According to police, Tractor Venkanna, accused in the fatal car accident of Janakiram, has voluntarily conceded his ‘mistake’. However, Venkanna said to have explained to police that he was trying to cross the road. 

It may be recalled that the tragic accident occurred on Saturday evening at Akupamula near Kodada in Nalgonda when Janakiram’s Safari (AP29 BD2323) rammed into tractor coming in opposite direction in the wrong-route. Janakiram’s car apparently overturned thrice and fell in a roadside ditch 100 metres away resulting in fatal injuries for the 38-yr-old Janakiram.

Character artists in Tollywood are demanding huge remunerations these days. Their per day remuneration system is more profitable and some of them are earning more than the heroes and heroines. Earlier, only some directors used to sign the entire comedy crew. But now, each and every film needs entertainment. 

Most of our top directors have come to a stage that they are not able to make films without comedy. So, male and female character artists have become important for any film. Hema aunty is one of the popular female character artists in Tollywood. She has appeared in family, comedy and vulgar roles so far and she doesn’t mind to utter non-veg jokes on screen.

While the other artists reach the shooting spot in saris, Hema loves to arrive in tight tops and pants. She must be comfortable with these tight pants and no one seems to be complaining about this as this hot aunty is trying her level best to motivate the male artists on the sets.

Actress Trisha set off to Delhi a few days ago with her friends. While she tweeted “Delhiiiiii wit ma loves,” it was speculated whether she was off on a holiday with her friends or with Varun Manian, with whom she was rumoured to have gotten secretly engaged recently.

It is public knowledge that KCR has asked GHMC to demolish all illegal constructions or those constructions strictly not according to specifications in the city of Hyderabad. Many see the move as an indirect way of getting back at Seemandhra biggies and especially those from the Tollywood fraternity. 

Recently, actor Venkatesh was issued summons by the GHMC and the actor also came out giving a clarification on the same. It is believed that Venkatesh has demolished a few sheds which were termed as illegal in his property. The latest news doing the rounds is that a building belonging to Pawan Kalyan has been demolished. 

What is unclear is whether this is a voluntary act on the part of Pawan for Vaasthu reasons or a decision taken by GHMC. If GHMC and KCR are behind this then one can definitely expect fireworks from Pawan fans.

Rumour mongers in the Filmnagar are going mad that Puri Jagannadh is linked to his Heart Attack heroine, Adah Sharma. After introducing Adah with Heart Attack, Puri is pretty much taking care of Adah’s marketing in Tollywood. His office is taking care of Adah’s Photoshoots and marketing her in media as well as with the producers. They say Puri is even recommending her for other producers. 

However sources close to Puri rubbishes these rumours. “Puri Sir is a perfect gentleman. He is helpful to all the technicians and artists who worked with him. He is helping Adah in a similar way as others who worked with him. All the other rumours are just baseless and totally untrue”. Puri Jagannadh is currently busy in the shooting and post production works of his upcoming film, Temper.  

Adah’s career is not a cakewalk after Heart Attack success. The Milky White Actress currently has got two Telugu films in hand – Garam opposite Aadi and Untitled film of Allu Arjun being directed by Trivikram Srinivas. She is also doing a Kannnada film, Dheera Rana Vikrama. She has pinned many hopes on all these three films and expects to do big in the film industry going further.

Debut films are always important for any actor to establish his foothold in the film industry. It will be slightly easy for the launch if he happens to be a star kid or a guy with some filmy background. Today we see some of the excellent debuts in Telugu film industry in the recent times. To begin with, Mega Power Star Ram Charan, as the scion of Chiranjeevi leads the race. 

Chirutha – 25 Cr 

Alludu Seenu – 24.5 Cr 

Nuvve Kavali – 19 Cr 

Jayam – 18.5 Cr 

Devadasu – 13 Cr 

Rajakumarudu – 10.5 Cr 

Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham – 10.2 Cr 

Box Office Experts say despite Chirutha being the biggest hit in terms of collections, Nuvve Kavali is the most successful debut since the movie went on to become an industry hit. Jayam is also equally great since collecting 18.5 Crore then is not an easy task that too for a debutante. And on the other side, Worst debut can be Alludu Seenu, despite investing so much and collecting that much, the film could not provide a good launchpad for the hero, Bellamkonda Srinivas.
