Collection King Mohan Babu is known for his adamant ways. Many times he lashed out at his own colleagues courting controversies and is always remembered for slapping his daughter and dragging her in full media gaze when she was about to get married to her lover. Even telangana agitation was at his peak, he invited the wrath of telangana people by organizing a press conference and lashing out at the protesters and even daring to confront them.
 

Now recently his son Vishnu who was starved of success, finally scored a decent hit with ‘Denikaina Ready’. However the film plunged into controversy with Brahmin Organisations protesting against some objectionable scenes in the film. Instead of trying to solve the problem amicably, Mohan Babu producer of the film, made fun of them saying they were not real Brahmins and they came only for alms like beggars.
 

As if this was not enough his son Vishnu attacked them when they were protesting in front of the house. Now yesterday Mohan Babu in his house organized a press meet with Brahmins coming from Tamil Nadu who sang praises about him. They said Mohan Babu never hurt anyone’s feelings and found fault with Brahmin organizations for doing ‘Pinda Pradanam’ to him. Many feel Collection King is only precipitating the matter rather than trying to solve the issue amicably.

Daggubati Rana’s Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ is reportedly set against the mining mafia and its atrocities in Bellary region. The movie is facing severe problem due to the censor problems. The film reportedly refers to YSR Congress Party. It is known to our readers that the late Chief Minister YS Rajashekar Reddy is facing allegations of several illegal allocations of mines. There are reportedly several dialogues and scenes in the movie which had indirect references to YSR, Jagan and YSR Congress.

The buzz is that the cuts on this film have been so severe that almost 18 minutes of the film has been chomped off. So, Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum is the first film to suffer after Censor board tightened its screws following the controversies of Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu and Denikaina Ready

Puri Jagannadh is one director who completes his movie shooting in very less number of working days but he is finding it touch to select a girl beside Allu Arjun for his upcoming movie, Iddarammayilatho. Few days ago, Richa Gangopadhyay walked out of the project and the makers have roped in Tapsee for the role. However, Tapsee had also turned down the offer stating it is too small role for her. The makers have now roped in Katherine Theresa to play the second female lead. She is currently playing the love interest of  Nani in Paisa.

Amala Paul is the main heroine. Puri Jagannadh is the director. The film is being produced by Bandla Ganesh under Parameswara Arts banner. Devi Sri Prasad who delivered many hits with Bunny will be scoring music for this movie.

Ee Rojullo fame Maruthi had a good directorial debut. As he touched few youth weakness and added double meaning dialogues to it, the movie worked out commercially. Bus Stop is the new movie of Maruthi starring Neeku Naku dash dash couple Prince and Sri Divya in the lead roles. As his previous movie, Maruthi used the same formula in his second movie too. But Censor board has the other ideas. The film reportedly had many double meaning dialogues and the Censor team gave as many as 40 cuts to the movie. Two scenes of the movie were asked to chop down completely.

Bellamkonda Suresh has produced the film under the banner of Sri Sai Ganesh Productions banner and JB has composed the music.The makers have reportedly gone to the revising committee over these cuts.

Sri Rama Rajyam producer Yalamanchili Sai Baba’s son Revanth’s debut movie ‘Intinta Annamayya’ had a bad start.

Not many people know about the fact that Music Composer Manisharma is one of the most out-spoken person in the Industry. Here is the taste of that personality …

On the item number in his film Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum: “Even though it’s an item song, there is still melody in it and no scope for noise.”

On ‘lifetime of film songs coming down drastically’: “That’s true. We can’t find the soul in the music and many of the songs are lifeless. Few producers were of the opinion that if the songs could be in the market for two weeks, it’s more than enough.”

When asked his if any of the Dance Masters has demanded him to compose the tunes based on their steps, Mani shot back,”I work with Directors, not Dance Masters. Who are they to say how the songs should be! The steps should be composed based on the song, not vice versa. On this issue, I had fight with dance masters in the past. That’s why they don’t approach me.”

Industry folks have been saying that Manisharma indirectly targeted Lawrence who demanded him to change the tune to match his steps for Chirutha’s Ossosi Rakasi song.

Actresses picking up bold roles to garner the attention of film lovers when their career hits an all time low isn’t a new trend. Buxom babe Charmee who isn’t in her best form off late too choose the same path.

Charmee, however, condemns the reports in circulation that she will be seen as a sex worker in one of her upcoming films and clarifies it’s the role of a call girl. “I am playing a call girl, not a sex worker. I’m not interested in portraying the stereotypical prostitute who enters into this business to look after her family, So I had turned down several such offers in the past. I took up this role as it’s different from what others had done upto now and that’s what attracted me,” she clarifies, saying call girl is self-employed and sex worker is an employee.

The actress will be seen in the role of Mallika who is independent and unapologetic of what she has been doing. Bold films like Chandini Bar and Chameli has given a lot of recognition for actress Tabu and Kareena. Let’s see if Charmee too enters the same league!

Even though he worked hard for years, Telugu Film Industry has not given him a single hit to his credit. At least a commercially feasible movie would have made him happy, but that became a distant dream for him. That is why he started taking revenge!

As Tollywood has not given him offers for a long time, he is now doing all possible roles in one year as he got three offers in hand. Nandamuri Taraka Ratna is now the talk of town for the kind of roles he is accepting. On one hand he is acting as a ‘Drama Artist’ in ‘Mike Testing 143’ movie, while he is playing a funny Yamudu in ‘Nenu Chala Worst’ and a lover boy role in ‘Vijetha’ movie. Latest entry is this devotee role ‘Bhakta Siriyala’, which is getting filmed with the same name. No doubt, this must be a revenge of NTR as he is firing all flicks by almost same time on audiences.

Even though NTR had no hits and mettle proving, he seems quite lucky to get roles with such variations. Can he deliver at least single hit with any one of them?

Tamil star Ajith who is currently shooting for director Vishnuvardhan’s film got injured while performing dare-devil stunts during the shoot in Mumbai.
