A 50-60 percent drop is usual for most of these star vehicles in Telugu film industry, which experiences an unusual level of mania especially on its opening day.

Sivakarthikeyan = ARM Again / Priyanka in NetFlix series/ Jailer 2 Release Date
Sivakarthikeyan and A R Murugadoss are to unit again after Madharaasi is what we hear. Madharaasi has after 12 days reached the Rs 100 cr gross. SK feels that the content was not the culprit but the marketing that was wrong. He feels that RKFI marketing of Amaran has pushed a Rs 100 crore film to Rs 200 cr club. For one he feels that audience were split in two parts with one looking for a Ghajini and other Thupakki. The new script by ARM has appealed to SK and announcement will come after Parasakthi release date announcement.
Trade feels that SK for first time got Rs 70 crore as
salary, He took Rs 40 crore as advance and rest after Tamil Nadu area was
confirmed. The actor got Rs 30 cr for Amaran and so the film was moderately
priced but Madharaasi was sold for double the price and that is why the film is
termed an average at boActress
Meanwhile,
fans eagerly await her appearance as Kanmani in They Call Him OG alongside
Pawan Kalyan. She recently shared a few
key details about her character in the film during a media interaction and
dropped an interesting news that she has some crucial scenes with Emraan Hashm
in the film.
In a recent

a recent interaction with the press, Rajini said that the movie will
release after June 2026. So, it’s likely to be in July/August, and if we
remember, the first part was released on Independence Day weekend in 2023 and
created a sensation.
Directed by
Nelson, the sequel of Jailer carries very big expectations, and there was
a buzz that
Balakrishna will be part of this film and will appear in a crucial cameo. But
this is yet to be officially confirmed.
There is a
schedule planned in Hyderabad for this year’s end, and Balakrishna might join
this schedule if he is doing a cameo, which will officially confirm the news.

Latest
dialogues a hit with trollers- Mohanlal says Ithu oru makebelief allay monay < He
said this describing film Malaijottai valiban an utter flop and repeated it on
screen in Thodarum. Now Rajinikanth reaction when asked about Vijay political
rally across State- Vazhthukal Vazhthukal.
Director
Jeethu Joseph has officially confirmed that the Malayalam version of Drishyam
3 will be the first one to hit the theatres. This means audiences will
see Mohanlal’s character, Georgekutty, make his next move before Ajay Devgn’s
Vijay Salgaonkar appears on the big screen.
The director
further explained that the team behind the Hindi remake is waiting for him to
complete the final script. He made it clear that the story originates with him
and the Malayalam production. “They are waiting for our script,” he stated.
He also
added a comment about the rights, saying, “If they try doing something on their
own, we would have to move legally. But I don’t think they will do it.” This
shows that the original creators hold the creative control over the story’s
direction.
Why The
Release Order Matters
For a
thriller franchise like Drishyam, the suspense-filled climax is
everything. The first two films were famous for their game-changing twists in
the end. Because of this, whichever version of Drishyam 3 releases
first will naturally reveal the plot and spoilers. This was the main reason
there were reports of a possible simultaneous release, but the director has now
confirmed that will not be the case.
The thought
behind this is to ensure a spoiler free experience for the viewers. “The power
of Drishyam rests in the suspense and as it has happened in the past, there is
a section that has already seen the version that arrives first. Everyone
working on Drishyam want to provide the best experience to it’s audience, and
not spoil the twists and turns. Drishyam 3 will be the final film of the
franchise and what better than having an experience of chills and thrills
without having an idea of what next,” the source concluded.
Rajini - Raaja Beer sessions and How Rahman was Discovered
Was not Rajinikanth responsible in a way for downfall of Illaiyaraaja ? This question comes after hearing Thaliavar speak about all controversial aspects of the maestro life at the felicitation function hosted by TN CM Stalin. FLASHBACK :It was a function where Rajinikanth- Vairamuthu- KB along with Raaja were present to celeberate success of a film. Raaja went on a tangent and said that without his music no film can be a hit and took credit for all silver jubilee hits that he scored music. This trampled egos of those on stage. The look for a new music Director started. Result was adjingle composer Dilip aks A R Rahman. Film Roja.
