Hari Hara Veera Mallu Grand Press Meet LIVE | Pawan Kalyan | MM Keeravani | Jyothi Krisna
Pawan Kalyan Drops ‘Asura Hananam’ from Hari Hara Veera Mallu
Power star Pawan Kalyan is actively promoting his upcoming magnum opus Hari Hara Veera Mallu. As part of the film’s musical campaign, he recently met with Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani, and the video of their interaction has gone viral across social media platforms.
The meeting coincided with the announcement of the film’s third single, Asura Hananam, which was officially released today. While fans had high expectations for a thumping mass anthem, the song leans more towards an intense background score designed to heighten the war scenes rather than a standalone high-energy number. Though it builds a dramatic atmosphere with its grand orchestration and spiritual undertones, fans felt it lacked the punch typically associated with Pawan Kalyan’s mass songs.
Asura Hananam opens with Sanskrit verses and transitions into powerful Telugu lyrics that evoke the spirit of battle and valor. The track is rendered by a talented lineup of vocalists—Airaa Udupi, Kaala Bhairava, Sai Charan Bhaskaruni, Lokeshwar Edara, and Hymath Mohammed. The lyrics are penned by Rambabu Gosala.
While the audio may not have fully met fans’ expectations, the visuals—featuring Pawan Kalyan in full warrior mode—are anticipated to bring a whole new energy when the video version is released. The film stars Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead and is directed by Krish Jagarlamudi along with Jyothi Krisna. Produced by AM Ratnam, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is gearing up for a pan-India release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Janhvi Kapoor Gears Up to Dance with Ram Charan in PEDDI
Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor is all set to showcase her dancing prowess in the much-awaited film PEDDI, where she will share screen space with Tollywood star Ram Charan. Known for his electrifying dance moves, Ram Charan is considered one of the best dancers in Indian cinema—making this upcoming number a real challenge and opportunity for Janhvi.
According to sources, Janhvi recently completed a brief shooting schedule before flying to France to attend the 78th Cannes Film Festival. “She had three working days after May 15 before flying to Cannes,” said a source. “She is expected to return to the set by the end of May, with a high-energy romantic dance number slated for the first week of June.”
The song, composed by legendary music director A.R. Rahman, is expected to be a visual and musical treat. Janhvi is reportedly undergoing intense rehearsals to match the pace and energy of Ram Charan. “Though she has previously featured in dance numbers in Bollywood and made an impression in Devara with Jr. NTR, this song will be a real test of her skills,” the source added.
Meanwhile, Janhvi made her debut at Cannes in style, wearing a blush pink couture lehenga by Tarun Tahiliani. The Banaras-handcrafted ensemble, featuring a sculpted modern design paired with a traditional ghungat, was widely praised as a graceful tribute to her mother, the late legendary actress Sridevi.
With a powerhouse team of talent and a chart-topping track in the making, the upcoming PEDDI number is set to become a highlight in Janhvi’s career and a treat for fans of Indian cinema.
Nayanthara Breaks Records with ₹10 Crore Telugu Film Deal
Nayanthara has once again demonstrated her immense star power by reportedly securing a staggering ₹10 crore fee for her upcoming Telugu film, a figure that far surpasses the typical pay of leading Tollywood actresses like Anushka Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah, Shruti Haasan, and Rashmika Mandanna, who generally earn between ₹3 and ₹5 crore per film.
“She’s being paid ₹10 crore for her comeback Telugu project,” reveals a celebrity manager. “This makes her the first actress in Telugu cinema to cross the double-digit salary mark, setting a new industry benchmark.”
A significant factor behind this record-breaking remuneration is her co-starring role alongside megastar Chiranjeevi in what is shaping up to be one of the most lavish productions in Tollywood history. “Nayanthara has consistently managed her career with great wisdom, balancing popularity with market value. For female-centric films with strong narratives, she typically charges ₹2 to ₹3 crore. However, her fee rises substantially when paired with top-tier stars—she was paid ₹8 crore for her role opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan,” the manager adds.
