Once scared to speak Telugu around grandfather ANR, Akhil Akkineni lands biggest hit Lenin | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readHyderabadJul 15, 2026 07:58 PM IST Long before Lenin made him the talk of Telugu cinema, a teenage Akhil Akkineni sat beside his parents Nagarjuna and Amala and his older brother Naga Chaitanya and made a confession that got everyone laughing. He was scared of his grandfather. Not because of any strictness in the traditional sense, but because of the one thing Akkineni Nageswara Rao took very seriously: the Telugu language. “I’m scared of my grandfather because whenever I speak in Telugu, he finds my sentences faulty to the core,” a visibly sheepish Akhil Akkineni said. “I only speak in English with my grandfather, while I speak in Telugu with my family.” The comment drew laughter from the rest of the family, but it also said something quietly significant about the household Akhil grew up in. ANR, who acted in over 255 films across a career that stretched from the 1940s to 2014, was known for his deep respect for the Telugu language and its nuances. He was a man who came from …

China lands a reusable rocket for the first time: Why this matters for the space race | Explained News

China on Friday successfully landed a reusable rocket for the first time — a milestone for the country’s space programme that will challenge American companies’ dominance in the technology. The Long March 10B rocket — which can carry a payload of up to 16 metric tons to low Earth orbit — lifted off from the Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site in Hainan, Southern China around noon (local time). Low Earth orbit is a region between 160 km and 2,000 km above the Earth. Six minutes after liftoff, the rocket’s booster — the part that houses the engine and provides the initial thrust — separated from its upper stage and began a controlled descent to a floating platform on the sea. There, it was caught by a net. Before China, only Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin demonstrated the ability to launch and land rockets. So how does China’s technology differ from previous reusable rockets and what strategic implications does this step have? We explain. The mechanics of re-entry  All rockets lift off in …
