Nagarjuna's 35-year fitness journey: Intermittent fasting, not skipping meals; and more
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) At 65, Nagarjuna Akkineni continues to defy age with his sculpted physique, glowing skin, and infectious energy. But the Telugu superstar's fitness isn't built on fads, it's grounded in a consistent, 35-year-long commitment to wellness. Whether it's a busy shoot day or a relaxed morning, Nagarjuna never skips his workout. His fitness mix includes strength training, cardio, swimming, and long walks. Even if he can't hit the gym, he finds a way to move which is a habit he developed as a teen and stayed loyal to. 'It's not about doing more, it's about doing it consistently,' he told Hindustan Times. For those wondering how he manages to stay motivated, Nagarjuna swears by one thing: put fitness before everything else. Early dinners, gut health & the power of simplicity Contrary to the belief that he skips meals, Nagarjuna clarified in a chat with MM Keeravani, that he eats dinner daily, just earlier than most. His plate usually includes salads, rice, chicken, and fish. As we all know, it is a balanced and nourishing meal. Isha recalls being slapped 14 times by Nagarjuna in 'Chandralekha' to perfect her method performance His 12:12 intermittent fasting method involves a 12-hour eating window followed by a 12-hour fast. He starts his day with natural probiotics like kimchi or sauerkraut, followed by warm water and black coffee. A lifestyle that ages gracefully with you What sets Nagarjuna apart is his belief in simplicity and routine. No crash diets, no intense food restrictions, no chasing instant results. The method the 'Kuberaa' actor adopts is deeply human and encourages balance over burnout. Work front On the professional front, Nagarjuna Akkineni was recently seen in the Dhanush starrer thriller film 'Kuberaa'. The movie was directed by Sekhar Kammula and received decent reviews from the audiences. Up next, Nagarjuna has the most awaited upcoming film 'Coolie' starring Rajinikanth in the lead and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

According to fresh reports, the much-anticipated entertainer might be postponed once again. The latest buzz suggests that the film is now being planned for a Sankranthi 2026 release, with January 9, 2026, emerging as the tentative date. An official confirmation is still awaited. According to the 123 Telugu report, it suggests that the big-ticket entertainer might be postponed once again. The Raja Saab will now open in cinemas during Sankranthi 2026, on January 9, 2026. However, no official confirmation has still made in this regard. The movie was originally supposed to hit theatres in April 2025 but got delayed, sparking rumours that the makers were eyeing a festive release instead. On June 3, the makers officially locked in the new release date, December 5. But looks like it will once again get postponed. The film is a horror comedy that tells the story of a carefree young man who attempts to make a quick fortune by flipping his ancestral mansion—only to discover a terrifying secret lurking within. Recently, Prabhas shared the first regal look of Sanjay Dutt. 'Wishing the ever-inspiring Sanjay Dutt sir a very happy birthday! Grateful to share the screen with you in #TheRajaSaab." In no time, it went viral among fans. Joining Prabhas in this supernatural entertainer are Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhi Kumar, who play key roles. 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.

Amid this report came in that Prabhas's Spirit shoot will get delayed. He has substantial work pending on his ongoing projects. His period drama, tentatively titled PrabhasHanu and helmed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is unlikely to be completed by September.

Rashmika Mandanna: Most days, I'm all about clean skin
Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna, who has been crowned as the national crush, said that she usually prefers a natural, minimal make-up look but enjoys going all out with glam when she wants to feel powerful. Asked if she is more of a no-make-up girl, or does she enjoy going all out with glam looks, Rashmika told IANS: 'Most days, I'm all about clean skin or no makeup, a bit of tint on the lips and cheeks, and just letting my skin breathe.. Makeup is like fragrance; it's a form of expression.' She embraces both going natural and looking glam. 'Some days you want to feel like your raw, natural self. Other days, you want to feel powerful and elevated. I think it's beautiful to embrace both sides,' said the actress, who is the founder of Dear Diary. Talking about her signature scent besides her own label, Rashmika said: 'Honestly, each of the Dear Diary fragrances feels like a different side of me but Irreplaceable is closest to who I am today. It's a scent that reminds me to be my most authentic self, to show up fully and honestly, even on the tough days.' The actress said that outside her own line, she has 'always loved warm, slightly floral scents.' 'Something with a bit of vanilla, some spice, maybe a whisper of something fresh like lychee or bergamot. I love when a scent makes you feel something deeply, without overpowering your presence.' On the big screen front, Rashmika, who was last seen in the action crime drama film directed by Sekhar Kammula titled 'Kuberaa', will next be seen in 'Thama' starring Ayushmann Khurrana. In 'Kuberaa', the actress stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dhanush, Jim Sarbh and Dalip Tahil. Talking about 'Thama', the film is said to be a gripping love story set against a bloody backdrop, 'Thama' tells the tale of a determined historian who immerses himself in ancient manuscripts, uncovering dark secrets about local vampire myths as supernatural forces begin to stir. Made under the direction of 'Muniya' fame Aditya Sarpotdar, the project marks Rashmika and Ayushmann's primary collaboration with the filmmaker. Backed by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the story of 'Thama' has been provided by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Fulara.
