The big day of ‘RRR’ movie shoot got underway on Monday with director Rajamouli sharing a picture of him with Young Tiger Jr NTR and Mega powerstar Ram Charan.

But after few hours of the shoot, it’s Tarak who shared one more picture in his official Instagram handle. This photo caught everyone’s attention as it had the foots of the trio ‘R.’ Going by Rajamouli’s picture, one can guess, the director’s feet while Tarak’s can also be guessed and he is seen in wearing ‘Kirru Chappal.’ Lastly, the left over with leather shoe belongs to Ram Charan.

Taking cue of Tarak’s footwear, we can expect to see him in a traditional look and this sounds exciting to all Young Tiger fans but the character suspense continues as long as Rajamouli’s wish. Well then, they can keep teasing their fans and be in the minds as long as the film takes to wrap up its shoot and get a theatrical release.

After winning the #BigBoss2 crown, many thought that Kaushal Manda will create a mark for himself in the film industry, but he is yet to encash on the popularity. That said, the TV actor cum model is not sitting silently.

All these days, Kaushal is touring various towns and cities, meeting his Kaushal Army and celebrating with them. While he is doing some brand endorsements and stuff in the middle, he is said to be doing nothing when it comes to films. There is a surprising update over this.

Kaushal is now looking forward to taking his Kaushal Army Foundation to next level as he wants to do more of charity work. And then, this particular foundation will also be producing films in the coming days, and the revenues will be again used for charity work only.

On the other hand, Kaushal is getting some scripts ready where he will be acting as a hero and his wife Neelima will act as the producer. So he is like the Vijay Antony of Tollywood right now. Let’s wish his plans work out big time.

Supreme hero Sai Dharam Tej’s new film titled ‘Chitralahari’ has official begun on Monday. The film’s shooting has commenced in a bar with the lead cast taking part.

‘Hello’ beauty Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nivetha Pethuraj are playing the female lead roles while Kishore Tirumala is wielding the megaphone for this fun entertainer.

Hero Sai Dharam Tej is going to sport a new look in this film and in the first picture shared by the makers, reveals that he is seen with beard.

‘Rockstar’ Devi Sri Prasad is roped in to score tunes and this is his first film with the supreme hero.

Being produced by Mythri Movie Makers, ‘Chitralahari’ is expected to make way before the box office in April 2019.

With “Taxiwala” doing well even on Monday morning, we could easily say that hero Vijay Devarakonda has proved his talent once again. With a good story and right dynamic in place, he could carry the characters he plays to next level and entertains audiences big time.

Perhaps that is the reason many are now saying that he has mixed the right ‘Pasta’. You might be thinking what this pasta is, for the uninitiated, Vijay has actually come up with a creative video earlier to explain what it feels like to watch a three-hour leaked piracy film.

In that video, he explained that piracy print is like eating raw vegetables and pasta, while the final product in theatre is like it will have all ingredients, cooked, coloured, flavoured and seasoned with herbs before being kept on the table in a presentable way. Cut to Taxiwala, the presentation has worked out with Pasta getting right flavor, taste and smell. No doubt, Vijay is likely to emerge as a top chef in the tinsel town if he continues to deliver these eatable tasty plates of pasta, rather sour dishes like NOTA.

On the downside, the challenge is, this chef needs to deliver not just pasta but also other dishes if he has to keep up with his versatility. Few chefs like Varun Sandesh, Uday Kiran and Tarun faded away after initial glory due to lack of variation and new presentation.

One of the talented actresses in Tollywood at the moment is Tamil beauty Sai Pallavi who has shot to fame with a Malayali blockbuster and entered in Telugu with another blockbuster. This lady is, however, an epicenter of controversies for reasons unknown.

Though no other hero complained on Sai Pallavi like the way Naga Shourya vented fumes, somehow her professional approach is worrying Telugu folks. Actually, she has given bulk dates for Sharwanand’s Padi Padi Lechenu Manasu and her work is quite impressive for the hero and director Hanu Raghavapudi as well. But after finishing the edit, the unit wanted to reshoot a few scenes.

