Comedian-turned-director Venu Yeldandi who gained recognition with his debut film Balagam is now set to direct his second project tentatively titled Yellamma. Actor Nithiin has been confirmed as the lead and the film’s pre-production work is currently underway. The project is backed by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations with shooting expected to begin in May.

Initially actress Sai Pallavi was approached for the female lead role. However due to her commitments to a Bollywood project that required extended schedules she had to step down. The filmmakers then approached National Award-winning actress Keerthy Suresh who is reportedly finalizing her participation. This will mark Keerthy’s second collaboration with Nithiin following their successful pairing in Rang De.

The film’s music will be composed by the popular duo Ajay-Atul. With the backing of a reputed production house like Sri Venkateswara Creations expectations are high for this emotional drama.

Meanwhile Nithiin is preparing for the release of his upcoming films Robinhood and Thammudu. After completing promotional activities he will shift focus to Yellamma.

Robinhood directed by Venky Kudumula is a Telugu heist action-comedy featuring Nithiin alongside Sreeleela Shine Tom Chacko Vennela Kishore and Rajendra Prasad. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers the film is set to release on March 28 with music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar.

South actress Keerthy Suresh is expanding her career in Bollywood. After her Hindi debut in Baby John, which failed at the box office, she has now signed another Bollywood project. This time, she will star in a romantic comedy.

The filmmakers believe Keerthy is a great choice for the lead role. She has already impressed audiences in Telugu romantic comedies like Nenu Sailaja, Nenu Local, and Rang De. Now, she is attempting to make a mark in Bollywood with a similar genre.

However, some fans are concerned. Since Baby John did not perform well, they feel she should be more cautious about her next move. Taking on another Bollywood film, especially in the same genre, could be risky. If this film also fails, it might limit her future opportunities in the industry.

Reports suggest that this new film will focus more on glamour than performance. Keerthy is usually successful in movies where she plays strong, well-defined roles. Fans believe she should choose projects that highlight her acting skills rather than repeat past mistakes.

Besides this Bollywood film, Keerthy Suresh is also working on Akka, a gangster thriller set in a fictional South Indian city. The film follows a power struggle between strong female leaders, with Keerthy playing the leader of an all-female gang. Her role in Akka promises to be intense and action-packed.

హీరోయిన్ కీర్తి సురేష్ పెళ్లి ఇటీవలే ఘనంగా జరిగిన సంగతి తెలిసిందే. డిసెంబర్ 12న, ఒక చిన్న, సన్నిహిత కార్యక్రమంలో కీర్తి తన ప్రియుడు ఆంటోనితో వివాహం చేసుకుంది. 15 సంవత్సరాల ప్రేమ కథను ప్రపంచానికి పరిచయం చేస్తూ కీర్తి, తన ప్రేమను పెళ్లిగా మార్చుకుంది. కాలేజి రోజుల నుంచే ప్రేమించిన వ్యక్తితోనే తన ఏరుగులు వేసింది ఈ హీరోయిన్.

గోవాలో డిసెంబర్ 12న జరిగిన ఈ డెస్టినేషన్ వెడ్డింగ్, మొదట హిందూ సంప్రదాయం ప్రకారం, తర్వాత క్రిస్టియన్ మ్యారేజ్‌ ప్రకారం జరిగి అందరిని ఆకట్టుకుంది.

పెళ్లి పూర్తయ్యాక, కీర్తి తన సినిమాల షూటింగ్‌లలో పాల్గొనడం మొదలు పెట్టింది. ఈ ఏడాది, కీర్తి బాలీవుడ్‌లో సైతం అడుగుపెట్టింది. వరుణ్ ధావన్‌తో కలిసి “బేబీ జాన్” అనే సినిమాలో నటించింది. కానీ, ఈ సినిమా బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద పెద్దగా విజయవంతం కాలేదు. దీంతో కీర్తి కొంత నిరాశ చెందింది. అయితే పెళ్లి తర్వాత ఆమె తాళిబొట్టు ధరించి కొన్ని రోజులు కనిపించింది. ముఖ్యంగా బేబీ జాన్ ప్రమోషన్స్ మొత్తం కీర్తి సురేష్ తాళిబొట్టు వేసుకొని కనిపించింది.

చాలా మంది ఆమెను ప్రశంసించారు, కానీ కొన్ని రోజుల క్రితం, భర్తతో చేసిన ఫొటోషూట్‌లో కీర్తి తాళిబొట్టు లేకుండా కనిపించింది. ఈ ఫొటోలు షేర్ చేసిన తరువాత, నెటిజన్లు ఆమెపై విమర్శలు చేయడం మొదలుపెట్టారు. “రెండు నెలలకే తాళిబొట్టు బరువైందా?” అంటూ ప్రశ్నిస్తున్నారు. మొత్తానికి సినిమా ప్రమోషన్స్ లో కూడా తాళిబొట్టు వేసుకుని కనిపించిన కీర్తి సురేష్ ఇప్పుడు అసల వాటిని పట్టించుకోకుండా.. ఇంస్టాగ్రామ్ ఫొటోల్లో కూడా మామూలుగానే కనిపిస్తోంది. దీంతో పెళ్లయిన రెండు నెలలకే ఇంత షాక్ ఇచ్చింది అంటూ కామెంట్లు పెడుతున్నారు నేటిజన్స్.

Keerthy Suresh has been in the news recently, sparking rumors about her potential exit from films. These rumors began circulating after her wedding to entrepreneur Antony Thattil, which captured the attention of her fans. While her dreamy wedding pictures were shared widely on social media, reports also began suggesting that Keerthy might step away from acting.

At present, Keerthy Suresh has only two confirmed projects: Revolver Rita and Kannivedi. Some have speculated that she may not take on any new projects after these. However, there has been no official confirmation from Keerthy or her team regarding her decision to leave films.

Despite the rumors, Keerthy quickly returned to work after her wedding. She joined her cast members for promotional activities of her upcoming Bollywood debut, Baby John, alongside Varun Dhawan. This shows that Keerthy remains committed to her career even after tying the knot.

The actress’s wedding to Antony was a significant event, with a traditional Hindu ceremony followed by a Christian wedding. The celebration was attended by close family and industry friends, including notable figures like Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan.

While there’s no official statement on her future in the film industry, Keerthy’s fans are eagerly waiting to see what’s next for the talented actress. For now, it seems that she is focused on her current projects and her new chapter with Antony.

Keerthy, known for her down-to-earth nature, chose to keep her wedding small and private, with only close family and a few friends from the film industry attending. Notable guests included actors Trisha and Vijay, adding a touch of glamour to the otherwise simple event.

One of the most talked-about aspects of the wedding was Keerthy’s bridal saree. The saree, made from madisar silk in Kanchipuram, drew attention for its stunning craftsmanship and elegance. The saree, valued at over ₹3 lakh, features intricate golden zari work. It took an impressive 405 hours to weave, showcasing the skill and dedication of the artisans involved. Similarly, Antony’s wedding attire, which included a silk dhoti and shawl, took around 150 hours to create.

Keerthy, known for her interest in costume design, added a personal touch to her bridal look by designing the saree herself. This detail highlighted her creative involvement in the wedding, making the event even more special.

Although the ceremony was modest, it garnered significant attention from fans and the film community. Many praised Keerthy for blending simplicity with grandeur, creating a memorable wedding that reflected both her style and personality.
