Kamal and Rajinikanth film for 2028 Pongal?
Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth have announced that they will coming together after 46 years in the direction of Nelson Dilipkumar. KHXRK glimpse has gone viral and audiences have been waiting for a long time about new updates from the makers. Nelson is currently enjoying the success of Jailer 2, and latest gossip is that he is planning to take off this film and release it for 2028 Pongal. According to industry buzz, Nelson has started working on the script for the much-awaited film featuring both legendary actors. With Jailer 2 turning out to be a big success, there is reportedly renewed interest in taking the project forward at the earliest. The combination itself has generated considerable curiosity, given that bringing Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth together in a full-fledged film remains a major prospect for Tamil cinema. As per the ongoing gossip, the makers are looking at a 2028 Pongal release or the Tamil New Year window in April. The film is reportedly expected to go on floors sometime in 2027, although the makers are yet to make any official announcement regarding the project, its schedule or release plans. Considering the age and packed commitments of both superstars, completing the film within a planned timeline could be a priority if the project moves forward as expected. For now, Nelson’s next with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth remains an exciting industry rumour, with further clarity expected only after the script and other details are finalised.

Are Hrithik Roshan and Nelson doing a film?
Rumours about Hrithik Roshan joining forces with Jailer 2 director Nelson Dilipkumar for Hombale Films have been doing the rounds. Hrithik reportedly has a commitment with the KGF and Kantara production house, and the possibility of an exciting collaboration with Nelson has generated curiosity. However, the speculation seems far from concrete, considering the commitments lined up for both the actor and the director. Hrithik had previously confirmed that he would make his directorial debut with Krrish 4. The ambitious superhero franchise is a major personal commitment for the actor, who is expected to take charge behind the camera as well. While there is no clarity on when the film will go on floors, his directorial plans remain an important factor when assessing reports about his next projects. Nelson, meanwhile, has several possibilities on the table. Producer Naga Vamsi has reiterated his desire to make the much-discussed film with Jr NTR happen, although he indicated that the project would take time. Nelson is also committed to directing the highly anticipated Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan reunion film. With Jailer 2 delivering a strong box-office performance, the director's immediate priorities could revolve around his existing commitments. Rajinikanth, who is currently shooting for Dharman, may also be keen to move forward with the reunion project as soon as schedules permit. The success of Jailer 2 has further strengthened Nelson's position, making his next directorial move an important one. Given these circumstances, the reports of Hrithik Roshan teaming up with Nelson for Hombale Films appear premature. The collaboration could be an exciting prospect, but until an official announcement or a credible confirmation emerges, it is best treated as speculation rather than a project that is ready to take off.

