For nearly three decades, three Khans have dominated the Bollywood i.e, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. The top position was exchanged and occupied by these three Khans and no other hero surpassed them.

But in the last couple of years, King Khan, Shah Rukh could not deliver a single blockbuster and is clearly behind in race. Salman Khan mostly dominated by delivering Rs 100 crore and Rs 200 crore films regularly. In 2018 all three Khans have come up with disasters and it is quite shocking as if one Khan flops, the other would compensate every year.

First was Salman who released ‘Race 3’ for his favourite Ramzan holiday season. Though the film registered stunning numbers in the initial days, the collections dropped drastically. Then Aamir came with ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ for Diwali season. This film is one of the biggest disasters of Bollywood. Made with a budget of Rs 300 crore, ‘Thugs’ could not collect even half of it.

Last was Shah Rukh with the much hyped ‘ZERO.’ The film met with poor reviews and lukewarm response from audience. Once again Shah Rukh faced a setback and his flop marathon is continuing without any break.

This is a rare year that no Khan scored a hit and fans are quite disappointed. Will they bounce back or is it the end roads for the Khans’ domination, 2019 will be the answer.

Some of the actors have gone on to score huge hits at the box-office this year but Mega Power Star Ram Charan will eventually achieve ‘Hero of the Year’ feat. With Rangasthalam, the actor has not just scored a super success but also displayed his acting potential by choosing a versatile role that’s away from his star image.

Keeping away his mass hero image, the actor has dared to do the character of ‘Chitti Babu’, a man with hearing impairment. With his outstanding performance, the actor gave a tight slap to all his detractors who criticized his acting in previous films. Besides delivering a brilliant performance as the lead actor, Ram Charan has achieved the ‘Non-Baahubali’ record with Rangasthalam. The film almost collected a share of Rs 125 Crore by end of its full run.

In the past, Ram Charan proved his mettle after working with the talented director Rajamouli for Magadheera. Film Rangasthalam has not put the actor back in No.1 race but also gave Mega fans the much needed boost. Ram Charan will not just emerge as top actor of the year-2018, but he also is sure to bag several ‘best actor’ awards.

Samantha is becoming mom! Albeit, it is on screen. Sam would be becoming mother to actor Rao Ramesh. It might sound strange, but it is indeed true. This is going to happen in director Nandini Reddy’s upcoming film.

Touted to be the Telugu remake of Korean movie ‘Miss Granny’, Samantha would be donning a powerful and prominent role. She will be seen as a 70-year-old and Nandini has cast Rao Ramesh as Sam’s son in the film.

Titled as ‘Baby, Entha Sakkagunnave’, Naga Shaurya would be seen as Sam’s husband. The original ‘Miss Granny’ is about a 70-yr-old lady who visits a photo studio to get photographed. While she walks out of studio, she meets a 20-year-old girl who’s look-alike of her. What was the conversation that took place between the duo and where it leads form the crux of the story.

Sam would act as both 70-yr-old lady and 20-yr-old girl. Suresh Babu is bankrolling the film under Suresh Productions. A formal announcement about the film would be made very soon. Meanwhile, Sam is busy with Naga Chaitanya and Siva Nirvana’s ‘Majili’.

When #BigBoss2 started in mid-2018, one of the contestants who was promoted as a common man is none other than Nutan Naidu. Though this guy has this political backdrop and aspirations to contest on Janasena ticket from Vizag suburbs, he failed to take everyone by a storm with his Big Boss entry.

That said, Nutan Naidu gained enough attention in the two Telugu states and even got a re-entry with many people voting for him. And then, he has exited the house yet again, but the antics that made everyone turn eyeballs to him haven’t gone waste. He has got a lifetime chance to prove his talents now.

Yes, Nutan is all set to make his silver screen debut as he already finished shooting for his debut film which is hitting cinemas this Sankranthi. He will be seen in a major role in the upcoming “F2, Fun and Frustration” which features Venkatesh and Varun Tej in the leads.

In case if Nutan proves his talent this time, then surely he will stay forever in Tollywood doing the comedy character roles.

Seems like the mega powerstar is letting his guard down from the last couple of days as he is enjoying this holiday season big time. Along with his wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela, he is partying with his good friends.

Other day Charan and Upasana have thrown another Christmas party for their friends and that became a talk of the town now. As the mega hero posed with the ladies of the party, Upasana shared a picture of that, adding, “Mr C’s Christmas with all the lovely ladies”.

We can see the likes of Upasana, Jr NTR’s wife Lakshmi Pranathi, heroine Kiara Advani, Upasana’s sister Anushpala, photographer and cousin Dia Mehta Bhupal and another cousin Shreya Bhupal in the picture. Its good to see them all partying and posing for the camera.

