However, Anil Sunkara clarifies he is very much part of ‘1’ and there is no truth what-so-ever in the speculations of his exit from 14 Reels. He also expressed confidence that ‘1’ is going to be a sensational film and profitable venture for everyone associated with it. “I am proud to be with ‘1’,” confirms the producer.

Its an undeniable fact that the budget of ‘1’ has gone beyond the early estimates to become the costliest project in the career of Mahesh Babu. Neverthless, makers are confident about seeing profits with the help of Mahesh’s Box Office stamina and Sukumar’s high quality product. The recent hike in the ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh too came as a blessing in disguise for the 14 Reels Entertainment. Hope for the best!

All these talks are quite exciting but when are we going to see that festival? For now, Ram Charan’s Thoofan is all set to hit theatres on September 6th and NTR’s Ramayya Vastavayya on September 27th. Also, another mega flick ‘Yevadu’ is confirmed on October 10th. But lot of new stories and plans are being heard that both these movies are not going to make it on said dates. In between, there is Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi that is battling for a good date to enthral fans. Trade pundits are however asking, if these flicks are really going to release at anytime soon. Because, though theatres are available for now, ongoing Seemandhra agitation is big hurdle for the release.

Some say that Seemandhra JAC has already cleared that they are not going to stop Mega films or any other hero’s films like their counterparts. But still with APSRTC employees on strike, hire-taxis, autorickshaws too joining the chorus, how will people in remote and rural areas make it to theatres is the question.

Can these three big undisputed stars of the new generation release their movies on said dates with some calculated risk? Can they risk collections from Seemandhra region to honour the commitment of releasing a movie on a decided date? Amidst this turmoil, these big heroes may hold their releases even till November or December, say insiders. So get ready for shock, if any.

Apparently, Kris Gethin who is from Los Angels has been training some of the high-profile clients in Mumbai after successfully wrapping up his assignments with Mahesh Babu for ‘1 – Nenokkadine’ and Hrithik Roshan for ‘Krrish 3’. He got the shock of his life recently, when he received a call informing him that has been prohibited from entering the gym from now and the reason for this action is the fear of the management that he would take away their regular clients. “I don’t need to and I am not stealing any clients from anybody,” reacts Kris.

On the other hand, Gold Gym management clarified Kris Gethin was given only complimentary access to the gym as he used to accompany body builder Sheru Angaarish who works for the franchise. They say, the access was denied to Kris now as he isn’t in good terms with Sheru anymore.

Though Jr NTR is maintaining complete silence over these happenings from a long time, it looks like Hari Krishna has once again pulled him into the mess by his political moves. So, we have to see how Nandamuri heroes are going to address and resolve the issue.

Reacting on the same, TDP MLC Babu Rajendraprasad disposed it off as Hari Krishna’s personal decision and refused to comment on it until party decides what to do with the legendary NTR’s son. Hari Krishna however says, ‘NTR stood for united Andhra Pradesh, but Congress killed that Telugu spirit’, for which he is unable to continue in the post suppressing his conscience.

On the flip side, other TDP Seemandhra MPs who are advocating ‘Save Andhrapradesh’ from the day since monsoon sessions of Parliament started, are also considering the option of tendering resignations to MP posts.

For most of the time, Manoj was seen standing near the mandap beside Balakrishna and clearing the way for the guests who wish to bless the newly-married couple. He behaved more like a family member and helped the Nandamuris in every way he could when the situation appeared a little tense with huge rush.

Some say, Manoj was indebted to Balayya for playing a significant role in his ambitious project ‘Oo Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’ even though he had never played such character-driven roles in past. He wishes to pay it back to the Nata Simha in some way or the other and the Bodyguard act at the wedding should been seen in that way. Anything and everything that was done with good intent should be welcomed and Manchu Boy has only done a right thing.

This is the opinion being given about Parvathi Melton. When she came with Pawan Kalyan in ‘Jalsa’ many expected Parvathi to rise to great heights. At one point, she was also considered as the heroine for Mahesh Babu’s ‘Khaleja’ but suddenly things came crashing and Parvathi was totally off the focus.

Now, it is heard that Parvathi has returned to a foreign country and is working on a monthly salary job. But there is also another talk. Some are saying Parvathi is in a steady relationship with a Mumbai based builder and she will marry him soon. Whether that is right or not, one truth is, her career has become a tragedy at Tollywood.

It is heard that when Samantha agreed to pair up with Bellamkonda’s son for his debut film to be directed by V V Vinayak, Suresh went ahead and gave a blank cheque to her for remuneration. But later on, Samantha backed off so it didn’t work out. But the gesture of Bellamkonda shocked many heroines.

Now sources say Bellamkonda got really impressed with the new actress Shanvi Srivastava. She was seen in the film ‘Adda’ and is getting good marks for her glamour and sexy looks. Reports say Bellamkonda went ahead and paid her a lumpsum advance but he has not confirmed her for any film. So, Shanvi literally has the money in hand for a film without a film, that is Bellamkonda style.

