\r\nSalman reacts on Pan Masala ad row. It is known that Bollywood stars landed in trouble for promoting Pan Masala ads and Consumer Court sent notices for them.\r\nReplying to the Kota Consumer Court, Salman Khan shared his version on endorsing Pan Masala ad. He said he wasn\'t endorsing gutka or pan masala but only cardamom. The Kota Consumer Court sent notices reacting to the complaint filed by Pradeep Instructor Singh Hani.\r\nRepresenting Salman Khan, advocate Ashish Dubey informed the court that the Consumer Commission lacks the jurisdiction to address the complaint. He clarified that the actor is neither a manufacturer nor a service provider for pan masala, arguing that involving him in the case is legally unjustified. The court posted the case for next hearing on 9 December 2025.\r\nThe petitioner earlier said &ldquo;Salman Khan is a role model for many people. We have filed a complaint against it in the Kota Consumer Court, and notices have been issued for a hearing. Celebrities or film stars in other countries don\'t even promote cold drinks, but they are promoting tobacco and pan masala. I urge them not to spread the wrong message to the youth, as pan masala is one of the leading causes of mouth cancer.&rdquo;\r\n

Prabhas doing versatile roles to capture the imagination of all. Prabhas has been doing versatile roles after the sensation of Baahubali. He did mass action entertainer Saaho and then starred in the romantic entertainer Radhe Shyam and as Lord Ram in Aadi Purush. He did a cameo Rudra in Manchu Vishnu's Kannappa.
He is now starring in a horror entertainer The Raja Saab, patriotic flick Fauji, mass actioner Salaar sequel and sci fi sequel Kalki 2898AD. He is also starring in Spirit in which he will be seen in the role of a powerful police officer.
Producer of The Raja Saab, TG.Vishwa Prasad shared &ldquo;Prabhas has the courage to take up varied roles and offer something fresh every time to his legion of fans,&rdquo; He continued &ldquo;He hasn&rsquo;t attempted a horror-comedy before, yet he slipped into the role with consummate ease. He will be delivering a light-hearted performance in one avatar, and in another, he transforms into a fiery, larger-than-life persona to enthrall his fans.&rdquo;
Fauji director Hanu Raghavapudi said &ldquo;Prabhas plays a larger-than-life soldier in Fauji. I wanted to infuse his character with traits inspired by legendary warriors. For me, Arjuna, Karna, and Ekalavya represent skill, sacrifice, and devotion. I often wondered how the Mahabharata would have changed if Karna had joined the Pandavas &mdash; the war would have taken a completely different turn. Fauji is an action-packed story set in the 1940s colonial era, with references to slokas and the Bhagavad Gita,&rdquo;
Director Hemanth Madhukar says &ldquo;Prabhas has played devotional roles with remarkable dignity and grace,&rdquo; He adds &ldquo;He brings a unique charm to such characters. His handsome features, expressive eyes, endearing smile, and noble demeanor all help sustain the spiritual gravitas these roles demand.&rdquo;
He goes on saying &ldquo;He is consistently pushing the boundaries of Telugu cinema,&rdquo; He shares &ldquo;Prabhas is unafraid of experimenting with roles, and I hope more stars follow suit to broaden the landscape of Telugu storytelling.&rdquo;

Keerthy Suresh's latest film, Revolver Rita, has crashed on its opening day, dealing a huge blow to the actress. The film, which was released with much anticipation, failed to generate buzz and received overwhelmingly negative reviews. This is not the first time Keerthy Suresh has faced box office disappointment, as her previous films Siren and Baby John also failed to impress last year.

Directed by JK Chandru, Revolver Rita is a crime comedy that stars Keerthy Suresh, Radikaa Sarathkumar, Sunil, and Super Subbarayan. Despite Keerthy Suresh's efforts to promote the film, it has received poor word of mouth and is expected to struggle at the box office. The film's weak writing and dull screenplay have been criticized, with many viewers feeling that it lacks energy and strong moments to hold interest.

Revolver Rita is Keerthy Suresh's only theatrical release this year, making its failure a significant setback. The film's poor performance is also a disappointment given the actress's efforts to revive her career with this project. The coming days will determine the film's financial performance, but recovery looks unlikely unless collections improve sharply.

The film's failure adds to Keerthy Suresh's string of unsuccessful female centric projects, including Penguin, Miss India, Good Luck Sakhi, Saani Kaayidham, and Raghu Thatha. With multiple delays hurting the film's momentum, strong word of mouth was crucial to its success. Unfortunately, underwhelming reviews have affected bookings, with reports indicating cancelled shows in Hyderabad due to low turnout.

\r\nAndhra King Taluka, the latest film of Ram Pothineni, had a disappointing opening at the box office in India due to its genre and Thursday release. The film collected around â‚¹7 crore gross worldwide on day one, which is not a huge figure. Day 2 saw a slight drop from day 1, which is not good news for the movie. However, the second show received strong occupancies, giving some hope to the team.\r\nThe film needs to collect much more than the day 1 numbers to score a good weekend. Andhra King Taluka needs to collect 50 Cr gross worldwide to break even, and the first weekend should aim for at least 35 Cr. The competition from Akhanda 2, releasing the following weekend, makes it challenging to achieve significant numbers in the second weekend.\r\nA strong jump over the weekend is crucial for ATK to gain momentum. The positive reviews and encouraging word of mouth are expected to help the film from today. The film\'s moderate pricing across territories will also help its recovery. At the United States box office, the film reportedly collected over 250 K dollars on its opening day, which is seen as another positive sign for the team.\r\nAndhra King Taluka is expected to register strong numbers as the word of mouth and reviews are in favour of the film. With a strong weekend, the film can enter the safe zone, and that is exactly what Ram Pothineni needs right now. The film\'s future depends on its performance over the weekend, and it\'s expected to be a make or break situation for Andhra King Taluka.\r\n
