Under DCP Yogesh Goutam’s eye, cops raided 39 farmhouses in Mudimyal and Tolkatta — and the scene was straight out of a wild movie! From drugs and gambling to rave parties and obscene gatherings, Hyderabad’s outskirts seem to be turning into party zones gone wrong. A disturbing trend, violations are becoming all too common in Hyderabad’s outskirts.
Launch gone wrong
Hyderabad’s so-called it-spot launch — Asembli — was anything but classy! The grand opening turned into total chaos with rude bouncers, lost waiters, and a valet mess that had guests losing their cool. To make it worse, some staff were caught ogling at women — and the much-hyped Thaman performance never happened! The star just showed up as a guest. With all that drama, the only thing truly assembled that night was disaster!
London calling
All eyes on Dr. Krishna Prasad Chigurupati, who’s been honoured as the IOD Distinguished Fellow 2025 at the London Global Convention! The visionary continues to make India — and Hyderabad — shine globally. He’s one of those silent billionaires who lets his work do the talking, doesn’t flaunt himself on insta like others.
Balayya goes solo — again!!
While Chiru, Nag, and Venky are game for multi-starrers, Balakrishna isn’t budging. The Nandamuri hero turned down a role in Jailer 2, saying he’s still a solo crowd-puller. Even sharing screen space with Rajinikanth didn’t tempt him!
Balayya prefers sticking to Telugu cinema — no Kollywood dreams, no crossover hype. In an era of pan-India madness, he’s proudly staying local and loyal!
He’s right, all the other heroes who jumped the fence realised it wasn’t worth it. Jr NTR flopped, Nagarjuna didn’t benefit by acting as a villain in Rajnikanth starrer, the list goes on.
Same faces, new launch
The joke doing the rounds in social circles is that every city event features the same set of perfectly turned-out socialites — striking identical poses, just at different venues! There seem to be about a dozen of them making the rounds so religiously that those launching their brands are beginning to wonder — does this city have no one else?
Battle of the star wives!
Word has it there’s a quiet undercurrent among Tollywood heroes’ wives. In their minds, each believes her husband is the real superstar — but a certain star wife’s constant promotion of her man as the “number one” seems to have ruffled a few feathers.
Well, ladies, no one’s stopping you! In fact, thanks to a bit of healthy competition, the others are now stepping up too — turning up at parties, glamming up for events, and flooding social media with their own picture-perfect moments.
Rashmika & Vijay’s big fat Udaipur wedding!
The buzz is getting louder and the whispers are turning into wedding bells — Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are reportedly set to say “I do” in the first week of February, amid the royal charm of Udaipur! Insiders hint at an intimate but ultra-glam celebration, with just family and close friends on the guest list. Details are hush-hush, but the industry is already calling it Tollywood’s most stylish and swoon-worthy wedding yet!

What is the cost of having Priyanka Chopra act in SS Rajamouli’s film with Mahesh Babu? Apart from a phenomenal fee, her multiple visits to Hyderbad must be costing the poor producer a bomb!
