One flop made him sit at desk revisiting his mistakes and working out harder to bounce back strongly. Harish Shankar is a dashing director in Tollywood, until Ramayya Vastavayya started throwing nightmares into his career. And finally there is something in plate for this young director.

As we said earlier, ‘Subrahmanyam For Sale’ is an forthcoming flick that will be helmed by Harish, while Allu Arvind and Dil Raju are producing it on their United Friends banner. This film has mega ‘menalludu’ Sai Dharam Tej in the lead despite the fact that his two initial movies, debut Rey and second one Pilla Nuvvuleni Jeevitham are yet to see light. In-between there are rumors that Harish Shankar will pick Mega ‘mavayya’ Pawan Kalyan to carve out Gabbar Singh 2.

When director Sampath Nandi repeatedly heard of failing to impress Pawan with his script, these gossips started billowing. Badly in need of a blockbuster, Harish has finally singled out his choice among the available mega heroes. He will be working with Sai Dharam Tej from September to complete ‘Subhrahmanyam For Sale’ in a single schedule. So, no more rumors!

Quashing all those rumours being heard about the crunched financial position of Young Tiger’s Rabhasa, producer Bellamkonda Suresh has given final twist to the whole episode. He confirmed in a press-release that the flick will hits screens on August 29th as scheduled.

‘Music scored by Thaman turned huge chartbuster. We are expecting that the movie will also turn biggest blockbuster in NTR’s career after its release on 29th across the globe. Very soon, we’ll hold a platinum disc function’, said Bellamkonda, confirming the release. However he remained tight lipped about the financial issues being spoke at large among trade circuits.

Slated to be a pakka mass entertainer, Rabhasa is going to be a high voltage action treat from Jr NTR. Beautiful sirens Samantha and Praneetha are unveiling their glamorous side for the flick. Kandireega fame Santosh Srinivas directed the movie. So, get ready for Rabhasa in theatres from this Vinayaka Chaturdhi.

On January 5th this year, a popular star that was once a powerful spark in the sky has disappeared permanently. Tollywood had woke up to the bitter truth that hero Uday Kiran has committed suicide at his flat in Srinagar Colony. Amongst accusations and advices, finally he is laid to rest the next day after a postmortem. However there is mystery surrounding his death as media exposed so many unsolved clues.

Finally, the much awaited forensic report of Uday’s autopsy has arrived, putting all the speculations to permanent rest. Experts revealed that Uday Kiran lost his life due to difficulty in breathing, which is more likely due to choking caused by fastening of a thread around his neck. Also it is mentioned that Uday consumed alcohol before committing suicide. Police have registered as a case of suspected death then, but hasn’t filed any charge sheet as forensic report is pending. However the report has now proved that Uday has committed suicide and there is no foul play.

Superstar Mahesh babu wanted to step into production by co-producing Dhookudu remake in Hindi with Salman Khan and even used to announce that Salman would suit the role better and even mediators, screened the comic-caper to Dabbang star. But with Mahesh reportedly insisting on director Srinu Vytla to direct the Hindi version, to sustain the flavor, while Slaman preferred to have a top Hindi filmmaker, so finally, it got stuck.

However, it seems that Mahesh Babu has shelved his idea of turning a producer with a B-town film and would be focusing on acting alone, since he has no plans to produce any Telugu film, despite a market of 65-crore, because his brother Ramesh and sister Manjula, failed as producers, so Aagadu star dropped his ambitions. Its wise decision, considering the risks iand big stakes involved in production these days? What u say folks ?

What’s happening with Young Tiger NTR’s latest movie ‘Rabhasa’ that is waiting for a release from a time? Music director Thaman confirmed the other day about wrapping up of re-recording and that made the flick ready for Censor certification. But with no word from producer Bellamkonda Suresh about the release date, except the confirmation that the flick will be made available in theatres by August, there is lot of vagueness.

Buzz in Film Nagar has brought it to light that Rabhasa is facing severe financial crunch due to some hasty decisions taken by producer Bellamkonda Suresh. Dilemma started once the producer’s previous release Alludu Seenu failed to recover the full pledged investment from box office for distributors. Maybe Bellamkonda should have cleared the arrears and rolled out red carpet for NTR’s movie, but he has rushed to Boyapati Seenu regarding his son’s second movie. After paying 5 crores advance to Legend director, he is left with no option except making distributors wait. This fund crisis has finally led to a situation where distributors are asking for ‘Vitamin M’ to release Rabhasa on time. That is said to be taking toll on August 29 release date.

Noticing Rabhasa’s struggles to hit theatres on 29th, Naga Chaitanya has fashioned a clever move by advancing his flick from Sep 5 to 29. This move is adding more fuel to the fire that Rabhasa is postponed indefinitely once again. We have to wait for Bellamkonda’s word about these happenings before commenting any further.

Most celebrated father and son duo of Telugu Cinema Industry is busy smashing coconuts on the floor today morning. This is not to beat the drum about things happening in their family lives or professional lives. But this is purely for their friends.

