Presence of Superstar Mahesh Babu at the audio launch of upcoming big ticket entertainer ‘Manoharudu’ turned to be a rumor finally. Ever since director Shankar attended the audio function of ‘Aagadu’, speculations are rife that Mahesh will reciprocate the same. But finally the horse revealed the truth.

In fact, music launch of ‘Manoharudu’ is a prestigious event for the whole crew of Shankar in view of the gigantic budget to be recovered from box office. For the very reason, they have invited Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger as Chief Guest for the launching eve. Adding to this, rumours milled cooked that Mahesh Babu will also join him. However, Mahesh has today made it clear that he is not attending the audio launch of Manoharudu. There is no iota of truth in the rumors, he cleared.

Mahesh has today dazzled at the Paragon Footwear related media interaction as he happens to be their new brand ambassador. Right now, he is also busy completing final dubbing work for ‘Aagadu’ that is slated for September 19th release. 

Gone are the days Samantha Ruth Prabhu is tagged as just girl-next-door. Thanks to films like Ye Maya Chesave, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Attarintiki Daaredi which brought her homely image although she did look good in those films.

Of late, Sam has suddenly raised her oomph factor and displaying it in her films. Be it a blink-and-miss bikini treat or dressed in short-pants in Sikindar or her latest JFW magazine photo shoot, says that the actress is sending out signals that she is confident enough to carry off glamour roles as well.

Samantha already proved that she is good actress, now she wants to conquer the tag of “Glam Queen’. Especially Sam is facing stiff competition from her peers who are ahead in skin show. This seems to be the apparent reason behind Sam stepping up her glam quotient suddenly. 

Length of a movie is becoming a big worry these days. Slick editing and faster pace of movie is quintessential for biggies to score hits because dragged scenes are playing spoilsport. Recent cases of Anjaan and Rabhasa are best examples.

Despite having some decent moments, Surya’s Anjaan/Sikander failed to create an impact not just because of its cliched story line. The film was way too dragged as 2 hrs 41 mins of length looked too long for audiences to feel it. Even though producers trimmed around 20 minutes post release, hands have burnt by that time. Coming to Jr NTR’s Rabhasa, the movie is quite packed for that length of 2 hrs 30 mins as makers have chopped 15 minutes prior release. However, even that 2 hours 30 mins too looked tad excess. And now, Raviteja’s ‘Power’ got a length of 2 hours 27 minutes. Is this a worry or not?

Writer-director Bobby is quite sure that this length is perfect and there is no single scene or sequence that needs to be chopped to ramp the pace. Aiming for a September 12th release, he confirmed that there is need of trimming Raviteja’s ‘Power’ though length became worry in few past releases.

‘Telugu offers nothing much to perform, just they need glamour and we in turn get huge pay packet’, said Sridevi sometime back, kicking in the hornet’s nest. After moving to Bollywood, Sridevi never considered acting in Telugu movies unless she is doled out a bomb to come to Hyderabad. Also her take remained same forever that Tamil and Bollywood flicks have some female-centric scripts whereas there is nothing sorts of in Tollywood.

Echoing similar opinion, Ileana too kept Tollywood off her radar once getting good work in Hindi movies. Though she remained loyal to Telugu audiences by attributing her stardom to their patronage, she never showed interest in Telugu movies, as they are purely commercial ones needing only her glamorous side. According to a popular daily, even Samantha too opined similarly.

‘Telugu movies are far away from female-centric scripts. There is need of glamour only’, Sam said, while interacting with media in Chennai. Probably this is the time our makers should think why these ravishing starlets are feeling averse about Telugu movies after a time. Because after making these comments, eventually those starlets are moving away from Telugu tinsel town. That’s reality. 

Fitness freak Ram Charan seems to be spending lot of time in workouts for his apt look of Govindudu Andarivadele. Cherry’s warrior look is one of the best ingredients of the super success film Magadheera. 

Charan was caught pumping iron once again and here is the picture of him lifting some serious weights. Wait to see if he has flaunted his muscled body anywhere in Govindudu Andarivadele. 

Actress-YSR Congress MLA from Nagiri Roja is surrounded by wide-spread rumours that she would be “parting ways” with her husband-director Selvamani. The rumours got attention when the news is broke that both Roja and Selvamani are living separately for a while. While Roja is staying in Hyderabad, Selvamani has shifted to Chennai and this led gossip mongers to cook up the rumour.

Contrary to it, the couple are now said to be living happily and are in happy space. Responding to rumours, Roja has issued a statement stating that she is not seeking divorce from her husband. However, she maintained that both are living separately “only due to” professional commitments and clarified that there is no “trouble” in her marriage life.

