Legendary Amitabh Bachhan is also playing a crucial role in this flick that is getting wrapped at brisk pace.

Exposing the gross negligent attitude of bus drivers in Hyderabad city, another incident has come to light. Versatile actor Prakash Raj’s car that is waiting at a signal in Hyderabad was hit by a bus from behind.

A government operated bus has rammed into Prakash’s vehicle, before hitting few other vehicles causing chaos. Our talented actor is safe and on his way to airport to catch next flight home, and there are no other causalities too. Revealing about the incident, Prakash Raj stated that he is depressed by the inhuman attitude of people around when the accident took place.

Rather helping the needful, especially a family that has fallen out of an auto when the bus rammed, youths around are busy clicking pictures on their mobile phones. ‘Instead of saving people who were lying thrown around, youngsters are taking their pictures. What happened to us, where are we heading? It is really shame’, said Prakash Raj, in an emotional tone.

‘I’m shaken by this inhuman attitude. Also realized my helplessness and fragility of life, and the only way is to live it long as it lasts’, he concluded. Prakash Raj is in Hyderabad to wrap up his last day of shoot for Gunasekhar’s Rudramadevi, and the incident .

Mahesh Babu’s Aagadu is getting hotter by the day. Recently launched teaser is a super hit thus increasing the hype and hoopla around the film. Mahesh’s out and out mass portrayal as police inspector gives us a feeling that he is going to hit big this time. Mahesh Babu didn’t do many mass friendly roles in his career so far.

Except for Pokiri, there is no other mass masala movie in Mahesh’s filmography. Aagadu is going to be the next Pokiri for him. Can this film too go on to become the biggest hit of Telugu film industry? We have wait for few more days to know that. Meanwhile Mahesh is concentrating more on penetrating into the masses now. He has a very strong fan base among the class and A center audience. Mass following has been his weak link until now.

This is where his close competitors like NTR and Charan are scoring big. Mahesh is working on his weaknesses to make it tougher for his competitors to catch up with him. Charan and NTR are already struggling to match Mahesh’s stamina in overseas and Nizam. With Mahesh focusing on their area of strength, it would be hard for these heroes to surpass the Superstar in coming days.

Vishnu Manchu’s Anukshanam has been cleared by the regional Censor Board. CBFC has cleared the film on Tuesday with ‘A’ Certificate without any cuts. Billed to be a movie on serial killings in Hyderabad city by a miscreant cab driver, the movie has RGV’s trademark intense, violence scenes which led Censor to opt for A certificate.

Apart from this, we hear that the film has no “double meanings” or “derogatory” remarks or no “controversial” issues. Sources in the know shared, “Censor Board was all praises for Anukshanam as the movie takes on social evil, attacks against women. Regional Officer Dhanalaxmi too liked the film. After a while, RGV will be back with a bang with this film.”

If all goes well, the movie will hit the marquee on September 5, on the eve of Teachers’ Day.

Leakages have become virus these days, and whenever it rains they dance in joy. More precisely speaking, just before a big-budgeted flick’s release, these leakages take a toll. Anyway the kind of leakages Surya’s latest movie is experiencing will not be painstaking for sure.

Various stories are doing rounds in media that the ‘real story’ of Surya’s latest action entertainer ‘Sikander’ is out. It is being publicized that this film is about two friends, Surya and Vidyut Jamwal, and when Vidyut gets killed his friend Surya too fakes death. Later he comes up in a changed look as brother of gangster Surya and finds out the real shocking facts behind his friend’s death. Well, some trade analysts predict that this leakage will forfeit chances of Surya at box office. Definitely not!

A look at trailer of this Linguswamy directorial creates similar story idea even for a common movie viewer. Are Surya and his director so dumb that they will reveal everything by trailer itself? Also Linguswamy is a master in screenplay and his main caliber is carving out a gripping thriller even from regular story. So, there is no need to worry about story-leakage of Sikander, slated for August 15 release.

Superstar NTR is leaving no stone unturned to deliver a blockbuster and is reportedly insisting on chopping off 6 to 8 minutes of unnecessary scenes and dialogues to make it tight and viewer-friendly. Highly reliable sources claim that these portions were shot by director Santhosh Srinivas, when he was having differences with Nandamuri scion.

