Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Prime Video goes Kuberaa way, sets new condition over release of Pawan Kalyan's film
All eyes are on Pawan Kalyan's next big film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which has been witnessing consecutive delays over its theatrical release. While the makers had finally settled on June 12, 2025, for making its way on big screens, it seems another delay is imminent. According to strong reports, it is believed that the action film will likely be released sometime during July. Amid all the buzz, the film is now facing certain conditions levied by the OTT platform. Prime Video enforces condition for timely release of HHVM As per a Telugu Cinema report, Prime Video has now set a new condition on the makers of Hari Hara Veera Mallu after bagging the post-theatrical OTT deal with them. Accordingly, they have now set a new condition for the producer of the Pawan Kalyan starrer, forcing them to release the film by the end of July, as per their agreement. If not adhered to, it would directly risk the deal signed between the makers and the OTT platform, or worse, a deduction may be expected from the same. This has served as an ultimatum, as Prime Video has already been quite flexible in rescheduling the release date for this film twice before, initially for May 9 and then for June 12. As a result, the producer will be announcing a new release date soon. Prime Video dictated similar conditions for Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa The news about Prime Video enforcing strict timelines for the scheduled release of a film comes twice in a row after something similar was advised for another Telugu movie in the pipeline, Kuberaa. The producer of the Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna starrer recently revealed that the streaming platform has threatened to deduct Rs. 10 crores from the previously signed deal with them. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is touted to be a two-parter saga directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. Besides Pawan Kalyan in the lead, the film also stars Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Satyaraj, and others.

Meet Jayasudha, Amitabh Bachchan's onscreen wife from the iconic 'Sooryavansham'- Lesser known facts about the actress
We've all seen Sooryavansham — the iconic film that dominated our TV screens for years, almost becoming a part of our daily lives. Even without naming it, the story of a strict father, a quiet son, and a love that spoke volumes in silence is etched in our memories forever. While Amitabh Bachchan 's towering performance remains unforgettable, how many of us truly know about the woman who played his devoted on-screen wife? Meet Jayasudha — the lesser-known but equally fascinating chapter of this cinematic legend. A superstar in the South, Jayasudha's portrayal in Sooryavansham still resonates with audiences. Yet, her real-life story has often made more headlines than her filmography. From her early days as a teenage debutante to becoming a leading figure in Tamil and Telugu cinema, Jayasudha's journey has been anything but ordinary. Her personal life, however, has been a rollercoaster that the media couldn't stop tracking. Jayasudha's first marriage in 1982 to film producer Vadde Ramesh ended swiftly in divorce. She later found love with Nitin Kapoor, brother of Bollywood star Jitendra, and married him in 1985. The couple built a life together, raising two sons who eventually followed their parents into the film industry. Tragedy struck in 2017 when Nitin Kapoor reportedly died by suicide, after a battle with depression. Left to raise her sons alone, Jayasudha showed remarkable strength in navigating life's harsh turns. Years later, her name once again lit up the gossip columns when reports of a third marriage at the age of 62 surfaced, allegedly to an NRI. But Jayasudha was quick to set the record straight. The man frequently seen with her, she clarified, is a filmmaker keen on producing her biopic — not her husband, as widely speculated. While often compared to contemporaries like Sridevi and Jaya Prada for her grace and pan-South appeal, Jayasudha has always stood apart. Her versatile performances, spanning decades and languages, have cemented her as a true cinema icon — even if her off-screen life has sometimes stolen the spotlight. Behind the Sooryavansham wife lies a woman of resilience, grace, and quiet stardom — a story still unfolding, and one that certainly deserves to be told.

When a superstar's bold turn for billboard on busy street led to 40 accidents, cops had it removed, but film bombed
In 2010, director Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi aka Krish was working on an anthology film with some of the leading actors of the Telugu industry. The experimental film, titled Vedam, focussed on five people in Hyderabad, whose lives intersect at one hospital after a terror attack. While the film was a serious slice-of-life drama, during the promotions, the film's team highlighted the female lead in seductive poses on promotional material. One of them got so much mileage that it caused countless traffic accidents. Vedam stars Allu Arjun, Manchu Manoj, Anushka Shetty, and Manoj Bajpayee. Anushka, one of the leading female stars in Telugu cinema at the time, played a sex worker in the film. The promotional material used pictures of her from a photoshoot she did in a yellow saree, in rather suggestive and seductive poses. One of these was used on a giant billboard on a busy street in Hyderabad. Recalling the promotions recently in an interview with 123Telugu, director Krish said, 'As part of the film's promotions, we had unveiled a giant hoarding featuring Anushka in a seductive pose. The hoarding became such a rage that it caused more than 40 accidents at the Punjagutta Circle.' Eventually, after the local traffic police received multiple complaints about the 'bold' poster, the film's team was forced to take it down. 'We had to remove the hoarding after several police complaints were filed. That was the kind of massive impact Anushka had made with her character,' Krish added. Vedam was released on 4 June 2010 to largely positive reviews. The film garnered acclaim from the critics, but very little love from the masses. It earned just ₹10 crore in its opening weekend, and by the end of its run, was unable to recover its costs. However, it later won five Filmfare Awards and 2 Nandi Awards. It even featured in several lists of the best Telugu films of the decade. Despite its commercial failure, over the years, Vedam has solidified its position as a cult classic. Anushka went on to appear in hits like Singam before becoming the first female Telugu star to give a solo blockbuster in Rudhramadevi (2015). The same year, she also appeared as Devasena in the Baahubali series. She will be next seen in Ghaati, which reunites her with Krish. The film is scheduled to release on 11 July.
