Nagarjuna plans legal action against Konda Surekha after her claims about Naga Chaitanya-Samantha divorce

<h2>A source close to the actor mentions that the Telugu film industry is united in supporting Nagarjuna, calling out politicians who use celebrities for attention.</h2>

Megastar Nagarjuna is in no mood to overlook Telangana Minister Konda Surekha's offensive and distasteful remarks regarding his son Naga Chaitanya's divorce from actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
A day after, Telangana Minister Konda Surekha accused her political opponent K.T. Rama Rao of playing a major role in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's separation, in a bid to score electoral points, Naga revealed he&rsquo;s gearing up for a significant legal battle against her.
Speaking with Times Now, he said, &lsquo;I am in Vizag. I am heading back to Hyderabad for action ahead.&rsquo;
He added that he is considering legal action, &lsquo;Oh, absolutely! A hundred percent. We can&rsquo;t let this go. Not at all. I am rushing back with lawyers.&rsquo;
A source close to Nagarjuna commented, &lsquo;This culture of politicians using celebrity names for attention must stop. The entire Telugu film industry stands with Nag and his family, not only to put an end to this slanderous trend but also because of the immense love and respect Nag commands.&rsquo;
Other top actors and directors are expected to join Nagarjuna in his fight to prevent politicians from invading the personal lives of celebrities for political gains.
On October 3, Konda Surekha took to her X handle to apologise to Samantha. She wrote, &lsquo;My comments are meant to question a leader&rsquo;s belittling of women and not to hurt your sentiments, Samantha. The way you have grown up with self-power is not only an admiration for me.. but also an ideal.&rsquo;
She added, &lsquo;If you or your fans are offended by my comments, I unconditionally retract my comments. Don&rsquo;t think otherwise.&rsquo;
On October 2, in a video, the politician could be heard saying in Telugu, &lsquo;The reason behind Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu&rsquo;s divorce is none other than KT Rama Rao. He used to drug actresses, take them to rave parties, and tap their phones to find their weaknesses and blackmail them. Everyone in the film industry knows it. Its an open secret.&rsquo;
Both Samantha and Chaitanya took to social media to dismiss the claims, asking Surekha to refrain from involving them in political disputes.
The backlash against Konda Surekha&rsquo;s remarks extended beyond the Akkineni family, sparking outrage among several other celebrities, including Jr NTR, Nani, Chinmayi Sripaada, and Prakash Raj. Their collective disapproval highlighted the widespread frustration within the industry regarding the minister's controversial statements.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya married in a grand ceremony in Goa in 2017. However, after four years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in a joint Instagram post, citing reasons known only to them.

Akshay Oberoi is set to star with Yash in 'Toxic'. Inspired by Bollywood legends, Oberoi anticipates the release of two films in 2023 and 2026.

&nbsp;
Mumbai, Aug 19 (PTI) Actor Akshay Oberoi is set to appear alongside Kannada superstar Yash in the anticipated film "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grownups". Initially starstruck, Oberoi found inspiration in Yash's dedication and humility.
"I've had the good fortune to work with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan before collaborating with Yash. Despite Yash's immense popularity, he remains grounded, soft-spoken, and devoid of arrogance.
His rise from Mysore, with a bus conductor father, to superstardom is truly inspiring. Like everyone else, I was a fan of &lsquo;KGF&rsquo;. He has motivated me to think bigger about my career and aspirations," Oberoi expressed to PTI.
"Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grownups" is directed by esteemed filmmaker Geetu Mohandas, known for her films like &lsquo;Liar&rsquo;s Dice&rsquo; and &lsquo;Moothon&rsquo;. Produced by VN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the movie is slated for release on March 19, 2026.
"Being directed by Geetu Mohandas is a wonderful experience. I am confident that 'Toxic' will be remarkable," Oberoi noted.
The 40-year-old actor is also anticipating the launch of another project, &ldquo;Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari&rdquo;, directed by Shashank Khaitan. Starring Varun Dhawan and Jahnvi Kapoor, this film will be released later this year on October 2.
Oberoi is optimistic that both &ldquo;Toxic&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari&rdquo; will successfully engage a wide audience.
"Actors are dreamers. Over my 15-year career, I dream of every film succeeding. Facing countless uncertainties, maintaining a positive outlook is vital. By delivering our best work, I hope these films gain mass appeal and introduce my work to broader audiences, akin to what happened with &lsquo;Fighter&rsquo;," he earnestly stated.
Speaking at a retrospective dedicated to the legendary actor-filmmaker Guru Dutt, Oberoi revealed that greats like Dutt and Balraj Sahni inspired his venture into cinema.
"My father introduced me to Guru Dutt's films at a young age. Reading his biography recently, I got emotional and became a dedicated fan," he mentioned, encouraging the youth to explore Dutt's outstanding films such as &ldquo;Pyaasa&rdquo;, &ldquo;Chaudhvin Ka Chand&rdquo;, &ldquo;Kaagaz Ke Phool&rdquo;, &ldquo;Aar Paar&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Mr. and Mrs. 55&rdquo;.
Oberoi commended the NFDC and Ultra for their initiative on the Dutt retrospective.
Expressing admiration for Balraj Sahni, Oberoi remarked, "We tend to overlook him, yet he was a remarkable actor. Celebrating our icons, especially those who've passed, is crucial. Sahni departed too soon but left a significant impact worldwide, and we've somewhat forgotten him.&rdquo;

Kerala's film industry protests CBFC's demand for a title change of 'Janaki vs The State of Kerala' highlighting censorship issues. Industry leaders emphasize the importance of creative freedom despite religious censorship pressures.

