Stirring the hornet’s nest, the whole issue of heroine Deepika Padukone hitting out at a leading newspaper that wrote about her ‘cleavage’ shows in public took a new turn on Friday. As noted critics have blasted the actress for ‘objectifying’ woman as sex-objects on silver screen and then hitting out at media houses that objectified her curvaceous body, Deepika has made another comment, only to face further embarrassment from media house.
 
On last Friday Deepika posted on her FB page, “A character may demand that I be clothed from head to toe or be completely naked, and it will be my choice as an actor whether or not I take either. Understand that this is a ROLE and not REAL, and it is my job to portray whatever character I choose to play convincingly”
 
Reacting on this, the media house questioned about the hypocrisy she is resorting too. “Deepika, you’ve flaunted your cleavage in ‘real’ life most of times at events, magazine shoots and dancing on stage. What ‘role’ do you play there?”, the newspaper questioned. Accepting that the headline of their ‘cleavage’ article should have been better, “World of online is different from newspaper. Sensational headlines are far from uncommon”, they defended.
 
Also Deepika has asked that if these media houses zoom onto a man’s crotch even while drooling over a hero’s 8 pack abs. Pat came the reply from media house, ‘Deepika, we’re also not zooming on woman’s vagina and nipples, and if there is any we take utmost care to pixelate them before publishing’. The media house finally concluded that Deepika is making perfect publicity out of this, as her film is nearing release. Her ‘Happy New Year’ featuring Shahrukh will hit screens on October 24. 

There is a Telugu saying- “Six months after thieves looted the house, dogs have barked” – pointing out how some people respond quite late to any grave situation. Similar punch could be felt with Tamil hero, popular Arjun Sarja as he has taken to clear all doubts at a time truth is out by kilometers already.

Highly placed sources already confirmed that Kannada Superstar Upendra is playing a key role, probably villain, in upcoming romantic drama that is coming from Allu Arjun and Trivikram combo. Though Tamil star Arjun was considered for this role earlier, he is reluctant to sign up and makers have then approached Upendra for it. However, rumors kept coming up that Arjun is turning protagonist for Bunny.

Rather condemning them all these days, Arjun Sarja has finally come up with an explanation now. He clarified that he isn’t interested to take up any such roles from any filmmaker. Probably he felt sad as his negative role in Mani Ratnam’s Kadali got misfired. Anyway, Arjun is not locking horns with stylish Arjun, so no more rumours please! 

Considering the massive expectations on Shankar’s upcoming magnum opus I, Telugu production house Mega Super Good Films has bagged the Telugu dubbing rights of the film. R.B Chowdary and NV Prasad dug deep into their pockets to pay the ‘record’ price for the Telugu rights. 

Made with a whopping Rs 180 Crore budget, the film stars Vikram and Amy Jackson in the lead roles. The movie’s music score was recently launched by Arnold Schwarzenegger at a grand gala do in Chennai. The latest buzz is the audio of Telugu version will be unveiled in Hyderabad on October 2. The movie is slated for release on October 23. 

Sreenu Vaitla, the dashing director who scored stunning hit with Dookudu got criticized when he made ‘Baadshah’ with routine content.

Given that Aagadu is also on similar lines, generating mixed talk though hype is of blockbuster range, it is a moment of embarrassment for our talented filmmaker. And it seems like it is not gonna cakewalk for his next venture.

Apparently Sreenu is all set to don ‘mega’ hat for Ram Charan’s next flick. But the result of ‘Aagadu’ might suffocate the director a bit as it failed to meet ‘blockbuster’ expectations. Mahesh Babu has run the show single handedly, while Sreenu’s contribution looked little dull and routine.

Coming to his next mega flick, Charan and his ‘elite’ batch are known for pressurizing directors to keep away from ‘routine’. Already we have seen Boyapati Sreenu walking out of mega camp, while Koratala Siva’s second flick with Cherry is stalled mid-way after muhurat event.

Taking a cue from these happening, we could say that it will not be cake walk for Vaitla for his next. 

It is known that Bollywood popular star Sanjay Dutt, son of yesteryear great late Sunil Dutt is serving jail sentence after getting convicted for 1993 Mumbai blasts. 

Currently he is put up in Yerawada Central Jail and Sanjay Dutt is currently been assigned the job of making paper jobs. According to the latest Sanjay Dutt got a pay hike in his new job. 

Sources from Yerawada jail in Pune says the actor who has been earning Rs 25-30 per day will now be rewarded a pay hike of Rs 15. From now he will be getting Rs 45 a day for the same job after wages have been revised. 

Government of Maharashtra decided to increase wages of prisoners after Gujarat,karanaka and Tihar prisioners revised their salaries.

If rumour mills are to be believed, young Telugu hero Aadi Saikumar is likely to get married soon. Rumour has it that Aadi is in love with a girl and said to be gearing up to marry her. Buzz is that Aadi’s family has given green signal to the proposal and so bride-to-be’s family. We hear that both families are now looking for auspicious muhurat. If all goes well, Aadi will tie the knot in Jan 2015.

Aadi, the scion of actor-dubbing artiste Sai Kumar, carved out a niche for himself and proved his mettle with films like Prema Kavali, Lovely, Gaalipatam. Though his films like Sukumarudu tanked at Box Office, he got noticed for his acting prowess. Not long ago, Sai Kumar did his daughter’s wedding in grand way. Looks like, now it’s turn of Aadi. 

No doubt SS Thaman is the most prolific music composer in Telugu and Tamil film industries. In a very short span of his career, the actor-turned-musician is credited for 50 films as music director. And the landmark 50th film is Mahesh Babu-starrer Aagadu. While the film opened to packed theatres, it got mixed reviews. And many lamented Thaman’s work in the film.

Most of audience and critics opine that the songs in Aagadu look “so good” than they “sound”. This itself says that the tunes are no match to the dances of Mahesh and Tamanna and the visuals captured by Guhan. It’s high time for Thaman to reconcile and swiftly change his style of work, else Thaman will soon be in trouble. Many now describing Aagadu as “warning bell” for Thaman. It need to be seen whether Thaman comes back to his previous form and bounces back with a bang. 

BJP leader and Rebel Star Krishnam Raju has taken potshots at his peer Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Reacting to Chiru’s jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ruling for 100-days, Krishnam Raju shot back, “Is this a film to change things overnight? There is difference between politics and films.” Mr Raju added that it takes sometime to understand the transition in the nation of 1.21 billion people.

Krishnam Raju was accompanied by present BJP and ex Congress leader Kavuri Sambasaiva Rao during the meeting at Eluru of West Godavari district. Hitting at Chiru and his party, Krishnam Raju further said, “Even people who can’t get deposits also pointing fingers at us.” With Krishnam Raju taking on Chiru directly, let’s see how Chiru’s camp retorts now. 

Much hyped star-kid, heir of Akkinneni clan, Akhil is yet to announce his debut, despite anticipation that an announcement will come on ANR’s birthday. Akhil made it clear that he want to debut with a ‘blockbuster’ flick that history will remember in golden ink. And here comes golden insider information.

Even before making his mark on Tollywood, Akhil is tightening buckles to make his presence felt on TV. Annapurna Studio sources revealed that the youngster has signed leading watch brand ‘Titan’ to become their ambassador. He will be featuring in the watch commercials that will be aired in Telugu states and Telugu channels. Generally big stars like Amir Khan and Katrina Kaif have endorsed this brand or we have seen purely unknown actors doing the job. But Akhil is surely a new and distinct bet for the job.

India’s top director Shankar’s ‘ai’ movie’s audio launch was held in Chennai on September 15. Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tamil superstar Rajinikanth graced the occasion as chief guests. Apart from the audio the makers have released the theatrical trailer as well, which got stunning response among the netigens.

The makers of the movie are now planning to launch the Telugu version’s audio on 2nd of October. Buzz that the movie may not get released on the scheduled release date of 22nd October. But then, the makers have not yet confirmed the postponement of the movie. AR Rehaman has scored the music of the movie. Vikram and Amy Jackson have played the lead roles of this costliest movie of tollywood.

mahesh babu, the Ghattamaneni Star who is known to be a big competitor for Tollywood or South India No 1 position is falling down the graph. After delivering industry hits like ‘Pokiri, Dookudu,’ the image of Mahesh was not the same. Pre release business scale of ‘Aagadu’ went on to show how great Fan following and standards of trade base mahesh babu has developed. However, the situations changed in just two days with gradual fall of collections for ‘Aagadu’ with a strong divided talk.

Inner sources are reporting that, despite presence of mahesh babu, it is the weak direction of Srinu Vytla which has hurt the film output considerably. Coming two to three days would be so crucial for distributors and exhibitors to save their MG deposits. May be no one would have expected this kind of a result for Mahesh film. What happened to mahesh babu, why is this rapid decline?

Struggling hero Gopichand should be rendering many thanks to Mahesh Babu. Yes, the new movie of Gopichand titled ‘loukyam’ is all set to hit the screens on 26th of this month. In fact, when hero like Mahesh Babu is playing on the pitch with a big film like ‘Aagadu,’ definitely none of the producers will show the interest in pitting their movies against Mahesh. Strangely, once the talk for ‘Aagadu’ has been declared as unanimously divided, the makers of ‘loukyam’ have taken the decision then and there to keep Gopi opposite to Mahesh.

