Ravi Teja Not Charging Remuneration Now?
This comes as a shock to many producers. No producer would believe that Ravi Teja is not charging remuneration. Because he has got a bad name for being sturdy about money.
Ravi Teja had lost many interesting projects when he refused to cut down asking price for the films.
In a surprising move, he has now completely done away with the remuneration for a new film that he has recently signed.
Ravi Teja is presently acting in director Vi Anand’s “Disco Raja”. From this October, he will start working for director Ajay Bhupathi’s “Maha Samudram”.
Ajay Bhupathi informed Ravi Teja that he wants to spend more money on production and visuals and requested him to cut down his remuneration. Ravi Teja sprang a surprise.
He told the director that he would not charge a remuneration but would take a share in profits after the film completes business. This is a win-win situation for both of them.
Three duds in a row – “Nela Ticket”, “Touch Chesi Chudu” and “Amar Akbar Anthony” have made Ravi Teja realize that his market is shrinking.
Hence, he has agreed for a share in profits instead of remuneration.
Priyanka gets trolled for smoking a cigarette in Miami
Actress Priyanka Chopra, who had earlier opened up about suffering from asthma, was seen enjoying a smoke on a yacht with her family.
In a photograph doing the rounds on social media, Priyanka is seen smoking a cigarette, while her mother Madhu Chopra and her pop-singer husband Nick Jonas are seen enjoying a cigar on a yacht ride.
Social media users took no time to troll Priyanka, who last year had shared an ad campaign where she was seen talking about how asthma did not stop her from achieving the highs in her career.
The actress, who had supported an anti-pollution campaign during Diwali, was also called out for enjoying fireworks during her wedding in December last year.
One user tweeted: “So sweet – Priyanka Chopra trying to cure the asthma she developed on Diwali.”
“Dear Indians please don’t burst crackers for Diwali since Priyanka Chopra has Asthma,” another wrote.
One person questioned on her being a role model.
The user wrote: “Thank you Priyanka Chopra for encouraging smoking. Present generation needs role models like you.”
A user wrote: “Priyanka Chopra has asthma. Priyanka Chopra hates smokers. Priyanka Chopra campaigns against smoking. But Priyanka Chopra also smokes cigarette aise kaise chalega bauji (how will this work?) Priyanka Chopra.”
Losing The ‘family’ Market?
Geeta Govindam helped Vijay Devarakonda make inroads into the family market as well.
But the promos of his upcoming film Dear Comrade might just make them stay away from the film as it seems to be high on lip-locks and geared more towards attracting the youth audience.
Devarakonda is on the road to becoming an A-lister and for this to happen, he should try and strike a balance hereby he can reach out to all sections of audience.
Restricting his movies to youth audiences will mean that he has to start doing television serials after his youth is over.
Dil Raju Regrets For Losing iSmart?
Let’s call spade a spade. Until iSmart Shankar got released on Thursday to a thunderous start, the expectations on the film in trade and industry circles was not great.
Even top distributors and producers like Dil Raju who had lost chunk of money with Puri’s last film Mehbooba were not confident enough on iSmart Shankar.
Though Dil Raju initially shown interest in iSmart had backed out of it after his business terms didn’t meet with Puri and Charmi.
While Dil Raju wanted the loss on Mehbooba to be compensated with iSmart rights with a lesser price, Puri and Charmi were against to it. Hurt with it, Dil Raju decided not to take the distribution rights of iSmart.
This seems to be a wrong decision by Raju as the film earned 16.73 Crore share in AP and Telangana in 3 days i.e 7.36 Crore share in Nizam alone, the film has given a rude shock to trade experts and noted distributors.
Even many producers who had no expectations on iSmart are now surprised with the mind-boggling Box Office figures of the film.
Apparently, Dil Raju is now regretting his decision to not take the distribution rights of iSmart Shankar.
Public Talk: You Should Watch Amala Paul’s Aame
Dusky beauty Amala Paul’s latest movie ‘Aame’ is here and not many have would have known that about the release as there are a bit low promotions. But the film is getting a strong word of mouth due to Amala’s terrific portrayal of the role Kamini.
While the film is said to be a bit boring in the first hour, the second hour is where you get stunned. Suddenly Amala finds herself stranded in a huge building and without any piece of cloth over her body. So what happened to her and happens to her is the rest of the story.
And the high point is that Amala is seen totally naked in almost the whole of the second half, about whom, you could see a teaser released by Amala herself. And the scenes are shot quite aesthetically pleasing that you will never feel awkward about Amala, rather you find her disturbing. That’s a terrific and daring act from her.
Currently, the film is seeing huge footfalls being Sunday and the mouth talk is spreading quite faster. We have to see where Aame of Amala stands next week.
Why Those Two Directors Are Very Close To Mahesh!
Whatever the event that is taking place at Mahesh Babu’s places, whether that is a film success party or a birthday party, few guests are a must. All these days there used to be Namrata’s friends and their spouses at Superstar’s parties, but now two known Telugu celebs have become a regular.
They are none other than Vamsi Paidipally and Meher Ramesh. Other day at Mahesh’s daughter Sitara birthday party, these two have made their presence felt, thereby getting the attention of film lovers too. And one wonders where did these new friendships of Mahesh have actually started.
After delivering a film like Maharshi, surely Vamsi is expected to tag along with the star hero. And then, by looking at that kiss-picture where Mahesh planted one on Vamsi’s cheek at Maharshi success party, one could understand about their bonding.
Cut to Meher Ramesh, this director who is no more narrating any new stories to star heroes owing to flops like Kantri, Billa and Shadow, he has actually got close to Mahesh after he directed him in a TV commercial for a real estate company. Since then the two have struck a bond and it’s going quite superb, they say.
#BigBoss3: Jr Samantha Replaces Serial Artist?
Other day we have already released a list of 15 probable contestants who are rumoured to be entering the latest edition of Telugu reality show Big Boss.

Ashu Reddy is a well-known name for Dubsmash lovers for her resemblance to actress, star heroine Samantha. For that reason, she not only has lakhs of followers on the video app but also gets fondly called as Jr Samantha by her admirers.
She’s said to have got the call today morning to get ready with everything, in order to enter the #BigBoss3 house late in the night.
Not just for her dubsmash videos Ashu Reddy is also famous for the controversy that she got plastic surgery to her lips and chin to look like Samantha.
The dubsmash girl, however, ridiculed those comments saying that without even a movie career in hand, why would she opt for any surgery? or do something to her body!
In the former edition of Big Boss, another Dubsmash girl Deepthi Sunayana was inducted into the house.
