Manchu Lakshmi fires at Media at New Show Launch
Manchu Lakshmi once again found herself at the centre of attention — this time for calling out a journalist during a recent press interaction in Hyderabad. The incident happened at the launch event of Aha’s upcoming reality show Top Telugu Influencer, where Lakshmi appeared alongside anchor Rashmi Gautam and comedian Harsha Chemudu as hosts. During the media interaction, a journalist reportedly brought up Sudigali Sudheer while questioning Rashmi Gautam and asked why his name was being avoided during the promotional activities of the show. Rashmi handled the situation calmly and responded that the team had come there purely to promote the show. However, Manchu Lakshmi was visibly unhappy with the line of questioning. Taking the microphone, she strongly reacted and questioned why unrelated topics were repeatedly being brought up for views and clickbait instead of focusing on the actual show. Her comments quickly became a talking point across social media. Apart from the heated moment, Lakshmi also lightened the atmosphere at the event by dancing on stage to the popular track “Ranu Mumbai Ki Ranu,” joking that she now connects with the song because she has settled in Mumbai. Videos from the event have since gone viral online. Interestingly, many social media users appeared to support Lakshmi’s stance, saying promotional events should focus more on content rather than repeatedly revisiting unrelated celebrity gossip.

Rajini's next produced by Kamal to Start Shoot Tomorrow
Superstar Rajinikanth is not slowing down. Even as anticipation continues to build around Jailer 2, fresh industry developments suggest that his next project is already ready to roll. The much-talked-about film, to be produced by Kamal Haasan, is said to begin shooting from tomorrow with a formal pooja ceremony. Interestingly, this project has seen a major directorial change. Earlier, Sundar C started the project but director backed out. Then strong buzz indicated that Don fame Cibi Chakravarthy would helm Rajinikanth. However, things appear to have changed behind the scenes, and now Ashwath Marimuthu has reportedly locked the opportunity to direct the Superstar. The collaboration itself has become the biggest talking point. Rajinikanth leading a film backed by Kamal Haasan is a combination fans have imagined for decades, and bringing a younger filmmaker like Ashwath into the mix has only increased curiosity. Industry chatter further suggests that the makers are planning a tight production schedule. The film is expected to continue shooting almost non-stop with only a single 20-day break built into the schedule, indicating that the team is aiming to complete the project at a rapid pace. If all goes according to plan, the makers are said to be targeting the lucrative Pongal festival window for release. As of now, an official announcement regarding title and release date is awaited.

Did Trisha Really Unfollow CM Vijay?
A fresh social media storm has erupted around Trisha Krishnan and CM Vijay after reports surfaced claiming that the actress has unfollowed the actor-politician on Instagram. The discussion picked up pace at a time when Vijay’s personal life has already been under public scrutiny following reports surrounding his separation from wife Sangeetha. While several entertainment pages and fan communities began linking Trisha’s alleged social media move to the ongoing conversation, there has been no confirmation from either Vijay or Trisha regarding the matter. Interestingly, fan groups remain divided. While one section believes Trisha recently removed Vijay from her following list, others argue she had not been following him in the first place, making the entire discussion difficult to verify. The buzz around the duo has remained intense over the last few months, especially after their public appearances and renewed online discussions around their equation. Trisha had earlier avoided commenting on questions related to Vijay during a public appearance, further adding to the curiosity. For now, there is no public statement, no deleted posts, and no direct indication from either side. Until one of them addresses it, the “unfollow” remains another social media theory rather than a confirmed development.

Mamta Mohandas Shares Her Inspiring Battle with Cancer
Actress Mamta Mohandas delivered a powerful and deeply personal speech at the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital. As a cancer survivor herself, she praised Nandamuri Balakrishna for his continued dedication to the institution and its 25-year legacy of helping patients. During her address, Mamta addressed past rumors, clarifying that she was not diagnosed with breast cancer, but rather Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma—a rare and aggressive type of blood cancer. She spoke about her gruelling journey, which included extensive chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. When standard treatments failed, a 2014 clinical trial in the United States for the drug Opdivo saved her life. Mamta shared a profound shift in her perspective, explaining that she no longer focuses on the elusive concept of a "cure." Instead, she concentrates on daily survival, mental resilience, and making the most of her life. She also highlighted a crucial gap in Indian medical care, noting the absence of routine "Quality of Life Assessments" that are standard in the US to monitor a patient's emotional well-being. She had a strong message for families of cancer patients: empathize, don't just sympathize. She warned against the "toxic support" of caregivers constantly showing their worry, as patients need strength and positivity from their homes. Mamta concluded by rejecting the notion that cancer survivors are fragile, stating that the battle makes them incredibly strong, and she urged society to offer genuine love and support to make every patient's fight a little easier.