The 41-year-old actress turned politician has been married for 23 years and the couple has two children – one daughter and one son. 

She has beautiful looks and acts better than many other busy actresses, but luck is not something she has acquaintance with. Madhurima is still on search for a big fish and here is the hot bait. 

Like many other struggling heroines, Madhurima too has gone too bold for a photo shoot and look what she revealed. This is something like a challenge to film makers, how they can ignore this hot property! 

In a movie that is being directed by his talented friend Krishna Vamsi where a beauty like ‘Antahpuram’ has happened, Jagapathi Babu politely refused to take up the offer. As the role seems to be miniscule and lesser importance, he opted not to star in Ram Charan’s ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’. But now, he is offered a role where he can’t simply reject. Check this out.

Opening his second innings to villain and character artist roles, Jagapathi Babu carved a niche for himself with ‘Legend’. That led to a plum offer in Sai Dharam Tej’s upcoming ‘Pilla Nuvvuleni Jeevitham’. And now, director Trivikram is keen to cast Jaggu Bhai as lead villain in his next with Allu Arjun. Touted to be a love story with three heroines, this flick perhaps has a serious villain who plays with stakes of the hero. While senior hero Arjun Sarja was the earlier option, seems like his dates are quite unavailable.

Jagapathi Babu is heard showing massive interest in the movie as this could be his game-changing flick as a villain. This will be his second big chance to confront a big hero of such stature on silver screen after playing Balayya’s villain earlier. That’s why Jaggu is hasn’t said a no like he did for Charan-KV’s flick. However we hear that Trivikram-Bunny are having few other options also in mind, and will finalize one in couple of weeks. 

Here is the Exclusive Raja Rani Director Atlee and Priya Engagement Pic.

Well, we’re talking about Jr Lagadapati and film producer Lagadapati Sridhar. It’s common knowledge that his recent release Suriya-starrer Sikandar was a debacle at the ticket windows leaving distributors and exhibitors in financial tangle. With the stupendous losses incurred, all the distributors who bought the film are now after producer Lagadapati. They’re accusing that Lagadapati hasn’t done good pre-publicity and post-publicity of the film which further threw them into losses.

If reports are to be believed, Lagadapati has bought the film for Rs 12 Crore and made a profit of Rs 2 Crore by selling it to distributors. Buzz is that director-producer Linguswamy has given Rs 2 Crore to Lagadapati only to promote the film in Telugu. Apparently, Sridhar spent only Rs 50 Lakh on the film and “pocketed” the rest. 

Distributors have complained to Linguswamy over Lagadapati but in vain as it all fallen on his deaf ears. Unable to cope up the losses incurred, few distributors have now lodged complaints in Film Chamber. They also made it clear that they see to it that no others will buy his next film. Now Film Chamber is going to call Lagadapati and trying to settle the issue amicably. Looks like, Lagadapati has to dig deep in his pocket and pay the price for the losses unless going gets tough for his next films. Let’s wiat and see.

Petite beauty Ileana D’Cruz seems to have bagged a plum Bollywood offer. If reports are to be believed, the Goan beauty is being considered opposite Shah Rukh Khan for his next film ‘Fan’ to be directed by Maneesh Sharma. 

Though Ileana’s manager denied the reports, buzz has it that the Burfi star was spotted at YRF Studio recently where she had meeting with Aditya Chopra who is producing the film.

If all goes well, Ileana will be seen pairing up with SRK. Needless to say that it will be the biggest achievement for a South heroine. 

Yesteryear heroine Nadhiya and Jayasudha changed their avatars into aunts and moms for the latest flicks. These actresses are now enjoying successful career in the second innings. Few other heroines like Suhasini, Radhika and Roja too tried mother and aunt roles in South Indian film industry.

Now another yesteryear heroine is following the same path. She is none other than curvy actress Indraja. This lady has got few top level hits in the domain of low budgeted movies. She paired up with comedians like Ali to deliver high end hits to Tollywood. Now, this beauty is getting ready to don mother role in a South Indian flick.

After 14 years, she is entering back into the film industry with a challenging role. “Will she become a competitor to Nadhiya and the present generation supporting artists or will she fade away in the second innings?” is yet to be known. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hottest small screen anchor Anasuya is now struggling with rumor mills. It seems that this beauty is getting several comments with the tag ‘Sexy’. Even though she is reportedly happy with the tag, she is facing few embarrassing moments during the film or small screen events.

It is known that this beauty showered few double meaning dialogues in small screen shows to increase the popularity. Even though, she was able to get the required TRP ratings for those shows, rumors started spreading that this beauty is crossing the limits.

