一 | The box office collections of Balakrishna's latest release, Akhanda 2, saw a huge drop on Monday. The Boyapati Srinu directorial may face a litmus test at the ticket window, and as expected, Akhanda 2 underperformed on the first Monday. The film reportedly collected Rs 5.1 crore on the fourth day, taking the overall tally of film’s collections to Rs 66 crore (net) in India. So far, the film’s strong weekend performance underlines Balakrishna’s massive fan following and his ability to pull audiences to theatres. But Akhanda 2 fumbled on its first Monday, nearly completing its major theatrical run. As a result, Balakrishna had reportedly shifted focus on to his next ambitious project. Balakrishna to turn singer Balakrishna reunites with director Gopichand Malineni, marking their second outing together after delivering a successful Veera Simha Reddy earlier in 2023. This time, the duo is stepping into a completely different zone, as the upcoming project is said to be a grand period drama. The film promises to showcase Balakrishna in a powerful and regal avatar, backed by a rich narrative and large-scale presentation. Adding to the excitement, Nayanthara has been finalized as the female lead, making this pairing one of the most talked-about combinations in recent times. Her presence is expected to bring both star value and emotional depth to the story. According to industry buzz, Balakrishna will also be lending his voice for a special song in the film, a move that has already generated excitement among fans. Grand sets under construction Balakrishna-Gopichand film is being mounted on a massive scale, with special grand sets currently being built to recreate the period setting. From lavish sets to detailed costumes and grand action sequences, the film aims to be a visual spectacle. With a reported budget exceeding Rs 100 crore, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure high production values. With Akhanda 2 turning out to be a disappointing outing, Balakrishna is determined to strike back at the box office with vengeance. But for now, his fans are thrilled that he will sing a special number.Also Read: Akhanda 2 Collections: Balakrishna’s Film Registers Promising Box Office Haul of Rs 61 Crore。 MOSCOW -- The lower house of the Russian parliament on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a bill revoking the ratification of a global nuclear test ban in what Moscow has described as a move to put itself on par with the United States.The State Duma voted unanimously to rescind the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty known as the CTBT, in the first of three required readings. The final vote is scheduled for later this week.The vote follows a statement from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who warned earlier this month that Moscow could revoke its 2000 decision to ratify the bill to “mirror" the stand taken by the United States, which has signed but not ratified the nuclear test ban.Speaking during Tuesday's session, Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said the Russian move was a response to what he described as the U.S. “boorish attitude to performing its obligations to ensure global security."“They thought about themselves as hegemons, proponents of a unilateral world,” Volodin said. “Today's decision will ring the bell for them.”The CTBT, adopted in 1996, bans all nuclear explosions anywhere in the world, although it has never fully entered into force. In addition to the U.S., it is yet to be ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran and Egypt.There are widespread concerns that Russia could move to resume nuclear tests to try to discourage the West from continuing to offer military support to Ukraine. Many Russian hawks have spoken in favor of resumption.Putin has noted that while some experts have talked about the need to conduct nuclear tests, he hasn’t yet formed an opinion on the issue.Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said last week that Moscow will continue to respect the ban and will only resume nuclear tests if Washington does it first.。
