Dulquer’s Escape Becomes a Major Alert for Others

Attaining fame is seen as a major accomplishment for actors. However, the key to reaching that level is choosing the right script. The skill of selecting a good script is not something many in the film industry have mastered, even those with a lot of experience might miss the potential of a film during the early stages.

South Indian heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan is different in this area.

 His recent film choices and the handsome offers he has declined show how careful he is when listening to scripts before deciding to work on a project. His ability to avoid some of the biggest flops recently has become a learning example for his peers.

Most actors get excited by their success and sign films without really looking at the script's potential.

 But Dulquer is different. He stepped back from projects like 'Indian 2', 'Thug Life', and 'Parasakthi'.

At first, many in the industry criticized his choices, but Dulquer proved them wrong.

 All those films ended up being huge box office failures. He was offered the role of Siddharth in 'Indian 2' and Simbhu's character in 'Thug Life', but he chose not to take them.

'Indian 2' and 'Thug Life' were directed by famous names like Shankar and Mani Ratnam.

 Yet, Dulquer didn't get swayed by their reputation and rejected the offers. He also turned down Sivakarthikeyan's latest film 'Parasakthi', which didn't do well with the audience.

Now that all the films he refused have failed at the box office, other stars might think twice before accepting similar scripts.

Dulquer will soon be seen in the upcoming Telugu romantic drama 'Aakasamlo Oka Tara', directed by Pavan Sadineni.

Kollywood Debut Turns Unlucky For This Beauty

Krithi Shetty is one of the few young actresses who was expected to become a top name in the industry after she started her career in 2021.

 She made a big impression with her first movie in Tollywood, Uppena, which was a huge romantic hit. She followed that up with other successful films like Shyam Singha Roy and Bangarraju, which helped her become a big star.

However, after that, she faced a lot of failures.

 Her movies like Warrior, Custody, and Manamey didn't do well and affected her career a lot. She finally got a chance to revive her career with her Malayalam debut, ARM, which was a success.

This success continued her good run with her debut films in different languages, starting with Super 30 in Bollywood and then Uppena in Telugu.

She then had high hopes for her Kollywood debut, Vaa Vaathiyaar, in which she was the lead opposite Karthi.

 But the film did not do well at the box office. Even though it was released during the Pongal festival, it didn't get much attention or response from the audience. Krithi didn't get much to work with in her role and didn't shine as much as she hoped.

The bad result of Vaa Vaathiyaar ended her winning streak with debut films.

 Now she is hoping to come back strong with her next Tamil film, Love Insurance Kompany, directed by Pradeep Ranganathan. She wants to make a big comeback with this science fiction romantic movie and get better opportunities in Kollywood.

While she waits for Love Insurance Kompany to release, there are rumors that she might have been offered a key role in Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, directed by Bobby.

 If that happens, it could be a major turning point in her career.

Chiru’s MSG: 300 Cr World Wide and $3 Million in NA

Megastar Chiranjeevi is breaking box office records with his Sankranti film Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu, which is doing really well even on weekdays. The film had a huge opening on January 12th and smashed many records in Telugu states and overseas during the first week because of great reviews and word of mouth, taking full advantage of the festival season.

The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, has now crossed two big box office milestones this Monday, which is a key day for all Sankranti movies.

 Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu has earned 300 crores worldwide and has become the fastest regional film to reach that mark. It has also become Chiranjeevi's highest-grossing film so far.

Another big achievement for the film is that it has become the first movie to make $3 million in North America, the largest overseas market, for both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi.

 After a great opening, the film has continued to do well every day and ended the first week on a strong note.

Chiranjeevi's great comedy and classic dance steps, along with Ravipudi's fun and entertaining style, have made Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu a hit across different types of audiences.

 The festive mood has helped the film make lots of money in all areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu has already become the clear winner of Sankranti and the biggest blockbuster of the year.

