It was unbelievable because it was star Ravi Teja who gave a writer Bobby, big break as a director, but it seems that they developed some creative differences and particularly in a overseas shooting, the rift reportedly led to big arguments and Balupu star has to be pacified by the unit members later, on the star and director are reportedly not in best of terms as the film “Power” is staled for release soon.

Almost like his onscreen persona, Ravi Teja is quite a friendly and tries to resolve issues in professional manner, but rarely, we have heard of him, losing his cool, but this time around, he got pissed of and blasted the director, for not sticking the scenes, that were approved before hand. Let’s hope, that such minor differences haven’t affected the 25-crore film, since more than Ravi (who is already a star) its writer turned director’ career would be at stake.

After parting ways with his one-time favorite writers Kona and Gopi, ace director Srinu has reportedly roped in 7 to 8 young writers, to help for his upcoming cop story “Aagadu’ and now their talent would be tested, as the much-hyped film, is getting ready for release. Initially, director Srinu wanted to patch up with famed writers, but later, resolved to rope in a young team and they have lived up to his expectations, but coming up with humorous scenes and also punchlines that suit the larger-than-life image of superstar Mahesh.

With Mahesh and Srinu already well entrenched in top league, so the limelight has fallen on this young bunch of writers, who really worked hard day and night and churned out of hundreds of dialogues, to give more scope for director to choose from, since has great flair for comedy and punchlines for action episodes. Already, with trailer, they passed out initial test, with dialogues of heroes comparing themselves with lions and tigers, catching like wildfire, so should be hoping to prove a point, with more such stuff in the 2/12 hour movie.

‘I’m in dire position now, please return my money Anjali’, says director Kalanjiyam, who is being treated in a hospital for multiple injuries related to road accident. According to couple of media reports, the director who has filed a case against Anjali for not allotting dates for his movie despite collecting advance is pleading the actress to realize truth.

A couple of days back when Kalanjiyam and his friend are traveling through Ongole to attend a marriage, they met with severe road accident. While director Kalanjiyam’s friend died on the spot, he was rushed to a nearby hospital before admitting in ICU. It is reported that the Tamil film maker ran out of money due to various financial issues these days. As Kalanjiyam is making these claims from a hospital bed, it is common that sympathy waves blow towards his side.

On the flip side, recently when actress Anjali was quizzed about director Kalanjiyam’s incident, she stated that the issue is all about her money. Also she is reluctant to speak further as the issue is under court’s hold now.

A private petition is filed in Malkajgiri Court accusing that Ram Gopal Varma has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus by insulting Hindu Gods and Goddesses, including Siva, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. An advocate named Sanjay has lodged the complaint, in turn Court ordered Kushaiguda Police to lodge case against RGV under Section 294(A) before investigating into the matter.

Earlier, Ram Gopal Varma has reportedly stated that there is no use of worshipping goddesses Lakshmi and Sarawathi who are failing time and again to make all the people in India richer and brainiest. Also he compared Lord Siva with dreaded terrorists of Al-Qaeda network, as the God killed his son Ganapathi by beheading him. Hurt by these comments against the religion he worships in a secular place like India, advocate Sanjay has filed the petition.

Its madness, fun and exciting as it brings attention. This is what we have to say about ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ as the fever grips on India’s top celebs and famous persons. On the flipside, there are hotties like Priyanka Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha, who proved that this challenge isn’t making any sense.

First of all, most of USA and Europe experience heavy cold and snowfall in the coming days making inhabitants feel uneasy to drench in cold water. As far as India is concerned, for the kind of hot climate we have, this ice-cube pouring seems simple. So the challenge makes sense in those countries but not in sub-continent. More than that, is anyone worried about the water scarcity we have, before dripping in ice? Underground water is depleting, open wells are drying up and municipal water supply is limited even in cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad. Are our celebs taking a note of this? Those who take up ice-bucket challenges are failing to create awareness about saving water, on how to use every drop productively.

Star heroine Priyanka Chopra publicly refused to take any certain challenges, as she felt like wasting water is not what India needs. Even voluptuous Sonakshi Sinha too advised same thing but by dropping a single ice-cube over her head, point out the scarcity of water. So we leave the choice to our celebs only.

Superstar Mahesh is a re-inventor of himself at all the instances. Always he strives to deliver something unique, new and never-seen kind with his silver screen characters. After getting nailed for his simple dancing skills, he has silenced critics with his stunning floor moves in ‘1: Nenokkadine’. So, what’s next?

