Allu Aravind Reveals Inspiration Behind Allu Cinemas
One of the most luxurious theatres in Hyderabad right now is Allu Cinemas, which was recently inaugurated. Speaking about the idea behind the theatre, veteran producer Allu Aravind explained that instead of constructing a commercial complex on the property, he chose to build a cinema theatre. According to him, it was a way of giving back to the city that has supported generations of the Allu family through their careers in the film industry and to leave behind the “Allu” legacy in Hyderabad.
While interacting with the media, Allu Aravind revealed that he was inspired by Vamsi Krishna Reddy of UV Creations, who built the premium multiplex V Epiq. After seeing that project, Aravind felt motivated to create a similar high-end theatre experience in Hyderabad.
He also shared that an industrialist friend recently asked him for tickets to the IMAX big screen (PCX screen), which further encouraged him to include a giant screen at Allu Cinemas as well. Aravind openly acknowledging these inspirations once again highlighted his humility.
Meanwhile, the theatre is set to officially begin its journey with the release of Dhurandhar 2, followed by Ustaad Bhagat Singh starring Pawan Kalyan. With the launch of the new multiplex, many have been wondering whether it will also host special premieres and film events like AAA Cinemas, which is associated with Allu Arjun. However, for now, the management has indicated that the theatre will not be given for special events or private premieres.
Nara Devaansh Dhoti Ceremony Held in Simple Traditional Style
The dhoti ceremony of Nara Devaansh was held in a simple and traditional manner in Hyderabad. The event took place at the residence of his parents, Nara Lokesh and Nara Brahmani, with only close family members in attendance.
As per tradition, Devaansh’s maternal uncle Nandamuri Mokshagna presented him with the ceremonial dhoti. Elders from both the Nara and Nandamuri families blessed the young boy and wished him a happy and healthy future.
What stood out about the ceremony was its simplicity. Despite belonging to a prominent political and film family—being the grandson of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, the son of minister Nara Lokesh, and a member of the family of actor and MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna—the event was conducted in a very modest and traditional way. The family’s decision to keep the ceremony simple was widely appreciated.
Mega Heroes Skip Allu Cinemas Launch, Sushmitha Represents Family
The presence of several Mega family members at Allu Sirish’s wedding recently seemed to put an end to the long-discussed “Allu–Mega rift” rumours. Many members of the extended family were seen celebrating together, sending a positive signal to fans. However, Chiranjeevi could not attend the ceremony due to a health issue, while Pawan Kalyan reportedly skipped it because of personal commitments. Interestingly, Chiranjeevi was said to have attended the wedding of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna the following day.
Soon after, another major event grabbed attention in Hyderabad. Allu Arjun hosted the grand launch of Allu Cinemas, which is being promoted as a landmark project for Telugu movie exhibition. The highlight of the theatre is said to be Asia’s largest Dolby screen, making it a prestigious addition to the city’s cinema infrastructure.
The event was attended by Revanth Reddy as the chief guest. He appreciated the initiative and said the new theatre complex would add pride to Hyderabad’s film culture. Interestingly, this appearance drew attention because Revanth Reddy had earlier criticized Allu Arjun during the controversy surrounding the Sandhya Theatre incident. Despite that past criticism, he accepted the invitation to inaugurate the theatre, and both leaders were seen sharing a friendly rapport on stage.
However, what surprised many observers was the absence of other prominent Mega family members from the event. Actors such as Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej, and Nagababu were not present.
Sources close to the family clarified that there was no deliberate boycott. The Mega family was represented at the event by Sushmitha Konidela. According to insiders, the other members were busy with unavoidable professional and personal commitments, which prevented them from attending the inauguration.
Rashmika’s Old Comment on Vijay Deverakonda Goes Viral Amid Wedding Rumours
Rumours about the relationship between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have once again taken over social media. Several reports claim that the popular on-screen pair tied the knot on February 26, turning their long-rumoured relationship into one of the most talked-about celebrity topics online.
Amid these reports, an old statement made by Rashmika during the pre-release event of Dear Comrade has resurfaced and is now going viral again.
At the event, Rashmika revealed that her decision to work with Vijay Deverakonda again in Dear Comrade had initially created tension in her family. She said there was a serious argument at home before she agreed to sign the film.
“Before I accepted Dear Comrade, there was a big fight at my house,” Rashmika said. “My family members questioned why I wanted to act with Vijay Deverakonda again. It turned into a serious discussion at home.”
