There is common opinion that heroines accept all kind of roles for money. But that surely is not true at least for A-listed actresses who have the luxury to choose and pick the films of their choice. Tamanna says she is dead scared of snakes and the very thought of a snake gives her goose pimples she confesses.

If ever she gets an offer to act with snakes, she says she will happily let go of the film irrespective of the remuneration offered. Like many in the industry, Tamanna also feels that her figure and colour are ideal to play Nagini kind of characters.

However, she is very clear that she will never say yes to such films as she cannot think of having snakes running all over her body. But Tamanna is in awe of actresses who can bravely shoot with snakes.

Pawan Kalyan means an army and when he founded his party Jana Sena, many thought his magic, dynamism and passion would make him a wonderful leader. When Pawan was mouthing powerful dialogues during election campaigning, even seasoned politicians had to simply sit and watch.

But with Jagga Reddy losing elections in Medak by-poll, there is common opinion that the failure is not of BJP or Jagga Reddy, but of Pawan Kalyan. Some time back, Pawan had a few good words to say about Jagga Reddy. Taking that as the cue, Jagga Reddy quit Congress and jumped into BJP.

Immediately, there were strong rumours that Jagga Reddy jumped into fray owing to support from Pawan Kalyan. Now Jagga Reddy has lost and many say it is actually defeat of Pawan Kalyan. Though Pawan did not come personally to campaign for Jagga Reddy, Pawanism should have worked to at least some extent. Instead, Jagga Reddy was pushed to the third slot.

In fact, the scenario was no different in other states as people voted against the Saffron party. People seem to have realized that both Modi and Pawan Kalyan are very good orators, but when it comes to action, they are not as good as their words.

At least now, Pawan Kalyan has to focus on his party Jana Sena and make sure that it does not end up being directionless. Otherwise, it will be yet another party that will soon be part of history.

However, one of those body-builders grabbed Arnold’s hand and kissed it. It’s not a new thing for us but Arnold felt very uncomfortable with that kiss. So, he finished his speech very early and made a sudden exit from the function. It took some time for the organizers to understand why Arnold left the event abruptly.

Billed to be a sports-based film that revolves around the life of an aspiring cricketer, it encompasses the game of cricket with a realistic approach. Divya is pairing up with Vishnu Vishal and she said to be seen as student in the film. Divya needs special applause as she is choosing good roles without getting typecast.

After expressing his desire to work with Regina during ‘Kotha Janta’ audio launch, Stylish star Allu Arjun has finally brought her in for a project. This is not screen-space sharing however, as it happens to be an ad-space sharing. 

In the latest advertisement of OLX, Regina is seen sharing screen space with Tollywood’s most loved hero Bunny. However there is not much scope for us to talk about their chemistry as the ad is a solo-show of our talented chap.

The newly conceived TV commercial starts with Bunny asking a flying kiss from Regina, who is interrupted by her brother. Acting smartly, our hero immediately poses like a police and makes mockery of his bike and leads him to sell that on OLX. Flattered by Bunny’s smartness, Regina throws a flying-kiss finally. 

‘Ammayendi Boss’, says Bunny in his trademark style, after becoming the face of popular buying/selling portal on internet. 

In form personalities of Allu arjun and Trivikram Srinivas are waiting from a long time to begin the shooting of their next film. Due to personal and professional hurdles, the movie has been kept on hold with entire cast and crew finalized. As per official reports flowing in, the untitled film has got three heroines viz. Samanta, Adah Sharma and Rasi Khanna. Now, a new entry into the list is Sneha.

Sneha is of course a senior actor and does not fit into heroine besides Bunny. So, she might be playing a key role which is kept as suspense. Reports say, Kannada star Upendra will play Bunny’s elder brother and Sneha’s husband in the film. With inclusion of Sneha into the final casting, the total number of heroines raised to four in the film. Following the trend, if Trivikram ropes any heroine for an item number or so, then this count is prone to rise. Let us see, how many heroines Trivikram and Bunny actually need for this project?

With his touching gestures, thought provoking words and selfless attitude coupled with caring greetings, Megastar Amitabh Bachhan redefined how a TV show would get immense nationwide attention when a hero of his persona hosts the show. That happened with ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ in 2000, 14 years back, and the show along with Big B’s mesmeric acts still continues.
 
Currently into its 8th season, KBC new episodes are being aired from August 17th this year. Recalling the wonderful happenings that KBC brought into life, Amitabh says, ‘KBC has been giving most humblest moments to me from last 14 years. When an episode is over and I meet audiences personally, the handmade gifts they give is the most touching moment’. In the total 8 seasons, Big B hosted all the episodes with grace, grandeur and legendary, while Season 3 was seen Shahrukh Khan taking the host-seat.
 
