చై క్రష్ కథలో సుస్మితా, కలసి నటించాలనుకున్న అలియా!
యువ సామ్రాట్ నాగచైతన్య ప్రస్తుతం కెరీర్లో పుల్ స్వింగ్లో ఉన్నారు. తాజాగా ఆయన నటించిన “తండేల్” మూవీ 100 కోట్ల క్లబ్లోకి ఎంటర్ అవ్వడంతో, మళ్లీ జోష్ మీదకి వచ్చారు. ఇప్పుడు కార్తీక్ దండు దర్శకత్వంలో ఒక మిస్టికల్ థ్రిల్లర్ సినిమా చేస్తున్నారు. ఈ చిత్రంపై ఇప్పటికే భారీ అంచనాలున్నాయి. దాదాపు రూ.80 కోట్ల బడ్జెట్తో రూపొందుతున్న ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్ కోసం చైతన్య తన లుక్లో కూడా కొన్ని స్టైలిష్ మార్పులు తీసుకొచ్చాడు. సరికొత్త అవతారంలో చై కనిపించబోతున్నాడు.
ఇదిలా ఉంటే… చైతన్య ఓపెన్ నేచర్కి గుర్తింపు ఉన్న నటుడు. సినిమాల విషయంలో కానీ, వ్యక్తిగత విషయాల్లో కానీ చాలా సరళంగా స్పందిస్తుంటాడు. ఇటీవలి ఇంటర్వ్యూలో, ఏ హీరోయిన్తో కలిసి నటించాలని కోరుకుంటున్నారు? అన్న ప్రశ్నకు ఆలస్యించకుండా అలియాభట్ పేరు చెప్పాడు. ఆమె నటన తనకు ఎంతో ఇష్టమని, అవకాశం వస్తే ఒక్క క్షణం కూడా ఆలోచించకుండా వెంటనే ఓకే చేస్తానంటూ చెప్పారు.
ఇంతకీ ఇదేనా హైలైట్ అనుకుంటే… కాదు! అదే ఇంటర్వ్యూలో తన తొలి క్రష్ను కూడా రివీల్ చేశాడు. మాజీ విశ్వసుందరి సుస్మితా సేన్ అనే పేరును తెగ చుట్టేసాడు చై. అంతే కాకుండా, ఆమెను కలిసినప్పుడు కూడా ఈ విషయాన్ని ప్రత్యక్షంగా చెప్పినట్టు వెల్లడించాడు. సాధారణంగా సెలబ్రిటీలు ఇలాంటి విషయాలను మీడియా ముందు షేర్ చేసినా, అసలైన వ్యక్తులకు చెప్పే ధైర్యం చూపించరన్న మాట. కానీ చైతన్య మాత్రం ఆ క్రష్ను నిజంగానే సుస్మితకు చెప్పడం విశేషం.
ఇదిలా ఉండగా, సుస్మిత సేన్ 2015లో వచ్చిన “నిర్బాక్” అనే గుజరాతీ సినిమాలో చివరిసారిగా కనిపించారు. కానీ, 2022లో “తాల్” అనే వెబ్ సిరీస్తో మళ్లీ బ్యాక్ టూ ఫామ్ అయ్యారు. ఆ సిరీస్ సూపర్ హిట్ కావడంతో అభిమానులు ఆనందపడ్డారు. అయితే ఆ తర్వాత ఆమె వెబ్ ప్రాజెక్ట్స్కి దూరంగా ఉన్నారు. ప్రస్తుతం ఆమె వయసు 50కి చేరువలో ఉన్నా కూడా, ఎంతో యాక్టివ్గా సోషల్ మీడియాలో కనిపిస్తూ అభిమానులను అలరిస్తూనే ఉన్నారు.
Alia Bhatt’s ₹580 Cr Empire: Stardom, Business & Luxury Unveiled
Alia Bhatt, one of the most celebrated actresses in Indian cinema, has not only carved a niche for herself with her acting prowess but also enjoys a fulfilling personal and professional life. With a career spanning over a decade, Alia has established herself as one of the richest and most influential female actors in the country.
According to GQ India, Alia Bhatt’s net worth is estimated at a staggering ₹580 crore (approximately $69 million). She is among the top-paid actresses in India, reportedly charging between ₹8–15 crore per film. Her earnings stem not just from films, but also from brand endorsements, entrepreneurial ventures, and strategic investments.
