Is Pan-Indian marketing failing for mid-range Telugu projects? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

The idea of pan-India movies has gained traction with filmmakers and actors promoting their films beyond Telugu states. But except for big-budget films like Pushpa 2 and Kalki 2898 Ad most Telugu movies have failed to make an impact outside their home market.

Mainly the actors who do not hold a strong market in the Telugu states such as Nani and Naga Chaitanya are aggressively marketing their films in many languages. So far, they have not got any box office success. Take the case of Nani traveling all over India to promote his films Hi Nanna and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. These films barely brought in anything when released in Hindi. Similarly Kiran Abbavaram’s Ka did not go well in the Malayalam market despite his all efforts.

Naga Chaitanya’s recent release Thandel has performed exceptionally well in Telugu states and overseas but its Tamil,...

“Lilo & Stitch”, the animated 2022 film has been adapted into a live-action feature, releasing May 23, 2025 in theaters:

“…the original film tells the story of two individuals: an orphaned Hawaiian girl named ‘Lilo Pelekai’, who is raised by her struggling older sister, ‘Nani’, after their parents' deaths…

“…and the genetically engineered extraterrestrial creature ‘Experiment 626’, who Lilo adopts as her ‘dog’ and renames ‘Stitch’…

“Stitch, designed to cause chaos and destruction, initially uses Lilo to avoid recapture by an ‘intergalactic federation’.

“They develop a close bond through the Hawaiian concept of ‘Ohana’, or extended family, causing Stitch to reconsider…

“…his intended destructive purpose in order to keep his newfound family together…”

"There's something down on the field... That thing is indestructible!" Stitch gone wild! Disney has debuted a very fun 30-second Super Bowl spot for Lilo & Stitch, the 2025 live-action remake of the beloved 2002 animated classic. This spot is riffing on the Big Game, referencing the original marketing campaign that was often playing on all the other entertainment. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker from the lovely film Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Co-director of the original Chris Sanders also returns to voice Stitch. Also featuring Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, with Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis, introducing Maia Kealoha as Lilo. Stitch is just messing around and getting into trouble running on this football field. Still waiting to see an actual trailer fro this movie due out in May this summer movie season. Can you catch him? // Continue Reading ›...

Another teaser trailer for the live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch” has been released, with the feral, blue extraterrestrial taking over the football field during the Super Bowl. The brief spot aired early in the game and made it seem initially like there was something wrong with the broadcast, or an unauthorized person accidentally went onto the field.

The remake sees Maia Kealoha star as Lilo Pelekai, while Sydney Agudong plays her older sister, Nani. Stitch is voiced once again by Chris Sanders, returning from the original film. Zach Galifianakis is Stitch’s creator, Dr. Jumba Jookiba, while Billy Magnussen plays Agent Pleakley, who’s sent to accompany the wily doctor. Tia Carrere, the original voice of Nani, will also be in the remake as Mrs. Kekoa, along with Courtney B. Vance as a social worker. The cast also includes Amy Hill and Jason Scott Lee, both returning after being...

That Lilo & Stitch commercial that aired during the 2025 Super Bowl was adorable!

Instead of airing an actual teaser for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic Disney movie, the company aired a spot featuring Stitch causing mayhem on a football field.

“Wow! That thing is indestructible!” an announcer says at the end of the clip after Stitch can’t be caught by security.

The live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch will be released in theaters on May 23. The first teaser trailer was released back in 2024.

According to an official film synopsis, Lilo & Stitch “tells a story of the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who was genetically engineered to be a force of destruction. With nosy social workers and pursuing aliens banging on the door, the two bond over a shared sense of family and win the day.”

Mollywood Strike Crisis ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In December of last year, we reported on the challenging situation faced by Mollywood film producers. While Malayalam cinema has gained significant exposure outside of Kerala and is widely recognized for its content-driven, grounded storytelling, the industry has suffered severe financial losses. According to a Kerala Film Producers’ Association (Kfpa) report, the Malayalam film industry incurred losses amounting to Inr 650–700 crores in 2024.

