Priyanka Chopra Arrives Hyderabad With Daughter as Movie Shoot Pauses Due to Strike
Priyanka Chopra is back in India, and this time, she’s brought her daughter Malti along for the journey. The actress was spotted arriving in Hyderabad over the weekend, reportedly to kick off her part in the filming of the much-anticipated action-adventure movie SSMB29, directed by S.S. Rajamouli and starring South Indian superstar Mahesh Babu.
Sharing a glimpse of their trip, Priyanka posted photos of Malti on her Instagram story, one of them showing her tiny hand in Priyanka’s, and another of the toddler staring out at the rainy Hyderabad streets. The photos quickly grabbed attention from fans, especially with excitement building around SSMB29.
However, just as filming was set to begin, the Telugu film industry came to a standstill. Over 10,000 film crew members, including lighting techs, set designers, camera operators, and other behind-the-scenes workers, have gone on strike. Their main demand is a 30% increase in wages, citing the rising cost of living and long working hours.
Because of the strike, production on several major projects, SSMB29 included, has been paused. Filmmakers, producers, and workers are still in talks, but for now, no one knows exactly when cameras will start rolling again.
Nigerian singer Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.
Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has made headlines after calling on his colleague, Blaqbonez, for a possible collaboration.

Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
