While many lost loved ones, others struggled with isolation, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion. Even Ram Charan found himself battling a difficult mental phase during the lockdown, despite being in the middle of filming RRR. The actor recently revealed that after the lockdown was lifted, he no longer felt motivated to work out or return to the sets — until a conversation with filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli completely changed his perspective. Ahead of the release of Peddi, Ram Charan went on a drive around Hyderabad with director Buchi Babu Sana, where he opened up about the emotional toll the pandemic took on him and his wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela. “During COVID time, everyone was hit mentally, health-wise and financially. It hit me too. We were all in a confused state. Fifty percent of RRR was done by the time the break happened. I was at my peak physically and suddenly the film stopped. I …

Their mother is the nurturing pole; I’m the one they come to when they want courage.” When asked about what kind of a father he sees himself as, while balancing a high-profile career with family life, he said, “The biggest lesson we learn is from observing our parents. And I want to be a very, very …

Married since 2012, the duo recently entered a new chapter of their lives as they welcomed twins—a son and a daughter; they earlier had a daughter Klin Kara.

After Apollo Healthcare’s Upasana Konidela urged women to invest in themselves by freezing their eggs and focussing on their career in their 20s, Zoho’s CEO Sridhar Vembu has advised youngsters to have children early. “I advise young entrepreneurs I meet, both men and women, to marry and have kids in their 20s and not keep postponing it,” Vembu wrote on X. Sridhar Vembu calls having children in 20s ‘demographic duty’ His response came after Upasana, who is married to actor Ram Charan, recently visited the campus of IIT Hyderabad, where she spoke to young students, and told them that the “biggest insurance” for women was to “save your eggs”. She insisted that by doing this, women can choose when they wish to have children, and can do so when they are financially independent. Her comments have led to a backlash with many questioning Upasana’s advice on the grounds of how expensive the procedure is and how Upasana’s advice doesn’t align with her life choices. Taking a diametrically opposite stand, Zoho Arattai’s Sridhar Vembu said he …

Game Changer Box Office Collections: Ram Charan and Shankar film scores a mere 125cr weekend worldwide

Published by Parlour News

Game Changer witnessed another significant drop in collections on Sunday, adding Rs. 17.50 crore approx to its total at the Indian box office. With that, the weekend ended up just over Rs. 100 crore. The film has grossed another USD 3 million (Rs. 25 crore) overseas, for a global weekend of just over Rs. 125 crore. It is essentially “game over” for the film as collections have plummeted to alarmingly low levels. In the Telugu states, the film managed only Rs. 6.50 crore on Sunday—likely the second-lowest Sunday figure for a major Telugu release in recent memory. The only film worse is Bhola Shankar, which was already a write-off before release, opening to Rs. 16 crore on its first day and dropping to Rs. 5.50 crore on Sunday. Here, the starting point was nearly 3 times higher at Rs. 42 crore but crashed to a similar level on the third day. It was thought that the Sankranti holidays would carry the film over Rs. 100 crore mark in the Telugu states but that is now an impossible …

With the movie just days away from its release, the director was seen responding to Anurag Kashyap’s comments on the action thriller.