This grim scenario persisted despite the financial success of several notable films, including A.R.M., Kishkindha Kaandam, Aavesham, Premalu, Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, Manjummel Boys, and others. Unfortunately, recent developments indicate that the situation remains unchanged.

Various film bodies in the Malayalam film industry have decided to take matters into their own hands by announcing an indefinite strike starting June 1, 2025. The strike is primarily fueled by concerns over actors’ skyrocketing remuneration and the entertainment tax, which contribute to inflated and unsustainable budgets for Malayalam films,...

Nani’s Film Overseas Release ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Last year, Nani came to the silver screen with the crime-action drama Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, directed by Vivek Athreya. The film was originally released in India on August 29, 2024. Now, the film is set to release in Japan. According to 123 Telugu, the movie will hit Japanese theatres on February 14, 2025. An official announcement regarding the Japanese release has been made, and bookings are now open.

Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is directed and written by Vivek Athreya and features an impressive cast. Nani stars as Surya, with Priyanka Arulmohan as Charulatha, S.J. Suryah as Daya, Murli Sharma as Koormanand, Ajay as Govardhan, Aditi Balan as Bhadra, Sai Kumar as Sankaram, Jhansi as Vasudha, Harshavardhan as Si Sudhakar, Ajay Ghosh as Narayana Prabha, and Subhalekha Sudhakar as Hc Kamalakar N.

The film’s cinematography is by Murali G, editing by Karthika Srinivas, music composed by Jakes Bejoy, and art direction by G.M. Sekhar.

Is Nepotism Ending Soon In Tollywood? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In recent years, pan-Indian movies have taken over the film industry. Almost every actor dreams of becoming a pan-Indian hero. However, Tollywood has faced criticism for years due to nepotism, where family connections seemed to matter more than talent. The good news is that things are changing, and audiences now value talent over background.

Take Chiranjeevi’s family as an example. Megastar Chiranjeevi has ruled Tollywood for decades. His son Ram Charan stepped into the industry with a lot of expectations. However, Ram Charan didn’t gain nationwide recognition because of his father. His Pan India success came after delivering a stellar performance in Rrr. On the other hand, Game Changer, another big-budget movie of his, didn’t meet expectations. This shows that talent and good content are more important than lineage.

Similarly, Jr Ntr, a proud member of the Nandamuri family,...

Disney’s one of the major releases during its post-animation renaissance was the animated 2002 film, Lilo & Stitch. Filmmaker Chris Sanders conceived the idea for the genetically engineered alien creature Stitch in 1985. The film was a huge success and spawned several direct-to-video films and television series. In 2025, the popular franchise will be receiving a live-action/CGI adaptation.

Kiccha Sudeep On Retirement (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

We know Kiccha Sudeep from films like Pailwaan, Vikrant Rona, Hebbuli, and his memorable role as the antagonist in 2012’s Eega opposite Nani. With a profound understanding of his craft, Sudeep has carved a remarkable career spanning 28 years. Now in his early 50s, he has appeared in 46 films and continues to showcase a clear vision for the future of his career.

Kiccha Sudeep opened up about his thoughts on retirement during a podcast with Raghavendra Chitravani. While he clarified that he isn’t tired, he admitted he might retire at some point. “Every hero becomes a bore in the end. Each one has a shelf life as a leading man,” he remarked. Sudeep also shared his perspective on transitioning to character roles, stating that such roles—like playing an older or younger brother, uncle, etc.—don’t appeal to him. “As a hero,...

Has Chiranjeevi Charged A Huge Amount For His Next Project With Srikanth Odela? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his quirky and fun roles, is collaborating with the Dasara filmmaker Srikanth Odela, and since its official announcement, the buzz around the film has been uncanny. The film is set to be a gangster drama and would feature the megastar in a completely new avatar. Odela confirmed that this film will not have any songs or heroines. The buzz is that Chiranjeevi has charged a massive remuneration for the film.

