Is there a rivalry between Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Prabhas is the biggest South Indian actor after the mammoth hit that was Bahubali; nonetheless, the icon star Allu Arjun has also joined Prabhas on this list after the pan-Indian hit Pushpa 2. While the stars have a massive fan base across the globe, it is quite common for them to feel insecure about their contemporary actors.

The Telugu film industry is known for its collaborative and supportive environment. This close-knit atmosphere and the collaborative efforts to support each other have led to the perception that competition among the stars is minimal, with most stars working in harmony rather than rivalry.

As we all know Prabhas and his humble nature, we all assumed the darling to not be bothered about such concerns; however, in a throwback interview, the star opened up about his insecurities and...

Gal Gadot, best known for her role as Wonder Woman in the Dceu, is all set to release her upcoming action-spy-thriller film ‘Heart of Stone’. During the promotions for the movie, where she was sitting with her co-star Alia Bhatt, Gadot in a very surprising move spoke Telugu which really captivated the Indian audiences, particularly Telugu speakers.

The DC star was sitting with Alia as the latter tried to teach her a little bit of Telugu during their Q&a session on ‘Wired’ answering ‘Google’s Most Asked Questions.’ One of the subjects which emerged was ‘Does Gal Gadot speak Telugu?’

To this, Alia, who is just now riding off the success of her film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani’ said that she can speak a little bit of Telugu though she is not fluent in the language.

Gadot asked Alia to teach her some to which she complied...

New Delhi, July 30 (Ians) Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” may be leading the “Barbenheimer” sweepstakes internationally, but “Oppenheimer”, despite its dark overtones, has bombed out its competition in India — earning Rs 77 crore in its first eight days, compared with Rs 29 crore made by “Barbie”.

In fact, the Cillian Murphy-headlined biopic helmed by Christopher Nolan made more money on its first day — Rs 14.5 crore on July 21 — than the much-hyped Ranveer Singh- and Alia Bhatt-starrer “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” — Rs 11.5 crore on July 28.

“Oppenheimer” is now projected to be well on it way to leaving behind the Tom Cruise spectacle, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” (M:I7), which had grossed Rs 97.8 crore by Friday, July 28, its Day 17 in India, the film’s fourth largest overseas market after China, South Korea, and the UK.

It is indeed a rare scenario where three Hollywood films back-to-back have delivered great numbers,...

Few Indian films succeed in reaching global audiences, but when they do, most of them create history, like Rrr did this year. Previously, filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli created two war epics titled Bahubali: The Beginning and Bahubali 2: The Conclusion, which became a national sensation, winning everything possible nationwide. However, with Rrr, he turned things up a notch, demonstrating that no one does it better than him when it comes to action.

Rrr (Rise Roar Revolt), released on March 24, 2022, quickly became a phenomenon. Once it reached the international stage, nothing could stop the success of this incredible story, as it won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture and an Oscar for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song). Although the film ended on a positive note, there is always room for a sequel, and here's how that may happen.

What Is Rrr About?

While it seems...

Mumbai, March 7 (Ians) South Indian actor Nani, popularly known as the ‘Natural Star’, made his first-ever live appearance in Mumbai at a massive event celebrating Holi.

Fans from all over Mumbai and neighbouring areas gathered to catch a glimpse of their favourite star, and Nani who was there to promote his upcoming pan-India film ‘Dasara’, did not disappoint.

During the event, the actor presented a treat to all the fans at the venue by revealing ‘Dasara’ poster and its teaser. Both of which received a roaring appreciation from the crowd.

The star didn’t stop there, he even gave the audience an exclusive sneak peek of a song from his upcoming film which the fans couldn’t stop hooting for. The actor was moved by the fans’ love and enthusiasm towards him.

Expressing his excitement and gratitude, the actor said, “I am truly humbled and grateful for the overwhelming love...

Amidst an array of newly-minted Oscar nominees, the fourth-highest grossing movie in the world this past weekend was an Indian movie. And, no, it wasn’t the beloved “Rrr.”

During its opening weekend, Siddharth Anand’s action-thriller “Pathaan” clocked in just below “Avatar: The Way of Water” worldwide. It broke Indian box-office records, but also made much of its nearly 70 million worldwide in international markets. On our domestic charts, it beat out everything from “Plane” to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Major releases do massive ticket sales in India, where the price per ticket is significantly lower than the U.S., but cracking the international leaderboard reflects an X factor at work. This upswing in international interest might suggests a trend tied to the success of S.S. Rajamouli’s wildly popular “Rrr.” Everyone: “Rrr” is a great movie, but to give it the credit is to sell Indian cinema short.

It was claimed that the opening response of ‘Brahmastra: Part 1 – Shiva’ suffered because of the boycott call. The figures given out, however, are the kind that contradict the boycott claims. Does giving out inflated figures for any film save the film or the maker’s prestige? Most of all, can such figures convince movie lovers that they thronged the cinemas when they had not!

The trend of manipulating collection figures is age-old, but at that time it did not concern or involve people. It was done to sell the unreleased circuits of a film. This was when a film remained unsold in some circuits.

The producer would go ahead and release it in one major circuit, say Delhi-up and, when the week’s run was over, the inflated figures were issued to the trade papers so that other distributors from the unsold territories would get attracted. It was a manipulation...
