Riya Jithu,Sunil Kriplani,Cell Murugan,
Trupti Ravindra,Master Keshav,Harini Sundararajan.

Producer: Vijay Antony

Director: Arun Prabhu

Release date: Sept 19th 2025

The film is a political action thriller. The story  revolves around a fearless secretariat broker  who fights for people and takes on a “ruthless powerhouse.”

Its Kittu(Vijay) take on the system for the distribution of government welfare/benefits for the common man, in the process Vijay goes against chief economic power/ Industrialist(Sunil Kriplani) and Delhi bosses sponsored by Economic power.

Vijay lobbying at times looks simple logic less and simple, too many phone conversations to show lobbying to run the story confuse the audience.

It’s  Robinhood kind of a movie where the protagonist gets money from the rich and powerful from the system and distributes to downtrodden and poor.

It’s an OTT movie with no special elements to make it to watch on big screen.

Attitude Star Chandrahass’ ‘Coin’ First Flip Launch by Sensational Director Sai Rajesh, On The Occasion Of The Actor’s Birthday

0

In an effort to continuously engage audiences, Attitude Star Chandrahass is working on a series of films. His latest, ‘Coin,’ is directed by Jairam Chitikeala and produced by Srikanth Rajarathnam. To celebrate Chandrahass’s birthday on September 17, the movie’s glimpse and title poster were released on Wednesday.

At the launch event, director Sai Rajesh said, “I hope new talent enters the industry with the film ‘Coin.’ I have known Prabhakar Garu for many years. I’ve known Chandrahass since he was a child. When they narrated the story, I was shocked to learn so much revolved around a ‘Coin.’ I’m confident that the hype around the film will grow even more after the trailer is released. All the best to the team.”

Attitude Star Chandrahass stated, “Our director Jairam is making ‘Coin’ based on real events. He wrote a fantastic story based on the banning and melting of old five-rupee coins and the crimes that unfolded as a result. I really like Jairam’s work ethic and believe he will become a star director in the future. Thanks to Sai Rajesh sir for coming to launch the ‘Coin’ First Flip. I believe Nimishi, our music director, will reach great heights. Srikanth Rajarathnam is a very passionate producer who has a lot of faith in the story. I don’t consider the genre when I like a story; I try to do all kinds of films. I am the one who gives final approval for the story and films, though my father occasionally gives advice. I’m always working hard to live up to the trust of those who support me and to answer those who troll me.”

Director Jairam Chitikeala said, “Thanks to Sai Rajesh sir for coming for us. I’m making this film with the premise of why the five-rupee coin was banned. I’ll reveal more about this movie in the future. I hope everyone liked our First Flip. I gave the First Flip as a birthday gift to our hero Chandrahass. I saw his ‘RRR’ cover song and was so impressed by his energy that I narrated this story to him. Chandrahass believed in this story even more than I did. Nimishi’s music is going to be amazing. We’ll be releasing our film in the summer.”

Music director Nimishi Jackias said, “Director Jairam is my friend, and we’ve had a bond for four years. Thanks to Jairam for giving me a chance on this movie. Jairam told me five days ago that he wanted to release the glimpse for Chandrahass’s birthday. He sent me the footage two days ago, and I worked day and night to get this First Flip ready. This film’s music is turning out great.”

Line producer Gangadhar stated, “Sai Rajesh hired me as a line producer for ‘Colour Photo.’ I’ve known Jairam for a long time. Chandrahass really liked the songs Jairam created. After hearing the story, he agreed to the project. Hats off to Chandrahass for recognizing Jairam’s talent. The media always supports new and small films, and I’m confident they’ll do the same for ‘Coin’.”

Intermittent eve teasing cases in India

0

The term “eve teasing,” a phrase common in India and other parts of South Asia, is a deceptive euphemism for a grave and pervasive social problem: public sexual harassment of women.

This menace, which includes everything from lewd comments and leering to more aggressive physical acts like groping and stalking, is a daily reality for millions of women and girls.

It is not a harmless act of “teasing,” but a serious crime that infringes upon a woman’s fundamental rights to safety, dignity, and freedom of movement.


