April 2026

Bhooth Bangla, the latest Bollywood hit film headlined by Akshay Kumar has surpassed the Rs. 200 crore gross mark at the worldwide box office. The team has now brought in the juicy BOGO (Buy One Get One) ticket offer for the horror comedy.

This is a solid move by the makers to attract more footfalls and collections. The offer will be valid from April 29 to May 3rd. This weekend, Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji is hitting the big screens and it carries good hype among the audience, especially in Maharashtra region.

Hence, the team of Bhooth Bangla has rightly come up with a tactical move to counter the competition. Directed by Priyadarshan, the movie also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Jisshu Sengupta, late Asrani ji, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Paresh Rawal in key roles.

National Award-winning actor Dhanush has teamed up with director Vignesh Raja for a crime action drama titled Kara. The film is set for release on April 30, 2026, in both Tamil and Telugu. Mamitha Baiju plays the female lead, pairing up with Dhanush for the first time.

The film has completed its censorship formalities in Telugu and received clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. With a runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes, Kara leans towards a detailed narrative rather than a typical commercial format.

The Telugu buzz is currently moderate compared to Tamil, but the film’s performance will largely depend on word of mouth post release.

The supporting cast includes Suraj Venjaramoodu, Jayaram, K. S. Ravikumar, and Karunas. Kara is produced by Ishari K. Ganesh under Vels Film International, with Kushmitha Ganesh as co producer. Music is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar.

During the promotions of Gaayapadda Simham, actress Faria Abdullah revealed that she was approached for Teja Sajja and Prasanth Varma’s blockbuster HanuMan, but she said no to the devotional entertainer. The actress called it the biggest regret in her career.

When asked what made her reject the film, Faria said, “I lacked brain back then, and hence I said no. I didn’t know much about the role. That was the time I entered the industry, and Jathi Rathnalu became a big hit. Whenever I meet Teja or Prasanth, my decision still lingers in my mind. I even tell them I missed the film.”

Faria Abdullah’s loss is Amritha Aiyer’s gain as the film went on to create a box office sensation. On the other hand, Faria Abdullah’s recent releases didn’t make much of an impact, and we need to see how Gaayapadda Simham will fare.

The look test of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s next with director Bobby happened today, and the filming will begin very soon. According to reports, versatile actor Prakash Raj will be seen in a key role in the biggie. Even in Chiru and Bobby’s blockbuster Waltair Veerayya, Prakash Raj appeared as the antagonist.

It is said that the makers are currently busy constructing the set in Hyderabad for the high-voltage interval sequence featuring Chiru and Prakash Raj. An official confirmation is awaited about his inclusion.

KVN Productions is set to bankroll the big-ticket entertainer on a massive budget. Chiru will play an aged gangster, and the daughter role will have huge importance in the story.