Meanwhile, the two ladies who are missing in this picture are other good friends of Charan-Upsi, they are none other than Namrata Shirodkar and Sania Mirza!!

Among all the films that are going to hit cinemas in the upcoming Sankranthi season, the bigger ones are surely Balayya’s NTR Kathanayakudu, Ram Charan’s Vinaya Vidheya Rama and Venky & Varun Tej’s F2, while Rajnikanth’s Petta might join the gang as well.

One may think that Varun Tej and Venkatesh’s flick might get a fewer response owing to the high octane films around it. But producer Dil Raju is quite confident that he is going to stun the audiences big time with his film’s release. He is said to be banking on three factors for the same.

Firstly, he feels that F2 is the proper family film while NTR biopic and Charan’s #VVR might attract youths and fans. At the same time, none of these films other than Fun and Frustration will have that comedy tint. That is the second factor Dil Raju is confident about.

On the third, we have this festival season that gives holidays to everyone so Telugu people would like to watch at least 2-3 films. He feels that even if they pick one from #NTR, #VVR, and Petta, the other will be surely F2. Hope his calculations will match to the content of the film, and give him success.

Though we have Mass Raja Raviteja acting blind in a whole movie (Raja The Great, directed by Anil Ravipudi), his acts are never convincing. Just in the name of cinema, he has broken all the logic, defied gravity and knocked it like an open-eyed guy.

Recently this darky comedy crime film has come which stunned the whole of Hindi audiences with the protagonist playing a mischievous blind man and finally becoming a real blind man towards the end. Yes, it is Andhadhun. Both Ayushman Khurana and Tabu have delivered some spine-chilling performance in this film.

Reports are now coming up that though many makers have run after director-producer Sriram Raghavan with lucrative offers, the director has decided to direct this film as a Telugu-Tamil bilingual for the south with a talented hero. And he is said to have picked ‘Bommarillu’ fame Siddharth for the same.

Siddharth is a great performer, but many opine that it would be more interesting to see any young hero in that role. The makers also need a perfect choice for an actress to play the role done by Tabu, as bad casting will kill the essence. Let’s see what happens.

‘Devasena’ is getting ready to enthrall fans as she is keen to sign a couple of movies very soon. But then, she has signed this particular film and some cinema enthusiasts see that as something that could prove fatal to her career.

If a heroine does particular types of roles, she might get typecast for sure. And now, after Bhaagamathie, Anushka is said to be heading for another horror cum supernatural thriller. Like the way recently heroine Anjali wrapped the whole film “Chitrangadha” in the USA, now Anushka is going on a similar path. But how far that is going to work?

Though the makers are super confident of their script, starring back to back in horror movies is said to be horrifying her fans, because they don’t want Anushka to get stuck in the same genre and are actually desiring to see her as that beautiful action queen they saw in Baahubali 2.

Anyway, any prediction about an upcoming film will be unworthy until we see the trailer or teaser of it. Here, even the shooting hasn’t commenced. So just relax for now!

After scoring a hit with Dhruva, and then tumbling down with Spyder, for reasons better known to herself, spicy seductress Rakul Preet Singh is not signing Telugu movies. Like we said already, she is not at all seen on the Telugu silver screen in 2018.

According to the grapevine, with Naga Chaitanya and Venky’s Venky Mama not happening anytime soon, Rakul is said to have signed another film. We hear that she was approached by hero Nitin’s producer and she agreed to do the film. Though one may not expect a starlet of her stature to sign Nitin’s film, but still that is likely to happen, say sources.

As Nitin is likely to romance Rashmika Mandanna in Venky Kudumula’s movie, it looks like he will be running around trees with Rakul Preet in Chandrasekhar Yeleti’s film. In the first place, let this Yeleti-Nitin film get some confirmation as that creative director is struggling to lock a hero for his next.

Other than these Telugu films, Rakul has two Hindi movies and two Tamil films in her hand right now!!

Naga Babu’s recent mocking at Nandamuri Balakrishna, saying that he does not know who ‘Balayya Babu’, has gone very popular in media and no one from the film industry, not even from Balakrishna’s camp responded on it due to obvious reasons.

It is understood by all that Naga Babu said so in counter to Balayya’s comment on Pawan Kalyan in the same way and looks like Naga Babu is not done with it yet. The Mega brother shared yet another video, this time with a child singing ‘Saare Jahan Se Acha’ beautifully.

Now it is not rocket science to relate Naga Babu’s new video to ‘Bul Bul’ trolls on Balakrishna’s election campaign where the latter tried to pick and repeat words of ‘Saare Jahan Se Acha’ but ended up as food for trolls with stumbled words.

With the ongoing keyboard wars between Mega and Nandamuri fans with Naga Babu’s earlier comments, the latest one is fueling them up.