According to Siasat, Chiranjeevi has allegedly locked in a deal for Rs. 75 crores in remuneration for his upcoming film. If the sources are to be believed, this will be his highest paycheck in his entire career. The sources further suggest that the actor has already been paid a significant portion of his remuneration even before the film’s shooting.

Chiru...

What happens when South Indian cinematic brilliance collides with the poetic soul of Bengali literature? You get a masterpiece like Shyam Singha Roy. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, this 2021 Telugu blockbuster is more than just a film—it’s an experience. With Nani in a dual role and Sai Pallavi’s spellbinding portrayal of a devadasi, this movie has captured hearts while seamlessly blending two rich cultural worlds. So, let’s dive deeper into how Shyam Singha Roy merges South Indian filmmaking finesse with Bengali literary grandeur.

A Tale of Two Worlds

The story of Shyam Singha Roy alternates between two timelines, set in the present day and the 1960s. In the contemporary setting, Vasu, an aspiring filmmaker, struggles to make a name for himself. But when his script unexpectedly thrusts him into a legal battle, it unravels the life of Shyam Singha Roy, a revolutionary Bengali writer from decades ago.

“Lilo & Stitch”, the animated 2022 film has been adapted into a live-action feature, releasing May 23, 2025 in theaters:

“…the original film tells the story of two individuals: an orphaned Hawaiian girl named ‘Lilo Pelekai’, who is raised by her struggling older sister, ‘Nani’, after their parents' deaths…

“…and the genetically engineered extraterrestrial creature ‘Experiment 626’, who Lilo adopts as her ‘dog’ and renames ‘Stitch’…

“Stitch, designed to cause chaos and destruction, initially uses Lilo to avoid recapture by an ‘intergalactic federation’.

“They develop a close bond through the Hawaiian concept of ‘Ohana’, or extended family, causing Stitch to reconsider…

“…his intended destructive purpose in order to keep his newfound family together…”

Barroz 3D Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Mohanlal, Maya Rao West, Pranav Mohanlal, Nerea Camacho, Ignacio Mateos, Kallirroi Tziafeta

Director: Mohanlal

Barroz Movie Review Out (Photo Credit – Instagram)

What’s Good: The film is visually captivating, with 3D effects and CGI that are both realistic and convincing, particularly for an Indian production and even more so for a South Indian film. The animated elements, such as the underwater sequences, are also well-executed and impressive.

What’s Bad: The film suffers from a weak script and an unnecessarily long runtime, with a highly predictable and overly simplistic plot. It also struggles with an identity crisis, unable to decide whether it wants to be a musical, a comedy, or an action film.

Loo Break: The film features several poorly executed songs, making them ideal moments to take a break if needed.

Watch or Not?: The film is primarily designed for children and families with kids,...

Did they cast a senior Bollywood actress to play Nani’s mother? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sonal Kulkarni is well known for her role in the films Dil Chahta Hai, Mission Kashmir, and now Love Sitara. The actress is actively working on Ott and was last seen in the web series Manvat Murders.

As per the latest reports, Sonali will be seen playing a pivotal role in Nani and Srikanth Odela’s upcoming film titled The Paradise. The film is produced by Sudha Cherukuri and is bankrolled under Slv Cinemas.

The actress was in Hyderabad in October for a look test to play Nani’s mother on screen and has been finalized as well. A source from inside said, “We have looked at many yesteryear heroines as well. But when we saw Sonali Kulkarni garu, we felt like she was a new face to the audience in the south and would be making an impact.

Disney is renewing nostalgia with its new marketing campaign for the upcoming live-action rendition of “Lilo & Stitch.” This campaign resembles the promotional strategies utilized for the original 2002 animated film.

The company just produced a funny teaser parodying another Disney classic, “The Lion King.” In the video, the mischievous alien Stitch tries to replicate the legendary scene where Simba is introduced to the animal kingdom. Stitch, dressed in pool floaties, is raised aloft in a lighthearted twist on the iconic Pride Rock moment. He swiftly escapes and jumps into the ocean below. This playful approach is reminiscent of the original film’s marketing campaign, which included similar spoofs.

