Is Allu Arjun and Prashanth Neel's Ravanam based on rebirth of Ravana? Here's what we know
Allu Arjun starrer Ravanam's story revealed?
As per an ongoing buzz shared by cinephile Mohammed Ihsan on X (formerly Twitter), the movie is expected to feature the story of Ravana's rebirth. The bold concept focuses on what happened to the demon king after his death and the transport of his soul.
In a parallel universe, Ravana is reborn as a feared underworld gangster who rules his kingdom from the shadows. However, as of now, this is just a rumor with an official confirmation yet to be made by the makers.
For those unaware, producer Dil Raju recently confirmed that the project will take place under his banner and will begin after the actor and director complete their ongoing projects.
As per his words at the Thammudu pre-release event, the Game Changer producer said, 'Our banner has planned a film titled Ravanam with Allu Arjun as the lead and Prashanth Neel as the director. However, the project will take time as both of them are currently busy with their existing commitments.'
Interestingly, the same project was once rumored to be headlined by Prabhas but has undergone a casting change.
Allu Arjun and Prashanth Neel's work front
Allu Arjun is in the making of his movie AA22xA6, with director Atlee. The film, touted to be of a 'parallel universe' genre, is said to have heavy VFX elements.
Deepika Padukone will be playing one of the lead roles in the film, with a total of 5 different heroines expected to feature in it. This further leads to names of actresses like Janhvi Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur making the headlines.
The much-awaited magnum opus venture is likely to have Allu Arjun in multiple roles, including an animated version.
On the other hand, Prashanth Neel is currently involved in the works of the tentatively titled NTRNEEL (Dragon). The upcoming movie is slated to release on June 25, 2026, with Jr NTR headlining the project.
While more details about its casting are yet to be made by the makers, Sapta Sagaradaache Ello starrer Rukmini Vasanth is likely to play the female lead, with Tovino Thomas rumored to be in a supporting role.

Malaika Arora Hints At Second Marriage; Udaipur Files Producer Blasts Hindu Audience For Film's Failure
Last Updated: Malaika Arora spoke about her marriage plans after divorcing Arbaaz Khan. Udaipur Files producer Amit Jani slammed Hindu audiences after the film's box office failure. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan got married in 1998. Arora was about 25 years old at that time. Four years into their marriage, they welcomed their son Arhaan Khan in 2002. After being married for 18 years, the couple announced their separation in 2016 and finalised their divorce in 2017. While Arbaaz Khan is now remarried to Sshura Khan, is a second marriage on the cards for Malaika as well? In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Malaika mentioned that she is not closed off to the idea of another marriage. Udaipur Files, starring Vijay Raaz, released in theatres on August 8, 2025, but the film has failed to make an impression at the box office. According to trade portal Sacnilk, the movie has managed to collect only ₹1.54 crore so far, and is being labelled a flop.

While much is known about his marriage and separation from Dimple Kapadia in the late 90s, not much is known about his relationship with actress Anita Advani. Anita Advani claims that she married Rajesh Khanna in a secret ceremony and lived with him till his death in 2012. However, since Rajesh and Dimple were only separated and not divorced, the second marriage couldn't have been legal. On India's 79th Independence Day, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to extend his wishes. He shared a message, reminding his followers that freedom was earned through immense sacrifices by numerous freedom fighters, not simply given. A troll reacted to Javed Akhtar's message with a disgraceful comment suggesting he should celebrate Independence Day on August 14 instead. For those unaware, India celebrates its Independence Day on August 15, while Pakistan's is on August 14. Javed Akhtar shut down the troll with a powerful reminder that his ancestors laid down their lives fighting for India's freedom. A proud father, Amitabh Bachchan has showcased his pride in his son Abhishek Bachchan, who was feted with the Best Actor for 'I Want To Talk" at THE Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025, and said that he is the honour of their family.

Does Shah Rukh Khan Throw Tantrums On Sets? His Witty Response Wins The Internet
Shah Rukh Khan humorously dismissed tantrum rumours and updated fans on his shoulder injury. The actor also launched Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan, on Saturday evening, hosted a surprise 'Ask SRK' session on X, leaving fans in a frenzy. There, SRK spoke about his upcoming film King, and also soft-launched his son Aryan Khan's debut directorial series, Ba***ds of Bollywood, slated for release this year. During the question-answer session, SRK was asked if he throws tantrums on sets – a question that often circles big stars. His reply won the Internet. In his signature humorous style, Shah Rukh Khan dismissed the notion outright. 'Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets," he said, before adding a cheeky remark about his upcoming project. 'Now on King, even less — the director is so strict and organised." The superstar's upcoming film is being directed by Pathaan-fame Siddharth Anand. Here is his post: Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets. Now on King even less the director is so too strict and organised. — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 16, 2025 SRK shares big update on King Shah Rukh Khan returned to films in 2023, five years after Zero with Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in 2018. He first starred in Pathaan, then Jawan and Dunki – all in the same year. He is now gearing up for King, which also stars his daughter, Suhana Khan. During his trademark #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked him when his next film would release. In his witty yet candid response, SRK wrote, 'Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots then move to upper body… Insha Allah will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish." For the unversed, King shoot is halted briefly owing to his recent shoulder injury. SRK injured on King sets Shah Rukh Khan's highly-awaited King faced a setback after the superstar injured his shoulder while shooting an intense sequence at Mumbai's Golden Tobacco Studio, according to a Mid-Day report. Though the injury isn't life-threatening, SRK has flown to the US for precautionary treatment, where doctors have advised him to rest for at least a month. As a result, production schedules planned at Film City, Golden Tobacco, and YRF Studios for July and August have been put on hold. Shooting is likely to resume in September or October, depending on his recovery. Despite the delay, buzz around King continues to soar. The film stars SRK as a veteran assassin training his protégé, played by Suhana Khan. The cast also features Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal, with Anil Kapoor reportedly essaying the role of SRK's mentor.
