Babai Balakrishna Taking care Of Taraka Ratna’s Cremation Too?
When Nandamuri Taraka Ratna was admitted to the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru, Nandamuri fans and Telugu Desam Party supporters hoped that he would come back strong and actively participate in the party activities. Sadly that did not happen, and he passed away while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
The news came as a shocking news one and all. He passed away on Saturday. The Nandamuri family heroes went to see him and the members of the Tollywood fraternity mourned his death. They could not believe that Taraka Ratna passed away at a young age.
YSRCP Rajya Sabha member Vijayasai Reddy who happens to be the uncle of Alekhya Reddy, wife of Taraka Ratna addressed the media and said that the family was shocked by his demise and they are dealing with indescribable pain and loss.
He also said that Taraka Ratna’s last rites will be held at 3 PM on Monday and Nandamuri Balakrishna is the one who fixed the time. Having said that, the Rajya Sabha member also thanked Balakishna on the occasion for the support he had extended till now.
It has to be mentioned here that Nandamuri Balakrishna has been attending Taraka Ratna from day one of his hospital admission. He was admitted to a hospital in Kuppam first and then shifted to another big hospital. However, he was shifted to the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru and was treated there for a few weeks.
Balakrishna spoke to the doctors at Narayana Hrudayalaya and took care of all the things. Now he also fixed the time for the cremation. As Nandamuri Balakrishna is a strong believer in god and knows astrology he might have fixed the time as per that.
His mortal remains were shifted to his Mokila residence from Bengaluru and from there his mortal remains were shifted to Film Chamber earlier today so that people can see him for the last time and pay tributes.
Taraka Ratna had a big debut in Tollywood and as many as nine films were signed.Okato Number Kurraadu was his debut film. However, he started experimenting as he could not succeed as a hero. He acted with Nara Rohit in Raja Cheyyi Vesthe in which he played a stylish villain.
Young Hero Scores Another Flop,Despite Mega Backing!
Santosh Shoban who started his career in Tollywood as a child actor had started doing supporting roles and then became a lead actor. He was introduced to Tollywood with Golconda High School and he made a debut as a lead actor with Thanu Nenu in 2015. He acted in a bunch of films too.
But he failed to score a good hit yet. In his career spanning eight years, he appeared in six films and none of them succeeded. His latest outing Sridevi Shobanbabu hit the theatres the other day. But it got negative reviews from the audiences and not promoting the film is said to be the major reason behind the film not getting a good start.
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s daughter Sushmita bankrolled the film and despite this, the film was not promoted and this made Santosh Shoban face another flop. On top of this, Sridevi Shobanbabu has nothing new to offer as it tells us the story of the hero and heroine getting married and reuniting their broken families.
Santosh Shoban is a good actor and can emote well. But not selecting the right scripts is leaving a toll on him. He is unable to score a hit no matter if he works with a debut director or noted director.
He joined forces with director Maruthi, who is known for making entertaining films. But Manchi Rojulochaie failed to see box office success. Mehreen Pirzada played the leading lady in this.
The only relief he had in his career is Ek Mini Katha. Though the film was not released in theatres and had a direct OTT release, the film received a decent response from audiences. Merlapaka Gandhi gave an entertaining film with Ek Mini Katha.
Coming back to Sridevi Shoban Babu, it is helmed by debut director Prasanth Kumar Dimmala and Sushmita Konidela bankrolled the film under the Gold Box Entertainments banner. Gouri Kishan played the leading lady in the film and shared the screen solace with Santosh Sobhan. They played cousins in the film that has an ensemble cast of Rohini Molleti, Naga Babu, Moin, and others. Kamran scored the music.
Can The Hit Trio Deliver Once Again?
Are the trio of ‘Varisu’ combining again? Are Vamsi Paidipally, Dil Raju and Vijay getting ready for another big-budget project? As we know, ‘Varisu’ came out during the Sankranti season amidst grand expectations and turned out to be a success. Despite getting the desired success in Telugu, the film turned out to be a sensational hit in Tamil.
With the help of Vijay’s unparalleled craze, the movie gained huge collections and Dil Raju earned a lot of profits in Tamil despite the minor losses in Telugu states. Insiders reveal that this trio is planning another big movie and the story is also reportedly locked. Apparently, Paidipally narrated a line to Vijay and the hero instantly liked it.
Currently, the ‘Maharshi’ director is expanding the story and Vijay is also making moves to take this movie on floors as soon as possible. As we are aware, Vijay is currently working on ‘Leo’ which Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing. Vamsi’s film may take off once ‘Leo’ gets wrapped up. There were a few complaints on ‘Varisu’ that it is quite routine and predictable. Apparently, the director is making sure that the script excites the viewers this time.
With his craze slowly getting big in Telugu, Vijay is trying to solidify it by arriving with two big projects like ‘Leo’ and Vamsi’s film in quick succession. If this movie goes on floors, it will be Vamsi’s third Tamil film after ‘Varisu’ and ‘Tozha’ (‘Oopiri’ Tamil version). Vamsi is a prolific director in Telugu with hits like ‘Brindavanam’, ‘Yevadu’ and ‘Maharshi’ under his belt.

Venkat Boyanapalli under the banner of Niharika Entertainment. The glimpse which came out in January got a very good response and there are high expectations on this movie.
As we know, top-notch Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui came onboard and he is going to be a crucial role in this flick. The ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ actor’s presence will be a massive asset for the movie and we need to see how the characters of Venkatesh and Nawazuddin are going to be in this movie. Apart from Nawazuddin, sources say that Tamil star hero Arya is also playing a key role in this movie.
According to reports, he will be seen in a very powerful role and the regular shooting will start in the first week of April. This is expected to be the costliest movie in Venkatesh’s career.

What’s more interesting is that Vijayasai Reddy was seen having interactions with Chandrababu Naidu and Jr NTR at Tarakaratna’s residence.
