Ranveer plays a corrupt cop named ACP Sangram Bhalerao (Simmba) in the film, who turns over a new leaf after he deals with a rape case.When asked Ranveer what kind of reaction Deepika gave him after watching “Simmba”, he said, “She is very proud of me and as well as Rohit (Shetty) sir. She gave so many compliments to Rohit sir. So, I felt that should praise me as well.”

Adding to Ranveer’s statement, Rohit said, “We have an association since the film ‘Chennai Express’ so, she was very thrilled and very happy.””I don’t understand these statistics, number and figures. I am not a businessman. I am an artist so, you should ask me those type of questions,” Ranveer said on being about his expectations on box-office opening for his film “Simmba”.

Apart from Ranveer, Sara Ali Khan, Sonu Sood and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles, Ajay Devgn will also appear in an extended cameo in “Simmba”. The film will release on December 28.Ranveer will next be seen in Zoya Akhtar’s “Gully Boy” and Karan Johar’s period epic, “Takht”.

Vijay Deverakonda has turned down the opportunity to work with Bollywood’s rising superstar Ranveer Singh.

If reports from Bollywood are to be Bollywood, Vijay Deverakonda has politely informed the makers that he is not interested to play second fiddle to Ranveer Singh even though it provides him great platform to go national.

Ranveer Singh is all set to commence the biopic of former cricketer Kapil Dev who won World Cup for India for the first time.

Ranveer Singh is essaying Kapil’s role, while the director Kabir Khan felt Vijay Deverakonda would fit the bill for the role of cricketer Krish Srikanth.

The film is produced by Telugu producer Vishnu Induri. It was Vishnu who came up with this idea to rope in Vijay Deverakonda as he is enjoying great popularity among the youth in South India.

Buzz is that Vijay Deverakona is more interested to debut in Bollywood as lead actor in Karan Johar’s production than playing guest roles or extended guest roles in other Bollywood star’s movie.

2018 has been a disappointing year for Telugu Cinema despite some memorable films and big blockbusters.

Many films turned out to be outright flops at box office leaving buyers and producers in dire straits.

Here are the top 15 biggest duds of the year. We tried to list out top 10 flops, but the list is so big that we had to make it bigger.

1) Officer: There are duds, there are disasters and there is Officer. It is the biggest flop in the history of Telugu cinema with less than Rs. 1 crore distributor share.

The Nag-Varma duo that changed the face of Telugu cinema with Shiva has now left an everlasting scar on it with Officer.

2) Agnyathavasi: Who would have thought that the combination of Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram can go horribly wrong.

The film marked the twenty fifth appearance of Powerstar on big screen, but ended up as a landmark failure.

Trivikram’s idea of recreating Attarintiki Daredi magic has boomeranged big time.

3) Amar Akbar Anthony: Mythri Movie Makers have delivered the biggest hit of the year and also featured in the top 5 disasters list with Amar Akbar Anthony, a brand Srinu Vaitla debacle.

The Dookudu director has delivered four duds in a row and his good friend Raviteja completed a hat-trick of disasters in the same year.

4) Intelligent: Akhil proved that Vinayak’s formula can go wrong, but Intelligent makes Akhil proud. Sai Dharam Tej’s market took a huge hit with the film that his next film couldn’t even register decent attendance on its day 1.

5) Sakshyam: Bellamkonda Srinivas is becoming synonymous with big budget films and biggest duds. Sakshyam made on a very high budget turned out to be a major disappointment at the box office.

6) Srinivasa Kalyanam: Dil Raju got a shocker with Srinivasa Kalyanam, a family drama that was expected to do as well as Shatamanam Bhavati.

One cannot escape from failure with mediocre scripts all the time. Nithin also completed a hat-trick of disasters with Srinivasa Kalyanam.

7) Savyasachi: Hit combos can fail is what 2018 has taught to Telugu cinema. PK-Trivikram, RT-Vaitla was joined by Chay-Chandoo Mondeti.

The duo that delivered a successful Premam has made a mess out of the concept of vanishing twin syndrome.

8) Touch Chesi Chudu: Raviteja’s fall started with Touch Chesi Chudu directed by Vikram Sirikonda. It’s all downhill for the Mass Maharaja from here.

9) Adhugo: Ravibabu has made audience repent for watching Adhugo in which a piglet played the lead role. The film is so bad that it couldn’t even recover publicity expenses from theaters.

10) Nela Ticket: If possible, Raviteja will hope to erase 2018 from his life. The year has been so disastrous that Mass Maharaja is no longer hot in the trade.

Even Kalyan Krishna who delivered back to back hits couldn’t come up with a decent script for him.

11) Tej – I Love You: Sai Dharam Tej’s miseries continued with Tej directed by Karunakaran. Tej was a very big flop that SDT has to take a brief break to recover from the failures.

12) @Nartanashala: Naga Shourya might have felt he had finally cracked the code of box office, but it didn’t take so long for him to realize the reality.

After a successful Chalo the young actor suffered three flops in a row this year.