Although the Kandireega director rubbished rumours of rift as baseless, our source maintains that even seasoned director Vinayak once interfered and sorted out issues with director, on the request of producer Bellamkonda suresh, so director can’t rule out every thing. The friction led to NTR taking more interest in the film and he is making sure that he would satisfy viewers beyond his fans, to erase the bad memories of debacles like Ramayya Vastavayya, Dammu and Oosaravelli. So NTR is particular about editing the unnecessary and drab stuff, since he doesn’t want to take any risks. Who said, t-town stars don’t take keen interest in their movies…think again folks.

Social networks are abuzz from today morning about young composer Thaman’s plagiarism. Cine lovers are busy accusing that he stole yet another stunning music track, this time from a Malayalam flick, and used it as background music for Superstar Mahesh Babu. However, truth seems to be inverse of this.

More than his song tunes, Thaman provides versatile and never before heard of kind sounds for background scores. His latest one for Mahesh Babu’s Aagadu is pretty outstanding. It catapulted Thaman into a big league of composers who are known for scoring exceptional theme music. However, netizens blamed Thaman saying that he copied the score from a Malayalam flick titled ‘Avataaram’, whose music is composed by popular Deepak Dev. Fans and Anti-fans are fighting over this, but the truth is on Thaman’s side this time.

Way back in May, Thaman composed the background score of Aagadu and some vocal hymns and chorus we hear in Aagadu theme come directly from Thaman’s mouth. But Malayali movie Avataram trailer was released just three weeks back and features the same theme song, including vocals. Is there any point accusing that Aagadu copied it? It is vice-versa!

Remember Ester Noronha? Well, she made her debut with Sai Ram Shankar-starrer 1000 Abaddalu. Though the movie turned out to be a debacle and she didn’t get noticed much, she bagged a second film. Her second film was opposite Suneel in Bheemavaram Bullodu under Suresh Productions. Even this film didn’t change her fortunes much. The latest is Ester has bagged yet another film where she will be pairing up with Srikanth. The yet-to-be-titled film is going onto floors shortly and we hear that Ester plays village belle in the film.

Director Teja’s heroines have a special skill to bounce back and most of them proved successful in showbiz. Be it Kajal Aggarwal (Lakshmi Kalyanam) or Sada (Jayam) or Anita (Nuvvu Nenu) or Nanditha (Neeku Naaku Dash Dash, Prema Katha Chitram fame) have carved out a niche for themselves. Let’s see whether Ester do fall in same line or not. We have to wait and watch if Ester is third time lucky or not.

There is no time for relaxing, if a Telugu star wants to make his movie pocket around 50 crores of collections. They should stand on toes, work relentlessly and capture other territories to shower gold coins for producers. Young hero Naga Chaitanya is thinking about the same now.

Basking in the glory of Manam’s overwhelming success, Chaitanya revealed his plans. He wants to expand his base to Kollywood too as he could speak Tamil fluently. Being brought-up in Chennai for a while, the young romantic hero knows the ins and outs of the film industry there too. Though Chaitu is contemplating to come up with a bilingual, it will not be a good idea.

First he should dub his Telugu flicks into Tamil, and lend his own voice to create an identity. That is what Karthi did in Tollywood and now he became a familiar and market-dominating hero. Once if he grabs market-share and his presence starts bringing openings, then a bilingual will do wonders. What say Chaitu?

Ram Charan is one hero who doesn’t run after successful directors and is ready to take huge risks by signing up flop directors and relatively unknown directors. He took a brave decision of doing a film with Sampath Nandi, who didn’t have prior experience of dealing with a superstar.

Charan is currently doing Govindudu Andarivadele with Krishna Vamsi, who has been struggling to make decent films. Fans are happy to know that Charan’s next will be with hot shot director Srinu Vytla. But the buzz about that film is putting them in endless tension. As per film circles, Srinu Vytla is coming out of his comfort zone to make an out and out action film with Ram Charan.

Srinu Vytla’s forte is comedy and every hit film of his had superb comedy besides all the commercial ingredients. Vytla is trying to make a film that has negligible comedy it seems. This thought itself is giving nightmares to Ram Charan fans. However these are only rumors as neither Charan nor Srinu Vytla didn’t speak anything about their project yet. Let’s hope Vytla and Charan’s film would be a perfect combination of comedy and action to please every section of audience.

After effects of certain incidents are so impactful that they keep on haunting us day and night. Perhaps, curly haired siren Taapsee Pannu is in similar phase. Her mind is full of Greek sculptures, serene white sand beaches and fun. All these feelings happen to be repercussions of her recent trip.

