Teja Sajja's Box Office Superhit Mirai OTT Release Date Revealed

Hyderabad, October 4 - The rising Telugu actor Teja Sajja continued his winning streak at the box office with the sci-fi action-adventure film Mirai, after the big blockbuster success of Hanuman last year. The movie is now gearing up for its much-awaited digital release. As per the latest update, Mirai will start streaming on JioHotstar from October 10, 2025, in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil languages. However, Hindi audiences will have to wait a little longer, as the dubbed version is slated to premiere only after completing eight weeks of its theatrical run. Mirai will have the extended theatrical window. Normally, South Indian films start streaming after 4 weeks of the theatrical release, but here, Mirai will have an extra week to perform at the box office, as the OTT window for this movie is 5 weeks, which is a good change. The big-screen release of Mirai created solid buzz across India and overseas, turning into one of the Telugu cinema's biggest grossers of the year. So far, the film has amassed an impressive 142 crore worldwide gross, with 109 crore coming from the Indian box office alone. The OTT release will give fans another chance to revisit the visual extravaganza and also open the film to new audiences who missed it in theatres. With its blend of sci-fi themes, high-octane action, and stunning visuals, Mirai is expected to perform strongly in the digital space too, just as it did at the box office. 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.

Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara Sets Up Clash With Prabhas' Baahubali - The Epic

Hyderabad, October 3 - Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja's Mass Jathara has confirmed its release date. Directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, the much-awaited action drama will be hitting the worldwide theatres on October 31st, after facing multiple delays. The makers officially announced the new release date on October 1st with a new poster and fun promo. Mass Jathara, however, won't be a solo release as it will be up against SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Epic, which is a single-part film of the director's duology. Starring Prabhas in the lead role, Baahubali - The Epic could be a big challenge for Mass Jathara, despite everyone knowing what the story is about. It is said that there will be new footage in the nearly 4-hour cut of Baahubali 3, and that might attract viewers, as the first two parts were massive box office blockbusters. Mass Jathara, meanwhile, is carrying good buzz among the fans. Produced by Fortune Four Cinemas, Sithara Entertainments, and Srikara Studios, the film also stars Sreeleela as the female lead, reuniting with Ravi Teja after Dhamaka, alongside Nitish Nirmal, Krishna Kumar, and Pandu Chirumamilla.

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Overtakes Sankranthiki Vasthunam To Emerge As 2025's Top Telugu Grosser

Hyderabad, October 1 - Power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG continues its decent run at the worldwide box office after the good opening weekend. Having already become the biggest and first 200 crores gross of the Telugu superstar, Sujeeth's directorial has now shattered a record for Telugu cinema this year. On its first Wednesday (7th day), They Call Him OG officially surpassed the collections of Venkatesh Daggubati's Sankranthiki Vasthunam (255.20 crores), making it the highest-grossing Telugu film of the year at the worldwide box office. The achievement further strengthens Pawan Kalyan's dominance at the box office with this film, which has easily been his most hyped in recent times. They Call Him OG opened to record-breaking numbers and sustained decently since that, drawing audiences across both domestic and overseas markets. The film's strong storyline, coupled with Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s charismatic performance and Sujeeth"ā„¢s stylish direction, has helped it maintain momentum on a decent level. This consistency has now placed it at the very top of the Telugu box office for 2025, a spot previously held by the Sankranthi blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam. They Call Him OG has not only redefined expectations for Telugu cinema this year but also added another feather to Pawan Kalyan"ā„¢s illustrious career. It is quite stunning that despite carrying massive star power, Pawan Kalyan had never touched the 200 crores mark before. They Call Him OG has not only breached that milestone, but is also likely to end the year as the biggest Telugu grosser of the year, unless new films surprise. Stay tuned...

Akshaye Khanna To Play Asuraguru Shukracharya In Prasanth Varma's Mahakali

Hyderabad, September 30 - In October last year, filmmaker Prasanth Varma announced a female-led superhero movie Mahakali, in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, with an astonishing poster, showing a cosy moment between the girl and the tiger. Directed by a lady director, Puja Aparna Kolluru Mahakali, Mahakali is about Goddess Kali, an invincible warrior, the protector of the righteous, and the ultimate destroyer of evil. Ever since the announcement, fans have been asking for more updates regarding the film's cast, and the makers have finally dropped a big one. On Tuesday, September 30, the makers officially confirmed Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna on board and also dropped the first look poster of his in the film. The first look introduces Akshaye as Shukracharya, the revered teacher and spiritual guide of the Asuras (demons) in the Hindu epic. The poster shows the actor in a fierce and intense avatar, with long grey hair tied in a top knot, a flowing beard, a sacred tilak on his forehead, and a glowing white eye that adds a supernatural aura to his presence. Set against a dark and fiery backdrop, the imagery perfectly captures the mystical world of the Asuras, with Khanna exuding authority and wisdom as their revered guru Produced by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under the banner of RKD Studios, Mahakali is the maiden film of Akshaye in Telugu cinema. The actor's inclusion gives the film a significant advantage, apart from being part of PVCU. The film is currently in production and is expected to be wrapped by December this year.

Prabhas' The Raja Saab Averts Direct Clash With Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan

Hyderabad, September 29 - Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab trailer was launched on September 29, and the response has been superb. The romantic horror comedy, directed by Maruthi, is one of the most anticipated films of 2026, after getting postponed multiple times. Produced by People Media Factory, The Raja Saab was recently pushed back to January 9, 2026, from December 5, 2025, release. By doing that, the makers confirmed the clash with Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, which is also scheduled to release on January 9. However, the makers have made another twist in the release date, as they seem to be in no mood to clash directly with the Tamil superstar. While the movie is sticking to January 9 in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada versions, the makers have pushed the release date back by a day in the Tamil version. In Tamil, The Raja Saab will hit the big screens on January 9, avoiding the direct clash with Jana Nayagan. While it may still not make much difference, it seems the makers want to give the best chance to the film to find the Tamil audience by not taking on the Tamil blockbuster head-on. The Raja Saab is the first of its kind film for Prabhas, who seems to be playing a dual role in the movie alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), Riddhi Kumar, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab. The plot revolves around a young man who sets his eyes on his ancestral property to ease him out of a cash crunch. Stay tuned...

Pawan Kalyan's They Call Him OG Scored A Good First Weekend: On Course To Emerge As A Success Story

Hyderabad, September 29 "ā€œ Power star Pawan Kalyan's gangster action drama They Call Him OG has had a big first weekend at the worldwide box office. The film, directed by Sujeeth, has grossed an impressive 228 crore in just four days, consolidating its position as one of the biggest openers of 2025. After the huge opening day, the film maintained a decent hold over the weekend, with a natural dip in collections across both domestic and overseas markets. It has already become the highest-grossing film and the first 200 crores grosser of Pawan Kalyan's career in its opening stretch, underlining his enduring star power and massive fan following. As per the trade estimates, They Call Him OG needs to collect around 300 crore worldwide to break even and be termed a box office hit. With the momentum from the extended opening weekend, the target looks well within reach, provided the film maintains steady collections during the weekdays. The coming days will be critical in determining its long-term success. If They Call Him OG continues to perform strongly across regions, it could not only achieve break-even comfortably but also emerge as one of the standout commercial successes of the year.
