Share


The much-awaited Hari Hara Veera Mallu is gearing up to stun audiences with groundbreaking visual effects that could potentially redefine how Telugu cinema blends fantasy and historical drama. As fans of Powerstar Pawan Kalyan eagerly await the trailer drop on June 2, early buzz suggests the film will be a visual spectacle that delivers goosebumps.

According to industry reports, the makers have invested a whopping ₹20–₹25 crore solely on VFX, particularly for the film’s high-octane climax. This sequence is said to be a breathtaking fusion of imagination and history, brought to life by 16 dedicated VFX teams working behind the scenes.

Pawan Kalyan’s fans can expect to see the actor in a fierce, vintage avatar—one that channels rage, rebellion, and raw charisma. Insiders hint that this visually loaded climax may be one of the best of his career, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Set against the backdrop of the 17th-century Mughal Empire, this period action-adventure follows Veera Mallu, a legendary rebel who dares to challenge the might of the Mughals. The story centers around his audacious mission to steal the famed Kohinoor diamond, a move that triggers the first-ever Indian revolt against the empire. Veera’s character is laced with wit, style, and unmatched bravery, making him a symbol of resistance and revolution.

Though the makers have kept most plot elements under wraps, glimpses from the upcoming trailer are expected to blow viewers away, offering a peek into the epic scale and emotional intensity of the narrative.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set to release in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, promising a pan-India cinematic event. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and AM Jyothi Krishna, the film stars Nidhhi Agerwal as Panchami, Bobby Deol as Aurangzeb, and Nargis Fakhri as Roshanara. The soundtrack is composed by the legendary MM Keeravani.

The countdown has begun—and come June 2, fans are in for a power-packed preview of what could be one of the most iconic films in Pawan Kalyan’s illustrious career.

Shashtipoorthi: A Heartfelt Family Drama Set for Release

Share


Shashtipoorthi, a heartwarming family drama, is all set to hit theatres on May 30. The film explores deep-rooted emotions, age-old traditions, and the evolving relationships between generations, promising a touching cinematic experience for audiences of all ages.

The movie features veteran actor Rajendra Prasad in a pivotal role, alongside Archana, Akanksha Singh, and Rupeysh, who not only plays a key character but also produced the film under the Maa Aaie Productions banner. Initially, Rupeysh planned to cast someone else as the son, but after reading the script, he felt a strong emotional connection and decided to take up the role himself. He later shared that stepping into the character as an actor brought him greater creative fulfillment than staying behind the scenes as a producer.

The music is composed by the legendary Ilaiyaraaja, who crafted multiple versions of the songs to suit different emotional tones within the film. Rupeysh expressed his gratitude to Chaitanya Prasad for facilitating this special collaboration with Ilaiyaraaja. The film’s story was written with Rajendra Prasad specifically in mind, ensuring the veteran star had a character that suited his strengths.

Shashtipoorthi blends timeless family values with a tender romantic subplot, adding layers of warmth and relatability. Top-tier talent worked on the project, including acclaimed production designer Thota Tharani, who helped elevate the film’s visual appeal. Promotions are already underway, and audiences can look forward to more exciting updates in the lead-up to the release.

New Visa-Free Entry Options for Indian Tourists Visiting the Philippines Starting May 2025

Share


Starting May 2025, the Philippines is expanding its travel facilitation measures by offering Indian citizens two new visa-free entry options, complementing the existing e-visa system. This initiative, announced by the Embassy of the Philippines in New Delhi, aims to boost tourism from India by providing greater convenience and flexibility for travelers exploring the country’s renowned beaches and islands.

New Visa-Free Entry Categories

14-Day Visa-Free Entry
Indian passport holders can now enter the Philippines for up to 14 days without a visa, exclusively for tourism purposes. This entry option is non-extendable and cannot be converted to other visa types. Travelers can use all major entry points, including airports, seaports, and cruise terminals.
Eligibility requirements include:

Valid passport with at least six months’ validity beyond the stay

Proof of accommodation and return or onward travel tickets

Evidence of sufficient financial means

No prior negative immigration records in the Philippines

30-Day Visa-Free Entry for AJACSSUK Visa/Residency Holders
Indian nationals holding valid visas or permanent residency from Australia, Japan, America, Canada, Schengen countries, Singapore, or the United Kingdom qualify for a 30-day visa-free stay. This option is also strictly for tourism, non-extendable, and requires:

Valid AJACSSUK visa or permanent residency

Passport valid for six months beyond the visit

Confirmed return or onward travel

Clean immigration history in the Philippines

Continued Availability of E-Visa Option

For travelers who do not meet the criteria for visa-free entry, the Philippines’ 9(a) Temporary Visitor Visa remains accessible through the official e-visa portal. This visa allows a 30-day single-entry stay for tourism, subject to standard documentation such as passport, identification, accommodation proof, return ticket, and financial evidence.