The Multifaceted Impact on Women
The effects of eve teasing are profound and far-reaching, extending beyond the immediate moment of harassment.
* Psychological Toll: Victims often experience a range of emotions including fear, shame, embarrassment, and anxiety. The constant state of hypervigilance required to navigate public spaces can lead to long-term psychological distress, affecting mental health and well-being.
* Restriction of Freedom: The fear of harassment forces women to self-impose restrictions on their lives. They may avoid certain routes, times of the day, or even public transport, limiting their access to education, work, and social activities. This directly impacts their socio-economic opportunities and independence.
* Normalization and Victim-Blaming: A deeply troubling aspect of this issue is its normalization in society. Often, the victim is blamed for the harassment, with questions raised about her attire, her presence in a particular location, or her behavior. This victim-blaming culture discourages reporting and allows perpetrators to act with impunity.


The Social and Cultural Roots
The roots of this menace are deeply embedded in India’s patriarchal society.
* Patriarchal Mindset: A male-dominated social structure fosters a sense of entitlement among men, where they view women as objects and believe they have the right to assert their dominance in public spaces.
* Influence of Media: While this has been changing, some depictions in Indian cinema and popular culture have, in the past, glorified acts of “eve teasing” as a romantic pursuit, blurring the lines between harassment and courtship and sending a dangerous message to society.
* Lack of Accountability: A widespread lack of accountability for offenders, coupled with low conviction rates, reinforces the belief that such acts have no serious consequences.
* Gender-Biased Socialization: The way boys and girls are raised often perpetuates this problem. Boys are frequently given more freedom and a sense of authority, while girls are taught to be submissive and cautious, further entrenching the power imbalance.


Legal Provisions and the Roadblocks to Justice
While there is no specific law titled “Eve Teasing,” various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) address the acts that constitute it:
* Section 294: Deals with obscene acts or songs in a public place.
* Section 354 and 354A: Cover assault or criminal force with the intent to outrage a woman’s modesty and explicitly define sexual harassment as a punishable offense.
* Section 509: Punishes words, gestures, or acts intended to insult the modesty of a woman.
* Section 354D: Specifically criminalizes stalking.


Despite these legal provisions, the implementation of these laws is often weak. Many victims are hesitant to report for fear of social stigma, a long and cumbersome legal process, and a lack of faith in the system. The police, at times, also trivialize the complaints or suggest a compromise, rather than registering a formal case and initiating a proper investigation.


A Way Forward: Collective Action for Change
Eradicating this menace requires a comprehensive and multi-pronged strategy.
* Gender Sensitization and Education: It is critical to initiate gender sensitization programs in schools, colleges, and at the community level. Education on consent, respect for women, and gender equality from a young age is paramount to changing mindsets.
* Strengthening Law Enforcement: Law enforcement agencies must be better trained to handle cases of sexual harassment with sensitivity and efficiency. Creating a more victim-friendly reporting system and ensuring swift justice for perpetrators will encourage more women to come forward.
* Community and Family Involvement: Society must stop normalizing and trivializing “eve teasing.” Families and communities must actively support victims and hold perpetrators accountable.
* Public Awareness Campaigns: The media and civil society organizations have a crucial role to play in raising awareness about the severity of this issue and challenging the social norms that allow it to persist.


“Eve teasing” is not a minor inconvenience; it is a serious threat to the safety and freedom of women in India. Addressing this menace is not just about enforcing laws; it is about fundamentally changing a patriarchal mindset and building a society where every woman can walk freely and with dignity, without fear.

The Great Pre Wedding Show is headlined by Thiruveer and Teena Sravya

A comedy drama titled The Great Pre-Wedding Show is up for release. Featuring the versatile actor Thiruveer and Teena Sravya in the lead roles, it is produced by Sanddeep Agaram and Ashmita Reddy Basani under the banners of 7 PM Productions and Puppet Show Productions. Rahul Srinivas is directing the film, which is scheduled for release in theatres on November 7th.

