Sharwa’s Biker Unveils High-Octane Track Ziddi Ziddi
Charming star Sharwa is all set to thrill audiences with his upcoming sports and family drama Biker, slated for a theatrical release on April 3. Touted as India’s first motocross-based film, Biker promises an adrenaline-fueled spectacle on the big screen.
Directed by Abhilash Kanka under the UV Creations banner, the film features music composed by Ghibran. To mark Sharwa’s birthday, the makers unveiled a new track from the album titled Ziddi Ziddi.
The electrifying number serves as a powerful, inspiring anthem. Composed and sung by Ghibran, the song also features energetic vocals by Shenbagaraj, Aravind Srinivas, and Sudharsan Ram, with lyrics penned by Krishna Kanth.
The track visually showcases Sharwa’s transformation into a motorcycle racer—from running across vast landscapes to intense physical training—highlighting his determination and perseverance. Rajasekhar appears as a mentor, guiding him through the journey. In the closing moments, Sharwa reaches his destination, while Rajasekhar silently walks away after glancing at the stopwatch, leaving the scene open to interpretation.
Ziddi Ziddi is expected to serve as the film’s theme during high-octane motorcycle sequences, promising to make a strong impact on the audience and heighten the thrill of the narrative.
Chiranjeevi’s Next Movie: Thaman to Compose, Announcement by Ugadi
The upcoming film starring megastar Chiranjeevi, possibly alongside Priyamani, is directed by KS Bobby and has been creating buzz for quite some time. The movie is being bankrolled by KVN Productions, the same studio behind Yash’s Toxic. Earlier, there were rumors that Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman would score the music for the film.
After the songs of Ram Charan’s Peddi went viral, many expected Chiranjeevi to also collaborate with the same composer. In recent times, Telugu composers like Thaman, Devi Sri Prasad, and Bheems have delivered occasional hit albums, and Chiranjeevi’s previous films also reflect this trend.
However, reports now suggest that SS Thaman has been chosen over AR Rahman due to timing and budget constraints.
Initially, the film was expected to be officially announced in February, but changes in the script and budget planning delayed the muhurat event. If reports are accurate, the film may finally be announced by Ugadi on March 19.
Yami Gautam Clarifies After Liking Viral Kriti Sanon Reel
At a recent award function, Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon won the Best Actress award for her performance in Tere Ishq Mein. However, fans who watched Haq on Netflix felt that Yami Gautam was a stronger contender for the honor. An Instagram reel highlighting this opinion, which criticized Kriti, soon went viral.
What caught everyone’s attention was that Yami Gautam herself had liked the reel, sparking speculation that she was upset with the awards committee. Media outlets quickly picked up the story, suggesting that Yami might be expressing her disagreement with the decision.
Clarifying the situation, Yami explained that she had liked the reel accidentally and was not consciously aware of it. The Article 370 actress emphasized that she does not have a PR team and does not indulge in publicity stunts. She reaffirmed her earlier stance that Bollywood awards can be biased and hand-managed, and that she prefers letting her work speak for itself.
Yami Gautam’s full statement read:
“It has come to my notice that I apparently ‘liked’ a reel that is condescending toward another actor. We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award-function reference like any other tag. It isn’t true and was definitely not done consciously; if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally. Never in my life have I resorted to cheap PR tactics. I have always focused on my work and moved on. In the world of clickbait, it’s tempting for even dignified social media portals to harp on this and turn it into coffee-table gossip. But I would hope they would consider that I have earned a better reputation than that.”
Trisha Krishnan Engagement Rumours Go Viral
Tamil cinema fans were abuzz last night after actor-politician Vijay and actress Trisha Krishnan made a public appearance together. However, social media chatter took a new turn when an old photograph of Trisha resurfaced, fueling rumours about her personal life.

The viral discussion gained momentum with congratulatory posts addressed to “Trisha and Varun,” despite no official confirmation from Trisha or her team. It remains unclear whether the photo is recent, a glimpse from a past personal event, or simply being misinterpreted online.
This renewed attention comes at a time when Trisha continues to be active in films and public events. Fans are now eagerly awaiting clarification from the actress herself regarding the engagement rumours.

Chandrababu Naidu Proposes ₹25,000 Incentive for Third Child
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has expressed concern over India’s population trends and proposed a proactive measure to address it. He suggested providing financial assistance of ₹25,000 to couples after the birth of their third child, with an additional ₹25,000 for each subsequent child.
