Mouni Roy Joins Chiranjeevi's Vishwambhara For A Special Dance Number
Mouni Roy is set to win hearts with her yet another dance number in a special song in Chiranjeevi's much-awaited movie, Vishwambhara.
Mouni Roy has already etched her name in the world of glam and glitz with her impeccable acting and dancing skills. After garnering immense praise for her stints in films like Brahmastra and KGF: Chapter 1, the actress is set to star in a special song in Megastar Chiranjeevi's much-awaited movie, Vishwambhara. The high-budget fantasy drama has been in the making for three years, and it seems the diva is set to add her charm to it.
As per a report by the Great Andhra website, Mouni Roy has been roped in for a special dance number in Chiranjeevi's long-delayed Telugu film Vishwambhara. The music score has been composed by National Award winner MM Keeravani, known for his musical scores in films like the Baahubali franchise, RRR, Zakhm, Jism, and Paheli, among others. The shoot is scheduled to begin in June 2025, and it is quite interesting to see how the diva's presence in the movie spices things up.
Directed by Mallidi Vassishta, Vishwambhara has been in the making for three years and is set to lock a release date. According to reports, the Telugu movie has been hugely criticised for its VFX after the makers released its teaser. Being upset by the response, Chiranjeevi asked the makers to redo the entire VFX part, contributing to the film's further delay.
Check out the teaser here:
Besides this, Vishwambhara, which marks Vassishta's second directorial after the huge success of Bimbisara with Kalyan Ram, is also not able to lock a date with the OTT platforms due to its heavy budget. The charges quoted by the makers were beyond the expectations of OTT platforms like Amazon and Netflix. Thus, the discussions are still ongoing.
As of now, the fantasy drama is planning for a release in the summer of 2026. The high-budget movie also stars Trisha Krishnan as the female lead, alongside notable stars like Ashika Ranganath, Janhvi Kapoor, Isha Chawla, Surbhi and Kunal Kapoor.
Coming back to Mouni Roy, the actress was last seen in the comedy horror film The Bhootnii, written and directed by Sidhaant Sachdev. Produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt, the 39-year-old shared screen space alongside Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Singh, and Palak Tiwari, among others.
Looking ahead, she will be seen in Salaakaar (Advisor), which is reportedly based on the life of India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Although not much is confirmed by the makers about the same, it seems the film is based on the courageous spy of the country. Additionally, Mouni has a romantic comedy in her pipeline titled Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Heads of State movie 3 review: At last, Priyanka Chopra comes good in Hollywood; John Cena steals the show in fun ride
Heads of State movie 3 review Cast: Idris Elba, John Cena, Priyanka Chopra, Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Carla Gugino, Stephen Root, and Sarah Niles Director: Ilya Naishuller Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video Rating: ★★★ If you have followed Priyanka Chopra's career over the last two decades, you know what the actor is capable of. From Barfi to Bajirao Mastani and as far back as Aitraaz, she has wowed audiences with her skills and screen presence. And yet, to the West, this had all been absent. Her career in Hollywood, though successful, lacked good films and projects that could be remembered. With Heads of State, she has taken that belated first step in that direction. The film and the actor both come off as likeable, but the true star of the show in this action comedy is John Cena. Heads of State is a throwback to the good old actioners from the 90s that is equal parts fun and thrill. Just do not expect anything deep from it, and you will have a great time. Heads of State movie review: Priyanka Chopra, Idris Elba, and John Cena in the film. Action movie star Will Derringer (John Cena) is the new US President. As he meets the commando-turned-British PM, Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), the two have a standoff in front of the world media. The solution is a show of faith, a joint ride from the US to Europe aboard Air Force One. However, a Russian arms dealer (Paddy Considine) orchestrates a terror attack on the plane, and the two heads of state are stranded in Central Europe. Now, they only have their wits and a protector in MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra) to get to safety and foil the terrorists' plans. Heads of State reminded me of the best of Arnold Schwarzenegger's action films from the 90s, where you have well-shot action set pieces blended with cheesy one-liners and one-dimensional villains. That is the kind of simplicity modern action films have disregarded in the quest to be complex and edgy. That nostalgia alone is worth this trip, but Heads of State has more to offer. There is a romantic subplot in the film, too. But the real chemistry is between Idris and John Cena. The two play these bickering, egoistical tough guys, who will not bow down and never accept mistakes, to perfection. They play off each other quite well, enhancing their already-stellar chemistry from The Suicide Squad. But it's John Cena who walks away with the applause. The actor proves yet again he is much more than just a former wrestler. His comic timing is phenomenal. And despite being his size, he takes on the 'sidekick' trope quite well. He makes the film jump at you in dull moments with a perfectly-delivered one-liner here or simply a twitch of the eyebrow there. Priyanka Chopra is the muscle of the film, a refreshing break in the genre that is known for following the gender norms a little too much. Priyanka is part of some of the most intense and brutal fight scenes in the film, and she aces them. There isn't much room for performance in a film as light as this, but she still holds her own against the two leading men. Idris Elba seems the most lost in a rather clichéd part that does not utilise his acting chops. The surprise element of the film is Jack Quaid, who infuses some new life into the film in the middle with an unpredictable yet typically quirky character. The shortcomings But Heads of State is not a perfect film, not in the least. It is predictable with a wafer-thin plot. All the twists and turns are quite generic and follow tropes that have been done to death. What saves the film is that it never pretends to be anything smart or path-breaking. Heads of State knows it's a run-of-the-mill action thriller and delivers what it promises—high-octane action, cool fights, and witty humour. Heads of State is popcorn entertainment at its core - the perfect weekend watch that can be consumed even if you are doing something else. Well, that is what it has essentially come down to with streaming, hasn't it?