The live-action rendition, set to open in theaters on May 23, 2025, will feature new and familiar faces. Maia Kealoha will debut as Lilo, with original voice actor Chris Sanders returning. Tia Carrere and Amy Hill will also reprise their roles in new capacities.

“Lilo & Stitch”, the animated 2022 film is being adapted into a live-action feature, releasing May 23, 2025 in theaters:

“…the original film tells the story of two individuals: an orphaned Hawaiian girl named ‘Lilo Pelekai’, who is raised by her struggling older sister, ‘Nani’, after their parents' deaths…

Lilo and Stitch is the latest in the long line of Disney IP to get the live-action treatment, much to the chagrin of many. However, that might change once audiences see the first footage of Stitch in action.

Stitch is one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in Disney's roster. Next to characters like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse, Stitch is probably one of the most marketable figures under the company's banner. If there's one thing the live-action remake could absolutely, positively, not get wrong, it was Stitch himself. Did they deliver?

Something Looks Familiar

Long live the...King?...

Disney has found redemption among its fans as the first look at the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake hits social media. After the studio’s recent bad investments with Rachel Zegler’s Snow White remake and its Marvel subsidiaries, Disney had almost lost all favor with the crowd.

However, with the arrival of Lilo & Stitch, the rift between the studio and its fans has somewhat begun to heal. Although not much is known about the live-action remake apart from its recently released first-look poster, the collective opinion of the fans has already been favorable – and as such, a definitive win for Disney.

From Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Karam and Prabhas’ Kalki to Jr. Ntr’s Devara and the much-awaited lag (2023)-the end of the year Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule—Tollywood has not only flaunted its stars but also impressed with the quality of storytelling.

Beating the hit ratio of the previous year, a broader spectrum of films, including big-budget flicks and sleeper hits, were popular during 2024.

Allu Arjun turned the new pan-India star with Pushpa in 2021. But what if we tell you that his fate would have been something else if the original cast of the film had not rejected it? Yes, you read that right. Sukumar planned an entirely different cast for the film that could not happen for some or the other reason!

Mahesh Babu – The Og Pushpa!

Reports suggest that Mahesh Babu was Pushpa’s original choice. In fact, he even agreed to the film. Later, the Telugu superstar walked out of it due to creative differences.

Currently, an old tweet by Mahesh Babu has resurfaced, and fans are linking it to Pushpa. The tweet from 2019 says, “Due to creative differences, my film with Sukumar is not happening. I wish him all the best on the announcement of his new project.

Continuing down the path of live-action remakes of beloved classics, Disney has released the first teaser trailer for Lilo & Stitch. The upcoming film is a live-action reimagining of Disney's 2002 animated classic about a Hawaiian girl and fugitive alien who helps to mend her broken family.

Disney's live-action reimaginings of beloved animated classics are often met with mixed response, and almost always fail to live up to the original source material. The teaser trailer doesn't really offer us much so I can't really say how I feel about it one way or another. What it does give us is our first official look at "live-action" Stitch, the titular fugitive alien.

And while it's referred to as "live-action," it's really a CG-animated version of Stitch for obvious reasons. I mean, I guess he looks fine? They certainly did a good job mirroring his personality from the original movie as he wreaks havoc...

Live-action Lilo & Stitch star Maia Kealoha explains how she acted opposite a CGI Stich in the upcoming Disney film. Serving as a remake of the 2002 animated movie of the same name, Lilo & Stitch tells the story of the bond that forms between a young Hawaiian girl named Lilo (Kealoha) and a mischievous alien creature hiding out on Earth from the aliens pursuing him. Chris Sanders returns to Voice Stitch after voicing the character in the original, with the rest of the cast including Sydney Agudong, Hannah Waddingham, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Magnussen, and Tia Carrere.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly at the Moana 2 world premiere in Hawaii, Kealoha speaks about how she handled acting against a CGI Stitch in Lilo & Stitch. According to the young actor, being able to use her imagination on set was crucial. Check out her adorable comment below:
