Nani, Babu Behind Nivetha and Aditi?
Director Indranganti Mohan Krishna, who has proved his commercial abilities with films like Gentleman and Ami Tumi is now coming up with a multi-starrer featuring Nani, Sudheer Babu in the leads. And talk is going on about this film’s lead girls now.
Apparently, the film has Nani’s Gentleman heroine Nivetha Thomas and Sudheer Babu’s Sammohanam heroine Aditi Rao Hydari as the leads. And both these films are actually directed by Indraganti only. While the director is actually hunting for other star heroines as Dil Raju wants to put in all big star cast, we hear that Nani has advised taking Nivetha. Then Sudheer is said to have recommended Aditi’s name.
Today the two heroes are heard commenting that this film is nothing but the reunion of Indraganti school’s students. But actually, some comments are being heard that these students are recommendations candidates. Whatever it may, the combination is not sounding fresh, though Nani and Sudheer’s coming together is sounding interesting.
Chiranjeevi Wants Time for Weight Lose
Koratala Siva’s woes are not ending anytime soon. He has been waiting for Megastar Chiranjeevi to allot dates for his movie but the megastar still taking time to complete his other mega epic project “Sye Raa Naraasimha Reddy”.
The latest update from “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” is that the movie needs another month’s time to wrap its entire shoot.
There after, Chiranjeevi needs another 30 to 40 days to lose some weight and get back in shape for the character that Koratala Siva has designed.
Chiranjeevi is looking bulky for the role of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy but he needs to lose flab for the modern character that Koratala Siva has written.
This has come as jolt for Koratala Siva. With the developments taking place, Siva assumes that he could only begin the actual regular shoot in August. He must be sulking now.
Avengers Slow Down in AP and TS
After setting box-office on fire in Telugu states, “Avengers: Endgame” in its first weekend, the Hollywood box-office heavyweight has now settled down.
The film has more than 50% drop on Monday.
“Avengers: Endgame” is still holding very well in Hyderabad but its collections in small towns have turned normal, nothing extraordinary to say. This has come as a breather for Telugu films.
Will other Telugu films like “Jersey” would benefit? It has to be seen. Nani’s “Jersey” has collected a share of Rs 25.10 Cr now and it needs to collect another Rs 2 Cr for registering profits. With ‘Avengers’ slowing down, this film has some chance.
On the other hand, the film took in massive Rs 30 Cr on Monday in all languages put together in India. This is huge record for any movie after “Baahubali: The Conclusion”.
With this film’s total collections now stand at Rs 190 Cr in four days in India. It is heading for big haul.
Nithya Menen As ‘Komaram Bheem’ NTR’s Jodi!
Rajamouli is busily canning key scenes in the most prestigious multi-starrer of the era #RRR.
The star cast of #RRR is not completely finalized yet. Rajamouli is still hunting for a foreign actress to play Komaram Bheem’s love interest.
Daisy Edgar Jones who was finalized for the role has walked out due to personal reasons.
There is another female character who admires Bheem played by Tarak. If the buzz is to be believed Nithya Menen has been roped up for the tribal girl character that admires Bheem.
Alia Bhatt is playing Alluri Sitaramaraju’s (played by Charan) pair. Rajamouli is making sure to have the best and widely popular actors even for cameo appearances.
#RRR is aiming for release on July 2020 release, but the filming is currently behind schedule due to casting issues and the injured lead actors.

Mahesh to Take stock of Dutt’s Issue
Mahesh Babu lands in Hyderabad today from Monaco. His Europe vacation has come to an end.
He will be attending the pre-release event on Wednesday (May 1st) and he will also talk to producer Ashwini Dutt who is demanding Rs 10 Cr profit from the project as his share.
Mahesh Babu’s team is worried with all the negative reports about the superstar. His image and reputation took a beating with this bad press.
They are also worried about the unnecessary controversies at this moment that would affect “Maharshi”. The film is already lacking right buzz due to not-so popular music by Devi Sri Prasad.
Mahesh Babu will take stock of entire situation and will settle the matter in two days, a source informed us.
He wants both producers Dil Raju and Ashwini Dutt come to an amicable solution. In all probability, Dil Raju will have to be prepared to bear the burden.
Mahesh Babu’s “Maharshi” did pre-release business in the range of Rs 130 – 140 Cr but the movie’s budget has shot up.
So, the three producers – PVP, Ashwini Dutt and Dil Raju – are not getting any money from it before the release. This has become the contentious issue.

While it comes as no surprise, Kajal is all set for her next Telugu film with Sreenivas Belllamkonda called Sita. In the film, the actress essays the role of a strong, successful businesswoman who falls in love with Sreenivas’ character.
Although her last release with Sreenivas, Kavacham wasn’t a stellar hit, fans have eagerly been waiting to see this jodi on the big screen. Kajal will also be sharing screen space with Kamal Haasan with Indian 2.
Modi Men Foil pro-TRS Farmers’ Plans!
The attempt by turmeric farmers from Telangana to file bulk nominations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh was thwarted by the local police, officials and Bharatiya Janata Party workers on Monday.
Modi’s followers have got the inputs from central intelligence authorities that those who had come to Varanasi to file nominations against Modi were not actually farmers, but were Telangana Rashtra Samithi workers. A couple of them are officially nominated as party leaders in Nizamabad.
That they were the TRS workers was evident from the informal media note issued by the TRS leaders on the denial of permission to them from filing their nominations.
Around 50 contestants from Telangana and 50 others from Tamil Nadu wanted to file the nominations, but the officials could accommodate only 15 of them, who are said to be genuine farmers.
