Share


Music sensation Anirudh Ravichander shows no signs of slowing down. Over the past few years, he has become one of the most sought-after composers in Indian cinema, consistently delivering chartbuster albums and powerful background scores across multiple film industries.

According to the latest industry buzz, Anirudh has reportedly signed the much-anticipated project #AA23, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Reports suggest that the composer has been paid a massive ₹25 crore for the film. If the reports turn out to be true, this would make Anirudh the highest-paid music composer in India.

Anirudh’s popularity has been growing rapidly with every successful project. His recent work for Coolie generated significant buzz among fans and music lovers. At the same time, he is also composing music for The Paradise starring Nani, along with another highly anticipated project that will reportedly bring together legendary stars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.

Despite working on several major films, the Allu Arjun–Lokesh Kanagaraj collaboration is being seen as a major milestone in Anirudh’s career. With a massive paycheck and an impressive lineup of high-profile projects, Anirudh Ravichander continues to dominate the music scene and strengthen his position as one of the leading composers in Indian cinema today.

Share


The much-awaited trailer of Dhurandhar 2 has finally been unveiled, and it has quickly created a huge buzz across social media. Packed with intense visuals and high-octane action sequences, the trailer has significantly raised expectations among fans. The growing excitement around the film is also visible in its advance bookings, which are reportedly off to a record-breaking start.

One of the major discussions surrounding the sequel was the absence of Akshaye Khanna, whose performance played a key role in the success of the first part. In the climax of Dhurandhar, his character dies, leaving many fans disappointed as they hoped he might return in the sequel.

However, with the release of the trailer, the focus has completely shifted to Ranveer Singh, who plays the powerful character Hamza. Ranveer’s intense screen presence, impactful dialogue delivery, and energetic action sequences have impressed viewers and generated massive hype around his role.

Many fans now believe that Ranveer has taken the franchise forward with a commanding performance. While Akshaye Khanna’s role in the first film remains memorable, the sequel appears to revolve around Hamza’s larger-than-life character.

With strong pre-release buzz and impressive advance bookings, all eyes are now on whether Ranveer Singh can recreate the same magic at the box office and deliver another blockbuster for the franchise. Dhurandhar 2 is set to hit theatres on March 19, 2026.

Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, president of the YSR Congress Party, recently visited the undivided Visakhapatnam district. During his tour, he attended wedding ceremonies at the residences of several party leaders and interacted with local cadres.

On this occasion, Jagan held detailed discussions with key leaders regarding the current political situation and the organisational strength of the party in the district. He advised them to focus on strengthening the party structure at the grassroots level and emphasised that party posts should be given to those workers who are actively contributing to the party’s growth.

Jagan reportedly made it clear that leaders who work sincerely for the party will be given priority and recognition. He also pointed out that the next three years will be crucial for the party’s future and asked leaders to remain committed and proactive.

During the interaction, Jagan urged constituency-level leaders and party workers to reach out to people more actively and highlight what he described as the failures of the coalition government. According to sources, he expressed confidence that public support for the YSRCP is gradually increasing while dissatisfaction with the ruling coalition is also growing.

Therefore, he called on party leaders and cadres to strengthen their connection with people at the grassroots level. Jagan also voiced strong confidence that the YSRCP would return to power in the next elections.

Party sources say that his remarks have boosted the morale of workers. Leaders believe that if the directions given by the party leadership are implemented effectively, the YSRCP can regain its earlier strength in the North Andhra region.

Sangeeth Shobhan Makes Honest Confession About Mad Square

Share


Mad emerged as one of the successful youthful entertainers in recent Telugu cinema, quickly gaining a strong fan following. Riding on the film’s success, the makers soon moved ahead with its sequel, Mad Square. However, one of the film’s lead actors recently made an interesting revelation about the sequel.

Actor Sangeeth Shobhan, who played a key role in the first film, shared in a recent interview that if given another chance, he might have approached the sequel differently. Speaking during the promotions of Rakasa, he admitted that the team made Mad Square in a bit of a hurry.

According to Sangeeth, after the success of Mad, the team had gone to Goa to relax and celebrate. During that trip, they casually discussed a few ideas which later turned into the storyline for the sequel. Director Kalyan Shankar eventually pitched the concept to producer Naga Vamsi, who quickly encouraged the team to develop it into a full-fledged film.

Sangeeth explained that while the film is not bad, the decision to make the sequel was somewhat impulsive. He mentioned that although producer Naga Vamsi’s enthusiasm and courage played a major role in bringing the project to life, the team might have taken a different approach if they had more time.

Interestingly, Naga Vamsi himself had earlier acknowledged that the sequel was produced quickly and that the team could have benefited from more time during the development stage. Despite that, Mad Square managed to attract a section of the audience who even liked it more than the original film.

