When it comes to turning heads, Tamannaah Bhatia doesn't even have to try. She walks in and all eyes immediately turn towards her. The actress, known for her great fashion choices, was recently seen at an event and as expected, she made quite an impression. The moment she arrived, cameras were already waiting for her. The paparazzi couldn't get enough as she stepped with a sweet smile and posed for pictures.
Now, let's talk about what she wore. Tamannaah chose a fitted knee-length dress with strapless design that showed off her figure beautifully. To complete the look, she threw on a black and white striped blazer which took her outfit to next level. For accessories, she carried a sparkling purse, a sleek necklace and a couple of rings. Her makeup was on-point and her hair was left open in soft waves that framed her face perfectly. All in all, she looked nothing short of a vision.
After giving photographers enough poses, the actress gently nodded in thanks before walking inside the building.
Take a look at the video here:
On the work front, Tamannaah is currently seen in the Tamil film Odela 2 where she plays the role of a Naga Sadhu. The movie is directed by Ashok Teja and is a sequel to Odela Railway Station which was earlier released on OTT. Odela 2 hit the theatres on April 17. Along with Tamannaah, the film also stars Hebah Patel and Vasishta N. Simha in key roles.
Up next, Tamannaah will be teaming up with John Abraham once again. The two were earlier seen together in the action thriller Vedaa. This time, they will come together for a biographical drama directed by Rohit Shetty.
The film is based on the life of Rakesh Maria, a former Mumbai Police Commissioner. Tamannaah will be seen playing his wife, Preeti Maria, in the movie. It will follow his journey and rise in the police force. John will be seen playing Rakesh Maria. The film is said to be inspired by Maria's autobiography Let Me Say It Now. His career in the Mumbai Police lasted 36 years and he handled many big cases like the 1993 Mumbai blasts and the 26/11 terror attacks.
Apart from this, Tamannaah is also set to reunite with Ajay Devgn after more than a decade. The two were last seen together in Himmatwala which came out in 2013. The upcoming film will also reportedly feature Sanjay Dutt in an important role.

Lakshmi Manchu on 50 years of Rajinikanth: ‘One should pray for the kind of friendship he has with my dad Mohan Babu'

Lakshmi Manchu has 'so many memories' with Rajinikanth, or Rajini uncle as she calls him, that she doesn't know where to begin. The actor has known the Tamil superstar all her life, thanks to his decades-long friendship with her father, actor Mohan Babu. And now that the superstar is completing 50 years in cinema on 15 August, Lakshmi talks about getting a front-row seat to his success in a chat with Hindustan Times. Rajinikanth and Mohan Babu have been friends since before they became actors, says Lakshmi Manchu. Growing up, for Lakshmi, Rajinikanth was her dad's best friend, who was present at her and her brothers, Vishnu Manchu and Manchu Manoj's, birthday parties. 'He was our Rajini uncle, whom we loved because our dad would turn into a child around him…he still does. He just adored us, and we loved him for that. But as we got older, we realised what an incredible and magnanimous human being he is,' she says. Rajinikanth's decades-long friendship with Mohan Babu Lakshmi says Mohan Babu and Rajinikanth have a way of letting loose whenever they meet. 'They still turn into children and prank each other when they meet. It's a beautiful friendship that has lasted over 50 years because they were friends even before they were actors,' she adds. But it's not just fun and games between these two because they have also stood by each other through thick and thin. 'I know uncle has shown up for my dad when things weren't going the way my dad wanted to, and vice versa. They have been together through so much; one should wish and pray for a friendship like that where you're there for each other whenever,' says Lakshmi. Rajinikanth and Mohan Babu have been there for each other through thick and thin. In fact, Lakshmi remembers that when Mohan Babu was making the Telugu film Peddarayudu (1995), Rajinikanth agreed to a cameo in it as Paparayudu based on nothing but friendship. 'Uncle did not have to do that movie or play such a small role just to add value. But he didn't look at how it would benefit him,' she explains. What's more, Rajinikanth even wrote the story of Rayalaseema Ramanna Chowdary (2000) just for his friend. 'He envisioned it for my dad and wrote the story; that's the kind of friends they are. They have not just contributed to each other's lives but careers too,' says Lakshmi. Lakshmi Manchu on 50 years of Rajinikanth As Rajinikanth completes 50 years in films, Lakshmi feels nothing but pride. 'What a stupendous, long and successful career Rajini uncle has had not only as an actor but as a man of inspiration and aspiration. Many know he's deeply spiritual, but I believe that's what keeps him going; it keeps him grounded and humble despite the superstardom,' she says. And like all Rajinikanth fans, Lakshmi also plans on watching Coolie on the first day, first show in Mumbai. 'I postponed all my daughter's (Vidya Nirvana) classes so I can catch a show for Coolie at 9 AM today. I even learnt the steps to Monica. Thalaivar all the way, baby!' she rounds off with excitement.

