The Kannada controversy, unfortunately, couldn’t significantly help “Thug Life,” despite generating millions of rupees in free publicity.

This film, which brought together the Kamal Haasan – Mani Ratnam combination after 38 years since “Nayakan,” failed to achieve even minimal openings in our Telugu states. With “negative word-of-mouth,” collections further declined even by the matinee shows.

Analysts are expressing disappointment, stating that Mani Ratnam, who had made a comeback with the “Ponniyan Selvan” films, has once again severely disappointed with “Thug Life.” It is regrettable that even in Tamil, the film is not collecting as expected.

Senior actor, producer, and politician Murali Mohan inaugurated the Exotic Fruit, Vegetable, and Grocery Store at Alkapuri Township in Manikonda. NN Kishore, Archana Reddy, and Vinod Kumar are the Managing Directors behind the launch of the store. It offers fresh organic fruits, vegetables, juices, dry fruits, and all grocery items at affordable prices.

Speaking on the occasion, Murali Mohan said:
“I’m happy to inaugurate the Exotic Fruit, Vegetable, and Grocery Store. When NN Kishore, Archana Reddy, and Vinod Kumar approached me and explained the concept, I was quite impressed. These days, many people claim to sell organic products, but often they are not genuine. However, this store sources directly from farmers and delivers fresh produce to customers at reasonable prices. I’ve seen the products myself — they’re really fresh.

In today’s busy life, it’s very convenient to have everything in one place. They are also planning to enroll local residents as members and expand the Exotic brand with branches in other areas. I hope Exotic becomes a well-known brand and offers great service to the public.”

Exotic Store MD NN Kishore said:
“We are thankful to Murali Mohan garu for inaugurating our Exotic Fruit, Vegetable, and Grocery Store. We procure organic fruits and vegetables directly from farmers and sell them to customers at reasonable rates. We don’t stock large quantities — we only bring in what’s needed for the day, ensuring everything is fresh. Along with fruits, vegetables, juices, dry fruits, and grocery items, we also offer rare juices like ash gourd juice and green leafy vegetable juices. We are planning to expand our store nationwide, and later, globally, as a franchise.”

Exotic Store MD Vinod Kumar added:
“Our goal at Exotic is to provide customers with fresh organic fruits and vegetables at the best prices. In just a few months, people will be able to see the difference between our store and other so-called organic stores. We thank Murali Mohan garu for attending our store’s opening and blessing us. We are set to expand as a franchise across various regions.”

It’s a gangster action film drama with a backdrop of Delhi to emphasize friendship and betrayal to capture the throne.

It’s gangster Sakthivel (Kamal Haasan) journey with highs and lows and complicated relationships.Its about gang supremacy initially with a rival gang led by Sadanand and later within the gang against his adopted son Simbhu and with Kamal brother Nassar.

Trisha character is more of a vamp character with a complicated love relationship with Kamal and Simbhu.Lost and found brother sister drama of Simbu and Aishwarya elevates the drama in later part of the story.

Its a typical mani Ratnam gangster film for supremacy with complicated drama and relationships, if you are fan of action and gangster films you can watch it.

“Kattappa Judgement” is a film produced by Ravuri Venkata Swamy under the banner of Apollo Productions, starring Sathyaraj, known as Kattappa from Baahubali, in the lead role.

Producer Venkata Swamy is bringing the Tamil film “Teerpughal Virkapadum” to Telugu audiences as “Kattappa Judgement.” There isn’t a single Telugu audience member who doesn’t know Baahubali’s Kattappa; Sathyaraj has such a strong and enduring connection with the Telugu audience.

The film has completed its censor formalities and received a U/A certificate. The producer is making arrangements to release it in Telugu on June 13th. Madhusudhana Rao delivered a superb performance in the antagonist’s role.

This film, made with full mass elements, will undoubtedly appeal to all sections of the audience. To find out what kind of judgment Kattappa delivers and on what matter, watch it on the big screen.

The film is directed by Dheeran. Smruthi Venkat, Sathyaraj, Harish Uthaman, Madhusudhan Rao, and Ravi Prasad played the main roles.

Coalition Government Appears Positive.

Even after completing a year in office, the Andhra Pradesh government is facing strong criticism for not appointing a Chairman for the Film Development Corporation (APFDC). However, sources indicate that the government is now preparing to take a final decision on the matter.

In this context, the name of noted film producer Dammalapati Srinivasa Rao, also known as D.S. Rao, has emerged as a hot topic. Known for producing films with popular actors like Nani, Nikhil, and Manchu Manoj, D.S. Rao also holds vast experience in exhibition and distribution. Many believe he is a well-qualified candidate for the position.

Although several names had surfaced earlier for this post, many of them were blocked due to group politics and lobbying. D.S. Rao’s neutral stance—not being affiliated with any particular faction—seems to be working in his favor. From the beginning of his career, he has stayed away from controversies and groupism, which is expected to be an asset for someone taking up such a prestigious position.

In recent months, D.S. Rao has been busy launching his son as a hero in the film industry. Despite this, the film fraternity is reportedly offering him unanimous support for the APFDC Chairman role. Known as a friendly, well-educated, and controversy-free individual, his appointment could greatly benefit the Telugu film industry.
