Maa Inti Bangaram (MIB) is star heroine Samantha’s upcoming film and her first release after her marriage to Raj Nidimoru. Directed by Nandini Reddy, this family crime action drama is back in the headlines with a musical update that also brings much-needed clarity about its release.

With Ram Charan’s Peddi moving out of its April 30 release slot, there was speculation that Samantha and the MIB team might take advantage of the date. However, with the announcement of the first single, the makers have reaffirmed that the film will release as planned on May 15, 2026.

The first song, Thassadiya, composed by Santhosh Narayanan, is said to be an energetic family party number and will be released on April 16, 2026. It is also confirmed that Think Music India has acquired the film’s audio rights for a decent price.

The film is produced by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Himank Reddy Duvvuru, and Raj Nidimoru of Raj and DK fame under the banner Tralala Moving Pictures. The supporting cast includes Gulshan Devaiah, Diganth Manchale, Gautami Tadimalla, Sreemukhi, Srilakshmi, Anjali, and Sathyaraj.

Once a comedian, supporting actor and now a producer, Bandla Ganesh collaborated with Pawan Kalyan for the film Teenmaar, which featured Trivikram’s screenplay and was directed by Jayanth C Paranjee. As the film completes 15 years today, fans have taken to social media with a special request.

Despite failing at the box office during its original release, Teenmaar has gained a section of admirers over the years. Bandla Ganesh had earlier promised to re-release the film with certain changes, and fans are now reminding him of that commitment.

Ganesh has been actively noticing these requests and even shared an old video where he spoke about the film’s uniqueness. In a recent response, he replied with a “100%” when a fan suggested releasing the revised version on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday.

If Bandla Ganesh still plans to revisit Teenmaar with necessary corrections, the film could receive a much better response this time. Many fans are especially demanding improved dubbing, which was widely criticized during the original release.

It remains to be seen whether the producer will act on these requests and give the film a second life.

Teenmaar stars Trisha and Kriti Kharbanda as the female lead, while Sonu Sood played a key role. Mani Sharma’s music turned out to be a major highlight, and the film also marked Pawan Kalyan’s first dual role appearance.

Mega Power Star Ram Charan has now shared his opinion on Tollywood’s latest outing, Dacoit. He took to X and stated that he thoroughly enjoyed the romantic action drama.
He wrote, “Watched Dacoit and thoroughly enjoyed it. Adivi Sesh delivers a solid and memorable performance as Hari. Mrunal Thakur is terrific and brings great depth to her role. Anurag Kashyap garu and the entire cast stand out with strong performances. Supriya Yarlagadda garu and Annapurna Studios have backed this film with absolute conviction and presented it with high technical standards. Congratulations to the entire team.”

Earlier, Nani and now Charan have spoken highly of the Sesh starrer, and the film is expected to fetch decent numbers over the next few days. Prakash Raj, Sunil, Kamakshi Bhaskarla, and Zayn Marie Khan played key roles.

Pallichattambi is a Malayalam action drama starring Tovino Thomas, with Kayadu Lohar as the female lead. Directed by Dijo Jose Antony, the film was initially slated for a multilingual release on April 10, 2026, but has now been rescheduled to April 15, 2026 to coincide with the Vishu festival.

Interestingly, bookings have opened only for the Malayalam version, even in Telugu states and other major cities. As per the latest updates, the Telugu version is now set to release on April 17, 2026, with an official announcement expected soon. Other language versions may also arrive on the same date, although confirmation is awaited.

Set in the Kerala high ranges during the 1950s and 1960s, the film explores themes of oppression and resistance, following a man who rises against a powerful system. It blends a rooted narrative with strong action elements.

The supporting cast includes Swasika, Indrans, and Natty Subramaniam. Music is composed by Jakes Bejoy. With its festive release and growing buzz, Pallichattambi is expected to make a solid impact at the box office.

Following the moderate success of Vaazha and the sensational box office win of Vaazha 2, the makers of the franchise have announced a third installment. This time, the cast will be led by girls rather than the boys who fronted the previous films. This shift marks a significant change for the series while maintaining its established momentum.

The movie is titled Vaazha 3: Biopic of a Billion Girls. In keeping with the franchise’s tradition of rotating directors, this part will be directed by Viswan Sreejith, while Vipin Das remains the writer.

No casting details have been revealed yet, as the makers are once again looking for fresh faces. In their social media post, they requested that people hold off on sending portfolios until the script is locked and open auditions are announced.

Vipin Das, Harris Desom, PB Anish, Sahu Garapati, Adarsh Narayan, and Icon Studios will serve as producers. Ankit Menon will handle the music department for the film. More details will be announced soon regarding this highly anticipated third entry in the Vaazha franchise.

One of the craziest Tollywood projects that has been in the news for various reasons is back in the headlines. The film is Trivikram’s next and a pan-Indian mythological spectacle based on Lord Karthikeya.

There has been coutless speculations regarding the lead cast, but the present scenario indicates that Jr NTR is likely to headline the project. The latest buzz suggests that an official announcement will be made on May 20, 2026, coinciding with the star’s birthday.

There is still a lot of time for the announcement if this turns out to be true. The gossip also suggests that the title has been decided, and it is Shanmukudu. How far these speculations are true remains to be seen.

Naga Vamsi will handle the production under his banner Sithara Entertainments in collaboration with Sai Soujanya’s Fortune 4 Cinemas. More details about this big project are expected to be announced soon.

Lenin is Akhil Akkineni’s next film with Murali Kishore Abburu as the director, and Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead. The movie is produced by Nagarjuna Akkineni under Manam Enterprises LLP in association with Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments.

The makers took to social media and announced that the second single Yetta Yetta will be released on April 16, 2026. The interesting part is that the team is releasing the video song, not a lyrical one. This comes as a surprise, similar to what the makers of Peddi did with Chikiri Chikiri.

According to the makers of Lenin, it is a mass, peppy, and instantly addictive track composed by Thaman. On the other hand, the movie is still on track to arrive in cinemas on June 26, 2026.
