India always aspired to win Oscars in the best foreign film category. Till now it didnot happen. Though Gandhi and Slumdog Millionnaire won Oscars, they are directed by foreigners. Even Amir Khan’s Lagaan which many expected to bring prestigious Oscars to India, failed to do so. Versatile actor Kamal Hasan, great director Maniratnam tried in their efforts. 

Now everyone is wondering can Minugurulu make India proud at Oscars. Minugurulu seems to be India’s answer for Oscars.The film already won the appreciation of critics at Two Film Fests and won best film award at Bangalore Film Festival and International Film Festival. Now the film made it to the nominations list of Oscars. 

There are many films from other languages like National award Bengali film Jatiswar, Marathi film Fandree, Hansal Mehta’s hindi film Shahid. Even popular films Mardani, Filmistan, Ramleela, Mary Kom, Kochadaiyan, Kadai Tirai Vasanam Iyakkam etc. Even Kokani film is trying its luck. Scrutinising committee will be viewing all the films in Hyderabad nad final decision will be coming on Sep 23. 

Minugurulu is directed by Ayodhya Kumar and it highlighted how blind students were exploited and how they teamed together to fight against the atrocities. 

After promoting local brands, two leading Telugu actresses Anushka and Samantha have moved to Hindi commercials to promote a mobile and slipper brand respectively, nevertheless, these two south beauties are visible across India. If Anushka says that fans are after her, but she is fan of a mobile, while Sam talks about the comfort and style of slippers.

These actresses could have gone pan-India by doing a Bollywood film, but instead they preferred to be seen, through commercials. Most of south actresses have tested B-town waters, but these two actresses shied away from taking up B-town projects and now chosen an back-door entry to grab fans across India. 

Mega Power Star Ram Charan is popular for delivering powerful mass entertainers though some feel that all the films story lines turn out to be routine. But it doesn’t matter as long as he scores hits at the box office. 

One cannot talk of Cherry scoring a hat-trick since he tasted flops like Orange and more recently Zanjeer. Had Zanjeer been a hit he would have completed hat trick of hits with films like Rachcha and Yevadu sandwiching it. 

However he still can create records if he scores another 50. It is known that his blockbuster Magadheera collected 65 crores and Nayak 50crores at the box office. If he can repeat the same with his upcoming family entertainer Govindudu Andari Vaadle by collecting above 50crores then he will emulate Prince Mahesh Babu and Power Star Pawan Kalyan who did it earlier in Tollywood. 

All eyes on Cherry, son of Mega Star Chiranjeevi on how he achieves this Mega feet and scale another heights on success mountains hoisting Mega Family Flag in the process. 

Director Sreenu Vaitla follows set of sentiments for his each and every film. And he continued the same trend for his Aagadu as well. Revealing it, Sreenu shared, “Before release of my every film, I visit Sri Varahalakshmi Narasimhaswamy temple in Simhachalam. I offer prayers here ahead of all my movie releases. He is my favourite, sentiment and powerful God. Whenever I visit here, I get new energy.”

Ahead of the release of Aagadu, Mr Vaitla visited Simhachalam on Wednesday. Before entering into main temple, Vaitla has embraced the Kappa Stambham. He later did special Ashthothara Puja in Antaralayam followed by Kunkumarchana for Goda Devi. Sreenu Vaitla hoped that the divine blessings are there for Aagadu. 

If grapevine is to be believed, Tamanna Bhatia would be cast opposite Nagarjuna Akkineni in his next film. Buzz is that Tammu is being considered for Nag’s film in which he is seen in dual role. For a role, Ramya Krishna has been roped in and the makers are hunting for other heroine.

Although Tamanna had paired up with Naga Chaitanya in 100% Love and Tadakaha, Nag is keen to have her on board, say sources close to the unit. However, nothing has been finalized and the talks are in nascent phase. Newcomer Kalyan is going to wield the megaphone and we hear that the film is an out-and-out entertainer like Nag’s yesteryear blockbuster “Hello Brothers”. 

Prince Mahesh Babu,Tamanna’s entertainer Aagadu directed by Srinu Vytla is all set for a grand release on Sep 19th. Analysts predict the grand release of Aagadu in more than 2000 screens will enable it to break many records on the first day itself.

Ram Achanta, Anil Sunkara and Gopi Achanta who are producing the film on 14 Reels Entertainment Banner speaking to media at Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad said sky is not the limit for Aagadu. They said, Aagadu has not set any targets to collect 100 crores and movie lovers should set targets for Aagadu. 

They said though many stars donned Police Outfit, effect of Mahesh appearing as Police is entirely different. They said in Aagadu, Mahesh will be seen as police whom none can stop. They revealed in US alone film is releasing in 159 theatres with Eros releasing the film in North America. 

They said Shruti Hasan glamour, Brahmanandam’s comedy, Srinu Vytla’s dialogues and MEK episodes are the highlights and songs will be a visual feast. He said song shot in Ladakh where oxygen levels are minimum will wow everyone. 

