Alia Bhatt is starring in a first ever female spy thriller titled Alpha. The film directed by Shiv Rawail was earlier slated for a grand X Mas release.\r\nHowever, the makers now decided to backoff and release the film next year. The makers announced the new release date couple of minutes back. YRF shared in a statement, &ldquo;Alpha is an extremely special film for us and we want to present the film in its most cinematic self. We have realised that the VFX will take a little longer than what we had initially assumed. We want to leave no stone unturned to make Alpha into a theatrical experience for everyone to cherish. Thus, we will now release the film on April 17, 2026.&rdquo;\r\nThey continued &ldquo;Alpha team wants to put out the best film for audiences to enjoy. It is a fair move by YRF. This was brewing as the VFX team was under a lot of pressure with regards to timelines which was seeming unrealistic. So, the push of release date is due to this only and not because of the current cluttered release window from Avatar to the end of January 2026. There is significant work pending and that&rsquo;s why Alpha is releasing in April and not February,&rdquo;\r\nThe film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in important roles.&nbsp;

\r\nBaahubali: The Epic, the reimagined version of S.S. Rajamouli\'s Baahubali franchise, has stunned audiences with its remarkable performance at the box office. Headlined by Prabhas, the film has achieved an unbelievable milestone, grossing over a million dollars overseas during its first weekend, a feat rarely accomplished by even new tier 2 releases.\r\nThe film\'s first weekend gross stands at around 37+ Cr worldwide, with 26-27 Cr coming from India. This marks the biggest weekend for any re released film. Highest lifetime collections among rereases are by Sanam Teri Kasam\'s 40 Cr gross. Baahubali: The Epic needs just 14-15 Cr more to break this record and become the highest-grossing re-release in India.\r\nBaahubali: The Epic\'s success can be attributed to its captivating storyline, stunning visuals, and exceptional performances from the cast, including Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, and Tamannaah Bhatia.\r\nThe film\'s music, composed by M.M. Keeravaani, has also received widespread acclaim. As Baahubali: The Epic continues its successful run, it remains to be seen how much more it will earn and whether it will shatter more records.\r\n

\r\nShraddha Das differentiates South and North industries. Shraddha Das speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on how North and South industries and how they function.\r\nShe said \"The first big difference is PR. In the South, there\'s no paid PR. Once you sign a film, everyone knows, things move fast. I\'ve signed films over phone calls without even meeting people! The pace is much quicker, you shoot, edit, and release within months. In Hindi cinema, it\'s slower, and you have to constantly stay visible. But what I love about the South is how deeply audiences connect with the stars. Even if a girl does one or two films, they\'ll remember her. They\'ll travel miles just to watch your movie. That kind of loyalty is rare.\"\r\nShe shared \"People were always sensitive; the only difference is that now they have platforms to express it. Earlier, only a few critics reviewed films. Now, everyone can post or comment. The visibility has changed, not the sentiment.\"\r\nShe added \"I\'ve done this without a film background or a big launch. I\'m realistic about where I come from and proud of the journey that chose me.\" Interestingly, acting wasn\'t part of her original plan. \"I wanted to be a singer. I was even working on a music album when someone saw my picture and signed me as an actress. That film didn\'t happen because the person passed away, but later I trained under NSD artists and auditioned endlessly. I must\'ve given 500 auditions. My first big Hindi film was Lahore, which took four years to make. During that time, I signed about 13-15 regional films. My Telugu film with Gopichand made me instantly popular, and since then, I\'ve never been out of work; whether in Hindi or regional cinema.\"\r\n

Later Prabhas\' Kalki 2898, Adipurush, Saaho came and later Shah Rukh Khan\'s Jawan and Salman Khan\'s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo came. In the first day footfalls, Prabhas has five films in the top ten and this proves that he is the India\'s biggest superstar.\r\nBaahubali The Concdlusion got Rs 1000crs&nbsp; and is the highest grosser in the India but some say Aamir Khan\'s Dangal got Rs 1900crs but it got only 511crs in India and Bollywood people are not believing it even though Dangal\'s 1400crs collections came from foregin countries.

\r\nAdivi Sesh rubbishes delays in G2 release. Adivi Sesh is known for his intelligent and intellectual thrillers. He is currently busy with Dacoit and G2. Dacoit locked the release date and it is on race for X Mas while G2 is up for release next year.\r\nG2 was supposed to release in 2025 but now got pushed back to 2026. In the midst of all this, Adivi Sesh said&nbsp; &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always taken this long to make movies. It&rsquo;s just that people are noticing it more now. I took just as long to make Major in the pandemic, but people thought it was the pandemic. Back when I was making Goodachari, I took two years to make it. This is just my pace, and the goal is to develop something stunning so that people don&rsquo;t forget it.&rdquo;\r\nHe said &ldquo;So far the pressure has only been about quality, not about money, because there&rsquo;s no wasteful spending. The producers know where the money is going in, there&rsquo;s no surprises. So for me a film starts with a producer and ends with the producer. t&rsquo;s very important for me that I keep my producer safe.&rdquo;\r\nOn his Bollywood film after Major, he says&nbsp; &ldquo; I was offered, two more movies last month, but sometimes it has to catch your heart. The good thing is that&rsquo;s being shot in Hindi. Right I&rsquo;m looking forward to seeing people seeing me in the film again after major in a few months.&rdquo;\r\nHe adds, &ldquo;I know that, both Dacoit and G2 are Pan India films, and I know that there&rsquo;s, they&rsquo;re gonna appeal to the entire audience.&rdquo;\r\n

\r\nJana Nayakudu Telugu states satellite business deal revealed. Vijay is starring in the film titled Jana Nayagan under the direction of H.Vinoth. The film is releasing in Telugu as Jana Nayakudu.\r\nA distributor speaking to scribes, revealed the film\'s Telugu states satellite business deal. He said &ldquo;A few distributors are being cautious about acquiring the Telugu rights since it&rsquo;s not a regular commercial entertainer,&rdquo; He continued &ldquo;Being a political drama rooted in Tamil Nadu politics, it may not fully resonate with Telugu audiences. Besides, it is a remake of Telugu film \'Bhagavanth Kesari\' and Vijay plays a cop ala Balakrishna in the original. Hence, the film&rsquo;s Telugu version is being valued at around â‚¹10 crore-plus across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is likely to be released on an advance basis rather than an outright purchase.&rdquo;\r\nVijay\'s previous film Leo directed by Lokesh Kangaraj turned out to be a hit in Telugu and so the makers initially demanded â‚¹25 crore for the Telugu rights, but the deal was eventually closed at â‚¹15 crore &mdash; and the film went on to gross â‚¹26 crore, proving to be a smart bet.\r\n&ldquo;In fact, Vijay&rsquo;s market in the Telugu states has seen meteoric growth over the last three to four years,&rdquo; the distributor notes. &ldquo;Even Vaarasudu managed to earn around â‚¹12 crore in the region. Vijay has clearly surpassed his Tamil contemporaries like Suriya, Vishal, and Karthi.&rdquo;\r\n

Ek baat main ye bhi bolun, National Award mein thoda bahut (lobbying) hota hoga. Utna nahi hai jitna baaki ke awards mein hota hai. Baaki ke award ki to baat karo ya na karo, koi farq nahi padta.