Ilaiyaraaja
recounted the story of a particularly memorable music session during the making
of Johnny (1989), Rajinikanth himself joined in, adding more colorful and
“spicy” details to the narrative. n a humorous twist, Rajinikanth disclosed
that the duo had indulged in beers until 3 a.m., and after finishing an entire
bottle, Ilaiyaraaja had taken to inquiring about gossip concerning heroines.
The
revelation sent the entire hall into fits of laughter, capturing the
spontaneity and warmth of their camaraderie.
This
delightful episode is a testament to the enduring bond between two of Indian
cinema’s most cherished legends. This is a friendship built on mutual respect,
shared memories, and a touch of mischief. At a grand felicitation ceremony held
in Chennai on Saturday, celebrating Ilaiyaraaja’s illustrious 50-year musical
career, Rajinikanth took the stage to reminisce and share some light-hearted
“secrets” from their early days in the film industry. The atmosphere was
electric with nostalgia as both legends revisited memorable moments.
Rajini
boldly addressed the period when Illaiyaraaja lost ground to rival music
directors and added that including himself went to the new music Director. He
also commended the period that Illaiyaraaja kept himself busy with his usual
recordings. Yet another tricky area was Raaja’s copyright ownership issue with
his compositions and including the stopping of SPB musical nite in USA
overnight. He admired Raaja’s statement that he is still the greatest and to
prove it was the London symphony, he added. Rajini also touched the exit from
Prasad Studios recording studio by Raaja.
Audience Mistake - Not Mine - Lokesh about Coolie / Rajinikanth Still Overseas Darling
I do not make films to suit the audience. I am never
said that Coolie is a sci-fi film or part of LCU, If they went with different
expectations then I am not to be blamed.- This is what Lokesh Kanagaraj Director of Coolie has
to say about the film not fulfilling audience expectations.
Rajinikanth’s
Coolie is in the final stage of its box office run. The film’s box office
collections stand at 510 Cr
gross worldwide for 20 days. It’s a pretty good total considering the film
received unfavorable WOM and reviews.

The 20 Days
Box Office Collections of Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie are decent.
This week, several new films are getting released in theaters, and this action
drama is also not posting big numbers now. The film is likely to close around
520 Cr, with around 87% recovery, and settles at an average status at the box
office and as the 4th biggest grosser of Kollywoo
Rajinikanth’s
Coolie crossed another milestone at
the box office. The film becomes the 10th film in South Indian Films to cross
$20M+ in overseas gross. Superstar Rajinikanth has three films in the list,
with Prabhas following him with two movies. Overall,
Rajinikanth and Prabhas lead the list of South Indian films to cross $20M+ in
overseas gross collection.

Thalapathy
Vijay has 1 movie with Leo, while Allu Arjun has Pushpa 2. Yash has one film

RAJINIKANTH PRO SLAMS TRADE BODY LEADER FOR COOLIE REMARKS
Finally, Cat has been belled, CAT -G Dhananjayan –
Belled by Riaz the BOSS. Dhananjayan is a founder and the Treasurer of the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) and his role as a box office trade expert and his findings
about falling collections of Coolie has been slammed by Riaz Ahmed PRO to
Rajinikanth, through his V4U Media YouTube channel. Riaz has raised a valid
point- If you are a trade expert or a media person be sso but if you are part
of a body that represents film Producers, then you have no right to open mouth
about another production company business. Choose which boat you want to ride
is what Riaz says.Double role or multi-tasking by Dhananjayan who is a film
Producer- exhibitor- award winning author of books on cinema and a man with solutions
to all problems faced by Kollywood had mazed many including me. For long and
till today he has been the source of content to many You Tube channels that
thrive on Kollywood content. The part of him as an important office bearer of
the Active Producers body of Kollywood was actually something that I wondered
as to how he was going about it. In my videos in Kodambakkam Guys I had pointed
out that this gentleman had while taking defense of a Suriya’s flop film had
mentioned that this flop’s opening was equal to Rajinikanth’s Petta’s life time
collection. This was far from truth. I don’t want to digress from my main
topic- Dhananjayan and Rajini.
