Rajinikanth worried about Tollywood hero’s film?

This August, the box office is set for an exciting battle. Two major films, War 2 and Coolie, are releasing back-to-back. War 2, starring NTR and Hrithik Roshan, is scheduled to hit screens on August 14, while Rajinikanth’s Coolie is expected to release on August 15.

There are huge expectations for War 2. The combination of NTR and Hrithik Roshan has created a buzz across India. Fans of the War franchise are eagerly waiting for this film. Moreover, this is NTR’s first film after RRR, making it a must-watch. Experts believe that War 2 will dominate the box office.

However, Coolie is also a strong competitor. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has a powerful star cast, including Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, and Upendra. Rajinikanth’s films always create a sensation in the South, so Coolie is expected to perform well in that region. But at the national level, competing with War 2 could be challenging.

Reports suggest that Rajinikanth is reconsidering the release date of Coolie. He believes that releasing Coolie separately will give it a better chance to perform well. Since his recent films haven’t been very successful, he wants to ensure Coolie gets maximum attention. Also, since it is a big-budget film, taking any risk is not advisable.

If both films release separately, it will benefit the fans and the industry. Now, all eyes are on Rajinikanth’s final decision. Will Coolie compete with War 2, or will it release on a different date? The box office is waiting for an answer!

Tollywood star refers to heroine as aunty

Sobhan Babu, often referred to as the “handsome hero” of Tollywood captured the hearts of manym His fans still admire his famous hairstyle and the unique “Sobhan Babu ring” that became a trend. Known for his disciplined lifestyle, Sobhan Babu was also one of the few heroes who had a large female fan following alongside legendary actors like NTR and ANR.

He worked alongside several prominent actresses, including Jayaprada, Jayasudha, Sridevi and others. However, there was one actress whom Sobhan Babu fondly called “Aunty and Atha” – none other than Jayaprada. Despite their successful on-screen partnership, Sobhan Babu used to affectionately call her Atha some time and also as Aunty both on the sets.

Jayaprada herself revealed this in an interview with Jayasudha, where she shared stories of her time working with Sobhan Babu. Though she hasn’t mentioned a specific reason, she shared that Sobhan Babu used to tease her calling atha and aunty. The two starred in several hit films together, with their on-screen chemistry winning the audience’s love.

Sobhan Babu’s career was marked by his reluctance to take on supporting roles, and he retired early, avoiding media appearances. He valued his image as a leading man and stayed away from acting in any roles that would tarnish his heroic reputation.

After his retirement, Sobhan Babu lived a private life and made sure his photos didn’t surface in the media. He passed away in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of unmatched charm and discipline. His fans still remember him as one of the finest actors of Telugu cinema.

When a Superstar felt awkward acting with his on-screen pair

Jayasudha is a well-known actress in Telugu cinema famous for her natural acting. She has been in the industry for over 50 years and acted in more than 230 films. She worked with many legendary actors, including NTR, ANR, Krishna and Sobhan Babu.

Although Jayasudha shared great chemistry with most of her co-stars, she recently revealed that one star hero felt uncomfortable acting with her. Surprisingly, it was Superstar Krishna.

Krishna and Jayasudha acted in many successful films together such as Pandanti Kapuram, Mandegundelu, Pellala Rajyam, and Poratam. However, Krishna always felt uneasy while acting with her especially in romantic scenes.

The reason was their family relationship. Jayasudha is the niece of Krishna’s wife Vijaya Nirmala. This made Krishna see her as a family member. Since he had known her since childhood, acting in romantic scenes with her felt awkward.

In an interview, Jayasudha shared, “Krishna Garu was always hesitant to act with me in romantic scenes. Since I was related to his wife, he considered me as family. He even played my father in one movie. So, performing romantic scenes felt uncomfortable for him.”

She further added, “Even I felt a little uneasy at times. On set, Krishna Garu was very reserved. He spoke very little and usually just nodded in response to questions. He only talked when necessary.”

Despite this discomfort, both actors remained professional and delivered great performances on screen. Their films were loved by audiences, and they were considered a hit pair in Telugu cinema.

Uday Kiran missed THIS Prabhas blockbuster film

Uday Kiran was a well-known actor in the Telugu film industry, especially famous for his lover boy roles. He quickly became a star with a series of successful romantic films and earned a special place in the hearts of audiences, especially young girls. His popularity soared within just a few years, and he was seen as a future superstar.

At the time, Uday Kiran had a huge fan following, with girls flocking to his films. His fame even rivaled that of stars like NTR, Mahesh Babu, and Prabhas, who were still trying to find their footing in the industry. However, after a successful run, Uday Kiran’s films began to falter, and he struggled to maintain his stardom. Many of his films failed to perform well at the box office, and he couldn’t find a comeback project.