TFI release issues: Varanasi too postponed?
Telugu Film Industry is once again heading towards a phase of release date reshuffles, with reports suggesting that Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi might be postponed from its planned April 7, 2027 release. If the reports turn out to be true, the development could trigger a fresh round of changes to the release calendar, with several big-budget and medium-budget films potentially reconsidering their dates. Varanasi has been positioned as one of the biggest releases of 2027, with the Ugadi holiday window expected to give the film a major theatrical opening. However, reports suggesting that the film might not arrive as planned have already sparked discussions about which film could occupy the April slot. Prabhas’ Fauzi, which was earlier planned for December 4, is reportedly being considered for an April release if Varanasi moves out of the window. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s Dharman is also said to be moving away from its earlier Pongal release plan, with reports suggesting a late-April 2027 release. Prabhas’ Spirit, on the other hand, has locked October 29, 2027, for Diwali. While these developments involve different films and release windows, they underline the uncertainty surrounding the theatrical calendar. The bigger concern is the domino effect these changes could create. When a major film postpones, other producers who have locked dates around festivals, holidays and distribution plans may have to rethink their strategies. Medium-budget films could be particularly affected, as securing a favourable release window without facing competition from major star-driven projects is already a challenge. TFI has seen this cycle of postponements and release date adjustments several times, and the latest reports suggest that the industry could be heading towards another such phase. If Varanasi moves away from April 7, the consequences could extend well beyond one film, forcing several other biggies and medium-budget projects to revisit their theatrical plans. For now, the reported changes remain unconfirmed by the respective makers. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Indian 3 finally avoids clash with Dharman
Kamal Haasan's Indian 3 is reportedly targeting a Summer 2027 release, averting a potential Pongal clash with Rajinikanth's Dharman. The two biggies were expected to compete during the festive season, but the latest industry reports suggest that Shankar wants to complete the VFX work before finalising the release date. Apparently, Shankar has decided to give up his pending remuneration balance after understanding the financial issues faced by producer Lyca Productions. However, the director has reportedly insisted that the makers should not compromise on the VFX and production design, ensuring that the film meets the technical standards he envisioned. With the VFX work yet to be completed, the team is said to be focusing on getting the film ready rather than rushing it for a festive release. Shankar reportedly wants the visual effects and production design to be of the highest quality, to avoid the bad name he received during Indian 2 and Game Changer. Lyca Productions have been looking to somehow finish Indian 3 and release the film in theatres over two years. Currently, they have Inji Vellam directed by Mani Ratnam with Vijay Sethupathi also aiming for Pongal release. Many thought Lyca will be conflicted between Mani Ratnam and Shankar but even that issue has been averted, if the reports are true.

Natural star Nani could be joining hands with director Prem Kumar, best known for highly acclaimed Tamil films 96 and Meiyazhagan.

Reports further state that Bloody Romeo is going on sets after the script has been locked and Nani is not repeating The Paradise mistake. Once, the script is locked, then only, Nani has decided to change his look, which has been teased recently. Sujeeth completed the pre-production works and he promised the leading man to complete the shooting by Summer of next year. Nani is making sure that it won't be delayed further as Paradise result left him disappointed. Prem Kumar's cinema is said to be a complete love story and Nani will be seen in a complete make over from all his previous action films. In 2027, he might release two films and he is looking forward to forget the recent setback. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Tamannaah or Triptii to star in Dirty Picture 2?
Tamannaah Bhatia is reportedly in contention to headline The Dirty Picture 2, the sequel to Vidya Balan's National Award-winning film. Ektaa Kapoor, who produced the 2011 blockbuster, has confirmed that the sequel is in development, and speculation about its lead actress and storyline has now begun. Triptii Dimri's name is also doing the rounds for the project. According to the latest industry buzz, the sequel will not revisit the life of Silk Smitha, whose story inspired the original. Instead, the film is expected to explore the darker side of the entertainment industry, including the discrimination and sexual exploitation faced by women. However, the makers are yet to confirm the storyline or the lead actress. Tamannaah appears to be a strong contender, given her popularity across Hindi and South Indian cinema. Her recent high-profile dance numbers have also strengthened her bold screen image, making her an interesting choice for a film carrying the legacy of The Dirty Picture. Triptii Dimri, who gained wider recognition with Animal, is another name being discussed for the role. Meanwhile, speculation suggests that the sequel could draw inspiration from the tragic life of actress Nisha Noor, who worked predominantly in Tamil and Malayalam cinema during the 1980s. However, there is no confirmation that her life will form the basis of the film. The original The Dirty Picture, directed by Milan Luthria, featured Vidya Balan alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor. Vidya won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance. With Tamannaah and Triptii now linked to the sequel, the casting is likely to remain a major talking point until Ektaa Kapoor makes an official announcement.

