NTR Fans Upset Over MLA Audio Leak, Industry Silence
The recent abusive audio leak involving a TDP MLA has caused significant embarrassment to NTR, deeply upsetting his fans. In response, supporters planned protests and even intended to hold a press meet in Andhra Pradesh, but their request was denied by the government.
Adding to their frustration is the silence of the film industry. Not a single voice has publicly condemned the incident, leaving fans feeling that NTR has been abandoned by his own industry during this controversy.
Fans have also interpreted the government’s refusal to grant permission for their press meet in a critical light. They argue that if the authorities were truly indifferent, the event would have been allowed. By denying permission, they believe the government is intimidated by NTR and his supporters.
Kangana Ranaut Shuts Down Marriage Rumours
Kangana Ranaut, known for speaking her mind boldly, is once again making headlines—not for a film, but for her views on marriage and personal life.
For months, gossip columns speculated that Kangana might be planning to get married. But she has decisively put an end to the rumours.

This, she said, feels like her natural way of life, and she has no plans to compromise it for traditional expectations.
Her candid remarks immediately ignited social media. Supporters lauded her for living life on her own terms, while critics labeled her statements as arrogant. Unfazed, Kangana emphasized that she does not owe anyone an explanation for her choices. Love her or hate her, she continues to play by her own rules, and that is why every word she utters becomes news.

Kavitha Slams BRS Over Union Post Removal
BRS leader and MLC Kavitha has openly criticized her party for removing her from the honorary president post of the Telangana Coal Miners Union. She called the decision—taken overnight while she is in the US—illegal and insulting.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the Singareni workers, Kavitha questioned the party leadership and alleged that the appointment of BRS leader Koppula Eshwar was made behind closed doors, without consulting the workers. She described it as a violation of labor laws and urged miners not to accept the decision.
Kavitha further claimed that this move is part of a larger conspiracy against her within the party. She noted that her earlier letters, which raised concerns about internal party issues, had already caused discomfort, and this latest action is a continuation of attempts to sideline her.
She alleged that no elections were conducted for the union, and changes were implemented without considering the wishes of the workers. Calling it an insult to both her and the union, Kavitha warned that she would expose those behind the conspiracy.
Concluding her letter, she stated that her removal is politically motivated and made it clear that she would not remain silent.
Vishnu Manchu Invests ₹100 Crore in Microdramas
Telugu cinema circles are buzzing as actor-producer Vishnu Manchu, fresh off the critical acclaim for his performance in Kannappa, makes headlines with his next bold move: a ₹100 crore investment in Microdramas.
Vishnu has reportedly backed this ambitious project with his own capital while raising additional equity, signaling a major leap toward the future of entertainment.
So, what are Microdramas? These are short, cinematic episodes ranging from 3–7 minutes, crafted specifically for mobile-first audiences. Each story is tightly written, visually rich, and emotionally gripping—delivering the impact of a full-length film in just a few minutes. Unlike casual reels, Microdramas come with full-scale production, professional direction, and high storytelling value.
Following the success of Kannappa, which cemented Vishnu’s reputation as both an actor and a producer, this venture reinforces his vision as a game-changing entrepreneur in Indian entertainment.
An industry insider noted: “Vishnu has moved from delivering one of the most talked-about performances of the year to betting big on how the next generation will consume stories. This could be a double milestone—a critical win and a business masterstroke.” Reports also suggest that Vishnu is preparing announcements for his upcoming projects, keeping fans and the industry eagerly anticipating his next moves.

After his villainous turn in Jawan and subsequent success with solo films like Thalaivar Thalaivi (Telugu: Sir Madam), Vijay Sethupathi is once again surprising fans with his versatility. Even if he initially declined, Atlee reportedly persuaded him until he agreed. His role, described as “Makkal Selvan next-level,” is expected to be substantial and pivotal to the story.
Fans are eagerly watching how Atlee balances the screenplay, ensuring that every actor’s role is meaningful. Unlike some previous projects where talented actors were underutilized, this film seems to promise careful planning and execution.

Google Pixel 10 Launches with AI-Powered Photo Editing
Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 10 lineup, including the flagship Pixel 10 Pro Fold, with a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence. A key highlight of the launch is a major upgrade to Google Photos: conversational AI-powered editing, designed to make photo enhancement effortless and intuitive.
Powered by Google’s Gemini AI, the new feature allows users to edit images by simply describing their desired changes in natural language—through text or voice. Instructions such as “remove the cars in the background,” “restore this old photo,” or even broad commands like “make it better” can be processed instantly. Users can further refine edits with follow-up prompts or explore creative options like altering backgrounds, adding props such as sunglasses or party hats, and applying imaginative transformations.
To promote transparency, Google Photos now supports C2PA Content Credentials—an industry-standard metadata framework indicating whether an image is original, AI-enhanced, or edited. The Pixel 10 series is the first to integrate this capability directly within its camera app, with broader rollout to Android and iOS devices expected in the coming weeks.
The conversational editing feature will debut in the United States on Pixel 10 devices, followed by gradual expansion to other markets, including India. According to Google, this update aims to democratize advanced photo editing while setting a new benchmark for clarity in AI-driven image creation.
Starlink Ties Up with UIDAI for Aadhaar e-KYC in India
Elon Musk’s Starlink has taken a major step toward expanding its satellite broadband services in India by partnering with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to enable Aadhaar-based authentication. The collaboration will allow the global satellite internet provider to verify customers through a faster, paperless, and more secure e-KYC process.
This development follows the government’s recent approval for Starlink to launch satellite-based internet services in the country. With its current capacity, the company aims to onboard nearly 20 lakh customers in the initial phase.
Under the agreement, Starlink has been designated as both a Sub-Authentication User Agency (Sub-AUA) and Sub-eKYC User Agency (Sub-eKUA). The partnership was formalized in the presence of UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar, Deputy Director General Manish Bhardwaj, and Starlink India Director Parnil Urdhwareshe.
While Aadhaar authentication will streamline regulatory compliance and customer onboarding, its use will remain voluntary, in line with India’s existing digital identity framework. By integrating Aadhaar’s trusted infrastructure, Starlink seeks to deliver seamless user experiences and extend high-speed satellite internet to underserved and remote regions.
The company is also collaborating with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to accelerate internet penetration for households, enterprises, and institutions. This strategic alignment of satellite technology with India’s robust digital public infrastructure underscores the country’s emergence as a hub for global technology partnerships.