Revealing that ardent fans are complaining about his limited and subtle dances, Mahesh himself shared that he has upped the body-shaking quotient in ‘1’. Roping the best-in-town dance master, he has wonderfully projected his new style of dancing under Prem Rakshit’s choreography. Sukumar’s concept might have got blotched but Mahesh’s ‘1’ dances are a hit. Continuing the same streak, Mahesh wanted Prem Rakshit for ‘Aagadu’ too, to try unseasoned dance moves. Obeying his request, Srinu Vaitla got this talented choreographer on board again.

Currently Prem Rakshit is busy in Switzerland making Mahesh come up with twisty disco and rock. Aagadu unit is caning a couple of romantic foot tapping numbers on Superstar and Tamanna, and will wrap the shoot in a couple of days. Expect Mahesh’s newer side in Aagadu as he moves swiftly on the floor with grace, timing and rhythm.

Big stars like Rajni and Surya make sure that their Tamil movies get dubbed into Telugu and release on same day. Tollywood stars however lag behind, as Charan and Bunny are taking at least a month gap for the release of their dubbed Malayalam, Tamil versions. And if you could believe, a ‘classic’ flick has taken 35 years to get dubbed. Shocking, isn’t it?

Winner of four National Awards, illustrious director K Viswanath’s marvelous work till date, hailed as one of the greatest Indian films of all time, Sankarabaranam will be released in Tamil next month. After its Telugu release in 1979, it is after 35 years the film is getting dubbed into another language. Earlier the flick was released in Malayalam dubbed version in 80s. Improvising the output of the flick, including color grading, scope correction and fully created new version of same old notes for re-recording, this Tamil Sankarabaranam might look brand new.

K Viswanath won National Award for Best Film while singers Bala Subrahmanyam and Vani Jayaram have won it in Best Male and Female singer category. For scoring a brilliantly stricking melodious classical msuci for the flick, KV Mahadevan too won a National Award. The same team has won Nandi Awards in these categories, with lyricst Veturi in addition. And lead actor JV Somayajulu has walked away with Best Actor Filmfare trophy for his work in ‘Sankarabaranam’.

Ability to identify talent, knack to project positive features of an actor is what a sensible director should have. When Chiranjeevi entered film industry through ‘Punadi Raallu’ movie, not many know that director K Raghavendra Rao predicted that he will become a big star. Not just star, today he became a history, a legend without whom Tollywood’s modern era goes unnoticed.

Ask K Raghavendra Rao about what lead him to predict such a wonderful future for a youngster named Siva Shankara Vara Prasad alias Chiranjeevi. His reply is awesome. ‘When Chiranjeevi was working on Punadi Raallu, producer Kranthi Kumar happened to show me his photo shoot. I’ve immediately noticed Chiru’s powerful eyes, which are just powerful and striking’, says KRR, admitting that ‘eyes’ has done whole magic for Chiru. Also the veteran director is amazed by Megastar’s dances, then and now.

Though Raghavendra Rao loved Chiru as an actor at the first instance in 1978’s Pranam Kareedu itself, it took couple of years for the duo to come together. In Shoban Babu’s 1980 starrer ‘Mosagadu’, Chiru played an antagonist role, acting for the first time in Raghavendra Rao’s film. Amazed by Chiru’s talent, KRR went on adding a special song for villain and second heroine (Sridevi played dual role). That’s the story folks!

Renu Desai and Pawan Kalyan might have parted their ways but that didn’t deter Renu to present a birthday gift to her ex husband. Renu is planning to release the theatrical trailer of her maiden directorial venture Ishq Wala Love on the eve of Pawan’s birthday, Sep 2.

Renu posted on her FB page, “And finally the most imp moment for me, the release of the theatrical trailer. Ishq Wala Love trailer is releasing on 2nd Sep14.” Previously, Renu had invited Pawan for the audio release of the film but in vain as Pawan was unwell and busy with the film shoot and couldn’t make it. She now decided to unveil the trailer as a present to Pawan. The movie is presented by Aadya Films and Akira Films will be dubbed into Telugu. Since Pawan’s loving kids Aadya and Akira Nandan’s names are involved, there is no way Pawan could get away from the project. What say folks?

