Adivi Sesh

Adivi Sesh, currently riding high on the success of Dacoit, opened up about his personal life in a candid interview. Speaking about his past relationships, the actor revealed that he had been in two serious relationships, both of which ended painfully.

Sesh shared that his first relationship left a deep emotional impact, as his former partner got married on his birthday, something that made him feel low every year.

Years later, he found love again, but that too ended in a breakup. In a tragic turn, he later learned that his ex had passed away, leaving him completely devastated.

Despite these experiences, Sesh remains one of the most eligible bachelors in Telugu cinema, focusing on his career and moving forward with resilience.

Mahesh Babu is currently focused on his upcoming film Varanasi with S. S. Rajamouli. Meanwhile, reports have been doing the rounds claiming that the star is planning to complete three films in the next three years after this project.

The news has quickly gone viral, creating excitement among fans eager to see Mahesh Babu return with multiple releases. However, sources suggest that there is no truth to these reports.

The actor has not locked any directors or projects beyond his current commitment. It is believed that Mahesh will only take a call on his future films after Varanasi releases, making the ongoing speculation premature.

The Tamil original series ‘Exam’ was announced during a recent Amazon Prime Video slate event. This high-stakes socio-thriller explores the dark underbelly of India’s competitive testing system, highlighting the intense pressure faced by millions of students.

Amazon Prime Video confirmed that Exam will premiere on May 15, 2026, with seven episodes. It will stream simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The story follows a determined young woman with a mysterious past who infiltrates the world of the Regional Public Service Exam scam to expose a paper-leak network exploiting students.

Raakaasaa

Raakaasaa

Raakaasa is one of the notable Telugu films released in April 2026. After receiving a decent response during its theatrical run, the horror comedy is now set for its digital debut on Netflix. The streaming giant recently confirmed via social media that the film will be available for streaming from May 1, 2026.

While Netflix confirmed multilingual releases in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, the absence of a Hindi version has raised questions. Most films today are released in all major languages to maximise reach. Despite its clear potential among Hindi-speaking audiences, Raakaasa has not been included in Netflix’s Hindi lineup, likely due to pre-existing agreements made before its theatrical release.

There is a strong possibility that the Hindi version may stream on ZEE5, given that Z Studios co-produced the film. If a ZEE5 release does not materialise, audiences will have to wait for an official update from the makers regarding the Hindi OTT rights.

Produced by Niharika Konidela, the film marks the feature directorial debut of Manasa Sharma and features music by Anudeep Dev. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Sangeeth Sobhan, Nayan Sarika, Vennela Kishore, Getup Srinu, Brahmaji, and Tanikella Bharani.