However, the proposal has drawn criticism from the Congress party. Speaking in Parliament, Manickam Tagore questioned the rationale behind encouraging population growth in a country that is already the most populous in the world. “India is already the most populated country, and it will remain that way for decades. So there is no point in running after increasing population,” Tagore said. He emphasized the importance of quality over quantity, adding, “At a time when AI is dictating terms, it is crucial that we focus on preparing the population for future technologies rather than incentivizing higher birth rates.”
While Chandrababu Naidu argues that Andhra Pradesh should maintain at least a 5 crore population to remain substantial, Congress appears to prioritize population quality and technological readiness over sheer numbers.
Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani: Sivaji’s Film Fails to Impress
Sivaji Sontineni, who recently impressed audiences with the “90s” web series and films like Court and Dhandoraa, now ventures into production with Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani on the ETV Win platform. While the film shows promise in concept, it struggles in execution.
Story:
Sriram (Sivaji), a village secretary, lives a simple life with his wife Uttara (Laya) and son Bittu (Rohan) in a village near Horsley Hills, Madanapalle. Trouble begins when local cop Vikram (Prince) develops a personal vendetta against Sriram, turning dangerous as he targets Sriram’s wife.
The tension should center on Sriram protecting his family and unraveling the mystery of the police officer’s death—but the narrative fails to build suspense effectively.
Performances:
Sivaji keeps his performance subtle and grounded, fitting the role of a middle-class husband. Laya complements him well, portraying a wife with quirks convincingly. Young Rohan adds light-hearted moments, and Prince delivers an adequate antagonist performance. Other notable appearances include Dhanraj, who leaves an impression in the climax, and Bandla Ganesh in a brief cameo. Sarath Lohitaswa’s politician role feels routine and forgettable.
Technical Aspects:
Cinematography is the film’s highlight, especially in capturing the scenic outdoors. Production values are average, and the music does little to enhance the experience. Editing, however, is a major weak point, stretching a thin story into a two-hour-and-twenty-minute runtime that feels unnecessarily long.
Strengths:
- Scenic outdoor cinematography
- Pre-interval episode stands out
Weaknesses:
- Weak and predictable writing
- Forced humour
- Slow, dragging narration
- Lack of suspense in key moments
Analysis:
The film claims inspiration from Nelson Dilipkumar’s style—ordinary families caught in crime situations with dark humour—but the execution fails to capture that essence. The story strongly resembles Drishyam (Mohanlal), which makes it feel recycled. Instead of focusing on the tension of hiding a dead body, the narrative gets sidetracked by irrelevant subplots, diluting suspense.
The comedy, especially the track involving Ali, falls flat, and the final act offers only mild engagement, failing to salvage the overall experience.
Verdict:
Despite decent performances and good cinematography, Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani struggles due to formulaic writing, an overlong screenplay, and lackluster direction. A promising premise turns into a tedious, underwhelming watch.
Trump Warns of Possible Retaliation Amid Iran Conflict
US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that Americans would not be wrong to fear potential retaliatory attacks on US soil as tensions with Iran continue. In a new interview with Time magazine for its cover story titled “Trump’s War,” the President was asked whether such concerns were reasonable.
“I guess,” Trump responded. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things.” He added candidly, “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
The remarks come as the conflict with Iran, sparked by joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, continues to escalate without a clear timeline for resolution. Trump noted that the war has no fixed deadline. “I have no time limits on anything,” he said. “I want to get it done.”
Trump also indicated that ending the conflict could involve influencing changes to Iran’s leadership following the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the February 28 strikes. “One of the things I’m going to be asking for is the ability to work with them on choosing a new leader,” Trump said. “I’m not going through this to end up with another Khamenei. I want to be involved in the selection. They can select, but we have to make sure it’s somebody that’s reasonable to the United States.”
While Trump acknowledged the possibility of retaliation, other administration officials sought to reassure Americans that domestic security risks remain under control. Speaking at a briefing at US Central Command in Florida, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had no concerns about the safety of the US homeland.
“I don’t have any concerns about whether or not the homeland will be covered down on,” Hegseth stated. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem added that authorities are actively monitoring potential threats. “I am in direct coordination with our federal intelligence and law enforcement partners as we continue to closely monitor and thwart any potential threats to the homeland,” she said.
The ongoing conflict has already resulted in American casualties overseas, including six Americans killed when an unmanned aircraft struck a US facility in Kuwait. However, no attacks linked to the conflict have occurred inside the United States so far.
Security officials remain vigilant, recalling that attacks and plots by foreign adversaries and extremist groups were a recurring threat during the early-2000s war on terror. As tensions with Iran escalate, officials continue to monitor the potential for similar threats emerging on US soil.
