Bollywood actress Pooja Hegde reveals insights on the project she considers closest to her heart.

Amidst this moving father-son narrative, a touching love story also weaves itself. The moving background score by RR Dhruvan adds richness to this powerful tale, webpage while Vasu Pendem’s cinematography beautifully showcases the essence of rural Telangana. Brahmaji portrays a father grappling with the weight of his responsibilities to his children while navigating the severe setbacks from farming and the demands from loan sharks. The film is set to debut in theaters worldwide on Feb 21, 2025. Senior character artist Brahmaji fronts in the upcoming village-centric drama, "Baapu." The film's official trailer unveiled on Wednesday evening and has earned a enthusiastic response from moviegoers. The "Baapu" trailer presents an emotional journey, effectively capturing the struggles faced by an agrarian family in a isolated Telangana village in Telangana. Directed by Daya and produced by Raju and Bhanu Prasad Reddy under the Comrade Film Factory banner, "Baapu" features a impressive cast, including Amani, Sudhakar Reddy, Dhanya Balakrishna, Mani Aegurla, and Avasarala Srinivas in important roles. In response to the cyberbullying, Ashwath addressed the online detractors in a latest interview, stating, "I watched Don two years ago, just like you. The hotly anticipated youth film Dragon, featuring in the primary role, is poised for its debut on February 21st. With Pradeep already having a 100-crore film under his belt, why would you assume I'd recreate Don?" The director further reinforced the original approach behind Dragon, saying, "My storytelling integrity is essential. Just yesterday evening, the film's promo trailer was dropped, quickly becoming a subject of online chatter as some moviegoers noted parallels to Sivakarthikeyan’s hit Don. We’ve carefully kept a significant twist under wraps to enhance the audience experience in theaters." Ashwath is certain, asserting that those targeting the movie will likely revise their opinions post-release, promising unexpected moments that set Dragon apart. After the success of Oh My Kadavule, people praised my work. Critics highlighted similarities in features such as the protagonist's laid-back demeanor, the university backdrop, the romantic angle, and the hero’s family struggles, drawing similarities to Don. While Don revolves around a carefree university student ultimately achieving greatness, Dragon presents a completely different narrative. Notably, Dragon will also be coming to Telugu audiences under the title Return of the Dragon. He also teased that his collaboration with Simbu is on track to be unique. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, best known for Oh My Kadavule, the film also stars actress Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar as the female leads. The Malayalam action thriller Identity, starring Tovino Thomas, the graceful Trisha Krishnan, and Vinay Rai, known for his versatility, is creating a buzz.

Along with the theatrical release, it was revealed that Identity will stream on ZEE5 starting on January 31, 2025. Produced by the dynamic Century Films and Ragam Movies, Identity features a gripping soundtrack composed by Jakes Bejoy. Viewers can look forward to watching the film in multiple languages, including Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, with only under a month separating the big screen release and the streaming premiere.

To heighten excitement among Nani’s fans, the production team is gearing up to release an special preview shortly. If everything goes smoothly, audiences can look forward to the glimpse to drop on February 20, 2025.

Nani and director Srikanth Odela are collaborating once again for their highly anticipated project, *The Paradise*, which is being billed as one of the most intense films under development. Star actress Pooja Hegde faced backlash after wrongly referring to the Telugu film *Ala Vaikuntapurramulo* as a regional movie, resulting in significant trolling from Telugu audiences. At this time, she has not publicly addressed the issue. I'm sharing this even though I haven't seen the complete movie yet, as it is now in the editing phase," she stated. "I am proud of all my films, but *Retro* stands out as the one I am most passionate about. With its release scheduled for May 1, expectations are high for *Retro* to bring about success for both Suriya and Hegde. In a new interview, Hegde shared her pride in the upcoming film *Retro*, starring Suriya. Pooja mentioned that her role in *Retro* happened after director Karthik Subbaraj was impressed with her emotional performance in Prabhas' *Radhe Shyam*. The romantic drama, infused with action elements, will also feature Shriya Saran in a guest dance number. The energy on set was infectious, and my character is well crafted. In this film, Suriya portrays a gangster who sacrifices everything for the woman he loves. The film is produced by Jyotika and Suriya under the banner of 2D Entertainment. I cherish every aspect of the film—the way we filmed it and brought it to life. Supporting roles are played by Joju George, Jayaram, and Karunakaran, while Santosh Narayan provides the musical score.
