Jr NTR's role in the film
Naga Vamsi also revealed that Jr NTR is deeply focused on his role and is mentally preparing himself to play the character of Lord Karthikeya, also known as Skanda, his role is expected to be very intense and transformative, which means it will require a different kind of performance from Jr NTR, one that goes beyond his usual style and demands deep emotional and physical involvement.
As for the timeline, Vamsi stated that the shooting will begin in the second half of 2026. Right now, Trivikram Srinivas is busy with another film starring Venkatesh Daggubati, and only after that project is completed will the work on the mythological film begin.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashmika Mandanna (@rashmika_mandanna) Interestingly, this comes days after Vijay Deverakonda shared why he consciously guards his private world even after previously admitting he's in a relationship. 'I've always felt like it's a strange split, you want to be an actor and be known by the world, but you also want to remain anonymous. It's some kind of psychotic dichotomy," he told The Hollywood Reporter India. The actor went on to say that if he could create a fictional version of himself and keep his real identity hidden, he would. 'I used to tell people that if I could wear a mask that didn't look like me, and that guy could be the star while I still got to act, I'd be happy. Because for me, Vijay Deverakonda the actor, I operate for him," he explained. Meanwhile, on the work front, Rashmika was last seen in Sikandar opposite Salman Khan. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film is now streaming on Netflix. On the other hand, Vijay Deverakonda will next be seen in Kingdom, a spy thriller helmed by Jersey director Gowtam Tinnanuri.

India's most expensive film, budget to be Rs 4000 crore, lead actors are..., movie name is...
What drives someone to bet a massive budget on a story everyone already knows? For Namit Malhotra, it's not just about making a film, it's about honouring a legacy, reviving a belief system, and reimagining mythology on a scale never seen before. India's most expensive film Filmmaker and Prime Focus founder Namit Malhotra is creating waves with his boldest move yet: a two-part cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Slated to release in 2026 and 2027, this isn't just another mythology-based film — it's set to be the most expensive project in Indian cinema history, with a reported budget of over Rs 4,000 crore. Speaking on a podcast with YouTuber Prakhar Gupta, Malhotra recalled, 'Everybody thought I'm a lunatic… because no Indian film, by a long distance, comes close to it.' The combined budget of both parts? A staggering $500 million. Why Ramayana, and why now? For Malhotra, this isn't about flexing scale. It's about legacy. 'I'm taking the greatest belief system of our country. We're taking something that we have pride in. It's a foundational piece of our culture,' he said, adding that he hopes the story resonates globally in today's times. With a team that includes Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari, Malhotra believes he's the right custodian for a tale that holds deep spiritual and cultural significance. Who's playing who? The casting reflects the ambition: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram Sai Pallavi as Sita Yash as Ravan Ravi Dubey as Lakshman Sunny Deol as Hanuman Part One of the film is set for Diwali 2026, with Part Two to follow in Diwali 2027. Hollywood-level investment To give perspective, Ramayana's production budget outpaces major global hits like the latest Superman reboot, and matches the cost of Marvel giants like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Yet, despite the massive spend, Malhotra insists it's not reckless, 'We're making the largest film in the world for the greatest story… but we're doing it with responsibility.' Malhotra's motivations are also personal. 'My kids are growing up in Mumbai today. They're going to Indian schools. I want them to study in India,' he shared, underlining his commitment to preserving Indian culture — not just through storytelling, but at home too. Even before its release, the buzz around the film is electric. The first glimpses have already caused a stir online, with fans and critics alike eager to see how this epic unfolds on the big screen.

I am glad to mark my return in Kannada with Benny: Nandita Swetha
'In the last few years, I've taken on strong, women-centric roles in Tamil and Telugu, and those gave me recognition and confidence. So when I decided to return to Kannada, I didn't want to do just another film. I wanted something meaningful.' Nandita is clear that this comeback isn't temporary. 'I don't want people to think I've just taken up a Kannada film and will disappear again. I'm here to stay. With the strength of this script and my experience, I want to show that we do have strong Kannada heroines.' Calling 2025 her Kannada comeback year, she concludes with conviction, 'This film marks a new chapter, I want to build my career here, where I belong.'
