There are speculations from the last two days that, Ashok’s uncle Superstar Mahesh Babu is playing a cameo as Lord Srikrishna. The news brought huge craze and attention to the project. But, there is no truth in the news.

“My apologies for not responding immediately to the rumors about our superstar @urstrulyMahesh mamayya doing cameo role as lord Krishna in my film Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. This news is absolutely false! I’m also very disappointed that such misleading news has spread and again sorry for responding so late, I am currently filming for the next movie in New York City and completely missed seeing this spread on social media,” wrote Ashok on social media.

Ashok Galla went on to say that it would be a great moment for him if Mahesh plays a cameo but it is not happening. “To be clear it would a very big personal and also career defining moment if there truly was such a cameo in any of my films and I would be the first one to share such news. Finally I please request everyone to refrain from spreading such rumors and while this may disappoint a few, I am confident that the movie will not!” he wrote.

Manasa Varanasi and Devdatta Gajanan Nage are playing the other key roles in the film. Directed by Arjun Jandyala, the film is bankrolled by Somineni Balakrishna under the Lalithambika Productions banner. Bheems Ceciroleo is the music director of the film. Prasad Murella and Rasool Ellore worked for the film as cinematographers while Sai Madhav Burra penned the dialogues.

Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi are basically from other languages and established bases in Telugu. Sai Pallavi is a step ahead of Sivakarthikeyan, and people consider her as a Telugu heroine since she attained stardom in Tollywood. Now, the upcoming film Amaran throws a challenge to both to prove their stardom and market value in Telugu for this Diwali.

Amaran didn’t initially have high expectations among the upcoming releases this week, especially for its Telugu version. However, bookings are surprisingly strong, creating a buzz in the trade circles. This response was unexpected, given that it’s a serious biopic.

The major advantage of the film is the presence of Sai Pallavi as the heroine, and the efforts that Siva Karthikeyan put into this film are extraordinary. Both are enough to bring solid openings for the film, but the film is competing with other Telugu releases, Lucky Bhaskar and Ka.

Billed to be the biography film based on the life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, Amaran is posing a challenge to Sivakarthikeyan to prove his worth. Sivakarthikeyan scored a couple of hits earlier in Telugu, but his recent releases have not resulted in significant success. Moreover, his Telugu film with KV Anudeep, titled Prince,, disappointed audiences. However, Siva worked hard for this film and even took great care of the film’s dubbing.

On the other hand, Sai Pallavi reportedly got a significant role in the film, and her character is adding the emotional depth of the film. Sai Pallavi is easily one of the best performers we have today, and she would pull off the role easily. Especially, when she is facing criticism for some old comments she made in the past, the success of this film is crucial for her. Moreover, it’s been two years since we saw her in a Telugu film, and it is indeed a testing time for her.

Insiders say director Rajkumar Periyaswamy has crafted action sequences with intense emotions, which has garnered positive initial feedback. Releasing over the Diwali long weekend, Amaran’s success could strengthen Siva Karthikeyan’s position in the Telugu market if it succeeds. Sai Pallavi could also give an edge to the film, and the popularity of both films is questioned.

Kamal Haasan produced the film in Telugu and Nithiin’s Shresth Movies bagged the Telugu rights for the film.

Sreevishnu’s starrer Swag is one of the recent releases that has sparked discussions on social media. Typically, audiences discuss a film and forget about it within a week, but Swag has been debated for several days. Although the film did not achieve the expected success during its theatrical run, it is now garnering significant attention following its release on OTT platforms.

During the promotions, Sreevishnu sarcastically urged the ‘TFI Failed Here’ crowd to watch the film. There’s always a segment of viewers who recognize a film’s potential long after its release and later comment that “TFI failed” when it initially premiered. Many good films have been added to the TFI Failed Here club, and Swag seems to be the latest entry.

Some movies don’t perform well in theaters but gain appreciation once they hit OTT platforms, leaving digital audiences puzzled about why the film initially failed. Social media often amplifies these films post-release, with several notable examples, including Athadu, Khaleja, and the recent Ante Sundaraniki. Now, Swag joins this list.

Directed by Hasit Goli, known for Raja Raja Chora, Swag features Sri Vishnu and is produced by People’s Media. The film was released on the 5th of this month but faced negative reviews and poor theater attendance, resulting in a box office flop. However, Swag premiered on Amazon Prime three weeks later, and online audiences have since praised it. Clips of various scenes have gone viral on social media, igniting discussions over its timely political and social commentary.

Given the recent change in government in Andhra Pradesh, several scenes and dialogues targeting the YSRCP have resonated with viewers. A reference to HYDRAA also gained attention. Sree Vishnu’s performance, particularly his portrayal of a transgender character, has received significant acclaim, especially for the emotional scenes in the second half.

As usual, netizens have started the hashtag “TFI Failed Here,” highlighting Swag as another film that thrived after its theatrical release.
