‘Sundarakanda' Rap trailer launched
Nara Rohith's milestone 20th film 'Sundarakanda', directed by debutant Venkatesh Nimmalapudi and produced by Santhosh Chinnapolla, Gowtham Reddy, and Rakesh Mahankalli under the banner of Sandeep Picture Palace (SPP), is set for release on August 27th. The teaser and songs have generated massive buzz, and with the theatrical release just around the corner, the makers have now unveiled a rap trailer that reinforces the film's promise of fun, freshness, and feel-good entertainment. Rebel Star Prabhas had the honour of launching the trailer.
The story follows a middle-aged bachelor on a determined quest to find a life partner who perfectly matches his five must-have qualities. His journey unfolds through two love stories—one from his college days and another in the present—while the trailer captures this romantic tug-of-war with a blend of humour and heart.
The rap-infused trailer offers a refreshing twist, highlighting the film's light-hearted spirit while showcasing Nara Rohith's impeccable comic timing. He is joined by a hilarious ensemble cast featuring Naresh, Satya, VTV Ganesh, and Abhinav Gomatam, each adding ample laughter and chaos. The writing is crisp, with director Venkatesh striking a smart balance between situational comedy and emotional beats.
Pradeep M. Varma's cinematography brings vibrancy to the screen, while Leon James's music—particularly the rap background score—delivers a distinctive soundscape. The production design is solid, with Rajesh Pentakota as art director and Sundeep as executive producer.
On the whole, the rap trailer looks promising and sets the bar high for the movie's arrival in just under two weeks.

Prabhas' The Raja Saab Producers Clarify Worker Dues Amid Legal Trouble: 'The Delay Occurred Due To…'
Last Updated: People Media Factory says Rs 1 crore is still due to Prabhas' The Raja Saab workers and will be paid directly to their bank accounts. Prabhas Movie The Raja Saab: People Media Factory (PMF) has issued a statement clarifying worker payment issues on the Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab. The production house confirmed that approximately Rs 60 crore has been paid to daily wage workers over the past year, with around Rs 1 crore still pending from schedules in July. PMF addressed comments made by outsiders in a statement. 'People Media Factory has disbursed approximately Rs 60 crores over the past 12 months towards daily wage workers engaged in BTL/production activities. In addition, around Rs 1 crore remains payable in relation to schedules worked during July. This amount of Rs 60 crore does not include monthly contract associates who are on monthly remuneration across various crafts, which accounts for an additional Rs 30 crores. These contract associates' payments are fully current. Furthermore, this figure excludes the remunerations of key technicians, artists, vendors, VFX teams, and location-related expenses," the statement read. It continued, 'It is therefore both inaccurate and inappropriate for unrelated individuals or self-proclaimed federation/union leaders to make public statements regarding internal company payments. People Media Factory has no agreements or financial obligations with any federations/unions and consequently holds no dues to them." PMF confirmed that the remaining Rs 1 crore will be paid directly into workers' bank accounts this week. 'The delay has occurred due to the unavailability of workers over the past two weeks, due to the sudden strike, and as the next schedule did not commence. Taking into consideration the difficulties being faced by our persons who have worked for us, we have decided to make exception to the policy and make the payments this week," PMF said. The production house also introduced a new system to prevent delays. 'To ensure greater transparency and to eliminate past malpractices of routing payments through representatives, all payments will henceforth be made directly to workers into their bank accounts. PMF will not release funds to intermediaries under any circumstance," the note added. How Workers Can Claim Dues Workers from the July schedule are requested to submit accurate bank details and complete the enrolment process. Payments will be disbursed within the same week after verification by Executive Producers. PMF expressed appreciation for cooperation and promised a smooth resumption of work. Legal Trouble Behind the Scenes The Raja Saab recently faced a legal complaint from Ivy Entertainment in Delhi High Court. The production company was accused of contractual breaches, including failing to complete and release the film on time, providing production updates, and disclosing fund utilisation. The Raja Saab is touted to be a horror-comedy, marking a genre break for Prabhas after having featured in action or fantasy dramas in the past few years. The film features a Haveli that's unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema. This grand set, spanning 41,256 sq ft, is officially the largest horror set ever constructed in India.

It added that "around ₹1 crore remains payable." It criticised "unrelated individuals" for making public statements regarding internal company payments.

People Media Factory acknowledges pending payments to workers PMF also slammed self-proclaimed federation/union leaders.

The caption read, 'People Media Factory has disbursed ₹60 Cr+ towards daily wage workers in the last 12 months. We stand by every worker and ensure their hard work is rewarded with dignity.' Why PMF landed in legal trouble Last week, The Economic Times reported that Ivy Entertainment filed a case in the Delhi High Court against PMF over alleged contractual breaches in the film's production. The report stated, 'PMF failed to meet critical obligations including completing and releasing the film on time, providing monthly production updates, disclosing fund utilisation, delivering agreed materials relating to the film and delaying the theatrical release multiple times."

The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar in prominent roles. The movie is set to have a pan-India release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Eco-friendly Ganeshas presented to devotees
Hyderabad: As a symbol of tradition and environmental conservation, former Rajya Sabha MP and Green India Challenge (GIC) founder Joginapally Santosh Kumar, along with Telugu actor-producer Nara Rohith, unveiled eco-friendly Seed Ganesha idols as part of the promotions for the upcoming movie Sundarakanda. At Swarna Giri Temple, Santosh Kumar presented the idols to devotees and temple staff, extending his wishes for the success of Sundarakanda. With Ganesh Chaturthi around the corner, they will distribute 5,000 Seed Ganesha idols free of charge to children, families, and visitors. Corporates, community leaders, and individuals are also invited to join this green celebration. Crafted from natural clay, cocopeat, and coco powder, each idol is embedded with seeds of native trees like neem and tamarind. After the rituals, the idols can be immersed in soil, allowing the seeds to sprout into saplings that can later be transplanted into homes, parks, and public spaces—creating lasting green legacies.
