Telugu audiences are buzzing about the latest thriller sensation, The Hunter – Chapter 1, which has started streaming exclusively on Aha. This gripping suspense drama, starring the very talented Vaibhav Reddy, has quickly captured viewers attention, generating massive appreciation and chatter across social platforms. Cine goers are praising its edge-of-the-seat narrative, and the film’s impressive digital debut is setting new benchmarks for Telugu thrillers on OTT.

Originally made in Tamil as Ranam Aram Thavarel, The Hunter – Chapter 1 finds new life with its Telugu dub, expertly crafted to engage audiences who love taut mysteries and unexpected twists. Directed by Sherief, the story centers on Aadhi (Vaibhav Reddy), a man haunted by a traumatic past, who’s thrust into a dark web of disappearances that shake the city to its core. The chase unravels layers of secrets, testing every character’s limits and blurring the line between good and evil.

The film’s success owes much to Vaibhav’s intense, nuanced performance. Nandita Swetha adds emotional gravitas, while Tanya Hope’s enigmatic portrayal leaves a lasting impact. Critics and viewers alike have lauded the ensemble’s chemistry and the film’s tight pacing, noting that the suspense remains unrelenting from start to finish. Music is composed by Arrol Corelli, while Balaji K Raja handled cinematography.

At just two hours, The Hunter – Chapter 1 wastes no time in drawing audiences into its atmospheric, moody world. As word of mouth spreads, the film has emerged as a must-watch for lovers of enthralling crime dramas and cleverly-plotted thrillers.

Isha is an upcoming horror thriller directed by Srinivas Manne, featuring an impressive ensemble that includes Thrigun, Akhil Raj, Hebah Patel, Siri Hanmanth, and Babloo Prithveeraj in key roles. Backed by Pothula Hema Venkateswara Rao under the HVR Productions banner.

The team recently unveiled a gripping teaser that gives audiences a first glimpse into the eerie world of Isha. The newly released glimpse opens with a group of schoolchildren discussing ghost stories before plunging into a series of disturbing visuals and a tense soundscape.

As the narrative hints at the characters’ haunting encounters and the terrifying mysteries surrounding an abandoned house, the film promises an intense cinematic experience. Isha is scheduled to hit the big screens on December 12th, 2025.

Presented by KL Damodar Prasad, the film boasts music by RR Dhruvan and visuals crafted by cinematographer Santosh Sanamoni. Producers Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati, who delivered consecutive successes with Little Hearts and Raju Weds Rambai, are now set to bring this chilling project to theatres.

Known for supporting strong, content-first storytelling, the duo is backing Isha to continue their streak of impactful and engaging films. Their involvement has already raised expectations for the movie among industry circles and audiences alike.

Following the release of the first single “EmKoney” (Nelaraaje – Telugu) from the upcoming film Draupathi 2, director Mohan G has responded to public criticism surrounding the track and the involvement of singer Chinmayi Sripaada.

Chinmayi, who performed the song, issued a public apology shortly after its release, stating that she had been unaware of the film’s ideological background at the time of recording. She added that had she known more about the project, she would have declined to participate.

In a statement, Mohan G expressed disappointment over the apology, noting that he personally chose Chinmayi for the song and that the recording session was conducted without the music composer present. According to him, Chinmayi had been briefed solely on the tonal style required for the track, and no contextual or ideological details were discussed.

The director said he was surprised that Chinmayi made her statement without seeking clarification from him or the composer. He called on her to either clarify her remarks or consider removing the tweet.

Mohan G also urged the public not to target other members of the film’s cast and crew, stressing that criticism should be directed at him alone. Targeting collaborators, he said, amounted to “cowardice.”

Questioning Chinmayi’s reference to “contradictory ideologies,” he remarked that her surname “Sripaada” itself indicates a connection to faith, suggesting he was unclear about the ideological differences she was referring to.

A star has emerged in the vibrant world of cinema-fearless, determined, and self-made. Young actress Hema Pothana continues her journey in films with unwavering confidence, overcoming every obstacle in her path. With beauty, talent, and emotional depth, she is carving out a promising future in the Telugu film industry. Despite losing her parents at a young age, she turned grief into strength and shaped her life with her own hands.

Hailing from Vijayawada, Hema grew up holding tight to two values that defined her personality-curiosity and courage. Even with the void created by her parents’ loss, she refused to give in to sorrow. With a clear determination-“I will build my own life”-she moved to Hyderabad. That courage led her to a significant milestone: in 2013, she was crowned Miss Hyderabad, a turning point that opened doors to new beginnings.

Driven by her love for cinema, Hema stepped into Tollywood and showcased her talent in films like 100% Love, Chalaki, Coffee Bar, Raj, and more. But life had an unexpected twist in store. A horrific road accident shook her world, leaving her in a critical condition-one that even doctors doubted she would recover from. But Hema did not give up. She stood up again, stronger than ever. The accident did not stop her; it transformed her into a more determined version of herself.

Now, Hema is playing the lead role in an upcoming rural-themed film titled “Madam”. With its emotionally rich storyline and substantial scope for performance, she aims to elevate her acting skills and reach new heights through this project.

Though she entered the industry without a godfather, her self-confidence, perseverance, discipline, and hard work helped her secure opportunities one after another. The audience’s appreciation for her is steadily growing.

Hema Pothana’s journey is more than a film career-it is a story of resilience, courage, and the will to rise above hardships. With every step forward, she is earning her own identity in the cinema world and moving steadily toward success.

Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings has united with distributors Geek Pictures and Shochiku to bring Pushpa 2: The Rule to Japan. The record-shattering blockbuster, starring Icon Star Allu Arjun in the lead, will hit Japanese theatres on January 16, 2026 under the title Pushpa Kunrin.

The announcement was made with a Japanese greeting – “Konnichiwa, Nihon no Tomo yo” (Hello, friends of Japan). A specially dubbed Japanese trailer dropped alongside stunning new posters featuring the hero’s swaggering Pushpa Raj.

Already crowned an “industry hit” after its mammoth worldwide release in five Indian languages on December 5, 2024, Pushpa 2 is a sequel.

Reports last year indicated the makers planned to add an “international flavor to the narrative,” originally intending to shoot significant portions in such a way that the film’s reach went beyond India’s borders. The film is directed by Sukumar. Bunny has repeatedly and humbly deflected the praise he received for his performance, stating that the “entire success, the entire credit belongs to one man,” referring to his director.

The film’s music is by Devi Sri Prasad. Fahadh Faasil plays a cop. Rashmika Mandanna’s performance in the Jathara episode alongside the hero was a highlight.

Pushpa 2 is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar.

The highly-anticipated Tamil film “Va Vaathiyaar” is coming to Telugu audiences under the title “Annagaru Vostaru.” The makers officially announced the release date today, confirming that the film will hit theatres worldwide on December 12.

Krithi Shetty plays the female lead.

Along with the release-date announcement, the team also launched the ‘Annagaru’ lyrical song today. Composed by Santhosh Narayanan with a chart-buster vibe, the song features catchy lyrics by Rakendu Mouli. S.P. Abhishek and Haripriya have rendered the track with high energy. The lyrics “Annagaru, Annagaru… already I’m a rich kid; I’ve planned a pan-India movie; I even called Rajamouli to direct my biopic…” paired with colourful, vibrant visuals, make the song instantly engaging.

Recently, blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi launched the teaser of “Annagaru Vostaru,” which has received an overwhelming response. With the strong impact created by the promotional content so far, expectations are high that this film will become another major blockbuster in Karthi’s career.
