South Film Industry Controversies Unveiled ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

2024 was a year full of great films and considerable controversy. While fans witnessed some memorable moments in the South Indian film industry, they also saw significant controversies. From Nayanthara’s feud with Dhanush to Ar Rahman and his wife getting divorced, netizens experienced plenty of drama this year. As 2025 is just around the corner, let us look back at the most significant controversies that shocked everyone.

1. Arshad Warsi’s ‘joker’ comment on Prabhas

The controversy between Arshad Warsi and Prabhas started after the Bollywood star called the latter’s character in Kalki 2898 Ad a “joker.” This upset fans and the Telugu film industry alike. Warsi later clarified his comment was about the character and not Prabhas.

Ani quoted him saying, “Everybody has their point of view, and people like to interpret noise. I spoke about the character, not the person. He (Prabhas) is a brilliant actor.

Buckle up, folks! The South Indian film industry is gearing up for what promises to be a cinematic storm. S. Shankar’s Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, isn’t just another movie—it’s gonna be the movie of 2025. From jaw-dropping action to an intriguing political drama, this film is all set to dominate screens and conversations alike.

The Plot Thickens

Game Changer isn’t just another action flick. It’s a high-stakes political drama where Ram Charan steps into the shoes of a fearless Ias officer determined to clean up a corrupt system. With Shankar’s reputation for delivering socially relevant blockbusters, this movie is expected to pack a punch not just with its action sequences but also with its thought-provoking storyline​. Inspired by a narrative from acclaimed writer Karthik Subbaraj, the movie aims to explore themes of justice, power, and the fight for change in a society riddled with corruption.

The new romantic song ‘NaNaa Hyraanaa’ from the Ram Charan and Kiara Advani starrer Game Changer was released recently.

Many fans have been criticizing the VFX and the color grading of the song.

After Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, Ram Charan’s Game Changer is said to be a potential blockbuster from Tollywood. The magnum opus is scheduled to hit theatres in January next year, and fans are eagerly waiting for it.

After the massive success of Rrr, huge expectations are pinned on Ram Charan led Game Changer. The political action drama directed by S Shankar is scheduled for a Sankranti 2025 release. We hear the team is going all out, splurging 40 crores on two songs, among other big expenses. Scroll below for all the details!

Game Changer features Bollywood beauty Kiara Advani as the leading lady. The supporting cast features Anjali, Samuthirakani, S J Suryah, Srikanth and Sunil. There remains massive anticipation around the film, which marks Ram’s 15th outing as a lead actor.

Unexpected increase in budget!

Ram Charan & Kiara Advani starrer was planned to be made on a budget of 250 crores. As per multiple reports, Director Shankar took charge and completely changed the crew without informing producer Dil Raju. Another schedule of 45 days was planned but canceled at the last moment.

Karan Johar’s directorial debut was released alongside David Dhawan’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan on October 16, 1998. I was enchanted by Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s virgin language, colours, textures. I saw the film twice in the same week. I don’t think Karan has directed a better film than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Except, maybe, My Name Is Khan. Kajol-Shah Rukh’s chemistry was so removed from what lead pairs generally share. But the real star of the show were the two kids Sana Saeed and Parzan Dastur as Anjali and the silent Sardarji.

Karan, it is 26 years of his debut film?

Rupert Murdoch is going against Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ in the UK, with the launch over here of the Tubi streaming service.

Over five years since he sold his 21st Century Fox empire – including the much-missed 20th Century Fox film studio – to Disney, Rupert Murdoch is having another bash at the movie market. Well, sort of.

In the US, his Fox Corporation has owned a service by the name of Tubi, that has been doing battle with Netflix and its ilk for the last few years. Tubi has just shy of 80 million users a month, with its key attraction being that it’s completely free. The money comes from advertising.

The plan now is to launch the service in the UK, and it’ll be bringing with it – according to the blurb – some 20,000 films and TV series. Tubi has licenced films and shows from the likes of Sony, Universal, Lionsgate and – ironically enough – Disney.

Three new films will compete at the Tollywood box office this weekend: Gangs of Godavari, starring Vishwak Sen; Bhaje Vaayu Vegam, starring Kartikeya; and Gam Gam Ganesha, starring Anand Deverakonda.

These releases are crucial for the lead actors striving for success at the Tollywood Box Office. Vishwak Sen aims to enhance his standing as a mass hero with Gangs of Godavari, while Anand Deverakonda seeks to capitalize on his previous hit, Baby, and avoid being labeled a one-hit-wonder. Kartikeya, whose last film, Bedurulanka 2012, had a lukewarm reception, hopes to make a mark with Bhaje Vaayu Vegam and carve out a space for himself in the industry.

All three Tollywood films have been heavily promoted, generating anticipation among audiences. While each film has its own unique appeal, none are expected to overshadow the others completely. Positive word-of-mouth could potentially propel all three to success.
