Currently, the love birds are keeping their relationship under the sleeves and not revealing more details. Cupid struck them a while ago and the duo is seeing one another.

Tamanna’s exit from Ohmkar’s Raju Gari Gadhi 3 had hit the headlines.However, Ohmkar’s brother and RGG 3’s protagonist Ashwin has admitted Tamanna walking out of the film and reasoned why she couldn’t do the film. Ashwin said Tamanna’s dates were chock-a-block and Ohmkar, the whole team of RGG 3 had waited for her dates.

Ashwin said Tamanna had liked the story and her role and she wanted to do the film. But unfortunately, Tamanna couldn’t adjust her dates. Ashwin said Ohmkar had cancelled two shooting schedules to accommodate Tamanna, but as she couldn’t make it, Ohmkar had finally chosen Avika Gor, of Uyyala Jampala fame, to play the crucial role. It is said that Avika has acted so well in her comeback film and she would bag more offers after this film.

When asked about how many more parts Raju Gari Gadhi will have, Ashwin laughed and said it could be 10 parts. It can be noted that Raju Gari Gadhi 2 got bigger with the addition of Nagarjuna Akkineni and Samantha Akkineni.

Venkatesh, Naga Chaitanya starrer Venky Mama has grabbed eyeballs with its fun teaser that was launched for Dussera. Many felt that the makers of Venky Mama have missed a good chance of cashing in on the Dussera season as it is looking like a perfect festival film.

Suresh Babu also received similar feedback from trade and film circles that now he is contemplating Sankranthi 2020 release.

Venkatesh’s previous film F2 was released for last Sankranthi and went on to become a massive hit.

Therefore, Suresh Babu is considering Sankranthi release for Venky Mama as its content appeals to festival crowds. The Sankranthi 2020 race will get even spicier if Venky Mama joins it. Mahesh’s Sarileru Neekevvaru and Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikuntapuramulo haven’t locked the release date yet.

Producers of those films will be put under tremendous pressure if Venky Mama also steps in.

Journalist-cum-television anchor Swapna Sundari is likely to be appointed as the director of Sri Venkateshwara Bhakthi Channel by the Andhra Pradesh government headed by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy shortly.

According to reports doing rounds in the social media, Jagan has approved the file appointing Swapna as the director of SVBC, which is presently headed by popular actor Pruthvi Raj. Orders to this effect will be issued in a day or two.

She is understood to have given her nod for the post four days ago and she will assume charge at an auspicious muhurtham, soon after issuance of the appointment orders, sources said. Multi-talented Swapna, who came into limelight as an anchor-cum-news reader-cum-reporter in popular television channel TV9 nearly 15 years ago, later moved into Sakshi channel and rose to the level of managing director.

Though she moved out of the channel later, she continued her association with the channel as a consultant. Later, she held several positions in various other media including FM Radio and also tried her hand in music fields. She is said to be closer to Jagan’s wife and Sakshi MD Y S Bharati and the present appointment was made because of her association with Sakshi.

Jagan, who gave elevation to several senior journalists including Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, Devulapalli Amar, K Ramachandra Murthy, GVD Krishna Mohan, K Srihari and Devireddy Srinadh Reddy as advisors and other positions, is now chosen Swapna for yet another prime post.

In the evening, Allu Arjun has taken to Twitter to confirm that his latest movie Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is hitting cinemas on January 12th 2020. And then came a tweet from Mahesh Babu, clarifying that Jan 12th is the release date of Sarileru Neekevvaru. With this, the war is almost confirmed.

Though Allu Arvind and Dil Raju are not interesting in a clash as they are good friends who own a large number of theatres and other bunch of lease theatres, we hear that things didn’t work out as none of the heroes wanted to come late to the party. A gap of a day or two will help each other, but actually both the star heroes are said to be no interested in going back though they want other film to defer by a day or two.

As none of them is willing to go back, producers of the films decided to make the clash official such that distributors and exhibitors will be prepared from now onwards. But then, there are those who are confident that two big films could be safely accommodated during Sankranthi eve, and there are those who feel that one film would eat into the revenues of others due to this clash.

After 1-Nenokkadine clashed with Yevadu in 2014 Sankranthi, Mahesh has decided to go with a gap with other biggies during festivals. Similarly, he has paved way for Baahubali as well by pushing his Srimanthudu backwards. And one wonders why this clash is not being averted.

Same is the case with Allu Arjun as his father Allu Arvind is picking only solo dates for the release. A couple of days gap would have helped both Sarileru Neekevvaru and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, but wonders why the top producers and top heroes are unable to come to a conclusion.
