Chaithu Jonnalagadda steals the show in ‘HIT: The 3rd Case';gears up for big leaps ahead
Portraying Sub-Inspector Diwakar, Chaithu delivers a performance packed with wit, charm, and punchy dialogue. His now-viral line, 'AbkiBaar Arjun Sarkar,' delivered with flair and impeccable timing, had fans erupting in theatres. His scenes with Nani, who plays the sharp and intense Arjun Sarkar, are being widely praised for their chemistry and energy.
The dynamic between Arjun and Diwakar, blending camaraderie, tension, and humor, has become one of the film's most unexpected highlights. A recurring comedic gag—Diwakar asking for leave and being flatly denied—added a much-needed dash of levity to the film's intense narrative and became a fan-favorite moment.
Chaithu not only shines on his own but also enhances every scene with the ensemble cast, proving his versatility and screen presence. His consistent delivery of engaging performances signals the rise of a promising star.
Looking ahead, Chaithu has a packed slate that includes an ETV Win project, a Bollywood debut, and two major Telugu films. With his growing fanbase and impressive screen graph, ChaithuJonnalagadda is clearly on a rapid ascent in Indian cinema—and there's no slowing him down.

Dhadak 2 Box Office collection Day 4: Triptii Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi film struggles to retain momentum, sees 66% drop
EDhadak 2 Box Office collection Day 4: Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi starrer seems to struggle at the box office to retain momentum as it witnessed 66.27 percent drop in earnings on Monday. Following multiple delays, Shazia Iqbal directorial movie was finally released in theatres on August 1, only to witness slow start. After making descent earnings over the weekend, the Bollywood movie raked in an estimated ₹ 1.4 crore net at the domestic box office, according to film industry tracker Sacnilk. Produced under the banners Dharma Productions, Zee Studio and Cloud9 Studio, the movie opened to ₹ 3.5 crore net and ₹ 7.90 crore net over the next two days. On its first Saturday and Sunday it collected ₹ 3.75 crore and ₹ 4.15 crore respectively. Thus, during its 4-day run in theatres, the emotionally-charged movie did a business of ₹ 12.8 crore net. Even the footfalls presented a grim picture as the movie registered an overall 14.26% Hindi occupancy on August 4. During the first three days, the romantic thriller did a business of ₹ 16 crore globally, Sacnilk reported. Overseas Collection: ₹ 2.25 crore gross in 3 days IMDb description states, 'A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in.' As per Bolly movie reviewz, the film was made on a budget of ₹ 60 crore. The strong narrative focused on caste and love features an ensemble cast, including Saurabh Sachdeva, Zakir Hussain, Deeksha Joshi, and Vipin Sharma in pivotal roles, alongside lead actors. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who gave Dhadak 2 a 3.5 star rating, said, 'Sharp writing. Captivating, emotionally-charged second half... Solid performances. Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part.'

One of Telugu cinema's most beloved romantic dramas, the film earned Genelia several awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu. Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na (2008): This coming-of-age romantic comedy, produced by Aamir Khan, emerged as a classic cult over time. She played the lovable Aditi in the film alongside Imran Khan's Jai and their characters struck a chord with young audiences.

Sachein (2005): Opposite Thalapathy Vijay, Genelia shone in this romantic drama that earned a lot of love from the audience. Though not a pan-India hit, the film performed well in the Tamil market, adding more to her already growing popularity in South Indian cinema. Force (2011): Genelia starred opposite John Abraham in this action-packed romantic drama. The film did well both commercially and critically, but the standout factor? It was the stunning chemistry between the lead pair. Her performance added emotional depth to an otherwise high-octane action narrative.
