MS Raju is a brand by himself. Under the Sumanth Arts banner, the films he produced such as Shatruvu, Devi, Manasantha Nuvve, Okkadu, Varsham, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana created a trend. As a director too, he has been moving forward with his own distinct style. Dirty Hari and Malli Pelli stand as examples. He does not like to repeat a concept once done. Whatever he does, his goal is to give the audience a unique experience. That is why he is preparing “Agadha.” For the past one year, he has been working relentlessly only on this project.

The promotions of “Agadha” have begun in a different manner. As part of this, an interesting and funny video was released. In the video, two thieves enter MS Raju’s office to steal, and while looking at the film posters there, they recall memories associated with those films. Finally, on seeing one particular poster, they get frightened as if something is there, and the video ends. What was actually there is the poster of the film “Agadha.” That poster was released today.

A dark cave.
A few torches glowing around.
Not just the darkness, even that faint light feels frightening.
There stands a huge idol.
Its face looks completely mystic. The idol has twelve hands.

In front of this idol stands a girl, turned away from it. Her costume also looks very different.

With this poster itself, MS Raju has generated curiosity. MS Raju is making “Agadha” as a mystical divine thriller. The film is being made on a grand scale under the banner of Sri Adi Varaha Productions, directed by MS Raju. Kasi Visalakshi Balusu is producing this film very prestigiously. The shooting part of “Agadha,” which is being made in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, has been completed. Currently, post production works are in progress.

Speaking about the film, MS Raju said, “This is a mystical divine thriller. We will soon reveal who the actors in this film are. We shot for 85 days across various sets and different locations. There will be 45 minutes of VFX in this film. That itself shows the scale of the movie. We will bring it before the audience very soon.”

The buzz around everyone’s favourite web-slinger is only getting louder, courtesy of two new posters released this week! Weeks after Spider-Man: Brand New Day dropped its first look, Sony Pictures has treated fans to fresh glimpses of the superhero’s next chapter. The posters were unveiled at CinemaCon 2026.

Sony head Tom Rothman first showcased the two upcoming posters for the film, noting that it “feels like nothing we’ve ever made,” despite the many past stories around the superhero. He also called it Holland’s “finest performance,” before Holland appeared virtually to declare that the movie is “the most emotional Spider-Man film we’ve ever made, and in some ways, the most grown-up.”

The trailer of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already shattered records, becoming one of the most talked-about and widely viewed trailers in recent times. The overwhelming response is a clear sign that audiences are more than ready to dive back into Spider-Man’s world—this time with higher stakes, deeper emotions, and a gripping new storyline.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day sees Tom Holland reprise his role alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando, and Tramell Tillman in pivotal roles.

Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theatres on 31st July 2026 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam across all premium formats.

The film ‘Pithapuramlo… Ala Modalaindi’ , directed by veteran filmmaker Mahesh Chandra, is set to release on May 1st. The principal cast includes Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Prudhviraj, Kedar Shankar, Mani Chandana, Annapurnamma, Sunny Akhil, Virat, Sai Praneeth, Sreelu, Prathyusha, and Rehana. The film was produced by Dundigalla Balakrishna, Akula Suresh Patel, and F.M. Murali (Godavari Kittayya) under the Mahesh Chandra Cinema Team banner.

Speaking on the occasion, Director Mahesh Chandra stated, “The trailer and two songs released recently have received a tremendous response. This film features romance, subtle humor, and sentiment; it beautifully portrays the bond between a father and daughter. It also serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting what the younger generation stands to lose if they take a wrong turn in life. Overall, the film conveys a positive message that resonates with both the older and younger generations. The characters depicted in this movie are incredibly natural—the kind of people you might find living next door or right in your own neighborhood.

Watching this film feels as though a camera was simply placed to capture real-life events as they unfolded. Concepts like this are truly evergreen. Just as my earlier film ‘Preyasi Rave’ served as a turning point in my career back in the day, I strongly believe that ‘Pithapuramlo… Ala Modalaindi’ will now mark a new turning point in my career. Renowned sculptor Rajkumar Wodeyar plays a pivotal role in the film, and the voice-over provided by the ‘Haasya Brahma’ Dr. Brahmanandam, stands as a special highlight of the movie.”

Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Prudhviraj, Kedar Shankar, Mani Chandana, Jayavahini, Annapurnamma, Dasari Padma, Sunny Akhil, Virat, Sai Praneeth, Sreelu, Prathyusha, Rehana, Jr. Pawan Kalyan, J.D.V Prasad, K.A. Paul Ramu, and Jabardasth Seshu constitute the main cast of this film.

Encouraging new talent, hero Kiran Abbavaram is producing the film under his KA Productions banner in association with Sumaira Studios, with Teja Velpucharla as co-producer. The film introduces Sai Tej and Veda Jalandharr as the lead pair, while V. Muniraju makes his debut as a director. Set against a rural backdrop, this period drama is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on April 17th. In a recent interview, the director shared key highlights of the film.

Becoming a director has always been my dream. After entering the industry, I started working in online editing to earn a living. Over time, I felt like I was drifting away from my goal of direction. So I wrote a script, went back to my village, and shot a demo with local people. After returning, I completed the post-production work. Later, during the shoot of the film Meter, I met Kiran Abbavaram. He asked me what I was working on, and I told him about my demo film. He liked it and asked about the story. After hearing the script, he encouraged me to develop it fully and said we could make it into a film. That’s how Thimmarajupalli TV began.

The story of Thimmarajupalli TV is inspired by incidents I witnessed in my childhood. The characters, their emotions, and my personal experiences are all reflected in the film. When I wanted to tell a story on screen, I thought, why not make it about my own village? When television first arrived in our village, it felt like a theater had come to us. This is a story that many villages can relate to. Anyone above 40 would have experienced similar moments related to television. While portraying village life and human ego, the film also delivers strong emotional content toward the end.

Even Gen Z audiences will enjoy this film. Today’s generation is not familiar with the culture and traditions of those times, or how people used to live back then. The world depicted in this film will feel fresh and new to them, showcasing experiences they have never seen before.

This is a pure suspense drama that keeps viewers hooked from beginning to end. The audience will remain engaged, eagerly anticipating what comes next, and will leave the theater with a strong emotional impact. The story is set in the Rayalaseema region, and the film was shot in real locations in my native village, Thimmarajupalli. All the songs were also filmed in and around our village.

I approached the film with a realistic style. Commercial filmmaking has its own approach, but I wanted this film to feel as natural and authentic as possible. I admire Marathi films like Sairat and Jhund, and I have watched Satya at least a hundred times. From a filmmaking perspective, our movie will surprise audiences. We have even shot long single-take scenes lasting six to seven minutes. Having a producer like Kiran Abbavaram is a blessing not just for me, but for the entire team. He is giving such a good release to a small film and believed strongly in me. That trust made me take even more responsibility in making this film. Many small films with good content have succeeded, and we hope our film will be recognized as a new-age filmmaking effort.

The film features actors from various districts across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, including artists from theater backgrounds like Surabhi. This project is a dream for many newcomers like me. If the film succeeds, it will encourage producers to trust more new talent and create more opportunities. We have screened the film for close associates and friends, and everyone connected with the core message we wanted to convey.

Performance-wise, every artist has done an excellent job. The acting of both the lead pair and the supporting cast will impress the audience. Every character in the film feels important. Technically, the film has been made with high quality, including Atmos sound. Each song has been designed to feel unique. Currently, I have five to six stories ready, and I aspire to continue telling stories inspired by the world around us.

The film “Chiranjeevi,” starring Kiku Yamanala and Kashish Khan in the lead roles, has officially launched its title and first look poster. The film also features key roles played by Tanikella Bharani, Eswari Rao, Goparaju Ramana, Srikanth Bharath, Viva Raghav, and others. The movie is being produced under the Kiku Entertainments banner by Deepti Nadiminti, with Sai Venkat as the director. “Chiranjeevi” is gearing up for a summer release. Recently, the film’s title and first look poster were launched by Mega Brother Nagababu. On this occasion, the film team expressed their gratitude to Nagababu.

The story revolves around a young man named Chiru, who has dextrocardia (a rare condition in which the heart is located on the right side of the chest). The film portrays how he overcomes the struggles and challenges in his life and how he manages to achieve his goals despite his rare medical condition. The director Sai Venkat has crafted the film in an engaging and inspiring manner throughout. The movie is set to be released in the summer with all elements designed to engage the audience. The makers will soon announce the official release date of “Chiranjeevi.”
