Nagarjuna’s The Ghost On Shiva’s Date
Shiva is one of the most memorable classics in Nagarjuna’s career. The film indeed was a path-breaker in Tollywood. Coming to the actual point, Shiva’s date is chosen for the theatrical release of Nagarjuna’s upcoming movie The Ghost.
The Ghost will be arriving in cinemas on October 5th. On the same day, Shiva had its theatrical release on 1989. Curiously, both the movies are action entertainers. The announcement was made through The Ghost Killing Machine.
It’s actually a stunt sequence and Nagarjuna looks intense as he takes on the criminals. It’s a very well choreographed action sequence, we must say. It’s also evident through this video that The Ghost will have some breath-taking stunt sequences.
Praveen Sattaru is directing the movie that is in last phase of shooting. Sree Venkateshwara Cinemas and Northstar Entertainment together are producing the movie.
‘The Ghost’ makers announce release date for first visual
The makers of Nagarjuna’s next film ‘The Ghost’ vow to release a spine-chilling first trailer soon. The ‘FIRST VISUAL,’ which will be released on July 9, is likely to heighten the excitement surrounding Praveen Sattaru’s directorial debut.
‘The Ghost’ producers revealed the release date of the first episode of the action-packed suspense drama on their social media accounts. They also released a poster of Nagarjuna.
The image, which depicts Nagarjuna holding a weapon, was labeled “Unleashing The Killing Machine.” The poster’s background appears to be a fort or a massive European structure, with the blood moon in the backdrop.
Gearing up for its release soon. ‘The Ghost’ completed its entire shooting part, except for an action sequence. This action block will be canned soon and with that, it will be a wrap for the production part.
In this high-octane action entertainer, Nagarjuna plays an Interpol officer for the first time. With ‘The Ghost’, Praveen Sattaru is on a mission to provide the audience with a never-before-seen experience.
Sonal Chauhan is the female lead opposite Nagarjuna in the movie that also stars Gul Panag and Anikha Surendran in important roles.
Suniel Narang, along with Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, and Sharrath Marar is producing the film on Sree Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP and Northstar Entertainment Banners.
Makers of Nagarjuna-starrer ‘Ghost’ to go for direct OTT release
The forthcoming film ‘Ghost,’ starring Nagarjuna Akkineni, is expected to be released exclusively on the OTT platform. Directed by Praveen Sattaru, it is being sold to an OTT partner, and the producers intend to release it directly on the digital platform rather than go for a theatrical release.
It is also reported that the business for ‘Ghost’ has not been disclosed yet, as the makers are still looking to set a higher price to launch the movie on OTT. Lack of publicity, and hype around the movie are also considered the factors behind the maker’s decision to release the movie on OTT rather than in the theatres.
‘Ghost’ stars Kajal Agarwal and Sonal Chauhan as the female leads. Apart from an official poster, and some BTS pictures from the movie, the makers have kept everything else under wraps for now.
It’s an action-packed movie for which ‘Garuda Vega’ fame Praveen Sattaru has done the scripting as well as direction. The picture was scheduled to be released in theatres at the end of this year, but if it shifts to OTT, we might see it much sooner.
Hindi TV premiere of ‘Bangarraju’, starring Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya, on July 6
The Hindi premiere of Telugu blockbuster movie ‘Bangarraju’ is slated for July 6, on Zee Cinema. The movie, directed by Kalyan Krishna Kurasala, was released earlier during the Sankranti season in Telugu, creating much buzz at the theatres.
Now that the father-son — Naga Chaitanya and Nagarjuna — starrer is gearing up for its Hindi premieres, the duo has expressed their excitement.
Nagarjuna said that the fantasy-themed movie Bangarraju turned out to be a great hit, as it has all the aspects of entertainment in it.
“The audience determines whether a film succeeds or fails. Bangarraju is a movie made with the general public in mind. Women, children, and elders will find it enjoyable,” Nagarjuna said.
Nagarjuna went on to explain that “The idea of a regular person suddenly becoming a superhero in movies like Spiderman and Superman has always captivated me, and with our movie, we’re bringing that idea to the general public. It’s a fantasy-themed family entertainment with some incredibly astonishing components.”
The Manmadhudu actor also said that “Witnessing your child excel in their career makes you happy every time. Since Chaitanya has always been meticulous, I’ll admit I’m a little envious of his success in landing that position.”
Naga Chaitanya, on the other hand, expressed his happiness over the Hindi release of Bangarraju, “The hero of today’s movies is content, and we are finding our places in that. I’ve never played a part like the one I have in Bangarraju, so it was difficult at first, but I got used to it. ”
The Majili actor explained further: “You’ll appreciate viewing this movie with your family. It was enjoyable to play a game in a paranormal setting, and it was much more enjoyable to do it with my father. We have previously collaborated, therefore we are familiar with each other’s workspace.”