War 2 advance box office collection Day 1: Hrithik Roshan and JR NTR starrer eyes HUGE opening despite Coolie clash; ticket sales cross Rs 30 crore

The Independence Day box office clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 and Rajinikanth 's Coolie has set the stage for one of the most high-voltage cinematic face-offs in recent years. Both films, riding massive star power and pan-India appeal, are drawing audiences in the numbers, but early numbers suggest War 2 is facing stiff competition from the Tamil superstar's film. Advance Booking Surge According to early trade estimates on Sacnilk, War 2's all-India advance gross for Day 1 stands at Rs 20.49 crore, with the major share coming from the Hindi and Telugu versions, which together account for Rs 19.29 crore. The film, releasing in multiple premium and standard formats including 2D, IMAX, 4DX, and ICE, has generated Rs 11.59 crore from format-wise bookings alone. When factoring in blocked seats, the advance total jumps to an estimated Rs 32.14 crore. State-by-State Breakdown The War 2 frenzy is particularly intense in the southern markets, thanks to Jr NTR's loyal fanbase. Andhra Pradesh tops the list with a whopping Rs 8.64 crore from advance sales, projected to cross Rs 10 crore with blocked seats included. Telangana follows, clocking Rs 2.61 crore in advance sales and expected to reach Rs 5.03 crore with blocked bookings. In the Hindi belt, Maharashtra contributes Rs 2.1 crore in advance collections, which climbs to Rs 3.29 crore when blocked seats are factored in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Delhi NCR and Karnataka make up the rest of the top five, each pulling in between Rs 1.91–Rs 1.93 crore, and with blocked seats, rising to Rs 2.64–Rs 2.88 crore. The Clash Factor War 2 is not walking into an empty box office market, it's locking horns with Coolie, a film headlined by Rajinikanth that's dominating advance sales across Tamil Nadu and other key territories. While War 2 has put up solid numbers, Coolie is ahead in the race with an all-India advance booking of Rs 36.91 crore, which escalates to Rs 46.13 crore with blocked seats. The contrast is even starker when comparing regional dominance: War 2's total collections across all languages still fall short of Coolie's Tamil version alone, which has amassed an estimated Rs 27.75 crore in advance bookings. Holiday Boost Expected The clash is not dampening footfalls if anything, it's expanding the overall market. Industry trackers note that combined advance bookings for both films have already crossed Rs 80 crore, signalling a record-breaking extended weekend ahead. With August 15 being a public holiday and the weekend stretching until Sunday, footfalls are expected to spike further. The Road Ahead Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War and sees Hrithik Roshan reprise his role as RAW agent Kabir, now squaring off against Jr NTR's elite operative Vikram in a globe-trotting spy battle. The film also features Kiara Advani , Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. With its action-packed narrative, pan-India casting, and premium format availability, War 2 has the arsenal to gain momentum over the weekend. However, the early numbers show that it will need strong word-of-mouth to match Coolie's dominant start.

Coolie and War 2 spark backlash over steep ticket hikes in Telugu states

Rajinikanth's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan - Jr NTR starrer War 2 set for an epic clash on August 14. However the ticket pricing in Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana (TS) has ignited a storm online from Monday. Distributors are awaiting government approval for special hikes that could push multiplex tickets to Rs 300 - Rs 550, significantly higher than in the films' home markets, Rs150 - Rs 200 for Coolie in Tamil Nadu and Rs180 - Rs 250 for War 2 in North India. The gap has triggered sharp reactions across X (formerly Twitter), with many calling the hikes 'exploitative.' @Just_Spidye questioned the policy: 'Why Tamil [films] imposed in Andhra & Telangana? Why giving hikes for Tamil films? This is shame of TFI.' Others, like @ranjithNBK, pointed to audience behaviour, 'For a Tier 1 hero, people will go even with hikes… but for Coolie, it's a risk. If talk is bad, huge drops from day two.' The disparity has also drawn political jabs. @LoveIndia163 asked, '#Coolie in TN – Rs 150- Rs 200, #War2 in North – Rs 180-Rs 250, Telugu States – Rs 300-Rs 550? WTH?' Similar sentiments were echoed by many users and the topic has been trending on X.
