Nilave showcases all kinds of emotions. Even as times change, intense music remains timeless. That is also the reason I am here today. Nilave comes with wonderful photography, direction, and apt casting. I have watched the film. It is a meaningful story. I believe the audience will judge it as a musical love story that deserves to be watched in theatres, and it will turn out to be a feel-good film like some classics. The songs are very good. When we asked Keeravani garu to listen to them once, he listened and extended his support by promoting them, which created a positive buzz for the film. On this occasion, I once again extend my wishes to everyone.&rdquo; It\'s known that the audience see movies such as Sakhi and Ye Maya Chesave as classics in the romance genre.\r\nHeroine Shreyasi Sen said, &ldquo;I am very happy to be acting as a heroine in the Telugu film industry, which is one of the biggest film industries.

I thank the team for making such a wonderful film.&rdquo;\r\nHero Soumith Poladi said, &ldquo;From the time I told my father that I wanted to enter films, he has been extremely supportive. Sai K. Vennam is the one who shaped me into a hero and a director. Since childhood, I have had the desire to become an actor, and Megastar Chiranjeevi has been my inspiration. I am also a writer. Since I come from Karimnagar, those shades are reflected in my writing. My debut film is releasing on February 13. We held the premiere yesterday, and everyone appreciated it, saying it was very good. I hope the audience will also bless it tomorrow. Just as KGF stands tall in the action cinema genre, Nilave will stand out in the genre of love stories.&rdquo;\r\nDirector Sai K. Vennam said, &ldquo;Recently, a director mentioned that while you can make a good film with Rs 30 lakhs, you need to spend crores on publicity. Our film is content-driven. I have been able to make the audience believe in its worth. After making Court, Nani garu famously asked the audience not to watch his next movie if they didn\'t like it. But we don&rsquo;t want to make such statements today. We have a good film. Please watch it and bless us. Everyone involved in this film may be newcomers, but with everyone&rsquo;s collective effort, we are releasing this movie.&rdquo;\r\nMusic Director Kalyan Nayak said, &ldquo;Music plays a crucial role in a feel-good love story. I have composed beautiful music for this film. I would like to especially thank Sunitha garu for appreciating our music and helping it reach Keeravani garu. Though the film has eleven songs in total, they all move along with the story and are melodious. Among musical love stories, Nilave will be like KGF.\"\r\nProducer Raj Allada said, &ldquo;We held the premiere just yesterday and received a very good response. It is a beautiful musical love story. Even though the cast consists of newcomers, everyone performed very well. The hero-cum-director impressed by immersing himself completely in the role.

Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra\'s Varanasi directed by Rajamouli is set for a grand release on 7 April 2027. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in an important role.\r\nIn the midst of all this, Nick Jonas, husband of Priyanka Chopra speaking to scribes had this to say about Varanasi.&nbsp; &ldquo;Priyanka has been shooting one movie for 14 months, on and off. It&rsquo;s a South Indian film with SS Rajamouli, who directed RRR, his last movie. This is his next big film; it&rsquo;s going to be incredible.&rdquo;\r\nHe also shared his love for Indian music. He said&nbsp; &ldquo;The melodies are just so incredible. They are on a scale that we are not as familiar with over here. The thing I love about Hindi music and music from Southeast Asia is that, a lot of the time, the music comes from a film and becomes famous. So often it&rsquo;s the actors who are lip-syncing to someone else&rsquo;s voice. But there are these music composers who specialise in making songs sound like big hits and fit cinematically. That&rsquo;s something very inspiring to me. There&rsquo;s so much great music in Indian cinema.&rdquo;

Milky Beauty Tamannaah became the new brand ambassador for KSDCL and launched more than 57 of its products including the Mysore Sandal Soap which earlier created a Non Kannadiga controversy.\r\nTamanhaah said , \"Mysore Sandal Soap is not just a soap. It is deeply associated with emotions, childhood memories and nostalgia. It represents a perfect blend of purity and authenticity. Mysore Sandal Soap holds a special place in people\'s hearts, and I consider it a privilege to be associated with this institution as its brand ambassador.\"\r\nBJP MP from Chikkaballapura and former state Minister K Sudhakar asked, \"Couldn\'t the traitorous Congress government in the state find Kannada film stars.\" \"Although many stars from our own Karnataka were eligible to be appointed as brand ambassadors for Karnataka\'s famous international brand Mysore Sandal Soap, a film actress from another state, from another language has been appointed as the brand ambassador by paying crores of rupees. This is yet another proof of the Congress party\'s anti-Kannada mentality,\"\r\nHowwever, State Industries Minister M B Patil said,\"Six months ago I had clarified categorically why Tamannaah Bhatia was chosen as the brand ambassador. A committee formed for this had gone through five-six names, which included two-three names from Karnataka, but they had endorsed some other product. If you endorse some other product you cannot be brand ambassador for this product. So they were not considered,\"

\r\nMany biopics on PM Modi in various langauges are on the anvil. Tollywood is also coming up with couple of biopics on PM Modi titled Chai Wala starring Shiva Kandukuri, Teju Ashwini under the direction of Pramod Harsa and Maa Vande starring Unni Mukndan under the direction of Kranti Kumar.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nA source shares &ldquo;The shooting is expected to begin in 2027, and early preparations have started,&rdquo; Maa Vande actor Shiva Kandukuri says , &ldquo;We began our journey with the title Chai Wala and worked very hard to bring it to the audience. While respecting censor rules and guidelines, we decided to change the title to Nawab Caf&eacute;, which truly reflects the story and the soul of our film.&rdquo;\r\nThe producer &ldquo;I went to Mumbai and spoke to the censor team. They clearly said the title Chai Wala cannot be used. I hope the audience supports our new title.&rdquo;\r\nMaa Vande actor Unni Mukundan says &ldquo;It is under their radar, hence they have to obtain all necessary permissions; without them, it would be very difficult to proceed with censors.&rdquo;\r\nFormer Censor Board Member Shailaja Reddy says &ldquo;If real names are used or actual events are depicted, approvals from the person concerned or their family members become crucial; otherwise, the censor board may raise objections. Fictionalised elements usually do not require such permissions. When making a biopic on a living personality, it is always safer to secure all clearances early rather than getting stuck during the censoring process, where even certification could become a problem.&rdquo;\r\n

Tamannaah\'s Ragini MMS 3 shelved. Movie lovers got excited when Ekta Kapoor announced that she will be doing Ragini MMS3 with Tamannaah in the lead. But now it is coming out that the project has been shelved.\r\nThe makers decided to put the project on hold as the director Sahir Reza couldn\'t adjust his dates due to his prior commitments. The Ragini MMS franchise started off in 2011 with Rajkummar Rao and Kainaz Motivala, followed by Ragini MMS 2 in 2014. The sequel is known for the song Baby Doll featuring Sunny Leone. A recent report suggested that the makers are now looking to recreate the magic of that song with Tamannaah Bhatia in the third part.\r\nThe sources revealed&nbsp; \"Raza is currently serving as showrunner on a Netflix series. A recent mandate from the streaming platform requires the showrunner\'s daily presence on set. This requirement has created a scheduling overlap with Ragini MMS 3, forcing the team to part ways with the director.\"\r\nThe source shared , \"This development has left Ekta Kapoor\'s film temporarily stranded, with no clarity on its production timeline. Although they are actively looking for a replacement director, the film doesn\'t seem to be starting anytime soon, marking a significant hurdle for the franchise.\"\r\n<div></div>
