Hyderabad The New Face of Indian Cinema

Share


For decades, Bollywood has been synonymous with Indian cinema, serving as its global face and cultural ambassador. However, in recent years, a significant shift has been observed in the cinematic landscape of the country. The Telugu film industry, popularly known as Tollywood, is rapidly gaining ground, emerging as a powerful force in Indian cinema. At the heart of this transformation lies Hyderabad, which is steadily positioning itself as the new epicenter of film production in India.

This paradigm shift can be largely attributed to visionary filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli, whose magnum opus Baahubali redefined the scale and ambition of Indian cinema. The monumental success of the Baahubali series opened doors for Telugu filmmakers to explore larger-than-life narratives with a pan-India appeal. While several film industries across the country attempted to replicate this model, it is Telugu cinema that has consistently delivered successful pan-India blockbusters, resonating with audiences nationwide.

Today, Telugu films are not only captivating regional audiences but are also garnering widespread acclaim across India and overseas. This growing acceptance is expanding the market reach for Telugu cinema and increasing the popularity of its actors, directors, and storytelling styles.

Interestingly, the changing dynamics have also led to a reverse migration. Several Telugu actors who once aspired to make a mark in Bollywood are now returning to their roots, finding greater creative satisfaction and commercial success within Tollywood. At the same time, a number of prominent Bollywood actors and producers are expressing keen interest in collaborating with Telugu filmmakers, further cementing Hyderabad’s status as a thriving center for cinema.

With robust infrastructure, visionary talent, and a growing nationwide appeal, Hyderabad is fast becoming the nucleus of India’s film industry. As these trends continue to evolve, it is only a matter of time before the city is globally recognized as the new face of Indian cinema.

Dhanush and Sekhar Kammula’s Kubera Kicks Off Promotions with Energetic First Single Promo.After a long phase of silence, the team behind Kubera, the much-anticipated collaboration between National Award-winning actor Dhanush and acclaimed director Sekhar Kammula, has officially begun promotional activities. Leading the campaign is the launch of the first single promo, titled Poi Ra Mama, which promises to be an upbeat, vibrant addition to the film’s soundtrack.

Set for full release on April 20th, Poi Ra Mama is sung by Dhanush himself, whose vocals bring a perfect blend of energy and charm to the track. While the exact context of the song within the narrative remains under wraps, the high-spirited tone and lively visuals suggest a celebratory vibe that is likely to resonate with audiences.

The promo features Dhanush dancing through the streets with a raw, rugged flair—an apparent reflection of his character’s grounded and unpolished persona. According to reports, Dhanush will be seen portraying a beggar in the film, which offers a sharp contrast to Nagarjuna’s character, who is said to be a powerful and wealthy businessman. This intriguing juxtaposition adds another layer of curiosity around the film’s storyline.

As Kubera gears up for its theatrical release on June 20, 2025, this first glimpse into its musical world sets an exciting tone for what’s to come. With Sekhar Kammula’s unique storytelling and Dhanush’s versatile performance, Kubera is poised to be a standout release this year.

Pooja Hegde Hints at Telugu Comeback, Expresses Interest in Biopics

Share


Pooja Hegde, one of the most celebrated actresses in the Telugu film industry, has built a remarkable career marked by charm, talent, and consistent box office success. Though her debut Telugu film Oka Laila Kosam didn’t make a significant impact, she quickly rose to prominence with a string of hits and has since earned a strong fan base across the Telugu-speaking states.

Despite her stardom, Pooja has been relatively inactive in Telugu cinema of late. Following her exit from Guntur Kaaram, she has yet to sign a new Telugu project. However, the actress is currently back in the spotlight, promoting her upcoming film Retro, where she stars opposite Suriya. The film is slated for release on May 1st under the banner of Sithara Entertainments.

In a recent media interaction, Pooja shared insights into her career trajectory and future aspirations. Reflecting on the rising trend of biopics in Indian cinema, she expressed enthusiasm about exploring the genre. “A biopic is something I haven’t done before, and it genuinely excites me,” she said. “I’m especially interested in stories about unsung heroes, rather than well-known personalities. I’d also love to be part of a sports drama.”

When asked if she would consider portraying legendary actress Sridevi in a biopic, Pooja responded with admiration: “I already danced to her iconic song Elluvachi Godaramma, and I would love to act in her biopic if the opportunity arises.”

Though she has not officially signed any new Telugu films, Pooja confirmed that a project is on the horizon. “It’s a beautiful love story,” she revealed, adding that the announcement will be made at the right time. She is reportedly pinning high hopes on this upcoming venture.

Grateful for the unwavering support she has received over the years, Pooja took a moment to thank the Telugu audience. “If people are buying tickets and watching me on screen, I take that as the biggest compliment. I am forever grateful to the Telugu audience—Telugu people always remain in my heart,” she concluded.

With Retro set for release and a new Telugu love story in the pipeline, fans are eagerly awaiting Pooja Hegde’s return to the industry she holds so dear.