While the reshoots are on, the actress has given a couple of more dates but the director is said to be asking for some more dates now. As this demand is not coming down, Sai Pallavi is said to have started demanding extra remuneration for all the reshoot dates she is going to allot.

As the film is set for December 21st release, the makers have no option than to bend to Sai Pallavi’s demands. Cinema experts however feel, why would any actor/actress give extra dates for free?

Hero Sharwanand turned spiritual and religious these days. It is said that he performed a ‘Maha Padi’ Pooja at Film Nagar temple in grand manner and also hosted ‘Annadaanam’ at the temple premises.

In the recent times, Sharwanand was seen wearing a ‘mala’ and is heard that he has been wearing it for about 42 days. As per the Pooja customs, he wore black clothes, slept on the floor and refrained himself from wearing footwear.

With a lot of devotion, Sharwanand did this and despite having shoots, he maintained the balance.

That’s quite strange as we hardly hear about young heroes and their devotional side. But Sharwa makes a statement he is like any other person having faith in god and being religious.

Compared to ‘NOTA’, Vijay Deverakonda’s new release “Taxiwaala” has performed better at USA box-office.

Taking into the account that the film’s piracy print is available on torrents for USA audiences, its performance at ticket window is good.

“Taxiwaala” that released last weekend with least expectations took about 400k opening in its first two days. It premiered on Friday.

Fri (premiere): $115,944 Sat: $192,802 Sun: $100k (apprx) Total Weekend Gross: $410k (apprx)

The film will cross half million dollars in couple of days. Vijay Deverakonda’s previous film “NOTA” had just $300k gross in its entire run.

Before that he had massive hit with “Geetha Govindam” that raked in $2.5 million.

Mega Hero Varun Tej is going through a good phase, as he scored back-to-back hits at the box-office with ‘Fidaa’ & ‘Tholiprema’.

Currently, Varun is shooting for his forthcoming film ‘F2-Fun & Frustration’ along with Victory Venkatesh under the direction of Anil Ravipudi and his movie ‘Anthariksham’ is scheduled to hit the screens on December 21, 2018.

Varun signed an action entertainer and the actor will be seen as a Boxer in this film. Geetha Arts will be bankrolling this project along with a new production company.

Kiran Korrapati is making his directorial debut with the untitled film and more details about the cast & crew will be announced very soon.

The shooting part of this movie will start in January 2019.

Massive multi-starrer ‘RRR’ being directed by top director S S Rajamouli with reported budget of Rs 300 Cr began its regular shoot on Monday morning.

The mega movie is now being canned at large sets erected in Kondapur in Hyderabad.

“RRR starts rolling today,#RRRShootBegins,” Rajamouli tweeted sharing a pic with the lead stars NTR and Ram Charan from the location.

NTR and Ram Charan who had earlier acted in Rajamouli’s movies are acting together for the first time. They are screening space as youngsters who pitted against each other.

Rajamouli is back to the sets after a gap of two years. He wrapped up the entire shoot of “Baahubali 2” in 2016 December.

NTR underwent physical training for this role while Ram Charan has gone for hairstyle.

DVV Danayya is producing this film that is being referred as “RRR”. Speculations are rife that “RRR” stands for “Rama Ravana Rajyam”.

Allu Arjun threw a lavish private party for the team Taxiwala in B-Dubs pub for the huge hit and he congratulated the team.

He invited all the young directors and other new talents for the party. He always supports movies with good content.

Previously he threw such kinds of parties for teams of “#PelliChupulu” and “Mahanati” for their success.

Recently, Parasuram’s directorial super hit “Geetha Govindam” team was invited by Allu Arjun.

“Taxiwala” and “Geetha Govindam” both were the products of GA-2 and both movies scored a huge hit at the box-office.

Producer of “Taxiwaala” SKN was a personal PRO of Allu Arjun and ‘Bunny Vasu’ who produced Geetha Govindam is a close friend of Allu Arjun.

