Tamannaah Likely to Sizzle in Prabhas’ The Raja Saab
Glam diva Tamannaah Bhatia, who has firmly established herself as the go-to star for high-voltage special numbers, is reportedly in advanced talks with the makers of the much-anticipated The Raja Saab, featuring Prabhas.
A celebrity manager close to the project shared, “Tamannaah has become a lucky charm for big-budget films. Her special songs not only amplify the film’s commercial appeal but also create massive buzz before release.”
Her sizzling performances in chart-topping tracks like Kaavaalaa from Jailer, the electrifying Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2, and her number in Raid 2 have cemented her position as one of the most sought-after dancers in the industry.
What sets Tamannaah apart is her ability to deliver complex choreography with grace and precision — often within tight shooting schedules. “Special songs usually require just 3–4 days of filming, so directors need actresses who are quick, professional, and camera-ready. Tamannaah fits that bill perfectly,” the source adds.
With The Raja Saab eyeing a grand worldwide release, Tamannaah’s addition could enhance the film’s pan-India appeal. If finalized, her presence could inject even more energy into this Prabhas-starrer.
Interestingly, Tamannaah joins a growing league of leading ladies turning heads with special songs. Recently, Sreeleela wowed audiences with her energetic number in Pushpa: The Rule, while stars like Nora Fatehi, Pooja Hegde, Kajal Aggarwal, and Shruti Haasan have all made their mark in similar performances.
“These are no longer just ‘item songs.’ With top heroines stepping in, they’ve evolved into glamorous highlights that elevate the film’s entertainment quotient,” the insider concludes.

Yash’s much-anticipated film TOXIC continues to stay in the limelight for multiple reasons. Marking his first major project post the KGF franchise, the film is currently in production and is slated for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
Helmed by acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, TOXIC is being developed as a pan-Indian venture, riding high on the massive popularity Yash has gained across regional and national markets.
Initially, KGF composer Ravi Basrur was associated with the project and even worked on the birthday teaser released earlier this year, leading fans to believe he would also handle the film’s soundtrack. However, fresh developments suggest a major change on the musical front.
Reliable industry sources have revealed that Anirudh Ravichander has been roped in as the music director for TOXIC, marking his debut in Kannada cinema. Known for delivering chart-topping albums in Tamil and Telugu, Anirudh’s entry is expected to elevate the film’s mass appeal and sonic identity.

Mahesh Babu in Legal Trouble Over Real Estate Fraud Allegations
Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu has landed in legal trouble after the Ranga Reddy District Consumer Forum issued fresh notices to him in a real estate fraud case. The case involves Sai Surya Developers, a company for which Mahesh Babu served as the brand ambassador.
According to the latest reports, Sai Surya Developers allegedly duped several buyers by advertising unauthorized real estate projects in Balapur village using Mahesh Babu’s image in their promotional material. Victims—ranging from middle-class families to doctors—claimed they were misled by these ads and purchased plots priced at around ₹34.80 lakh each. It was only later that they discovered the layout showcased in the brochures did not even exist.
The complainants alleged that the developers falsely claimed to have all the necessary permissions and highlighted luxurious amenities in the brochures, which featured Mahesh Babu prominently. Despite repeated follow-ups, the victims received only partial refunds—approximately ₹15 lakh each in multiple installments.
A case has now been filed against three parties: Sai Surya Developers (first respondent), its owner Kancherla Satish Chandragupta (second respondent), and Mahesh Babu (third respondent). The petitioners argued that the actor’s endorsement gave the fraudulent project legitimacy, influencing their decision to invest.
The Consumer Forum has summoned all three respondents to appear in person or via legal representatives on the upcoming Monday. The forum will investigate and determine the accountability of each party involved.
Meanwhile, a recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation revealed that Mahesh Babu was paid a total of ₹5.90 crore for his role as brand ambassador—₹2.50 crore of which was reportedly paid in cash. When summoned by the ED, Mahesh Babu requested more time to appear, citing prior shooting commitments.

Overwhelmed by the affection, Allu Arjun delighted the audience by delivering his iconic “Rappa Rappa” dialogue from Pushpa 2, instantly energizing the crowd.
The atmosphere at the event felt more like a heartwarming homecoming — a reunion between a beloved icon and the community he represents. Often regarded as the most loved and followed Telugu actor internationally, Allu Arjun’s charisma, humility, and deep-rooted cultural pride made NATS 2025 an unforgettable celebration.

Early Morning Mania Planned for WAR 2 in Telugu States
Massive preparations are currently underway to organize over 500 early morning shows for WAR 2 across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While the screenings are tentatively planned to start as early as 5 AM, official permissions from the respective state governments are still pending.
Sithara Entertainments, which acquired the Telugu theatrical rights for a whopping ₹80 crore, is actively coordinating with distributors and leading theatre chains to facilitate these special shows. The main driving force behind this decision is the massive fan following of Jr NTR, who plays a key role in the film.
Jr NTR’s box office pull in the Telugu states is well-known. His last film Devara had more than 500 special shows starting from 1 AM, making it the second-biggest opener in the region after RRR. With WAR 2 carrying similar hype, expectations are sky-high once again.
If the early morning screenings get the green light, WAR 2 could become the first non-Telugu film to achieve such a large-scale early show release, setting a new benchmark in the process.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, WAR 2 stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and is part of Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, which includes hits like Pathaan and Tiger 3. The film is set for a pan-India release on August 14th, and fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation on the early shows.
Until then, exhibitors are staying ready, anticipating an overwhelming demand once bookings go live.

Directed by Ravikanth Perepu, known for Krishna and His Leela, the film is backed by the makers of the successful Tillu franchise—promising another wild, high-energy cinematic ride.
The film’s official poster was unveiled today and has already stirred excitement. Boldly captioned with the line, “If middle finger was a man,” the poster captures the film’s rebellious, edgy tone. With its raw attitude and intense styling, BADASS looks set to shatter conventions and deliver a gritty, gripping experience. Adding to the buzz, the makers announced that the film will hit screens on July 9, 2025.
Siddhu, who’s already won praise for his quirky and versatile roles, is expected to raise the bar yet again with BADASS. The film is said to venture into bold, uncharted storytelling territory, drawing comparisons to the raw and daring style of filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga (Arjun Reddy fame).
Producer Naga Vamsi recently spoke about the film, saying, “If we pull this off, you’ll witness something groundbreaking. And if not, people will still say we dared to try something like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s style.”
Alongside BADASS, Siddhu Jonnalagadda has a busy slate ahead with other intriguing projects like Kohinoor (also under Sithara Entertainment), Jack, and Telusu Kada. With each film, Siddhu seems determined to push creative boundaries—and BADASS might just be his boldest step yet.
