Actor Vishal is gearing up for his most ambitious next project Makutam, which marks the 99th film under the prestigious Super Good Films banner, produced by RB Choudary. Interestingly, Vishal is also taking on the roles of director and screenplay writer, adding a strong personal creative touch to the film. From the posters and early promotional material released so far, Makutam appears to be a distinctive action entertainer with a fresh narrative approach. Adding to the excitement, it has now been officially confirmed that actress Anjali will star opposite Vishal. The duo, known for their successful collaborations and strong on-screen chemistry, are reuniting once again, raising expectations.

To announce her inclusion, the makers released a quirky and engaging concept video featuring both Vishal and Anjali. The video unfolds like a mock narration session, with Vishal, as the director, approaching Anjali to pitch the story. However, instead of listening quietly, Anjali playfully interrupts him at every turn. When Vishal begins with a typical line like “It’s a beautiful village…,” she humorously cuts him off, saying such details are the production team’s responsibility and urging him to get to the actual story.

As Vishal continues narrating in a rather vague manner, Anjali keeps delivering witty jabs and sarcastic remarks. Eventually, she bluntly questions whether he even has a proper story, leaving Vishal flustered. Unable to handle her sharp counters, he comically walks away, promising to return with a better narration the next day. The video ends on a humorous note, highlighting their natural chemistry and comic timing.

The entertaining concept video has sparked laughter and has quickly gone viral across social media platforms, drawing praise for its creativity and humor.

On the technical front, the music for Makutam is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, while cinematography is handled by Richard M Nathan. NB Srikanth serves as the editor, and Durairaj is in charge of art direction.

Murali Mohan and Ananya Nagalla play the lead roles in the upcoming film “The Breaking News.” Directed by Pavan Kadiyala, the film recently had its first look unveiled by megastar Chiranjeevi.

The makers have now released another exclusive piece of content. A making glimpse titled “Making of Viswa” has been unveiled, offering a look into Murali Mohan’s character, which appears intense and serious in tone.
The film is slated for release in May 2026. It is being produced by Hanumanth Reddy under the banner of Open Sky Creations.

The film Gedela Raju, starring renowned singer and music director Raghu Kunche in the title role, was released yesterday (April 24). Marking the directorial debut of Chaitanya Moturi, the film showcases Raghu Kunche not only delivering complete justice to his role as an actor but also proving his excellence as a music composer.

The non-linear screenplay chosen by the debut director—shifting back and forth in time—does create slight confusion at places. Additionally, there seem to be some compromises in casting. However, setting aside these minor drawbacks, the film remains engaging from start to finish.
The opening and climax, in particular, are highly gripping. Except for one or two, the cast has performed convincingly, blending well into their respective roles. The director certainly shows promise and has a bright future ahead.
Raghu Kunche also makes a strong statement that filmmakers need not look to other regions for powerful antagonist roles. The songs he composed for this film are deeply soulful. Especially, the track “Urike Chirugali Encheyyamantade” feels soothing and pleasant throughout. His background score further elevates the scenes, making them more impactful and emotionally engaging.

The makers of Kara, starring Dhanush and directed by Vignesh Raja, have released the Kara Official Telugu Teaser, marking a decisive push into the Telugu market ahead of the film’s theatrical arrival on April 30, 2026. With this, the film sharpens its presence among Telugu audiences, who have already been tracking its content across languages.

Presented in Telugu by CH Sathish Kumar & Rajesh Kumar Bobbara under Vigneswara Entertainments – R Star Logistics, the film is set for a wide theatrical rollout across the Telugu States. Backed by Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh under Vels Film International Ltd, in association with Think Studios and Vigneswara Entertainments, Kara has been steadily positioning itself as a cross-market film drawing attention beyond its primary language.