After Sreeleela, Krithi Shetty going Bollywood?
Krithi Shetty is set to make her Bollywood debut with a romantic entertainer, according to media reports. Sreeleela has been busy shooting for Aashiqui 3 and now, Krithi Shetty is expected to debut with a love story directed by Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, a longtime protégé of filmmaker Rohit Shetty. According to sources close to the development, the yet-to-be-titled film is expected to go on floors later this year. Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, who has reportedly spent 17 years working under Rohit Shetty, will direct the project, which will be produced by Abhishek S Vyas under the banner of AVS Studios. Details about the storyline and the remaining cast are currently under wraps, while an official announcement is awaited. Krithi made an impressive impression on Telugu audiences with her debut as a leading actress in Uppena. She went on to feature in films such as Shyam Singha Roy, Bangarraju, The Warrior and Macherla Niyojakavargam, building a presence across Telugu and Tamil cinema. However, her Bollywood debut marks a new chapter in her career as she looks to expand her reach beyond South Indian films. Krithi was last seen in Vignesh Shivan's Love Insurance Kompany, alongside Pradeep Ranganathan and SJ Suryah. She is working in Anil Ravipudi's January 12 Vidudala with Venkatesh, Nandamuri Kalyanram and Keerthy Suresh. Recently, South heroines did not have similar luck as previous generation leads in Hindi let's see how Krithi will fare.

Is Sukumar and DSP combination a history?
Sukumar and Devi Sri Prasad have been a strong director-composer bond that looked irreplacable and unbreakable. After Arya, even though Sukumar went through a lean phase, DSP never gave an unsuccessful album and vice versa, when DSP looked out-of-form before Pushpa franchise, Sukumar did not replace him. But Sukumar's association with Mythri Movie Makers seem to have drawn a wedge between the combination. While not trying to antagonise anyone involved, the growing disastisfaction between Mythri and DSP about delays, quality of work seem to have finally taken effect. During Pushpa 2 final composition sessions, Mythri had been under severe pressure to release the film, by 5th December all over the world. During the time, openly, both parties commented about work process. DSP had been replaced from Good Bad Ugly as well at the same time. DSP openly stated that people who talk about delays should respect working style and provide content on time. Sam CS worked on background score of Pushpa 2, due to these open fights but DSP completed songs and climax BGM for the film. Thaman announced that he did work for first half but makers did not accept his contribution while Sam expressed concern about crediting as additional BGM while most of his work had been retained. But many thought for RC17, Sukumar would sort out all the issues and bring Rangasthalam trio back. Ram Charan has said to have given full creative control of the film to Sukumar and he is more or less waiting for the script work to be completed at the moment. Meanwhile, reports are emerging that Anirudh Ravichander is being considered for the film to compose music after team said to have held discussions with Shashwat Sachdev. Reasons might be speculative but it looks like Sukumar and DSP combination has come to an end after a historical journey of two decades.

Kamal to postpone Dharman for Indian 3?
Kamal Haasan is reportedly considering a change in the release plans for Dharman, the Rajinikanth-starrer being produced by him. According to Tamil media reports, the actor-producer is exploring April 30 as a possible release date, as discussions continue over the release of Indian 3. Rajinikanth is said to have agreed to work in Kamal Haasan’s production as a gesture to his longtime friend. Reports suggest that the Superstar wants the film to emerge as a huge blockbuster, with the team working towards completing the shoot by the end of November to target a Pongal release. However, Indian 3 could also benefit from the Pongal holiday season, prompting Lyca Productions to reportedly request Kamal Haasan to consider the film’s release plans. With the two projects potentially looking at the same festive window, a change in the schedule of Dharman is said to be under discussion. Indian 2 became a huge box office bomb and it is described as first mega disaster for Shankar. While I, 2.0 reported losses, they had major openings and 2.0 did recover in Tamil Nadu to an extent. Still, it is the highest ever grosser for a Tamil film. As Game Changer too ended up being even bigger disaster than Indian 2, Shankar needs Indian 3 to re-establish his market value. Even Kamal Haasan described in one of his interviews that he loved Indian 3 more than Indian 2. But reports have been consistently stating that Shankar demanded Rs.50 crores to complete the remaining shooting and post-production works while Lyca is facing tremendous monetary issues. On top of it, Kamal is not keen to join the film, due to his disparities with producer says reports. Lyca Productions have spent a fortune, almost Rs.450 crores on the two-part film and they are hoping to minimise losses with Indian 3 release. Considering all these factors, Kamal Haasan is in talks with the production house and also distributors about the plan going ahead, suggest reports.

