Actor Vijay Deverakonda is currently busy with three projects in the pipeline, one of which is from the producer Dil Raju. Rowdy Janardhana is the title of this film, which was recently leaked by the producer himself. The film, directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, has politics as its main background.

The team is wrapping up the cast, and initially, there is the news about Rukmini Vasanth playing the leading lady in the film. But recently, news about signing NTRNeel and being unable to take up any other movies has been doing rounds. We have learned that Rukmini is not part of this film anymore. “We approached Keerthy Suresh recently, and she said yes. All the formalities have been finished, and the shoot is likely to start in May,” said the production manager.

Also, as per IdleBrain, Keerthy has shown interest in working with Vijay.

During a recent press meet for the movie Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, producer Dil Raju accidentally confirmed that VD13 will be titled Rowdy Janardhana. “Vijay Deverakonda starrer Rowdy Janardhana and Nithiin’s next, Yellamma, are beginning to shoot in April or May,” he said while discussing his upcoming films as a producer.

What happens when South Indian cinematic brilliance collides with the poetic soul of Bengali literature? You get a masterpiece like Shyam Singha Roy. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, this 2021 Telugu blockbuster is more than just a film—it’s an experience. With Nani in a dual role and Sai Pallavi’s spellbinding portrayal of a devadasi, this movie has captured hearts while seamlessly blending two rich cultural worlds. So, let’s dive deeper into how Shyam Singha Roy merges South Indian filmmaking finesse with Bengali literary grandeur.

A Tale of Two Worlds

The story of Shyam Singha Roy alternates between two timelines, set in the present day and the 1960s. In the contemporary setting, Vasu, an aspiring filmmaker, struggles to make a name for himself. But when his script unexpectedly thrusts him into a legal battle, it unravels the life of Shyam Singha Roy, a revolutionary Bengali writer from decades ago.

Last week marked the fifth anniversary of the movie Dear Comrade, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda. Released in 2019, this film tells the story of Bobby, a student politician dealing with anger issues, and his transformative relationship with Lilly. While the film was widely praised by audiences, many are unaware that Vijay Deverakonda’s mother had a cameo in the movie.

Vijay Deverakonda’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, made a brief appearance in Dear Comrade. She played a college lecturer in one of the scenes. Her role was subtle and brief, making it easy for viewers to miss her connection to Vijay Deverakonda. As a result, her cameo went largely unnoticed by most of the audience.

On the fifth anniversary of Dear Comrade, Rashmika Mandanna shared her reflections on the memorable moments during the film’s making.

InterviewRahul also tells Tnm that the team was initially worried when Nayanthara's 'Dora' bore resemblance to the film.Haricharan PudipeddiFacebook/Rahul SankrityaVijay Deverakonda’s Taxiwaala, a supernatural comedy that’s powered by an intelligent science-fiction core, has struck gold at the box-office.

So, let's assume the movie makes a massive assumption that it is possible to separate the soul from the body. Did it stay consistent, at least to that premise? Simple answer: No. Taxiwaala is Rahul Sankrityan's second movie, a fact that should exonerate him to a certain extent. Bankrolled by Uv Creations and Geetha Arts, the movie starts out with the usual Vijay Deverakonda styling, which is imposed on us movie after move – so confusing off-late, considering the amount of PR Vijay has going for himself,...