The first ever episode of KBC offered 1 Crore rupees as the highest prize for winner, and the latest 8th season is offering 7 crores. Telugu verison of KBC, Meelo Evari Koteeswarudu is also a grand hit and host Nagarjuna too got moved emotionally like Big B. 

Burning Star Sampoornesh Babu is a sensation these days. We all know the ruckus he created online and in theaters with his Hrudaya Kaleyam. The movie built on the hype went on to become a profitable venture and he has got two other projects in his kitty right now. And now it is said that Manchu Vishnu is gearing up to produce a film with the Burning Star.

We have not got much details of the project as of now but they say they are considering ‘Singham 123’ as the title of the film. Sources say the movie may be a mockery of Suriya’s high voltage entertainer, Singham and Singham-2 with Sampoornesh Babu playing the Police Role. Few days back we have seen Sampoornesh Babu in the audio function of Manchu Manoj’s Current Teega.

This may be the reason for his attendance there. Manchu Family is currently undergoing their worst period. Except for odd films here and there, their films are ending up as miserable failures. Most of the times, their films are being produced by themselves which is increasing the agony. Their recent failures include Rowdy, Anukshanam etc. Manoj’s upcoming film, Current Teega is also being produced by Vishnu. We will have to see if Sampoornesh Babu’s Singham 123 changes their fate.

If reports are to be believed Junior NTR wants to kick-start his love story with creative director Sukumar at the earliest. In fact, young tiger and Sukku are supposed to join hands post ‘Rabhasa’, but that got delayed by 6 months due to various problems engulfing the making of Rabhasa. By then, Sukku’s 1-Nenokkadine tanked at box-office making Jr NTR take a backseat about the proposed movie with the creative think-tank. And what happened now?
 
As ‘Rabhasa’ has bitten dust, NTR has decided to not work on mass-action flicks anymore, but will be taking up family and love stories with a dose of ‘action’ and ‘adrenaline rushing’ sequences. With these thoughts in mind, NTR started liking the story narrated by Sukumar, for which the bound-script is also ready. As Puri Jagan’s project ‘Nenorakam’ is kept on a hold from a while and its progression looking uncertain, NTR is keen to kick-start Sukku’s project in parallel. That way there are plenty of chances for Sukumar to overtake Puri Jagan’s project. 

Undeniably, superstar Mahesh Babu is the undisputed king in overseas market and has a huge fan following in US and other countries. He is first Telugu star to draw more collections for Telugu films as his films like “Pokiin”, “Athadu”, “Dhookudu” and Seethamma, riased the stakes and collected around 4 crore to 10 crores. He also attended the US premire of his film “Sainikudu” and his fan base is expanding from then on. 

Although, Nenokadine star has more hits overseas, but his arch rival Pawan busted it with Athartiniki as it collected more than 10.5 crores. With “Aagadu” set for a grand gala release as the producers themselves releasing in more than 100-odd screen in US and across the world, it seems Mahesh would also achieve top grosser record for himself this season. To retain his tag of “Badshah of Oveseas”. 

None of her films are superhits, yet Sonam Kapoor is most discussed celebrity in Bollywood. Be it her fashion sense or her bold looks in revealing outfits, Sonam is hotter than anyone else. 

Here is Sonam at a recent event in a simple but hot tights. Needless to mention how hot she is!!

It was nothing short of a festival for the Nandamuri fans when the film ‘Legend’ arrived. The powerful performance of Nandamuri Balakrishna was an adrenaline rush to the audience and true to that, the film became a big hit at the box office. Now, ‘Legend’ has achieved another milestone.

The film has successfully completed 175 days of running and on that eve, the makers have released a thank you poster. The film is directed by Boyapati Sreenu and produced by the famous 14 Reels Entertainment banner. Balayya did a double role which gave the required treat to his fans.

At a time when films are finding it hard to run for even two weeks, ‘Legend’ completing 175 days is a big achievement. Currently, Balayya is busy with another movie tentatively titled as ‘Godse’ and the ‘Legend’ effect will sure come handy when it is ready for release. 

One of the most unforgettable and memorable movies of the recent times in Tollywood is ‘Manam’. This complete family package from the Akkineni camp touched the hearts of many Telugu families as it had the legendary ANR. Now, it appears that the film is all set to touch the hearts of the prestigious Oscar fraternity as well.

Sources reveal ‘Manam’ has been sent to the Oscar screening committee from Tollywood. This would join the race with the other Telugu movie ‘Minugurulu’. If the Oscar screening committee approves it then ‘Manam’ would be sent to the Oscar nomination screening committee.

If they also approve it then it would compete with the other films from across the world for the coveted ‘Best Foreign Film’ award in Oscars. The Oscars are scheduled to be held in February 2015 and this is the 87th edition. Here’s wishing ‘Manam’ the best of good luck and success for this prestigious honor.