These new provisions mark a significant step in enhancing bilateral tourism ties and simplifying travel logistics for Indian tourists seeking to experience the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Philippines.

Google Partners with TSMC for Next-Gen Tensor Chips, Boosting Pixel Performance

Share


Google is set to make a significant strategic pivot in its chipset manufacturing approach by transitioning from Samsung Foundry to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for its upcoming Tensor processors. This change is expected to commence with the Pixel 10 series, scheduled for release in 2025, and could extend through the Pixel 14 lineup by 2029.

According to industry reports from DigiTimes, Google has formalized a long-term partnership with TSMC, underscoring a commitment to elevate the performance and reliability of future Pixel devices. This collaboration involves high-level engagement, with Google executives reportedly visiting TSMC’s facilities in Taiwan to discuss multi-year plans that may also encompass joint development in cloud-based TPU chips, integrated circuit design, server technology, and advanced liquid cooling solutions.

The next-generation Tensor G5 chip, internally codenamed “Laguna,” will leverage TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm N3E fabrication process. This marks a substantial technological upgrade from the 4nm node used for the preceding Tensor G4, which was produced by Samsung. By adopting the 3nm process, Google aims to resolve previous issues related to thermal management, power efficiency, and inconsistent production yields.

The Tensor G5 is anticipated to feature a revamped CPU architecture comprising one high-performance Cortex-X4 core, five mid-tier Cortex-A725 cores, and two energy-efficient Cortex-A520 cores. Complementing this setup will be Google’s proprietary TPU designed to accelerate AI and on-device processing workloads. Additional components likely include an always-on compute (AoC) audio processor, the Google Emerald Hill memory co-processor, Google GXP digital signal processor (DSP), and the Google EdgeTPU. The GPU segment is expected to be powered by Imagination Technologies’ DXT series.

The Pixel 10 series is rumored to include four distinct models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. By shifting production to TSMC, Google aims to ensure more consistent flagship-level performance and improve manufacturing stability. This move also comes as Samsung continues to face yield challenges with its Exynos 2500 chipset.

Overall, this transition marks a critical step for Google to strengthen its competitive stance within the premium smartphone market, while establishing a robust foundation for future hardware innovation across its product ecosystem.

Mahesh Babu’s Next Move: Still a Mystery After SSMB29

Share


Mahesh Babu is truly unmatched when it comes to maintaining suspense around his upcoming projects. Unlike many top stars whose next collaborations are often leaked or officially announced even before their current films wrap, Mahesh plays his cards close to his chest. Ever since director SS Rajamouli delivered back-to-back global blockbusters, fans eagerly waited to see when Mahesh would team up with him. That collaboration, SSMB29, was a dream pairing that finally became a reality, but only after Rajamouli’s previous commitments were completed.

While other stars like Ram Charan, Jr NTR, and Prabhas have a clear lineup—often revealing their next two to three projects even before their current ones are released—Mahesh maintains a calculated silence. Ram Charan, for example, confirmed his next with Buchi Babu (RC16) and Sukumar (RC17) even while Game Changer was still in production. Jr NTR announced his collaboration with Prashanth Neel during Devara’s shoot and already hinted at Devara Part 2 and Dragon. Meanwhile, Prabhas keeps setting one project after another into motion without pause—currently juggling Raja Saab, The Raja Saab, Spirit, and then Kalki 2.

In contrast, Mahesh hasn’t even hinted at who he will work with after SSMB29. No names of directors or production houses have surfaced, which is rare in today’s leak-prone industry. This deliberate mystery has sparked curiosity and admiration alike. While other stars opt for back-to-back announcements to maintain momentum, Mahesh believes in building anticipation the old-fashioned way—through silence and surprise. That suspense factor has now become his unique signature.

Dhanush’s Dream: From Ilaiyaraaja to Rajinikanth Biopics

Share


Kollywood star Dhanush is a true multi-talented force — an acclaimed actor, singer, and director with a solid footprint across Indian cinema. As a pan-India star, Dhanush enjoys a special place, especially in Bollywood, where very few Tamil actors have found the kind of admiration and following he commands today. He is currently the only Kollywood hero actively doing films in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.