Bunny was much happy with SKN scoring big success as solo producer, Irrespective of the production houses or the producers he encourages new talents in the Industry.

Thugs of Hindostan, without an ounce of doubt, has turned out to be one of the biggest box-office disasters that the Hindi film industry has seen in the past one decade.

The epic action-adventure, starring Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles, has collected a little over Rs 143 crore in its 10-day run at the box-office, a performance clearly not at par with expectations the trade pundits had from the film.

While Thugs of Hindostan turned out to be a disappointment of mammoth proportions for the audience, the producers as well as the exhibitors have incurred heavy losses on the film, reports Bollywood Hungama.

The web portal claims that it is only the sub-distributors of Yash Raj Films, who distributed the film on a commission basis, are at profit.

Since the sub-distributors distributed the film on a Minimum Guarantee Deal, they pocketed a major chunk of the profit. In such a scenario, it was the exhibitors who were at a great loss.

The report claims that they have lost out on over 50 per cent of their investments. The trade sources have confirmed that losses faced by exhibitors are higher than they did on Tubelight.

Their last and only hope is now the China where the film will be released next month.

These days many big production houses are starting their own Visual Effects companies. While the likes of Makuta and Prime Focus in Hyderabad are purely talent-driven, others are started only to serve their producers. And there is a reason behind this.

Every producer feels that they are spending a vast amount of money on visual effects. Say a producer pays 10 crores to VFX studios, he feels that starting his own studio and employing some VFX artists will cost him only 3 crores for the whole job. Earlier Suresh Babu and his son Rana started a VFX company named Spirit with same thought process in mind, and they have bitten the dust with that business. Producer Dil Raju also invested in a VFX company and the result is same.

And now, a big producer’s son who is sitting idle at home has started a similar company, which is responsible for the graphics work of a recent release. Many wonders why this man ventured into VFX though he knows nothing of it. They say that the big family wants to save all their money by doing CG Graphics stuff themselves at their own company.

If the likes of Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay thought in the same way, imagine the number of VFX companies they should have started. Pch!!

Since the minute they have announced that they are in love, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have garnered the enough limelight. Recently, Priyanka has revealed that she is suffering from Asthama since she was a five year old kid. Her fans and film fraternity and poured in their support to the actor. Now the latest news is that her fiancé, and international singer Nick Jonas is suffering from Type 1 diabetes since his childhood.

He took to Instagram to share the news and has posted his childhood picture and here is what he wrote.

“13 years ago today I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The picture on the left is me a few weeks after my diagnosis. Barely 100 pounds after having lost so much weight from my blood sugar being so high before going to the doctor where I would find out I was diabetic. On the right is me now.

Happy and healthy. Prioritizing my physical health, working out and eating healthy and keeping my blood sugar in check. I have full control of my day to day life with this disease, and I’m so grateful to my family and loved ones who have helped me every step of the way. Never let anything hold you back from living your best life. Thank you to all my fans for your kind words and support. Means more than you know. Love you all.”

He also wrote about he always prioritized his physical health, working out, eating healthy and keeping his blood sugar in check.

Often show hosts at various film events will be facing some tough questions from the producers and organizers, regarding their appearance. There are times where some senior heroes asked few heroines to go back to their star hotels, change dress and come back.

Back then, they used to ask heroines to change their dress as their present one is looking quite hotter. But now, this particular anchor who has recently shot to fame with a TV program has faced the reverse of it. She was asked to put more of her skin on display and make the program look spicier.

Known for her satirical talks and beautiful smile, this anchor was asked to shine in some revealing dresses other day. Though that low-neck back of her figure hugging dress made her look spicy, the organizer has demanded more. “I’m a married woman here and I don’t have a curvaceous body. What more hotness you want from me? This is the maximum I could do” she said, clarifying that either she will walk out or she will continue with that attire.

With no other option left, the organizers wrapped the event successfully but vowed not to rope her again for future events.