Silencing all the rumors, Legend beauty Radhika Apte is back to play the much coveted second heroine role in Nandamuri Nata Simham’s latest flick. After considering the likes of Praneetha, Taapsee and Kriti Kharbanda, the makers have finally decided to cast Balayya’s ‘Mena Kodalu’ yet again consecutively.

Touted to be a high-end investigation drama that revolves around political scamsters, Satyadeva’s ‘Godse’ will see Balakrishna playing the role of a honest CBI officer. By paying around 1.25 cr as remuneration, already Chennai siren Trisha was roped for the lead lady’s role. However the makers are on a massive search for a second heroine, whose crucial role appears on screen in second half during flash back episodes.

With all available options either demanding hefty price or showing tantrums, Balayya has thought that bringing Radhika Apte would be a good gesture, provided with their recent track record. In blockbuster ‘Legend’, she played the role of Balayya’s elder nephew who runs after his ‘maavayya’ for love. So, the Legend beauty is on board!

Dazzling in girlie pink dress, hip beauty Ileana D’cruzz has set the ramp on fire when she swayed her beautiful body with a cat walk at the ongoing Lakme India fashion week. Portraying elegance and carrying the splendor, our curvaceous siren makes sure that her designers’ creation gets maximum attention with her innocent looks.

Rather going for a pompous display of her trademark waist and hip, this time she made it a hidden agenda. Giving ample view to trace her beautiful curves, Ileana’s bra-like blouse that got floral leaves stitched over it in shining black stole the attention. And that silver jewel wrapped around her neck and passing through her heavenly cleavage to find the other end around her waist is simply hot. Guess how many folks would love to turn into that ‘chain’ and pass through heaven!

Demanding hefty pay-checks was always part and parcel of Trisha Krishnan’s illustrious career, which took a dramatic downward curve couple of years back. And when she signed her recent Telugu flick, many thought as she lost offers she took that. But the fact is that she charged an astronomical sum, looking at the need.

To shake her legs with Nandamuri Balakrishna in the latest ‘Godse’, Trisha has charged an whopping 1.25 crores, revealed a source. Makers have doled out huge price for this dusky siren for the fact that they are finding it tough to sign a heroine for Balayya among the present generation flock. ‘Of course she is a fading heroine, but Balayya insisted that we go with her as her presence adds more glitter to the flick’, the source quipped.

Earlier, makers of Godse have approached Kajal Agarwal too, and she scared them by quoting 2 crores. When knocked doors, Tamanna rejected their proposal smoothly as she got no dates that time. And the only option was to settle down for Trisha, though she is fading she is pricey. Godse shooting is currently progressing briskly at RFC, with both Balayya and Trisha taking part in it.

It takes guts and confidence to say such lines. Actor-Producer Manchu Vishnu however claims that after starting film career as an extra in a handful of Hollywood films and later became a hero in Telugu movies, after doing 13 films in 11 years, his confidence has really doubled. But all his flicks till date are on one side, and his present accomplishment is on other side. Check this story.

‘If I have to pick films that made me proud as an actor, I’ll pick Rowdy and forthcoming release Anukshanam, though I’ve blockbusters with Dhee, Doosukelta and Pandavulu’, avers Vishnu, stressing the fact that Ram Gopal Varma extracted brilliant performance from him. ‘OK, Vishnu can act’, people will say now, he added further. ‘All these days I felt typecast as script writers crafted characters that suited by body language. But that actor in me always desired to challenge myself. It used to burn me until I met Ramu’, he says.

Ask him how he felt after delivering performance like a realistic IPS officer in RGV’s Anukshanam. ‘I can match up to any actor in the world, and that’s the confidence I’ve built up post Anukshanam’, he exudes. Made on a fraction of budget unlike his past flicks where there is 20-25 crores budget always, Anukshanam is distributed through online bidding and slated for Sep 2nd week release. ‘We’ll break even 80% of investment on day one itself’, Vishnu signed off.

Wonderful British actor, Oscar winning director, and moreover the creator of unforgettable flick ‘Gandhi’ has breathed his last. Richard Attenborough, who was in poor health from sometime, has passed away on Sunday. His death was confirmed by his son Michael, according to reports on BBC network.

