Allu Arjun’s Team Reacts To ’42 Rules’ Negativity

 A big argument started earlier today after a brand strategist’s video went around a lot on social media. In the video, the strategist said that meeting Allu Arjun, a popular actor across India, is really hard and that you have to follow 42 rules just to get to him.

The video spread quickly, and people online started talking about whether the rules for meeting celebrities have gone too far or if the claims were just for attention.

 Some people questioned how big the celebrity culture has become, while many of Allu Arjun’s fans said the video’s claims were wrong and not true.

In response, Allu Arjun’s team came out with a statement saying they strongly disagree with the video’s content.

 They said the claims were completely false and not based on any real facts. They also said Allu Arjun has always been respectful and dignified in his actions.

The team also said they are taking this issue seriously and have started legal action against anyone spreading false information.

 They asked people not to share unproven stories.

After Allu Arjun’s team spoke out and warned about spreading false information, the situation changed again.

 The person who ran the podcast said they had taken the video down. She said she did this because her guest was being threatened and harassed, and that the guest works in a respected organization. She didn’t want her own career to be affected because of online pressure.

The podcast admin also said the video was about real facts, not false information, and that protecting a real person was her main concern.

 However, she also criticized Allu Arjun and his team for using their power in a bad way, which made the discussion even more heated.

Ajith Demanding a Shocking Remuneration?

 Some days back, it was reported that Telugu producer Anil Sunkara had approached Tamil actor Ajith for a big-budget movie that was supposed to be directed by Adhik Ravichandran.

 The initial talks were said to be going well, and things were moving in a positive direction.

But now, the project has been put on hold, with no clear word on when or if it will move forward.

 While the exact reasons aren't officially known, people in the film industry suggest that money could be one of the main reasons for the delay. Some reports say that Ajith has asked for a huge amount of money—around 160 crores—for this project, which has left the makers surprised.

There's no denying that Ajith is one of the top stars in Kollywood, with a huge fan following and strong box office numbers.

 However, some industry insiders believe that his recent performance at the box office might not fully support the high amount he’s asking for.

But things changed once these reports started spreading.

 A well-known Tamil media outlet criticized the news, saying the information about Ajith's next film is not true. They mentioned that Anil Sunkara is not the producer, and a Tamil person has already been chosen for the project.

With rising costs and an unpredictable movie market, filmmakers are being more careful before making huge deals.

 However, according to these reports, Ajith’s film is already confirmed, and the Tamil producers are okay with paying him a large sum. The project is expected to be announced soon.

Balayya’s Sankranthi 2027 Plans Changed?

After the failure of *Akhanda 2*, Balakrishna is quietly working on his next film with Gopichand Malineni. Until recently, there were strong reports suggesting that Balakrishna's much-hyped movie was set for a Sankranthi 2027 release, which would have created a big competition during the festival.

But now, sources close to the industry say something different.

 The latest news is that the Balakrishna-Gopichand project is being planned for a much earlier release, likely during Dussehra 2026. This change has come as a surprise to many, especially those in the trade who were already preparing for a big Sankranthi 2027 release.

Interestingly, this shift allows Balayya's film with Harish Shankar to take the Sankranthi 2027 slot as originally planned.

 It is said to be a proper Sankranthi-style entertainer.

If this plan goes ahead, it would mean two Balakrishna movies hitting the theaters just three months apart, which is a big challenge for any actor, even someone of his status.

Managing promotion, audience expectations, and box office success in such a short time is going to be tough.

At the same time, Balayya's fans are excited about getting two films in a row.

 An official announcement is still pending, but if this happens, Balakrishna is preparing for a busy and action-filled time at the box office. Let's see what happens.

An Interesting Three-Way Clash This Valentine’s Week

 Tollywood kicked off 2026 with a big bang, especially during the Sankranti season.

 Four out of the five movies released during that time did really well, making a lot of money for the people involved in the film industry. Chiranjeevi's movie, MSG, set many records, while the other films also made good money despite being up against tough competition.

