For the past few days, rumours about Allu Arjun shifting from Hyderabad to Mumbai have been doing the rounds. Some reports even claimed that Sun Pictures refused to bear flight expenses, which allegedly led to this decision.

Dismissing all the speculation, his father and producer Allu Aravind clarified that there is no truth in these rumours. He stated that Allu Arjun has no plans to leave Hyderabad, as his children study here, his home is here, and his close circle is based here. “Why would he move to Mumbai leaving all this?” he questioned.

On the work front, Allu Arjun’s next release is Raaka. Meanwhile, fresh buzz suggests a possible collaboration with Prashanth Neel, though there is no official clarity yet. Stay tuned for more updates.

Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel are cooking up one of the most anticipated biggies, which was initially slated for June 25, 2026. However, the ground reality is that a major portion of the shoot is still pending, making the planned release practically impossible.

Putting an end to the speculation, Jr NTR officially announced the postponement on his social media handles. The film has now been pushed by nearly a year and is locked for release on June 11, 2027. This means the project will take close to four years from its announcement to hit the big screens.

While the delay has left fans disappointed, the makers are clearly prioritizing quality over speed. In a much-needed relief, Jr NTR also confirmed that the film’s first glimpse will be unveiled on May 20, 2026, coinciding with his birthday.

The announcement poster instantly grabs attention, presenting Jr NTR in a rugged, warrior-like avatar with a muscular build, thick beard, and intense expression, hinting at a powerful action spectacle.

Backed by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, the film stars Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, with music composed by Ravi Basrur. The project is currently being referred to as Dragon.

Raaka is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films from Allu Arjun and Atlee. The recently unveiled first look poster has received a strong response, raising expectations among fans.

Music director Sai Abhyankkar has now added to the excitement by sharing insights into the film’s soundtrack. He revealed that the team has been working extensively on multiple songs, with Atlee having a clear vision for the music right from their first meeting. He also noted that Allu Arjun’s strong taste in music is playing a key role in shaping the album.

Sai further shared that the makers are aiming for an international standard soundtrack. To achieve this, they are collaborating with foreign singers and lyricists, promising a fresh and immersive musical experience.

These updates have only heightened anticipation, with fans eager to see what the team has been creating behind the scenes.

Deepika Padukone is currently confirmed as the female lead, while several other notable names are expected to join the cast. The film is being produced by Sun Pictures and is said to feature a pan world narrative aimed at a global audience.

Swayambhu, the latest project of Nikhil Siddhartha, has run into release uncertainty. Initially slated for April 10, the film was later rumored to shift to April 30, taking the date vacated by Peddi.

However, that plan too hasn’t materialized, leaving fans confused. While there is no official clarity yet, industry buzz suggests possible post-production delays as the main reason.

Given the film’s scale and technical demands, the makers may be taking extra time to ensure quality. Swayambhu is a crucial film for Nikhil, and expectations are high.

Whether the delay is due to technical reasons or strategic planning remains to be seen, as fans await an official update. Stay tuned for more.

Thimmarajupalli TV and Papam Prathap have slowed down significantly at the box office as weekdays kick in. Both films opened to fairly decent reviews and positive word of mouth in certain sections, but that hasn’t translated into strong theatrical footfalls.

On Monday, occupancy for both films remained below the 50% mark, indicating a clear dip after the weekend. Despite having content that appeals to a niche audience, the lack of star power seems to be affecting their overall reach.

In today’s scenario, even well-reviewed small films need strong buzz or backing to sustain in theatres. With limited visibility and low initial momentum, both films are now facing an uphill task to hold screens in the coming days.

Suriya is aiming to make a comeback with the rural action entertainer Karuppu. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film is slated to hit screens on May 14. Sai Abyankkar is the music composer.

Initially, the team roped in AR Rahman, but later the music composer opted out of the film due to personal reasons. Talking about the same, Sai Abyankkar said, “When I got Karuppu offer it was literally surprising for me. I didn’t get any clear answer why AR Rahman sir is out of the project. I spoke to Rahman sir also & he was fine that I’ll be doing music.”

He added, “The entire film has superb energy with a blend of mass and spirituality. Re-recording is 70% done, and we are gearing up for audio launch which will happen soon.”

Trisha plays the female lead, while the film is produced by S. R. Prakash Babu and S. R. Prabhu under Dream Warrior Pictures The film will release in Telugu as Veera Bhadrudu.

There are decent expectations around the comedy drama Jetlee, which brings together director Ritesh Rana and comedian Satya. Former Miss Universe India Rhea Singha is playing the female lead, and the promotional content released so far has already created curiosity.

Now, the makers have revealed another interesting update. Actress Faria Abdullah is dubbing for Rhea Singha’s character in this quirky entertainer. A promotional video related to this is currently going viral on social media.

The film is a unique action-comedy entertainer set against aviation backdrop. Vennela Kishore, Viva Harsha, and others are also set to entertain with their comedy. Produced jointly by Clap Entertainment and Mythri Movie Makers, the film has music composed by Kaala Bhairava. Jetlee releases on May 1, 2026.

Vijay Deverakonda may be going through a rough phase at the box office, but his upcoming lineup suggests a strong comeback could be on the cards.

The actor has lined up some promising projects, including Ranabaali, a film with Shouryuv, and Rowdy Janardhana. What makes this lineup exciting is the combination of solid directors and varied genres, giving Vijay a good platform to bounce back.

Each project appears to offer something different, from intense storytelling to mass appeal. If even two of these films manage to click at the box office, Vijay Deverakonda could stage a strong return and regain his momentum.

With the right content and execution, this phase might just turn into a major comeback story. Let’s see how all these films pan out in the days to come.