Directed by Sriwass, the film of ‘loukyam’ has got positive response from the trailers and this can be treated as a definite comeback film for Gopichand. For any kind of positive talk on release day of 26th, we are going to see complete disappearance of ‘Aagadu’ from theaters. Let us see, what happens.

srinu vytla’s stardom as a top director is at big risk. The man who gave hilarious films for Telugu audience with many medium and star heroes has hit to ground zero due to continuous attack from critics and anti fans on ‘Aagadu.’ As the film is carrying a sudden drop down in collections, Srinu is blamed as the whole reason for damaging Mahesh Babu’s incredible image. On analyzing the reasons behind Srinu’s failure with this film, we can find only one standard reason of throwing Gopi Mohan, Kona Venkat out of the team.

Yes, Srinu expelled these two successful writers from his team owing to ego issues. Without Kona and Gopi, definitely the team of Srinu suffered with a weak spine. ‘Aagadu’ result should be an eye opener for Srinu and he should call back both his good friends back.

Prince Mahesh’s ‘aagadu’ collected a share of Rs.13.00 crores at the end of its two days run in AP and Telangana. Given below is the area wise break up of shares.

Superstar Mahesh Babu has mesmerized one and all in his just released Aagadu. No doubt, Mahesh improved his acting prowess substantially over the years and he is now at his best in comedy. His performance as Encounter Shankar in Aagadu is quintessential proof and it says that all.

His histrionics, comic timing, delivery of dialogues all together say that Mahesh is in terrific form. He even outwitted the likes of Brahmanandam and Posani Krishna Murali in the film and steal the show. Aagadu is totally Mahesh’s show and he occupies the chunk of the screen space. Above all Mahesh’s dance moves in Aagadu are best in his career. Mahesh shook his legs like never before.

Comedy is one thing which many star heroes avoid as it is not easy to carry off. Even a small percentage of dose varies, it works against the film. Yet Mahesh dared and took up the role as challenge. He even carried off the role with ease. Mahesh did his best in Dookudu and Aagadu and he definitely going to walk away with all the laurels for Aagadu. Don’t miss Mahesh’s histrionics in Aagadu, it’s his one of the best performances. One should watch Aagadu just for Mahesh!

Many projects are initially scripted for one particular hero but eventually they end up with someone else. From Pokiri to Race Gurram, that is the situation. If we have to by the recent happenings in Suresh Productions office, young hero Nani will be wearing the ‘Kavacham’ designed for Rana Daggubati.

After scoring flops with flicks like ‘Nenu Na Rakshasi’ and ‘Na Ishtam’, Rana move to some character-artist roles including that of villain Ballaladeva in magnum opus ‘Baahubali’. But he has lineup a series of flicks including Andala Rakshasi fame Hanu Raghavapudi’s Kavacham and Parasuram’s Chuttalabbayi to star as a hero. But things are not working out it seems, Hanu has now moved on to direct hero Nani in his next.

Insiders revealed that Rana’s Kavacham is what Nani will star in, but our hero’s acquaintances revealed that it’s a new story. ‘Nani has now given up signing experimental and upbeat cinema. He just want to pick commercial entertainers’, the source said.

If ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’ is releasing on October 1st without any slightest delay, then it is going to be huge advantage for the flick. Also if its colorful ‘family’ content could really impress, then Ram Charan will be able to unleash his box office potential to the fuller. Check out why and how.

Apparently when Mahesh Babu’s ‘Aagadu’ got advanced to two weeks from October 2nd Dasara weekend to September 19th, definitely trade circles felt that Charan got huge advantage as one ‘odd’ hurdled out. And now that ‘Aagadu’ hasn’t become any blockbuster of sorts, there will no other competition that could shake Charan’s presence at box office. Barring Naga Chaitanya’s ‘Oka Laila Kosam’ and Shankar’s ‘I’, the whole of October is not going to see any star-hero flick hitting screens. This cleared ‘competition’ odds then.

Also by the time ‘Govindudu’ releases, power of ‘Power’ and ‘Aagadu’ will not hold firm grip at theatres, so exhibitors might opt to screen Charan’s movie to cash on the initial craze. There is no ‘odd’ and difficulty situation to find more theatres. With all these powerful odds swaying in his benefit, if Krishna Vamsi could hold audiences to seats with rich and engaging content, then the trophy is Charan’s again.
