Mohan Srivatsa. Featuring an ensemble cast including Sathyaraj, Udaya Bhanu, Vasishta N. Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Kranthi Kiran, and Saanchi Rai, Barbarik is slated for release on August 29. With its teaser and trailer already sparking curiosity, expectations are steadily rising.

As part of promotions, director Mohan Srivatsa shared his personal journey — from learning music and performing at events to chasing his dream of filmmaking. His impactful narration of Barbarik convinced the producer instantly, and even Maruthi extended his support, impressed by the story’s unique flavor despite being outside his usual zone.

In the film, Sathyaraj takes on the role of Barbarik, a character rooted in the Mahabharata and known for his legendary three arrows that could have ended the Kurukshetra war. But unlike traditional narratives, Srivatsa reveals that Barbarik has no heroes or villains. Instead, it is a layered tale where every character battles internal conflicts, and the core message is that true greatness lies in mastering one’s emotions.

Adding to the intrigue, the film’s music is composed by the Infusion Band, chosen for their fresh and powerful sound, promising a unique auditory experience.

With its unconventional storytelling, rich characters, and mythological depth, Barbarik is shaping up to be a refreshing departure from formulaic commercial cinema.

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan is all set to make a grand return to the big screen with his much-awaited film OG, slated for release on September 25. Expectations are sky-high as fans eagerly await what is being touted as Kalyan’s ultimate comeback movie.

The buzz around the film hit a new peak when a story synopsis of OG surfaced online after it was spotted on a leading cinema ticketing platform. The description instantly went viral, fueling discussions among fans and movie lovers.

According to the listed synopsis, the film follows the journey of Ojas Gambheera (OG), a feared mob boss played by Pawan Kalyan. After disappearing from Mumbai’s underworld for a decade, he resurfaces with just one mission — to reclaim his lost empire and take vengeance on the current tyrant, Omi Bhau. As loyalties fracture and alliances shift, OG sparks a brutal criminal war while also confronting buried betrayals from his past.

This gripping storyline positions Pawan Kalyan as a powerful underworld don in a mass-loaded avatar, something fans have been eagerly waiting for. With director Sujeeth at the helm, the film promises high-octane action, raw intensity, and a larger-than-life portrayal of Kalyan like never before.

With such an explosive premise, OG is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2025, and fans are counting down the days to witness Pawan Kalyan’s roaring comeback.

Triple Box Office Clash Set for September 12

Share


After the Independence Day box office clash in Telugu cinema, audiences are gearing up for yet another exciting showdown — a three-way battle in September.

In the second week of the month, three much-anticipated films from different genres are set to hit the big screens, making the clash even more interesting.

First up is Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’ Kishkindapuri, directed by Kaushik Pegallapati of Chavu Kaburu Challaga fame. Starring Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead, the horror drama has been creating a solid buzz. Its teaser already raised expectations among movie lovers, setting the stage for a promising release on September 12th.

Next in line is Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj and produced by Rana Daggubati. Featuring Bhagyashri Borse as the heroine, the film is said to revolve around the movie industry, offering a refreshing backdrop. Industry talk suggests that the makers are eyeing a September 12th release as well.

Adding to the competition is Teja Sajja’s superhero film Mirai. The movie is in its final stages of post-production, and the team is looking at either September 12th or 19th as the release date, with September 12th being the likelier option. The plan is to secure a two-week solo run before the arrival of OG.

At present, all three films are maintaining low-key promotions, and it’s still too early to predict which one will gain the upper hand. But with a horror drama, an industry-centric story, and a superhero spectacle releasing around the same time, the box office is set for a thrilling triangular clash this September.

Samantha, Nandini Reddy Reunite for Ma Inti Bangaram

Share


Samantha is set to reunite with director Nandini Reddy for a new film titled Ma Inti Bangaram. Interestingly, despite its family drama-sounding title, the project is said to be a crime thriller set in the 1980s, offering audiences something unexpected.

If reports are true, Samantha will headline the film much like she did in Oh Baby, which turned out to be one of her most acclaimed performances. The actress, who has faced setbacks with her recent outings like Yashoda and Shaakuntalam, is keen on making a strong comeback. While Kushi brought her visibility, it wasn’t a female-centric film.

On the other hand, Samantha’s stint as a producer brought her some success with Subham. Now, she is looking to step up as a performer once again, and this project could mark an important chapter in her career.

This will also be the third collaboration between Samantha and Nandini Reddy. Their first film Jabardasth didn’t click, but they bounced back with the superhit Oh Baby. Expectations are naturally high on what this new pairing will deliver.