Many fans on social media still discuss the rapid production of the sequel and whether additional time could have improved the film further. Given director Kalyan Shankar’s reputation as a talented writer and filmmaker, there is a belief that the sequel might have turned out even better with more preparation.

Nevertheless, Mad Square performed decently at the box office, successfully capitalizing on the strong popularity and hype created by the first film. The experience may also serve as a valuable lesson for the team moving forward, ensuring that future projects receive the time and planning they deserve.

Revanth Reddy to Inaugurate Allu Cinemas in Hyderabad

Share


A major milestone for the Allu family’s exhibition business is set to take place in Hyderabad, as the much-awaited Allu Cinemas property is gearing up for its launch in Kokapet on March 12, 2026. The new premium theatre is expected to emerge as one of the most advanced cinema screens in the city.

The grand inauguration will be carried out by A. Revanth Reddy, adding political significance to the event. Stylish star Allu Arjun and several members of the Allu family are also expected to attend the ceremony.

Following the formal launch, the theatre will begin technical test runs, during which a few selected films will be screened to ensure that the sound and projection systems function perfectly. One of the films likely to be screened during this testing phase is F1. After these trial screenings, the theatre is expected to have its grand public opening on the festive occasion of Ugadi on March 19.

The event has also drawn attention because of the evolving equation between Allu Arjun and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Their rapport appears to have strengthened in recent months, particularly after the controversies surrounding the release of Pushpa: The Rule, when the government had taken strict measures following a stampede incident during the film’s release phase.

Recently, both were seen sharing a warm moment during the wedding celebrations of Allu Sirish, which sparked discussions among fans and political observers across social media.

Now, with Revanth Reddy set to inaugurate the prestigious Allu Dolby Cinemas in Kokapet, the collaboration between the film industry and the state leadership appears to be entering a more positive phase.

Share


The makers of The Black Gold have unveiled a striking new poster featuring actress Samyuktha on the occasion of International Women’s Day, offering a powerful glimpse into the film’s intense action backdrop.

The newly released poster showcases Samyuktha in a fierce and commanding avatar, standing in the middle of a dangerous mining landscape that reflects strength, courage, and resilience. Holding a rifle with a determined look, she appears ready to confront any challenge that comes her way.

Her face and arms are covered with dust and visible injuries, suggesting she has already gone through a brutal fight. Dressed in rugged attire, Samyuktha perfectly matches the gritty and raw tone of the film.

Adding to the dramatic atmosphere, a massive explosion can be seen in the background, with flames and debris flying through the air. The visual intensifies the action-packed feel and hints at the high-stakes narrative the film promises to deliver.

The tagline, “She Believes in the Law, Not the Gun!”, suggests that the story will revolve around justice, determination, and a powerful internal conflict between duty and violence.

Produced by Razesh Danda and directed by Yogesh KMC, the film is currently in the final stages of shooting and is aiming for a Summer 2026 theatrical release.

With its strong premise and action-driven narrative, The Black Gold is expected to deliver an intense drama centered around a powerful female protagonist.

Kamal Haasan Slams US Remarks on India’s Oil Purchases

Share


Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has strongly criticised remarks from the United States suggesting that India had been “given permission” to purchase Russian oil.

Responding to the controversy, the Rajya Sabha MP and leader of Makkal Needhi Maiam stated that India is a sovereign nation and does not take instructions from any foreign country.

In a post on X addressing Donald Trump, Haasan wrote that the people of India belong to a free and sovereign nation and no longer take orders from distant foreign shores. He also asked the former US President to mind his own business, stressing that mutual respect between sovereign nations is the only foundation for lasting global peace. Haasan further wished peace and prosperity for the United States and its citizens.

The controversy began after comments made by Scott Bessent, who stated that Washington had temporarily allowed India to buy Russian oil after the Middle East conflict disrupted global supply chains.

In an interview with Fox Business, Bessent reportedly said that India had earlier been asked to stop purchasing sanctioned Russian oil and had complied. According to him, the US later permitted India to resume purchases for a limited period to help ease pressure on global oil supplies.

When asked about the issue, Donald Trump reportedly suggested that easing restrictions could help stabilise the global oil market and reduce supply pressure.

Meanwhile, the Indian government maintained that the country’s energy supplies remain secure despite tensions in the Middle East. Officials highlighted that India has diversified its crude oil imports from 27 to nearly 40 countries and continues to purchase oil based on competitive prices in the national interest.

The remarks have also triggered political reactions within India. Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha from the Indian National Congress, criticised the government, stating that India’s foreign policy should reflect the collective will of its people and remain rooted in the country’s history and values.

