Tollywood hunk Prabhas, who was quite busy with preparations for “Baahubali” is heard to have got the permission from Rajamouli to work on another project in parallel. According to reliable sources Rajamouli has willfully accepted the demand of Young Rebel Star Fans and waved the green flag to his ‘Okka Adugu’ movie.

It’s a known fact that Baahubali without a doubt will take nothing less than two years to wrap up its shoot. And according to rumors of second part to Baahubali , Prabhas dates will be blocked for three years, which will affect his market globally. In order to stay in lime light there should be at least one release for a star hero like Prabhas and knowing all game rules of Tollywood, Rajamouli has advised our darling to work on other projects too.

Prabhas shall get the much needed time in between schedules of ‘Baahubali’ and Krishnam Raju’s ‘Okka Adugu’ should have one step forward to get into pre-production works. Anyways, this is early anticipations. So, let us wait for the official announcement from the makers.

No doubt, Vijay is a big star in Tamilnadu and stands only next to Rajinikanth in fan following. However, he is yet to make a mark of his own and star status in Andhra Pradesh. Both of his past two releases ‘Snehitudu’ (3 Idiots remake) and ‘Thupakki’ haven’t been successful in Tollywood. While the Telugu audience rejected Shankar’s Hindi-copy flick straight away, Murugadoss directed ‘Thupakki’ is a decent grosser but the producer incurred huge losses for acquiring the AP theatrical rights of the film for whopping Rs 15 crore (multiple times higher than Vijay’s market in AP).

Vijay’s next entertainer ‘Thalaivaa’ is gearing up for release on August 9th. The makers have planned a simultaneous Telugu release and titled is as ‘Anna – Born To Lead’. This dubbed flick will be releasing in 250-plus screens in AP and producers have been planing to rake in Rs 150 crore at Box Office with Thalaivaa and Anna.

Usually, Dubbing heroes wouldn’t dare to cross swords with Superstars of another language. Vijay, however, is not bothered about the presence of ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ in theatres from August 7th.

Trade Pundits say, Vijay can’t withstand the wave of Pawan Kalyan in AP and the territories where the Telugu domination is high. ‘Anna’ will just remain as another dubbed flick of the Tamil star but it won’t be a threat to ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ in any way. 

The sudden change in the release date of ‘Yevadu’ to avoid clashes between Mega fans is proving lucky for hero Nithin who was instrumental in making his father & distributor Sudhakar Reddy acquire the theatrical rights of ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ for Nizam territory at a record price.

At one stage, Trade pundits predicted that Nizam distributor of ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ will have a tough time in getting good number of screens for the film as Dil Raju is very strong in this region and won’t be allowing anyone to take the lead. Even the release of ‘Yevadu’ was planned in record number of screens here. However, the postponement of the film to August 21st has changed the entire scenario. All of these theatres have now fell vacant and this situation is going to benefit the people associated with ‘Atharintiki Daredi’ in a big way.

In Nizam territory alone, ‘Yevadu’ was supposed to release in 320 screens and all of them have been now routed to ‘Atharintiki Daredi’. The fantastic pre-release hype and mind-blowing screen count will ensure record openings for the family entertainer. Interestingly, ‘AD’ will have no opposition what-so-ever from any other big films for the first two weeks and the Ramzan-Independence Day week is an additional advantage. This is an ideal situation for the release of a big film and no doubt Nithin is having the last laugh.

The reports of Vamsi Paidipally meeting Pawan Kalyan has triggered the rumors that they are soon going to team up for a Mega project for Dil Raju’s production.

Apparently, Dil Raju is making rounds to Pawan’s house since few years for making a film with him and even Vamsi is a die-hard fan of the actor since the days of Kushi. This director-producer duo recently approached Pawan with a script and now waiting for the final call from him. When contacted, Vasmi too confirmed that nothing got finalised as of now.

Vamsi Paidipally was supposed to work with Mahesh Babu after wrapping up ‘Yevadu’. However, this project has taken a backseat as Superstar has committed to work with Srinu Vytla, Puri Jagannath and Korathala Siva for his next three projects.

As there is still two years time left to direct Mahesh, Vamsi is planning another venture in the meantime and picked up Pawan for his fourth film. Other than ‘Gabbar Singh 2’, Pawan hasn’t accepted any projects and his film ‘Ko Bali’ with Trivikram mayn’t happen anytime soon as the director has to complete his prior commitments with NTR & Charan. So, Vamsi might get a chance to direct Powerstar if everything works well.

Finally closing the curtains down on the largely heard rumours, sources close to Superstar Mahesh have confirmed that there is no way that he acts in Gunasekhar’s upcoming movie Rudramadevi. Even in a dream, Mahesh has never thought of taking a role in this historical flick.

