During my childhood, I once performed a dance on stage during Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations. The whistles and applause I received that day are still fresh in my memory.
From that very moment, I dreamed of seeing myself on the silver screen someday. I did miss a good opportunity that once came my way but now, I am determined to make the most of every opportunity that comes to me, says Pallavi Goud.
An authentic Telugu Telangana woman, Pallavi had to suppress her artistic passion for years due to family responsibilities. But now, she is gradually stepping into the film industry, showcasing her talent through reels, folk songs, and short films.
With a reference from noted director Karri Balaji, Pallavi is all set to make her small-screen debut with the upcoming film “Hushaaru Pitta” She hopes to carve out a unique identity for herself in the industry.

The film Shikandi, starring Yuvraj Gowda, Nikhil, Deepak Shetty, Khyati, and Nikhita Swamy in lead roles, is produced by Pola Praveen Kumar under the Pola Movies banner and directed by Gurumurthy V. The movie is gearing up for a summer release. The teaser launch event was held grandly today at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad.
Story writer Satyadev said – I recently signed a Kannada-Telugu project with a young Telugu hero. I’m happy to meet this Kannada movie team at this event. In the Mahabharata, Shikandi plays a very crucial role. Shikandi is the reason behind Bhishma Pitamaha laying down his weapons. Everyone in this world is born for a purpose. Inspired by such a powerful character, I hope this movie becomes a big success.”
Heroine Nikhita Swamy said – “The makers told me that I would be playing the role of Shikandi. I’ve been doing glamorous roles in Kannada, so I initially doubted whether this role would suit me. But after the director and team explained the visual presentation, I gained confidence in the character and the project. The motion poster released recently in Kannada received a huge response. I hope Telugu audiences will also support our film.”
Actress Neetu Vanajakshi said – “I’m happy to be part of Shikandi. The director has portrayed the story as effectively as he narrated it. All the elements he mentioned are present in the film. I believe you all liked our teaser.”
Actress Chandini said – I didn’t know Shikandi was a character from the Mahabharata. I’m not very educated, so I felt scared when I got this opportunity. Until now, people called us names like ‘kojja’ or ‘chekka.’ I was afraid they might start calling us ‘Shikandi’ after this film. But after the director explained the greatness of the character, I felt proud to be part of this film.”
Music director Pradyottan said – “I composed music for Ram Gopal Varma’s Ice Cream. Recently, one of my Kannada films became a success. I provided the background score for this film. I am a Telugu person, and I’m happy to present my work to Telugu audiences for the first time. They say you must win at home after succeeding outside—I’ve done that. I request everyone to support Shikandi.”
Actor Deepak Shetty said – This is my first Telugu film. Thanks to everyone who attended our teaser launch. The entire team worked passionately. We are going to deliver a great cinematic experience.”
Writer Alapati said – “I’m happy that my friend Praveen Kumar is producing such a great film. He is connecting the Mahabharata’s Shikandi character to a contemporary story. I wish this film becomes a success and motivates him to make more good films.”
Producer Pola Praveen Kumar said – “Cinema is the best medium to convey a message. I’m proud to produce a film with a strong subject like Shikandi. The film has all elements—love, comedy, action, and sentiment. Our entire team supported us greatly. We plan to release the motion poster and teaser across multiple cities. Today, we launched the teaser in Hyderabad. Everyone worked like a family. We will soon bring the film to theaters.”
Producer Pola Lakshmi said – “We often say a movie is not good immediately after watching it, but we don’t realize how many people work hard on it. After visiting this film’s set, I decided not to judge movies so casually. After the shoot ended, it felt like I was leaving a family.”
Heroine Khyati said – I’m playing Dr. Sangeetha in this film. The story shows the obstacles she faces while trying to build a hospital for the poor and how those challenges are overcome. The director has presented it very interestingly.”
Actor Anand said – “I played a comedy role. Our team is trying to speak Telugu because they love Telugu people and the language.”
Director Gurumurthy V. said – “My first film Maranastra, starring Malashree, was remade in Telugu as Maranayudham. While thinking about my second film, I decided to base it on the Shikandi character from the Mahabharata. Initially, the producer didn’t connect with the story, but after I explained it in detail—including the beginning, interval, and ending—he agreed immediately. Shikandi represents divine strength. How we connected that character to a modern-day story will be seen in theaters. Audiences will come out with a heart-touching feeling.”
Hero Yuvraj Gowda said – “When I first heard the story, I didn’t have high expectations. But after watching the teaser, my confidence increased a hundredfold. We’re proud to have made this film. The director presents an important message from the Mahabharata. I hope Telugu audiences support it.”
Actor Nikhil said – “When I joined, the shooting was already in progress. I could visualize the film while hearing the story. I share action scenes with Deepak Shetty. Everyone worked passionately without worrying about money or time. We aimed to deliver a good film, and we hope audiences will support us.”

In Telangana’s dynamic political landscape, allegations and counter-allegations are part of everyday discourse. In recent months, critics have accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy of going soft on the Bharatiya Janata Party, with some opponents going as far as claiming he has “sold out.”
But how much of this claim is political rhetoric, and how much reflects a deeper strategic shift?
The Roots of the Allegation
The criticism largely stems from:
Perceived coordination or non-confrontational stance toward the BJP on certain national issues
Select political statements that critics interpret as aligning with the Centre
Political calculations ahead of upcoming elections.
His previous connections with T.D.P with which B.J.P has an alliance currently may have influenced Revanth Reddy’s soft stance with B.J.P.
Opposition parties, especially the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, argue that the Congress leadership in Telangana has toned down its criticism of the BJP compared to earlier years. They portray this as an ideological compromise.
Political Strategy or Ideological Shift?
Supporters of Revanth Reddy counter that:
Governance requires working with the Central government regardless of party differences.
Maintaining functional ties with New Delhi can benefit Telangana in terms of funding and projects.
Tactical positioning in state politics does not automatically equal ideological surrender.
It is also worth noting that Indian state politics often involve pragmatic adjustments. Leaders may sharpen or soften rhetoric depending on electoral arithmetic, coalition possibilities, or governance priorities.
The Broader Context
Since the decline of the BRS government’s dominance, Telangana politics has entered a triangular contest phase involving Congress, BJP, and BRS. In such a competitive environment, narrative framing becomes crucial. Calling a rival a “sell-out” is a powerful political tool — it questions credibility and ideological consistency.
However, concrete evidence of formal political alignment between Congress leadership in Telangana and the BJP remains absent. Most of the debate is interpretative rather than documentary.
