\r\nIndian cinema has witnessed a significant shift in recent years, with films rooted in mythology and divinity becoming a box office goldmine. This trend, which started in Telugu cinema with films like Karthikeya 2 and Kantara (Kannada), has now spread to Bollywood, with films like Adipurush and upcoming Ramayana. The success of these films can be attributed to their ability to tap into deeply ingrained cultural traditions and evoke emotions in audiences across age groups.\r\nTelugu cinema has a long history of producing successful devotional films, such as Ammoru, Annamayya, and Sri Ramadasu. These films have been able to blend mythology with contemporary stories, making them appealing to a wide range of audiences. The recent success of films like Karthikeya 2, HanuMan, Kalki and Mirai has further solidified the position of mythology based films in Telugu cinema. With advanced VFX and production values, these films deliver both visual grandeur and spiritual satisfaction, making them a staple of Indian cinema.\r\nThe slate of upcoming films in Telugu cinema includes several devotional projects, such as Vishwambhara, Swayambhu, Nagabandham, and Jatadhara. These films are expected to continue the trend of mythology based blockbusters, with their blend of entertainment and cultural pride. Kannappa, a film based on the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva, is another recent project that bringw one of Indian mythology\'s most emotional tales of faith and sacrifice to life.\r\nThe success of mythology based films can be attributed to several factors, including cultural resonance, pan-India appeal, spectacle, and spirituality. These films have the ability to pull entire families to theaters, boosting box office longevity. With audiences increasingly seeking cinema that blends entertainment with cultural pride, the shift from demi-gods to gods isn\'t just a passing trend, it\'s shaping up to be Indian cinema\'s most bankable formula of the decade.\r\n

\r\nRana on backing Sabar Bonda. Hot Hunk Rana is known for his penchant to promote new and exciting projects that appeal to viewers. Now speaking to scribes, he shared why he is backing Sabar Bonda.\r\nHe said &ldquo;Pratiksha Rao [a partner at Spirit Media], first saw the film a year ago and was blown away by it. She instantly said, &lsquo;This is our next film to distribute!&rsquo; I said, &lsquo;Okay, cool!&rsquo; (smiles) Then I saw it and was blown away as well, especially because of the honesty of this film. It was so honest. The film came out in such a positive light, in such a heart-warming way.&rdquo;\r\nSabar Bonda is a Marathi film and is helmed by Rohan Parashuram Kanawade that won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.\r\nRana says, &ldquo;The whole idea why we started Spirit Media was because we wanted another sort of voice in this medium, as a sort of alternative. It cannot be regional alone. We did this for a while in Telugu. It is a closed ecosystem, where we know when to release and publicise it, so we have got some maturity in that space.&rdquo;\r\n

Did Manchu Lakshmi talk about Samantha. Manchu Lakshmi is known for her strong viewers and powerful take on contemporary issues. Interacting with the scribes, she said super star's ex wife is not getting work though she was willing to do as filmmakers are scared of casting her as they donot want to antagonise the super star and his family.

Many started wondering whether Manchu Lakshmi was talking about Samantha. Manchu Lakshmi said &ldquo;There is a superstar&rsquo;s ex-wife who works here. She got divorced, and since then, even films that were once offered to her have been taken away. Oddu le amma, aina emana antaru emo (He might feel bad and say something), is what they tell her. She is waiting to do good work, and I don&rsquo;t need to name her.&rdquo;

She continued &ldquo;You&rsquo;re thinking it&rsquo;s Samantha. There&rsquo;s not one superstar; around five to six of them have been divorced. And I am close to all of them. But my point is, a man will face something like that; his life will never change. But for a woman, once she marries, she has kids, has in-laws, she takes on a lot of responsibilities. No one gives us freedom; we have to take it on our own.&rdquo;

Kamal Haasan already announced that &ldquo;We don\'t know if it\'s a Tharamana Sambavam (wonderful occurrence) but it\'s good if the audience likes it. If they\'re happy, we\'ll like it. Otherwise, we\'ll continue trying. This was long coming. We were separate because they gave one biscuit to both of us. But the half biscuit makes us both happy, so we\'ll come together.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;It is you all who thought/created the competition. We don\'t have any competition between us. It\'s important that we got the chance to do this. He is like that, so am I. It might be a surprise, business-wise, but we feel at least now it\'s happening. We always wanted to produce each other\'s films.&rdquo;\r\nNow, Super Star Rajinikanth speaking to scribes opened up on the multi starrer. He said&nbsp; \"I am doing a film with Raaj Kamal Films International and Red Giant Movies next.\" When prodded if he was excited about collaborating with Kamal Haasan for the project, he remarked, \"Director hasn\'t been decided yet.