Vaishnavi Ganatra on sharing screen space with Nagarjuna Akkineni
Television actress Vaishnavi Ganatra enjoys sharing screen space with Nagarjuna Akkineni in Telugu film ‘The Ghost’. It features Nagarjuna Akkineni and Anikha Surendran.
The film is directed by Praveen Sattaru and is produced by Narayan Das K. Narang, Pushkar Ram Mohan Rao and Sharrath Marar while cinematography is by Mukesh G.
She says this comes as a great opportunity for her to share screen space with such big names: “So far in my career I have only done television shows and web series. Suddenly sharing even a little screen space with a stalwart like Nagarjuna Sir has been an enriching experience.
“After I gave my first shot in front of Nagarjuna Sir, he came up to me, patted me on my head and said, ‘Well done’,” she adds.
“It was very humbling to meet a mega star like Nagarjuna Sir. I learnt a lot from him and I can’t wait to share the screen with him once more. I am still dreaming big and hoping to achieve big,” she concludes.
Nagarjuna’s ‘partiality’ in new promo gets fans talking
In one of the recent episodes of ‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’, Actress Priya had an outburst on VJ Sunny, as he tried to defend his game.
This brought so much negativity to her, and the audience was convinced that the host Nagarjuna would school her for her bad behaviour at the Bigg Boss house.
The latest promo released features Nagarjuna hosting Saturday’s episode.
The promo hints at the host’s partial judgment, as he makes fun of VJ Sunny, instead of schooling actress Priya for her rude behaviour. Well, Nagarjuna is known for his seriousness when the housemates treat others in that tone, but this time, he fails to do so with Priya.
The viewers who got a hint at the episode, are upset, thinking that the host is taking Priya’s side by not addressing the real issue.
“Priya literally provoked Sunny all the while last week. As expected, women can yell at men. But, this host is okay if women foul-mouth about men”, one of the replies on Twitter reads.
“Sunny had undergone so much harassment. But, Nagarjuna is making fun of him without even being serious”, another tweet reads.
Actress Priya had yelled at Sunny, and warned him that she would break his mouth multiple times during the task. Nagarjuna, sliding off this matter is not well appreciated by the audience.
Nagarjuna to lock horns with Telugu biggies during Sankranti 2022
Telugu cinema’s top hero Akkineni Nagarjuna is repeating his partnership with the director Kalyan Krishna, with whom he had collaborated for the 2016 hit movie ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’, for their upcoming film ‘Bangarraju’.

Well, Nagarjuna won’t be alone when he takes on these movies. If the industry grapevine is to be believed, the ‘Bangarraju’ cast includes Ramya Krishna as Nagarjuna’s female lead, while Naga Chaitanya and Krithi Shetty play the other couple.
Nag’s long-delayed project back on track
King Nagarjuna scored his career’s biggest hit with Soggade Chinni Nayana. The actor announced a sequel for the project long ago and Kalyan Krishna was working on the script. Nag wasn’t convinced with the final draft because of which the project got delayed. The film titled Bangarraju is now back on track. Kalyan Krishna narrated the final script after making several changes as per the suggestions of Nag.
Nag is completely convinced with the final script and gave his nod. His home banner Annapurna Studios will produce Bangarraju and Naga Chaitanya would be seen in the other lead role. The project is expected to roll early next year and an official announcement about the same will be made very soon. Naga Chaitanya completed Love Story and he will join the sets of Thank You from December. The actor is expected to allocate the dates for Bangarraju next year.

It is especially important to plant sapling in these times of corona.Given the present scenario, it is really important that we take proper care of the environment. I appeal to all my fans to take up this challenge and voluntarily plant saplings. My father-in-law threw the green challenge and I have completed the same. I urge everyone to plant at least three saplings. The green challenge is a brilliant initiative to save our environment,” Samantha said.
After planting three saplings, Samantha threw the green challenge to her co-stars Keerthy Suresh and Rashmika Madanna.

Crucial summer for the Akkinenis
Akkineni Nagarjuna is in bad form and all his recent films ended up as disappointments. He badly needs a hit and the actor is busy with the shoot of Wild Dog, an action thriller that is directed by Solomon. The film is planned for summer release and an official announcement about the release date is awaited. Naga Chaitanya tasted his career’s best hit with Majili last year and his recent outing Venky Mama ended up as an average grosser.
He has all his hopes on Love Story that is planned for summer release. Sekhar Kammula is the director and Sai Pallavi is the leading lady. Akhil Akkineni tasted three disasters in his career and is yet to taste success. Allu Aravind took his responsibility and is producing Most Eligible Bachelor. Bommarillu Bhaskar is the director and Pooja Hegde is the leading lady. The film is slated for May 22nd release. All three Akkineni actors will test their luck during this summer and will have a crucial test during the holiday season.
Nagarjuna launching Srikanth son Roshan
Nagarjuna Akkineni is donning the producers cap once again. For a change hero will not be from their family. Nagarjuna is introducing a hero to the industry with this film. Roshan, son of hero Srikanth will be seen as hero in this film. Roshan is the son of Srikanth and yesteryears leading lady Ooha. This film is titled Nirmala Convent. This is an interesting move considering the fact that Annapoorna studios seldom produces movies which do not have any star who is not related to the Akkineni family. First look posters, teaser and cast and crew detaila of this film will be revealed very soon.