‘More than four months back, Gunasekhar has approached Mahesh to play the role of Gona Gannareddy in the movie. But Mahesh has turned down the offer in split second’, says a source close to the hero. Though the director is pretty close to Mahesh, it is very tough to accept the offer as acting in such guest roles will affect his image a lot at the present scenario. The reason for Mahesh’s backing off from the role is the offered character of Gona Ganna Reddy who works as commander for Rani Rudramadevi’s army in a couple of wars. Reports have that actor Rana Daggubati has accepted the same role after Mahesh rejected it, and has shot for certain scenes as well.

A hero of Mahesh’s stature may not downplay his image to act as an assistant on-screen to a heroine like Anushka. Rather putting image at stake, it is better to back off, and our hero has done the same. Also our hero is keen to wrap up ‘One-Nenokkadine’ and move to Sreenu Vytla’s ‘Aagadu’, rather getting struck with these guest roles.

The practice of doling out gifts, money, liquor etc. in politics is now reportedly taking a full circle. If reports are to be believed then across the state after the second phase of Panchayat polls, candidates are literally chasing the life of voters demanding them to  give back whatever they given.

If a candidate in Andhra is asking voters to return back the silver items he had driven them, one candidate is reportedly fighting with the buying party to give back his land which he had sold to raise money for doling out money to voters.

This is also taking a violent turn with candidates physically attacking and in one or two instances even killing some of their trusted men and reliable voters who ditched them during voting. There are reports that in Ranga Reddy district, defeated candidates are disturbing pamphlets filled with verbal abuses for voters who have taken money but didn’t vote for them!

Nandamuri Balakrishna is a man of discipline and he always stick to his commitments given to everyone. We got to witness once again Balayya babu’s commitment for his movies with an incident.

We have already mentioned that Balakrishna’s second daughter Tejaswini’s marriage is on cards and a grand engagement is scheduled on 11th August. Wedding is going to take place on 21st August in Hyderabad being a bride’s father Balayya should be busy bee looking out at all arrangement taking break from his shooting by now.

But as surprise to many Balayya is attending his film shooting and when producer of movie asked him to take break from shoot for few weeks. Then Balayya with a smile said only two days are enough to deal with engagement and three for marriage so it’s ok to attend my film shoot. That is the kind of work commitment Balayya shows for all his films and unit members have given hats off to him.

The Pawan Kalyan mania and the theme of Pawanism picked up a lot in Tollywood these days. Surprisingly it is not just about Pawan Kalyan and his films, even other heroes are taking the name of Pawanism and are making good business for their films. The best example for that is Nithiin. And here is another update.

It is heard that the concept of Pawanism is now being used in Bollywood also. There, the place of Pawan Kalyan is being taken by Salman Khan. Salman is a mass hero and has a huge following. So, some films are now using the Salman brand for getting good response at the box office.

The new Hindi film ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ has Shahid Kapoor as the hero and it is heard that he is shown as a big fan of Salman Khan. The film also has Ileana as the heroine. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, we have to see whether the concept of Salmanism will match Pawanism or not.

Looks like mega fans are going to face the Telangana heat not only for Ram Charan’s Yevadu film but also for Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi too according to latest reports. As per insiders there are bright chances for a formal announcement regarding Telangana state 2nd August and this will not go well with anti-T seekers which without generates brutal situation in state.

Attarintiki Daredi makers are waiting in silent mode and will decide on new release date according to the situations in state post an announcement comes from Central. If Congress announces in support of formation of Telangana, there would be uncertain situations in Seemandhra and if the declaration comes opposite to Telangana, agitations are to begin in Nizam region. In this condition, any proclamation will badly affect star heroes films.

Pawan Kalyan is a producer friendly hero and complete authority regarding release date announcement of Attahritniki Daredi lies with BVSN Prasad. No one will risk in releasing their film in these vague situations. So, there is a definite change in Attarintiki Daredi release date if Congress announces a decision on 2nd August.

Finally after a lot of brainstorming and discussions it has been decided that ‘Yevadu’ has been postponed to August 21st. The reasons could be anything but then it is heard that producer Dil Raju has done something which might put the promotion of the film in danger. All this happened at the Daspalla hotel.

It is heard that Dil Raju had organized a press meet at 6 pm for the media to make the official announcement but he reportedly came in at 8.30 pm. When asked about it, the producer reportedly commented that anyhow the media folks will come for the party and it doesn’t matter when he comes and advised to enjoy the party.

The senior media people were reportedly very offended with that comment and they didn’t even touch a glass of water. It is also heard that as soon as the main people spoke, all the media members left. Many are saying that this could mean the film will have a tremendous impact in terms of its promotion and publicity. Let us see if Dil Raju takes this seriously or not.

The veteran actor Sarath babu has been a wonderful husband, friend and father on-screen but in real life he seems to be having a roller-coaster ride in relationships. One could hardly imagine that the actor in real has problems in his marriage and that too twice! Sarath Babu is giving himself another chance and is all set to tie the knot for the third time.

