Following the super success of the 2020 Tamil film “Draupathi”, popular actor Richard Rishi is returning with the sequel, “Draupathi 2”. This much-anticipated historical action drama is currently in production, mounted on a grand scale by Netaji Productions, in association with Chola Chakravarthy, and produced by G. M Film Corporation. The film is directed by Mohan G., known for films such as Pazhaya Vannarapettai, Draupathi, Rudra Thandavam, and Bagasuran.

On the auspicious occasion of Sri Vinayaka Chavithi, the makers have unveiled the first look poster today, raising expectations for the film’s grand theatrical release later this year in both Tamil and Telugu.

Set in the 14th century, the film explores the blood-stained history of Hoysala emperor Veera Vallalar III, who ruled South India with Thiruvannamalai as his capital, along with the bravery of the Kadavarayas of Sendhamangalam. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Mughal invasion of Tamil Nadu.

Around 75% of the film’s shoot took place extensively in Mumbai, and a few other key portions were also shot in Senji, Thiruvannamalai, and Kerala.

A major highlight is how this epic historical narrative connects with the story of the first part, Draupathi, making this the much-awaited second instalment in the franchise.

Talented actress Rakshana Indusudan will be seen as the female lead in the movie. The cast also features an ensemble of actors, Natti Natraj, Y. G. Mahendran, Nadodigal Barani, Saravana Subbiah, Vel Ramamoorthy, Siraj Johnny, Dinesh Lamba, Ganesh Gaurang, Divi, Devayani Sharma, and Arunodayan in pivotal roles.

Get ready to experience the saga of Hoysala emperor Veera Vallalar III and the Kadavarayar kings of Senthamangalam, a story etched in valour, sacrifice, and blood-soaked history. Draupauthi 2 hitting theatres in Tamil & Telugu soon.

Vadde Naveen is making a comeback as a hero after nearly a decade. The name of the film he is starring in is “Transfer Thrimurthulu.”

This is a full-fledged comedy entertainer, and the specialty of this project is that Naveen is not only acting as the hero but is also taking on the responsibilities of a producer and co-writer.

The film is being produced under Vadde Naveen’s own banner, Vadde Creations.

The director of this film is Kamal Teja Narla. More than eighty percent of the film’s shooting has already been completed. The recently released first-look poster and teaser have received a good response.

A special attraction in the film is that Naveen appears in a constable’s getup. Raashi Singh is playing the female lead, and others, including Raghu Babu, will be seen in key roles. Naveen’s last appearance was as a villain in the film Attack (2016). The release date will be officially announced soon.

As “Kalki-2” is likely to be further delayed due to various reasons, it is reported that Naga Ashwin is trying to do another project in the meantime.

Although a female-oriented film with Alia Bhatt was planned, for some reason, it didn’t materialize. At one point, even Megastar showed interest in doing a film with Naga Ashwin. But that too stopped at the discussion stage.

However, according to the latest information, news is circulating in Chennai that there is a possibility of a film with superstar Rajinikanth.

It is reported that Rajini liked the story line narrated by the director of Kalki, and Ashwin is preparing for a full narration, and an announcement regarding this will be made soon.

Yash Raj Films had a bad experience with the film “War 2”. The film caused significant losses for Suryadevara Nagavamsi, who acquired its Telugu rights.

Because of this, it is understood that Yash Raj Films has shelved the solo film they had planned with NTR. Currently, the studio has pinned all its hopes on “Alpha,” the film they are making with Alia Bhatt.

As much as I enjoyed making it, the audience will also enjoy watching it crazily.
Nara Rohit

Hero Nara Rohit’s milestone 20th film is ‘Sundarakanda’. It is being directed by debutant Venkatesh Nimmalapudi and produced by Santhosh Chinnapolli, Gowtham Reddy, and Rakesh Mahankali under the Sandeep Picture Palace (SPP) banner. Vruthi Vaghani and Sri Devi Vijaykumar are the heroines. In a press conference ahead of the film’s release tomorrow, Nara Rohit shared details about the movie.

* “I was actually supposed to make my comeback with ‘Sundarakanda’. We started the script work for this film back in 2022. I was nervous when director Venkatesh told me the idea. But he came prepared with about 30 scenes, and I really liked them. That’s how we started the project. The audience will have a smile on their face throughout the film.”

* “Director Venkatesh has been traveling with me for five years now. We discussed this film a lot, and all those discussions helped us immensely. This story is very new for this generation. I really enjoyed playing this character. ‘Sundarakanda’ is a very clean film with a very fresh treatment of scenes. It’s a film that everyone will connect with.”

* “My character in this film has some limitations. It’s very interesting to see him searching for a girl with the qualities he desires, even after turning 30. It’s a complicated character, and the fun is created from that very complication.”

Tribanadhari Barbarik
Producer: Vijay Paul Reddy Adidala

“Tribanadhari Barbarik,” a film produced by Vijay Paul Reddy Adidala under the Vanara Celluloid banner, is presented by star director Maruthi. Directed by Mohan Srivatsa, the movie features prominent roles played by Sathyaraj, Udaya Bhanu, Vasishta N. Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Kranthi Kiran, and Sanchay Rai.

The film is set to be released on August 29th, and producer Vijay Paul Reddy Adidala shared some insights about it.

“I was busy with my businesses when Mohan told me the story, and I really liked it. Initially, we planned to make the movie with a small budget. Afterward, I met with Maruthi, who advised me to either make the film well or not at all. That’s when I decided to produce the movie on a large scale,” he said.

“This is a new kind of story and is very thrilling. We filmed it very naturally, similar to how films are made in Malayalam. We also added commercial elements that the Telugu audience will enjoy. Even though we initially wanted to make it on a smaller scale, we ended up producing it on a grand scale because the story demanded it,” he added.

“The way we told this story by adding a mythological genre is what makes it unique. We held premieres in Warangal and Vijayawada, where we received a fantastic response. Many people who watched the film were moved to tears and said the movie was amazing. That gave us a lot of satisfaction,” he concluded.