There is a buzz in the media that an old man greeted her in public called her sexy. Similarly, several rumors are now showering on Anasuya showing her as a bold small screen anchor. Interestingly, similar image is now on Reshmi due to her skimpy outfit pics in Twitter. Hope, these rumors doesn’t make the situations critical for the 2 anchors.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan was spotted in a gym in the city. As per the details, Pawan Kalyan underwent surgery for back pain. It seems that he is recovering at good pace and hence he started concentrating on building fitness. From the past few days, Pawan has been suffering from acute pain in the back.

He underwent survery in Bangalore and now he is stated to be in resting period. It seems that he took break of 2 weeks from “Gopala Gopala” film shooting and is taking rest. From the past couple of days, he is seen active and is working out well in the gym. Sources revealed that he is doing physiotheraphy excercises in the gym.

“He is trying to get back his fitness. He will enter the sets of ‘Gopala Gopala’ in 2 more weeks,” says a source. This flick is set to hit the screens for Pongal and in between film makers may entertain audience with the first look of this flick. It may have Pawan Kalyan in Lord Krishna avatar.

Quite often there is a talk from filmnagar circles that there are not talented Telugu girls who can become heroines. But reality is, though there are a few deserving girls, they don’t really get the opportunities. It is only after they go to the neighboring circuits that they get the due recognition.

In the past we have seen that happening with the likes of Colors Swathi, Anjali and now another name has joined that list. We are talking about the beautiful and sexy Archana who has changed her name to Veda recently. She made her debut with the film ‘Nenu’ opposite Allari Naresh and recently she was seen in the movie ‘Kamala Tho Naa Prayanam’ opposite Sivaji.

News is that Archana has bagged a biggie in Mollywood as she has been roped in for a movie opposite the big superstar Mohanlal. Sources say she would be essaying the role of a classical dancer and Mohanlal was particular to have her on board. Archana is also doing a Tamil movie named ‘Nadodi Vamsam’. Let us hope these movies revive her fortunes and give her the due success and fame. 

That is September 6th. A pretty sunny day with little drizzles often wetting out the place at Trafalgar Square in London. And there comes Telugu star Ram Charan grooving to the tunes of melodious composer Yuvan Shankar Raja apart from doing some stunts. Yes, this was about the shooting of ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’ that was leaked on internet.

In fact, Ram Charan and his team are shooting for some dance sequences with street performers out there in London who are disguised as statues. However, there is one particular bicycle riding scene, where the Mega Powerstar seems to have little trouble to drive it forward due to its compactness. While this is for a scene or if Charan is simply trying his luck with the tricks being offered by road-side performers is yet to be known. 

However, the high quality video looks like as if the camera crew has shot it for their behind-the-scenes video. For now, Mega fans are quite angry for the leakage, while some are enjoying Cherry’s typical western attire, look and gracious dance moves. 

Adha Sharma  who was seen as female lead in maverick director Puri Jagannadh’s ‘Heart Attack’, hits a jackpot grabbing a rare opportunity to be seen opposite to Stylish Star Allu Arjun. This swanky beauty has been roped in one of the three heroines in Allu Arjun’s new movie to be directed by ace director Trivikram. Samantha was already selected the lead actress in this movie.

This untitled project will be produced by Radhakrishna on Harika and Hassine Creations. Devi Sri Prasad will score the music of the movie. The movie is likely to go on floors on 22nd of this month and is slated for release during summer, 2015.

Actress Priya Anand who sizzled in films like Ko Ante Koti, English Vinglish, seems to have landed herself in trouble. There have been several complaints from Tamil Tambhis against the talented beauty of late.

Allegedly Priya was the reason behind the increase in the budget of her upcoming Tamil comedy Oru Oorla Rendu Raja. Reports are rife that Priya demanded for costly costumes, make-up material during the shoot. Priya’s last three Tamil films (Vanakkam Chennai, Arima Nambi and Irumbu kuthirai) said to have fared well.

Kollywood is abuzz that the back-to-back hits seem to be the reason behind Priya’s “starry tantrums”. It’s time for Priya to initiate some “damage-control” steps, else her image will get dented. Unlike Tollywood, Kollywood is one serious place where producers, filmmakers are strict, disciplined.

Prince Mahesh’s ‘Aagadu’ is one of the highly anticipated movies of the year, which is scheduled for release on September 19. As we know, milky beauty tamannah has done opposite to Mahesh.

Buzz from film nagar is that tamannah looked at her best in oozing out ample glamour in the movie. On the other hand, Shruthi Haasan, who has done a special song for the movie has also excelled in her glamorous show.

Touted to be an action comedy, ‘Aagadu’ was directed by Srinu Vaitla while it was produced by Anil Sunkara, Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta on 14 Reels Entertainment. Thaman is the music director.
