Anand Deverakonda Aces Multi-Faceted Role in Gam Gam Ganesha

Young Telugu star Anand Deverakonda has proven his versatility with the recent release of Gam Gam Ganesha on Amazon Prime Video. The film, currently trending in the top 3 on the platform, showcases Deverakonda’s ability to excel in a demanding commercial hero role.

Being a successful commercial hero requires mastery across various genres: comedy, action, and dance. Deverakonda has demonstrably ticked all these boxes in Gam Gam Ganesha. Previously known for his selective filmography, including films like Dorasani, Pushpaka Vimanam, Middle Class Melodies, and Baby, Deverakonda took a bold step with this project. Gam Gam Ganesha is a “wacky comedy caper,” marking the first time Deverakonda has attempted slapstick comedy, elaborate dance sequences, and action scenes.

The gamble appears to have paid off. Critics are praising Deverakonda’s comedic timing, one-liners, energetic dance moves, charismatic screen presence, and commitment to the action sequences. This successful transformation is reflected in the film’s strong performance on OTT. Gam Gam Ganesha’s position atop the Amazon Prime Video charts is a testament to Deverakonda’s ability to connect with audiences in a new way.

Looking ahead, Deverakonda’s slate is filled with promising projects. He is set to collaborate with directors Sai Rajesh and SKN, the team behind the blockbuster film Baby. Additionally, he will reunite with Vinod Anantoju, director of Middle Class Melodies, and has another project lined up with Studio Green. With this diverse range of films, Anand Deverakonda appears poised to continue his successful journey in the Telugu film industry.

Fahadh Faasil Faces Human Rights Inquiry

Fahadh Faasil, the Malayalam superstar whose menacing “Pushpa” villain role left audiences yelling “Party leda Pushpa,” is facing a new kind of action – a Human Rights Commission inquiry. While Faasil is known for delivering blockbusters like “Avesham” and producing successful films, his latest project, “Premalu,” has landed him in hot water.

The controversy stems from the film’s shooting at the Angamaly Taluk Government Hospital. Allegations surfaced that the production crew, led by Faasil’s company Fahadh Faasil and Friends, filmed in the casualty ward without proper permission, causing distress to patients. The Ernakulam District Medical Officer confirmed the shoot but claimed it was authorized.

However, the Human Rights Commission isn’t convinced. They’ve demanded an explanation from Faasil’s company, while patients expressed frustration at being denied access to the emergency room during filming. The producers maintain they followed protocol and secured permission, but the Kerala Human Rights Association has filed a suo motu case against Faasil. Now, the actor-producer waits to see if the Kerala film industry’s hero will become the villain in this real-life drama.
