Varanasi: Jr NTR's son Bhargava Ram roped in to play young Mahesh Babu? Report claims Superstar made the request

The excitement around SS Rajamouli"™s magnum opus Varanasi (formerly SSMB29) has just hit a fever pitch. After the massive title reveal earlier this month, a new report is sending shockwaves through Tollywood. If the latest buzz is to be believed, we are about to witness a historic Nandamuri meets Ghattamaneni moment on the big screen! If the latest buzz in Tollywood is anything to go by, fans are in for a massive surprise. According to strong reports, Bhargava Ram"”the 7-year-old younger son of 'Man of Masses' Jr NTR"”has been roped in to make his grand acting debut in SS Rajamouli"™s Varanasi. While official confirmation is still awaited, this development has already sparked a frenzy on social media, marking a potential crossover between two of the industry's biggest acting dynasties. Sources close to the development claim that Bhargava will be playing the childhood version of Mahesh Babu"™s character (Rudhra). The casting choice reportedly didn't happen through a usual audition process. The buzz suggests that Superstar Mahesh Babu personally requested Jr NTR to let his son take up the role, feeling the young starkid had the perfect charm and resemblance for the part. While Jr NTR and Mahesh Babu share a close bond off-screen, their families have rarely crossed paths professionally. If verified, seeing the Young Tiger's son play the Superstar's younger self would be a cinematic treat for fans of both massive clans. Officially announced as Varanasi on November 15, SS Rajamouli"™s magnum opus is shaping up to be a globetrotting action-adventure of unprecedented scale. The film boasts a stellar ensemble, with Mahesh Babu rumored to essay a dual role as Rudhra and Lord Ram, alongside global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the female lead, Mandakini, and Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran as the formidable antagonist, Kumbha. Blending mythology with sci-fi elements, the intricate plot reportedly involves time travel and a catastrophic event in ancient 512 CE Varanasi that links to the modern world of 2027. Mounted on a staggering budget of reportedly ₹1300 crore, Varanasi promises to be India"™s most expensive cinematic spectacle to date. While the reports are strong and the casting news is dominating social media trends, an official confirmation from the makers or Jr NTR"™s family is still awaited. Until then, fans are keeping their fingers crossed for this mega-crossover!

Andhra King Taluka Day 1 : Post Weakest Opening for Ram Pothineni in Years; Fails to Match Skanda and Double iSmart

The wait for a massive turnaround for Ustaad Ram Pothineni continues. His latest emotional drama, Andhra King Taluka, released yesterday (Thursday) to a lukewarm reception at the ticket windows. Despite a fresh combination with director Mahesh Babu P and the presence of Kannada superstar Upendra, the film"™s opening day numbers have fallen significantly short of the actor"™s recent standards. According to early estimates, Andhra King Taluka collected a net of ₹4.25 Crore in India on its first day (Thursday). While these numbers would be decent for a mid-range film, they are alarming for a star of Ram"™s stature, especially when compared to his previous openers. The film has failed to generate the "mass frenzy" usually associated with his releases. To put the current performance into perspective, a comparison with Ram Pothineni"™s recent releases reveals a concerning downward trend in his initial theatrical pull. While his previous outing Skanda registered a massive opening of ₹13.6 crore gross, followed by Double iSmart with a moderate start of ₹8.4 crore gross, Andhra King Taluka has opened significantly lower. With an estimated gross of roughly ₹5.2 crore (derived from the ₹4.25 crore net figures), the film"™s opening numbers are approximately 60% lower than Skanda and trail significantly behind Double iSmart, indicating a sharp decline in day-one dominance. Trade analysts suggest the drop in numbers could be due to the film"™s significant genre shift. Unlike Ram Pothineni"™s previous high-octane mass actioners like Skanda and Double iSmart, Andhra King Taluka is pitched as an emotional biopic of a fan, a theme that may not have immediately resonated with the mass audience. Directed by Mahesh Babu P (of Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty fame), the film features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead and music by the duo Vivek-Mervin. The plot follows the journey of Sagar (Ram Pothineni), a die-hard fan whose life revolves around a fictional superstar named Surya Kumar, played by Kannada star Upendra, shifting the focus from typical commercial elevations to a more grounded, character-driven narrative. Early word of mouth is mixed to positive but lacks blockbuster euphoria. While audiences are praising Ram Pothineni"™s grounded performance and his emotional dynamic with Upendra, the slow pacing and absence of commercial high moments have reportedly disappointed the core mass audience expecting his usual high-energy actioners. With an opening of ₹4.25 Crore Net, Andhra King Taluka has a runway to build momentum over the coming days. The Thursday release provides a strategic advantage in the form of an extended weekend, offering ample time for the film to grow. If the emotional content resonates with the audience as expected, the movie is well-positioned to capitalize on the holiday stretch and see an upward trend in collections.
