‘Dragon’: NTR’s Grand Intro Song Planned in Sri Lanka

Young Tiger NTR and director Prashanth Neel have teamed up for the much-awaited action extravaganza “Dragon.” After unveiling an intense glimpse recently, the makers have resumed shooting for the film in Hyderabad.

According to the latest buzz, Prashanth Neel is planning a grand introduction song for NTR. While the director is known for prioritizing action and drama over elaborate dance numbers in films like KGF and Salaar, he reportedly wants to highlight NTR’s exceptional dancing skills with a memorable opening number.

Sources suggest that the lavishly mounted song will be shot partly in Sri Lanka next month. The sequence is expected to be one of the major highlights of the film.

In Dragon, NTR plays Luger, a deadly assassin tasked with dismantling a powerful drug mafia network. The film is said to combine high-octane action with patriotic undertones. To fit the role, NTR has reportedly undergone a significant physical transformation and shed weight.

Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead in the film, which is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Dragon is currently slated for a grand release in 2027.

Speculation gained momentum after reports surfaced suggesting that Buchi Babu could direct Mahesh Babu in a mythological drama as his next project.

Addressing the rumors during a recent press interaction, Buchi Babu offered a measured response.

Gopichand Tries a New Avatar with ‘Singa’: Wild Glimpse Sparks Curiosity

Macho Star Gopichand is gearing up for a fresh attempt to reinvent himself as he searches for a much-needed box-office success. Despite starring in several commercial action entertainers in recent years, the actor has struggled to score a major hit. Now, it appears he is taking a different route with his upcoming film, Singa.

On the occasion of Gopichand’s birthday, the makers officially unveiled the title glimpse of his 34th project, confirming Singa as the film’s title. The glimpse showcases the actor in a rugged and intense new look, featuring a thick beard, heavy moustache, and a fierce screen presence. His striking appearance and piercing eyes have already caught the attention of fans.

One of the biggest highlights of the project is that it marks the directorial debut of renowned stunt choreographer V. Venkat. Having earned a strong reputation as an action master in the industry, Venkat is now stepping behind the camera for the first time. The film is said to be set against a raw and rustic periodic backdrop, promising a gritty action experience. Given Venkat’s expertise, audiences can expect stylized and hard-hitting action sequences designed specifically to suit Gopichand’s mass image.

Adding to the excitement is the background score by music composer Shyam CS, whose powerful soundtrack elevates the intensity of the title glimpse. The music complements the film’s rugged tone and leaves a strong impact.

Meanwhile, Gopichand is also working on Bharata Varsha, directed by Sankalp Reddy, known for his unique storytelling style. Interestingly, both projects seem to move away from routine commercial formulas and focus on distinct narratives and fresh presentation.

For long-term success at the box office, strong storytelling and engaging screenplays have become essential, especially for today’s audience. Singa appears to be aiming for exactly that, blending mass action with a raw and realistic treatment.

Produced by Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devi Reddy under the 70MM Entertainments banner, the film stars Anarkali Nazar as the female lead. While it is too early to predict the outcome, Singa has certainly generated curiosity with its first glimpse. The coming months and future promotional material will reveal whether this ambitious action drama can deliver the breakthrough Gopichand has been waiting for.

Vishwak Sen Reveals His Hilarious One-Sided Love Story at Deewana Event

Mass Ka Das Vishwak Sen became the center of attention at the promotional event of the upcoming youthful entertainer Deewana, starring Harshith Reddy and Smeha Manimegalai. Scheduled for release on June 19, the film revolves around intense emotions and one-sided love, making Vishwak the perfect guest for the occasion.

During the event, the anchor asked Vishwak Sen if he had any memorable one-sided crush stories from his real life, considering that Deewana is based on a one-sided love story. Responding with his trademark humor, Vishwak laughed and said, “My entire life has been one-sided,” before sharing a funny incident from his school days.

The actor revealed that when he was studying in the tenth grade, he had a huge crush on a girl who studied at Dilsukhnagar Public School. Recalling those innocent teenage days, he admitted that he used to secretly take his father’s bike just to catch a glimpse of her.

Vishwak shared that he would ride to her school every week and wait outside, hoping to see her. Surprisingly, this routine continued for almost an entire year. However, the biggest twist in the story left everyone in splits—despite following her school for a year, he never once gathered the courage to speak to her.

The audience burst into laughter as Vishwak confessed that he spent an entire year admiring her from a distance without expressing his feelings. He added that whenever someone mentions one-sided love, this particular memory immediately comes to his mind.

The anchor then playfully asked whether he had ever tried contacting her later in life. Vishwak responded with another hilarious punchline, saying that she was already married, once again sending the crowd into laughter.

His candid and honest storytelling quickly became one of the highlights of the event and is now going viral on social media. Many youngsters are relating to the actor’s experience, as teenage crushes and one-sided love stories are something almost everyone can connect with.

Interestingly, Vishwak’s real-life story perfectly complemented the theme of Deewana. The film’s trailer showcases the struggles, emotions, and longing associated with one-sided love, and director Srikanth Sangishetty appears to have captured those feelings effectively on screen.

With Vishwak Sen openly sharing his own experience and extending support to the film, Deewana has gained additional buzz among audiences. Whether the film can convert this growing excitement into box-office success will be known when it hits theatres on June 19.

The first spell of monsoon showers exposed Hyderabad’s infrastructure vulnerabilities as just one hour of heavy rain brought large parts of the city to a grinding halt on Tuesday night.

Several key areas, including Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hitech City, and the Financial District, witnessed severe waterlogging, resulting in massive traffic snarls and widespread disruption. Commuters were left stranded for hours as roads turned into virtual rivers, making travel across the city extremely difficult.

Hyderabad, one of India’s fastest-growing metropolitan cities and a major IT hub, already struggles with heavy traffic congestion on a daily basis. The sudden downpour only worsened the situation, with long queues of vehicles stretching across major junctions and arterial roads.

Videos and images of the traffic chaos quickly went viral on social media, prompting citizens to question the preparedness of civic authorities despite repeated monsoon warnings every year. Many residents expressed frustration over poor drainage systems and inadequate measures to handle even a brief spell of intense rainfall.

The rain also turned tragic in some areas. Reports suggest that two youngsters lost their lives after a structure collapsed during the downpour, raising fresh concerns about public safety and the condition of urban infrastructure.

The incident has once again sparked a debate about Hyderabad’s readiness to cope with extreme weather events. While the city continues to expand rapidly, residents are demanding stronger infrastructure, better drainage networks, and improved emergency response systems to prevent such disruptions in the future.

What lasted only an hour in the form of rain ended up causing hours of chaos, highlighting the urgent need for long-term urban planning and monsoon preparedness across the city.