Alia and her husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, together own properties and assets valued at around ₹850 crore. Ranbir recently inherited a six-storey bungalow in Mumbai’s upscale Pali Hill area from his grandparents Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor. With a value estimated between ₹350–400 crore, the construction of the bungalow is now complete, and the couple is expected to move in soon. Currently, they reside in their sentimental apartment ‘Vastu’, worth ₹35 crore, which also hosted their wedding.
Alia’s rise in Bollywood has been nothing short of phenomenal. Introduced to the silver screen by Karan Johar in Student of the Year (2012), she actually began her journey as a child artist in Sangharsh (1999). Over the years, she has delivered powerful performances in films like Raazi, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Dear Zindagi, and Brahmastra. Recently, she made her Hollywood debut alongside Gal Gadot in Heart of Stone.
Outside of cinema, Alia is an astute entrepreneur. She launched her own kidswear brand, Ed-a-Mamma, which quickly scaled to a ₹150 crore business within a year. Reports suggest that the brand was later acquired by Isha Ambani for a substantial amount. Alia also owns a production house, Eternal Sunshine Productions, under which she produced the hit film Darlings.
Her investment portfolio includes a ₹4.95 crore stake in beauty e-commerce giant Nykaa, and she also holds equity in fashion styling platform StyleCracker. Alia has extended her business footprint into eco-conscious ventures as well—she has backed D2C wellness brand Phool.co, which recycles temple flower waste into incense products and develops animal-friendly leather alternatives like “Fleather”.
A glance into her lifestyle paints the picture of opulence and refinement. From an ultra-luxurious London home to multiple upscale apartments in Mumbai’s Juhu and Bandra, Alia’s real estate choices reflect her taste. One of her Juhu apartments, jointly owned with her sister, spans 2,300 sq. ft. and cost ₹13.11 crore. Another apartment she bought for ₹32 crore mirrors her husband’s upscale choices.
Alia’s luxury car collection is equally impressive. She owns a Range Rover Vogue worth ₹1.88 crore and a BMW 7 Series valued at ₹1.37 crore. Her custom-designed vanity van, created by Gauri Khan, is another symbol of her extravagant lifestyle. She is also known for her designer handbag collection from global luxury brands like Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
Alia Bhatt’s journey is a perfect blend of talent, ambition, and strategic foresight. From her cinematic accolades to her thriving business ventures and luxurious living, she exemplifies the modern Indian woman redefining success across multiple arenas.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu Faces Backlash Over Historical Misrepresentation
Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the much-anticipated historical action drama starring Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan, is facing controversy just weeks ahead of its slated release on July 24. Directed by Krish and Jyothi Krishna, and featuring Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead, the film has come under fire from members of the Mudiraj community for allegedly misrepresenting a revered historical figure.
Community leaders allege that the central character in the film appears to be heavily inspired by Panduga Sayanna, a celebrated Telangana folk hero known as the “Robin Hood of Telangana” for his legendary acts of redistributing wealth from feudal landlords to the underprivileged. According to them, the film presents a fictionalized and distorted version of Sayanna’s life, diminishing the legacy and pride associated with him, particularly among Bahujan and backward communities.
In a press conference held at the Hyderabad Press Club, Mudiraj representatives criticized the filmmakers, Mega Surya Productions, accusing them of inserting commercially driven and historically inaccurate elements. They voiced concerns that such portrayals not only disrespect Sayanna’s contribution but also dilute the cultural identity of marginalized groups. The leaders also called upon other Bahujan communities to support their demand for accountability and warned of potential protests, including efforts to block the film’s release if their grievances are not addressed.
For Pawan Kalyan, Hari Hara Veera Mallu marks a high-profile return to cinema, aiming to reestablish his presence on the silver screen and reconnect with Telugu audiences. However, with rising tensions surrounding the film’s content, its road to release may face unforeseen hurdles unless the controversy is amicably resolved.
Puri Jagannadh Begins Pan-India Film with Vijay Sethupathi
Dynamic director Puri Jagannadh has officially kickstarted the regular shoot of his much-awaited Pan-India project featuring acclaimed Kollywood actor Vijay Sethupathi. The filming began today in Hyderabad, with leading lady Samyuktha also joining on the first day of the schedule.
For the initial schedule, the team is filming crucial talkie portions involving the lead cast on a massive set constructed in the city. With the stakes high, Puri—keen on making a grand comeback—is approaching the project with meticulous planning and renewed energy. Touted as #PuriSethupathi for now, the film marks a significant venture for the director, who is aiming to bounce back strong.
