Dhanush own voice for Kuberaa Telugu - Tamil average Box office / Only Ranveer as Shathimaan

 Sir/Vaathi was the first bilingual actor of Dhanush, and he once again acted in a bilingual movie, Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula with Nagarjuna in a crucial role. Though the film received superb collections, Kuberaa’s Tamil version underperformed at the box office.

Rarely do we see day 2 being bigger than the opening day for a film, but Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa achieved it. The film sold 328K tickets on the BookMyShow ticketing app on the opening day, and it sold 339K tickets on the second day.

Overall, the day 2 collections of the film are 10% higher than the opening day. But the only concern for the film is the Tamil version’s box office performance. The film has to witness a 30-40% jump from day 1, as it received an average start. 

However, the day 2 and day 3 jump for the Tamil version is minimal, and it is not happening in the expected range. So, despite having a superb weekend in theaters, Kuberaa’s Tamil version underperformed at the box office.

If the film sees good collections in Tamil like Telugu, then the weekend could have been much bigger. The trade expected a 50-50 contribution from Tamil and Telugu at the box office.

But as far as 2-day collections are concerned, 70% of the numbers are coming from Telugu and 30% from Tamil.

 

Talented filmmaker who has been behind Minnal Murali and Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, Basil Joseph, is going to make this Indian Superhero film as per reports. And it seems that perhaps his favourite choice for the lead role Shaktimaan is none other than Ranveer Singh.

However, it cannot be forgotten that the OG Shaktimaan, Mukesh Khanna, took the media by a frenzy in his outrage against Ranveer being cast as Shaktimaan. This brought a lot of shame for Ranveer who then decided to part ways with the film for the time being and focus on more promising projects like Don 3. Recently, reports from his team stated that he won’t be producing Shaktimaan as he is busy with Dhurandhar and Don 3. There were reports that Allu Arjun will take over this role and his fans were elated with this prospect.

But Basil has now stated that “No one else is doing Shaktimaan. It is Ranveer Singh and no one else.” Amidst all this confusion, fans and experts are saying Ranveer should stay away from this project as it is too controversial and looks like it lacks potential. Clarifications and updates are awaited from Ranveer’s end, even his well wishers don’t want him to associate with such a film.

FUJIFILM India, a leader in healthcare technology, has launched its latest CSR campaign, ‘Find It Early, Fight It Early’, in the presence of Ms. Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Vice Chairperson of CSR, Apollo Hospitals Foundation. This initiative is focused on generating awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection, particularly in underserved regions where discussions around women's health are often stigmatized.

This awareness campaign will be implemented across 23 cities, aiming to reach over 1 lakh women through structured community engagement, health risk assessments, and sensitization efforts led by trained field educators. The program, implemented by Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation (ATNF), reflects FUJIFILM India’s commitment to building a more informed and health-aware society.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer among Indian women. According to the National Cancer Registry Program by ICMR, it accounts for approximately 14% of all cancers diagnosed among women, with 1 in 29 women at risk of developing the disease in her lifetime. Unfortunately, most cases are detected at advanced stages due to stigma, limited awareness, and lack of access to timely care. ‘Find It Early, Fight It Early’ is designed to address these challenges by providing reliable, culturally sensitive information at the community level. By facilitating respectful, open conversations through on-ground workshops and awareness sessions, the initiative encourages women to become more proactive about their health—recognizing early symptoms, understanding self-examination techniques, and seeking timely medical consultation.

Ms. Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Vice Chairperson of CSR, Apollo Hospitals, said,

> “As healthcare leaders, we have a responsibility not only to treat illness but to anticipate it through awareness, education, and access. Breast cancer continues to claim lives because too many women lack the information and resources needed to act early. This CSR initiative by FUJIFILM India reflects a deeper understanding of that reality. Our support is grounded in a shared commitment to take meaningful action where it matters most and ensure that awareness reaches the women who need it before it's too late.”