While riding with Suriya, he was responsible for exaggerating
facts of the films that he was doing. It backfired badly. He has two books on
cinema and got a national award for it. Currently he is Head of Sony LIV Tamil
content. Riaz has let lose a barrage of support from many film critics in You Tube.
All seem to have been waiting for the man to bell this cat and what more than
the publicist of Rajinikanth. Dhananjayan has decided that he will no more be
the box office analyst and announced his withdrawal from this field adding that
he was doing so on his own as he was misunderstood and not because of any fear.
A YouTuber Cheyar Balu had listed out how in yesteryears Rajini dealt with his
detractors. This was seen as a scare. Rajini has since turned a new leaf.
Classic example was when theatres screening Baba was attacked by PMK workers.
If he had just given the HUKUM – Tamil Nadu politics would have been different
TODAY.
Rajinikanth Tamil Nadu market shrinks - Will Kalki Nag be a saviour or do a Lokesh ?
As Rajinikanth market share in Tamil Nadu is shrinking, will Nag Ashwin who gave a Hit Kalki that entered the Rs 1000 cr club as next Director recover Thalauvar market or be another over hyped Lokesh ? Read on:
Rajinikanth’s films, including the latest Coolie, underperform in Tamil Nadu.
At 75 years
of age, Rajini still has a substantial market
in all languages. But when we see his recent films, compared to other areas,
the movies are not doing well in Tamil Nadu.
Kabali, with
poor WOM, managed to set very big numbers in all other areas, but in Tamil
Nadu, the numbers were not that huge. During the Petta vs. Viswasam clash, the
former outshined Viswasam in all areas.
But Ajith’s
Viswasam takes a clear lead in TN. Jailer, which set new records everywhere for
Kollywood, failed to beat Ponniyin Selvan 1 and did not cross the 200 Cr mark
as well.
Now,
Rajinikanth’s Coolie underperforms in Tamil Nadu. Yes, it had a weak/below
average WOM, but comparing to other areas’ performance, it should have
collected at least 170 Cr in TN.
But reaching
150 Cr itself looks like a tough task for the film. Till now, it collected 132
Cr gross in 11 days in TN. All films of Rajinikanth in recent years are doing
10-15% lower on expectations in the main market of Tamil Cinema.
#Coolie 11 Days Box
Office Collection :- Tamil Nadu : ₹129.25 Cr Andhra & Nizam : ₹63.00 Cr
Karnataka : ₹38.20 Cr Kerala : ₹24.10 Cr Rest of India : ₹40.00 Cr Overseas :
₹170.35 Cr / $19.47 Mn Total Worldwide Gross : ₹464.90 Cr
Strong
industry buzz points to Nag Ashwin, known for Mahanati and Kalki 2898 AD.
Sources claim Ashwin recently narrated a script to Rajinikanth, who reportedly
approved the idea and asked him to develop it further. Fans are excited about
the possibility of this collaboration, though reactions remain mixed.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie received criticism online despite high expectations, while
Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, though successful at the box office, faced divided
opinions. Some fans believe the partnership could create something special,
while others are cautious. They argue that Rajinikanth’s collaboration with
Lokesh Kanagaraj already turned into a disappointment with Coolie, and fear
that Ashwin may also face risks with the superstar.
