8th NATS Telugu Sambaralu concludes on a high note in Florida
The 8th edition of the North America Telugu Society (NATS) Telugu Sambaralu came to a grand close in Tampa, Florida, after three days of vibrant celebrations that drew over 20,000 attendees. The event turned into a glorious celebration of Telugu culture, traditions, music, and community spirit, with Convenor and Past Chairman Guttikonda Srinivas leading the efforts with exceptional dedication. The mega event witnessed the presence of Tollywood heavyweights including Nandamuri Balakrishna, Victory Venkatesh, Allu Arjun, and Sreeleela, alongside veteran actresses Jayasudha and Meena. The musical atmosphere reached new heights with electrifying performances by star composers Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman, leaving the audience thrilled. Under the theme 'Never Before, Ever After,' the Telugu Sambaralu showcased the richness of Telugu heritage through cultural programs, performances, and social initiatives. Guttikonda Srinivas, in his vote of thanks, appreciated the tireless work of the event directors, co-directors, chairs, co-chairs, and hundreds of volunteers who contributed like 'soldiers' to make the event a resounding success. Beyond the festivities, the event also reflected NATS' commitment to social responsibility. The organization donated ₹85 lakh (approx. USD 100,000) to Hyderabad's Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital. The cheque was formally handed over to hospital chairman Nandamuri Balakrishna, who, along with Vasundhara Balakrishna, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for their service. NATS Board Chairman Prashanth Pinnamaneni and Secretary Malladi Srinivas, along with the leadership team, ensured flawless coordination. With the powerful slogan 'This is our Telugu celebration — let's celebrate together,' the 8th NATS Telugu Sambaralu proved to be a cultural landmark, celebrating Telugu identity on an international stage.

Kingdom release date confirmed: Vijay Deverakonda ‘will burn everything' if need be. Watch teaser
Kingdom teaser: Although we are now in the second half of the year, Telugu cinema's performance has been relatively dull in 2025, despite the release of several high-profile films headlined by stars like Nandamuri Balakrishna (Daaku Maharaaj), Daggubati Venkatesh (Sankranthiki Vasthunam), Nani (HIT: The Third Case), Ram Charan (Game Changer) and Naga Chaitanya (Thandel). Not only has the industry failed to deliver a full-fledged Tollywood blockbuster in these months, but even the star vehicles have struggled to impress audiences and have underperformed at the box office. Now, the Telugu film industry is gearing up for one of the most anticipated face-offs of the year, as Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 and Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom are set to release just a week apart. Malayalam cinema 6-month report card | Disappointment of most hyped movie, tables turning between superstars and more Ahead of Kingdom's late-July premiere, the makers unveiled a new promo on Monday, confirming the release date and significantly raising expectations. Much like the earlier teasers, this one also is sharply edited, offering just enough to keep the hype sky-high while deliberately withholding answers to the million-dollar questions. Even as the February teaser introduced Vijay's character as the 'emperor', the new 44-second video opens with him in a constable's uniform, standing among many fellow officers. The promo then quickly cuts to a series of shots of Vijay Deverakonda in various settings and avatars, with only one thing as constant: his no-holds-barred attitude while taking on rivals. Soon, we hear the now-familiar line, 'I will do anything, sir. If needed, I will burn everything,' accompanied by Anirudh Ravichander's electrifying score, setting the stage for a cinematic experience unlike anything seen before in Telugu cinema. Bankrolled by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune 4 Cinemas, respectively, Kingdom is written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The movie boasts cinematography by Jomon T John and Girish Gangadharan, editing by Navin Nooli and production design by Avinash Kolla. Kingdom will hit the screens on July 31, a week after Hari Hara Veera Mallu's July 24 debut.
