Telugu star Nithiin is anticipating a stronger response from his next film, Thammudu, after his last movie, Robinhood, met with a disappointing mark at the box office. Directed by Sriram Venu, the first few glimpses have promised unmatched action on-screen, along with some promising sequences of entertainment. Here's everything you need to know about the movie ahead of its release.
Thammudu release date and full star cast
Thammudu is all set to make its way to the big screens on July 4. The film is hyped to be a trailblazing actioner and is expected to open big at the box office.
Coming to the star cast, besides Nithiin in the lead, the movie also stars Sapthami Gowda, Laya, Varsha Bollamma, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swasika, Hari Teja, Srikanth Iyyenger, Temper Vamshi and more.
It is directed by Sriram Venu and is produced by Dil Raju jointly along with Sireesh and Ravi Surneddi. B. Ajaneesh Loknath has composed the musical score.
Thammudu runtime and CBFC certification
As per IMDb, Thammudu has a runtime of 2 hours and 12 minutes. Recently, the makers confirmed that the film had been screened by the CBFC and was awarded an A certificate ahead of theatrical release.
It implies that the movie is restricted to be watched by adult audiences only since it contains mature themes, content and language. Thus, it is deemed unsuitable for viewers under the age of 18.
Thammudu post-theatrical OTT release
Well, speaking of the post-theatrical OTT rights of the movie, the makers have joined forces with Amazon Prime Video for Thammudu's debut on the online platform.
Meanwhile, reports have suggested that the Nithiin starrer will only release on OTT after completing 4 weeks in theaters if the film is successful at the box office. If not, it might be released on OTT even sooner.
Thammudu plot
The storyline of Thammudu is said to be set against the village of Ambaragodugu, which is under the terror of a powerful force which keeps them from stepping out of their homes.
As innocent villagers fear the wrath if they step out of their homes, a spirited and fearless woman named Kantara empowers everyone to break free from the clutches of this force.
On the other hand, the protagonist of the film, played by Nithiin, is also shown reaching the village for the same reason, as he stands to fulfill the unfinished task of his sister, who too wanted to free the villagers.

Film industry protests CBFC decision on Janaki vs State of Kerala
T'puram: The Malayalam film industry on Monday staged a protest against Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over its reported decision to withhold clearance for the feature film, Janaki vs State of Kerala. The decision was allegedly because the title character's name, Janaki, is also the name of a Hindu goddess. The film, which stars Union minister and actor Suresh Gopi in the lead role, encountered a censorship hurdle after CBFC apparently asked the makers to alter the name of the protagonist. The move triggered widespread criticism from within the film fraternity, who allege political and religious interference in creative expression. In response, a protest march was organised to the regional CBFC office in Thiruvananthapuram, led by a joint action committee of filmmakers, producers, actors and technicians. A symbolic inauguration of the protest was held in front of the CBFC office, where film workers threw scissors —representing censorship—into a trash bin with the slogan: "Start, camera, action, no cut." The protest saw participation from several industry bodies and prominent figures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Representing the producers' association, producer Ranjith joined the protest and criticised the censorship decision. From the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), actor Jayan Cherthala took part and questioned the logic behind asking for a name change after the film's posters were already released. He alleged that the decision reflected the personal interests of a few individuals. Veteran actor Poojappura Radhakrishnan, representing the group ATMA, remarked that such interventions in names amounted to erasing one's identity. Actor Indrans also expressed solidarity with the movement. The protest reflects a growing concern among filmmakers and artists over what they see as increasing moral and ideological policing in cinema. Many view the current row over Janaki vs State of Kerala, as part of a broader pattern of censorship being influenced by religious sensitivities and political pressure. The film's certification remains pending and the makers are yet to receive a clear directive from the CBFC.

Journalism stalwart Dasu Krishnamoorty turns 100 on July 1
Dasu Krishnamoorty, a journalism veteran with a career spanning 70 years, will turn 100 on Tuesday. Hailing from a family of journalists, Krishnamoorty was part of the first journalism batch at Osmania University under Prof. De Forest O'Dell in 1954–55, where he graduated at the top of his class. During his internship at The Times of India, he earned praise from legendary editor Frank Moraes. He began his career at The Sentinel, The Deccan Chronicle and The Daily News, before joining The Indian Express as chief sub-editor. There, he played a key role in launching its Vijayawada edition in 1959. After a brief stint with The Times of India in Ahmedabad, he moved to New Delhi in 1969 and worked with Patriot for nearly two decades. In Delhi's journalistic circles, he was celebrated as a 'Deskman Extraordinaire' for his exceptional page layout skills. After retiring from active journalism, Krishnamoorty continued to share his knowledge as an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi. He later taught at the University of Hyderabad, Osmania University, Andhra Pradesh Open University and Bhavan's College of Journalism, while continuing to write on media affairs. In 2001, at the age of 75, he moved to the United States and shifted focus to writing. Along with his daughter, Tamraparni Dasu, he founded 'India Writes', an initiative aimed at promoting Telugu short story writers globally by translating their works into English. Krishnamoorty has published three anthologies: Santoshabad Passenger 1947 and Other Stories (2010), The Seaside Bride and Other Stories (2019) and Ten Greatest Telugu Stories Ever Told (2022). He is currently working on his autobiography. Remarkably active for his age, he remains in good health, spends several hours a day at his computer and retains a phenomenal memory. Just a few months ago, he mesmerised the current batch of Osmania University journalism students through a video conference. A 1954–55 alumnus addressing the 2024–25 cohort was a moment steeped in history and inspiration. The students honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