JOHN WICK Stunt Director with YASH / Rajini Beats Vijay -Where and How/ Anirudh Secret
Perry, who is famous for designing the breathtaking stunts in massive hits like Fast & Furious, John Wick, and Day Shift, is here to create the action sequences for the film TOXIC. In a statement, Perry praised the Indian team, calling them “world-class.” He said, “That’s precisely why I chose to work with them. We’re tackling a major sequence right now, and I’m super stoked about taking this on… this team is meeting it head-on.”
This isn’t just another project for JJ Perry, who has worked in 39 countries over his 35-year career. He expressed his genuine admiration for Indian movies and the vision of Toxic‘s director, Geetu Mohandas. “I’m a fan of Indian cinema; it’s creative, artistic, and bold,” Perry stated. “Geetu has great vision, and everyone from cinematographer Rajeev Ravi to the production designer and art team has been fantastic.” Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is an upcoming bilingual (Kannada-English) gangster film directed by Geetu Mohandas. It stars superstar Yash in the lead role and features a large ensemble cast. Jointly produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups is a high-stakes, large-scale film that merges depth with dazzle. It is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Jointly produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups is a high-stakes, large-scale film that merges depth with dazzle.
Finally
Rajini fans can be happy. Thalaivar has beat Thalapathy at the box office 0
YES, at the Hindi box office. Read on : Even though there was no multiplex
release for Leo due to a 4-week OTT window, the film did very well in Hindi
belts and collected around 30 Cr net in India and emerged as the 2nd biggest
grosser for Kollywood in Hindi belts after 2.0.
Directed by
Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie clashed with War 2, the Bollywood biggie, but it was
successful in beating Leo collections at the box office. By its second weekend,
the film had collected around 32 Cr net in India and surpassed Kabali (28 Cr)
and Leo (30 Cr). Now, this action drama is the second biggest grosser for
Kollywood in North India. Overall, the film has collected around 475 Cr gross
worldwide and is racing towards the 500 Cr mark.
If you think Anirudh is pocketing the singer fees by singing
in his own songs or in other music composer songs then you are wrong . He does
it free. Read on : He has sung nearly
175 songs for other music directors, while also working on his own music. He
has sung songs in Tamil as well as Telugu. Gaali Vaaluga, Hoyna, and Baitikochi
Chuste are some of his most popular works in Telugu as a singer.
Anirudh has not charged even a single rupee for the songs he
has sung for other music directors. On average, a leading singer charges about
10 lakhs per song, which means he could’ve made 1750 lakhs or 17.5 crores.
This just shows his love for music. He sings because he
wants to be a part of that project, and not because it will fetch him money.
This is a true sign of a rockstar and an artist.
Anirudh has a terrific lineup of films ahead, they include
Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast, the multistarrer Vikram, and Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2.
Anirudh will also be serving as music director
for NTR30. Anirudh sings most of the songs, and it
is receiving high criticism. The netizens question him on that, and they
clearly state that some of his songs are more suitable for other singers than
him. Recently Anirudh faced negative reactions for singing Vijay
Deverakonda’s Kingdom’s song, Anna Antene, and now, for Madharaasi’s 2nd
single, Vazhiyiraen.

Mahaavatar boost to Indian Animation / Rajini KING OF KARNATAKA / VIJAY Reel Breaks Insta record
Chaluve Gowda Co-Founder: @hombalegroup Partner: @hombalefilms
Board of Governors: @rv.university
Board Member: Mandya University took a risk with Indian Animation and Indian VFX
by making substantial investments and employing 200 VFX Software and Visual
personnel and spending 1 1/2 years to create Indigenous extrusion of
characters in MAHAVATAR NARASIMHA t is a great thing for India
Sure the
Software is still Western owned (American and British) but the Studio is Indian, On day 30, within just 24 hours,
ticket sales spiked dramatically.
