Now, the movie is making its way to OTT just 20 days after its theatrical release. Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for this pan-India action thriller, and the film is now available in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil. This quick move to the digital platform is noteworthy, as OTT giants like Amazon Prime and G5 usually dominate the market for Kannada films. However, Netflix has shown an increasing interest in Kannada cinema and has acquired several films in the past, and Bagheera is now part of this exclusive list.

Directed by Dr. Suri, Bagheera features a strong supporting cast including Prakash Raj, Achyut Kumar, Rangayana Raghu, and Garuda Ram, along with Sri Murali and Rukmini Vasanth. The film is produced by Hombale Films, known for their high-budget productions. The music was composed by Ajanish Loknath, adding to the film’s intense atmosphere.

While the movie has performed decently at the box office in Kannada, its reception in Telugu was lukewarm due to an emphasis on action over a compelling storyline, which led to disappointing expectations. For Telugu audiences, the film’s action-heavy narrative failed to strike a chord, but for fans of high-intensity action sequences, Bagheera offers plenty to enjoy.

However, the actress recently made headlines not for her cinematic achievements but for her comments targeting Dhanush, a prominent actor in Kollywood. In a strongly-worded letter posted on Instagram, Nayanthara accused Dhanush of creating hurdles in the release of her wedding documentary.

Nayanthara alleged that Dhanush demanded ₹10 crore for allowing the use of a mere three-second clip from their film Naanum Rowdy Thaan in the documentary. This claim has sparked a significant uproar in the Tamil film industry. Her letter not only brought attention to the issue but also triggered widespread reactions from fans and colleagues alike.

The controversy revolves around the Netflix release of Nayanthara’s wedding video with director Vignesh Shivan. The trailer for the documentary, which showcases glimpses of their love story and grand wedding, was already well-received by fans. However, Dhanush’s alleged demands have reportedly delayed its release.

Nayanthara’s Instagram post gained substantial support from fellow actresses and industry professionals. Celebrities such as Anupama Parameswaran, Shruti Haasan, Aishwarya Lakshmi, Dia Mirza, and Ekta Kapoor showed their solidarity by liking her post. This act is seen as their indirect opposition to Dhanush’s stance in the matter.

The allegations have ignited debates in Kollywood about professional ethics and the impact of personal disputes on creative projects. While Dhanush has yet to respond publicly to the accusations, industry insiders speculate that this controversy may strain relationships within the Tamil film fraternity.

As fans eagerly await the release of the wedding documentary, this incident sheds light on the complexities of collaborations in the entertainment industry. Nayanthara’s journey, which started with her debut in Manassinakkare and saw her rise to stardom with films like Chandramukhi and Lakshmi, is a testament to her resilience and talent. This controversy is a reminder that even the brightest stars face challenges beyond the spotlight.

The coming days are expected to bring more clarity to the situation as fans and the media await Dhanush’s response. Until then, the Nayanthara-Dhanush saga continues to dominate discussions in Kollywood and beyond.

Interestingly, this is not the first time that the theme of plane hijackings has been explored in movies and series. Films like ‘Hijack’ (2008) on Netflix, ‘Bell Bottom’ (1980) on Amazon Prime Video, and ‘Neerja’ (2016) on Disney Plus Hotstar have also captured the dramatic narratives of such incidents.

‘Bell Bottom,’ starring Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Vaani Kapoor, Zain Khan Durrani, and Momita Moitra, revisits a true event from 1980 involving a plane hijack. The film provides a cinematic retelling of the passengers’ ordeal during the crisis.

On the other hand, ‘Neerja,’ featuring Sonam Kapoor and Shabana Azmi, pays homage to the courageous Neerja Bhanot, an air hostess who sacrificed her life to save passengers during the Pan Am Flight 73 hijacking in 1986.

The film ‘Hijack’ starring Shiny Ahuja and Esha Deol, directed by Krunal Shivdasani, focuses on the Indian Airlines Flight 814 hijack where terrorists took control of a plane in Dubai.

Moreover, other notable films like ‘Gaganam,’ ‘IB71,’ ‘Chor Nikhale Ka Bhaga,’ ‘Yodha,’ and ‘Zameen’ have also explored themes related to plane hijackings, showcasing diverse perspectives on these intense and gripping events.

As viewers engage with these narratives, discussions on the portrayal of sensitive subjects like terrorism and hijackings continue to evolve, highlighting the intersection of art, history, and public discourse in the realm of entertainment.

The movie, starring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles, was directed by Ajay Bahl. Hopes were high for this project, but the reality turned out to be far from expectations. The release of “The Lady Killer” was marred by delays and production issues, ultimately leading to its catastrophic performance at the box office.

Even Bollywood stalwart Boney Kapoor’s son, Arjun Kapoor, couldn’t salvage the movie with his star power. Known more for his personal life than his film career, Arjun Kapoor faced a major setback with this film. Despite talks of digital streaming rights with platforms like Netflix, the movie’s dismal performance meant that it had to be released for free on YouTube.

With only 12 shows nationwide and abysmal earnings of Rs. 45 thousand, “The Lady Killer” stands as a cautionary tale in the history of Indian cinema. The film’s release on YouTube has sparked mixed reactions, with netizens expressing their disappointment and trolling the movie online.

On December 24, 1999, a flight traveling from Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi fell victim to a hijacking orchestrated by Pakistani terrorists. With 190 passengers onboard, the flight, known as ‘IC 814’, made stops in Amritsar, Lahore, and Dubai before landing in Kandahar, Afghanistan on December 25. The hijackers demanded the release of Pakistani terrorists held in Indian jails, a traumatic event that inspired the creation of the web series ‘IC814: The Kandahar Hijack’.

The series has come under fire for altering the names of the terrorists involved in the hijacking, portraying them as Bhola and Shankar instead of their actual identities. This deviation from reality has not been well-received by viewers, who feel that it disrespects the sentiments of Hindus. Director Anubhav Sinha and Netflix’s content chief have been called upon to explain the rationale behind this decision, leading to further scrutiny and demands for clarity from the public.

Amidst the ongoing controversy, the hashtag ‘Boycott Bollywood’ has resurfaced on social media, reflecting the discontent among netizens and raising questions about the portrayal of sensitive historical events in entertainment media.

Despite high expectations, “Mr. Bachchan” received mixed reviews from the audience from its initial screenings. While it struggled to leave a significant mark at the box office, Ravi Teja’s dynamic performance, Bhagyashree’s charm, captivating songs, and thrilling action sequences managed to garner moderate collections.

Amidst the lukewarm theatrical response, the news broke that Netflix secured the digital streaming rights for “Mr. Bachchan.” The deal, reportedly worth around twenty-five crores for the southern languages, was finalized even before the movie’s release.

Given the underwhelming theatrical run, plans are underway to bring “Mr. Bachchan” to OTT platforms at the earliest, aiming for a release on Netflix from September 12. An official announcement regarding this transition is expected in the first week of September.

Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibotla under the People’s Media Factory banner, “Mr. Bachchan” boasts a stellar cast including Jagapathi Babu as the antagonist, along with notable performances by comedian Satya, Praveen, Jhunsi, Sachin Khedkar, Chammak Chandra, and others in significant roles.
