Ahead of Thammudu's release Nithiin addresses Macherla Kumpulan and Robinhood's failure: 'I want this film to be a hit for…'
Actor Nithiin is gearing up for an anticipated namesake movie, Thammudu. The title of the Sriram Venu directorial is the same as Pawan Kalyan's 1999-released action flick, which ended up becoming hugely successful. With high hopes already building up for Nithiin, he now addressed the previous box office failures associated with his name. Nithiin promises Thammudu to be a hit unlike his other tanked movies At the recent pre-release event for Thammudu, Nithiin took center stage, where he assured the audience and expressed confidence that the Sriram Venu directorial would become a hit, as it is set to release on July 4. Nithiin said, 'This film should be a hit for those who love me, this film should be a hit for those who admire me.. I want this film to be a hit for those who are happy if I get a hit. I want this film to be a hit for those who are sad if it flops. ' Nithiin apologizes for failure of his last few films Furthermore, the Telugu actor addressed the failures of his previous films, like Macherla Niyojakavargam, Extra Ordinary Man, and Robinhood. He highlighted that from now on, he would do good films that would impress the audience. Nithiin added, 'The films I have done recently have not impressed the audience.. I apologize to all of you for that. I promise to do good films from now on.. I hope that the film Thammudu will be a good success.' Thammudu bagged A certificate from CBFC Ahead of its release, Thammudu ended up bagging an 'A' rating from the CBFC after being screened. This indicates that the movie is not deemed suitable for viewers under 18 years of age, as it contains mature themes, language, and visuals that may be incomprehensible to them. Thammudu post-theatrical OTT rights Well, the film is backed by Dil Raju, who has struck a deal with Amazon Prime Video for the post-theatrical OTT rights of the movie. Thammudu will be released on the platform after a four-week theatrical run, only if the action thriller proves successful at the box office. If not, then it can be made to debut online sooner than before.

Karan Johar REVEALS Secrets About Bollywood WhatsApp Groups: 'Very B**chy...'
Karan Johar spills the tea on Bollywood's WhatsApp groups, calling them 'b**chy' and brutally honest. Karan Johar has never shied away from telling it like it is, and this time, he's taking us behind the digital curtain of Bollywood's most buzzing WhatsApp groups. In a candid moment during a conversation with Barkha Dutt for Mojo Story, the filmmaker reacted to a fan's cheeky suggestion: why not turn those WhatsApp chats into a movie or book? His reaction was classic Karan. 'If anyone ever got access to those WhatsApp groups about me and many of my friends in the fraternity, I think we would have to move to London. We may not be able to continue living in our city," Karan said, sending the audience into laughter. He explained that these chat groups are a no-filter zone where opinions fly freely — and often sharply. 'Because let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b**chy analysis of our immediate environment and what is going on. We are fashion critics, we are movie critics. We are critics of everything in that group. Everyone has an opinion, and none of us can ever put those opinions out there," Karan added. Known as Bollywood's go-to insider, Karan often sits at the centre of the industry's biggest social circles — which only makes his WhatsApp revelations juicier for fans who love their share of behind-the-scenes gossip. In the meantime, Karan is commanding attention on-screen as the host of The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video. The intense reality show features 20 celebrities playing a game of trust and betrayal, and it's gearing up for its grand finale on July 3. This season features a mix of names like Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Raftaar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Uorfi Javed, and Jannat Zubair. Karan Johar recently attended the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Homebound, a film produced under his banner, Dharma Productions. The movie, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, features Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor in key roles. First Published:
