"She has beaten all of us": Nagarjuna lauds Rashmika Mandanna's recent box office performances
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 10 (ANI): Superstar Nagarjuna lauded Rashmika Mandanna for her recent box office performances at the audio launch of socio-drama film 'Kuberaa' third single 'Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum' in Mumbai on Tuesday. 'Kuberaa' is the upcoming film, which is directed by Sekhar Kammula and stars Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarabh in the lead roles. The makers conducted an audio launch of their third single, 'Pippi Pippi,' which was attended by the film's lead cast. While interacting with the media at the audio launch, superstar Nagarjuna called Rashmika Mandanna a 'powerhouse' of talent while addressing the contribution of the whole cast in the movie. He lauded the recent box office performances of the Mandanna-starrer films and said, 'This girl (Rashmika Mandanna) is one powerhouse of talent. Just see her filmography in the last three years, it is just outstanding. None of us have 2000-3000 crore films. She is the one who has beaten all of us.' In the last two years, Rashmika Mandanna has starred in three blockbuster movies, which include Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal', Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2', and Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava'. She was last seen in Salman Khan's 'Sikandar', which also performed well at the box office. Rashmika is currently being hailed as one of the leading actresses in the film industry.

The 'Pushpa' actress humbly said that she feels she has 'only just begun' and doesn't quite understand the 'race' to be number one. 'I feel like I honestly have just started because I don't know what this whole number one situation is, because we're doing films in the South, we're doing films in Bollywood. So I don't know what this race is about, but I know for sure that I'm just starting,' said Rashmika Mandanna while interacting with the media in Mumbai. 'Kuberaa' is set to release in theatres on June 20. The film, a socio-drama, was shot in both Tamil and Telugu. (ANI)

UP Police ‘Housefull 5' safety post gets high-five from Riteish Deshmukh
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Police's innovative road safety awareness campaign on X went viral thanks to its creative nod to Bollywood film Housefull 5. The post cleverly urged two-wheeler riders to wear helmets by presenting them with a dramatic choice of two endings—much like the dual climaxes of the film. On June 9, 2025, the UP Police shared a visually striking post depicting two contrasting outcomes for the same motorcyclist. In Option 5A, the rider donned a helmet and remained unharmed. In Option 5B, he lay injured, head bandaged—clearly a victim of not wearing a helmet. The tagline read: "Book Your Climax Wisely", with a caption echoing the cinematic theme: "Same cast, different ending. When you're out on the road, remember it's your choice how it ends." The campaign was part of a broader directive from Director General of Police Rajeev Krishna, aimed at enhancing public awareness through social media. Within 24 hours, the post amassed over 1.22 lakh views, 1,100+ likes, and 650 retweets, making it one of UP Police's most engaging safety messages in recent months. Adding to its visibility, Housefull 5 actor Riteish Deshmukh shared the post with a quote tweet, urging, "Be Responsible – Make the right choice. @Uppolice #RoadSafety #Helmet." The post drew inspiration from Housefull 5's unique narrative format, which offered viewers two alternate endings—5A and 5B. This novelty served as the perfect metaphor for the road safety message: just as filmgoers choose which version to watch, riders choose how their journey ends—safely or otherwise.
