Amala Paul Stands In Spot To Clear Financial Issues
Despite the fact that the teaser of Aame (Aadai in Tamil) has created lots of storms in film circles and among audiences, the film got entangled in financial issues as the producers failed to pay the dues to some financiers. With that, the film’s yesterday release got stalled and the first-ever show was screened in the night at 7.30 PM. Also, the Telugu version of the film is yet to see light.
Our exclusive source from Chennai revealed that none other than Amala Paul went to the lab to settle the dues of financiers. Whether she has arranged some money or not, is yet to be known, but it is rare that we see a heroine coming to the film-lab to solve issues related to finances. Standing and delivering is something even few star heroes failed to do, but we have to appreciate Amala on that note.
Rumours have that she returned most of her remuneration to make sure the producer will release the movie yesterday at any cost. The dusky Mallu siren is said to have pinned lots of hope on the output, as she feels that the film will turn out a blockbuster.
A while ago Amala shared that after facing all the curse words, misogyny and KDM (film release password, Key Delivery Message), finally the film is releasing in 700+ screens.
Ranarangam song: A cute one loaded with Sharwa’s love
Hero Sharwanand delivers the best when it comes to romance and he nails it in the second song of ‘Ranarangam.’ ‘Kannu Kotti’ is the song that is unveiled and it is about the love story of Sharwa and Kalyani.
With colorful costumes, Sharwa’s look appeals and his expression will definitely grab your attention. Kalyani Priyadarshan appears like a college going student and even she too flirts with Sharwa and matches him.
Karthik Rodriguez is the music composer of song and he went on to croon it. But the song composition is brilliant and there is a rap in between. Lyrics by Krishna Chaitanya compliments well with the trendy tune.
‘Ranarangam’ is being directed by Sudheer Varma and is releasing on August 15th.
Aey Jagan Gaa, Bhaad**v: RGV’s Shocking Tweet On Jagan
Eccentric filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is definitely thrilled with the success of his erstwhile assistant director Puri Jagannadh’s recent film ‘iSmart Shankar’. Already, RGV has expressed his excitement via a few tweets and then created hungama at the film’s success party at Puri’s office, Cave.
Earlier today, RGV stole the thunder when he rode triples on a bike to watch iSmart Shankar. And, the icing on the cake, rather a bit too shocking one, came in the form a tweet this evening. After watching iSmart Shankar, RGV took to his Twitter and displayed all his love for Puri using a Telangana cussword.
“Aey Jagan gaa, ittanti blockbusterlu theese dhammundi kooda yendhuku thiyyavraa bhaad**v?” This was RGV’s tweet for Jagan. Well, given Puri’s affectionate bond with RGV, he will surely take it in his stride. But, some of their fans are yet to believe what RGV tweeted.
Puri Ignores Mahesh, Picks Vijay Deverakonda
Puri Jagannadh is back in the reckoning, thanks to the much-needed success of iSmart Shankar. The film will quench Puri’s eternal wait for a blockbuster. Obviously, there is a lot of excitement and anticipation of his next movie.
Even though Puri has already announced Double iSmart, a sequel to iSmart Shankar, it’s been learnt that the project will only go on floors in 2020. Meanwhile, Puri has planned to revive his ambitious patriotic drama ‘Jana Gana Mana’.
Initially, JGM was supposed to feature Mahesh Babu as the hero. However, the project never saw the light of day over the years.
And after Puri’s shocking comments on Mahesh regarding JGM recently, chances of the Superstar joining hands with his Pokiri director are almost zero.
In this scenario, Puri is said to have ignored Mahesh and is now planning to cast Vijay Deverakonda in JGM. The latest buzz is that Vijay will listen to Jana Gana Mana’s script after Dear Comrade’s release.
If Vijay likes Puri’s narration and greenlights Jana Gana Mana, it will be a huge plus for the young hero. Puri’s signature style mass characterization will earn Vijay an additional fan base from mass audiences and help him take his stardom to the next level.

The new governors are Jagdeep Dhankhar for West Bengal, Ramesh Bais for Tripura, Phagu Chauhan for Bihar, RN Ravi for Nagaland.