The 61-old year actor has confirmed this news and in fact stated, “I feel like I am just 35-years-old both physically and mentally. The name of the person I will be marrying will be of 5 letters and she comes from a journalist background.”

Sarath Babu has acted in over 200 movies covering all South Indian languages and that is indeed a successful career spanning 37 years. We hope and wish the actor is similarly successful in his personal life too, all the best Mr. Sarath!

Whenever Mahesh Babu’s film is being worked out a lot of attention is put on the choice for heroine. With Mahesh’s style and charming personality someone very good looking and sexy can only suit him. Recently there was a strong talk that finally Mahesh found his perfect heroine.

She is none other than Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone. Many were stating that Deepika was approached for Mahesh’s next film ‘Aagadu’ and the deal was going through. But now it looks like nothing of that sort is happening. Latest updates say two heroines are required for the film and the first female lead could either be Tamannah or Shruti Haasan.

There are also reports that the second female lead is also getting confirmed and it could be Aishwarya Arjun, daughter of senior actor and action king Arjun.  Whether Deepika said no to this film or if she is having some dates issues no one knows but it will be disappointing not to see her pairing up with Mahesh as she would be the dream heroine for the prince.

Lover Boy Nitin is on signing spree these days. The actor who is riding high post back to back hits Ishq and GJG is presently acting in Prem Sai’s debut directorial ‘Courier Boy Kalyan’. Post wrapping up this project, Nitin will simultaneously work for Puri Jagannath’s ‘Heart Attack’ and Karunakaran’s romantic entertainer.

Now, latest news is the young hero has signed yet another project. Dil Raju who said to make a film with Nitin at GJG audio kept his word and signed a new project with the actor. As per reports, this film is going to be a pure family entertainer like Dil Raju’s earlier projects like SVSC, Bommarillu, etc. Titled ‘Kalasi Vunte Kaladu Sukham’, the film will go on floors later this year.

More details including director are awaited. This is the second time Nitin and Dil Raju are teaming after a long time after ‘Dil’, with this film only film distributor Raju turned as Dil Raju and producing successful making his own name & fame in industry.

Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh are star heroes of Tollywood and before entering politics, Chiranjeevi was the ruler of Tollywood for almost two decades. Venkatesh is still continuing his career doing family oriented entertaining roles. But it is heard that both these heroes owe their star break to another person.

He is none other than superstar Krishna. It is heard that when Krishna was the number 1 in Tollywood during the early 80s, he got the offer for ‘Khaidi’ but he didn’t take it up and the film went to Chiranjeevi. ‘Khaidi’ made Chiranjeevi a superstar and is considered one of his best blockbusters till date.

Similarly, it is heard that Krishna was approached for the other film ‘Kaliyuga Pandavulu’ but again he had declined the film on different grounds. That film went to Venkatesh and it became a big hit giving instant fame and success to Venky making him a star. That way, superstar Krishna has lifted both Chiru and Venky indirectly.

With almost four big films of her releasing in the coming days in Tollywood, it is now being heard that the star heroine is soon going to disappear from the circuit. This is bitter news for sure, but here goes the story.

Sensuous beauty Samantha is known for her golden leg in Telugu film industry though she scored some flops in the recent days. With Attarintiki Daredi ready for release, Ramayya Vastavayya on the way, Manam getting ready at brisk pace, the sexy siren is having big line up of big movies. Also she has signed ‘Rabasa’ with Jr NTR again. All these films have packed Samantha’s diary for 2013 and that is why she is not accepting any flicks for now. In a candid interview, she revealed that there is not questioning of signing Telugu flicks in 2014. ‘From next year, I’ll be focussing a lot on Tamil industry and will sign Tamil movies in a row’, said Samantha. One would wonder why she is distancing from Telugu movies and picking Tamil projects.

Analysts feel that Samantha actually wants to make it big down South but her popularity is limited only to Telugu circuit at the moment. Maybe that is the reason she is putting brakes on Telugu movies for a while. But once if she loses place here, it is tough to get it back.

With producer Dil Raju openly stating that Abbayi Ram Charan and Babayi Pawan Kalyan hold discussions and came to a joint conclusion that release of Yevadu should be deferred, now, the whole buzz in film circles is what did Pawan Kalyan say to Ram Charan? And how long did Pawan spoke to Charan?

According to sources, Charan and Pawan spoke at length about life beyond films as both already knew before that Yevadu is going to postpone as Chiru hinted.

Charan was apparently curious about Attarintiki Daaredi and how it was shaped. Guess what’s Pawan’s reply. He just smiled and said it has come out well. Charan also conveyed Chiru’s best wishes for AD. Pawan thanked Abbayi Ram Charan and Annayya Chiru for lending their support and postponing their film to avoid a box office clash.
