Nithiin is gearing up for a new project under Sithara Entertainments, adding an interesting film to his upcoming lineup. The makers have reportedly roped in Ritika Nayak, known for her work in Mirai, as the female lead.

The film is expected to go on floors soon, with more details about the director and storyline likely to be revealed in the coming days. This project comes at a crucial time for Nithiin, who has been struggling to deliver a solid box office hit in recent years.

With expectations riding high, the actor is said to have pinned strong hopes on this collaboration. Fans are eager to see if this film will mark a comeback and bring him back into the success zone.

A disturbing incident unfolded during the re-release screening of Darling starring Prabhas at Sudarshan Theatre in Hyderabad. A fan was reportedly beaten up after allegedly misbehaving with female employees at the venue.

According to reports, the situation escalated when the individual’s actions upset the theatre management. In response, members of the staff intervened and physically assaulted the fan, leading to chaos at the screening.

A video capturing the incident has since gone viral on social media, sparking widespread debate. While some are condemning the use of violence, others are stressing the importance of maintaining discipline and respecting staff at public venues.

Legendary director Singeetam Srinivasa Rao is returning to direction after a long gap with a film tentatively titled SSR61. The project is being produced by prominent director Nag Ashwin. Even at the age of 94, Singeetam’s active presence on the sets has left the film industry amazed.

On the occasion of Nag Ashwin’s birthday, the team released a special behind-the-scenes video. It showcases how Nag Ashwin is bringing his mentor Singeetam’s vision to life without any compromise. The title and teaser will be released soon.

Speaking on the occasion, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao expressed his gratitude to Nag Ashwin for helping fulfill a dream he had cherished for decades. The film is being made as a proper rural entertainer, blending Singeetam Sreenivas Rao’s signature humor with a fresh narrative.

Adivi Sesh continues to push hard for Dacoit even after completing two weeks at the box office. With the film all set to enter its third week, the actor is still actively promoting it, showing no signs of slowing down.

In a rare move, Sesh is personally touring different regions to connect with audiences. He is scheduled to visit the Godavari belt tomorrow, interacting with fans and encouraging more footfall in theatres.

This level of commitment highlights how keen he is to extend the film’s theatrical run. Dacoit has already entered the safe zone commercially, but Sesh seems determined to take it further.

His consistent promotional efforts reflect a clear intent to maximize the film’s reach and box office potential. Mrunal Thakur played the female lead in the film.

Lechindi Mahila Lokam was released in cinemas on March 26, 2026, but went largely unnoticed due to poor promotions. Manchu Lakshmi, Ananya Nagalla, Shraddha Das, Hari Teja, and Supritha Naidu headlined the film.

Yesterday, it made its way to Sun NXT, and now it is set to stream on another OTT platform as well. Amazon Prime Video will premiere it from tomorrow, which might help the film reach a wider audience.

The comedy drama, helmed by Arjun and Carthyk, is bankrolled by Hyma Rajasekhar, Shweta Mahi, and Nirosha Naveen. Sreerama Chandra, Hema, Bhadram, and others appear in supporting roles.

Shimit Amin, who delivered the classic Chak De India with Shah Rukh Khan, is once again returning to direction with an aerial actioner titled Captain India. The movie will be fronted by Kartik Aaryan, and the latest update reveals that Captain India will be released on August 13, 2027.

The industry has already started locking the Independence Day weekend window for 2027, a period that is considered lucrative for theatrical business. Captain India will feature Kartik Aaryan as an Air Force Pilot and is set against the backdrop of a true story.

Reportedly, Kartik Aaryan was the one who suggested Shimit Amin about Captain India subject, while the director was looking for interesting ideas. The biggie will be shot extensively in India and Morocco.

Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh, had a good run at the box office. The actor is now busy with the post-release promotions, and in an interview, Sesh recalled a harsh experience when a netizen asked him if he even had fans.

Adivi Sesh said, “Once I tweeted about Goodachari 2 and I used the word ‘fans.’ A netizen asked me if I even had fans. Generally, I don’t have the habit of reading comments. I was referring to Goodachari franchise fans. There are people who come to theatres because they like me. But he still criticised me. I told him that’s the credibility I have earned from the audiences.”

Sesh added, “That credibility word is once again in the spotlight as media started using it to talk about Dacoit’s performance. In an industry that has top stars like Shah Rukh Khan garu, Pawan Kalyan garu, and Mahesh Babu garu, Dacoit running well till the second weekend, passing the Monday test is a big achievement. There are other means of entertainment now, including OTT, Instagram, and IPL, but Dacoit overcame them.”
