In the past, producers in the Telugu film industry would introduce their sons as heroes and make films. After that, heroes started introducing their sons as heroes. Now, directors have begun following the same path.

However, they aren’t limiting themselves to just “heroes”; they’re observing their children’s interests and passions in various departments and are striving to guide and establish their successors in those areas.

Recently, Encounter Shankar announced that his son would soon debut as a director, handing him the megaphone.

Now, Nallapoosalu Babji, recognized as a progressive director in the Telugu film industry, has announced that he is introducing his son, Sunny Akhil, as a hero to the Telugu screen! Not just an announcement, he has already produced the film “Police Vaari Hecharika” (Police Warning), introducing his son as the hero.

This film, produced by Belli Janardhan under the banner of Tulika Tanishk Creations, is set to be released on the 18th of this month in both Telugu states.
When a new hero is introduced to the silver screen, the film is naturally expected to be a teenage love story.

The hero is usually a college-going student. He wears stylish costumes, flirts with beautiful girls, sings romantic songs, and roams in parks or expensive foreign locations. Depending on the situation, he also fights villains who hinder his love.

New heroes are typically introduced to the audience with such roles and characteristics.However, Sunny Akhil, who is being introduced as a hero to the silver screen, is coming before the audience with a different role, contrary to expectations.

In this film, Sunny Akhil has acted in the rare and wonderful role of a “madman created by this system,” showcasing 100% of his acting prowess and ability to the outside world.

No new actor making their debut in the film industry has dared to be introduced to audiences with such a challenging and de-glamorous role.

Having touched the stage as a child artist in his early days, Sunny Akhil has entered the world of cinema carrying the experience of numerous performances as a theater artist. Perhaps that’s why he says, “My goal is to become a great actor like Kamal Haasan garu… If anyone asks me, ‘Are you a hero?’, I am a diverse actor… that’s all.”

What’s special is that Sunny Akhil has already acted as the hero in his second film even before his debut film has been released. He has also acted as the hero in “Pithapuramlo Alaa Modalaindi,” a film currently being produced by Chandra Mahesh, who previously directed super hit films like Preyasi Raave and Hanumantu.

This film has also completed shooting and is currently undergoing dubbing. It will also be ready for release soon. He is also listening to stories for two more films.
Best of luck, new hero.

Looking ahead, Allu Arjun’s trajectory promises even greater global impact. His upcoming projects, such as the highly anticipated collaboration with director Atlee (tentatively titled AA22 or A6), are being mounted on an international scale, featuring Hollywood VFX teams and aiming for a truly global audience.

As he continues to choose projects with international appeal and push cinematic boundaries, the world is undoubtedly ready for the “wildfire” that is Allu Arjun.

His journey is not just a personal triumph but a significant milestone for Indian cinema, paving the way for more diverse narratives and talents to shine on the world stage.

From Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty to Anushka Shetty, Pooja Hegde, and Rashmika Mandanna—Kannada actresses have been making waves across Indian cinema. Now, aspiring to join that illustrious list is Kannada beauty Rupali S.D., who also has Telugu roots.

Every police station in our country should become a part-time school
— that’s the core message of the film, getting released on July 11th 25.Telugu version coming later this month.

Malayalam cinema has earned immense respect and appreciation not just across India, but globally. Known for content-driven storytelling, the Malayalam industry is now offering another heart-touching film — Sootravaakyam. It is being released worldwide in Malayalam on the 11th by Zineverse Motion Pictures Pvt. Ltd. The same company will also release the film in Telugu under the same title!

Why should only criminals and victims visit police stations? Why can’t police officers use their free time to teach children? Why should the culture of fearing the police continue? Sootravaakyam” is based on this powerful, revolutionary thought — combined with entertainment — and is set to become a memorable film in Indian cinema history.

Producers Lavanya Devi Kandregula and Srikanth Kandregula of Cinema Bandi fame express pride in producing such a meaningful story. Directed by talented newcomer Ujiyan Jass Chirammal, the film is produced under the Cinema Bandi Productions banner. The cast includes Shine Tom Chacko, Vinci Aloysius, Deepak Parambol, Meenakshi Madhavi, and Divya M. Nair, with producer Srikanth Kandrege himself also playing a key role.

With screenplay by Rejin S. Babu, cinematography by Sriram Chandrasekharan, music by Jean P. Johnson, and editing by Nithin K.T.R, this film brings a unique story that reimagines the purpose of police stations.

The film draws inspiration from real-life counseling programs initiated at the Vidur Police Station in Kerala during the COVID period, aimed at boosting youth morale and helping them rediscover their dreams and aspirations.

“Sootravaakyam” is set for release in 14 countries worldwide, apart from India marking it a truly global story.

Upasana Kamineni Konidela is a strong believer in spirituality. Recently, she spoke about her devotion to Sai Baba. “My husband is devoted to Ayyappa Swamy, and I have faith in Sai Baba.

Since childhood, my grandparents and parents at home were very devout. Once, during a difficult time in my life, they told me to ‘perform the Sai Baba vratam (ritual) just once.’ Unexpected changes began in my life only after I started reading that story,” Upasana shared.

When I was entering the film industry, a great person I met was Sri Shivashakti Datta Garu. He taught me a great deal about literature, the guru-disciple relationship, and my perspective on cinema concerning social issues. As everyone knows, he was not only a writer and director but also a great painter.

I had the privilege of organizing exhibitions of his self-painted oil paintings. In 2012, I actively worked on the exhibition program of his paintings. It was then that Sri Shivashakti Datta Garu introduced me to prominent personalities like SS. Rajamouli Garu, Raghavendra Rao Garu, Rama Naidu Garu, Krish Garu, and M.M. Keeravani Garu.

After that, our journey together was very emotional. He used to visit our home and spend the whole day cheerfully with us. We all used to celebrate his birthday as well.

If I keep recounting, there are countless memories…
Beyond all this, his knowledge of film stories was immense. He taught me the process of writing film stories and introduced a new approach to Telugu grammar and Telugu literature.

The acquaintance with Shivashakti Garu is a priceless memory I gained in my life.
It’s very saddening that he has left us all yesterday. Telugu cinema has lost a cultural treasure.