Meet actor who left BTech, debuted in TV, earned fame in Telugu cinema, auditioned for Hollywood and is now set to join Rs 800 cr project
This actor is in the spotlight for her next project, which is touted to be one of the biggest films ever produced, where she will be joining some of the top stars across the film fraternity. Her transition from television to mainstream cinema has been lauded immensely, as the diva has secured some of the most prestigious movie roles one after the other. Can you guess who we are talking about? Yes, it's Mrunal Thakur. Who is Mrunal Thakur? Born in August 1992, Mrunal hails from a Marathi-speaking family in the state of Maharashtra. She completed her schooling in the city of dreams itself and then joined KC College to pursue a degree. However, due to attendance issues and her keen interest in acting, Mrunal left college without completing her degree. She instead focused on having a career in television. Early career debut with television While still in college, Mrunal bagged her first offer for a lead role in the television serial Mujhse Kuchh Kehti… Yeh Khamoshiyaan. She played the character named Gauri Bhosle opposite Mohit Sehgal in the daily soap, which aired on Star Plus from 2012. By February 2014, she landed her next big serial, Kumkum Bhagya, which catapulted her to household fame in no time. She played the younger sister of the lead female role, which was played by Sriti Jha. Her character of Bulbul received positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Debut in films in a lead role opposite Hrithik Roshan In 2014, Mrunal forayed into mainstream cinema with three Marathi films: Hello Nandan, Vitti Dandu, and Surajya. In 2019, Mrunal Thakur bagged her Bollywood debut in the lead role opposite Hrithik Roshan in Vikas Bahl's movie Super30. This was a commercial success and one of the highest-grossing grossers of the year. The same year, she paired up opposite John Abraham in the movie Batla House, where she played the role of the actor's wife. This was again a commercially successful movie at the box office. Mrunal Thakur's Telugu films, success with sleeper hit Sita Ramam Mrunal's next venture was unprecedented as she went on to earn stripes in Telugu cinema as well. Her debut project was with Dulquer Salmaan in Sita Ramam. The period romantic drama was a sleeper hit, and also won critical applause for her performance. The diva even won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress-Telugu for her role as Sita in the Hanu Raghavapudi directorial. By 2023, Mrunal Thakur delivered yet another smashing success with Nani starrer Hi Nanna. The Telugu romance became the first solo movie to be a box office success that year. In 2024, the actress paired up opposite Vijay Deverakonda in the movie The Family Star. Despite the hype, this film failed to raise buzz and tanked at the box office. Mrunal Thakur auditioned for a Hollywood film One of the lesser-known anecdotes about Mrunal Thakur is that she had once auditioned for a role in the popular Hollywood film franchise The Matrix. Well, she had auditioned for a role in Matrix Resurrections in 2021. However, she did not secure the offer, and instead, it went to Priyanka Chopra. Mrunal Thakur's work front ahead Moving on, Mrunal Thakur has grabbed attention for her next film, which is Allu Arjun and Atlee's mega project AA22xA6. The Rs. 800 crore project, which already stars Deepika Padukone in a lead role, will feature her as the second female lead. Besides this, she has another Telugu movie, Dacoit, opposite Adivi Sesh. Some of her upcoming Hindi projects include Son of Sardaar 2, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai with Varun Dhawan, Tum Toh Ho with Siddhanth Chaturvedi, and Pooja Meri Jaan with Huma Qureshi.
