30 November,2024 04:52 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSuperstar Allu Arjun has invited fresh trouble for his recent statement at the Pushpa 2 press meet in Mumbai which has led to a police complaint. According to a post on X, formerly Twitter, a complaint has been lodged against the icon star by Srinivas Goud, the president of the Green Peace Environment and Water Harvesting Foundation at the Jawahar Nagar Police Station in Hyderabad. అల్లు అర్జున్పై పోలీసులకు ఫిర్యాదుఐకాన్ స్టార్ అల్లు అర్జున్పై ఓ వ్యక్తి జవహర్నగర్ పోలీస్ స్టేషన్లో ఫిర్యాదు చేశాడు. అల్లు అర్జున్ తన అభిమాన సంఘానికి అర్జున్ ఆర్మీ అని పేరు పెట్టుకున్నాడని తెలిపారు. ఆర్మీ అనే పదం దేశానికి సేవ చేసే గౌరవప్రదమైన పేరని, దీనిని అభిమాన… pic.twitter.com/XyXVwgzNZJ — Aadhan Telugu (@AadhanTelugu) November 30, 2024 Police complaint against Allu Arjun for using the term ‘Army’ At the Mumbai press meet for his upcoming film Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun said, “I don’t have fans; I have an Army.” He added, “I love my fans, they’re like my family. They stand by me, they celebrate me. They stand for me like an Army. I love you all. I will make you all proud. If this film becomes a big hit, I will dedicate it to all my fans.” The statement led to a police complaint by Srinivas Goud, who said, using the term ‘Army’ is disrespectful since it is associated with the armed forces that serve the nation. Allu Arjun says Pushpa 2 belongs to his film unit The film belongs to the whole team who spent five years on it, Allu Arjun said during the event. "Pushpa is not about me, not about him (director), it is about the crew, technicians, unit members, actors, my actress working, for the last five years. This film belongs to bouncers, unit (members), and everybody... I want this film to be a hit and make it meaningful for them. That's why I got emotional on the last day of the shoot. I'm saying it with utmost humility I want this film to be a hit for everybody else," he said. Pushpa 2 will be released on December 5 Pushpa 2: The Rule is directed by ace director Sukumar and will see Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles as Pushpa Raj, Srivalli, and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat. Allu Arjun, the main lead of the film, received a National Film Award for his performance in the first part which showcased power tussles set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling. The sequel is set to hit the theatres on December 5.
30 November,2024 01:47 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIn Pushpa 2: The Rule’s trailer, Allu Arjun’s character threatens that he is a “wildfire.” The words may turn out to be prophetic as the advance booking of the Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer opens today. The trade is expecting the pan-India film to take the box office by storm. Early buzz suggests that the first-day collections of Sukumar’s directorial venture, across languages, might rival that of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (2023), which had reportedly opened at about Rs 75 crore. Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan reportedly earned about Rs 75 cr on its first day Trade analyst Girish Wankhede told mid-day, “About 25 to 30 per cent of the opening weekend numbers can come from advance booking itself. That said, this film will have a lot of walk-ins; people will come in groups for it. After all, it’s a humongous film. It will open as big as Jawan, if not bigger.” Originally slated for an Independence Day release, Pushpa 2’s date with cinemas was then pushed to December 5. Wankhede believes the deferral only added to the action drama’s hype. While the Telugu version is expected to run riot in the south market, the trade analyst notes that the Hindi counterpart’s figures will be impressive. He reasons, “Pushpa is a brand that has been cultivated over the past few years. There has been no big Hindi film all month. It’s the most anticipated film of recent times and a much stronger brand than Stree.”

29 November,2024 02:15 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAfter Tamil superstar Dhanush’s production house, Wunderbar Movies moved the Madras HC against Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan over alleged copyright infringement concerning visuals from the movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, the Lady Superstar’s lawyer has responded to the same claiming there has been no violation as per the law. Nayanthara’s lawyer responds to Dhanush’s Rs 10 cr legal notice The civil suit filed by Wunderbar Movies was presented on Wednesday before a bench led by Justice Abdul Quddhose. The judge instructed Nayanthara and her husband, Vignesh Shivan, to respond to the suit and adjourned the matter. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Nayanthara’s lawyer Rahul Dhawan said, “Our response is that there is no infringement or violation because what has been utilised by us in the docu-series is not part of behind-the-scenes (from the film). The same is part of personal library, Therefore this is not infringement.” Why did Dhanush send a legal notice to Nayanthara? Dhanush had earlier sought damages of Rs 10 crore following the release of the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale’s trailer, which featured three seconds of behind-the-scenes footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. He claims that footage from the movie was used without his prior consent. Featuring accounts from friends and colleagues, including Rana Daggubatti, Taapsee Pannu, and Nagarjuna Akkineni, as well as her family, Nayanthara’s documentary unmasks her unyielding work ethic as an artist and her transformation as a daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Nayanthara calls Dhanush ‘vile’ in open letter Nayanthara wrote an open letter to the actor on her Instagram. A part of that open letter read, "It’s almost been 10 years since the release of the film, and it is a long time for someone to continue to be this vile while wearing a mask in front of the world. I have not forgotten all the horrible things that you said about the film that was one of your biggest hits as a producer and a film that is loved by all even today." For the unversed, 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' featured Nayanthara opposite Vijay Sethupathi. It was directed by her now-husband Vignesh Shivan and was backed by Dhanush under the Wunderbar Films banner in 2015.
