Denis Villeneuve's science-fiction epic “Dune” has won four Academy Awards, even before the broadcast kicked off.

Allu Arjun is gearing up for Atlee's next film, tentatively titled "AA22xA6", undergoing a significant physical transformation guided by celebrity trainer Lloyd Stevens. Stevens shared a glimpse of Arjun's intense workout session on Instagram. The film, produced by Sun Pictures, is generating buzz with world-class technicians praising the script's potential.

Atlee’s next directorial venture with Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone is already being hailed as one of the biggest upcoming Indian films. The project, tentatively titled AA22 x A6, has been the subject of immense buzz ever since its announcement — first when Allu Arjun came on board, and later when Deepika joined the cast. Now, Atlee has opened up about the film’s progress and creative vision, promising audiences a cinematic experience that will be “addictive to watch.”

After years of speculation, producer Dil Raju has confirmed that the much-anticipated film ‘Icon’ will no longer star Allu Arjun. The film, which was originally announced before the release of Pushpa, has been in limbo due to the actor’s packed schedule and increasing market demand post-Pushpa’s massive success.

South Indian cinema is partnering with international studios for visual effects. Filmmakers are collaborating with global VFX houses to enhance film quality. 'Toxic' collaborates with DNEG, known for 'Dune: Part Two'. S S Rajamouli's 'SSMB29' involves Hollywood studios for VFX. Allu Arjun and Atlee consult with Hollywood VFX experts for 'AA22xA6'. Chiranjeevi's 'Vishwambhara' allocates a significant budget for VFX.

The 94th Academy Awards kicked off with Beyoncé, a string of awards handed out off-camera to Denis Villeneuve's science-fiction epic "Dune" and a trio of Oscars hosts in Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall.

Dark Western "The Power of the Dog" scooped the top two honours at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, winning best film and director for Jane Campion, while sci-fi epic "Dune" picked up the most prizes.
