Shiva Saga: The Rise of Divine Themes in Telugu Cinema

Share


Mythological and socio-fantasy films are gaining significant traction in Indian cinema, particularly in the Telugu film industry. A noticeable trend is the growing number of films centered around Lord Shiva, either as a central figure or as a strong thematic influence. Among the most talked-about upcoming films is Kannappa, starring Manchu Vishnu in the lead role. This film narrates the story of Bhakta Kannappa, a revered devotee of Lord Shiva, and features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Mohan Babu, Madhoo, and Preity Mukundan. The movie is set for a grand release on June 27 and is expected to be a visual and emotional spectacle.

Another highly anticipated film is Akhanda 2, which marks the return of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu after their massive success with Akhanda. In the sequel, Balakrishna reprises his powerful role as an Aghora, a fierce devotee of Lord Shiva. The film is expected to delve deeper into mythological elements and amplify the divine aura that made the first part a blockbuster.

Sudheer Babu is also stepping into the world of mystery and mythology with a new supernatural thriller that recently went on floors. While details are still under wraps, sources suggest that Lord Shiva will play a key thematic role in the storyline, blending suspense with spirituality.

Meanwhile, Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’s Haindhava is said to revolve around themes of righteousness and devotion, with Lord Shiva’s presence subtly influencing the narrative. Similarly, Aravind Krishna’s A Masterpiece is another intriguing project that integrates Shiva’s essence into its core plot, aiming to connect modern storytelling with mythological depth.

These projects highlight a renewed fascination with spiritual and divine storytelling, signaling a strong resurgence of Lord Shiva’s influence in contemporary Telugu cinema.

Karthik Subbaraj’s Telugu Test with Retro

Share


Karthik Subbaraj is widely regarded as one of the most innovative filmmakers in Tamil cinema. His signature style—rooted in western influences, stylized filmmaking, and layered storytelling—has earned him critical acclaim. However, when it comes to the Telugu film market, his track record tells a different story.

Except for Pizza, which managed to find an audience, most of Subbaraj’s films, like Petta and Jigarthanda Double X, failed to strike a chord with Telugu viewers. Even though Mahaan resonated with youth and mass audiences to some extent, the filmmaker still hasn’t had a consistent breakthrough in the Telugu market.

Now, all eyes are on his upcoming film Retro, starring Suriya in the lead role. While Suriya’s presence adds star value and has the potential to draw initial crowds, the concern in Telugu trade circles revolves more around Karthik Subbaraj’s inconsistent form than Suriya’s box office appeal.

The recently released trailer for Retro was well-received in Tamil Nadu, but the Telugu audience didn’t seem equally impressed. The filmmaking style, dialogues, and overall vibe of the trailer didn’t resonate the way one would hope. As a result, the film is now heavily reliant on Suriya’s stardom and strong word-of-mouth to perform well in Telugu states.

The challenge is even greater with Retro clashing with Nani’s much-anticipated HIT 3, which already has solid buzz and a loyal fanbase. For Retro to succeed, it must overcome the stylistic disconnect and deliver a story that emotionally engages Telugu audiences.

Keerthy Suresh Teams Up with Suriya for Maruti Biopic ‘796 CC’

Share


After the lukewarm response to her Bollywood debut Baby John, National Award-winning actress Keerthy Suresh is gearing up for a powerful comeback — and this time, it’s with a high-profile bilingual film alongside Tamil superstar Suriya.

Directed by Venky Atluri of Lucky Bhaskar fame, the film is shaping up to be a unique biopic titled 796 CC, a nod to the iconic Indian car brand Maruti. The project promises to trace the inspiring journey behind one of India’s most beloved automobiles, and it’s already sparking nostalgia and excitement among fans.

Produced on a grand scale by Sithara Entertainments, the film is expected to go on floors in the second week of May. Though several names were considered for the female lead, sources confirm that Keerthy Suresh is the top choice and is almost finalized for the role.

What makes 796 CC particularly exciting is the pairing of Suriya and Keerthy — both celebrated for their impactful performances and screen charisma. For Keerthy, the project marks a major step toward reclaiming her dominance in South Indian cinema after her Bollywood stint.

In addition to this venture, Keerthy has a strong Tamil lineup ahead, including the intriguing titles Revolver Rita and Kannivedi. With a blend of ambitious, genre-defying roles, she seems poised to chart a fresh chapter in her cinematic journey.

