Lakshmi Manchu teams up with Samantha Prabhu to release new song from Agninakshatram

After the whirlwind celebrations of her brother’s wedding with Mounika Bhuma, Lakshmi Manchu teams up with her long-standing comrade Samantha Prabhu to release a high-octane number, Telusa Telusa from her upcoming film Agninakshatram.

The song is about women empowerment and features Lakshmi and her daughter, Nirvana in it. Telusa Telusa will be attached to the rolling credits of the film.


Talking about the same, Lakshmi said, “My daughter features in the song, she has done a few cameos here and there with my brother Manoj but this is her first with me.  She is not shy in front of the camera. What is more empowering than you are making a song on women’s empowerment and you have your girl with you. When she grows up and sees this, she would know that I meant this. The beauty of this song is that we only speak of women empowerment and not a single word to put men down”.

Brinda master has choreographed Telusa Telusa featuring Lakshmi, her daughter, and many talented dancers. Achu Rajamani has composed the music for this song while the vocals are by noted singers, Sunitha Sarathy, Sireesha & Aditi Bhavaraju, and the lyrics are by the renowned Kasarla Shyam. Vamsee Krishna Malla has directed the film. Lakshmi has rapped for this song adding a lot of gusto to the track.

Speaking about her association with Samantha, Lakshmi said, “Samantha is the epitome of individuality. We as women in this industry got to do it on our own but I know Sam and her struggles and how she held herself together, anyone else would have crumbled. Even in her lows, Samantha has built herself up. She truly inspires me and the whole of the country & beyond. And what is more empowering to have a really empowered woman to release the song on women’s day”.

Commenting on Telusa Telusa Samantha Prabhu said, “I want to congratulate Lakshmi for coming up with this powerful song. Telusa Telusa will stay with us for days together, it is very inspiring. The visuals are also fabulous and distinct. I’m glad to present this meaningful song and hope that we are able to reach out to as many women as possible. A thundering applause to the entire team for giving us such a memorable number”.

Speaking about the song, Lakshmi said, “The visuals are all thanks to the one and only Brinda Master. I could not have imagined doing this song so powerful without her in the picture. What has come through is unbelievable. The cars that you see towards the end are together worth 60 crores, I’m not kidding and that is not even scratching the surface”.

The song is out now on YouTube.

Amanda Holden fronts new Netflix series on cheating, forgiveness and second chances

Amanda Holden is fronting a new Netflix series that puts relationships to the test in a way reality TV hasn’t quite done before. Cheat: Unfinished Business gathers eight couples at a villa in Majorca, all of them trying to pick up the pieces after cheating rocked their relationships.

This isn’t a show about swiping right or looking for love. It’s about what happens after the damage is done, and whether anything can actually be salvaged. Teaming up with relationship expert Paul C. Brunson, known for Married at First Sight UK, Holden helps guide couples through awkward conversations, emotional exercises and confrontations that go far beyond the usual reality drama. It's raw, and sometimes, painfully honest.

Malavika Mohanan slams South cinema’s ‘navel obsession’, opens up on years of body shaming

Malavika Mohanan, a prominent actress in Indian cinema, recently shed light on the body shaming and unrealistic beauty standards she has faced throughout her career in both Bollywood and South Indian films. In a candid interview, she opened up about her experience with criticism related to her body, which ranged from being too skinny to too curvy, and discussed how she struggled to meet the industry's expectations of female beauty.

Growing up in Mumbai, Malavika was initially taken aback by the intense focus on certain body features, particularly the navel, in South Indian cinema. "I had never seen such an obsession before," she admitted, highlighting how images of actresses on social media would zoom in on specific body parts. She described the emphasis on the navel as a "real thing" in the industry, which was completely new to her.