Dhanush also stands out as someone who comfortably collaborates on multi-starrers, something not every star is willing to do. Most recently, he bagged a rare opportunity — to portray music maestro Ilaiyaraaja in an upcoming biopic. While many actors were considered, the director felt only Dhanush could do justice to the legendary composer’s role. Dhanush grew up deeply influenced by Ilaiyaraaja’s music and has often referred to him as a guru figure in the industry. Playing his idol in a biopic isn’t just a role — it’s a dream come true for Dhanush.

Speaking about this major milestone, Dhanush revealed another personal dream — to one day act in the biopic of Superstar Rajinikanth. He expressed his desire to portray Rajini if ever given the opportunity, calling it a goal he would pursue wholeheartedly.

For Dhanush, Ilaiyaraaja’s biopic is the fulfillment of one dream. Rajinikanth’s biopic, he says, would be the next. Inspired by Rajini since childhood, Dhanush not only admired him from afar but eventually became a part of his life by marrying Rajinikanth’s daughter, Aishwarya. Though the couple later separated, his respect and admiration for Rajini remain strong.

From idolizing legends to portraying them on screen, Dhanush’s cinematic journey is one of passion, perseverance, and dreams turning into reality.

Pawan Kalyan Lauds TDP’s Mahanadu, Strikes Chord with Cadres

Share


It’s already known that the Janasena Plenary held this March saw strong support from TDP leaders Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh, who praised Pawan Kalyan’s unwavering commitment to public service and graced the occasion with heartfelt speeches.

Now, Pawan Kalyan has reciprocated that respect by extending his full support to the ongoing TDP Mahanadu event. His recent words of praise for this landmark political gathering have resonated with party supporters and are making waves on social media.

“Whenever I hear or read the word ‘Mahanadu’, the Telugu Desam Party immediately comes to mind. It has become an emotional tradition that lives in the hearts of Telugu people,” Kalyan remarked, highlighting the cultural and political significance of the event.


He also appreciated the themes selected for discussion at this year’s three-day Mahanadu, emphasizing their relevance to public welfare. “It is commendable that this Mahanadu is focusing on crucial topics such as grassroots leadership, youth empowerment, women’s strength, social justice, uplifting the poor, and safeguarding livelihoods. This reflects the party’s sincere commitment to people-centric governance.”

Pawan Kalyan’s message has gone viral, receiving warm appreciation from TDP followers. His timely acknowledgment is being seen as another strong step toward the growing alliance and shared vision between Janasena and TDP.

Dhanush Hails Nagarjuna’s Legacy in Kuberaa

Share


Tamil superstar Dhanush is all praise for Telugu veteran Nagarjuna, as the two come together for their upcoming film Kuberaa. Dhanush, who rarely gushes publicly, couldn’t hide his admiration during a recent interview in Tamil Nadu, calling it a proud and unforgettable moment to share screen space with the legendary actor.

“I’ve been a fan of Nagarjuna sir for many years,” Dhanush said. “His presence on screen, his humility off it—he’s truly inspiring. I especially remember Ratchagan—it left a lasting impact on me.”

Reflecting on their time on set, Dhanush said he learned a lot just by observing Nagarjuna. “Working with him was a learning experience. I admire the grace and intensity he brings to every role. I hope to follow in his footsteps as I grow as an actor,” he added.

The chemistry between Dhanush and Nagarjuna has already made Kuberaa one of the most anticipated films in Tamil and Telugu cinema this year. Set for release on June 20, the film is expected to deliver a unique cinematic experience. With promotional content lined up, fans are eagerly counting down the days to witness this rare pairing on the big screen.

Deepika Padukone’s Bold Exit from Spirit: A Stand, Not a Setback

Share


When Deepika Padukone opted out of Spirit — a high-profile project starring Prabhas and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga — it wasn’t just a casting change, it became a headline that reignited a larger conversation in Bollywood: the cost of standing firm on principles.

This isn’t new for Deepika. Her career is marked by fearless choices. She’s never shied away from saying no — especially when fairness is on the line. In fact, she once turned down a film because her male co-star was being paid significantly more. “I know my worth,” she declared, and she meant it. That moment became more than a quote — it became a stance.

Her list of declined blockbusters is impressive: Gangubai Kathiawadi, Rockstar, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Fast & Furious 7, Dhoom 3, Roy, Sultan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Each one a hit, each one a conscious decision. Sometimes it was scheduling conflicts, other times it was creative integrity. But never fear. And never regret.

Far from hurting her career, these decisions have reinforced Deepika’s identity as a woman who prioritizes respect, equality, and impactful roles over box office numbers. She’s not chasing stardom — she’s defining it on her own terms.

In an industry still grappling with empowered female voices, Deepika remains a rare force — unafraid to say no, unafraid to walk away, and never compromising her core values. With or without Spirit, she’s not stepping back — she’s standing tall.