Rather
than entrust animation to a Japanese or Korean company, Hombale has decided to
do their own VFX work using Indian talent
That is
definitely a step in the right direction
More Indian
VFX and who knows maybe we can finally start making world class Software
There are
140 Crore Indians and only a combined 5.35 Crore tickets were sold in 2024
By
comparison there are 140 Crore Chinese and 12.85 Crore tickets were sold in the
first 6 months of 2025
So if India
can manage to push another 5 Crore tickets, we could be seeing Budgets of 1000
Crore becoming easier to gross locally and more work for Indian Animation
Especially
with all our Puranas, Panchatantra, Mahabharat and Mythologies
More than
130.3K tickets were booked on BookMyShow, a number usually associated with an
opening weekend rather than the film’s fifth week.
The
sudden spike in bookings shows that audiences are choosing films with
substance, animated or otherwise. At this rate, the film could well cross new
milestones at the box office.
With the
Rs. 300 crore gross mark now within reach, Ashwin Kumar’s epic is in no hurry
to arrive on OTT. Produced by Kleem Productions and presented by Hombale Films,
the movie is further lifted by Sam CS’s soulful soundtrack, which continues to
strike a chord with viewers.
Continuing
his record-breaking spree, Rajinikanth now has three all-time highest-grossing
Tamil movies in Karnataka. Thalaivar’s Jailer and 2 Point 0 occupy the first
and third places, respectively, in the list of top three Tamil movies in
Karnataka, while Coolie stands in the second spot. However, given the
considerable drops in the daywise collection, Coolie may not surpass Jailer’s
lifetime gross in the Kannada land.
A reel
shared by Vijay on his Instagram yesterday is now breaking the internet and has
clocked the highest number of likes (10.3 million) for an Instagram post by any
South Indian actor. The video features Vijay taking a selfie with a sea of fans
during Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s (TVK) second state-level conference in
Madurai on August 21. The fact that Vijay’s post amassed over 10 million likes within a day,
and that too with just 14 million Insta followers, speaks volumes of Vijay’s
craze. Vijay is currently working on his highly anticipated last film, Jana
Nayagan. The actor will bid adieu to acting and enter Tamil Nadu politics by
contesting the state assembly elections in summer 2026.
Lokesh next Arun Direction and Kaithi 2 - Rajini- Kamal Distant One
We hear that that
Lokesh will wrap Arun's film with Vasanth Ravi before starting production on
his next directorial venture, Kaithi 2, starring Karthi.
Kaithi 2, Only after that is Lokesh next
project with Rajini- Kamal project, if
everything falls in place . . Kaithi is delayed and not for the Rajini- Kamal
project but Lokesh after negative feedback post Coolie is out, he feels that
the expectations from him are higher and viewers are expecting a bigger one
from the Kaithi sequel . Post Coolie, Lokesh has to deliver with Kaithi sequel.
LK07:
Kaithi 2
The fifth
installment of the LCU, after BENZ. The film is
co-produced by KVN Productions and and Dream Warrior Pictures.
The film
revolves around the ego clash between Dilli (Karthi) and Rolex (Suriya), which
is narrated in a non-linear screenplay. Kamal Haasan also plays a role in the
film, with Vijay playing a cameo. This film is the one that begins the present
plot of the universe.
Shoot begins
from December 2025, and will be shot on
a 200–250 crore budget. Will continue until the end of the year. They will be
taking loads of time with post-production and fine tuning, so the film will
only be releasing late 2027.
As elections
are fast approaching, Red Giant would not commit any huge investment till May
next year. RKFI of Kamal is all set to go ahead with Anbu Arivu directorial.
Despite bad word of mouth, Coolie collecting so much shows his good will,
Rajini post Coolie has shown as a weak draw in Tamil Nadu. Indian 2 figures
does not help Kamal either. Coolie has shown that Rajini’s draw in Tamil Nadu
is not big as Vijay.
Primarily,
Rajini- Kamal film has to collect from Tamil Nadu and after paying both heroes
the market price and production costs, recovery at box office is near
impossible task. Only if both heroes join as partners, can the Rajini- Kamal
film take off. The project can take off when Jailer 2 and Anbu Arivu projects
are blockbusters and Kaithi 2 brings back Lokesh.

Actor Ashok Selvan, who has been playing different roles in every film, will be playing a different role in this film as well. Actress Nimisha Sajayan will be playing his opposite number.
The highly anticipated film “Happy Endings, Once More” produced by Million Dollar Studios has reached its final stages. The shooting of this new film is scheduled to begin today in Chennai and be completed in a single phase.
A commercial film that will appeal to all audiences, the film is directed by debutant director Manikandan Anandan . Music composer Thibu Ninan Thomas is composing the music. Pushpa Raj Santhosh is handling the cinematography. Bharath Vikraman is handling the editing.
Mithun with Rajini in Jailer 2 / NTR changed WAR 2 END/ Mammootty IS BACK
The post from Mohanlal comes in the wake of celebratory updates from the film fraternity, confirming that Mammootty has made a full recovery, ending months of speculation about his well-being. Fans immediately embraced Mohanlal’s gesture, flooding the comments with messages of love and relief. Many called it a perfect symbol of the brotherhood between Malayalam cinema’s two towering figures. Mohanlal and Mammootty have been friends and contemporaries for over four decades, and their bond continues to be cherished just as much as their films.
Malayalam
cinema fans were overjoyed on Tuesday as social media filled with celebratory
posts confirming that veteran actor Mammootty has
regained full health. Close friend and producer Anto
Joseph was among the first to express his gratitude, writing, “The
prayers of countless people across the world have been answered. Thank you,
God, thank you, thank you.” While he did not directly mention Mammootty, the
post has widely been understood as referring to the actor, given the context
and Anto’s close association with him.
Soon after,
industry insider Anura Mathai shared his excitement, writing, “The wait will be
over soon! With the blessings of the Almighty, our Mammukka is back. We all
waited with love, prayers, and hope — and today our hearts are full. Love
you ikka.” Actor Maala
Parvathi also joined in with a heartfelt note: “There is no better
news than this. Mammukka has regained full health. Grateful to the doctors who
treated him, to everyone who cared for him, and to the hospital. Love. Yessss…
The King is back!”
Finally,
George Sebastian, long-time associate of Mammootty, shared an especially
emotional message: “With eyes brimming with joy, I stand before you with folded
hands. To all who prayed, who stood by me, who comforted me when it seemed
nothing would happen -- to all my dear ones, I offer my heartfelt thanks!” The
heartfelt tone made the post feel almost like Mammootty’s own words, further
moving fans. Adding to the chorus of relief, veteran filmmaker Siby
Malayil, Puzhu director Ratheena PT, producer C V
Sarathi and others also shared affectionate messages on social media.
According to
an India Today report, Mithun has been roped in for a full-fledged role,
integral to the storyline of Jailer 2. He is said to join Rajinikanth for shoot this week
itself.
For the
unversed, Rajinikanth has made special appearances in two Mithun movies in the
past - Bhrastachar in 1989 and Bhagya Devta in 1997. The sequel, Jailer 2, is
currently being shot in Chennai and other parts of India. It is being
positioned as a bigger and bolder follow-up to the first installment that won
hearts across the globe. Mithun, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of
The Bengal Files.
Putting an
end to recent speculation, young director Venky Atluri has denied reports that
Bollywood star Anil Kapoor is playing a key role in his upcoming big-ticket
Telugu film starring Tamil superstar Suriya. “We haven’t even approached Anil
Kapoor. I haven’t met him or even spoken to him over the phone. We don't know
how these rumours cropped up, hence these reports are false and baseless,”
clarified Venky Atluri.
NTR Jr made
Aditya Chopra change the climax to please his fans says journalist Subhash k
Jha. Despite this War 2 is Telugu is trailing behinf Coolie Telugu in Two
Telugu States. According
to a report by journalist Subhash K Jha in Deccan Chronicle, NTR character was
