He told Rangaraj Pandey, "Whenever a Vijay sir movie comes out, people talk about it for a week—saying this is good, that isn't, this doesn't work, that doesn't.Then after a week, they say it's not that great.But six months later, it starts becoming a big hit in society."

For me, it's like a real dream, being right in the middle of those two worlds."

Nara Rohith Gets a Chance to Prove Himself

Nara Rohith was once seen as one of the most reliable actors in Telugu cinema.But a series of unsuccessful movies brought him down.After 2018, he stepped back from the public eye, and many people started wondering if he would come back to acting.

In 2024, Nara Rohith made a return with movies like Pratinidhi 2.

The film created some interest, but it didn’t do well at the box office.Even though there was a setback, Rohith kept working on new projects.

Now, things are looking different.

One of his most anticipated films is Adarsha Kutumbam, where he plays a police officer along with Venkatesh.The movie is a family drama directed by Trivikram Srinivas, and it’s expected to have a strong role for Rohith.

He also has a role in Sound Engineer, where he shows a more fun and playful side.

This role is likely to offer a different kind of performance that audiences haven’t seen from him in a while.

Another exciting project in his schedule is Kapaali, a thriller where Rohith again plays a cop.

This film mixes family drama, comedy, and action, and his upcoming projects seem to have a good chance of success.

If these movies do well with the audience, his second phase in acting could be a big one.

Let’s see how he moves forward with his career.

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is the most anticipated Indian film and is getting more attention every day.It stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana.The two-part story is making a lot of news.

The latest update is that Sony Pictures has joined the project and will handle the film's international release.

Under this agreement, Sony will help the film reach audiences worldwide in a big way, similar to how Hollywood movies are released.There are also reports that Sony is planning a special marketing strategy to make the film more visible.

According to the reports, Sony is planning to spend a huge amount of money, around Rs 235 crore, on the international promotion of the film.

The makers are also adding another Rs 140 crore for these promotions, bringing the total to a massive Rs 375 crore.

This kind of big spending on advertising isn't new in Indian cinema.

It shows the makers are really determined to make Ramayana a unique and unforgettable experience for people all over the world.This decision also highlights their goal to position the film on the global stage.

On another note, Ramayana has already generated a lot of interest at San Diego Comic-Con, where the team presented the project to a global audience.

The film will feature top-quality visual effects, an IMAX presentation, and music by A.R.Rahman and Hans Zimmer.

The trailer, which was planned to be released today, has been delayed for unknown reasons.

Now, everyone is waiting for the trailer to see if it can make or break the film's success.

Anirudh Becomes the Saviour for Lokesh’s Debut Film

Looking at how things are developing, Anirudh Ravichander is becoming the main highlight of Lokesh Kanagaraj's first movie, DC.The film is directed by Arun Matheswaran, has Wamiqa Gabbi as the female lead, and is scheduled to come out on August 7.

People are curious about Lokesh's move from being a director to an actor, but it's Anirudh who is taking the spotlight at every stage of the film's promotions.

Whether it's the songs, the teaser, or public appearances, the star composer is making a big impression with his exciting energy.

On social media, many are talking about how much they like Anirudh's music, saying it has taken the film's promotional material to a new level and created a lot of excitement even before the movie comes out.

Some think that a group of moviegoers might just go to see DC on the big screen to hear Anirudh's work.

It's hard to argue with that, since the film's background score is expected to be wild, as the story is based on Devdas.

With Lokesh making his acting debut, the pressure is on.

But right now, it's Anirudh who is the one really drawing people to the theatres more than Lokesh himself.

More about the film

Can Venky Win Telugu Families With a Tamil Flavour?

 Everyone is looking forward to Suriya's upcoming movie, Vishwanath & Sons.Mamitha Baiju plays the female lead, and the film is directed by Venky Atluri, who also produced it with Naga Vamsi.Venky recently said that the film is not a Telugu movie or a bilingual one.He explained that the entire film was shot in Tamil, and the Telugu version will be a dubbed version.

Since the director and producer are from Telugu background, many people thought it would be a Telugu-Tamil bilingual film.

Fans of Suriya in Telugu states and people in T-town expected the film to be shot in both languages at the same time.So, Venky's statement came as a surprise.He said the decision was based on the story's original language and the comfort of the lead actors.

This is different from Venky's previous film, Sir / Vaathi, which was shot as a Telugu-Tamil bilingual.

Vishwanath & Sons is purely a Tamil film.Suriya's last film, Veerabhadrudu (also known as Karuppu in Tamil), was a Tamil film, but it performed well in Telugu because it was a big entertainer.

Vishwanath & Sons is a movie that focuses on class.

Family audiences in Telugu states might connect more with it if it has a stronger Telugu feel.That's why Venky's statement might worry some people about how well the film will do among Telugu family audiences.

GV Prakash is composing the music for the film.

Vishwanath & Sons is set to be released in theatres on August 14, 2026.In Tamil, it will face competition from Nayanthara's Hi at the box office.

Ramayana Trailer Postponement – A Wise Decision?

 Nitesh Nitwari and Namit Malhotra are making a new version of the Ramayana for modern audiences, with Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi playing Lord Rama and Sita.The film has been in the news a lot, and its teaser got mixed reactions.

Recently, the film's trailer was shown only to the media and received a positive response.

The team had planned to release the trailer today, but there was a sudden delay.The film's producer said the trailer will come out later than planned.

On one hand, fans are disappointed with the delay because they were excited to see the world of Ramayana.

But the delay can be understood.The film needs a strong promotion on social media and attention from the online community.

Right now, the internet is buzzing with news about student protests.

Youth and media around the world are focused on these protests.There's a nationwide protest happening today, with demonstrations planned in several states.

In this sensitive situation, celebrating a film isn't a good idea, but it's important to support the protestors.

Right now, the film might not get the attention it needs.So, delaying the trailer makes sense, and once things settle down, the team can release it more aggressively.

What's most important for the team is to bring back the excitement they lost with the teaser.

The trailer is meant to do that, so the delay is justified.

The team is confident about the content in the trailer this time.

The previous teaser faced criticism for focusing too much on Ranbir and not showing the other actors enough.But this time, they worked hard to make an engaging trailer, according to media reports.

Yash is also part of the film, playing Ravana.

The movie will come in two parts, with the first part planned for release during Diwali 2026.
