Did Vijay Deverakonda demand 6 vanity vans, 50 assistants? Team dismisses claims, complains | Telugu News

3 min readHyderabadJun 26, 2026 09:58 AM IST Vijay Deverakonda has been at the centre of a fabricated controversy this week, after fake screenshots designed to look like genuine news reports began circulating on X, claiming he had made unreasonable demands on the sets of his upcoming film, Ranabaali. However, his team clarified to SCREEN that they were fake, calling them part of a deliberate misinformation campaign. The screenshots, made to resemble an article from the entertainment portal 123Telugu, carried a headline claiming Vijay had demanded 6 caravans and 50 assistants on the Ranabaali set, and that producers Mythri Movie Makers had been forced to approach the Producers Council to resolve the issue. The claims spread quickly once shared on social media. Talking to SCREEN, a source from his team replied, “These claims have no basis whatsoever. We honestly can’t understand what is the origin of these screenshots, which sprung out of nowhere,” 123Telugu, the publication whose branding had been used in the fake screenshot, also issued its own clarification, stating that it had never …

How maestro Ilaiyaraaja fought closest friends, billion-dollar labels to claim his music | Tamil News

How maestro Ilaiyaraaja fought closest friends, billion-dollar labels to claim his music | Tamil News

Over a career spanning nearly five decades, Ilaiyaraaja has composed music for over 1,500 films and written more than 8,000 songs. By any reasonable measure, that catalogue is one of the most commercially exploited bodies of work in Indian cinema. It has played in theatres, on radio, on television, at live concerts across the world, and more recently across every streaming platform imaginable. For much of that time, the money it generated flowed primarily to producers, music labels, and event organisers. The composer himself saw very little of it. What makes Ilaiyaraaja different from every other musician this happened to is simple: he refuses to accept it Born Gnanathesigan on June 3, 1943, in Tamil Nadu, Ilaiyaraaja debuted as a film composer with Annakili in 1976. What followed was one of the most prolific runs in the history of Indian film music. He won five National Film Awards, three for Best Music Direction and two for Best Background Score, and received both the Padma Bhushan and the Padma Vibhushan. His admirers call him “Isaignani,” meaning …

Ravi Teja steps into new territory with Irumudi, a father-daughter story. Watch | Telugu News

3 min readHyderabadJun 3, 2026 06:47 PM IST Ravi Teja has spent the better part of three decades as one of Telugu cinema’s most dependable crowd-pullers, built on energy, comedy, and action. Irumudi, his 77th film, appears to be asking something different of him. The first glimpse of the film, released on Wednesday, suggests a more inward performance, one centred on a father’s bond with his young daughter and the choices he makes for her sake. The one minute and 24 second video opens with the two sharing a warm, unhurried life together. Something then disrupts that peace, sending the father into a downward spiral of grief and alcohol. It is his daughter who pulls him back. When she asks him to stop drinking, he takes Ayyappa Deeksha and wears the sacred mala, framing his recovery not just as a personal choice but as an act of devotion and fatherly love. There are no crowd-pleasing elevation moments, no punchy one-liners, and very little of the larger-than-life persona that has defined much of Ravi Teja’s career. …

As Ram Charan’s Peddi releases, Pawan Kalyan exposes ‘recurring pressure’ threatening films | Telugu News

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday to share an extended note backing Ram Charan’s highly anticipated film Peddi, set to release on Thursday. Alongside his personal appreciation for the film and its team, Kalyan used the occasion to raise pointed concerns about what he described as recurring pressure on exhibitors and distributors around the time of major Telugu film releases. In his tweet, Pawan Kalyan wrote that the glimpse of Peddi “reflects the spirit of perseverance, courage, and the determination to rise against all odds,” adding that he was sharing his thoughts on “the talent behind it, and the need to nurture an atmosphere where cinema can grow with confidence, dignity, and mutual respect.” In the detailed note, Pawan Kalyan reflected on watching Ram Charan grow over the years, saying what sets him apart “is not his staggering global fame, but his choice to embrace profound humility, deep-rooted devotion, and absolute discipline.” The glimpse of #Peddi reflects the spirit of perseverance, courage, and the determination to rise …

Jr NTR’s Dragon glimpse drops on his birthday, reveals his leanest, deadliest avatar yet | Telugu News

Jr NTR’s Dragon glimpse drops on his birthday, reveals his leanest, deadliest avatar yet | Telugu News

The makers of Dragon released the film’s first glimpse on Tuesday, just minutes before Jr NTR’s 43rd birthday. The glimpse was released across multiple digital platforms and also screened in selected theatres, with the makers simultaneously confirming the project’s official title as Dragon. The film had previously been referred to by the working title NTRNeel. The film is set in 1967  and revolves around the opium trade, with an organisation called the Afghan Trading Company at the centre of the story. Rukmini Vasanth, who plays the female lead, provides the narration in the glimpse, laying out the contours of this world before NTR’s character appears on screen. NTR plays Luger, the Assassin-in-Chief of the Afghan Trading Company. The name itself drew attention online. In his previous films, Neel gave Yash the name Rocky in KGF and Prabhas the name Deva in Salaar. Luger marks a departure from that pattern, taking its name from a German pistol rather than following the route of a conventional mass-hero name. The dialogue NTR delivers in the glimpse, “Devudu naako …

Telugu exhibitors’ revenue share demand claims Jetlee as first victim, Ram Charan’s Peddi to suffer too | Telugu News

5 min readHyderabadUpdated: May 3, 2026 02:59 PM IST A long-running disagreement between Telugu film producers and theatre owners over the revenue-sharing model has escalated, with the Mythri Movie Makers-presented film Jetlee losing screens on its opening day in Telangana. The reason had nothing to do with the film itself. Mythri Movie Makers, which presented Jetlee, has refused to accept a percentage-based revenue-sharing model that a group of exhibitors in Telangana are now demanding. Those exhibitors on Friday responded by simply not scheduling the film. Amid all the chaos, Peddi, Ram Charan’s next film, is due on June 4. That is the problem Telugu cinema is now staring at because Peddi will be distributed by Mythri Movie Makers. What the CEO said The issue came up at the Jetlee success meet held in Hyderabad on Saturday, where Mythri CEO Cherry spoke what happened it with Jetlee, and how it’ll pan out for Peddi. He confirmed that negotiations between producers and exhibitors had continued until late on the night of April 30 and ended without agreement, …