Mega producer Allu Arvind has launched the latest movie of comedy hero Sunil today (August 20). Tipped to be a comedy caper, Dil Raju is producing this flick while his longtime associate Vasu Varma of Josh fame is wielding mega phone for the second time. If this idealistic father is busy here, where is his energetic son then?

Allu Arjun has graced the opening ceremony of Mass Raja Raviteja’s Kick 2. Being produced by Kalyan Ram, this second edition of a confounding protagonist will have Surender Reddy in the captain’s seat. Though the Father and Son are at different places, guess what they are doing. Smashing coconuts!

Let us wish Sunil’s dry run and Raviteja’s slow saga will end with these two flicks.

Floating on cloud nine over the response he is getting for ‘Oka Laila Kosam’ promotions, romantic lad Naga Chaitanya is a happy man now. In a bid to share this happiness with dad Nagarjuna, he has decided to offer the movie as a gift to him.

‘Oka Laila Kosam’ was initially slated for September 5th release, and publicity is at full swing to rake up huge hype for the romantic love saga. However, Chaitu is emphatic to give this Laila as birthday present to his doting father, King Nagarjuna on 29th August. Oka Laila Kosam is now advanced to Nag’s birthday eve on Aug 29, rather its original Sep 5 and distributors are making arrangements to fetch maximum number of theatres without any issues. Buzz is that ‘Rabhasa’ hasn’t confirmed its presence yet in theatres and that made Chaitu advance his flick without any worries.

Already, album scored by Anup Rubens clicked well with youths. Chaitanya’s colorful look and lover boy expressions are a big hit with lady fans. Movie content shown in trailers generated curiosity. With all this buzz in pocket, undoubtedly this is going to be best birthday gift for Nag from his elder son.

Amidst speculations that Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh’s ‘Gopala Gopala’ is all set to take on box office this Diwali, there is a highly confirmed report from Ramanaidu Studios about the possible release date of the movie. This will surely give a breather to other films that are worried about locking horns with Oh My God remake.

Two big heroes and one powerful combination. What will be the better date for such a flick if not a biggest holiday season where almost all Telugu people are home? Unlike rumors that Gopala Gopala will be hitting screens in 2014 itself, makers have confirmed to a leading media house that Pawan-Venky treat will be targeted at Sankranthi 2015, probably on January 15th. Already scenes involving Pawan Kalyan as Lord Krishna are almost wrapped up barring a couple.

Director Kishore (Dolly) is shooting at jet speed to finish rest of the movie too. Shooting is going on at the moment and the cast includes Venky, Shriya, Madhu Shalini, Saikumar and others. Excited fans should wait till Jan 2015 anyway to feel the punch of Gopala Gopala.

You might have observed it already on the web that many international celebrities are busy pouring a bucket of chilling cold water directly over their body and through their head. These videos, hash tagged with line ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ are viral everywhere. Even South Indian heroine, damsel Hansika Motwani too got into action.

ASL Foundation, a foundation that is aimed to help people suffering with a serious nerves related disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as ‘Lou Gehrig’s Disease’. They have created this ‘#IceBucketChallenge’, where you have to make a video of your participation in the challenge by attempting to douse in chilled water and upload it on social sites. This is purely to raise awareness about ALS and collect funds to help people suffering with the disease. Indian celebrity Hansika too joined the long list of worldwide celebs who took the challenge and uploaded it on facebook/twitter. So, are you ready for the freezing challenge?

Its a rarity in T-town, since stars established own productions to revive and sustain their careers, but flop actor Kalyan Ram has different plans and is spending lavishly on Ravi Teja’s Kick 2′, to revive the sagging fortunes of his banner NTR Arts, which lost more than 15 crores in 3D film “Om” and with director Surendar Reddy being his friend, he has relied on rival star Ravi Teja, to recreate the magic of Kick.

Interestingly, except for “Athanokkade”, nothing has worked in favour of kalyan ram and even his production house produced more duds like “Asaadyudu” and ”Vijayadasami” than hits.

But disaster like “Om” forced the actor-producer, to look for a saviour to regain the glory of the banner, which was named after legendary Telugu icon who had most hits, will Mass Maharaja pull it off?

After acting like a body double for Udaya Bhanu in the call-girl story Madhumathi, this slender lady got some recognition. Known as Junior Udaya Bhanu for her looks that resemble senior anchor, young Hyderabadi model Deeksha Panth is going guns.

Recently it is Telugu girl Madhu Shalini who stunned her critics by signing a role in Pawan-Venky’s Gopala Gopala. She will be seen as a video journalist in the movie, playing active part all over. And the latest addition is Deeksha Panth, who will be playing the character played by Poonam Jawar in the original. Though Poonam looks much elder in that role, after a series of auditions Telugu makers have thought that an younger Deeksha Panth fits the bill aptly.

Directed by Dolly, this Oh My God remake is being stuffed with a huge casting apart from Pawan Kalyan and Venkatesh. Already Shriya, Saikumar and Madhu Shalini have joined the board, and some other bigwigs are likely to join soon.

