Top 5 regional news: Keerthy wins praise for ‘Revolver Rita’

Top 5 regional news: Keerthy Suresh wins praise for ‘Revolver Rita’; Ram Charan drops ‘Chikiri’ BTS; Mammootty reunites with man who named him

South Indian cinema buzzed with excitement as Keerthy Suresh impressed in ‘Revolver Rita,’ Ram Charan shared BTS from his film, and Samantha met David Beckham. Mammootty had an emotional reunion, while a past clash between Thilakan and Ranjith was revisited. Gujarati actor Bhavin Bhanushali also tied the knot.

From Keerthy Suresh’s outstanding performance in Revolver Rita to Mammootty’s emotional reunion with the man who gave him his iconic name, the South film industries delivered several noteworthy moments today. Here are the top five regional highlights across Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema.

Keerthy Suresh’s stunning performance in Revolver Rita

The day began with praise pouring in for Keerthy Suresh, whose latest film, Revolver Rita, is earning unanimous acclaim. The dark comedy, packed with late-night chaos and sharp humour, has audiences talking about Keerthy’s impeccable comic timing. Fans say, “This film is for Keerthy,” and many are raving about a long single-take sequence in the climax that has left viewers stunned.

Ram Charan’s BTS surprise and Samantha’s viral moment

Tollywood star Ram Charan delighted fans by sharing behind-the-scenes footage from the ‘Chikiri’ song shoot for his upcoming film. The clip, showing Ram and Janhvi Kapoor trekking to the location, highlighted the physical effort behind the glamour. Meanwhile, Samantha Ruth Prabhu went viral after being spotted with football legend David Beckham at an event in Mumbai. Beckham, visiting India as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, was photographed leaving the venue alongside Samantha — a moment that quickly became a social media favourite.

Mammootty’s emotional reunion

Malayalam cinema delivered an emotional highlight as Mammootty reunited on stage with the man who once casually called the young Muhammad Kutty “Mammootty,” giving birth to the superstar’s legendary screen name. Producer Anto Joseph described the moment as deeply touching — a slice of cinematic history coming alive.

Thilakan and Ranjith’s clash revisited

Adding to the day’s regional buzz, actor Shammi Thilakan recalled a heated altercation between his late father, Thilakan, and director Ranjith — an argument that turned both physical and emotional. The two later reconciled, paving the way for Thilakan to act in Ranjith’s film Indian Rupee.

Bhavin Bhanushali ties the knot

In Gujarati entertainment news, actor Bhavin Bhanushali married Disha Chandreja in a ceremony that charmed fans. Interestingly, the wedding song was sung by the groom himself. Sharing photos, Bhavin wrote on Instagram, “Tu maari ne hoon taaro thai gayo — 27.11.25. ‘Taaro Thai Gayo’ — Our love turned into music today. Special thanks to @adityagadhviofficial for turning this melody into magic.”