One of the biggest opportunities Uday Kiran missed was starring in the hit film “Varsham,” which became a massive success for Prabhas. Initially, Uday Kiran was considered for the role in “Varsham,” which was directed by Sobhan and produced by M. S. Raju. However, for unknown reasons, Uday Kiran backed out, and Prabhas took on the role, leading to a career breakthrough.

“Varsham” was released in 2004 and became a sensational hit, especially during the Sankranti festival. Prabhas’ performance in the film garnered much praise, and the movie’s success propelled him to stardom, which led him to become a global sensation. Had Uday Kiran taken up the role, he might have experienced a similar career trajectory.

Despite the challenges, Uday Kiran was remembered fondly by his fans. His unfortunate downfall and tragic end in 2014 left the Telugu audience mourning the loss of a talented actor.

Devara 2 Update:

నందమూరి తారక రామారావు జూనియర్ (జూనియర్ ఎన్టీఆర్), ప్రశాంత్ నీల్ కలసి చేస్తున్న పాన్-ఇండియా ప్రాజెక్ట్‌పై షూటింగ్ నెమ్మదిగా జరుగుతోంది. ప్రస్తుతం, ఎన్టీఆర్ పాల్గొనకపోయినా, ప్రీ-ప్రొడక్షన్ పనులు కొనసాగుతున్నాయి. ఎన్టీఆర్ తన ‘వార్ 2’ చిత్రాన్ని పూర్తి చేసిన తర్వాత, ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్‌పై పూర్తి స్థాయి షూటింగ్ ప్రారంభించాలని టీమ్ ప్లాన్ చేస్తోంది. ఈ చిత్రాన్ని భారీ స్థాయిలో నిర్మిస్తున్నందున, పూర్తి చేయడానికి సుమారు 18 నెలల నుండి రెండు సంవత్సరాల వరకు సమయం పట్టే అవకాశం ఉంది. అయితే, మేకర్స్ ఈ చిత్రాన్ని సంక్రాంతి 2026 నాటికి విడుదల చేయాలని ప్రకటించారు, కానీ ప్రస్తుత పరిస్థితుల్లో ఇది సాధ్యపడటం కష్టంగా కనిపిస్తోంది.

ముందుగా, ప్రశాంత్ నీల్ చిత్రానంతరం ‘దేవర 2’ వస్తుందని అందరూ అనుకున్నారు. కానీ, తాజా సమాచారం ప్రకారం, తమిళ దర్శకుడు నెల్సన్ దిలీప్‌కుమార్‌తో ఎన్టీఆర్ కొత్త ప్రాజెక్ట్‌పై చర్చలు జరుపుతున్నారని తెలుస్తోంది. నెల్సన్ ఒక కథను ఎన్టీఆర్‌కు వినిపించగా, ఆయనకు నచ్చి, మరింత అభివృద్ధి చేయమని సూచించారు. ఇది నిజమైతే, ప్రశాంత్ నీల్ ప్రాజెక్ట్ తర్వాత నెల్సన్ చిత్రమే ఎన్టీఆర్ తదుపరి ప్రాజెక్ట్ కావచ్చు.

‘దేవర 2’పై అనిశ్చితి ఉండటం ఈ ఊహాగానాలకు బలం చేకూరుస్తోంది. మేకర్స్ సీక్వెల్ ఉందని చెబుతున్నప్పటికీ, ఎన్టీఆర్ నుండి ఇంకా అధికారిక నిర్ధారణ లేదు. ‘దేవర’ చిత్రానికి, ముఖ్యంగా OTT విడుదల తర్వాత, నెగటివ్ స్పందన రావడంతో, సీక్వెల్‌పై స్పష్టత లేదు.

ఇదిలా ఉండగా, నెల్సన్ రజనీకాంత్‌తో ‘జైలర్ 2’పై పని చేయడానికి సిద్ధమవుతున్నారు, ఇది ‘కూలీ’ చిత్రం మేలో పూర్తయిన తర్వాత ప్రారంభమవుతుంది. ‘జైలర్ 2’కు కనీసం 18 నెలల సమయం అవసరం, కాబట్టి ఎన్టీఆర్ షెడ్యూల్ నెల్సన్ ప్రాజెక్ట్ టైమ్‌లైన్‌తో సరిపోవచ్చు. అయితే, ఇది ‘జైలర్ 2’ ఫలితంపై కూడా ఆధారపడుతుంది. తమిళంలో సీక్వెల్స్ అరుదుగా విజయవంతం అవుతున్నాయి, ఇటీవల ‘చంద్రముఖి 2’, ‘ఇండియన్ 2’ వంటి చిత్రాలు ఈ విషయాన్ని నిరూపించాయి.