 It is still dominating the Tollywood box office, and more records are expected to be broken in the coming days.

Four Films, Four Hits – Tollywood’s Safest Hero!

  In today's Telugu film industry, it's hard to predict who will succeed.

 Even with big budgets and famous names, there's no guarantee of a hit. But Naveen Polishetty has quietly become one of the most reliable stars, giving the industry something it values: steady box office success.

Naveen now has a rare record.

 His four theatrical films – Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya, Jathi Ratnalu, Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, and Anaganaga Oka Raju – have all turned into solid hits. With Anaganaga Oka Raju breaking the 100 crore mark globally, he has officially stepped into a new level. This film is his first to cross 100 crores and also brings strong overseas numbers, especially in the US.

What makes this achievement special is not just the numbers, but the pattern.

 Whether the film comes from a different production house or a different genre, the result is the same. Naveen Polishetty’s success keeps coming. That consistency has made him a trusted name for producers and distributors.

When costs are rising and the audience’s behavior is uncertain, a Naveen Polishetty film brings confidence.

 The trade belief is becoming clear. If Naveen is leading the film, the risk feels lower and the returns feel safer.

One major reason for this success is his involvement beyond acting.

 Naveen contributes to the story, helps with writing and dialogue, and takes charge of promotions to make sure the film connects well with the audience. This kind of ownership shows on screen and at the box office.

Another strong point is budget discipline.

 His films are made with careful spending, clear planning, and less wastage. This approach increases profit margins and improves return on investment, making his projects appealing to everyone involved.

His overseas success also adds to his growing stardom.

 With Anaganaga Oka Raju expected to cross 2 million dollars in the US, Naveen continues his strong performance abroad. This consistency shows his appeal is not just in one market.

Delivering a big hit during the Sankranthi season, when competition is at its peak, further proves that his success is built on audience trust, not just timing or luck.

Coming from a non-film background, Naveen Polishetty has built his career through talent, smart decisions, and hard work.

 Today, he is not just seen as an actor, but as a reliable brand in Telugu cinema.

Four films, four hits, and growing box office strength clearly show that Naveen Polishetty is one of the most bankable stars in the industry right now.

No Truth In Dhanush-Mrunal Relationship Rumours?

 There has been a lot of talk recently about the relationship between Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur. Some media reports have suggested that the couple might get married on February 14th, which is Valentine’s Day.

But a person who knows Dhanush and works in Bollywood has said that this news is not true.

 They explained that Dhanush is not interested in getting married again and doesn’t want to bring a stepmother into his children’s lives.

The source said, “When Dhanush and his ex-wife separated, they both agreed to co-parent their two sons, Yatra and Linga.

 As far as I know, Dhanush doesn’t want to get married again. He doesn’t want to bring a stepmother into their lives.”

They also added, “I don’t want to comment on their relationship status.

 They do care for each other, but that doesn’t mean they want to get married.”

Dhanush and Mrunal were seen together at the screening of Son of Sardar 2, and since then, there have been many rumors about their relationship.

Chiru’s MSG Close To 300 Cr Milestone

 The first time Megastar Chiranjeevi and director Anil Ravipudi worked together is making a big impact. The movie Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is doing really well in its first week, even though there are a lot of other movies during the festive season.

On its first day, the film made over 84 crores, including the premiere.

 Since then, it has been earning between 30 to 35 crores every day. The day before yesterday, it made 31 crores, bringing the total worldwide earnings to 292 crores. It is expected to cross 300 crores today.

The film is on track to beat Anil Ravipudi’s previous highest-grossing film, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, today.

 It is also likely to be Chiranjeevi’s biggest hit ever.

Already, the movie has broken records for both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi, with over $2.96 million earned just in North America.

 With this strong performance, MSG is set to break more records and is becoming a big hit in the regional film industry.

The audience response has been strong and enthusiastic, with full houses everywhere and many families coming out to enjoy the movie.
