Hyderabad, February 13 - Director SS Rajamouli has often spoken about cinema transcending realism, and the scene he associates with one of the greatest cinematic moments in Varanasi perfectly reflects that philosophy. During an interview with Collider, the maverick filmmaker picked the moment in the film which he feels is going to be a peak cinematic moment. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The filmmaker was asked at what point he thought of making Varanasi. While he didn't pinpoint an instance which led him to make this global action adventure, he did point out the scene featuring the titular character, Rudra, played by Mahesh Babu. The visual captures a ferocious warrior charging through the ancient city atop a raging bull, with dust, chaos, and towering temples framing the spectacle. It is not designed to depict everyday Varanasi, but its eternal spirit—raw, powerful, and deeply spiritual. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What elevates this moment into cinematic greatness is its symbolism. The bull instantly evokes Nandi, the sacred mount of Lord Shiva, who is intrinsically linked to Varanasi. By placing his protagonist on the bull, Rajamouli fuses man and epicness into a single visual idea. For Rajamouli, this moment represents cinema at its most elemental—where culture, history, movement, and emotion collide in a single frame. It is the kind of shot that, Rajamouli feel, will remain etched in the audience's memory long after the film ends. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Also starring Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Varanasi is being filmed for IMAX and is scheduled to release on April 7, 2027, in multiple languages.

The film has recorded a realized gross of ₹3.05 Crore, which increases to ₹5.9 Crore when including blocked seats. For a high-budget production of this scale, the current advance booking numbers indicate a slow start at the box office. With a realized pre-sale gross of ₹3.05 Crore, the film has fallen short of the double-digit opening benchmark typically expected from a major star-led release. O'Romeo will now depend significantly on a surge in walk-in audiences and strong word-of-mouth during the evening shows to build momentum over the weekend.

Rocking Star Yash's upcoming pan-India spectacle, Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups, has found itself at the center of a religious controversy just as production enters its most crucial phase. Scheduled for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026, the film is now facing a formal complaint from the National Christian Federation. The organization has alleged that certain portions of the film, specifically those recently filmed in a cemetery, are offensive to the Christian community and disrespectful to their religious beliefs. The root of the opposition stems from scenes shot at a local cemetery during the film's current schedule. According to the complaint filed with the authorities, the federation claims that the portrayal of religious symbols and the manner in which the sacred space was used for action-heavy or stylized sequences hurt the sentiments of the community. The body has warned of further legal action and protest if the alleged offensive content is not withdrawn or modified before the film hits the big screen. While the production house, KVN Productions, has not yet issued an official statement, industry insiders suggest that the team is taking the feedback seriously to avoid any further legal hurdles. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Directed by the National Award-winning filmmaker Geethu Mohandas, Toxic marks a significant departure from the industrial, dusty landscapes of the KGF universe. The film is set in a bygone era of 1970s Goa, blending a stylish aesthetic with a gritty underworld narrative. The story reportedly explores the dark underbelly of a powerful drug cartel operating in the coastal paradise. Described as a fairytale for grown-ups, the movie promises a blend of high-octane action and deep emotional stakes, with Yash playing a character that is rumored to be more sophisticated yet more lethal than Rocky Bhai. Beyond Yash's magnetic screen presence, the film features one of the most impressive pan-India ensembles in recent times. Nayanthara plays a pivotal role (rumored to be Yash's sister in the film), while Kiara Advani has joined the cast as the female lead. Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi also plays a strong, antagonistic character. On the technical front, the movie is backed by a massive budget and a world-class VFX team to recreate the 1970s Goan atmosphere.
