The Baahubali actor, Rana Daggubati is all set to host a quirky animated comedy series, titled Why are you? The actor is also a creative producer of the show.

He also unveiled the teaser of Why are you?





On the work front, Rana Daggubati will next be seen in "Haathi Mere Saathi" which is a tri-lingual film. The movie has been shot across two countries, in forest locales of Kerala, besides in Mahabaleshwar and Mumbai in India, and in Thailand.

SS Rajamouli, Prabhas' Baahubali - The Epic Starts Strong: Advance Booking Soars In North America

Hyderabad, October 16: The much-awaited single-part re-release of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali duology has opened its advance booking in North America, two weeks before its premiere on October 29, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Fans of Prabhas and Indian cinema's most celebrated epic seem to be turning out in large numbers, reaffirming the film's enduring legacy even years after its original release. According to early reports, Baahubali - The Epic has sold over 5000 tickets worth $100K for the premiere, heading towards scoring record collection for a re-release by a long margin in North America. The re-release is being positioned as a grand cinematic celebration of the film's 10th anniversary, allowing audiences to relive Rajamouli's larger-than-life vision on the big screen once again. Baahubali, which first hit screens in 2015 and was followed by Baahubali: The Conclusion in 2017, remains one of the biggest global blockbusters in Indian film history. The two-part saga revolutionised Indian filmmaking standards, led Prabhas to pan-India superstardom, and set the template for modern storytelling. With the bookings off to a roaring start, the North American re-release is expected to set a new benchmark. This overwhelming response is a testament to Baahubali's timeless appeal and Rajamouli"™s unmatched storytelling prowess. Baahubali - The Epic is nearly 3 hours and 40 minutes long, making it the longest Indian film. The first half of the film features scenes from Baahubali: The Beginning, while the second half consists of Baahubali: The Conclusion, with reportedly some new footage. The movie is scheduled to release in multiple languages, in every major premium format. Stay tuned...

Jr. NTR's Dragon With Director Prashanth Neel Locks Post-Theatrical Streaming Deal With Netflix

Hyderabad, October 15: One of India's most-awaited Pan India big-screen spectacles, Dragon (tentative title) starring superstar Jr. NTR and directed by Prashanth Neel, is making noise for all the right reasons. The movie is reportedly shaping up really well, amid the growing anticipation. Dragon or NTR 31 marks the first collaboration between NTR and Neel, who got the wide pan-India recognition with their recent films. Considering the top-tier talent involved and huge expectations among the nationwide audience, the makers are treating it as a proper Pan-India blockbuster, and accordingly have locked a post-theatrical streaming deal. According to the latest Telugu media reports, Dragon has finalised its streaming partner ahead of its massive theatrical release next year. The high-octane period actioner has reportedly sealed a lucrative digital deal with Netflix, with an 8-week post-theatrical window before its OTT premiere. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts, Dragon joins the very few South Indian origin Pan India films to lock an 8-week window. It is to be noted that to secure wide release in Hindi, a film requires an 8-week theatrical run, and the makers of Dragon are highly confident that their film will work wonders at the Hindi box office. However, an extended window for all versions is definitely a welcome move. The film, said to be mounted on a massive scale, features Jr. NTR in an intense action-packed role with Prashanth Neel's trademark dark, gritty tone and large-scale world-building. The shooting is currently in progress, with major portions being filmed in specially erected sets across Hyderabad and abroad. The film is scheduled to release on June 25, 2026, in multiple languages. Stay tuned...

Top 10 Biggest South Indian Opening Day Grossers At The Hindi Box Office: Pushpa 2 Rules As Kantara Chapter 1 Takes 8th Spot

Mumbai, October 3 - South Indian cinema continues to make a mark at the Hindi box office, and the latest to enter the race is Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1, which has taken a good start in the dubbed version, scoring 18.50 crore opening day. Among the top 10 biggest South Indian openers at the Hindi box office, Kantara 2 has secured the 8th spot. At the very top of the list is Allu Arjun's Pan India phenomenon, Pushpa 2: The Rule, which rewrote box office history with a mammoth 70 crore opening day in Hindi, which is a record. This number is far ahead of every other South release and firmly establishes Pushpa 2 as a true pan-India monster. Kannada superstar Yash's KGF Chapter 2 follows next with 54 crore net opening, a record that held strong until Pushpa 2 arrived. SS Rajamouli's epic blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion sits at number 3 with 41 crores net. It is worth noting that it was the Baahubali franchise, which originally opened the floodgates for South dominance in Hindi belts. Prabhas, easily the biggest South Indian star in the Hindi market, makes multiple entries in the top 10, with Saaho making it to the top 5, followed by his Kalki 2898 AD. Rajamouli's RRR, along with superstar Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's sci-fi extravaganza 2.0, also entered the list with solid openings. Breaking into this power-packed list at No. 8, Kantara Chapter 1, which is the second Kannada movie in this coveted list. Unlike mass-heavy commercial entertainers like KGF or Pushpa, Kantara thrives on its unique storytelling, cultural rootedness, and mysticism, yet still managed to draw audiences in large numbers on day one. Prabhas' Salaar Part 1 - Ceasefire, followed by Ram Charan's Game Changer, and Jr. NTR's Devara Part 1, take the remaining spots in the list. The last two are the only films with less than 10 crores net openings in the list in the Hindi version.
