A glittering start for this dusky-beauty was tumbled like nothing with the film faring mud at Box Office. This is Karthika, who made her debut with NagaChaitanya’s JOSH and still finding no proper work in Tollywood.

The darling daughter of a hot and top yesteryear heroine Radha, is still struggling with Tollywood to get into limelight. What worries her more is that ‘side-kick’ tag. Coming to the point, the success of her Tamil dubbed flick RANGAM, fetched her a role in Jr.NTR’s movie. She is acting as a second heroine in Boyapati Seenu’s DAMMU alongside petite hottie Trisha.

People are saying that there is no doubt Trisha will dominate the scenario like what Nayan had done in Boyapati’s blockbuster SIMHA. With all these doubts springing, Karthika is worried that she may not get good roles of a lead girl as the ‘side-kick’ tag surely crushes opportunities. This is something you should think before signing the project baby!

Stylish Star Allu Arjun is going to join the club of 30 crores through his latest movie in the direction of Trivikram, as far as the pre release businesses are concerned. His latest offering’s theatrical rights for entire A.P. was bought by Dasari Narayana Rao’s Siri Media for a whopping amount Rs.23 crores. If the rights of Karnataka, Kerala, other states and Overseas are added, his movie can easily cross the pre release mark of 30 crores.

Earlier, Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Komaram Puli’, ‘Teenmaar’ and ‘Panjaa’ movies crossed the mark of 30 crores pre release business. Prince Mahesh Babu’s ‘Khaleja’, ‘Dookudu’ and ‘Businessman’, Young Tiger Jr.NTR’s ‘Shakthi’ and ‘Oosaravelli’, Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s ‘Magadheera’ and ‘Orange’ movies crossed the business of Rs.30 crores. And now, Allu Arjun has achieved the rare feat of joining the above list after Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Jr.NTR and Ram Charan.

Prince Mahesh Babu’s ‘Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ movie’s first schedule has been completed and its second schedule will start from 16th of this month. Mahesh will join the film’s shoot for the first time from 16th onwards.

As per the inside sources, one song has already been shot on the heroine Samantha and the lyrics of this song go on like this; “AARADUGULA ANDAGAADU..VACHCHENAA NAATHO…EDADUGULU NADICHENAA”. This song is said to be an inspiration of ‘Greeku Veerudu’ song of Ninne Pelladutha movie, in which, heroine Tabu sings that song and Nagarjuna appears in stylish looks on the other side. Here also we can expect Mahesh will be seen in stylish get ups in SVSC’s song. We can also see similar kind of song in ‘Dil Wale Dulhaniya Lejayenge’ where Kajol sings a song and Shahrukh Khan appear in stylish get ups.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan earlier, has given his nod to act in the direction of Veeru Potla, who came to limelight through his successful movies like, ‘Bindaas’ and ‘Ragada’. However, all of a sudden Pawan Kalyan has been replaced by hero Ram. As per the official news, Pawan Kalyan said ‘no’ to the director as he didn’t like the story line.

Is it really true or any story behind it? As per our sources it has been known that Pawan Kalyan has deliberately rejected to do this project. If we reveal the name of producer of this movie, you can definitely catch the complete story and the producer is none other than ‘Anil Sunkara’, who produced the super hit of the year, ‘Dookudu’ last year. Till the release of ‘Dookudu’, Pawan Kalyan had good impression on the producer and gave his acceptance to do the project in Anil Sunkara’s own production house, ‘AK Entertainments in the direction of Veeru Potla. However, recent tiffs between the producer and Mega family changed the entire scenario and now the producer is turned out to be a rival for Mega family. This is the story behind Pawan Kayan’s rejecting the project folks.

There is no love lost between Dasari Narayana Rao and megastar Chiranjeevi. Their hatred for one another is too well known to bear repetition here. It is an open secret that it was Allu Aravind who did not allow Dasari to hold sway on Chiranjeevi and use him for political gains.

Times are changing. Now Dasari seems to be ready to forget and forgive. The first step in this direction is his decision to acquire the theatrical rights of Allu Arjun and Trivikram Srinivas new film for the entire Andhra Pradesh. Dasari is reported to have paid a whopping 20 crore for this. This is the highest sum for a Bunny film so far.

Many a times on various instances, director Harish Shankar showered his respect and admiration for Puri Jagannath. In fact, Harish feels himself as a ‘Shishya’ to his ‘Guru’ Puri. Now, this would be an interetsing and friendly fight of sorts between these two as both are dealing Powerful Star Pawan Kalyan without any gap. Yes, when Harish is directing Pawan for ‘Gabbar Singh,’ very immediately Puri will show our hero as ‘Ram Babu’ in ‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Ram Babu.’ So, who will showcase Pawan in best of the style will be the quesition of hour.

In either ways, Pawan is lucky as he needs a strong hit from both the flicks. If Harish delivers it first with ‘Gabbar Singh’ then Puri will obviously be on edge. Wish that this ‘Guru Shishyulu’ gives new lease to BO in 2012 in the name of Power Star.

Filmmaker Akash Pandey on Thursday filed a complaint against actress and mafia don Abu Salem’s ex-girlfriend Monika Bedi accusing her of harassing him by sending threatening SMSes for the last one month.

In 2011, Akash Pandey directed a film titled ‘Parichay’ featuring Nepali superstar Nikhil Upreti and Monika Bedi. The film was released in Nepal last month turned out to be a hit. As per the contract, Monika Bedi was paid a remuneration of Rs 5 lakh long back and the makers had promised to give an additional Rs 5 lakh to her, if the film releases in India.

Though the film has not yet been released in India, Monika Bedi is now demanding for the additional Rs 5 lakh. As per the contract, she is eligible for that money only after the film hits the screens here. The director tried to convince her, but it didn’t work. Monika started sending SMSes like “You guys have to pay now, otherwise I will see You.”

The makers were terrified with the developments, knowing the fact that Monika has links with the underworld in the past.

When contacted, Monika Bedi denied sending threatening SMSes to the filmmaker and also said that she is not aware of any complaint registered against her.

Sai Dharam Tej created ruffles in the industry with his debut announcement. Nephew of MegaStar Chiru, SDT’s plans took a turn with YVS Chowdary’s ‘intelligent’ plans.

Sai Dharam Tej is currently acting in YVS Chowdary’s directorial REY and the film’s work came to stand still at the moment. Though sources from YVS Camp are saying that the pause is momentary and the work will revive soon, many critics doubt this.

In fact, YVS has invested a lot on NIPPU and pushed his own directorial REY aside. For REY, still there is a single-schedule shoot to be done in Hyderabad and parts of missing portions are to be finished in USA. This needs huge budget and only if NIPPU overflows with profits that can be done. Much hyped future of Sai Dharam Tej is directly linked to REY directly and indirectly to NIPPU. If something goes wrong with NIPPU, then there is no point called ‘future’, predicted a cine-lover.
