Tollywood Celebs thank VC.Sajjanar for iBomma Admin arrest. The other day&nbsp; Cyber Cell cops of Hyderbad arrested iBomma admin Ravi for indulging in piracy activities and blacked out his youtube channel and websites in an effort to prevent piracy.

In the midst of all this, Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna met the Hyderabad Commissioner VC.Sajjanar. All the Tollywood celebrities thanked VC.Sajjanar and Hyderabad cops for the decisive action.

Chiranjeevi said &ldquo;Piracy has been robbing the industry of huge revenues. Imandhi Ravi openly challenged the police to arrest him &mdash; that level of arrogance was too much. Finally, he is behind bars. My thanks to the Commissioner and his team for this great achievement.&rdquo;

He praised officials like CV Anand and Kavitha, who had worked extensively to curb piracy. He said &ldquo;I heard a 22-year-old from Bihar was earning huge money through piracy. It&rsquo;s unbearable.&rdquo;

He continued &ldquo;We shouldn&rsquo;t give up once our film is released. We must unite and fight this menace to save the revenue of Telugu cinema.&rdquo;

Rajamouli thanked cops saying &ldquo;It was like a typical film sequence &mdash; a villain challenges the hero to catch him. Telangana police nabbed him within two months and proved their strength. Sajjanar and his team deserve full credit.&rdquo;

He cautioned people saying &ldquo;Nothing comes for free. There are always hidden costs. People think watching pirated movies is harmless, but these operators are making huge money. Their equipment and servers cost a bomb. They misuse personal data &mdash; your name, number, or email could fall into the hands of cybercriminals. This can lead to financial fraud and even danger to life.&rdquo;

Nagarjuna recollected that he met CV.Anand two months back and said &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve helped not just Telugu cinema but also the Hindi and Tamil industries. This is a prize catch.&rdquo;

Commissioner Sajjanar issued a strong warning saying &ldquo;Piracy is illegal &mdash; both uploading and watching. This is a big racket. Your data can go into the dark web, which is dangerous.&rdquo;

\r\nHombale Films, the production house behind the massive hits KGF, Kantara, Mahavatar and Salaar, is reportedly in advanced discussions to purchase a stake in Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The buzz began after Diageo India, the current owner, signalled a possible sale, sparking widespread speculation among fans and media. Although Diageo has denied any firm plans, the rumor has generated strong excitement across Karnataka and the broader IPL audience.\r\nRecent reports from Kannada outlets highlight Hombale Films as one of the frontrunners among several interested parties, including Zerodha coâ€‘founder Nikhil Kamath, the Adani Group, JSW Group, Serum Institute&rsquo;s Adar Poonawalla, and Devyani International. The franchise, which finally captured its first IPL title in 2025, is said to be valued at roughly USDâ€¯2â€¯billion (â‚¹17,000â€¯crore), making the potential deal a landmark in sportsâ€‘entertainment collaborations.\r\nHombale Films&rsquo; interest aligns with its recent strategy to diversify beyond film production into sports and other sectors.
