The Mirzapur story is now making the jump from the small screen to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. The much-awaited crime action drama is gearing up for a theatrical release on September 4, 2026, including in Telugu. With the popular streaming franchise making its cinema debut, expectations are naturally high.

The film has now become a talking point over its CBFC certification and mandated cuts. As expected, Mirzapur: The Movie has received an ‘A’ certificate, with the censor board ordering a total reduction of 35 seconds across two intimate scenes in the first and second halves.

Several cuss words, abusive expressions and dialogue terms have also been muted or replaced, while a caste reference was modified. Interestingly, the violent and gory portions have been left untouched. Despite the cuts, the certified theatrical version has a lengthy runtime of 197 minutes and 19 seconds – 3 hours, 17 minutes and 19 seconds.

Helmed by Gurmeet Singh and backed by Excel Entertainment in association with Amazon MGM Studios, the film features Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Rasika Dugal and Shweta Tripathi Sharma in key roles. With the franchise making its big-screen debut, its theatrical response is now keenly awaited. Advance bookings will open across the nation tomorrow.

Karthi’s Sardar 2, the sequel to the 2022 blockbuster Sardar, has already created good buzz among the audience. The makers have now released the theatrical trailer at an event, and it promises a big-screen spectacle packed with stylish action and thrills.

Karthi impresses with his different looks, powerful action, and dialogue delivery. Going by the trailer, director P.S. Mithran seems to have taken his signature style of filmmaking to a much higher level, presenting the story on an international scale this time. The visuals, intriguing BGM, and action sequences in the trailer offer a thrilling experience.

Meanwhile, SJ Suryah’s presence as the antagonist has instantly raised expectations for the film. The mind games between Karthi and SJ Suryah are expected to be one of the major highlights. Also, the movie seems to explore the guilt angle of a spy.

Overall, the Sardar 2 trailer makes it clear that the film promises a mass, action-packed, edge-of-the-seat experience in theatres. Malavika Mohanan and Ashika Ranganath play the female leads, while Sam C.S. is composing the music. The film is gearing up for a grand release on September 10.

Fahadh Faasil will next be seen in the film Don’t Trouble The Trouble. Directed by debutant Shashank Yeleti, the fantasy drama follows Suri (Fahadh Faasil) and a young girl (played by Ssara) who possesses mysterious powers.

The movie was initially announced for a September 11, 2026 release, but it is no longer arriving on that date. The latest update reveals that Don’t Trouble The Trouble will arrive in cinemas on October 2, 2026. With this announcement, it is certain that Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam is moving to a later date.

Produced by Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni, and S.S. Karthikeya under the Arka Media Works and Showing Business banners, Don’t Trouble The Trouble is presented by S.S. Rajamouli. The film releases in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Kaala Bhairava has composed the music.
