This post shares official posters teasing the #KHxRH film, a historic reunion of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan after 46 years, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar with music by Anirudh Ravichander.

Produced by Red Giant Movies and presented by Udhayanidhi Stalin, the project builds hype through a promo video scheduled for theaters and online release on February 21, 2026, at 12:07 PM IST.

Amid widespread Kollywood buzz, it highlights the film's potential as a pan-India blockbuster, drawing from the directors' and composer's prior successes in Jailer, Vikram, and Beast.

The post features a collage of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu in his long-haired, bearded look as Lord Ram from SS Rajamouli's upcoming film Varanasi, which surfaced on a Guntur theatre hoarding and quickly went viral today.

The image shows Babu at a red-carpet-style event amid TV frames, emphasizing his stylish green sweater and khaki pants for a modern twist on the mythological character.

This reveal fuels anticipation for Varanasi's summer 2026 release, marking Rajamouli's post-RRR project and Babu's return to epic roles after Guntur Kaaram.

The post features an artistic black-and-white triptych portrait of Tamil actor Chiyaan Vikram in profile, shrouded in mist, highlighting his intense, brooding persona amid recent announcements.

The Aadu franchise, starting with the 2015 cult hit Aadu, features chaotic humor centered on a stolen goat chase, grossing ₹35.65 crore across two films despite initial mixed box office reception.

Midhun Manuel Thomas's recent success with the 2024 thriller Abraham Ozler heightens anticipation for his return to the series' signature slapstick style, as teased in the vibrant first-look poster showing explosive ensemble action.

The film, announced in late 2024, marks Selvaraghavan's return to romantic storytelling after action-oriented projects like "NGK," with recent interviews highlighting GV Prakash's dual role as a demanding producer yet prolific composer.

The attached 37-second teaser video showcases moody, rain-drenched urban visuals of the leads in intimate moments, blending neon aesthetics and orchestral swells to evoke emotional depth ahead of the movie's theatrical rollout.

This post shares three distinct looks of Hiphop Tamizha Adhi from the just-released title teaser of Meesaya Murukku 2, depicting his character in 1980s retro style and modern casual attire to reflect the film's dual timelines.

The sequel, directed and starring Adhi in his feature debut behind the camera, continues the original 2017 semi-autobiographical tale of a musician's journey, now tackling prejudice in Indian classical music circles, with a mid-2026 release planned.

Posted on Adhi's birthday, the teaser featuring new cast like Chaithra J Achar has generated buzz, with fans praising energetic music nods to late Vivek while others debate its shift toward social messaging.

The post shares a candid photo of Kamal Haasan greeting Sivakarthikeyan (SK), his wife Aarthi, and their young son Pavan, showcasing a warm, personal interaction between the veteran actor and the rising star's family.

Fan reactions in replies mix humor—like comparing Dhruv to actor Allu Sirish—with affectionate nods to their bond, driving 1,000+ likes and 20,000+ views in under an hour.

The February 20, 2026, theatrical release of "Second Case of Seetharam," a Kannada crime thriller starring Gopalkrishna Deshpande as detective Seetharam, alongside Vijay Raghavendra and Usha Bandhary.

As the third installment in the Seetharam series—following "Seetharam Benoy Case" (2022) and "Case of Kondana" (2023)—the film, directed by Deviprasad Shetty, explores a psychotic murder hunt in Anegadde intertwined with the inspector's quest to reconnect with his lost sister.

Early reviews highlight its introspective slow-burn narrative and strong performances, particularly Raghavendra's, though initial buzz remains modest with under 40 likes and sparse promotional echoes across cinema accounts.

Recent web sources confirm his packed slate, including 2025 releases like "Sarzameen" with Kajol and a 2026 directorial debut starring brother Indrajith, aligning with the post's emphasis on his acting-directing versatility.
