Chiranjeevi denies meeting film federation amid Telugu industry strikes, slams ‘baseless' claims
Amid the ongoing tensions in the Telugu film industry, megastar Chiranjeevi has refuted claims of his involvement with the dispute. Chiranjeevi slammed the false information shared by individuals claiming to be members of the Film Federation that he met with the protesting workers and offered assurances over their demands. 'It has come to my attention that some individuals claiming to be the members of the Film Federation have gone to the media falsely claiming that I have met them and given an assurance that their demands regarding a 30 per cent wage hike, etc., shall be met and that I will be starting shooting very soon. I wish to set the record straight that I have not met anyone from the federation. This is an industry issue and no individual, including me, can give any unilateral assurances to solve any problem one way or the other,' the actor wrote on X. He noted that the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce is the apex body of the Telugu film industry, and only the chamber would engage in discussions related to the concerns and arrive at a solution. 'Until such time, making such false claims is unacceptable. I condemn all such baseless and motivated claims to create confusion among all stakeholders. Please note,' Chiranjeevi strongly asserted.

'We have already been paying much higher than the existing minimum wages as per the act to both skilled and unskilled workers. This disruption will cause heavy damage to films in production. Chamber condemns this action taken by Federation as we have worked together with their members for decades,' the directive read.

John Abraham says Malayalam cinema is making the ‘best films', praises Mammootty for playing a ‘gay politician': ‘That industry is brave'
Malayalam cinema is widely known for its realistic, content-driven storytelling, prioritising substance over star power and flashy visuals, a contrast to much of the Indian film industry. Bollywood actor-filmmaker John Abraham too has long admired their work. In an Idea Exchange session hosted by The Indian Express, John spoke about his desire to produce films inspired by Malayalam cinema and revealed that he is a huge fan of superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal. During the conversation, John Abraham shared that he finds the Malayalam film industry 'brave'. 'That industry is very brave. So, I think as of today, the best films in the country come from the Malayalam film industry. If you ask who my favourite actor is, I would say Mohanlal by light years. I love Meryl Streep also,' he said. John expressed his admiration for Mammootty for playing a 'gay politician' in Kaathal – The Core, mentioning that he is a huge fan of the Malayalam superstar. 'You look at Mammootty playing a politician and you find out in the film that he is gay. I mean, it's brave for that man to do a film like that,' he stated. John Abraham wants to produce more films in Malayalam and has even set up a writer's room in Kerala. 'I thought maybe I could borrow from some of their ideas. So, what I did was set up a writer's room in Kerala. Let's generate ideas out of there and see films that could be made nationally or only in Malayalam. I want to produce more Malayalam films because it's the right time, they are fantastic. But, I also want to produce other films,' he shared.
