While it is not clear whether the actress implied it was him, a netizen said, 'The place… I think vd's home,' while another person wrote, 'Photo clicked by Vijay Deverakonda.'

The actress is next set to appear in the lead role for the movie Kuberaa. The Dhanush and Nagarjuna Akkineni directorial is a social thriller, directed by Sekhar Kammula, and is slated to release on June 20, 2025.

Last Updated: The film could only earn almost half of its week 1 collection, grossing over Rs 26 crore in week 2. Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was released in India on May 17, six days before it hit the theatres in the US. On Friday, May 30, the eighth and final instalment of the spy action franchise completed its two weeks in the cinemas. While the film opened strong at the Indian box office, raking in over Rs 33 crore during its opening weekend, its momentum has since slowed down. In its first week, The Final Reckoning earned around Rs 54.4 crore. But as the second week began, its collection slowed down. According to Sacnilk, the film could only earn almost half of its week 1 collection. It grossed around Rs 26.75 crore in week 2. On Day 14 alone, i.e., on its second Friday, Cruise's final appearance as the IMF agent Ethan Hunt could collect just Rs 1.75 crore (early estimates) across all languages, with an overall 16.50% English occupancy and 8.91% Hindi occupancy. By the end of week 2, the total earnings of The Final Reckoning in India have reached about Rs 82.90 crore. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the latest spy action thriller continues the story from Dead Reckoning Part One, which was released in 2023. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning also features Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny and Angela Bassett, among others. Before the film's release in India, Cruise and his team attended the Cannes Film Festival for its premiere. At the 78th edition of the festival, the spy actioner received a five-minute-long standing ovation from the Cannes crowd. Recently, the 62-year-old actor took to his Instagram account to talk about his experience of working on the Mission: Impossible films for three decades now. He shared a series of throwback behind-the-scenes photos from each of the Mission: Impossible films. The collection featured some group pictures with his co-stars and him performing his iconic death-defying stunts. In the caption, he wrote, 'Over 30 years ago, I began the journey of producing my first film, Mission: Impossible. Since then, these eight films have taken me on the adventure of a lifetime. To the incredible directors, actors, artists, and crews across the globe that have helped bring these stories to life, I thank you. It has been a privilege to work alongside you all."

Ex-BIGBANG's T.O.P admits past mistakes for first time through ‘failed drug addict' character: ‘I can finally move on with my life'
Ex-BIGBANG member T.O.P, who recently made his comeback to the spotlight with Netflix series Squid Game, may have shattered fans' hopes of a band reunion with his recent interview. The K-pop group went on an indefinite hiatus, having faced several controversies. T.O.P, aka Choi Seung Hyun, was at the peak of his stardom in his 20s and then came a big downfall that ruined his career. Back in 2016, the K-pop idol got embroiled in a drug scandal, and later, in 2017, he pleaded guilty. This led to a 10-month suspended jail sentence. He then eventually left BIGBANG and YG Entertainment. T.O.P hadn't spoken publicly or done interviews for over 11 years. But recently, during promotions for Squid Game 3 in Los Angeles, he decided to break his silence and admitted to his past mistakes for the first time. Also read: Squid Game S3 gets brutal with new poster: A baby born into hell tests how low humanity can sink Bouncing back in the spotlight with Squid Game Season 2 as a character named Thanos, T.O.P signed up for a role that mirrored his own challenges. Thanos is a failed rapper and drug user. His role instantly became a popular choice among Squid Game fans. 'I think Thanos is a character that I had to have a lot of talks with Director Hwang to create,' the rapper said when asked to describe his character at Netflix FYSEE LA. 'We had a lot of talks down to the most minute details of this character. He's not an amazing rapper, he's more like a failed soul, a failed young person who's reliant on drugs. I looked up what happens when someone's addicted to those kinds of strong drugs.' The rapper had earlier called his return to the group 'shameful,' claiming he had hurt the reputation of the members. However, for the first time, he admitted to spiralling into tough times driven by anxiety and mood swings, and he took a chance to include those elements in the character of Thanos. 'I have made my mistakes in the past, and I have to come face to face with those mistakes when I was playing this character. So, I needed to muster up a lot of courage to take on this role,' he said. After his probation ended, T.O.P managed to work with BIGBANG again, but he received backlash and cancellation calls in return. Since 2023, he disappeared from the public eye, only to make a controversial return that proved to be a hit, and now he wants to open a new chapter in his life. 'Director Hwang gave me so much trust that I could have the confidence to play this role. While creating this character, Thanos, I could self-reflect about my past, and I think I can finally move on to a new chapter of my life. I learned a lot from this character,' he added. Also read: Squid Game season 2 review: Netflix's biggest series returns, filled with twists but not as fast-paced as season one Squid Game 2 received major boycott calls in South Korea when the initial casting lineup was announced with T.O.P's name among K-drama stars like Im Si Wan, Park Gyu Young, Kang Ha Neul, Lee Jin Uk, Park Sung Hoon, Yang Dong Geun, Kang Ae Shim, Lee Da Wit, etc. Some debated that he should not be allowed back into the spotlight ever. In 2017, the K-pop idol was convicted of marijuana use, with records suggesting it happened on three occasions. He was also discharged from the military and largely stayed off social media as well. Squid Game director Hwang Dong Hyuk had to later step in to justify his casting, saying, 'The incident happened a long time ago, and the sentence was completed,' adding that he has seen many artists return to the spotlight after such incidents and that it might be an appropriate time for him to return to work.