The film’s unit today released a teaser through Rowdy Star Vijay Deverakonda and sensible director Sekhar Kammula. Vijay Deverakonda, sharing the teaser on social media, wrote, “I have known Thiruveer from before the world knew me. And I am so happy to see him live his dreams! Here is the teaser of #TheGreatPreWeddingShow. A very interesting and relatable premise which Looks like a breezy ride! Best wishes to Thiruveer and the entire team (sic).”

Coming to the teaser, the male lead runs his own studio and enjoys a sought-after status in his area. “In this whole mandal, whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or pre-wedding, I am the go-to guy for shoots,” the protagonist says. This opening line sets the tone for his characterization. The rom-com track is interesting. “Can we use your photo for our studio gallery?” he asks the female lead in a cheery tone. When the heroine asks him why, he doesn’t mince words to compliment her on her looks. Her response suggests that the romantic track is going to be about sweet-nothings and flirtations. These dialogues hint at the cool nature of the love track between the hero and heroine.

At one point, the hero agrees to do a pre-wedding shoot, and the scenes show him getting troubled by the bride’s mother’s rules during the shoot. In the final moments of the teaser, he asks his assistant, “Does this dress look good?” only to be told that he looks like a hero. This is a funny moment that gives viewers a taste of the film’s humor and vibe.

Thiruveer, Teena Sravya, and Master Rohan’s performances are impressive. Suresh Bobbili’s music and background score, along with K. Soma Sekhar’s cinematography, are assets to the film. Naresh Adupa is handling the editing responsibilities.

“The role of ‘Kanmani’ that I played in the film ‘OG’ will always hold a special place in my heart,” says lead actress Priyanka Arul Mohan.

“OG is not just about action… it also has a strong storyline and a family drama,” says lead actress Priyanka Arul Mohan.

The film OG is one that fans of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, along with cinema lovers across the world, are eagerly waiting for. Produced on a grand scale under the banner of DVV Entertainment by DVV Danayya and Kalyan Dasari, the film is directed by Sujeeth. In OG, Pawan Kalyan will be seen in a powerful role, and Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the lead actress. With its worldwide release scheduled for September 25, expectations are sky-high. The recently released glimpse and songs have already captivated audiences, and the trailer is expected soon. As the release date draws near, the team has stepped up promotional activities. In this context, Priyanka Arul Mohan spoke to the media and shared several interesting details about the film.

Tell us about your journey with Pawan Kalyan in OG.
My journey with OG has been for almost two and a half years. I’ll never forget this experience. I consider it a privilege to have acted alongside Pawan Kalyan. Playing the role of Kanmani in this film feels even more fortunate. Out of all the roles I’ve done so far, Kanmani is one of my favorites. This character will always have a special place in my heart. Working with Pawan Kalyan is a blessing every day. I’ve learned so much from him. He’s a gentleman and treats everyone equally. On and off screen, he’s a real hero.

How did you come on board this project?
After the film was announced, the director narrated the story to me. I loved it instantly and agreed to be a part of it. I also loved the role of Kanmani. On top of that, it’s a Pawan Kalyan film, directed by Sujeeth, and produced by DVV Entertainment. What more could I ask for to say yes to this film?

What kind of role is Kanmani?
The story is set in the 1980s–1990s. The way the character is shaped and the styling are all in line with that period. Kanmani is an innocent, sweet girl. She’s deeply in love with Gambheera and plays a key role in turning his life around.

Did you expect the kind of response the song ‘Suvvi Suvvi’ is getting?
This is my first time working with Thaman. He brought a distinct sound to every song. The first song he composed for this film was ‘Suvvi Suvvi’. I couldn’t wait for everyone to hear it. Seeing how much people are loving it after the release makes me really happy.

Were you aware of Pawan Kalyan’s craze beforehand?
His craze is limitless. Even when I was in Bangalore, I knew about it. But working with him personally made me realize that his popularity is even more than I imagined. Despite all the fame, he remains grounded. He’s a down-to-earth person and very simple.

What would he talk about on set?
Mostly about books. He talks about the stories and novels he’s read. He discusses history and sometimes movies and politics. Above all, he talks a lot about people.

Does he give suggestions during shooting?
Before shooting a scene, he discusses it with the director and the actors. He offers insightful suggestions that help the film. As an actor, he makes his role seem very easy. There’s so much to learn from him.

Have you seen the film yet?
Not fully yet. I’ve seen some scenes and the visuals are stunning.

Since this is an action film, is there family drama too?
Definitely. Action is only one part of it. There’s a strong storyline and a family drama as well.

How is Pawan Kalyan on set after becoming Deputy CM?
He seems much calmer and more responsible now. He spends a lot of time thinking about people—how the youth are doing, what’s happening in politics. Being a Deputy CM is not a small thing, and he’s handling his responsibilities admirably.

What’s it like working with director Sujeeth?
He’s very clear about how a scene should be shot and how to get the best performances from actors. If my character and look turned out well, it’s thanks to him.

How’s it working with DVV Entertainment?
It feels like home. I’m lucky to have the chance to do two films with the banner. Honestly, OG was the first film I agreed to, though Saripoda Sanivaram released before it. The producers, Danayya sir and Kalyan sir, are wonderful people, and I have immense respect for them.

What are your upcoming projects?
I’m listening to a few stories in Telugu, and I’m also working on films in other languages.

Girls will be reminded of their fathers and will not be able to hold back tears, while watching Beauty: Senior actor VK Naresh, actress Vasuki

0

Produced by Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala and Umesh Kumar Bhansal, with Ankith Koya and Nilakhi in the lead, the forthcoming venture Beauty is jointly backed by Zee Studios, Maruthi Team Product, and Vanara Celluloid. Written and directed by JSS Vardhan, known for Geetha Subramanyam, Hello World, and Bhale Unnade, the film’s story and screenplay were penned by RV Subrahmanyam. Beauty is set to release on September 19, and its teaser, trailer, and songs have already attracted wide appreciation.

Speaking about the film, VK Naresh said: “The soul and the theme itself are what make Beauty truly beautiful. Writer Subbu’s story has been wonderfully brought to life by director Vardhan. This film is a symphony of craft—everything has fallen into place perfectly. These days, films combining both entertainment and emotion have become rare, but Beauty has both. What audiences want today is organic storytellin

g without forced cinematic liberties, and this film achieves just that.

I’m confident about this film that I even challenged in an interview—if anyone feels it’s not organic, I’ll give them one lakh rupees. The interval will leave viewers amazed, and the second half speaks for itself. The soul of the film is its strength, as Maruthi Garu rightly said at the pre-release event. This is a movie families can watch together, crafted without flaws, thanks to the combined efforts of Vanara Celluloids, Zee Studios, and Maruthi Team Product.

I was deeply moved by the father-daughter emotion woven into the story. In most films, we see mother-son bonds highlighted, but father-daughter relationships are rarely brought to the screen. Watching this film, girls will be reminded of their fathers and will not be able to hold back tears. At home, when everything is mother, it is the father who stands strong like the compound wall. That emotion is the true beauty of this film.”

Naresh also praised Vasuki’s peak-level method acting, hailed Ankit’s surprising performance, and commended the camerawork, art design, music, and the realistic writing which, he noted, came from a journalist’s pen.

Sharing her perspective, Vasuki said: “This film carries just the right amount of emotion, and you have to react authentically to it. As a mother myself, I found the story’s point very relatable. Every mother and daughter will connect with its essence of responsibility and understanding. Strictness as a parent is common, but it’s equally important to see what children feel from their perspective.

I even showed it to my own daughter, who gave me an honest review and said it gave her new awareness. She even thanked the director personally for crafting something so relatable. In today’s generation, you can’t scold children into understanding—you have to guide them gently, and that’s exactly what this film does.

For me, Naresh Sir is the pillar of the movie. The father-daughter emotion in the second half struck me deeply, reminding me of my own father. Ankit is a sensitive actor—unlike the standard heroes, he knows what he’s doing and will go far. Ultimately, Beauty revolves around the world of today’s young women and their bond with their fathers. I truly believe girls who watch this film will reconcile differences with their fathers and strengthen those relationships.”
