Already we have read about how the studio that has produced Arjun Reddy Tamil remake shelved the whole film to make a new version with a new director. And then we have also ready how director Bala has given whole footage to these producers such that they will modify and re-use it without the director’s name. What is the public opinion on this fiasco anyway?

Well, whether Bala chose to exit the project or the producers tried to give a color that they really dumped the whole film to shoot a new one, it is this director whose fame got dented. Films like Seshu, Suryaputrudu and recently Jyothika’s Nachiyaar have got immense fame for Bala and his creative penchant. And now that this director has carved Arjun Reddy Tamil remake, many felt it will be a great film.

And with a director such stature distancing from the movie citing whatever the reason it could be, definitely that makes people think about him in the first place. They wonder if he left it out due to compulsion or arrogance. All said and done, Bala’s career graph will now carry this Arjun Reddy stain for a long time.

Naga Babu’s healthy criticism of ABN and Andhrajyothy are definitely a welcome change. Certainly, criticism of media is welcoming. However, what is wrong with Naga Babu is his selective and convenient criticism. The question is why only ABN and Andhrajyothy when most of other media houses including Sakshi have taken clear sides towards their party.

No doubt, ABN and Andhrajyothy are favourable to TDP and Chandrababu and Sakshi towards YSRCP. This is a wide known fact. At the same time, 99TV is also very biased towards Pawan Kalyan and Janasena. In fact, on many occasions, Pawan and Naga Babu have openly referred 99TV as their channel (“Mana Channel”) – as it pushes the agenda of Janasena.

Can Naga Babu dare to criticize 99TV? Only if he can do that, he will be considered credible and genuine. Only if he can criticize 99TV, then he will be considered as a statesman. If not, he will be considered as a pure politician who takes on opponents and will be confined as an unofficial spokesperson of Janasena.

Actor Sai Dharam Tej has been shooting for his next film Chitralahari with director Kishore Tirumala and it has been learnt that the movie will explore a very emotional relationship that the hero shares with a special person.

Apparently, the film will see Sai Dharam Tej and his father Posani Krishna Murali share a special bond which is touted to be the highlight. In fact, this track will take equal importance with the romance track that will parallelly run through the flick and some emotional sequences have been coined around this bond.

Presently being shot in Mumbai, the film stars Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nivetha Pethuraj as the female leads and is a family entertainer.To release on April 12, the film has music by Devi Sri Prasad and is being bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers.

While F2 is a Sankranthi release whose light is slowly going to lose its sheen, Yatra is fresh from the farm to attract more viewers. But trade buzz has that still the Venky and Varun Tej starrer is showing stars to all other films out there like the way it sidelined NTR biopic and Vinaya Vidheya Rama as well.

Sample this: Yesterday (Feb 9th) some big theatres in RTC X Roads of Hyderabad city witnessed a stunning phenomenon as F2 collected 53K from the First Show while the theatre playing Yatra made only Rs. 44K. That 10K excess shows how F2 is being liked by the masses.

Even if we take the second show collections from this area, Yatra has slightly surpassed F2 but haven’t showcased true domination. While trade expects that both the films will run, none is anticipating that F2 will reign the registers even after 30 days of its release.

Meanwhile, Yatra picked up in some areas due to good word of mouth about the emotional content inside, while A centres are witnessing a downward trend.

Though her second film has failed big time at the box office, leaving her clueless about her next projects, Danga fame Fatima Sana Shaikh is a super hit on social media. From inviting trolls to enticing glamor lovers, her pictures speak bigger and louder all the time.

Posing in designer wear, Fatima’s latest picture will surely melt rocks as she rocks with ample sex appeal. Oozing loads of glamour in a killer outfit, we have to say that she is killing it through those dazzling looks and seductive pose. For the now, this picture is breaking many hearts out there.

On the films front, Fatima will soon join her Dangal sister, actress Sanya Malhotra for a new movie. And still, the young actress is yet to move on from the debacle of Thugs Of Hindostan, from which she expected a total career uprising.