Born in 1923, he took it to acting in 1942 in British Cinema. He was a trained pilot and took part in World War II also. In a career spanning 60 years, Richard Attenborough was famous both as an acclaimed actor and then he became a proven director. He excelled in supporting actor roles in artistic flicks like ‘The Flight of the Pheonix’ (1965), The Sand Pebbles (1966) and in ‘The Chess Players’ (1977) directed by none other than Indian great Satyajit Ray.

Richard’s directorial, Gandhi (1982), is not just an epic but was his greatest triumph. The film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won eight, including best picture, best director, best cinematography, best original screenplay and best actor (Ben Kingsley).

It came to light that the one film old Seenu has stunned media folks with his answer when they questioned him about ‘Rabhasa’. Ace producer Bellamkonda Suresh has produced two films back to back, ‘Alludu Seenu’, introducing his son Sreenivas as hero and ‘Rabhasa’ with Jr NTR. Argument is that he is not doing enough promotions for Tarak’s flick like the way he has done for his son’s movie.

When quizzed about why Rabhasa promotions are dismal, Bellamkonda Srinivas, the new hero on the block, has reportedly said that ‘distributors’ should take care of the publicity but not them. ‘For Alludu Seenu, as I’m a new face we have stormed the tinsel town with heightened publicity. As far as Rabhasa is concerned, we have sold that already to distributors and they need to take care of promotions’, said Seenu, as reported by trade circuits. In that case it is going to be an irresponsible comment because it is producer who needs to take care of promotions.

For a decade, Trisha Krishnan has dominated the tinsel towns of Telugu and Tamil. She starred with almost all the stars, and finally ended up at the dead end but luckily found couple of hopes. For one such big ‘resurrection’ day, there are just four days to go for this hottie.

Dry run hasn’t ended for this hot former Miss Chennai despite the fact that she had couple of movies in hand. She needs a big hit to rise like a phoenix. And for the first time in her career, Trisha is starring in a Kannada movie, ‘Power’ alongside Puneeth Rajkumar. This if official remake of Telugu blockbuster ‘Dookudu’ and recently Mahesh Babu unveiled the film’s audio. A grand release of ‘Power’ awaits on August 28 and that will decide Trisha’s fate in sandalwood, as the actress is open to accepting offers from K-town.

Apart from Power, Trisha would be soon seen in Balayya’s upcoming Telugu flick as a lead lady and in Ajith’s 55th movie as a second heroine. Fingers crossed for the now, as this former super starlet eagerly waits for Aug 28th, the deciding day.

Superstar Mahesh always picks up variety of roles. His characterization varies from film to film and that is what makes him versatile. But unlike his father, this young generation star hasn’t signed any double-action movie till date. Even fans desire from a time to see Mahesh versus Mahesh battle on big screen.

In olden days, acting in two roles for same movie in same frame used to be little complicated technically. But now Visual Effects are playing key role and young stunners like Jr NTR and Charan successfully impressed audiences in dual roles. Though Mahesh has ‘Nani’ earlier, that is not a full pledged dual role. Buzz has come to light that Mahesh Babu is also going to give that dual-role treat. In the upcoming Koratala Siva flick, Mahesh will be seen in dual roles, a doting elder brother and a college-going younger one. In that case, it will be an astounding treat for Superstar’s fans.

Sources in Koratala’s camp however denied disclosing any details about the story of this project. Mirchi director is not ready to give any hints about the project, apart from the fact that regular shooting is going to commence from September first week. We have to see how far this ‘dual’ act will come true.

Ram Charan has a great fondness for dogs and pets that he treats them like his kids. Charan himself shared this several times and he said his favourite dog is Brat and horse KAJAL gifted by his darling wife Upasna. Now Brat seems to have got company and it’s spotted playing with its friends while Charan looks on passionately.

Here is the sneak peek of the such happy moment where Charan is playing with a bunch of dogs and feeding them with love.

Highly anticipated movie of tollywood, ‘baahubali’ is heading for ‘Mahabaleswar’ on 26th of this month. Some crucial scenes will reportedly be shot on the lead cast in the sea coast of Mahabaleswar. Having wrapped up this schedule, the film unit will shift to RFC, to shoot the rest of the scenes in the movie. The movie gears up for summer,2015 release.

Young Rebel Star Prabhas, hero Rana, Anushka and Tamannah are doing the lead roles of this period drama. Keeravani is providing the music of the movie. The movie is being directed by ace director Rajamouli. Prasad Devineni and Shobhu Yarlagadda are producing the movie on Arka Media Works.
