I'm totally fine with being an outsider in this industry: Naveen Chandra
Naveen Chandra Actor Naveen Chandra is set to make his big-screen debut in Kannada cinema, starring opposite Kichcha Sudeep in an upcoming action drama where he plays a formidable antagonist. Known for his versatile roles in films like Nenu Local and Aravindha Sametha, the actor calls this project a 'special milestone,' rooted in his Bellary upbringing and lifelong admiration for Sudeep . In a candid chat with Hyderabad Times, he opens up about the debut, his multicultural upbringing, and why powerful stories matter more to him than playing the hero. 'What truly matters is talent, not insider or outsider status' Having built his career without industry backing, Naveen Chandra says he has never been fazed by his outsider status. 'Ultimately, it's the audience who decides. You can't cheat the camera, it captures everything. If you perform with honesty and engage the audience, that's what matters. Insider or outsider, talent is the only thing that counts,' he asserts. Looking ahead, Naveen is gearing up for his Kannada debut opposite Kichcha Sudeep, where he plays a powerful antagonist. 'It's an intense role that demands physical and emotional preparation,' he says, adding, 'I don't choose films based on whether I'm the hero or villain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Angelina Jolie's Son Used To Be Adorable, Now He Looks Insane Undo If a story is strong and my character adds depth to it, that's what excites me as an actor.' Naveen Chandra with Sudeep 'Hyderabad became my second home' For Naveen Chandra, Hyderabad has always been more than just a city he works in. 'My mother's roots are in Secunderabad, so many of my summers, Dasaras, and Christmases were spent here. I have fond memories of watching movies with relatives, wandering by Hussain Sagar Lake, and soaking in the city's vibe. Growing up with those experiences gave me a sense of belonging, and when I eventually started working here, adapting to Hyderabad felt natural,' he recalls. Naveen Chandra 'I've always had a deep appreciation for multiculturalism' The actor credits his upbringing for shaping his love for languages and diverse cultures. 'At home, we spoke Tamil because it's my mother tongue, but I also learned Telugu thanks to my mother's side of the family. I picked up Kannada from my father's base in Bangalore and later Malayalam after marrying my wife. This multilingual, multicultural environment is a huge part of who I am. It's helped me connect with people and stories from different backgrounds, which I think is an asset as an actor,' he says. – Divya Shree

Prabhas Confirms More Projects With Hombale Films: 'We Are Planning For...'
Prabhas will be next seen in The Raja Saab. He also has director Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji, in his kitty Prabhas is one of the most bankable actors in the industry. He has many films, including Spirit, Salaar 2, and Fauji in his kitty. However, recently Prabhas opened up about his association with the production house Hombale Films. He described the bond as deeply personal and also hinted at many other films. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Telugu superstar Prabhas confirmed about more films with Hombale Films. Describing the relationship as 'like a family," Prabhas confirmed, 'We are planning for more films together," hinting at new ventures beyond their current agreements. Prabhas will be next seen in The Raja Saab. The romantic horror comedy directed by Maruthi is releasing on December 5, 2025. This film is being positioned as a lighter outing, showcasing the actor in a fun and entertaining avatar that contrasts with his recent intense roles. He also has an upcoming project with director Hanu Raghavapudi, tentatively titled Fauji, which is believed to revolve around themes of patriotism and drama, though details remain tightly guarded. Beside this, actor Prabhas is gearing up for what is touted to be one of the most ambitious collaborations of his career with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga in their upcoming film Spirit. Ever since the announcement, the project has generated a buzz across fan circles, with many speculating about its scale, emotional depth, and the actor's transformation for the role. Now, the wait for a major update is over. At a recent event in the United States, Sandeep's brother, Pranay Reddy Vanga, confirmed that the film will officially go on floors in September 2025. Spirit marks the first collaboration between the Baahubali star and the Kabir Singh director, and expectations are already sky-high. According to earlier reports, Sandeep had specifically requested Prabhas to allot bulk dates for the film, as the role will require a complete physical and stylistic overhaul. This level of transformation would make it difficult for the actor to shoot for other films concurrently, prompting Prabhas to wrap up his existing commitments before fully immersing himself into the world of Spirit. Sources close to the project indicate that the makers plan to shoot the film in a single, focused schedule to preserve narrative continuity and character integrity.