While details of the supporting cast and crew are still under wraps, buzz is strong that Samantha is ready to test her luck once again in the crime thriller space. More updates on Ma Inti Bangaram are expected soon.

Jeethu Joseph Promises Fresh Approach in Drishyam 3

Share


Jeethu Joseph, the celebrated filmmaker behind Mohanlal’s iconic Drishyam franchise, is currently working on the much-awaited Drishyam 3.

Speaking at the Manorama News Conclave, Jeethu candidly admitted that he has grown “tired” of following the same formula of twists and suspense. Promising a fresh approach this time, he clarified, “It will be clear to viewers that I didn’t do it for the money.”

The director revealed that Drishyam 3 will bring a new perspective to Georgekutty’s story, with the thrills unfolding more “naturally” within the family’s journey. “Audiences will understand the difference when they see the film,” he said, stressing that the narrative won’t simply rely on the familiar pattern of surprise elements.

Jeethu also spoke about his creative fatigue with formulaic thrillers. “I’m bored of doing films in the same pattern. In Telugu cinema, they ask for a climactic twist. In Tamil, they demand logic. It’s become too much,” he remarked. Looking ahead, he expressed a desire to explore different cinematic spaces beyond constant twists and logical puzzles.

Interestingly, the director hinted that Drishyam 4 could also happen in the future, though he has not yet formed a clear vision for it. He revealed that the climactic moments of both Drishyam 2 and Drishyam 3 came to him first, even before shaping the full stories. Recalling a conversation with Mohanlal after the screening of Drishyam 2, Jeethu said, “I told Lalettan the climax idea for the third part — and he loved it.”

With Jeethu promising a refreshing take, expectations are sky-high for Drishyam 3, as fans eagerly await another gripping chapter in Georgekutty’s saga.

NTR Focuses on Telugu Films After War2 Setback

Share


NTR’s recent venture into the Hindi market with War2 did not go as planned. The film, which was expected to open new doors for him in Bollywood, ended up being a massive box office disappointment. The setback has prompted NTR to take a firm decision about his future projects.

Going forward, NTR has resolved to avoid dubbing films entirely and focus solely on original Telugu productions. He intends to collaborate with established Telugu directors to leverage his strong fan base in the Telugu states. The Hindi debut may not have delivered the results he hoped for, but NTR has accepted the outcome and is now ready to bounce back.

Currently, he has two major projects lined up with directors Prashanth Neel and Trivikram Srinivas. His attention is fully on these films, and any other potential projects will be considered at a later stage.

As one of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars, NTR is aware of the high expectations that come with his stardom. His decision to avoid other-language films is partly due to the challenges of replicating the commercial success he consistently achieves in Telugu cinema, which, according to him, some non-Telugu directors may struggle to deliver.

This strategic move marks a return to NTR’s core strengths, ensuring that his next projects remain firmly rooted in the Telugu film industry.

To celebrate the milestone, RGV sat down with ManaTelugu for an exclusive and in-depth interview, revisiting the journey of the film that changed the face of Telugu cinema.

In his trademark unfiltered style, RGV reflected on how Shiva broke away from conventional storytelling, bringing raw intensity, gripping action, and technical innovations that went on to define his signature filmmaking approach.

More than just nostalgia, the interview doubled as both entertainment for fans and a masterclass for aspiring filmmakers. RGV openly discussed his creative struggles, the industry challenges he faced, and the mindset that fueled his bold choices during the making of Shiva.

Adding further intrigue, he also shared interesting anecdotes about stalwarts like Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna, Suresh Babu, and Raghavendra Rao.

For cinephiles and young filmmakers alike, this candid conversation is an unmissable glimpse into the making of a film that continues to inspire generations.

Vintage Chiranjeevi Promise from Srikanth Odela

Share


Director Srikanth Odela, who made a strong debut with Dasara, is currently busy with his second venture, The Paradise, starring Nani. Even as the film is shaping up, the young filmmaker has already bagged a dream project — his third outing will be with none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi, expected to roll out next year.

On the occasion of Chiranjeevi’s birthday, Srikanth shared a heartfelt note expressing his admiration for the legendary actor. His words instantly connected with fans, sparking excitement that Odela might craft a film for Chiru much like how Lokesh Kanagaraj revived Kamal Haasan’s stardom with Vikram. Adding to the buzz, the director promised to showcase the “vintage Chiranjeevi” on screen once again.

While many appreciated his passion and respect for the Megastar, a section of netizens felt his words bordered on over-the-top flattery. Critics argue that such “bhajana” often risks prioritizing fan service over solid storytelling. All eyes are now on Srikanth Odela to see if he can strike the right balance between mass appeal and strong content.
