From some reasons, the start Mehrene Kaur Pirzada has seen in Tollywood is quite surprising as her debut with Krishnagadi Veeraprema Gadha won her attention though she’s not a great actor. Later, Mehrene is part of some hit films, after which things fell in a soup.

Despite the fact that she impressed early this year with F2 movie in the role of Honey, big offers never rained in her plate. Struggling with back to back flops later, Mehrene is now hoping that her ‘Chanakya’ with Gopichand will revive her career. At the same time, she has Kalyan Ram’s ‘Entha Manchivadavura’ and Danush’s next flick in her pipeline.

Ironically, all those heroes are also in need of a hit badly as their latest films didn’t work at the box office. While Gopichand has to make a strong comeback to stay in the limelight, Kalyan Ram is also in need of a hit badly. Forget about Danush’s films scoring well in Tollywood, they are not doing that great in Tamilnadu itself though he gets rave reviews.

In all likelihood, three struggling heroes are trying to save Mehrene and we have to see what happens.

Mass Raja Raviteja is suffering from a string of flops in recent times, with no film reviving his past glory. currently he’s banking on Disco Raja that is being directed by talented VI Anand who is yet to score a big commercial hit. But then, the hero is making sure that he has back to back films.

Earlier when a flop hit Raviteja, he took huge gaps to come up with the next film and during that space, many young heroes emerged and took control of the box office. This time, Ravi is making sure that he has no such gaps and has Gopichand Malineni’s film that will be starting immediately after her wraps Anand’s movie.

Inside Gopichand’s film, we hear that Raviteja will be donning Khaki dress yet again. With Vikramarkudu, Raviteja got fame as police as he nailed the role of Vikram Singh Rathod. But later on, his appearances as police in movies like Power and Touch Chesi Choodu haven’t impressed many. We have to see if he’s luck fourth time or not.

Actor Simbu, who’s one of the most talked stars of Kollywood, has been part of many remake films and they didn’t fetch him the required success. Rather, most of his movies earned him criticism, hate, and controversies. Simbu was highly criticized by the producer and director of 2017’s Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan for his unruly behavior and involvement in the project.

Many industry heads complained that his indiscipline on sets, he is late to the shoot and unprofessionalism has caused a huge loss to their projects. Recently, the actor featured in Tamil remake of blockbuster Telugu flick ‘Attarintiki Daredi’, which’s titled as ‘Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven’.

The film, produced by Karunamoorthy, was released by Lyca Productions. Unfortunately, the makers officially declared that they had to suffer a loss of Rs 14 Cr due to this project. So, Lyca group lodged a cheating case on producer Karunamoorthy for deceiving them.

Profits and losses are common in the film industry but very rarely, a production house comes out to officially declare about the total losses incurred. Lyca is now searching for reasons behind the film’s flop.

A cheating case has been filed on writer and film producer Kona Venkat. Gemini has lodged a complaint against Kona for allegedly cheating them. Going into details, Gemini FX, which is into movie production and post-production like VFX, has apparently paid remuneration to Kona Venkat in 2017 seeking a movie story from the latter.

According to the complaint by Gemini Managing Director A Ravishankar Prasad and Joint Managing Director A Manohar Prasad, Kona Venkat has neither provided them the story nor returned the payment he had received.

Allegedly, when Gemini had sought Kona to return their payment, Kona allegedly turned down to return the amount. Gemini alleges that Kona is issuing threats when sought to return the money he had taken in 2017.

Kona Venkat has a political background. His uncle Kona Raghupathi from YSRCP is Bapatla MLA and Deputy Speaker of AP Assembly. Kona Venkat is yet to respond to the allegations and the complaint filed by Gemini Prasad. Since Kona is not new to controversies, one has to wait and see what would be his response.

Megastar Chiranjeevi has always been saying that freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narashimareddy’s biopic has been his dream for the last 20 years. In the latest interview, Chiru revealed that he got very excited when Paruchuri Brothers had narrated him the biopic’s story 12 years ago. Chiru says he has mixed feelings of excitement, confidence and tension, as Sye Raa Narasimhareddy is gearing up to open in cinemas worldwide in 3 days.

On the other hand, for the last couple of months, Chiru and Charan have been mired in an unexpected controversy. Several descendants of Narasimhareddy have been demanding Rs 50 crores from Charan for producing a film on their legendary ancestor. The case is currently being pursued in the court.

Now, for the first time, Chiru has opened up about the controversy. He said that Uyyalawada Narashimareddy’s descendants are actually very innocent and suspected that they might have been misguided by some people with vested interests. Chiru termed their demand for Rs 50 crores as “unreasonable and irrational”.

“There was never an agreement between us and Narasimhareddy’s descendants. The Supreme Court had once ruled that a biopic can be made without any prior permission from the legal heirs of a person if his story dates back to over 100 years. And during Mangal Pandey’s release, the apex court had said that no legal heir would possess any rights on a legendary person’s story after 60 years of his or her existence. But we will surely do something for Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy’s birthplace if Sye Raa makes good profits,” Chiru said.

Actress Raashi Khanna has crooned the reprised version of ‘Kanna’ from the movie ‘Oorantha Anukuntunnaru.’ The song has a feel good vibe and the visuals are good with the backdrop of Rajahmundry. Raashi’s voice gives a different touch to the song.

KM Radha Krishnan is the music composer of the film while Anurag Kulkarni crooned the male version and Vanamali penned the lyrics. Starring Nawin Vijay Krishna, Megha Chowdhury and Srinivas Avasarala in the lead roles. ‘Oorantha Anukuntunnaru’ is written and directed by Balaji Sanala.

The film is releasing is on October 5th for Dussehra festival.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s next film titled Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is arguably one of the most anticipated releases this year. Touted as a historical epic, the flick is based on the life of the unsung freedom fighter of the same name, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. Along with the south actor, the cast of the movie also includes superstar Amitabh Bachchan, and the film will mark the first on-screen collaboration of the two. Recently, the two megastars came together for an interaction with actor Farhan Akhtar and spilled beans on various topics ranging from their upcoming film to how Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy was Chiranjeevi’s dream project.

During their conversation, Amitabh Bachchan revealed that he had advised Chiraneevi to not join politics, but the latter decided to go ahead with it and is now regretting his decision. Big B said that he had also advised the same to Rajnikanth and Pawan Kalyan, but they were very passionate about this field. The Sholay actor quipped that he keeps giving advice to Chiranjeevi, but he never listens. “One day he said sir you know, I think that I need to join politics. I said sir please don’t make that mistake. I have told Rajni the same thing but he never listens. He says ‘I don’t know what to do sir’. Then I said please don’t do this. Anyhow he went in, so he said, ‘I am sorry sir but I have gone in now’. Then after sometime he came out and said, ‘but I have come out of it now’.” said Big B.

Chiranjeevi added and to Big B’s revelation and said, “Yes. Now we are regretting.” For those who are unaware of the south superstar’s political career, in 2008 Chiranjeevi started his own party, Praja Rajyam in Andhra Pradesh. Later, in 2014, the actor received immense criticism, with many believing that he sold his party to the Indian National Congress, and blamed him for not having a stand against the state’s bifurcation.

Along with Amitabh Bachchan and Chiranjeevi, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy will also star Kichcha Sudeepa, Vijay Sethupathi, Jagapati Babu, Nayanthara, Tamannaah and Ravi Kishan in key roles.

The flick is being bankrolled by Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan, and the flick is slated for an October 2 release.
