After Manikarnika’s release, director Krish had come out in the open and challenged Kangana Ranaut for taking away the first credit as the film’s director. He claimed that he had shot over 70 percent of the film and he in fact stated that he had carved out “Gold” but what was shown is only “Silver”.

Amidst war of words between Krish and Kangana’s team, Kangana’s sister Rangoli has now shared the screenshots of whatsapp chat between Kangana and Krish that took place.

Sharing two whatsapp screen shots, Rangoli tagged Krish and asked him to clarify. She wrote, “Here is the proof kangana clearly asked u to come & see the film on 6th December, would u please explain this …. ??”

In response to Rangoli, director Krish too disclosed a whatsapp chat with the film’s technician Vicky who had worked with both Krish and Kangana on the film. Now, Krish’s screenshots have added more fuel to the ongoing controversy.

Inducing a disorder for the hero is one sort of technique these days to impress the audiences. That trend is coming for a long time, but these days it is not working big time.

Started by Shankar in films like Aparichitudu (multiple personality disorder), this was followed by others including Trivikram who always gives some health issue to his heroines, and then Sukumar who made Mahesh a schizophrenic in 1-Nenokkadine and Ram Charan a deaf man in Rangasthalam. And recently when Raviteja played a guy with multiple personality disorder guy in Amar Akbar Antony.

Guess what, now Puri Jagan is likely to join this gang as he is also buying a disorder for his leading man. In the upcoming iSmart Shankar, hero Ram Pothineni is likely to play the role of a guy with a split personality disorder. Generally, Puri’s heroes are bold and brave, and they won’t have any minuses. It looks like for the first time a hero of him is having such deficiency.

Hope the ‘disorder’ will give the much-awaited blockbuster to Puri and Ram as well.

He came like a dragon spitting the fire, but before anything happened big, he has simply doused his energies due to circumstances. We are talking about talented young chap Raj Tarun, who is going through a rough patch now.

With back to back flops like Rangularatnam, Rajugadu, and Lover, this young hero is into thinking mode and currently had no projects in his hand. And now like that golden beam of light during the darkest hour, there came a call from mega-producer Dil Raju who produced his last flop.

Apparently, there is this script developed basing on a Turkish movie for Mahesh’s nephew Ashok Galla in Dil Raju’s compound. That project got scrapped and they are developing another script for Galla. Latest we hear is that Dil Raju got few changes made to the scrapped project and is now taking that off with Raj Tarun.

If Raju garu makes sure that this film works for Rajugadu, then this will be a bigger help for Raj Tarun for sure.

Actor Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel has launched a fresh attack on director Krishna Jagarlamudi for accusing Kangana of hijacking his movie, Manikarnika.

She says Kangana asked him to watch the final film in December after he recently said that he was shut out of the process.

Krish had finished directing the film earlier last year and had then moved on to working on his other film, the NTR biopic.

Kangana took over the director’s seat and claims that she re-shot as much as 70% of the film on her own.

Both Kangana and Krish were then credited as co-directors of the film. Krish disagreed with her getting the primary director’s credit and said she had only a minor part in making the film.

In the messages, Kangana tells

She tells him that the producer was disappointed by his version of the film and refused to give their logo to the film. He asked them to shoot the film all over again.

However, she said no one had the intention or time to shoot the film again for 45 days. But when the writers wrote new material (in which she claims she had no part to play), the producers shelled out an additional Rs 20 crore for the reshoots.

For the fact that director Krish has carved ‘Manikarnika’ but not Kangana Ranaut to the fullest, Tollywood is giving unconditional support to the director. But it looks like slowly voices are coming out in support of the Bollywood starlet too.

None other than Samantha Akkineni has now conveyed her support to Kangana, hailing that her performance in Manikarnika is something unforgettable. “It has been 2 days and I can’t get her performance out of my mind ..the only explanation I can give myself is that she must have been ‘possessed ‘ it couldn’t have been an act it just couldn’t . Please congratulate her and tell her she has our greatest support (sic)” tweeted Samantha, in response to Kangana’s sister Rangoli.

Well, there is no wrong in a fellow actress giving support to another actress, that too to another terrific actress like Kangana. However, Samantha’s silence on the direction part is what stuns many. If Kangana has delivered such a brilliant performance according to Samantha, then there will be the share of the director as well in extracting that. Isn’t it?

After wrapping the schedule of ‘Dear Comrade’ in Kakinada a month ago, young sensation Vijay Devarakonda has met his fans at a specially organized meet. And now after wrapping the shoot in Kothagudem village, he is meeting fans, elders, and others at various meets. What could anyone read from this?

Before reaching his prime, Megastar Chiranjeevi used to meet his fans, well-wishers and family audiences in the same way at the shooting spots. Seems like Vijay Devarakonda wants to carve out a similar image as he wants to penetrate deep into the masses. And these kinds of works will surely help them go deep into audiences for sure.

While Vijay is a superstar with realistic college going audiences and girls, it looks like he wants now to build on family audiences as well. And if his mass image gets to a high in this strategic way, surely his films will get more collections as there will be more footfalls into theatres.

At the same time, Vijay also took the TV commercials market quite seriously and is signing a horde of brands now. That makes him nearer to elderly women audiences at home.

The row over ‘Manikarnika’ has ended now. Krish attracted Bollywood media’s attention for three days. His interview was seen in most of the media outlets. But this publicity did more damage to him than helping.

By end of the day, it was established by Krish’s interviews that it was Kangana who ‘changed’ the film and took the final call on the movie’s shape.

‘Manikarnika’ got mixed reviews, while some critics praised and gave above three ratings; while others said it is average. Overall, the direction was not entirely slammed by the critics.

In other words, Kangana is now taking credit for it by own admission of Krish that she changed the movie entirely. His image has gone down.

Moreover, had he made these statements after delivering a hit with ‘NTR Biopic’, he would have received more credence.

When his directed film was rejected by the audiences completely, how can he talk about Kangana’s direction as she brought good collections?

Krish is now being trolled by online community. Kangana’s sister Rangoli is attacking on Krish on Twitter and she is getting more coverage.
