It is without a doubt that Mammootty is considered the Megastar of the Malayalam film industry. Despite being 72, he is still the biggest star in Kerala and is regarded as one of the biggest names in South India. He has announced that his upcoming film ‘Turbo’ will be hitting the screens on 13th June. It is reportedly a thrilling action drama directed by Vysakh.

Including ‘Turbo’, Mammootty has lined up five movies in just 7 months which is astonishing. Considering the fact that he is 71, his dominance at the box office is something to marvel at. He was seen a few months back in ‘Kannur Squad’ which was a blockbuster and he arrived with a horror movie like ‘Bramayugam’ which was another super hit in recent times.

He even did a thought-provoking film like ‘Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam’ and did ‘Kaathal’ too. His performance win ‘Ozler’ was praised many in recent times. He is not showing any signs of slowing down and he is constantly exploring new storylines and genres.

He is pushing boundaries and giving chances to new directors as well. While many choose to play safe roles at his age, he is constantly proving everyone wrong and trying one unconventional character after another which is earning him a lot of respect from the public. Let us hope that he ends up entertaining the viewers more and more in the coming years.

Ileana D’Cruz, who once captivated the hearts of Tollywood audiences with blockbuster movies like ‘Pokiri’ and ‘Jalsa’, recently made her comeback in Bollywood after a three-year hiatus following the birth of her first child. Her return to the big screen was marked by two films, ‘Tera Kya Hoga Lovely’ and the recently released ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’.

‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’, starring Vidya Balan, Prateek Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Senthil Ramamurthy, hit the theatres on April 19. However, the film faced tough competition from Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Love S*ex Aur Dhokha 2’, also featuring Vidya Balan and Prateek Gandhi. Despite the star-studded cast and the directorial efforts of Shirsha Guha Thakurta, ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ fell short of expectations, earning approximately Rs 50 lakhs on its opening day with a 9.10% Hindi occupancy.

On the other hand, ‘Love Se*x Aur Dhokha 2’ managed to secure only Rs 15 lakhs on its first day, with a 5.48% Hindi occupancy. Directed by Dibakar Banerjee and produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures, the film stands out for breaking stereotypes and highlighting the realities of today’s generation. Despite her best efforts in Bollywood, Ileana’s recent films have not met the desired success.

Her last appearance in Tollywood was in Ravi Teja’s ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ in 2018, directed by Srinu Vaitla, which also failed to make a mark at the box office. With her recent Bollywood endeavors facing challenges, it seems Ileana might need to revisit Tollywood to reignite her career and charm audiences once again.
