SSMB29 is currently being shot in Kenya, where 95% of the total African schedules of the movie will take place. The backdrop of vast grasslands in the leaked pic amid the presence of crew further reinforces reports that Rajamouli is crafting a globetrotting action-adventure saga. While neither the makers nor the actors have officially commented on the leaks, fans have already begun speculating about the storyline. Many are calling it Mahesh Babu's most daring role yet, with some even comparing the visual tone to Hollywood-style adventure dramas. Gen63, as has already been revealed, is an action-adventure film deeply rooted in the epic Ramayana, with science fiction elements. It is reportedly set in the ancient holy city of Kashi, which is revered for its historical and cultural significance. The movie will see Mahesh Babu reportedly donning multiple looks that reflect his character's evolution, while Priyanka Chopra, who plays the female lead, is said to be playing an intrepid explorer.

Hyderabad, September 3 - Maverick director SS Rajamouli's action adventure film with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and desi girl Priyanka Chopra, is creating frenzy among the fans over the last few days after the much-awaited update about the first look teaser was announced along with international shoot plans.

The minister also said in his post that the film is looking to reach over a billion people worldwide, which would be something out of the world if the makers pulled this off. Apart from the ambitious release plans, Minister Mudavadi also revealed that Gen63 is a 2-part epic saga, and now, that is something which is creating confusion. Time and again, there have been rumours about the plans to release the film in multiple parts, but the reliable Telugu media portals have confirmed that it will be a single-part film, not a franchise. The confusion persists, especially after the revelation by a foreign minister, as the makers haven't made any official statement yet regarding the same. Irrespective of how many parts of Gen63 will be there, the film is expected to take Indian cinema to new heights in terms of scale, budget, and box office performance. Touted as the globetrotter, it is said to be the biggest Asian project with a budget of over 1000 crores. The first look teaser of the movie will be released in November this year, and the plans are to release the movie in the first half of 2027 in multiple languages worldwide. Stay tuned...

The Telugu superstar has begun showcasing his raw stardom with one of his most highly anticipated films in recent times, They Call Him OG, in advance bookings at the North American box office. Directed by Sujeeth, the gangster action thriller is still nearly 4 weeks away from hitting the big screens, but the pre-sales are already breathing fire as far as the North America premiere is concerned. The pre-sales of OG began on August 27 in NA, and in no time, it has crossed $500K already for the premiere, which is on September 24. During the first hour of pre-sales opening, OG saw record-breaking response, with four shows at Cinemark Dallas selling out in minutes. Seeing the response, 35 premiere shows have already been scheduled at one of the top-grossing Cinemark theatres in Dallas, by distributor Prathyangira Cinemas. The pre-sales exploded as more locations opened the booking, and as per Venky Box Office, it has crossed $500K from nearly 1125 shows over 300 locations and sold over 17,000 tickets. OG is the fastest Telugu title to achieve $500K pre-sales in North America. Prathyangira Cinemas has kept ticket prices as high as $25-$30, as fans fuel a potential blockbuster. Going by the initial trend, OG will be eyeing one of the biggest premiere days in North America for a Telugu film.

Mark the Calendar! Prabhas' Much-Awaited The Raja Saab Gets Official Release Date

Hyderabad, August 6 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted romantic horror-comedy The Raja Saab is among the most-anticipated Indian movies. Directed by Maruthi, the movie has officially been postponed from December 5, 2025, as was already reportedly in the media. Produced by People Media Factory, the movie will now be hitting the big screens on January 9, 2026, during the Sankranthi festival weekend. The makers officially confirmed the release date during the trailer launch event of Teja Sajja's Mirai, which is produced by the same team. With The Raja Saab confirming to come on Sankranthi, this marks his first film in 18 years, since Yogi (2019), to release during this lucrative holiday period. At the moment, the film is clashing with megastar Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, which was announced for Sankranthi 2026, along with Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the most bankable Pan-India stars, who can do wonders at the box office if the film is good enough, and considering this, the makers have given the best chance to the film to explode at the box office as Sankranthi is a major holiday period for the box office. During a recent interview, producer TG Vishwa Prasad hinted that they are planning to release the movie on January 9, 2026, while mentioning that Bollywood buyers were insisting on sticking with the December 5, 2025, release. The producer added that a few songs and some patchwork are yet to be completed as they are expecting to wrap the film by October. He also revealed that director Maruthi has shot raw footage of 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the editing team is working on chopping and editing it down to about 2 hours and 45 minutes. It can be said that the final runtime of The Raja Saab will be around 165 minutes, and it might get stretched to around 3 hours. Produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, the film's plot revolves around a young man who sets his eyes on his ancestral property to ease him out of a cash crunch. It stars Prabhas in the lead role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), and Riddhi Kumar. Stay tuned...
