Kamal Haasan’s Remark Sparks Kannada Backlash
Veteran actor Kamal Haasan’s recent comments at the Thug Life event, where he stated that Kannada originated from Tamil, have sparked major backlash in Karnataka. The remark has led to widespread protests, legal action, and a ban on the film’s release in the state. Fans and political groups have been demanding a public apology, but Kamal Haasan has remained silent on the matter so far.
Amid this controversy, actor Rana Daggubati broke his silence during the promotions of Rana Naidu Season 2. Speaking about the incident, Rana reflected on the growing trend of outrage culture. “Social media has become a space where every word is amplified into a headline,” he remarked. “What was once a simple opinion now quickly turns into a full-blown political issue.”
Despite the buzz, Thug Life was released across several regions today—excluding Karnataka. The absence of a Karnataka release has reportedly caused the film to lose approximately ₹12.5 crore in potential revenue. There are rumors that Kamal Haasan might consider taking the matter to the Supreme Court, though no official statement has been issued.
Meanwhile, Kamal remains immersed in various film projects. However, tensions between the Kannada audience and the iconic actor show no signs of easing, and the controversy surrounding his linguistic remarks continues to simmer.

The mighty Baahubali franchise is returning to theatres—but this time, with a unique twist. Marking ten years since Baahubali: The Beginning first redefined Indian cinema, the makers are planning an epic re-release that combines both parts of the saga into a single cinematic experience.

The goal is to create a fresh theatrical experience for fans, blending nostalgia with spectacle.
Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, the Baahubali films weren’t just blockbusters; they were a cultural phenomenon. From their stunning visuals and powerful storytelling to their record-breaking collections, the franchise pushed the boundaries of Telugu and Indian cinema to new heights.
This re-release is more than a celebration—it’s a strategic attempt to reintroduce the saga to a new generation of moviegoers and reignite the magic of watching the story unfold on the big screen. With excitement already building, Baahubali may once again rule the box office with thunderous success.
Tamannaah’s Rising Streak in Supernatural Thrillers
Hyderabad: Glamorous actress Tamannaah Bhatia seems to be embracing the supernatural genre with remarkable enthusiasm, delivering a series of chilling performances in recent thrillers. Her latest project, Odela 2, features her confronting sinister spirits, and her captivating portrayal has been widely praised on OTT platforms. Director Ashok Teja, who directed Odela 2, remarks, “Tamannaah is not just a stunning face; she is a phenomenal actress unafraid to take on unconventional and challenging roles. She embodied the character of Lady Aghora with great ease, showing true dedication and professionalism. Her performance in Odela 2 garnered widespread acclaim.”
Tamannaah also garnered attention for her role in the Tamil horror film Chandraleka 4, where she portrayed a terrified housewife battling ghosts to protect her family. “She delivered a stellar performance, perfectly balancing vulnerability with inner strength,” the director adds. Continuing her streak in the supernatural space, Tamannaah stars alongside Sidharth Malhotra in the Bollywood horror thriller VVAN, where she once again faces dark forces with both intelligence and courage. “It all started with her impactful role and chartbuster song in Stree 2.

Manchu Manoj Faces Setback with Bhairavam, Hopes Pinned on Mirai
Amid ongoing personal and professional challenges, actor Manchu Manoj was hoping for a strong comeback with his latest film Bhairavam. However, the film’s underwhelming box office performance has come as a major disappointment—not only to fans but also to Manoj himself. According to trade insiders, while Manoj’s portrayal of a character with grey shades had some impactful moments, the film failed to resonate with audiences.
Sources close to the actor revealed that Manoj is particularly frustrated with the growing trend of re-releasing old blockbusters, which he feels is impacting the performance of new films. The re-release of Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja on May 31, which coincided with Bhairavam’s release, was cited as a key factor in the film’s box office struggle. Manoj refrained from naming Khaleja directly but stated, “Re-releases should be limited to weekdays like Mondays, rather than eating up crucial weekend slots that are vital for new releases.”
Adding to the turbulence, Manoj found himself in the middle of a controversy during the film’s promotional tour. His sarcastic comment on the iconic ‘Sivayya’ dialogue from his brother Vishnu Manchu’s upcoming film Kannappa stirred backlash online. Realizing the impact of his words, Manoj later issued a public apology and conveyed his best wishes for the devotional project.
Having returned to the silver screen after a gap of over nine years, Manoj had high hopes for Bhairavam to revive his career and reestablish his position in Tollywood. “In today’s industry climate, box office numbers often overshadow talent,” noted a film distributor, reflecting on the reality many actors face.
Looking ahead, Manoj is now pinning his hopes on Mirai, where he plays a significant role. Industry observers believe this could be a crucial opportunity for the actor to bounce back and prove his mettle once again.