To celebrate her birthday with friends, Taapsee has recently visited the European country of Greece and spent a bountiful of time at Athens city. Touring historical sites, tasting food, enjoying music and posing for photographs, our hottie has let her wilder side out on the other side of globe. Unable to come out of that blissful titillation, Taapsee is busy sharing those thrills with her fans on social network. Maybe in the coming days we have volumes of Taapsee’s Greece adventures coming out to enthrall us.

Its an apt title for Ravi Teja right now, since his star prowess is on test with his upcoming film ‘Power’ and he should be able to cross 30-crore mark and join the big league of actors. Even though, he is hailed as a ‘mass maharaja’ but except for Balupu, he had delivered more flops like ‘Devudu Chesina…’, ‘Veera’ and Nippu’ in recent times and questioning his missing link with new-age viewers.

No doubt, he is a master in energetic roles and tickling laughing bones, but with other superstars like Pawan and Mahesh and NTR, also dabbling in comedy, did Ravi lose his space to these stars or still has in it in him, to regain his glory of Kick days.

Unlike, Pawan, Mahesh or NTR, Kick star can’t boast of thousands of fan clubs, but distributors claims that he has a ‘floating fan following’ and not ‘fixed following’ and it all depends on the success of his each film. So lets see, how Ravi who is known for a care-a-damn attitude and positive mindset, would silence his critics with Power.

Ace director S S Rajamouli apart from his consecutive blockbusters, is all setting a new trend in T-town, since he has turned a partner for his production ‘Baahubali’ and would earn his share of money after trading off the film. Usually, directors, writers and other technicians draw a ‘specific salary’ for their work, but Rajamouli broke this rule too.

It all started with ‘Maryada Ramanna’ where he reportedly took share from the business of the comic-caper with producer house ARKA media and reportedly pocketed 11 crores since it was sold for 24-odd cfrores, says a source. When he got opportunity to work with the same production house again, ‘Bahubali’ he could have easily walked away with a remuneration of 15 to 18 crores, considering his enviable success streak. But he preferred to again join as a partner in the 100-crore budget and didn’t take any remuneration till date and would be waiting to make his earnings only next year, once the film is sold to distributors.

Already, producer-distributor Dil raju has pumped in 25 crores for Nizam, so others would follow suit, to cover the big investment. ‘Going the sensational craze the film has evoked, Rajamoli would be making atleast 25 crores next year’ adds the source. Being a good human, he doesn’t want to put a producer completely in ‘risk’ and prefers to share profit or loss, since the budget is huge, hope other directors follow suit, since their remuneration have become too high. Top directors should learn a lesson or two from the maker of Eega?

Oscar Winning actor and noted comedian Robin Williams was found dead on Monday at his home in California. According to police, it was a suspected suicide and Mr Williams was found “unconscious and not breathing inside his residence”.

I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief.”

Williams is one of the most beloved American entertainers of his generation, He rose to fame with US television sitcom “Mork & Mindy”. His popular films include 1987’s “Good Morning Vietnam”, 1989’s “Dead Poets Society” besides several others.

It has become a common practice Prince Mahesh Babu and Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s movies releasing together in the same seasons with a very short span of time in between. ‘Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and ‘Naayak’ were clashed at the box office during the season of Sankranthi in 2013. Both the movies got the victories at the box office.

Once again, Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu fought for the Pongal Cup this year with their movies ‘Yevadu’ and ‘1-Nenokkadine’. ‘Yevadu’ showed clear domination on ‘1-Nenokkadine’ this time. The third time clash of these two heroes will be happening during the season of Dussehra this year with their movies ‘Govindhudu Andarivaadele’ and ‘Aagadu’. Everybody is eagerly waiting for the releases of both the movies.

Meanwhile, Mahesh’s new movie was launched on August 11 and the regular shoot of this movie will start from September. This Koratala Siva’s directorial venture will be releasing for summer, 2015. On the other side, Ram Charan and Srinu Vaitla’s combo movie will go on floors in the month of November this year. If the movie’s shoot gets progressed in a brisk pace without any interruptions, this movie will also get released for summer. If this really happens, we witness 4th time clash of Mahesh and Ram Charan. Whatever it is, even if there is a clash or not, wish that both the stars will rock at the box office with the blockbuster results of their movies.