Vijay Sethupathi to walk out of Arasan?
Vijay Sethupathi is reportedly unhappy with the prolonged delays surrounding Arasan and is said to be considering walking out of the project. According to inside reports, the actor has grown increasingly frustrated with the uncertainty over the shooting schedules, with the film continuing to take longer than expected. The actor has previously worked with director Vetrimaaran on the Viduthalai films, and the repeated delays associated with the filmmaker’s projects are said to have tested his patience this time as well. The situation has reportedly been further complicated by Silambarasan, whose portions for Arasan are also said to be taking longer to complete. The combination of the delayed schedules and uncertainty over the film’s progress has apparently not gone down well with Sethupathi. Vijay Sethupathi is currently in a strong phase of his career, with his recent release Baththa emerging as a hit. He also has an interesting lineup ahead, including Mani Ratnam’s Inji Vellam, a romantic drama featuring Sai Pallavi as the female lead. With several projects in his pipeline, the actor is reportedly keen on maintaining a more predictable schedule and is unwilling to remain indefinitely tied up with a production facing repeated delays. There is no official confirmation yet from Vijay Sethupathi, Vetrimaaran or the Arasan team regarding the reported exit. If the development materialises, it could become another major casting change for the long-in-the-making project. Anirudh Ravichander is composing music for this film produced by Kalaipuli Dhanu.

Like Baahubali, Did Rajamouli invent a new language for Varanasi?
SS Rajamouli appears to be taking the world-building in Varanasi a step further. The big fantasy time travel film is reportedly set to feature a fictional language created specifically for the film, adding another intriguing layer to its time-travel narrative. The language is said to come into play during one of the film’s time-travel sequences. The characters reportedly encounter a cave with inscriptions written in an ancient script, and decoding those writings becomes part of the mystery surrounding the sequence. Instead of simply creating a few unfamiliar words for the scene, the makers have reportedly worked with a linguistic expert to develop the language with its own script, grammar and syntax. This immediately brings back memories of Baahubali. Rajamouli had previously created the fictional Kiliki language for the Kalakeya warriors in Baahubali: The Beginning, with writer and lyricist Madhan Karky developing it. Kiliki became one of the memorable elements of the film, particularly because of the distinctive way it sounded and was used by the Kalakeya characters. However, Varanasi appears to be attempting something more elaborate. If the reports are accurate, the new language is not merely being used to give a particular group of characters a distinct identity; its written form and ability to be decoded could actually have a role in the story. That makes it an interesting detail to watch out for when Rajamouli unveils more of the film. Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is being mounted as a large-scale time-travel adventure spanning different eras and locations. The film is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on April 7, 2027. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Ravi Teja and Vivek Athreya cast two ladies but..!
Ravi Teja and Vivek Athreya’s upcoming collaboration is turning interesting on the casting front. Industry buzz suggests that the film has locked Priyanka Mohan and Anaswara Rajan in prominent female roles, making it a two-heroines setup. Priyanka Mohan is said to be the leading lady, while Anaswara Rajan is reportedly playing another important character with considerable prominence in the story. The makers are said to be keeping the details of both roles under wraps for now, leaving the relationship between the two characters and their importance to Ravi Teja’s character open to speculation. The casting is particularly interesting given Vivek Athreya’s penchant for building films around distinctive characters rather than conventional commercial templates. Bringing Ravi Teja together with Priyanka and Anaswara could give the film an unusual dynamic, although the makers are yet to reveal the film’s plot or the exact nature of their roles. For Anaswara, the project would mark another significant step into Telugu cinema after making her presence felt with her recent work. Priyanka, meanwhile, continues to be part of several interesting projects across the South. The film marks Ravi Teja’s first collaboration with Vivek Athreya and is expected to be a different outing for the actor. While the official announcement is yet to reveal the complete cast and character details, the reported combination of Ravi Teja, Priyanka Mohan and Anaswara Rajan has already become an interesting talking point in industry circles.

