They're seriously exploring a large-scale mythological-action spectacle which they plan to co-produce under their respective banners. Aditya will start working on the script next year, while Ranveer completes his other commitments. If all goes well, this film will go on floors in early 2027."
The source continues "Contrary to what many might expect, this latest outing is not a revival of Aditya&rsquo;s long-shelved magnum opus, &lsquo;The Immortals of Ashwatthama.&rsquo; The director has moved on from that project after it failed to materialize despite years of development. Instead, he is now working on an equally ambitious, fresh project steeped in Hindu mythology, with Ranveer playing a kind of larger-than-life character he has never portrayed before."

\r\nKamalinee Mukherjee on why she quit Tollywood. Kamalinee Mukherjee captured the imagination of all with her performances in films like Godavari, Anand and Gamyam. However she silently disappeared from Tollywood much to the disappointment of all her fans.\r\nNow, speaking to scribes, she shared the real reason behind her decision. She said she was hurt with the way her character was portrayed in Ram Charan\'s Govindudu Andarivadele. She said &ldquo;Not because of the crew. Because all my co-actors and people on the set were very amazing and supportive. I just wasn&rsquo;t very comfortable about how my role in the film turned out. So, it wasn&rsquo;t anything contentious. It wasn&rsquo;t like a fight or something. I just stepped back from Telugu films after that for a while because I felt hurt. I felt hurt about the way it (her role) turned out.&rdquo;\r\nShe added &ldquo;Sometimes you think that this is your scene. And this is the best thing. Then, when you go back and watch, the director realises it didn&rsquo;t come out the way you did, or it doesn&rsquo;t have the impact it&rsquo;s supposed to. And we are not made aware of those things. But the way I felt was very personal to me and that kind of hurt me. I thought I needed to step back from Telugu films and maybe try other languages.&rdquo;\r\n

\r\nCoolie makers get HC shock over censor certification. Super Star Rajinikanth\'s Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj which released on 14 Aug 2025, got A certificate from the Censor Board.\r\nAhead of the release, the makers boasted as if getting A certificate is a sure shot to success. However, with the things turning out to be different and collections not as expected, they approached the Madras High Court against the Censor Board\'s A certification.\r\nNow, the High Court, after hearing the arguments, gave a shock to the Coolie makers. Justice T.V. Thamilselvi rejected the appeal filed by the production house under Section 5 of the Copyright Act of 1957. The appellant had challenged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)&lsquo;s decision that the movie was unfit to be watched by children due to its violent content and sustained portrayal of smoking and consumption of liquor.\r\nSenior counsel J Ravindran appeared for the petitioner and stated that scenes featuring alcohol consumption and bad words were removed from the film. Despite this, CBFC issued an \"A\" certificate to the production company.\r\nDefending its decision before the High Court, the Board said, Section 58(2) of the Cinematograph Act authorises the Centre to issue such directions, as it may deem fit, setting out the principles which shall guide the CBFC in issuing appropriate certificate to films intended for public exhibition.\r\nJustice T V Thamilsevi rejected the petition made by Sun Pictures justifying a U/A certificate under Section 5 of the Copyright Act of 1957. The Judge mentioned \"The civil miscellaneous petition (filed by Sun TV Network) is dismissed for want of merit.\"\r\n
