Actor Barry Keoghan is responding to harsh comments online after breaking up with singer Sabrina Carpenter. Barry shared a message on his X account, saying he can’t ignore the “hateful comments” about his looks and family anymore. He and Sabrina separated earlier this month.

In his message, Barry expressed frustration about the lies people are spreading about him. He wrote, “I can only take so much. My name is being dragged through the mud, and I need to defend myself. The things I’ve read are cruel and untrue, talking about how I grew up and even bringing my mom into it.”

Barry emphasized that these comments affect him and his son, Brando, who he shares with his ex-partner Alyson Sandro. He wants to be a strong role model for Brando and provide him with good opportunities. He asked people to think about the impact their words have, especially since Brando will read all this when he’s older.

Barry did not mention Sabrina directly in his post. However, there are rumors that Barry cheated on her with TikTok influencer Breckie Hill. Both Barry and Sabrina have not officially commented on this claim. The couple sparked dating rumors in December 2023 after being seen together in Los Angeles, and Barry even appeared in Sabrina’s music video.

On Friday morning, newlyweds Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya visited the Srisailam temple in Andhra Pradesh. They were accompanied by Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna. Videos from their visit are trending online, especially one sweet moment that caught everyone’s attention.

In the video, the three of them bow their heads in front of a priest. He presents them with a tray containing turmeric, sandalwood paste, and flowers for blessings. Nagarjuna goes first, receiving a “bottu” on his forehead from the priest. Next, Sobhita uses her finger to put the sandalwood paste on her forehead. As her hair falls forward, Nagarjuna kindly holds it back for her, and Sobhita smiles softly. This caring gesture warmed the hearts of many fans, with some saying he acts like a father figure to her.

Nagarjuna’s touch was seen as a kind and respectful act towards his daughter-in-law, although some people thought it wasn’t necessary.

The couple looked beautiful for their temple visit, both wearing traditional clothes. Chaitanya wore a white pancha, while Sobhita chose a lovely yellow saree.

Pushpa 2 is the first Indian movie to make more than ₹50 crore in two languages on the same day. It also set a record with a total collection of ₹294 crore worldwide on its opening day.

People are thrilled about the movie, which received good reviews from both critics and fans. The tickets were sold at higher prices, with the top ticket costing ₹2400, but prices may drop soon. It will be interesting to see how that affects ticket sales.

Rashmika plays his wife, Srivalli, who fiercely supports him against his family.

The release of “Pushpa 2: The Rule” has created a big buzz in the movie industry for 2024. Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, this sequel to the hit film from 2021 is breaking records at the box office and helping the Indian film industry recover after tough times. In just its opening days, the movie earned hundreds of crores, giving hope to cinema halls and movie makers.

Fans were eager to see Allu Arjun back as Pushpa Raj after waiting for three years since the first film. Even though the movie was leaked online shortly after its release, it didn’t stop fans from flocking to theaters.

Amazing Numbers for Pushpa 2

“Pushpa 2” had an incredible opening day, making ₹175 crore in India alone. The second day added another ₹90.1 crore, bringing the total to ₹265 crore in just two days! Worldwide, it crossed ₹417.5 crore quickly, setting a record for Indian films.

The Hindi version played a key role, bringing in ₹125.3 crore, more than the Telugu version at ₹118.05 crore. Other language versions added ₹33.1 crore, showing the movie’s appeal across India.

Why Pushpa 2 Matters for 2024

The Indian film industry has had ups and downs this year, with some big hits like “Stree 2” but also some disappointing movies. “Pushpa 2” is expected to help turn things around. Experts believe it could make ₹1,200–₹1,400 crore globally over its lifetime, which would really help the overall box office for the year.

Girish Wankhede, a trade expert, says the Hindi version alone could bring in about 40% of the total income, a jump from the 26% of the first film. This shows that audiences are embracing films from different regions in India.

Ticket Sales and Theater Impact

Before its release, “Pushpa 2” sold over 32 lakh tickets in advance, gathering ₹106 crore even before showing in theaters. Ticket prices were raised by 30–40% due to high demand. Experts expect this movie will increase theater attendance, helping companies like PVR INOX.

Amit Sharma from Miraj Entertainment predicts the Hindi version could contribute around ₹800 crore to the total earnings. “This film is not just a hit; it’s changing the way Indian cinema works,” he said.

Benefits to Movie Chains and Investors

Multiplex chains like PVR INOX stand to gain a lot from “Pushpa 2’s” success. Analysts expect a 33% increase in Hindi movie earnings in the next quarter because of this film. PVR INOX, which holds 33% of Hindi box office revenue, could make ₹560 crore from films in this quarter.

“Pushpa 2 could bring back the number of people going to theaters to what it was before COVID,” said Karan Taurani from Elara Capital.

Success Beyond Numbers

“Pushpa 2’s” success is not only because of its great storytelling but also due to its smart marketing. The team re-released the first film to remind people of the story and organized events to promote it, especially in Hindi-speaking states.

Film distributor Shaaminder Malik shared that nearly all shows in non-southern states are for the Hindi version, which shows how well it’s doing outside its traditional markets.

With “Pushpa 2” already outpacing the first film and expected to rival popular films like “KGF: Chapter 2” and “Pathaan,” this movie is set to break records, showing hope for the future of Hindi cinema.

Pushpa 2,” the new movie starring Allu Arjun, is taking the box office by storm! In just three days since its release, it has earned a jaw-dropping Rs 274 crore in India.

On its opening day alone, “Pushpa 2” made an incredible Rs 175 crore across all languages. The second day was just as great, with Rs 90.1 crore added to its total, making Rs 265 crore in two days!

The movie’s success comes from a mix of languages—on day two, the Telugu version earned Rs 27.1 crore, while the Hindi version brought in a massive Rs 55 crore. Even the Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions contributed to the total. Interestingly, the Hindi version has now made more money than the Telugu version, with Rs 125.3 crore compared to Rs 118.05 crore.

Globally, “Pushpa 2” is breaking records too! Trade expert Manobala Vijayabalan reported that it has made Rs 417.5 crore worldwide in just two days. It became the first Indian film to cross Rs 400 crore globally in its opening weekend.

Directed by Sukumar, “Pushpa 2: The Rule” continues the story of Pushpa Raj, a red sandalwood smuggler facing new challenges and dangers. The film has a fantastic cast, including Fahadh Faasil as the tough policeman, Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli, and Jagapathi Babu bringing a fresh twist to the story.

The success of “Pushpa 2” is even more impressive when you look at how well the first movie, “Pushpa: The Rise,” did in 2021, earning Rs 393.50 crore worldwide and giving Allu Arjun his first National Award.
