Shraddha Das who made an impact with her performances in Telugu with films like Darling and Arya 2 shared her experiences.\r\nShe says \"Actually, I debuted in both Hindi and Telugu almost simultaneously. My Hindi debut was Lahore, and around the same time I started working in Telugu as well. I come from a completely non-film background &mdash; door-door tak koi bhi nahi hai. I got all my work through auditions, whether it was Hindi or Telugu. I started with small roles and kept working consistently. While I was doing films like Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji in Hindi, I was also doing South films. Then suddenly, overnight, everything changed when I got a call for Arya 2 with Allu Arjun. I didn&rsquo;t even realize how big that film was at the time. But after its release, my life changed completely. I ended up doing around 30 films in the South.\"\r\nAbout her role in Arya2, she said \"I played a character who is obsessively in love with Allu Arjun. He is in love with Kajal Aggarwal, Kajal loves someone else &mdash; so it&rsquo;s like a rectangle of one-sided love! Everyone is in love with the wrong person. People really loved my character because of that intensity. Interestingly, the film was re-released this year and became a super hit again. Arya 2 is not just a film &mdash; it&rsquo;s an emotion for the audience.\"\r\nOn doing roles of one side love, she said \"Not at all. When you&rsquo;re getting opportunities to work with such big stars and big banners, you don&rsquo;t analyse whether the love is one-sided or two-sided. You just grab the opportunity. Especially when you come from no background, you accept good work with gratitude. At that stage, exposure and learning matter more than anything else.\"\r\nOn whether she is dying to work with any top stars, Shraddha said \"I&rsquo;m not dying to work with anyone. I&rsquo;m genuinely happy with the work I&rsquo;m doing now. Of course, I feel extremely proud seeing where Allu Arjun is today &mdash; he&rsquo;s one of the biggest stars in the country. If a good opportunity comes my way tomorrow, I would love to work with them again. But I&rsquo;m very shy about asking for work. I believe what is meant to happen will happen.\"

\r\nAllu Arjun, riding high on the success of the Pushpa franchise, is expanding his pan-India footprint with a new blockbuster directed by Atlee. After blockbuster Pushpa 2, plans for a third installment are already underway, signalling the franchise&rsquo;s growing scale. Now, buzz suggests Arjun&rsquo;s Atlee-directed film, initially a single part, might split into two, with an official announcement expected soon.\r\nThe film, featuring Deepika Padukone as the lead and Mrunal Thakur in a key role, is being produced on a massive â‚¹800 crore budget by Sun Pictures. With top Hollywood VFX teams on board, the scale is ambitious. A chunk of shooting wrapped up in Mumbai, with April 2026 targeted for Part 1.\r\nSources confirm the decision to go two parts was driven by the story&rsquo;s vast scope. Allu Arjun plays a superhero, and a gripping promo already created a buzz. Fans are eager to see what Atlee, fresh from Jawan&rsquo;s success with SRK, brings. Janhvi Kapoor might join soon, adding to the excitement.\r\nIn today&rsquo;s cinema, scale and budget often dictate franchises. Splitting into two parts makes sense recovering costs is tough, and OTT deals aren&rsquo;t as lucrative anymore. If Part 1 does well, Part 2 could amplify profits. The title&rsquo;s still under wraps, but AA22xA6 is set for a thrilling ride.\r\n

Films are supposed to be the blend of emotions and stories evolved around it. But of late, filmmakers and stars are concentrating only on one part of it and doing away with other elements.\r\nThey are concentrating only on action entertainers and there also they are doing away with romance and now changed the trend completely. Now a days, people are under the impression the more action and violence, the more hype the film will get. They are not even bothered if the film gets A certificate from the Censor Board. Even if the Censor Board suggest few changes, they are not keen to do away with the violent acts.\r\nAlll the hit films like Animal, Salaar, HIT3, Marco got A certificates and the latest Dhurandhar also got A certificate. Dhurandhar already entered into Rs 500crs club. The action and violent sequences leaves all shellshocked. Even Akhanda2 got A certificate and the makers didnot compromise on the violence. In the coming days, A certificate may be considered as the success gateway.&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>