After the Sankranti festival, the box office hasn't been very exciting.

 None of the recent movies have really caught the attention of moviegoers. Even though a lot of films came out last Friday, the response at the theaters hasn't been great, and the people in the business are disappointed.

Now, everyone is looking forward to the upcoming Valentine's Day weekend.

 This is going to be a special time at the box office because three big movies are set to release. These films have been getting a lot of attention lately because of their fun and engaging promotional campaigns.

Among these three, Vishwak Sen's movie Funky is already getting a head start.

 The movie is a fun and romantic comedy, and its funny trailer caught the audience's attention because of the witty dialogue. The director, Anudeep, is known for his comedic style, and that's expected to be a big strength for this film.

Another movie that could do well during the Valentine's Day weekend is Santosh Sobhan's Couple Friendly.

 This is a young, feel-good drama that deals with live-in relationships. It has an 'A' certificate, which is good for audiences, and it's attracting a lot of attention from younger people because of the fresh team led by Santosh Sobhan and Manasa Varanasi.

Veteran actor Arjun Sarja is making a comeback with a heartwarming film called Seetha Payanam.

 He's not only acting in it but also directing it. This film also marks the debut of his daughter, Aishwarya Sarja, in a small role. The film's intriguing trailer and the presence of well-known actors like Prakash Raj and Sathyaraj have created a lot of excitement around it.

It will be interesting to see which of these films performs best at the box office during the Valentine's Day weekend and takes advantage of the festive mood.

Spirit’: Prakash Raj no longer part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas film after creative difference with the director

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie 'Spirit' featuring Prabhas has kept fans excited and talking. Since the announcement, it has been a popular topic. However, the film has also made news because of some casting issues. Earlier, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone was part of the project, but she left due to some disagreements. Now, new reports say that Prakash Raj is also not part of the movie anymore.

Regarding Prakash Raj's reported exit from 'Spirit', according to OTTPlay, he was earlier announced as a key actor in the film.

 But now, there are rumors that he is no longer involved. The reports say that there was a conflict between the director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and the actor Prakash Raj. The issue was about the script and the way a particular scene was being shot. Moreover, it's said that the actor's behavior on set became difficult, leading the makers to part ways with him. So far, there is no official statement from Prakash Raj or the film team.

Prakash Raj has also criticized the National Film Awards, calling it compromised.

Earlier, Deepika Padukone was supposed to be the female lead in 'Spirit'.

 In early 2024, reports said she left the project. This news surprised many fans. It was reported that she had disagreements with the director over work hours, salary, and profit sharing. Her demands didn’t match the director’s plans, so she left the project. This news added more drama and discussion about the film.

Later, Tripti Dimri, who became famous for her role in 'Animal' and has worked with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on the same film, was announced as the new female lead.

On New Year's Day 2026, the first-look poster was released.

 It showed Prabhas with a wounded back covered in stitches. Tripti Dimri was seen calmly lighting his cigarette.

With Love Gets Open Ground At The Weekend Box Office Collection

 Kollywood film *With Love*, which was made with a very low budget, is doing well at the box office during its first weekend. Even though it didn't have any festival support and faced competition from several new movies, the young drama still managed to get good numbers in the first two days.

According to trade reports, *With Love* earned 3.53 Crores net in two days and is expected to do even better on Sunday.

 The film stars Abishan Jeevinth, known from *Tourist Family*, and Answara Ranjan, a popular name from Malayalam cinema. It released last Friday and had a solid start with 1.60 Crore net.

The movie received positive feedback from both audiences and critics, which helped it do better on the second day, reaching 1.93 Crores net and making the total cross 3.53 Crores.

The coming-of-age romantic story succeeded because of the pleasant performances by the leads and the warm storytelling by first-time director Madan.

 Even though there were some slow parts, the film still caught the attention of viewers.

If the film continues to grow on Sunday, it will have a great opening weekend, especially when you consider the small budget and the talent involved in making it.