Kajal Aggarwal States NBK111 is Her Dream Film
Kajal Aggarwal is clearly excited about her next big Telugu outing, NBK111. The actress recently opened up about being part of the much-awaited film starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and called the opportunity a “dream come true” moment in her career. Kajal revealed that getting to play a powerful character opposite Balakrishna is something she is genuinely looking forward to. More importantly, she hinted that this is not a routine heroine role and that the character comes with strong importance in the narrative. Interestingly, this marks Kajal’s reunion with Balakrishna after the success of Bhagavanth Kesari. Their pairing received a positive response earlier and expectations are naturally higher this time, especially with director Gopichand Malineni returning to collaborate with Balakrishna after delivering Veera Simha Reddy. The actress had earlier described NBK111 as a new-age action drama, suggesting that the film will combine Balakrishna’s trademark mass appeal with a fresher treatment and presentation. With shooting already underway and Kajal sounding highly confident about her role, NBK111 is slowly shaping into one of the most anticipated commercial entertainers currently in production. Fans will now be waiting to see what this Balakrishna–Kajal combination delivers on the big screen.

Deewana Team Alleges Unfair Treatment by Censor Board
The team behind Telugu film Deewana has made serious allegations against the censor process after the film’s release plans reportedly suffered due to certification delays. What was originally planned as a Friday release with paid premieres eventually got pushed, creating financial pressure on the makers. According to reports circulating around the issue, the makers initially expected a U/A certificate but were allegedly asked to make additional modifications during the certification process. The delay reportedly disrupted release planning and affected advance momentum for the film. For a big-budget film, release postponements can sometimes be absorbed. But for smaller films depending on opening weekend occupancy and word-of-mouth, even a one-day shift can become costly. The Deewana episode has once again triggered discussion in industry circles about whether the current certification mechanism is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-budget films. Interestingly, despite the hurdles, Deewana eventually reached theatres and early audience reactions have largely been positive, with viewers appreciating the emotional storytelling and performances. While no official detailed response from the censor authorities has emerged regarding the allegations, the incident has reopened a familiar debate in the film industry — whether certification should regulate content alone or avoid becoming an obstacle to release schedules.

Nara Lokesh for NBK - Koratala Siva Movie Launch
The combination itself was enough to create conversation and now the launch event has added another layer of attention. Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Koratala Siva’s first-ever collaboration is all set to begin officially with a grand launch in Amaravati. The makers have chosen the TTD Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple at Venkatapalem, Amaravati for the auspicious pooja ceremony, which will be held on the morning of June 25. The event is expected to attract political and film circles alike as Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh will attend as chief guest while Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh will join as special guest. Balakrishna has been balancing mass entertainers with different shades in recent years and Koratala Siva is known for packaging commercial cinema with strong character arcs and emotional depth. That contrast itself has become one of the biggest talking points around the project. Industry circles are curious to see how Koratala presents Balakrishna’s larger-than-life screen presence while retaining his own storytelling style. The director is said to have locked a script that explores a different dimension of the star’s image rather than relying only on routine mass elements. The film is being produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri and Sudhakar Mikkilineni on a lavish scale. Even with just the announcement and launch details, the project has already generated strong anticipation among audiences and trade circles.