Mallu beauty Helen Nelson is quite popular in Tamil industry with her stage name Oviya. After her Bigg Boss stint last year, she became a sensation with her fans calling themselves as ‘Oviya Army’ and doing hungama on social media. And now, her latest movie “90 ML” is winning her brickbats.

Though Oviya will be seen in some big films like Lawrence’s Kanchana 3 and others, she has somehow opted to do an all-girl adult comedy that we are seeing in Bollywood these days. She has come up with ’90 ML’ which not only had her steamy lip-locks, intimate scenes and sleazy references, she also spoke double entendres quite casually, upsetting many people.

Especially Oviya’s sex bomb like acts involving kissing and skin show has upset many, and also she is getting bashed for wrongly inspiring youths with her sleazy acts in the name of desire. While a film should be seen as a film, some Tamil celebs are also condemning Oviya’s 90ML for being rustic and real.

However, if we look at the kind of films Bollywood and Hollywood are making in this genre, this is not a bit of extra. Even in Telugu, we’re having films like Cheekati Gadhilo Chilakkotudu, Edu Chepala Katha and others coming up with a similar setup.

YSR fans are criticizing Tollywood celebrities for not coming forward to talk about his biopic ‘Yatra’. However, all are not silent.

Director Maruthi has already voiced his opinion on the film. Tamil star Suriya too praised Mammootty for his varied choices of roles.

Now director Surender Reddy, who is busy filming mega period drama “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy”, took time off from his busy schedule to watch “Yatra”. He said he felt quite emotional watching the movie on screen.

“Watched Yatra! It was such a sincere emotional journey. Felt emotional on many occasions. Aided by a honest and brilliant performance by @mammukka gaaru, I felt rajanna himself was on the screen. Congratulations to the entire cast n crew for wonderful and respectful job,” he posted his view on social media.

The Mahi V Raghav directed movie took decent openings in the first weekend.

The shoot of Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ is progressing at brisk pace with Ram Charan participating in. But the other lead star NTR is missing from the action.

NTR left for a foreign trip on Monday. He was spotted at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad leaving for Dubai. His wife Lakshmi Pranathi and his son Abhay Ram also accompanied him.

Buzz is that NTR will buy some special equipment and also some clothes for “RRR”. He generally shops in Dubai for his personal consumption but this time he went there for the movie work.

NTR doesn’t have to participate in the current schedule of “RRR” as Rajamouli is filming some action sequences related to Ram Charan.

“RRR” is a period drama set in 1920’s. The entire film runs in British era. Being made with Rs 300 Cr, the action drama will have leading Bollywood stars as its female lead.

The heroines are not yet finalized.

Ravishing beauty Rakul Preet Singh said she is adventurous in real life and has done sky-diving, scuba diving and bungee jumping at places wherever it is popular.

When asked about her plans for this Valentine’s Day, Rakul said, it’s ‘DEV’ release.

“Till date I haven’t watched a film with my family and this time I’m gonna watch it with them for the first time on a release day. Every day should be celebrated as valentine’s day as it is not about two partners and it’s all about the bond,” replied Rakul in a diplomatic fashion.

About her role in ‘DEV’ she said, “I have been waiting to do love story. ‘DEV’ is a city love story that happens between an adventurous guy and an independent woman. The real plot starts when the hero character proposes to the female lead. The entire film revolves around six characters and they are emotionally driven.”

The gap in Telugu came in unexpectedly stated Rakul.

“I did 16 films in four years and the last year, I had occupied with work. I have three Tamil films and two Hindi films. So the gap came inevitably. There is no specific reason for it,” said the Delhi born Punjabi beauty.

About hero Karthi, she replied that he is always a fun-loving guy with high energy levels and good to be working for the second time.‘DEV’ is directed by Rajath Ravishankar and is releasing on February 14th.