Barring a few movies, Young Tiger NTR hasn’t done any full pledged family-oriented entertainer till date. At a time when he is planning one such, a flop is hitting him hard on the head. Then he is compelled to take up a masala script to cope up with debacle. But finally, Tarak has made his mind to star in a family-flick, regardless of results of movies in hand.

Talented film maker Srikanth Addala is known for his family-based subjects that revolve around relations, sentiments, unconditional love and native Godavari districts. After making Kotha Bangaru Lokam and Seethamma Vaakitlo, he is now busy carving Mukunda for debutant hero Varun Tej. Highly placed sources confirmed that director Srikanth has met NTR the other day to narrate a subject.

Liking the concept to the core, Junior has given immediate nod for the project and is ready to kick start once he wraps up Puri Jagan’s film. This tips off that the mass-action hero will be soon seen in a class-family-entertainer. Probably after Ram Charan changed his mind to pick family-oriented subjects before signing ‘Govindudu Andarivadele’, even NTR has joined same queue.

Harnessing their thoughts, Mega fans are eagerly waiting for the ‘mega’ announcement bound from Megastar Chiranjeevi in next couple of days before publicizing speculations. But the ambiguity over the matinee-idol’s startling disclosure about his gigantic 150th flick still continues. Seems like, Chiru is going to leave fans on a bitter note in the coming few days.

Mega Star is expected to announce his much hyped 150th flick’s details on the eve of his birthday that is falling on August 22. Heap of rumors indicated that V V Vinayak is helming this prestigious project. But there is no clarity over these revelations, as another speculation is in rife that Chiru wants Krishna Vamsi to come aboard for the movie that marks the lion’s return to film jungle. Exhibiting innocence, close sources in Mega camp stated that Chiru will not be making any announcement about the film on 22nd. That’s something tough to digest for mega fans.

Curtailing these discussions, some sources however stated that Ram Charan has made big plans for his dad’s birthday and for the big announcement. ‘Cherry postponed Govindudu Andarivadele London schedule to 25th only to facilitate Megastar’s birthday event, and in a bid to share the sweet news with fans’, the source said. Fingers crossed.

Pawan Kalyan, who never minces his words/acts, is at again. It is reliably learnt that actor-politician has outrightly “rejected” to be part of the Intensive Household Survey conducted by the government of Telangana on Tuesday. When enumerators for the Survey approached the star’s house, he was said to be in “no mood to be part of the survey and divulge his family, private details.” Survey authorities have no other option but to go back and they said they would gather details from the actor other time. “We will try again to get details from him (Pawan Kalyan) as he is not willing to share them now,” said an enumerator on condition of anonymity.

It may be noticed that Pawan Kalyan has been expressive over his idea of “unity” and “nationality” time and again; and he stated it on several public platforms till date. Maintaining that he respects Telangana sentiment, Pawan is the one who took on KCR, Kavitha and TRS for their alleged “provoking tendency”, “extreme separatist views” and “political advantageous nature”.

With turning down the much-talked about and much-publicized Intensive Household Survey, no doubt Pawan showcased his courage again. But, has Pawan Kalyan snubbed KCR? Especially after KCR’s audio was leaked by Telangana TDP leader Revanth Reddy, the suspensions over the intention of Survey have soared high. Is Pawan’s reaction is linked to that? Several questions are floating in air at the moment. And many believe that Pawan has a ‘strong reason’ to stay away from the survey.

After pairing up with Allu Sirish in Kotha Jantha, Regina Cassandra has set her eyes to romance Allu Arjun, elder brother of Sirish. If reports are to be believed, Regina will team up with Allu Arjun in his forthcoming film to be directed by Trivikram Srinivas. Though the film has Samantha in the female lead, as per the script, it needs two other heroines.

Allu Arjan and Trivikram are contemplating to rope in Regina for one of the roles. We hear that along with a brief appearance, Regina managed to grab a song with Allu Arjun in the film. Given that Bunny is a super dancer, who doesn’t want to shake legs with him? Also Regina proved her acting mettle with her recent films. She is awaiting for the release of Ravi Teja-starrer Power. Looks like, Regina has hit the jackpot to act under Trivikram’s direction.

We don’t know, whats going on in the minds of few T-town stars. Despite a series of big flops and unsure of release of “Jenda Pai Kapiraju”, gen x actor Nani has reportedly demanded Rs. 2.5 crore remuneration, reveals a industry source who was shocked with”Paisa” star’s revised hike.

Although, he is talented actor and proved his mettle in films like ‘Eega’, ‘Ala Modalayindi’  and ‘Pilla Zamindar” but his market hasn’t expanded, so his new rate card, wasn’t keeping up with declining branding. The biggest flop “Aha Kalyanam” (remake of Band Baaza…) further dented his star value so, he should have been more ‘accommodate’ to take up a film, rather he is quoting big sum, to boost and survive his stardom.

Now, he needs to have a good film on hand and should not give up an offer, just for the sake of money. He is doing it to keep small-time producers and directors or is he believing that he deserves such a good price, it is difficult to believe?
