Prabhakar Boré Gowda makes Kollywood debut with ‘Accused'
Bengaluru: Another promising talent from the Kannada industry is making waves beyond state borders. Prabhakar Boré Gowda, a well-known face in Kannada television, has officially stepped into the Tamil film industry (Kollywood) with the upcoming action-thriller 'Accused', where he plays the lead antagonist. Directed by Prabhu Srinivas, 'Accused' features an ensemble cast including Udhay, Yogi Babu, Ajmal, and Janvika. Prabhakar, who plays the film's main villain, is confident that this project will mark a turning point in his career. The film is set for a worldwide release on August 1, and its trailer has already received widespread appreciation, building strong buzz around his Tamil debut. Hailing from Mandya, Prabhakar has been a part of the entertainment industry for over two decades, beginning his journey with a passion for theatre after completing his engineering in Bengaluru. He underwent theatre training and acted in numerous stage productions before becoming a household name on the Kannada small screen, appearing in over 5,000 episodes. Some of his most popular Kannada serials include Kapicheste, Kunkuma Bhagya, Soundarya Lahari, Mangalya, and the long-running Punyakoti, which alone had over 2,000 episodes. His role in the show Baduku was a breakthrough, running successfully for six years, while his performance in Mane Ondu Mooru Bagilu as a negative character was also well received. Initially cast in a lead role by A.G. Sheshadri for 'Punyakoti', Prabhakar later became a go-to actor for lead and character roles in multiple serials. Despite his busy schedule in TV and a parallel business venture, he felt drawn toward cinema and gradually transitioned to films. His film debut came with a negative role in Kariya 2. He then shared screen space with the late Sanchari Vijay in Aham Brahmasmi and featured in several other films, mostly in villainous roles — a genre he continues to enjoy. His recent performance as an antagonist in Rudra Garuda Purana was widely appreciated. Now, with 'Accused', Prabhakar's career enters a new phase. The film is content-driven and action-packed, and Prabhakar feels privileged to have worked with experienced technicians and senior artists. The positive feedback from industry insiders and Tamil directors who have seen his performance in the trailer has already opened up fresh opportunities in Kollywood. With a strong foundation in theatre, a proven track record in television, and now a promising start in Tamil cinema, Prabhakar Boré Gowda is hoping to make a lasting mark in the South Indian film industry — joining the growing list of Kannada actors expanding their horizons across languages.

Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's ‘Saiyaara' becomes the 26th biggest hit of Hindi cinema, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Dunki' and Ajay Dvegn's ‘Singham Again'
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara achieves remarkable box office success. The film stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Saiyaara earns Rs 248.43 crore in ten days. It surpasses Dunki and Singham Again collections. The film's success is driven by strong storytelling and music. Saiyaara's performance is notable with debutant actors. The film is expected to enter the Top 25 Hindi films soon. In an industry where box office numbers often define a film's legacy, Mohit Suri 's Saiyaara has etched its name in the annals of Hindi cinema by becoming the 26th highest-grossing Hindi film ever. With an India net collection of Rs 248.43 crore in just 10 days, the film has outpaced major star-driven releases like Shah Rukh Khan 's Dunki (Rs 227 crore) and Ajay Devgn 's Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore). Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , Saiyaara was initially viewed as a promising debut vehicle. But what followed was a box office phenomenon that not only defied expectations but also reaffirmed the power of storytelling and music-driven romance. Under the deft direction of Mohit Suri and backed by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Saiyaara struck a chord with audiences across metros and mass belts alike. Released with solid buzz, Saiyaara opened with an impressive Rs 21.5 crore on its first Friday. What truly stunned the trade was the film's phenomenal growth over the opening weekend — Rs 26 crore on Saturday and a massive Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. With a Week 1 total of Rs 172.75 crore, the film had already entered blockbuster territory. What followed in its second weekend cemented its status as a bonafide hit. On Day 8 (2nd Friday), Saiyaara held steady with Rs 18 crore, followed by a major jump on Saturday to Rs 26.5 crore, and then an estimated Rs 31.18 crore on Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Arabian Sea Facing Apartments - Mahalaxmi, South Mumbai Lodha Bellevue Click Here Undo The 10-day total stood at a staggering Rs 248.43 crore, just enough to inch past Singham Again and Dunki, which had the backing of massive star power and franchise value. What makes Saiyaara's feat more remarkable is that it achieved this position with debutant actors in lead roles,something of this stature was seen about 25 years ago when Hrithik Roshan made his debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai which had made about Rs 44 crore back in 2000. If inflation is adjusted it would made about Rs 200 crore now. Saiyaara has gone past some heavyweights like Dunki which boasted the return of Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan's post-Pathaan and Jawan outing, and Singham Again brought back the reliable Ajay Devgn–Rohit Shetty duo, Saiyaara relied purely on content, emotional depth, and soul-stirring music. This surge also places Saiyaara ahead of films like Drishyam 2 (Rs 239.67 Cr), The Kerala Story (Rs 239.05 Cr), and Krrish 3 (Rs 231.79 Cr), all of which were declared blockbusters or higher. Notably, it's also breathing down the neck of URI: The Surgical Strike (Rs 244.14 Cr), which was termed an 'All Time Blockbuster.' With the release of two films in Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar on 1st August and one can expect Saiyaara to lose some steam. But the film is fully capable of entering the Top 25 hits of the Hindi cinema by the end of the day.
