War 2 Telugu song with Kiara bikini show BEATS COOLIE / Did Aamir save the theatres or himself ?

 Coolie‘s recently released Telugu version of the hit track “Powerhouse” has ignited backlash online, catching the makers off guard. While the Tamil original had gone viral across South India as a powerful anthem, the Telugu rendition is being slammed for lacking the same fiery energy. Listeners say the lyrics and delivery don’t match the vibe that made the original a sensation.

However The first single of War 2 is titled Oopiri Ooyalaga in Telugu, and it strikes the right chord with audiences. 

Oopiri Ooyalaga is a beautifully composed song. This romantic love track will certainly help boost the movie’s buzz among audiences. Audio plays a major role in building hype for a movie, and it seems like the War sequel has a highly promising album. The song features the must-have hook step and Kiara Advani looking amazing in her bikini, teasing her fans with oozing. The song also features Hrithik Roshan, and his chemistry with Kiara is cute. But actress' hot bikini avatar has grabbed everyone's attention. The fans can't stop praising how hot Kiara is looking in the track.

 

Amazon parcels arriving at customers’ homes are being wrapped in Coolie-themed posters, featuring Rajinikanth alongside other stars like Nagarjuna or Aamir Khan, depending on the region. This move brings the film directly into everyday life and is already trending online. If Sun Pictures’ campaign succeeds, the Amazon parcel strategy might become a new blueprint for Indian film promotion.

 This initiative signifies a strategic pivot by Sun Pictures toward digital marketing. After ending its alliance with Netflix, the studio has embraced Amazon Prime Video for distribution. Reports suggest that Coolie’s OTT rights have been sold for around ₹120 crores, matching record deals in Tamil cinema like Leo. Upcoming Sun Pictures films like Jailer 2 will also debut on Amazon. With a pan-Indian cast that includes Shruti Haasan, Pooja Hegde, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, Coolie is positioned as a major multi-language blockbuster. Industry analysts are projecting potential global earnings of ₹1000 crore, fueled in part by this bold marketing and record-breaking OTT deal

Netizens shared pics of Aamir Khan photographed with Turkey’s First Lady Emine Erdogan back in 2020 during his visit.

It is known that during Operation Sindoor, Turkey sent arms and ammunitions and its army personnel to Pakistan. Netizens are also angry that Aamir Khan did not come in support of Operation Sindoor except for a tweet just ahead of the film's trailer launch.

Netizens reacted in the following way.

Social media users have been campaigning against Aamir Khan and calling for his latest film's boycott by calling him a friend of Turkey.

"He who is a friend of Turkey is a traitor to the country, the stars are on the ground, he has to be brought down to earth," said a user on X in Hindi.

"Remember when Aamir Khan had gone to Turkey & Met the Turkish First Lady?? So Now you know what has to be done with his latest movie Sitare Zameen Par," another user posted on X, sharing their video.

Commenting on the launch, Actor-Producer Aamir Khan stated, "For the past 15 years I have been struggling with the challenge of how to reach audiences who do not have geographical access to theatres, or those who are unable to make it to theatres for various reasons. Finally the time for the perfect storm has come. With our government bringing in UPI and India becoming no 1 in the world in electronic payments, with internet penetration in India having grown dramatically and growing everyday, and with YouTube being on most devices, we can finally reach vast sections of people in India, and a significant part of the world. My dream is that Cinema should reach everyone at a reasonable and affordable price. I want people to have the ease of watching Cinema when they want, where they want. If this idea works, Creative voices can tell different stories breaking geographical and other barriers. This will also be a great opportunity for younger creative people entering the field of Cinema. If this idea works, then I see this as a win-win for all.”

Gunjan Soni, Country Managing Director, YouTube India, highlighted the strategic significance of this partnership. "The digital launch of Sitaare Zameen Par exclusively on YouTube underscores a significant step towards democratizing Indian film distribution at a global scale. YouTube is already a key digital destination for premium content, and we’re excited to offer filmmakers and content owners not only our unparalleled digital reach but also the control and flexibility to meet their audiences where they are. Today's launch is far more than a release - YouTube is laying out the red carpet for Indian cinema to stride onto the global stage.”

In India, approximately 476 million active users watch YouTube, making it the country with the largest YouTube audience. This is significantly more than the second-largest market, the United States, which has around 238 million users, according to DemandSage. 

YouTube has a massive reach in India, with 4 out of 5 internet users aged 18+ accessing the platform. This includes users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and villages, expanding access to films beyond traditional avenues. Films like "Sitaare Zameen Par"  which  delivered directly to this large audience, primarily via mobile phones, which are popular in remote areas is testing new waters. If the revenue from YT exceeds that OTT + TV rights offer, the streaming giants would be in trouble. To reach even broader and newer audiences in India and globally, Sitaare Zameen Par will offer subtitles and dubs in key languages.

I shared that tweet out of frustration and to vent. Didn’t expect it to get this much attention. Getting too many enquiries about it now. Out of concern for her privacy and wellbeing I’ve decided to take it down. Hope that’s respected.

An X user (Formerly Twitter) Ramya Mohan has accused Vijay Sethupathi of serious casting couch and drug allegations. In a thread on Twitter, the woman wrote that casting couch and drug abuse was not a joke, and further went on to claim a that women from media was pushed into this world against her consent, and that she was in rehabilitation now.

The user then accused Vijay Sethupathi of offering her 2 lakhs for various kinds of favours and 50 thousands for “drives” and claimed that the actor acts like a “saint on social media”. The user also claimed that Vijay Sethupathi has used the woman in question for many years, and that drug nexus was real. She added that the actor’s image had been whitewashed in the media. Ramya Mohan claimed that there were many women, and blamed some people for questioning the victims everytime. She also wrote that the family was shocked to learn this through the woman’s diary and phone chats.

Su From So, a Kannada horror-comedy drama produced by Raj B Shetty under Lighter Buddha Films and directed by JP Thumminad, is rewriting box office rules. What began with a single premiere in Mangaluru, followed by Shivamogga and Mysuru, quickly snowballed into 28 preview shows across Karnataka before its theatrical release on July 25.

Since then, the film has been unstoppable. With packed houses and roaring footfalls from all corners of the state, Su From So has sold over 3.80 lakh tickets in just three days. Remarkably, it became the first Kannada film in ages to secure 72 early morning shows on a Sunday, all running to full houses—even on weekdays.

In a time when Kannada cinema was witnessing a lull, Su From So emerged as a much-needed silver lining. The team has managed to gross ₹7 crore in just three days, purely based on strong word of mouth.

Even more interesting is the demand, it’s rare to see a film expanding its shows every day and yet cinema-goers continue to struggle to find tickets. Relying solely on its content, Su From So is now breaking beyond Karnataka's borders.

Demand across South Indian languages, to release overseas on August 1

On August 1, the film will release in Kerala under the same title. Supported by Dulquer Salmaan, the distribution will be handled by his Wayfarer Films, ensuring a wide release across the state. The film is also headed north as Anil Thadani's AA Films, known for releasing South Indian giants like Kantara, KGF, and Pushpa, will distribute the Kannada version of Su From So across North India.

Cities like Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Punjab are already screening limited shows, which are running to packed houses. There’s now growing demand for Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions, with dubbing currently in progress. Meanwhile, global audiences can gear up for the international release. Through Phars Film, Su From So is set to release in the USA, Australia, Dubai, and other international markets starting August 1.
