Pooja Hegde has found herself in the spotlight once again, this time due to circulating rumours about her personal life which has now become a hot topic.

Reports suggest that the actress is allegedly dating the son of a yesteryear actor, though no specific details have been officially confirmed.

So far, Pooja has largely stayed away from such speculations and has maintained a private stance regarding her relationships. However, the latest rumours have gone viral on social media, drawing attention from fans and the film fraternity alike.

It is important to note that there has been no confirmation from the actress or her team regarding these claims. Until she chooses to address them, the reports remain purely speculative.

Yash’s Toxic has once again been postponed, leaving fans disappointed. The film is a high budget father and son revenge saga set in old Goa, directed by Geetu Mohandas. With its postponement from June 4, 2026, the big question now is which movie will take that release slot.

At the moment, there are no major films scheduled for that week except Rao Bahadur, which is set to release on June 5. Meanwhile, Peddi and Lenin are planned for June 25 and June 26 respectively.

Fans are now wondering why Peddi cannot be preponed, especially since its shoot is almost complete and postproduction is already in progress. With no other big releases lined up for most of the month, this move could be a major advantage for the film.

It would also allow Lenin to have a smoother run at the box office. Ultimately, however, the decision rests with the makers of Peddi. The film stars Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, with music composed by AR Rahman.

Srinivasa Mangapuram is the next directorial venture of Ajay Bhupathi, featuring Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni and Rasha Thadani as the lead pair. The film’s latest song has now been released digitally by Natural Star Nani.

The song, “Allele Allele,” composed by GV Prakash Kumar, is melodic and showcases the warmth of the lead pair’s love. The soulful vocals of GV Prakash Kumar and Hari Priya add depth to Shreemani’s lyrics. The track has a pleasant vibe, making it perfect for playlists. Adding to that, the lead pair looks impressive on screen.

Mohan Babu will be seen in a negative role in this love action drama. The project is presented by Ashwini Dutt and produced by P. Kiran under the Chandamama Kathalu banner. With shooting progressing at a brisk pace, the film is expected to hit screens later this year.

Akhil Akkineni’s next film, Lenin, is shaping up as an intense rural action drama directed by Murali Kishore Abburu. The film stars Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead alongside Akhil Akkineni.

With Ram Charan’s Peddi locked for release on June 25, 2026, there was widespread speculation that Lenin might shift from its planned June 26 release. However, producer Nagarjuna Akkineni has firmly dismissed these rumors, confirming that the film will arrive in theaters as scheduled.

Nagarjuna further raised expectations by sharing his excitement after watching the film’s first cut. He stated with confidence and pride that audiences are about to witness a completely new version of Akhil. The senior actor, who is currently busy shooting King100, expressed strong belief in the film’s impact.

The reaffirmation of the release date has heightened anticipation among Akkineni fans, who are eager to see Akhil in a refreshed and powerful avatar. At the same time, there is growing demand for sharper and more aggressive promotions as the release approaches.

Lenin is produced by Nagarjuna Akkineni under Manam Enterprises LLP, in collaboration with Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments. The music for the film is composed by Thaman.

Following its strong run in India, Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, is set to release in Japan on July 10, 2026. The international rollout was confirmed with a localised trailer and a new poster, marking a strategic push into a key overseas market.

The Japan release is expected to add a fresh revenue stream to the film’s overall collections. With Japanese audiences showing growing interest in large scale Indian action films, Dhurandhar has the potential to extend its theatrical run beyond domestic success and strengthen its global box office total.

Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film features an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. Music by Shashwat Sachdev has also helped the film gain traction across digital platforms.

Positioned as a gritty spy thriller, Dhurandhar now looks to capitalise on its overseas expansion, with Japan emerging as a key market for boosting its final worldwide gross.

Victory Venkatesh is currently juggling two promising projects. While his film with Anil Ravipudi is slated for Sankranthi 2027, he is also working on Trivikram Srinivas’ family entertainer, tentatively titled Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 (AK 47).

The film has recently wrapped up a key schedule in Hyderabad. Adding to the buzz, cinematographer Ravi K Chandran revealed that the team is now filming a high-octane climax action sequence, choreographed by Kevin Kumar. This suggests that Venkatesh will be seen in a surprising action avatar in what is otherwise a family-centric drama.

Srinidhi Shetty plays the female lead, with Nara Rohit, Pujita Ponnada, Rao Ramesh, Brahmaji, and others in pivotal roles. The project is being bankrolled by Haarika & Hassine Creations, while Harshavardhan Rameshwar is composing the music. The makers are expected to announce the release date and further updates soon.

After delivering Bollywood’s biggest hit with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Aditya Dhar has started preparing for his next. According to an exclusive report in Pink Villa, the director has cracked a fresh idea and has begun working on developing the full script. The project is likely to go on floors by March 2027.

Ranveer Singh is the frontrunner for this flick, which will be set in the larger-than-life space. The casting isn’t confirmed yet at this stage, but Dhar seems to be more interested in reuniting with the gem of an actor once again.

If the actor-director combo materializes, it will be one of the most-anticipated films not just in Bollywood but also in Indian cinema especially after the kind of impact the Dhurandhar franchise has made.

For the past couple of days, a rumor has been widely circulating online that Anil Ravipudi’s next film with Victory Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram is out of the Sankranthi 2027 race. The news quickly went viral, prompting the makers to finally respond.

The team has now clarified that there is no truth to these rumors and that the film is very much on track for a Sankranthi 2027 release. They also confirmed that the pooja ceremony will take place soon, while script work is currently in progress.

The shoot is expected to begin shortly. Krithi Shetty has been locked in as the female lead. More details will be announced soon.