Over the years, Nayanthara has cultivated a loyal fan base among Telugu audiences with blockbuster hits like Simha and Legend alongside Balakrishna, and has shared screen space with legendary actors like Venkatesh and Nagarjuna. Known for her selective approach to Telugu projects, she favors commercially viable films that offer substantial and meaningful roles.
With this groundbreaking deal, Nayanthara has firmly established herself as one of the highest-paid and most influential actresses in the Telugu film industry.

Arya 3 in the Works Without Allu Arjun and Sukumar?
There’s no denying that Arya is one of the most iconic love story duologies in Telugu cinema. The magic that director Sukumar and star Allu Arjun created with Arya nearly two decades ago continues to resonate with fans even today. Its sequel, Arya 2, though equally impactful in content and style, fell short commercially due to the timing of its release during the Telangana movement.
Now, there’s an exciting development that has stirred curiosity among Tollywood fans—reports suggest that Arya 3 is officially in the pipeline and could go into production sooner than expected.
However, there seems to be some confusion surrounding the core team. Both Sukumar and Allu Arjun are currently tied up with the much-anticipated Pushpa 3, which already has significant expectations and momentum in the market. Given their current commitments and the mass-action genre wave surrounding them, a return to the romantic world of Arya doesn’t seem likely at this moment.
Enter Dil Raju, the producer who holds the rights to the Arya franchise. Industry sources suggest that he is exploring the idea of reviving the story with a fresh cast, possibly involving young and emerging talents. Talks are reportedly progressing, and an official announcement might not be too far off.
While fans may initially be surprised by the absence of the original duo, the idea of continuing the legacy of one of Tollywood’s most cherished romantic franchises is generating buzz. All eyes are now on how Arya 3 shapes up and who steps into the spotlight this time.
Nani’s Childhood Photo with Sister Deepti Goes Viral on Her Birthday
Natural Star Nani, fresh off the massive success of Hit 3, which stormed past the ₹100 crore mark, is once again making headlines—this time for a more personal and touching reason. The actor recently shared a rare childhood photo that quickly went viral, giving fans a glimpse into his life off-screen.
The occasion? A heartfelt birthday tribute to his sister, Deepti Ganta. While fans often celebrate Nani’s acting prowess and box office hits, this photo highlighted the deep sibling bond that has quietly shaped his journey.
Deepti Ganta isn’t just Nani’s sister—she’s a creative force in her own right. She co-produced the critically acclaimed film Court and has directed projects like Meet Cute and Anaganaga Oka Nanna. Her behind-the-scenes support has been instrumental in Nani’s career, especially in nurturing the Hit franchise and encouraging fresh storytelling through their production house.
Nani’s birthday message to Deepti, filled with affection and gratitude, read: “Happy birthday to my sister. I can’t wait to celebrate these celebrations.” The post struck a chord with fans, not just for the nostalgia, but for showcasing the strong family values that anchor Nani’s life.
In an industry often focused on glamour and fame, Nani continues to stand out—not only for his talent but for the emotional integrity and relationships that fuel his journey.
Chandrababu Naidu’s Delhi Visit Sparks Speculation on Legal Action Against YS Jagan
Andhra Pradesh politics is heating up as Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu prepares for a crucial visit to Delhi. According to insiders, this trip could be far more significant than a routine political engagement. Reports suggest that Naidu plans to hold a high-level meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, with discussions likely to focus on the controversial liquor scam linked to the previous government led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The new coalition government has launched a rigorous investigation into the liquor scandal, which allegedly flourished during Jagan’s tenure. Over recent weeks, several close aides of the former Chief Minister have been arrested, signaling a deepening probe. Now, political observers are watching closely as attention turns to Jagan himself.
Sources indicate that Chandrababu’s Delhi visit is part of a strategic move to seek the central government’s approval for taking stringent legal action against Jagan. This step could mark a significant escalation in the ongoing political and legal battle in Andhra Pradesh.
In a related development, Naidu has reportedly advised his cabinet ministers to refrain from making public comments about the liquor scam, likely to maintain discretion and control ahead of a decisive move.
If the speculation holds true, this could signal the start of serious legal challenges for YS Jagan, with Chandrababu Naidu methodically laying the groundwork for what may become a defining chapter in Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape.