Film stars Sonu Sood, Rajendra Prasad, Brahmanandam, Napoleon, Saikumar in important roles with Thaman scoring music.

Milky Beauty Tamanna is the leading lady and Sexy Siren Shruti Haasan will appear in a hot item number.SS Thaman has composed the music and the songs have already entered into the chart-busters list.

Bunny’s new film is coming with many interesting things! The movie that was launched long back to be directed by ace director Trivikram Srinivas. Just when people wrote this movie off the movie has been making lot of buzz!  Homely Actress Sneha has confirmed that she has signed Allu Arjun’s upcoming film in the direction of Trivikram Srinivas.

Sneha made this announcement while responding about Pregnancy rumors. Sneha said “I too heard news about pregnancy (laughs). But it is untrue. After working for many years, I am really chilling out at home and enjoying my break. I have signed a Telugu film with Trivikram Srinivas which will start soon.”  Samantha and Adah Sharma are already confrmed as heroines in this film and Sneha will play an important role.

This film, produced by D.V.V.Danyya and S.Radha Krishna on Haarika & Hassine Creations banner will hit the floors soon  Its known that Trivikram is in talks with Arjun Sarja nd Jagapati Babu for crucial role in the film.Sources say, Sneha might be paired opposite Arjun or Jagapathi Babu.How could She claim being a lead heroine when the actor with whom she was paired will be seen in a negative role is a mystery for now!

After dismal performance of his previous film One Nenokkadine, Mahesh Babu’s forthcoming film Aagadu gained so much significance. Not just in one way, but in many ways, Aagadu is crucial for Mahesh Babu. Although Mahesh often states that he is “not a game” for numer uno position, he is very much aware of how volatile the situations in industry are and the only way that keeps anyone going forward and growing is a “hit”. But for a star like Mahesh, the only way is an “industry hit” or “blockbuster”.

Considering that One Nenokkadine is an experimental film that had gone wrong, and his peer Pawan Kalyan hit hard with a blockbuster in form of Attarintiki Daredi, it’s time for Mahesh to bounce back. Though Mahesh walked away with “The Black Lady” as Best Actor in Filmfare Awards, it is Attarintiki Daredi that stood as “Best Film”. So, if Mahesh wants to go extra mile and wants to keep this honour under belt, he needs to come up with an industry hit and probably only a wholesome family entertainer would create such magic.

And another important reason is that a star’s brand value depends on the Box Office success of his/her films. No doubt, Mahesh holds a special record for being Brand Ambassador for a score of brands, and all leading brands are in his kitty and he charges a bomb, but to make it running all the time he should be at the top.

Above all, Mahesh needs a blockbuster in form of Aagadu to quench the thirst of his humongous fans. All the above reasons make Aagadu, crucial film for Mahesh.

Buzz is that director Puri Jagannadh has roped in Sunny for a hot sizzling item song in his next film with the Rabhasa star.  Both Tarak and Bandla Ganesh have given their consent and Sunny was said to be happy for bagging a plum offer.

We hear that both NTR and Sunny going to shake their legs for a spicy song and Puri is now making it more spicy as he roped in Sunny. Producer Bandla Ganesh is said to be working out the schedule for Sunny’s shoot.

Director Puri Jagannadh has a fascination for item girls in his films. He is known for casting international beauties for the special numbers in his movies. Now, Puri has roped in none other than Indo-Canadian Sunny Leone. Meanwhile, already Manchus roped in Sunny Leone for their film Current Theega. Looks like, Sunny is going to bag more offers in T-town. 

In the Picture is Chetana, the 19 years old daughter of actor Uttej. Very few know that Chetana is very interested in films and even acted as a child artist nearly in 15 telugu and tamil movies. Chetana is also a kuchipudi performer and learnt dance from Bala gaaru, daughter famous Vempati chinna satyam.

She is also well versed in western dances. Chetana is currently working in stage plays as a lead role and is eager to try her luck in Telugu film industry as heroine. Uttej is a familiar artist to most of the Telugu film audience. He started his acting career from Siva. He entered to film industry as an assistant director. He is since then close to Telugu audience as film artist and writer.

She has been busy with few photo-shoots by well-known photographers and is pretty hopeful about bagging some plumy chances. She says she is not going to ask for chances on his father’s name but will bag them with her own talent.

Deepika Paudokone is the leading actress in Bollywood at the moment. Recently, she grabbed the headlines after a leading daily wrote some sexual comments on her.

Deepika has been busy with brand endorsements and here is one of such photos from her photo-shoots.

Junior NTR has hit an all-time low in his career. So, he is on a major retrospection mode and is dissecting all reasons behind the debacle of his films. After analyzing various factors along with his team, he has come to the conclusion that his films have been going over budget which is cutting down the returns that the producers are making.