The duo first shared screen space in the blockbuster Geetha Govindam, which became a massive hit and made them one of the most loved on-screen pairs in Telugu cinema. During the shoot, the two actors developed a close friendship, and fans often speculated that their bond gradually grew stronger over time.
During the same event, Vijay Deverakonda also praised Rashmika’s dedication and said she remained strong despite criticism and speculation surrounding her choices.
Now, with reports suggesting that the duo may have begun a new chapter in their personal lives, fans are excited to see the beloved on-screen pair possibly become partners in real life as well.

The excitement surrounding Ustaad Bhagat Singh is reaching new heights as the makers intensify promotions ahead of the film’s release. On Friday, the team unveiled the much-awaited theatrical trailer, giving fans a glimpse of the high-energy entertainer in store.
The trailer introduces a fearless officer who refuses to bow to anyone. Loaded with mass moments and powerful sequences, the film promises to be a complete entertainer filled with whistle-worthy scenes designed to thrill fans in theatres.
Director Harish Shankar, who earlier delivered the blockbuster Gabbar Singh, appears to have once again captured the pulse of the audience. Every frame in the trailer is packed with mass appeal, stylish swagger, and powerful elevations that build up the film’s high-octane tone.
Pawan Kalyan dominates the screen with commanding presence. His signature mannerisms, powerful dialogue delivery, and impeccable timing create electrifying moments throughout the trailer.
Actresses Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna add charm and glamour with their lively screen presence. Meanwhile, R. Parthiban appears as a strong antagonist, intensifying the film’s central conflict.
On the music front, Devi Sri Prasad has already impressed with the film’s songs, while S. Thaman enhances the action and drama with a powerful background score, adding to the overall impact of the trailer.
Elon Musk’s xAI Launches Major Hiring Spree
Elon Musk’s xAI is facing significant co-founder exits, with Zihang Dai and Guodong Zhang among the latest to depart. Despite these departures, the company is actively hiring new talent as part of a strategic effort to rebuild its team.
Recently, xAI onboarded two senior leaders from AI coding startup Cursor, Andrew Milich and Jason Ginsberg, both of whom confirmed their hiring via posts on X (formerly Twitter). Milich and Ginsberg were part of Cursor’s product engineering team, which achieved $2 billion in annualized revenue, and will now report directly to Musk.
Zihang Dai reportedly left xAI last week and has removed the xAI badge from his X profile. Guodong Zhang is expected to exit soon, according to reports from The Information. These departures follow earlier exits of co-founders Toby Pohlen, Jimmy Ba, Tony Wu, and Greg Yang. As a result, only Manuel Kroiss and Ross Nordeen of the original 11 co-founders remain.
Amid these changes, xAI has announced plans to hire across multiple teams and for a new joint project with Tesla, called “Marcohard.” The company is essentially rebuilding its workforce after layoffs and co-founder departures. Musk also acknowledged past hiring missteps in an X post, stating he and Baris Akis are reviewing interview records to reach out to talented candidates who were previously overlooked. Musk wrote, “Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.”
This approach reflects xAI’s efforts to strengthen its team and realign its talent strategy while navigating the departures of key founding members.
Raashi Khanna Responds to Glamour Criticism Over Ustaad Bhagat Singh Role
Actress Raashi Khanna, who has been juggling between films, OTT projects, and different film industries, has finally landed a new Telugu film. She will be seen in Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar. In the film, Raashi is said to be appearing in a glamorous role, something she says she is quite happy about.
While Raashi has done glamorous roles earlier as well, some people have questioned why she continues to take up such roles instead of choosing more artistic characters. Responding to these comments, the actress explained that director Harish Shankar had clearly told her that the role in Ustaad Bhagat Singh required a glamorous look, including outfits like shorts and skirts.
Raashi said that she trusted the director’s vision and therefore agreed to the role. She also made it clear that what a woman chooses to wear is completely her personal decision. According to her, whether it is Indian wear or western outfits, the choice should belong to the individual and not be dictated by others.
Her remarks are also being seen as a response to critics who often comment on how actresses should dress at public events or in films. Interestingly, with Harish Shankar earlier facing criticism over the glamorous presentation of Bhagyashree Borse in Mr. Bachchan, Raashi is aware that her role in Ustaad Bhagat Singh might also draw attention. However, it appears that the actress is already prepared to address any such criticism confidently.
