Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli's Varanasi is capturing the imagination of all. The film is racing for a spectacular release on 7 April 2027.In the meantime, Rajamouli speaking to scribes, shared mindblowing update on the film's shoot. He said &nbsp;“What I can say is we have completed a major portion of the shoot, all the important big spectacle action sequences are done,” Rajamouli says. We are [now] into doing the smaller, interconnecting scenes so hopefully, by September, maybe a little bit into October, we should be finishing shooting.”He added “From the beginning, we knew the sequences that were conceived would be best justified in [the] Imax format – we didn’t change anything just for the format,” he says, noting that any adjustments made were minor. “Because our eyes have been trained to shoot in the CinemaScope format, which obviously I love, [we were] just thinking about, we need to frame this [to] look good both in Imax as well as CinemaScope, the anamorphic framing, so that took a little bit of adjustment for the first few initial days. Then we understood how to do it.” &nbsp;---- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

Rhea Chakraborty speaking at a show said that she planned a different name for her clothing brand,Chapter2.She said , "I was very keen on naming the brand Chudail Ka Badla (The Witch's Revenge). I was completely sure about it and even imagined creating cool T-shirts and merchandise. Everyone told me not to be so negative, but I kept saying, ‘It’s not negative, it’s funny'. Then I wanted to call the brand Black Sheep, and I even got bracelets made with Black Sheep written on them because that’s how we felt at the time.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Rahul Ravindran on making film on women atrocities on men. Rahul Ravindran came up with a hard hitting film The Girlfriend which featured Rashmika Mandanna and Deekshith Shetty. The film highlighted the mens atrocities on women.Now, Rahul Ravindran reacted to a fan's question on whether he will make a film on women atrocities on men. He posted , “I don’t claim to know everything bro… so educate me if I am wrong. But I don’t see atrocities of ‘women’ on ‘men’ at all. I see some horrible incidents of sociopathic human beings who happen to be women, committing horrible crimes. On the other hand… I see a self sustaining system that has lasted centuries that suffocates women… that through invisible, everyday micro aggressions, forces them to shrink their identities. That doesn’t offer them an equal world. This is from my perspective. I’ve seen so many women around me suffer silently because of it. And I chose to convey that through this story. I felt responsible for it as a man… because I benefit from the power equation.”He added, “I haven’t read the details of this particular case yet… I will do so. And if there’s a story that I find interesting to tell… I will do that too. But it would be about one particular woman committing a crime. Not crimes of women on men. There’s a difference, the way I see it. Mind you, such incidents of crime are ghastly and terrible. But what I was trying to do is completely different. Had nothing to do with such crimes.” When pointed to death of Pune man Ketan Agarwal has shocked the nation. Siya Goyal is accused along with her alleged lover of murdering him.&nbsp; - Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;