Will Smith in Allu Arjun’s Next? Atlee Eyes Global Casting

Share


Indian cinema’s growing love for Hollywood collaborations is scaling new heights, and the latest buzz could be the biggest yet. After Prithviraj Sukumaran roped in Game of Thrones star Jerome Flynn for L2: Empuraan and S.S. Rajamouli cast Rome actor Ray Stevenson in RRR, all eyes are now on director Atlee’s next ambitious project.

The spotlight is on Allu Arjun’s upcoming film—tentatively titled AA22 x A6—which will mark the superstar’s 22nd outing and Atlee’s sixth directorial venture. Backed by Sun Pictures with a colossal budget, the film is poised to be a game-changer in the pan-India space. With heavy visual effects and high production values, the makers recently teased fans with a behind-the-scenes glimpse from a premier VFX studio, stirring excitement across social media.

The real jaw-dropper? Oscar-winner Will Smith is reportedly being considered for a pivotal role in the film. Known worldwide for hits like Men in Black, Ali, and The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith hasn’t appeared in many global collaborations of late. If this casting goes through, it could mark a groundbreaking moment in Indian cinema’s journey toward global storytelling.

Sources suggest that Smith, now 56, is being approached for a specially crafted role that would bring international flair to the high-octane action script being developed by Atlee. Though no official confirmation has been made, the mere possibility of his involvement has set the internet abuzz.

Whether or not this dream casting materializes, one thing is certain—Indian cinema’s global aspirations are no longer a distant dream. The lines between industries are fading, and audiences are more ready than ever for a true East-meets-West cinematic experience.

Naidu & Chiranjeevi Unite for ‘Mindset Shift’ Launch in Vijayawada

Share


In a notable gathering at Vijayawada today, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Megastar Chiranjeevi came together to grace the launch event of ‘Mindset Shift’, a book authored by Sharani Ponguru. The event turned into a memorable celebration of mutual respect and admiration between two towering personalities from politics and cinema.

Speaking at the occasion, Chiranjeevi reflected on the influential role that Chandrababu Naidu played in shaping his own journey as a leader. “From his college days, Chandrababu Garu exhibited strong leadership traits. His dedication to public welfare and his relentless pursuit of state development were truly inspiring. Just as I pursued cinema with passion, he pursued politics with equal intensity. His vision and hard work transformed Hyderabad into a global IT hub. He is not just a leader, but a pioneer in Indian politics,” Chiranjeevi said.

He credited Naidu’s visionary leadership for contributing to his own growth, acknowledging how Naidu made use of every opportunity to rise through the ranks and set new benchmarks in governance and innovation.

Responding with equal warmth, Chandrababu Naidu lauded Chiranjeevi for his commitment to social causes. “I’ve known him since my tenure as Chief Minister. Unlike many in the film industry, he consistently puts people first. He has noble intentions and a genuine desire to serve society. Establishing a blood bank and actively participating in philanthropic initiatives speaks volumes about his character. I deeply admire him,” Naidu remarked.

The event not only marked the launch of an inspiring book but also served as a testament to the mutual respect between two iconic figures who have left indelible marks in their respective fields.

Pavail Gulatie’s SRK Admiration: A Graduate of the ‘Shah Rukh School of Chivalry’

Share


Actor Pavail Gulati, known for his impactful performances in Thappad and Deva, has emerged as one of Bollywood’s most promising talents. However, beneath his on-screen intensity lies a deep admiration for the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan.​

In a recent interview, Pavail revealed that he considers himself a “graduate from the Shah Rukh School of Chivalry.” He fondly recalls growing up in the ’90s, watching SRK’s films and interviews, and being inspired by his off-screen grace and respect towards others. Pavail shared, “He wasn’t just a movie star; he was someone to look up to, even off-screen.” He also mentioned that if he ever spots SRK from a distance, he might feel compelled to run away—not out of disinterest, but because of the overwhelming presence of his idol. ​

When asked about his favorite SRK film, Pavail chose Yes Boss, a 1997 romantic comedy. He reminisced about dancing to its songs as a child and even buying multiple cassettes of the film. For him, Yes Boss holds a special place in his heart, representing the magic of his youth. ​

Professionally, Pavail continues to make significant strides in the industry. After his notable role in Thappad, he starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in the action-packed drama Deva, where he performed his own stunts, embracing the physical challenges of the role. ​

Pavail’s journey from a Bollywood enthusiast to a respected actor serves as a testament to his dedication and passion for cinema. His story is a beautiful reminder that the heroes we admire can inspire us to achieve our own dreams.​