Could Parithabangal Sudhakar Ably Replace Santhanam In JIO?
The teaser of Jolliya Iruntha Oruthan (JIO) has finally arrived and the film is clearly banking on nostalgia. Jiiva and director Rajesh M are coming together again after delivering the blockbuster Siva Manasula Shakti (SMS), a film that still enjoys cult status among comedy lovers. But while the makers are positioning JIO as a reunion of that successful combination, there is one obvious change audiences instantly noticed. Santhanam is not part of this outing. Santhanam and Jiiva combination has earned cult classic combo reputation. Now, Parithabangal Sudhakar has replaced Santy. From the teaser, Sudhakar and Jiiva seem to share good chemistry and there is an easy-going energy between them. At the same time, comparing them with the Santhanam–Jiiva combination would be cruel because that pairing already carries years of audience affection and recall value. But with the way JIO is being marketed, the comparison is inevitable. Still, the teaser looks promising and more importantly, it brings Jiiva back into a full-fledged comical role. Rajesh M needs this film to work big time and let's see how it all goes. One thing noticable though while they took a comical dig at CM Vijay they dedicated the teaser to him as it released on his birthday. Yuvan Shankar Raja is back as the composer with Ivana as leading lady. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Maa Inti Bangaram: Soft Sai Pallavi to Action lady Samantha
Samantha's new release Maa Inti Bangaram was initially conceived with a completely different flavour altogether. The project was said to be designed as a light-hearted comical family drama with Sai Pallavi in the lead role, banking heavily on her effortless screen presence, natural humour and emotional connect. Director Nandini Reddy revealed that the original version leaned more towards family interactions, situational comedy and a rooted emotional journey. However, things eventually changed after Sai Pallavi could not come on board for the film due to scheduling conflict. That led the producer Raj Nidimoru to revisit the screenplay and redesign portions of the narrative. With Samantha stepping into the project, Raj reworked the treatment and elevated the scale. Instead of remaining a simple comical family drama, Maa Inti Bangaram gradually transformed into a family entertainer with stronger action elements and a more dynamic character arc for the protagonist. The shift helped the film to attract audiences in a major fashion. Showcasing Samantha's box office pull the movie has collected Rs.14.56 crores gross in two days proving Sam as a true box office treasure as a leading lady coinciding with the title.

Rao Bahadur’s Desa Sanchari Brings Retro Rock Energy
Satyadev has built a reputation for taking unconventional roles and Rao Bahadur looks set to continue that trend. Directed by Venkatesh Maha and presented by Mahesh Babu, the upcoming psychological drama has already generated strong curiosity with its trailer and first single Sundari. With the film gearing up for release on July 3rd, the makers have now unveiled the second single, Desa Sanchari. Unlike conventional promotional songs, Desa Sanchari embraces an old-school rock and roll identity while giving it a visually theatrical presentation. The track acts as a tribute to retro music and vintage performance styles, while still fitting into the dark and immersive world that the film appears to promise. One of the biggest highlights of the song is Satyadev’s surprising screen transformation. Styled with shades reminiscent of classic rock performers, the actor takes on demanding ballroom-inspired choreography with confidence and fluidity. The entire song being staged inside a cage adds an unusual visual texture and reflects Venkatesh Maha’s attempt to create something symbolic rather than straightforward. Musically, Smaran Sai delivers a composition packed with rhythm and energy while balancing retro influences with contemporary presentation. Hemachandra’s deep vocal texture drives the track effectively and Priyanka Gajanan’s voice adds additional character to the arrangement. The choreography further enhances the mood by focusing on movement, poses and flexibility rather than large-scale spectacle. Produced by Anurag Reddy, Sharath Chandra and Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy, Rao Bahadur is positioning itself as a psychological drama with a distinctive visual and musical identity.

Rukmini Vasanth Viral Bikini Pics Case: Police Arrest Three
The controversy around viral bikini visuals falsely linked to actress Rukmini Vasanth has now moved beyond social media discussion into legal action. In a major development on June 20, Bengaluru Cyber Crime Police arrested three people accused of creating and circulating AI-generated images and videos using the actress’s identity. The issue first exploded in May after manipulated visuals began spreading online claiming to show Rukmini in a poolside bikini shoot. The actress quickly responded and clarified that the content was completely fabricated using AI and deepfake tools. She called it a serious violation of privacy and announced legal action against those responsible. Following her complaint, cyber authorities opened an investigation and traced multiple accounts involved in creating and amplifying the content. Earlier this month, FIRs had reportedly been registered against 29 social media accounts across platforms as investigators expanded the digital trail and sought platform cooperation. Now, police have confirmed the arrest of three accused allegedly connected to generating and distributing the manipulated visuals. Reports state that mobile phones used in creating and sharing the content were seized as part of the probe. The accused were produced before a judicial magistrate and remanded while further investigation continues into whether additional people were involved. The development marks one of the stronger responses seen in a celebrity deepfake case in India. While there is no final court verdict yet, the arrests indicate that authorities are treating AI-driven impersonation and digital character assassination with increasing seriousness. Rukmini had earlier stated that such misuse of technology does not affect only public figures but can become a wider issue for women online.