 

As per the sources, Balakrishna has invited NTR for the wedding ceremony of his younger daughter Tejaswini with Gitam Univerty’s grandson Muthukupalli Sribharat at Hitex on August 21st.

 

There were rumors that Balayya has no plans of inviting NTR for the wedding because of unpleasant developments that took place few months ago regarding the flexis and Mahanadu issues. Upon the intervention of his brother-in-law and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, Nata Simha has invited the family of NTR at 3 PM for the ceremony, they say.

Recently, Samantha has announced that the first item to go for the auction will be Gabbar Singh uniform of Pawan Kalyan. Today, she revealed about the second item and this time her target in Mahesh Babu. She is going to auction the pink jacket and the floral shirt worn by the Superstar in ‘Dookudu’. A website would be launched soon for the bidding of these exclusive items along with details one has to go through before getting ready to purchase. Competition for acquiring these costumes would be high as all of them were from blockbuster flicks.

Seems like, Samantha is following a particular order while placing the auction and the range of the star seems to be given top priority. After Pawan and Mahesh, Obviously the choice would be Jr NTR. Don’t be surprised if this turns into a war between the fans of top stars in the Industry.

Apparently, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi has been following Tollywood’s Irendri on Twitter from Today and the actress sees it as a Raksha Bandhan gift from her big brother. ‘What an honour! A real Raksha Bandhan gift…Narendra Modi ji follows me on Twitter. Yipeeee! Feeling loved cared and respected. Jai Ho!,’ she responded.

It may be mentioned that Lakshmi Manchu was the one who put extra effort to introduce Tollywood personalities to Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Hyderabad as part of his youth meeting in LB Stadium. The Manchu Family appeared being in good sink with the ‘Best CM Of The Country’ and they even posed for the cameras as if they belong to one family. Mystery behind Manchu-Namo bonding is yet to be chased!

Hot married lady Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is right now worried with the same thought of losing all that craze. All these days, her PR agency made sure that she is pursued by one and all, and promoted Aish’s every tour and single snap as a priceless gift. But all those acts are losing hope with Aish not returning to any screen or reality shows. The reason is simple. Actually the once splendid beauty has turned fatter post delivery of Aaradhya, and the beautiful lady never returned to her old shape. Even after couple of years, she is not getting into required shape, a slim and sexy woman. Though it takes words to hail her as stunner, it takes more than that to rope her back on silver screen, as she is fatter than expected.

Reportedly Aish is trying everything from power yoga to cardio exercises to hardcore gym to get back in shape. Only if her slim dreams turn reality, then she gets back into the circuit. Otherwise there is no deal that she will rule as heroine any more.

Producer MS Raju has taken himself to direction to launch his son Sumanth Ashwin sometime back. Though Raju expected his son to be the new age Uday Kiran, his son has fallen short of needed luck and talent. Sumanth is trying his luck now with Anthaku Mundu Aa Taruvata, directed by award winning filmmaker Indraganti Mohankrishna.

What grabs our attention for this movie is its ‘adult’ nature that is rocking TVs in the name of teasers. A couple want to explore everything before marriage by staying together, such that they can find out if they could stay together or not. The very thought and that ‘everything’ sounds like a Maruthi kind of idea, and MS Raju is expecting his son to score a blockbuster with it.

Already the double meaning laced teasers have won first day audience for the flick, but we have to see what is exactly shown inside the movie. The flick will be hitting screens on August 23rd.

Release date of ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ is not yet finalized, but producer BVSN Prasad has already sold out the whole flick for table profits. Also we know that satellite rights of the flick are also given away for an whopping price to Maa Tv. Then who is fighting for the rights of AD? These days, it should be a Telugu film and that’s it, heroes and producers from other film circuits are running for it. Sources revealed that producers from Tamil and Kannada industries are running after Prasad to finalize the deal for remake rights of AD. Also they want to buy dubbing rights too, and in this zone, competition from Hindi and Bengali producers is stiff.

Some producers are said to be using their influential political contacts through Megastar Chiranjeevi to buy Attarintiki Daredi dubbing and remake rights. If the film turns a blockbuster, they will remake the flick, and if it remains average movie then they will dub it. Let us see who will win the fight of bagging AD rights.

‘Ramayya Vastavayya’, the bindaas family entertainer with a political touch is actually expected to hit screens on September 27th. Producer Dil Raju and director Harish Shankar have confirmed this for umpteen times. But the latest we hear is that RV will be pushed to Diwali season rather releasing it ahead of Dasara festival. They say that the availability of theatres due to the unexpected reshuffle of Yevadu and Attarintiki Daredi became big issue for distributors.

Charan’s Yevadu got fixed for October 10th leaving no space for biggies around, while Pawan’s AD is contemplating the idea of hitting audience either in second or third weeks of September. They say that Jr NTR’s RV might release on Nov 1st, a couple of days ahead of the lights-sound festival.

Post production work of Ramayya Vastavayya is under full swing at the moment while the unit will fly to Spain to can a couple of songs on NTR, Samantha and Shruti Haassan from August 26th. Otherwise, RV is much ready for a release on September 27th. Let us see what happens.
