Tragic Stampede at RCB Victory Celebrations Leaves 11 Dead in Bengaluru
A tragic incident occurred last evening during the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) victory celebrations outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, resulting in a stampede that claimed the lives of 11 people and left many others injured.
In the aftermath, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was approached for a statement regarding the incident. However, the BCCI distanced itself from responsibility, clarifying that the event was organized solely by the franchise and not under its direct supervision.
A BCCI spokesperson stated, “This was a franchise-level event held in their city. How can we be held responsible for an event organized by a franchise? Nevertheless, the BCCI is closely monitoring the situation and remains in constant contact with the RCB management. We are continuously assessing the developments and gathering relevant data.”
The BCCI has further indicated that it will consider implementing stricter guidelines and regulations for future celebratory events to prevent such unfortunate occurrences and ensure public safety. There is a strong possibility that the governing body may restrict or even prohibit large-scale victory parades going forward.
While victory celebrations of this scale are rare, the unfortunate events in Bengaluru underscore the need for stringent crowd management and safety protocols during such public gatherings.
CM Chandrababu and DCM Pawan Kalyan Discuss Success of Kadapa Mahanadu Event
Andhra Pradesh Cabinet Meeting Witnesses Private Discussion Between CM Chandrababu and DCM Pawan Kalyan on Mahanadu Event
The Andhra Pradesh cabinet convened last night with all key ministers present to deliberate on important state matters. Following the formal proceedings, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan engaged in a one-on-one discussion covering several topics of mutual interest.
According to recent media reports, the private conversation prominently featured the highly successful Mahanadu event held in Kadapa. Pawan Kalyan inquired about the public and political response to the event, to which CM Chandrababu expressed his satisfaction with the overwhelming turnout and enthusiasm.
Chandrababu reportedly emphasized that the massive public participation at Mahanadu serves as a clear indicator of strong grassroots support for the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh. He further noted that this success, coming on the heels of the equally triumphant Janasena plenary, augurs well for the ruling coalition’s prospects.
The positive reception of these landmark events is seen as a testament to the growing goodwill towards the alliance, signaling a favorable political climate ahead.
Amazon Prime Video Takes Full Control Over Hari Hara Veera Mallu Release After Another Delay
The much-anticipated release of Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu has been postponed once again from its originally scheduled date of June 12th, marking yet another delay for the project.
Reports indicate that this latest postponement has impacted the film’s financial arrangements, particularly with Amazon Prime Video, the film’s digital streaming partner. During a previous delay, the OTT platform reportedly reduced its deal value by Rs 5 crore. With the current rescheduling, Amazon Prime Video has not only further scaled down its financial commitment but has also asserted greater control over the film’s release strategy.
Unlike earlier stages where the filmmakers retained some influence over the theatrical release date, sources reveal that Amazon Prime Video now exercises full authority in determining the film’s theatrical launch. The platform’s decision on the release schedule will be guided exclusively by its internal content strategy and preferred streaming windows, rather than the producers’ timelines or preferences.
Consequently, the fate of Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s theatrical release no longer lies in the hands of the filmmakers but is firmly controlled by Amazon Prime Video. This shift underscores the growing influence OTT platforms have on film distribution and release planning in the evolving entertainment landscape.
YRF Takes Full Control for WAR 2 Global Release Ahead of Independence Day
Yash Raj Films (YRF) is set to make a major statement with the global release of WAR 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, scheduled for August 14, strategically timed ahead of the Independence Day weekend. This high-octane action spectacle marks Jr NTR’s much-anticipated debut in Hindi cinema and is poised to be a significant addition to YRF’s acclaimed Spy Universe franchise.
WAR 2 is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following blockbuster hits such as Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film unites two powerhouse actors—Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR—on screen for the very first time, promising an unprecedented cinematic experience.
In a notable move underscoring its confidence in the film, YRF has opted to retain complete control over the distribution and theatrical rights across all key territories, including Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Despite interest from major Telugu production houses for regional rights, YRF’s decision to manage the release directly reflects its commitment to a unified, large-scale launch. This strategy is mirrored across North India, other parts of South India, and international markets.
The production of WAR 2 is nearing completion, with only a high-energy dance sequence between Hrithik and Jr NTR remaining. This sequence, initially delayed due to Hrithik’s knee injury during rehearsals, is anticipated to conclude shortly, setting the stage for the film’s final post-production phase.
WAR 2 is set to face off at the box office against Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, which also releases on August 14. With two heavyweight films debuting on the same day, the Independence Day weekend is shaping up to be a spectacular showdown for audiences and box office collections alike.

In the months leading up to the Andhra Pradesh elections, the alliance between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and JanaSena Party (JSP) marked a pivotal moment in the state’s political landscape. The strategic partnership between Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu Naidu has not only proven beneficial for the alliance but also brought renewed hope and direction to the people of Andhra Pradesh.