Apparently, he figured that even if his films had an average run, the producers are not making much money due to high costs. As a part of damage control measures, NTR decided to slash his remuneration. He will be charging less and will also reduce shootings at foreign locations.

NTR has now decided to plan his films in such a way that his producers will not lose money in the bargain. Well, by cutting down his price, NTR is surely kick-starting a new trend and one only hopes that other star heroes will follow suit. That, feel trade analysts will help the industry to reduce losses and increase returns.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun and his wife Sneha were blessed with a baby boy a couple of months ago and the boy was named Ayaan. Having looked into the eyes of this cute kid, it is can be easily understood that the boy exactly resembles to his dad. Today, the new pics of this pretty boy were posted in the face book of Allu Arjun. Interestingly, allu ayaan also looked stylish in the above pic like his dad. Naturally, one more superstar is assured from Allu’s compound for future generations.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun and ace director Trivikram’s new movie will go on sets soon. Samantha has been roped in as the main female lead of this movie. Devi Sri Prasad will be scoring the tunes of the movie. On the other side, Gunasekhar’s ‘Rudhramadevi’ is slated for release in the month of December. Allu Arjun played the historical role of Gona Gannareddy in this movie.

According to industry sources, after exploring the mindsets of gangsters, cops and serial killer, maverick filmmaker RGV is planning to make a voyeuristic film revolving around school-going boy and a aunty. It would reportedly explore the the mindset of an middle-class aunty and her sexual exploits with a adolescent boy and much worse.

Director who has made some sensational films on the lives of popular persons like Dawood, Bal Thackeray, Paritala Ravi and cop Daya Nayak, is now going to cater to the basic instinct of the masses revolving around an unhealthy relationship. Surely, RGV doesn’t really need to degrade himself by doing a voyeuristic fare. It is reportedly titled ‘Savitri’, if rumors are to be believed.

Tollywood is always ‘inspired’ and ‘following’. Yes, our directors, heroes and producers do take a leaf from one hit flick and try to clone similar versions of it in the name of delivering a people-loving blockbuster flick. And that ideology spreads like a virus from big stars to small budgeted flicks.

Recently ‘khaki’ shirt has inspired our top heroes heavily and even young and aspiring heroes are also following the suit. Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’ and Mahesh’s ‘Dookudu’ have kick-started a new fever for the police dress in Tollywood. Even these two stars themselves are thirsty to wear it again. Mahesh has already made it possible with ‘Aagadu’ while Pawan’s ‘Gabbar Singh 2’ is yet to roll.

Charan’s Thoofan, Allu Arjun’s Racegurram and Raviteja’s Power have all gave their best shot with police uniform, while success and failure range is different. In the upcoming list, we have NTR’s Nenorakam and Kalyan Ram’s Pataas, while another hero from their neighborhood camp Nara Rohit joined the league with Rowdy Fellow.

As they say in the industry, it’s one hit that matters. One film can turn a hero into a superstar. Then, money follows. And Nithin is one such lucky guy. He has had two back to back hits. While Ishq got him a foothold, Gundejaari Gallantayyinde took his success a step further.Golden days were back for Nitin and he is in best form with series of hits. Nitin’s family is rising up in film business too.

His father Sudhakar Reddy is distributing all the top heroes films in Nizam area, whereas his sister Nikitha Reddy is producing medium budget films. Now the family have taken up the huge responsibility and according to sources they are going to introduce hero Nagarjuna’s son Akkineni Akhil.As per reliable sources, Nitin will co-produce Akhil’s first movie on Shresht Movies banner.

VV Vinayak will direct Akhil’s debut movie for which Veligonda Srinivas of Damarukam fame is providing script and dialogues. An official announcement regarding this is expected to be made on the 20th of this September on the eve of ANR’s birthday. Akhil has already done won the hearts of the A class with Manam. And with his debut film with VV Vinayak, he’ll sweep the masses too!

Good luck to Akhil & especially Nitin!

South Indian super star and Talaiver Rajinikanth has moved to the high court opposing the release and screening of a Bollywood film which has been named after him like “Main Hoon Rajinikanth’’ Rajinikanth Wednesday approached the Madras High Court seeking a stay on the release of Hindi film “Main Hoon Rajinikanth” which was used his name directly.

He said the film might defame him and upset his large fan base. Rajinikanth’s complaint said the producer has not approached him for consent or permission to use his super hero image to promote the new film. After hearing the petition, the Madras High Court has granted interim stay against the release of the movie. The case has been posted for hearing on 22 September. It is a very first time in Bollywood perhaps in India where a film is titled after Rajinikanth.

So, as there are chances of portraying the super star and his mannerisms in different way.And this perhaps is the very first incident where Rajinikanth approached the court for justice. Adithya Menon and Kavita Radheshyam playing the lead roles, “Main Hoon Rajinikanth”, directed by Faisal Saif, portrays the life of a funny and wicked CBI officer-cum-contract killer Rajinikanth Rao.
