Dulquer backs Off From Mirai and OG craze

 Real reason for Kaantha to back out from September 12 date is Mirai of Teja and week later of Pawan Kalyan’s OG. DQ however put the postponement as a generous gesture to Lokah as he did not want to interrupt its BO as he is the producer of both films. DQ wise decision to not have any ego issues and go for a withdrawal is wise.

Kaantha based on MKT the Late Kollywood hero will face comparison from a web series to be streamed from Sony LIV on same subject. While Dulquer heads Kaantha, The wen series Madras Mystery has Nazirya in the lead. Sony LIV describes it as The Madras Mystery – Fall of a Superstar: A historical crime drama featuring Nazriya Fahadh, centred on the rise and fall of a cinema superstar. Th It will be directed by Sooriyaprathap, and stars actors Nazriya Nazim, Natty, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Nasser, YG Mahendran. It is to be noted that Nazriya is back to Tamil after a really long time and will be making her Tamil OTT debut with The Madras Mystery. Set against the backdrop of 1940s, the scandal-driven period thriller is set to be revolving around the infamous murder of Lakshmikanthan and the trial which involved M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and N. S. Krishnan as suspects.

Though officially Kaantha has ben postponed to give Lokah a free run, the real reason is that Mirai of Teja carries pre release reports that say that a blockbuster is on the way. Tollywood is waiting for BO of Mirai. Earlu reviews have give a big thumbs up. Telugucinema review ; “Mirai” succeeds as a visual spectacle. For audiences seeking a fresh take on blending mythology, fantasy, and superhero elements, it delivers enough entertainment. While not without flaws, particularly its predictable sequences and a noticeable dip in the second half, the film scores with impressive VFX, a devotional touch, and a well-balanced mix of elements. Overall, it makes for a good watch in theatres.

Theatrical. Pawn Kalyan’s  OG is scheduled to release worldwide on 25 September 2025 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages. If Kaantha released on September 12, it would have been caught between two most awaited Telugu films. Lokah is adding numbers in Kerala mostly and a DQ film will not be a competitor but in Telugu States it will get swallowed by two biggies.

Teja Sajja and Karthik Gattamneni’s Mirai has been released in theatres worldwide amidst positive buzz, and the response to the film is superb. While the adventurous film is going great at the box office, fans observe that the songs have been removed from Mirai.

DUlquer ti share Lokah Profits with Crew / Lingusamy to Direct Composer Vidyasagar son

Producer Dulquer Salmaan is a very happy man. Unlike many other producers who believe they owe their team nothing after having paid their stipulated remunerations, Dulquer has decided to share the Lokah profits with his cast and crew.

Although Dulquer doesn’t want to tomtom his generosity, a source from the team informed this writer, “Dulquer was not able to pay any of the actors or technicians their market price. They all worked at a token remuneration, or for free, for the love of cinema and Dulquer, not necessarily in that order. Now it is time for Dulquer to share the profits with the entire team. He is not doing anyone a favour. He feels this is the way the business of cinema should work.”

At the success meet, Dulquer addressed long-standing criticism about how mainstream cinema often caters to the male gaze. Acknowledging this issue, he credits the film’s screenwriter, actor Santhy Balachandran, for bringing an authentic woman’s voice to the story. “Santhy, thank you for giving us a woman’s voice in this film,” he said. “We’re often told our films are written and shot through the male gaze. I don’t even want to use the word ‘female’ here… If there’s a woman superhero or superstar today, and we’ve represented her right, all the credit goes to Santhy B.”

Dulquer also reflects on the scale of the film’s success, admitting it was unlike anything he had experienced in his career so far. “We’re still trying to process what’s happening. For us, Lokah always felt like a very intimate film it almost came across like a big-budget indie. We had to bring Jakes Bejoy in to make it more commercial,” he explained. “I’ve acted in over 40 films, but I’ve never experienced this level of reception as a lead actor. Thank you to all the audiences for accepting Lokah.”

Harshavardhan, son of music composer Vidyasagar, is stepping into Tamil cinema as an actor.
He'll be launched by director Lingusamy, known for hits like Paiyaa.
This move has fans curious to see how Harshavardhan will shift from making music to taking on the big screen.

Harshavardhan joins ranks of Kollywood star kids

He's already shown his musical talent with viral video songs and mash-ups of his dad's work.
Now, all eyes are on how he'll make his mark as an actor under Lingusamy's direction.