The Kara Official Telugu Teaser stands apart in its approach. Instead of revealing plot details, it establishes mood, terrain, and character. Framed within a stark, lived-in landscape, the teaser introduces Dhanush in a stripped-down, unembellished form, where stillness and observation replace conventional hero-driven beats. The emphasis is not on spectacle, but on the weight carried by the character himself, suggesting a figure shaped by circumstance and consequence.

Director Vignesh Raja, who earned critical recognition for Por Thozhil, appears to extend his preference for controlled storytelling here as well. The teaser signals a film that leans into atmosphere and character dynamics, rather than overt exposition, allowing intrigue to build through suggestion rather than declaration.

Audience engagement around Kara has been gradually intensifying. The Telugu track from the movie, Kannamma Naa Kannamma has crossed 4.1 million views, indicating a strong emotional response. In parallel, Telugu viewers have been actively following Tamil-language songs, promotional material, and interviews, reflecting the film’s growing resonance across linguistic boundaries.

With a proven connection to Telugu audiences through films like Raghuvaran B.Tech (VIP), Asuran, and Saar (Vaathi), Dhanush returns with a role that appears to prioritize internal conflict and performance depth. The film also stars Mamitha Baiju alongside an experienced ensemble including Jayaram, K. S. Ravikumar, Karunas, and M. S. Bhaskar.

Technically, Kara is supported by a team known for craft-driven work. Cinematographer Theni Eswar brings a grounded visual approach, while editor Sreejith Sarang shapes the film’s rhythm with precision. Music is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, continuing his long-standing collaboration with Dhanush. The action design is handled by Dinesh Kasi, with Mayapandi as art director. Costume design by Dinesh Manoharan and Kavya Sriraam, along with makeup by Raja and special makeup by Promeon Xavier, contribute to the film’s textured world.

With the teaser now reaching Telugu audiences, Kara continues to build as a film centered on character, setting, and controlled storytelling, positioning itself for a strong theatrical reception.

April 30, 2026 – ‘Kara’ arrives in Telugu theatres.

Renowned hairstylist Ram Koniki, who has earned immense recognition in the Telugu film industry for styling leading Tollywood stars and celebrities, has now expanded his expertise into the world of skincare with the launch of his new venture, “Koniki Luxe.”

The grand launch of Koniki Luxe Skin Care was inaugurated by actress Ananya Nagalla at Koniki Salon, located on Road No. 45, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. This new initiative is introduced under the expert leadership of dermatologist Dr. Alekhya Reddy, ensuring advanced and professional skincare solutions.

Koniki Luxe aims to provide high-quality, personalized skincare treatments using certified equipment and cutting-edge technology. The clinic follows strict medical protocols and offers a wide range of clinical skin treatments under the supervision of experienced professionals.

The intrigue around Agadha continues to deepen as the makers unveil another key character from this mystical world. After revealing Mahadevi, the team has now introduced the male lead of the film.

The latest poster presents Shravan Reddy as Simha. This is an interesting coincidence as Shravan was earlier introduced to Telugu cinema by Raju with Dirty Hari film.

Set against a dark and smoky backdrop, the poster captures Shravan Reddy holding a blazing torch in his hand, its fire being the only source of light piercing through the darkness. His intense gaze, alert posture, and the dramatic lighting suggest that Simha is a man navigating through fear, mystery, and unknown forces. The shadows around him and the raw flame he carries hint that his character is on a dangerous path, possibly searching for truth or confronting something beyond human understanding.

The design of the poster maintains the mystical tone established earlier, with the fiery Agadha title looming above and an atmosphere filled with suspense and spiritual tension. Simha’s rugged appearance and determined expression indicate that he plays a crucial role in unfolding the mystery that surrounds the divine and mystical elements of the story.

Being made on a grand scale under the banner of Sri Adi Varaha Productions, the film is produced by Kasi Visalakshi Balusu and written and directed by M. S. Raju.

With 85 days of shoot, extensive set work, and nearly 45 minutes of VFX, Agadha promises a unique cinematic experience. The film is being made simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi and is currently in post production.