So, it was obvious that the TRS leaders in the name of so-called turmeric farmers sought to create embarrassment to Modi by filing nominations.
Had the authorities accepted all the nominations, the polling officials would have been compelled to use jumbo EVMs or ballot boxes to conduct the polling. More than the tedious exercise of polling, it would have been a major embarrassment to Modi himself.
So, right from the day one, the police, officials and local BJP leaders hounded the farmers.
The farmers staged dharna in front of circuit house in Varanasi against local police and Election Commission for not letting all the farmers to file nomination.
They also alleged that the local police threatened their local supporters who came forward as nominees for filing the nominations against Modi.
They also alleged that the intelligence cops were tracking their movements. The EC authorities were reluctant to give nomination papers as a result of which they had to hire a lawyer to see that they get the nomination papers.
RRR: Hunt for Foreign Girl is On
It has become a big head-ache for the team “RRR” that features NTR and Ram Charan as the two warriors to find a foreign actress.
After London-based actress Daisy walked out of the movie for her other acting commitments, Rajamouli’s casting director is desperately searching for another beautiful foreign actress who could step in.
They are looking for a petite beauty who would look right pair opposite NTR. Remuneration is another issue.
Meanwhile, the team reportedly finalized Nithya Menen as the another female lead in the film. Alia Bhatt is playing the role of Seetha, wife of Alluri Seetharama Raju.
Ram Charan is essaying the younger version of Alluri Seetharama Raju in the film while NTR will be seen young Komaram Bheem, another warrior who rebelled against Nizam rule.
Legend is that Komaram Bheem married three women. Nithya Menen will be playing one of his wives’ roles. But main focus would be on the romance of NTR and the foreign girl.
“RRR” is being made with whopping budget of Rs 350 Cr in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam languages. Ajay Devgn will essay key role.
DVV Danayya is producing this mega patriotic drama.
RGV desperate for publicity to Lakshmi’s NTR!
The huge controversy over the police highhandedness in preventing controversial film make Ram Gopal Varma from entering Vijayawada and addressing a press meet at the NTR statue in the city is being viewed as yet another publicity gimmick by the director.
Varma has finally got the court nod for the release of his much-talked about film Lakshmi’s NTR in Andhra Pradesh on May Day.
But he was well aware that the film has already lost its steam, since the elections to Andhra Pradesh assembly are over and it does not serve any purpose in releasing the film.
Secondly, the film has already been released in Telangana and majority of the people from urban areas of Andhra had already viewed it and given their verdict.
The pirated version has already been in circulation in the Andhra and so, there is no other commercial value for the film now. And thus, the film has failed to generate any kind of enthusiasm among the Andhra audience.
Under these circumstances, Varma knows the film will not have a great run in Andhra theatres even it is released now. So, he needed a big controversy to draw the crowds to the theatres.
The director is trying to blame Chandrababu Naidu for the police over-action in preventing him from entering Vijayawada, while the TDP leaders have been crying from roof tops that the Election Commission has virtually taken away Naidu’s powers.
The police are now under the control of the Election Commission and even if Naidu gives directions to the police to stop Varma from entering Vijayawada, the EC can always counter him by instructing the police to allow him.
The fact is that when the model code of conduct is in force, the EC cannot allow any press conferences on controversial issues.
The police clearly said they were bound by the EC rules. If Varma felt injustice was done to him, he could have approached the EC rather than blaming Naidu.
But all that he wants is publicity for his film!
KCR Not To Back NDA After Polls?
All these days, there has been a talk that the federal front of regional parties being proposed by Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is nothing but a Team “B” of the National Democratic Alliance headed by Bharatiya Janata Party.
The Congress party was alleging that KCR had been trying to split the pro-Congress regional parties and attract them in the name of federal front only to weaken the Congress thereby benefiting the Narendra Modi-led NDA government.
Except making political criticism during electioneering, KCR has not taken up any aggressive campaign against Modi or the BJP, unlike his Andhra Pradesh counterpart and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu who has been moving heaven and earth against Modi across the country.
This has led to the talk that KCR might join the NDA government after the elections, if the BJP-coalition comes to power.
However, the latest information from the party is that KCR, too, is not willing to join hands with the BJP.
In the event of the BJP-led coalition falls short of majority, KCR will not extend support to it nor will other federal front partners like YSR Congress or Biju Janata Dal.
According to a national media report, even if the federal front was to form the government, it will not seek the support of the BJP, but if necessary, will request the Congress to support it as had happened in 1996.
In a bid to project himself as anti-BJP or anti-Modi, KCR is planning even to approach the Left parties and request them to join the federal front.
He is likely to go to Kerala in a day or two to meet the Left front leaders. From there, he will be go all the states where regional parties are strong and mobilise their support to the federal front, the national media report said.
Joke: Allu Sirish is Crossover Star!
This is another example how awards are bought or bagged using influence.Allu Sirish, younger brother of Allu Arjun, did play a small role in a Malayalam named “1971 Beyond Borders” that starred superstar Mohanlal. The film bombed at the box-office.
For this minor role, Allu Sirish has been awarded the “Crossover Star of the Year” at Lulu Fashion Week 2019 in Kochi.It is said that this award is given as a recognition for his work in “1971 Beyond Borders”. With this the whole phrase of “crossover cinema or artist” has become a joke.
Allu Sirish has not tasted big success in Tollywood so far. He is yet to get any recognition as “star material” here and he got recognition as “crossover artist”.
It is evident that he was awarded for his connections with the Lulu Group.