The film is being mounted on a Pan-India scale under the joint production of Puri Jagannadh’s Puri Connects and JB Narayan Rao Kondrolla of JB Mohan Pictures, with Charmme Kaur serving as the presenter.
Adding to the excitement, powerhouse performers Tabu and Duniya Vijay are on board for key roles. The remaining cast and technical crew details are expected to be announced shortly, building further anticipation for this ambitious project.
Don Lee’s Photos with Telugu Stars Fuel Spirit Speculations
For the past few months, speculation has been rife in film circles about Korean actor Don Lee (of Train to Busan and Eternals fame) joining the cast of Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s highly anticipated film Spirit. The rumors gained further traction when Don Lee shared a poster of Salaar 2 on his Instagram, sparking widespread excitement among fans.
Now, fresh fuel has been added to the fire as several Telugu actors have been spotted with Don Lee in the USA, intensifying speculation around the film. Actor Tarun was the first to post a selfie with Don Lee on social media, instantly sparking rumors of his comeback with Spirit. Adding weight to this speculation is the fact that both Tarun and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga reside in the same gated community—raising eyebrows and expectations.
Soon after, actor Srikanth also shared a picture with Don Lee, which has now led to speculation that he too may be part of the Spirit cast. These unexpected photos and social media interactions have sent fans into a frenzy, with many eagerly awaiting confirmation of the cast lineup.
Spirit, which stars Prabhas as a tough and intense police officer, features Tripti Dimri as the female lead. The film is expected to begin production later this year. With growing buzz and international star power potentially joining the mix, Spirit is shaping up to be one of the most awaited pan-India films.
Madhumita on Kaalidhar Laapata and Her Multilingual Film Journey
In an exclusive conversation with Deccan Chronicle, filmmaker Madhumita opened up about her recently released Hindi film Kaalidhar Laapata, a heartfelt adaptation of the Tamil hit KD, and also shared exciting insights into her upcoming Telugu and Tamil projects.
The idea to adapt KD into Hindi took shape after the original film received widespread acclaim and interest from industries including Bollywood and even Korea. Madhumita was clear from the outset that she didn’t want to make a frame-by-frame remake. Instead, she rewrote the characters and reimagined the story to suit the cultural and emotional textures of the Hindi-speaking heartland. For her, this made Kaalidhar Laapata an adaptation rather than a remake, allowing her to stay true to the spirit of the original while crafting something uniquely relevant for a different audience.
With five Tamil films and one Telugu project behind her, Madhumita believes her South Indian cinema background has enriched her perspective as a filmmaker. She attributes much of her artistic growth to those experiences and carries with her a piece of advice from the legendary K. Viswanath—to always focus on universal human emotions. This approach, she feels, helps her create films that connect across languages and cultures, ensuring that her storytelling remains heartfelt and resonant regardless of the industry.
Her collaboration with Abhishek Bachchan on Kaalidhar Laapata came through Nikhil Advani. When she narrated the story to Abhishek, his instant enthusiasm—asking “When do we shoot?”—gave her the confidence that he truly believed in the project. Madhumita described working with him as a dream come true, noting his sincerity, respect, and ability to dive deep into the character’s layers. Their detailed discussions on body language, costumes, and emotional beats helped shape Kaalidhar into a character with soul. She firmly believes no one else could have portrayed him with such simplicity, innocence, and authenticity.
She feels Kaalidhar Laapata will deeply resonate with Hindi audiences because of its emotional warmth and relatability. In her words, the film offers comfort and hope, acting as a reminder that even in the darkest times, one is never truly alone. The story is about connection, reassurance, and the human need to feel seen—universal themes that go beyond language barriers. Watching the film, she hopes, will feel like receiving a warm hug or sipping a comforting cup of chai.
Looking ahead, Madhumita has a packed schedule. She is currently preparing for a psychological thriller in Tamil, set to go on floors in September. Additionally, she’s working on a high-budget Telugu OTT project—a gripping hostage drama with a star-studded cast. Though she’s tight-lipped about the lead actor, she teases that she’s a long-time fan. Beyond that, she’s also developing an international monster film, showcasing her eagerness to explore different genres and expand her creative horizons. Grateful for the opportunities, Madhumita promises to continue pouring her heart into every project she takes on.
