Pan-India Star Prabhas Is Unstoppable

Prabhas is picking up the pace with an impressive lineup of projects. After spending five years on the Baahubali series, he is working on other films now. Last year, he ended a series of underwhelming performances with the success of Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD. Currently, he is working on Raja Saab under the direction of Maruti, with plans to commence production on Kalki 2 shortly.

A recent update that will excite Prabhas’ fans involves his highly anticipated project, Spirit. This film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for Animal, and is expected to start filming in December. The buzz around Spirit is significant, as it marks Prabhas’ return to a powerful role—a police officer.

Spirit is touted to be a stylish action entertainer produced by Bollywood’s Bhushan Kumar, with a substantial budget. Reports indicate that Prabhas has set aside time for the film’s schedule, even as he continues working on projects such as Fauji. Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is a period drama that has already garnered high expectations.

Prabhas will showcase a new look for this film, adding to the anticipation. Meanwhile, Kalki 2 will move forward soon, with parts of its sequel reportedly already filmed during the production of Kalki 1, which crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark.

A Firestorm Over Fun: Rana and Teja’s IIFA Punches Ignite Fan Fury

Like a spark igniting a wildfire, the IIFA awards ceremony, hosted by Rana Daggubati and Teja Sajja, has ignited a social media storm. While the duo’s comedic timing and Bollywood-style banter aimed to entertain, it inadvertently triggered a backlash from fans of other Tollywood stars.

The controversy primarily stems from their satirical take on the highly-anticipated Sankranti clash between “Hanuman” and “Guntur Kaaram.” Teja’s past comments about a potential festival winner, seemingly directed at Mahesh Babu, further fueled the fire. Additionally, Prabhas’ fans expressed discontent over a joke about the “Adipurush” controversy.

While such comedic punches are commonplace in Bollywood, the Tollywood audience seems less accustomed to this style of humor. This cultural divide has led to mixed reactions, with some praising the duo’s bold attempt and others criticizing their insensitive remarks.

Amidst the online uproar, Teja Sajja is currently filming for “Mirai,” while Rana Daggubati is gearing up for the second season of the blockbuster series “Rana Naidu.”
