Nagarjuna's Coolie vs NTR's War 2 Release — Tollywood Braces For Showdown
The ever-charismatic Nagarjuna is back in the spotlight, continuing the proud Akkineni legacy in his own stylish way, still winning hearts and making headlines. While today's generation may associate him with films like Bangarraju (2022) and Naa Saami Ranga (2024), there was a time when audiences were truly smitten with his earlier works. While he may not have ignited a frenzy among the entire family audience, Nagarjuna Akkineni has long been a favourite, especially among women who admired his charm and charisma. Now comfortably into his sixties, his allure remains as potent as ever. Nagarjuna continues to stay in demand with a string of back-to-back projects. He recently shared the screen with Dhanush in Kubera (2025), delivering a memorable performance as Deepak. His upcoming film, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth, is set for release on August 14. With considerable pre-release excitement and extensive promotions, expectations are soaring. However, Coolie isn't the only major release scheduled for that day. War 2, starring NTR and Hrithik Roshan and directed by Ayan Mukerji, is also set to premiere on August 14. With NTR playing a morally complex character, the film has generated immense anticipation across the country. It will be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Interestingly, Coolie marks Nagarjuna's first full-fledged negative role, where he too plays the villain. The Tollywood crowd has taken to social media with playful banter, comparing the two releases. Fans are joking that NTR is 'backstabbing' Nagarjuna, despite affectionately calling him 'Nag Babai', by releasing a competing film on the same day. For those unfamiliar, Nagarjuna has always shared a warm bond with NTR's family. He considers the late Harikrishna like a brother and holds a fatherly affection for Tarak (NTR). Their camaraderie goes back to their time co-starring in Seetharama Raju (1999), and that bond has only deepened over the years. Nagarjuna's legacy lives on, not just through his iconic roles, but through the lasting relationships he's built along the way.

Aruna Holdings Acquires 80 Percent Stake in CNRC, $1B Investment Eyed
This article was first published on Rigzone here Private investment firm Aruna Holdings LLC has acquired an 80 percent ownership interest in Cunningham Natural Resources Corp. (CNRC). Under the agreement, CNRC has changed its name to Surya Oil and Gas Corp. and appointed a new board of directors and management. The deal also includes the licensing and deployment of Surya Energy Services' proprietary Kubera technology, CNRC said in a news release. The company said it plans to register with existing oil and gas partners in India for energy trading and investment opportunities later in the year. Additionally, CNRC said it is working on investment commitments of up to more than $1 billion, with up to $50 million earmarked for the development of existing and new wells for its subsidiary Cunningham Energy LLC in West Virginia, Texas and other states. CNRC's new board is led by Chairman Manish Patel, joined by new chief executive officer Hemal Rathod and Director Frank Kristan, who will provide continuity to the company's past operations and organization, according to the release. CNRC said its new management team is made up of industry veterans from the energy, healthcare, hospitality, banking and legal industries, 'collectively bringing over 100 years of aggregated expertise in emerging and established markets'. The company's president, Michael Gavenchak, is a former practicing attorney, business owner, and experienced operational executive. Ryan Cuningham, with over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, will continue as general manager of the company's subsidiary, Cunningham Energy. Surya is part of the agreement due to its association with Aruna Holdings. Surya's Kubera technology 'provides cutting-edge hydrocarbon detection with far better effectiveness than any other technology available, redefining drilling efficiency with the success rates for new well drilling at an impressive up to 95 percent effectiveness,' according to the release. Take control of your THOUSANDS of Oil & Gas jobs on Search Now >> After an in-depth initial review of Cunningham's current leases, Kubera technology analysts have pinpointed 'significant opportunities' to expand and optimize resource extraction. The existence of dozens of Cunningham wells will reduce the costs to tap those reserves, since new wells will not need to be started in many cases, CNRC said. Kristan said, "Meeting with Surya's partners in New Delhi in April, cemented our shared vision for a future where advanced technology and strategic investments drive the energy sector forward. We are excited to leverage Kubera's proven capabilities to capitalize on the rich potential of our leases and contribute to a transformative era in natural resource development'. Rathod said, "Aruna's participation in CNRC and the company's new management team positions CNRC at the forefront of technological advancement in oil and gas exploration. Surya's Kubera™ technology is a game changer, and this partnership signifies a huge leap forward for both CNRC and Surya as we work to maximize growth, asset potential and revenue, while supporting the ambitious targets of Mission 500'. Mission 500, a strategic trade initiative launched in the year by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump, aims to increase trade from $190 billion to $500 billion by 2030 and includes a focus on energy investments, according to the release.