13) Kavacham: Bellamkonda’s woes continued even after slashing the production costs. The actor should realize that just doing dances and fights and having a top actress by his side will ensure a success.

14) Lover: Raj Tarun is another actor who delivered a hat-trick of flops in the same year. What’s more worrying is the fact that producers like Nagarjuna and Dil Raju also couldn’t give him a success. Lover would be the most forgettable film for Dil Raju in years.

15) Naa Nuvve: Kalyan Ram is yet to score a hit post Patas. He had two releases this year, but both the movies failed to click. His attempt for an image makeover didn’t yield desired results with Naa Nuvve.

Honorable Mentions: Allu Arjun’s Naa Peru Surya is one of the notable flops of the year. The star has finally ran out of luck and paid big price for his mediocre choices. Chal Mohan Ranga, Kirrak Party, Nota, Vijetha, Bhairava Geetha and the list goes on and on.

Trisha is said to have surprised by Rana’s sudden confession about their past love affair on Karan Johar’s talk show.For the first time ever, Rana has opened up about his relationship with Trisha. He has admitted that they broke up as things didn’t work out.

Even while they were dating, he refused to talk about her or admit about their relationship although Trisha gave enough hints to media then.Rana was reluctant to open up back then. He even scolded a Hyderabad journalist when the topic was brought.

Trisha has moved on in her life. She is having great phase on career front post the massive success of ’96’, Tamil movie.Why did he need to talk about past relationship at this juncture, Trisha reportedly commented. She is not happy with his decision.

There is a talk that she now may reveal why they had broke up to put him in embarrassment. They had dated for long time and he even agreed to marry her but later backed off.

Families of Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan celebrated Christmas this year along with their common friends. The speciality of this celebrations is the makeover of Superstar. Prince transformed himself into Santa Claus to thrill everyone. Particularly, Photograph of Mahesh in the santa claus avatar with Sitara is priceless.

‘Thackeray’ is one of the most-awaited biopics scheduled to release in 2019. Nawazuddin Siddiqui breathed life into the role of Bal Thackeray to an extent that no other actor could be imagined as Shiva Sena Patriarch.

Trailer covers the journey of Bal Thackeray from an illustrator to one of the most powerful political leaders of Maharashtra. Promo opens with Communal Riots in Mumbai in the 90s. And what follows is a voice-over: ‘Iss Waqt Bombay Ko Ek Hi Aadmi Shaant Kar Sakta Hai’.

Finally, The introduction of Bal Thackeray who founded Shiv Sena in 1966 to fight for the rights of Marathis happens. Shiv Sena’s Ideology, Thackeray’s power in Maharashtra, Court Trail after Babri Masjid demolition and Top Priority given to Maratha Culture in the art & entertainment sector has been shown. Conversations of Bal Thackeray with PM Indira Gandhi and Cricket Board Members are the high points in the trailer.

Bal Thackeray passed away in November 2012 at the age of 86. This biopic is going to be a fitting tribute to the fearless Leader!

Krishna district politics in Andhra Pradesh are heating up like never before. YSR Congress senior leader Vangaveeti Radha is the prime person for it as he is expected to make a key announcement on his political future on Wednesday.

Three decades after the death of Vangaveeti Ranga, a memorial is being established at his native village in Kaaturu spread across 30 acres. Fans of Ranga from the Telugu states were invited for this anniversary event and a large gathering is expected.

From this very venue, Vangaveeti Radha is going to decide from where to contest in the upcoming elections. Radha had contested from Vijayawada – Central and East constituencies in the past. In 2009 and 2014, he lost the polls and this time, Radha has took the elections quite prestigious and once again he wants to contest from Vijayawada central constituency.

But YS Jagan has allotted this seat to Malladi Vishnu and advised Radha to pick Vijayawada or Machilipatnam Lok Sabha. Not convinced with Jagan’s proposal, Radha is adamant for Vijayawada central seat. In case if he doesn’t get YSRCP ticket, he is in thoughts to quit the party and is also in talks with multiple parties in the state.

Radha might prefer Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party in all likely. Vangaveeti supporters and followers are eagerly waiting for Radha’s announcement.

What it would be, the wait ends today evening.

After enthralling us as Devasena in Baahubali series, seriously Anushka garnered new fame but never cashed on that. But in 2018, her surprising performance came in the form of Bhaagamathie which gave big relief to Telugu box office during the start of the year.

With Anushka herself feeling indifferent for the kind of physique she has put on and for the kind of looks she was known for, the actress went to Europe for a special weight reduction treatment at a popular spa resort. Ever since this news was out, everyone is actually waiting to get a glimpse of Anushka’s new avatar.

For that to happen, firstly Anushka should come out for a function or grace a film event to showcase her new looks to the media folks. Or she should take to social media to post her latest picture such that fans will gorge on her beauty. So when is Anushka coming out?

On the other hand she has agreed to star in a movie being produced by Kona Venkat and is also in discussion with couple of other filmmakers too.
