The combo of producer Dil Raju and the southern stud Siddarth has resulted in some noted hits. However, it is now heard that lately both Sidz-Dil Raju are not in good terms. Apparently, Dil Raju usually focuses mostly on youthful subjects and once in a while he comes with a film like ‘Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’.

As such, he is the one who made Sidz a youth icon. But now due to small issues, the gaps are reportedly widening and Dil Raju feels there is no point in hanging with Siddarth. As a result, sources say he began a massive search to find a new replacement and one person has been found.

He is Gautham, son of Brahmanandam. People may not connect to this but it is heard that Dil Raju got connected to Gautam strongly. As such, Gautam was seen in the film ‘Pallaki Lo Pelli Kuthuru’ few years back and he gave good performance. After a long gap, he came with ‘Vaarevah’ which became a big dud because of wrong placement.

From then on, no one cared about Gautham but Dil Raju has recognised the potential in him. Inside news is that even the talented director Madhura Sreedhar is also planning for a project with him. Maybe Gautham will give a mind-blowing performance or audience will blow their minds watching him. Let us see what happens.

There is an age old saying in Telugu which goes ‘Katha Kanchiki Manam Intiki’ and right now this is being discussed among few cine folks. The reason for that is the announcement made by the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma sometime back about a project titled ‘Ramayanam’.

Sources say this project is almost gone to Kanchi now. Apparently, this involves huge casting and heavy budget so producers are not very keen to come forward. However, it is heard that RGV will wait for a producer to come. If no one comes, he will enter the field and make it in his own way.

But so far no noise has been made. The press note that Ramu gave created a lot of hungama but that has been the case with most of his projects. For now, the only concrete project has been his Hindi movie ‘Department’ which is reaching the final stages of its making. Let us see what comes next

It is a common trend followed in Hollywood that whenever a raunchy sex scene or intimate scene is shot, if the heroine is not comfortable a body double is used. This culture slowly began in Bollywood also with the increase in erotic scenes and adult sequences. However, here is an interesting incident.

It is heard that during the shooting of the film ‘Murder’ which saw the rise of a new sex goddess Mallika Sherawat, few intimate scenes were being shot. But Mallika was reportedly uncomfortable doing those scenes. So, the director got a body double. It turned out that the body double was very sexy than Mallika and had a great curvaceous body.

Realising the oomph factor the body double got, Mallika immediately stepped up and said she will do the scenes. The lucky man to enjoy both was the serial kisser Emraan Hashmi. And though Mallika took the last minute decision to get intimate, it has changed her fortune in a big way. Thanks to that body double.

The milky white beauty Tamannah is known to torture all men aged between 16 to 60 years. Given her natural attraction and the overflowing sex appeal, this starlet is responsible for giving sleepless nights to the male generation. But now, it is heard that Tamannah is facing a different kind of torture.

It is known news that Tammu is the leading lady of the film ‘Rebel’ starring young rebel star Prabhas. This is being directed by Lawrence. Now, it is heard that Lawrence has decided to remake the movie in Tamil and he wants to be the hero in that. While that is okay, here is the problem.

Unit members reveal that Lawrence has been torturing Tamannah to be part of the remake as his leading lady. As it is, the awesome beauty Anushka walked out of ‘Rebel’ during the start unable to bear Lawrence’s antics. Many are suggesting that Lawrence should try for the other heroine Deeksha Seth and spare Tammu. Let us see what happens.

Director Sampath Nandi is feeling the pressure even before the audio launch of his big ticket with ‘Racha’ starring Mega Powerstar Ram Charan and milky white beauty Tamanna.

The first person to be blamed, if this film fails too hit the bulls eye would be the captain of the film, The Director. Sampath Nandi, who is well aware of this fact have been spending sleepless nights for quite some time now. Unable to cope up with the enormous pressure, the young director got addicted to sleeping pills.

“Ever since the time this project got finalized, Sampath Nandi is working day and night to live up to the expectations. The hype over the film is taking a toll on him,” said a source close to the unit.

Sampath Nandi seems to have undergone a lot of pain during the making of the film and the success of Racha could only make him forget the painful experience. We can expect Racha to make the cash registers ringing, as hard work and dedication always pays off. Let’s Hope So!!!

Glamorous mothers grooming their daughters as next generation heroines is a general trend followed in films. When it comes to the case of yesteryear beauty queen Sreedevi and her daughter Jahnavi, this trend becomes much more specialized. There is a big talk on the debut of Jahnavi with any of the South Films owing it as their pleasure because Sreedevi roused to great heights of fame in B-town only after making it to top in South film industry.