\r\nIleana shares her thought on epidural. Ileana who is blessed with two kids with Michael Dolan speaking to scribes,shared her thoughts on epidural.\r\nSpeaking to scribes,she said &ldquo;I said I&rsquo;m going to go un medicated this time. I&rsquo;m not going to do the epidural. I told my nurse that we need to come up with a plan because this is what I want to do. And it was great because she worked with me, and we actually did it. It was amazing,\"\r\nShe added &ldquo;&hellip;the second time, it&rsquo;s not just the baby, it&rsquo;s the baby, it&rsquo;s your toddler, it&rsquo;s you. It&rsquo;s all those factors. It&rsquo;s trying to figure out yourself physically and get your strength back, and the new mental space is completely messed up. So it&rsquo;s incredibly hard,\"\r\nOn Papparazi clicking her children, she said &ldquo;It would definitely have been hard for me to be photographed with my babies. It would just be incredibly confusing for them. And it&rsquo;s not fair to them because they wouldn&rsquo;t understand what is going on. I would not be okay with it,\"\r\nShe added &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had a good relationship with the paps in Bombay, and every time I have told them, &lsquo;Listen, I&rsquo;m not comfortable, please don&rsquo;t take a picture,&rsquo; they&rsquo;ve actually respected my wishes. So if it were to come to that, I think they would understand not to take pictures of the babies.\"\r\n

\r\nManchu Manoj compares Black Sword with these characters. Manchu Manoj\'s performance in the role of Black Sword in Teja Sajja\'s Mirai is winning the hearts of all.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nSpeaking to scribes, he compared Black Sword role with these characters. He said &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve seen people in theatres screaming when my character comes on-screen. I came back apprehensive years later, and I believe that receiving such applause and love is devudu ichina daya (God&rsquo;s grace). I must also thank my wife (Bhuma Mounika) and family for their support,&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;I am feeling out of this world&hellip;like all my doubts have been answered. I was numb before the film&rsquo;s release, but compared to any of my other films, I feel very confident now after the response to Mirai.&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a lot like Thanos, someone who&rsquo;s so powerful, he can only be beaten when all the Avengers come together. After Mahabir got control of the nine grandas (texts) left behind by Emperor Ashoka, even the weapon Mirai couldn&rsquo;t beat him. Shri Ram had to come down to beat him with the bow Kodanda, like he did with Ravana,&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t see Mahabir as your token villain. What he believed, I believed too when I was playing him,&rdquo; he says, adding, &ldquo;I also realised that there are some things I can agree with him on. He is fighting for equality at the end of the day, he&rsquo;s angry at God because he blames Him for all the injustice in the world.&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;The violent path he chooses and the anger at God are the only things I don&rsquo;t agree with. The stunts were fun and easy. What was tough was that, unlike my character, I am religious. I did not want to be disrespectful to God despite my character feeling that anger, and the director (Karthik Gattamneni) ensured we never crossed that line.&rdquo;\r\n

\r\nAamir Khan criticises actors for this reason. Aamir Khan speaking to scribes attacked actors for their demands and troubling producers.\r\nSpeaking to scribes, he said&nbsp; \"I hear that actors of today also don&rsquo;t care to pay their drivers. They ask their producers to pay them. Not just that, but the producer is also paying for the actor&rsquo;s spot boy. They don&rsquo;t stop here. They make the producer pay for their trainers, cooks. I have heard that now they keep a live kitchen on set and expect the producer to pay for it. They even demand multiple vanity vans for kitchens and gyms.\"\r\nHe continued &ldquo;These actors are earning in crores and yet not capable of paying for their needs? I find this extremely strange. It is very sad and harmful for the industry. I am saying it strongly that it&rsquo;s a shame that, even today, there are actors who are being very unfair to their producers and their films.\"\r\nHe added &ldquo;There was a system that the producer would pay for the actor&rsquo;s driver and his help on set. I found this practice very strange. I thought, &lsquo;The driver and the help are working for me, why is the producer paying for it?&rsquo; If the producer is paying my personal staff, does that mean he will also start paying for my kids&rsquo; school fees? Where will this stop?\"\r\nHe continued \"But paying for my personal driver or help, how are they contributing to the film? They are working for me. It is my responsibility to pay them, especially when I am earning well,\"\r\nHe concluded &ldquo;Even today, when I take my family for an outdoor shoot, I always pay from my pocket. I would never expect any of my producers to bear that extra cost. Actors today are taking advantage of their status. Their demands only project them in the wrong light.\"\r\n
