Among the five films releasing this week, Korean Kanakaraju has emerged as one of the most anticipated releases, thanks to its effective promotional campaign. Starring Varun Tej in the lead role alongside Ritika Nayak, the horror-comedy is directed by Merlapaka Gandhi and is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on August 7, 2026.

The makers have officially opened advance bookings across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and overseas markets. The initial response has been encouraging, indicating the strong buzz the film has generated ahead of its release.

Blending horror with comedy, Korean Kanakaraju has managed to pique the audience’s interest through its intriguing promotional content and entertaining premise. Besides the lead pair, the film also features Satya, Daksha Nagarkar, and several other actors in pivotal roles.

Produced by UV Creations in association with First Frame Entertainment, the film features music composed by Thaman.

One of the most-awaited Indian films, Varanasi, directed by the legendary SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, is back in the headlines for an interesting reason.

Mahesh Babu will celebrate his birthday on August 9, and as is customary in the Telugu film industry, fans are eagerly hoping for a special treat from the makers. With Varanasi reportedly 80% complete, expectations for a glimpse or teaser are naturally sky-high.

However, reports suggest fans may have to brace for a slight disappointment. While many were hoping for a glimpse, the makers are reportedly planning to unveil only a normal birthday poster featuring Mahesh Babu.

The decision appears to be a calculated one. Rajamouli is known for carefully timing every promotional move, and he reportedly wants to save the film’s biggest reveals for the right moment rather than rushing out an update for the occasion. So, fans may be better off keeping their expectations in check this time.

Meanwhile, Rajamouli and his team are working relentlessly to complete the film ahead of its worldwide release on April 7, 2027.

Joining Mahesh Babu in this ambitious globetrotting adventure are Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles. The film is jointly produced by KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya, with Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani scoring the music for what is shaping up to be one of the biggest Indian cinematic events in recent years.