Priyanka Mohan Alleges Negative Campaign Against Her

Share


Actress Priyanka Mohan may not be counted among the top-tier stars in the industry, nor does she come from a strong political or film background. Yet, the actress has reportedly been facing a negative campaign on social media.

In a recent YouTube interview, Priyanka Mohan herself acknowledged that a targeted campaign had been noticed against her online. The actress, however, chose not to reveal the names of the individuals involved.

She hinted that the source of the campaign could possibly be someone from Chennai. While it is still unclear who is behind it, speculation suggests that it could involve someone from the film industry, a PRO, or even a talent management agency.

Priyanka Mohan also agreed that there appeared to be a paid campaign targeting her on social media platforms, although no concrete details have been revealed so far.

On the professional front, Priyanka Mohan was last seen in Telugu alongside Pawan Kalyan in the blockbuster film OG. As of now, the actress has not officially signed another major Telugu project.

From ₹56 Cr to ₹450 Cr: Pawan Kalyan’s Wealth Growth

Share


Tollywood star and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan was already financially well-established even before entering active politics. In fact, the actor-turned-politician had once revealed that he had paid nearly ₹60 crore as income tax during his film career.

To understand how his wealth has grown over the years, it is useful to look at the details declared in his election affidavits. During the 2019 elections, Pawan Kalyan informed the Election Commission that his total assets were worth around ₹56 crore.

In the same affidavit, he also declared liabilities of over ₹3 crore. These included advances he had received from film producers for projects that were yet to be completed at the time.

By the time of the 2024 elections, the numbers had changed significantly. In his updated affidavit, Pawan Kalyan declared total assets worth about ₹164.5 crore, indicating that his wealth had almost tripled within five years.

However, his liabilities also increased during this period. According to the affidavit, he had debts amounting to around ₹65.76 crore.

Later, a report by CNBC estimated that Pawan Kalyan’s overall wealth had grown even further. In a report released towards the end of 2025, the channel valued his total assets at approximately ₹450 crore. A large portion of this wealth is believed to have come from his long and successful career in the Telugu film industry.

Meanwhile, despite being active in politics, Pawan Kalyan continues to complete his pending film commitments. He is currently busy with the dubbing work of his upcoming film Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

After the film releases in theatres, he is expected to begin another project under the direction of Surender Reddy. Reports suggest that the actor had already received an advance for this project several years ago.

Huge Crowd Greets Jr NTR in Bengaluru, “CM NTR” Slogans Heard

Share


The slogan “CM NTR” is not unfamiliar to the public. In the past, especially during election seasons, fans often raised slogans like “CM NTR” and displayed cutouts of N. T. Rama Rao Jr. whenever N. Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh visited different places. However, the same slogans being heard in Bengaluru recently surprised many.

Jr NTR visited Bengaluru to attend the inauguration of a hospital. From the moment he landed at the airport, a massive crowd of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. Thousands of admirers thronged the venue, creating an overwhelming atmosphere.

Near the hospital premises, the situation became difficult to manage as even the police struggled to control the crowd. At one point, enthusiastic fans reportedly pushed their way into the hospital building. Due to the heavy rush, a newly installed escalator in the hospital is said to have malfunctioned, while some furniture in the reception area was also damaged during the chaos.

Despite the situation, Jr NTR successfully completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony. When he came outside, fans welcomed him with loud cheers and chants. Slogans urging him to become the Chief Minister were repeatedly heard from the gathered crowd.

For many years, Jr NTR has maintained a clear distance from active politics and political statements. He has also largely stayed away from involvement with both the Nara and Nandamuri families in political matters. Nevertheless, a section of his fans continues to see him as a potential political leader and frequently expresses their wish for him to enter politics.

On the professional front, Jr NTR is currently working on a film tentatively titled Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel. After completing this project, he is expected to begin work either on the sequel to Devara: Part 1 or another project reportedly titled God of War.

Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently grabbed attention after a video of her dancing with husband Abhishek Bachchan at a wedding function in Mumbai went viral on social media. What made the moment even more interesting was that the couple was seen grooving to the title track from Salaam‑e‑Ishq (2007), a film that starred Aishwarya’s former partner Salman Khan.

They were seen smiling and posing for photographers before entering the venue.

The celebration also saw the presence of several prominent guests, including Nita Ambani, who joined the couple on stage along with other family members and friends.

Aishwarya and Salman were once considered one of Bollywood’s most popular couples before they eventually parted ways. Later, Aishwarya found love again with her Guru co-star Abhishek Bachchan. The couple got engaged on January 14, 2007, and tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony.

The duo welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan on November 16, 2011. Interestingly, the wedding event also turned into a rare family moment as Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were also present. It was after a long time that the entire Bachchan family was seen making a public appearance together.