Aadarsha Kutumbam postponement news riles up Venky fans
The release plans of Venkatesh and Trivikram Srinivas’ Aadarsha Kutumbam AK-47 are reportedly undergoing a change. The film, which was being lined up for an October 9 release, is said to be heading for a postponement, with October 30 now being discussed as the new release date. According to reports, the team needs more time to complete the post-production work and is unlikely to meet the October 9 deadline. The makers have reportedly informed distributors about their plans to target October 30, although an official announcement is yet to be made. The latest development has not gone down well with Venkatesh fans. They have been attacking Naga Vamsi and producer China Babu of Haarika Hassine Creations for wasting Venkatesh time. They are further criticising the rushed completion and delayed execution without proper planning to release the movie on time from the beginning. For now, October 30 is said to be the date being considered by the team. If the reports turn out to be true, Aadarsha Kutumbam team will be looking at losing the lucrative Dasara holiday period. Naga Vamsi is said to be meeting press to address the issue very soon. Disclaimer: The news article is written based on information shared by various sources.

Jailer 2: Rajini wants U/A, Nelson wants A?
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 has reportedly landed in a certification tussle, with the film’s violent content becoming a talking point ahead of its October 15 release. Recent reports claimed that the CBFC had considered an A certificate for the Nelson Dilipkumar directorial, while Rajinikanth was said to be keen on a U/A certificate so that the film could reach a wider family audience. According to the reports, Rajinikanth was said to have asked the makers to avoid repeating the A-certificate situation of Coolie. The reports further claimed that the makers were discussing whether certain violent portions should be trimmed to secure a U/A certificate. However, there has been no official confirmation from Sun Pictures regarding the film’s certification. Rajinikanth’s publicist Riaz K Ahmed has now responded to these reports on X and dismissed them as untrue. Sharing the report, he wrote, “This is untrue. Jailer 2 updates will be given by the production house as per their schedule…” He later also asked fans not to panic, stating that there were no changes to the release plans as of now. Jailer 2 is scheduled to release worldwide on October 15, 2026, with Rajinikanth returning as Muthuvel Pandian. Nelson Dilipkumar is directing the sequel, while Anirudh is composing the music. Sun Pictures has officially retained the October 15 release date, and the makers are continuing with their promotional plans.

Raashii Khanna confirmed Ram in Rajini's Dharman?
Raashii Khanna appears to have accidentally revealed a closely guarded casting detail of Rajinikanth’s Dharman. The actress, who is currently shooting for the film in Mysuru, shared a picture from the sets featuring herself, Rajinikanth and Ram Pothineni. She also mentioned her early morning workout sessions with “Rajini sir and Ram” before deleting the post shortly after. Ram Pothineni’s name has been linked to Dharman for quite some time. There have been reports that he has been brought on board for an important role, with speculation even suggesting that he could be playing the antagonist opposite Rajinikanth. However, the makers have maintained silence and are yet to officially announce Ram as part of the cast. Raashii’s now-deleted post has therefore added significant weight to the speculation, even though his character and involvement remain officially unconfirmed. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, Dharman marks Rajinikanth’s 173rd film and is produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International. Raashii Khanna, Simran and Rukmini Vasanth are among the confirmed cast members, while Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music. The film is being planned as a Pongal 2027 release. For Ram, a role alongside Rajinikanth would be another interesting development at a time when he is also moving into a new phase of his career. The actor is preparing to make his directorial debut with RAPO22. Meanwhile, all eyes are now on the Dharman team for an official word on whether Ram is indeed part of the film and, if so, what role he plays.