Kerala Film Industry Protests CBFC Censorship

Industry leaders from Kerala's film sector protest against CBFC censorship demands for 'Janaki vs The State of Kerala,' emphasizing the need for creative freedom amidst religious pressures and censorship threats.

Kerala's film industry protests CBFC's title change demand for 'Janaki vs The State of Kerala' over censorship concerns.

Various associations from the Kerala film industry staged a protest on Monday in front of the regional office of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), opposing the board's demand to rename the Suresh Gopi-starrer Janaki vs The State of Kerala.
Producers, directors, actors, and technicians came together for the day-long protest, alleging that the CBFC chairman's (Prasoon Joshi) directive to change the film's title to secure censorship clearance was a serious infringement on freedom of expression and amounted to unnecessary religious censorship.
B Unnikrishnan, director, producer, and General Secretary of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA), told PTI Videos that while the decision to change a film's title rests with the producer, the protest was aimed at the larger issue of censorship and the violation of filmmakers' creative rights.
"They are raising objections based on the use of certain names and are refusing to issue censorship certificates. Cinema transcends religious or caste considerations, and we cannot allow this to continue," he added.
Unnikrishnan said that although the Malayalam film industry is not very large in terms of numbers, it "will not remain silent in the face of such attacks on creative freedom." CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam, who joined the protest in solidarity, said that Suresh Gopi&mdash;who is also a Minister of State in the Central Government&mdash;should reflect on how his government is "stifling freedom of expression".
Indrans, a National Award-winning actor, expressed his concern over the developments.
"I am scared. I do not know what awaits us when we bring out new films. It is frightening," he claimed.
Leading actors, directors, and producers from the Malayalam film fraternity participated in the day-long protest.
The Pravin Narayanan-directed film, also starring Anupama Parameswaran in the lead role, reportedly revolves around the legal battle of an assaulted woman named Janaki against the state.
According to sources, the film was denied screening clearance because &lsquo;Janaki&rsquo;, an alternative name for Goddess Sita, cannot be used for such a character.

The actor, who was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident, was produced before the Nampally court, which remanded him to a 14-day judicial custody which ended today. 

Theatre stampede case: Allu Arjun appears before court virtually, files regular bail petition

The actor, who was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident, was produced before the Nampally court, which remanded him to a 14-day judicial custody which ended today.

Top Telugu actor Allu Arjun, an accused in the case booked over the death of a woman in a stampede here during the premiere of his latest film 'Pushpa-2', appeared through a video conference before a local court on Friday.
Allu Arjun, who was named as accused no 11, also filed a regular bail petition in the court which may come up for hearing on December 30.
The actor, who was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident, was produced before the Nampally court, which remanded him to a 14-day judicial custody which ended today. He was to present himself before the court as part of further proceedings and he appeared through video conference.
Shortly after Allu Arjun was shifted to jail, the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail for four weeks (from December 13) and he was released from the jail on December 14.
A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was injured on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when fans jostled to have a glimpse of the actor at the premiere of the &lsquo;Pushpa 2&rsquo; movie.
Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on the complaint lodged by the deceased woman&rsquo;s family.

Crucial meeting between Telangana govt, Telugu film reps to ease 'soured' ties amid high stakes

Telangana State FDC chairman and leading producer Dil Raju on Wednesday said a delegation of film personalities would call on state Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy today to foster "healthy relations" between the government and the industry.

A crucial meeting between the Telangana government and Telugu film industry representatives is expected to be held on Thursday to thaw the speculated strained ties between the ruling dispensation and Tinseltown following the arrest of top actor Allu Arjun.
The 42-year-old star was arrested recently in connection with the stampede at a theatre here screening his latest movie "Pushpa: The Rule" which resulted in the death of a woman on December 4.
Telangana State Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman and leading producer Dil Raju on Wednesday said a delegation of film personalities would call on state Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy today to foster "healthy relations" between the government and the industry.
The meeting assumes significance amid Cinematography minister Komatireddi Venkat Reddy's statement that the state government, in future, may consider ticket price hikes only for certain categories such as films made on history, freedom struggle or anti-drugs or message-oriented.
The state government's stand came in the wake of the death of a 35-year-old woman at Sandhya Theatre here due to suffocation where the 'Pushpa 2' movie was screened on December 4.
The minister&rsquo;s statement, if really implemented, will have a huge impact on the high budget films such as Ram Charan&rsquo;s "Game Changer", Nandamuri Balakrishna's "Daaku Maharaj" and Venkatesh&rsquo;s "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" which are slated for release during Sankranti next year.
Directed by popular Director S Shankar, Game Changer was produced by Dil Raju. The film is reportedly made with a budget of nearly Rs 400 crore.
Though the Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce welcomed the government's decision that it will not allow benefit shows of movies in the state and also enhanced ticket prices will be done on a case-to-case basis, the move may not go down well with the production houses as they usually look to reap the benefits during the early day of the film release.
The meeting is being organised on behalf of the FDC, Dil Raju had said, adding, that he would act as a bridge between the government and the film fraternity.
Some ruling Congress leaders have found fault with Allu Arjun's comments last week, describing the stampede incident as purely accidental and denying the allegations made by CM Revanth Reddy on the "roadshow" before the film screening.
Hours after Reddy slammed the actor for holding a roadshow and waving to the crowds at the theatre, without referring to anyone, the 'Pushpa' star refuted the allegations, saying it was not a procession or a roadshow.
Allu Arjun was arrested by the city police in connection with the death of the woman on December 13.
The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day and he was released from a prison here on December 14 morning.

The case continues to spark debates on accountability, with the Opposition criticizing his arrest as politically motivated.
