Nagarjuna Akkineni’s Wild Dog set to enter theatres on April 2

The makers of Wild Dog today announced that they have locked the date for the theatrical release of the much-awaited Telugu film. Starring Nagarjuna in the lead role, the film will arrive in theatres on April 2, 2021. The makers also revealed that they will drop the theatrical trailer of the film on March 10.


While speaking at the press conference of his upcoming film, Nagarjuna said, “I was surprised when I first heard the title. But I was convinced by director Ashishor Solomon’s reasoning. Wild Dog in the jungle can hunt anything. They don’t give up. The film will see that kind of a game. Moreover, my character has a nickname of Wild Dog.”

Wild Dog, which marks the directorial debut of Ashishor Solomon, was earlier set for a direct-to-digital release on Netflix. The streamer had bought the film from the makers for a whopping price of 270 million.

However, since Telugu films are attracting a huge number of audiences to theatres after a long dry spell owing to the Coronavirus pandemic, the makers cancelled the deal with the streaming media giant and decided to release the film in cinemas instead.

Talking about the same, Nagarjuna said, “The film’s shoot was completed in November last year. Back then, I was not sure whether people would return to cinema halls like before. So, I had agreed to a direct-OTT release and our producer made a good deal with Netflix. But looking at the success of Krack (2021) in January and Uppena (2021) in February, we became confident about Wild Dog’s theatrical success and we pulled ourselves out of the Netflix deal.”

Directed by Ashishor Solomon, the film also stars Dia Mirza, Saiyami Kher, and Atul Kulkarni in important roles.

Ajith's Vidaamuyarchi: Reviewers call movie a mixed bag of thrills and missed opportunities

Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi, directed by Magizh Thirumeni, has sparked a mixed bag of contrasting reactions since hitting theatres. The film attempts to fuse the nerve-wracking tension of Hollywood thrillers with the high-energy appeal of Tamil cinema, resulting in what can be called a cinematic cocktail that’s as intriguing as it is polarising. While many viewers praise its departure from formulaic storytelling, others find its execution uneven and even overly ambitious.



The praise
Many reviewers have applauded Vidaamuyarchi for breaking away from the typical “mass hero” template that we saw in Ajith’s recent films like Valimai and Thunivu. Gone are the days of over-the-top family sentiments, forced comedy, and preachy dialogues. Vidaamuyarchi opts for a slower, more atmospheric narrative, drawing comparisons to Western thrillers. The deliberate pacing, though again divisive, has been commended for its ability to build tension and offer a refreshing change from the usual high-octane Tamil blockbusters.

Kylie Minogue marks 20 years since cancer diagnosis with heartfelt World Cancer Day message

“February 4 is World Cancer Day,” she wrote. “I’m sending all my love and support to anyone and everyone affected by cancer and want to offer a gentle reminder… If you or anyone you know has concerns, make an appointment to see your healthcare provider. And if it’s time for your check-ups, you know what to do!” She signed off with a heart emoji and her signature “X.”

Minogue’s journey with cancer began in May 2005 when she was diagnosed at 36. Just days later, she underwent a lumpectomy and began chemotherapy, which she later described as “experiencing a nuclear bomb.” Though declared cancer-free in 2006, she has spoken openly about the huge impact of the experience.