Although nothing of a clearance is offered by Sreedevi on Jahnavi’s first entry but the way this doting mother is focusing on daughter’s career is seen all the way when she is focused to cameras at recent event of Lakme Fashion Week. The pretty daughter is easily stealing the limelight wearing attractive costumes revealing the needed. Some say, Sreedevi is trying extra mile to show herself still as younger as her daughter while Jahnavi is silently pulling the camera crowds.

Satellite Rights have become the best business tool for Producers to recover their prime investment made in production of a film. Unlike small and medium budget average films that are also making Rs.1 Crore easily in the form of Satellite Rights, one could anticipate on what would be the price of a film coming from Junior NTR and that too with positive pre-release talk? Yes, we are talking about ‘Dammu’ in direction of most successful Boyapati Srinu slated for release very soon and price of the Satellite Rights.

Fresh update from our filmy sources says that Zee Telugu bagged the rights of ‘Dammu’ for a whopping Rs.6.6 Crores which is highest in terms of any business on smaller screen circuit. Although there is good competition among TV channels to buy best movies, ‘Dammu’ faring for this kind of big show is nothing surprising because Junior NTR is the craziest star in Andhra Pradesh.

Post ‘Simhadri,’ the stream of failures faced by junior ntr made a strong point that Nandamuri Young Tiger should adopt more for versatile characterizations instead of hanging on with directors who focused only on his mass mannerisms. Accordingly NTR changed his working methodology for ‘Kantri, Adurs, Brindavanam’ to re-appear in a new charm. Luckily, more or less all three clicked at Box Office and Junior came out of those branded punches and stories by which Nandamuri Heroes are usually addressed with.

Stills of ‘Dammu,’ the upcoming flick from NTR are creating tense moments especially for Nandamuri Fans. Reason being director Boyapati Srinu calling ‘Dammu’ as a regular film. Going by some deadly experiences of other Nandamuri Heroes in recent time, the big questions that need answers are…can audience accept NTR getting back in his best or old action form? Will Boyapati’s run of the mill mass treatment work this time? Wait till next month and we are to get enough answers.

It appears, hero ram is all set to create a rare record among the present day heroes of tollywood. His latest movie, ‘Endukante Premanta’ is being canned in two languages simultaneously. They are Telugu and Tamil. The Tamil version of the film has been titled as ‘En Endraal Kaadal Enbein’. Currently, he is giving his own voice for the Tamil flick. According to ram, he is facing a different experience in doing the movie in two languages.

Milky beauty Tamanna is doing opposite to ram. G.V.Prakash Kumar is composing the music. Sravanthi Ravi Kishore is producing the movie under Sravanthi Movies. Karunakaran is the director. The makers are planning to release the movie on the same date in both the languages.

There are bundles of talents lying outside the film industry. While some get an easy access into industry others aren’t endowed with the same. The second category of craftsmen adopts various paths like exhibiting their inventiveness on Youtube or any other social networking platforms. One such team which came to light by the good work of TV9 is of ‘Businessman 2’ with tagline of ‘Toilets Don’t Need Agreements.’

Four people Mallik, Suresh, Hanuman and Anil who made a parody of ‘Businessman’ in the name of ‘Businessman 2’ is going rounds on net spreading the humor and social message for improvement in civic sense among public. On the other side, some of Mahesh Babu Fans are angry with TV9 for promoting such ‘D’egrading stuff but definitely others are to agree ‘Businessman 2’ as a quality attempt by this very small team. Fortunate enough that team members of ‘Businessman 2’ are die hard admirers of both Puri and Mahesh Babu.

Balakrishna and Chiranjeevi have been friends (!) in the film industry, but have turned foes due to their political ideologies. Recent verbal exchanges between the stars have put their relation at bay. Balakrishna crossed the line by furious verbal attack against Chiranjeevi and the latter maintained his cool.

Now there is a buzz being heard among the film circles that Balakrishna is going to throw more satires on Chiranjeevi in the film Adhinayakudu. This movie has political backdrop and Balakrishna plays the role of Chief Minister in it. There are many powerful scenes and dialogues written for this character it seems.

Balakrishna has taken indirect and direct digs at Chiranjeevi in this film and the director has created situations is what the grapevine say. If this turns into reality and Balakrishna targets Chiranjeevi through movie, then the rift between the stars will get even worse.
