One of those gorgeous looking actresses down south who could mould herself into any character and attire is none other than Samantha Akkineni. She could easily become that hot urbane girl and push herself into a village belle character. Then she plays middle-class half saree girl with ease.

For her upcoming film, which features her husband Naga Chaitanya in the lead role, Samantha is slipping into another middle class girl’s role. Wearing that simple Punjabi dress made from an ordinary chiffon cloth, Samantha is looking pretty impressive.

While talking about some app, through a video she shared from the shooting spot of the film, Samantha actually revealed this look. It looks like director Siva Nirvana who has made a middle-class love story into “Ninnu Kori” movie is now making another such film.

On the other hand, Samantha will soon start shooting for the remake of a Korean film under Nandini Reddy’s direction, where she will be seen as a 60-year-old lady.

Ram Charan frequently indulges in ‘dummas’ to his shoots. Like a school kid, he regularly takes leaves without informing the makers in advance. Well, at least that is the buzz in Film Nagar.This has resulted in Boyapati extending the shoot of his current movie with Ram Charan. The original plan was to wrap up the movie by end of October so that Ram Charan could move on to Rajamouli’s film’s preparatory work.

Rajamouli will be making his next with NTR Jr and Ram Charan and NTR has already begun building body for the role with the help of Lloyd Stevens. Where as Ram Charan is still stuck in Boyapati’s shoot.Boyapati and Ram Charan’s film still has plenty of work to be completed. Sources say, the team is planning to shoot for another 30 working days.

Even the film’s promotion has not begun yet. No first look has been released nor title has been announced officially. The action drama is scheduled for Sankranthi 2019 release.

So, Ram Charan might join Rajamouli’s movie after January.

Savyasachi has already garnered attention with its intriguing teaser. Director Chandoo Mondeti has explored ‘Vanishing Twin Syndrome’ concept and made an actioner out of it.Teaser revealed the basic theme of the film and the trailer is an extension to it.The trailer for Savyasachi gives more insight into the character of Vikram-Aditya played by Naga Chaitanya.

There’s nothing he cannot do as his left hand is more powerful than anybody could imagine. He has no control over it and his power is challenged by the baddie played by Maddy.Madhavan looks stylish yet menacing as the main villain of Savyasachi. The trailer is action packed with Chaitanya flexing his muscles like never before.

Savyasachi looks like a right mix of variety and commercial elements that appeal to contemporary as well as the mass audience.Chay has tried his hand at action sometimes before, but with little success. He seems to be in the right hands now.

Bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers, Savyasachi is gearing up for release on Nov 2.

Ravi Teja doesn’t command the same craze that he used to have a couple of years ago. Despite delivering a hit with “Raja The Great”, distributors have lost confidence in his movies.

Two of his subsequent movies “Nela Ticket” and “Touch Chesi Chudu” bit the dust and distributors have burnt their pockets deeply. That is the reason why his upcoming “Amar Akbar Anthony’s” release date hasn’t been confirmed.

The film was to release on October 5th, but it got postponed as “NOTA” and “Aravindha Sametha” had locked dates in the first half of October.Later the producers thought of releasing on November 16, but Vijay Deverakonda’s “Taxiwaala” is releasing on the same date.

On November 29th, superstar Rajinikanth’s “2.0” will be hitting the screens. So, Ravi Teja has no release window for his movie in the month of November.If Ravi Teja had really wanted, getting a date for his movie would not have been an issue. Not only that Ravi Teja is down with flops, his director Sreenu Vaitla also is going through a bad phase.

So, the producers and distributors are looking for “safe dates” for the release. They would rather wait to choose a right date, than clash with other biggies.

Bhavya Anand Prasad had produced the the film Paisa Vasool starring Nandamuri Balakrishna and like the majority of producers who are making films with Balayya in recent times, lost money on the project.However, he still can consider himself lucky to have made that film. Why?

Because, Anand Prasad has reportedly been confirmed as the TDP MLA candidate from Serilingampally.There is a lot of competition in that constituency and Anand Prasad thanks to the support of Balayya managed to bag the ticket.

But fearing that dissenters would claim that Anand Prasad has appeared out of the blue and bagged the ticket, a WhatsApp campaign has been launched by his supporters.An impression is being created that Anand Prasad has been in the Party for a long time and photographs of Balayya and the producer are doing the rounds.

Whatever be the reasons, it is definitely Paisa Vasool for Anand Prasad.

With the announcement of Ram Gopal Varma, there are new rumours that mushroomed in Film Nagar, with the sole intention of slinging mud on Balayya’s #NTR biopic. But the truth is far from what anyone could guess.

Apparently, a promotion has started where they are saying, #NTR Mahanayakudu and Kathanayakudu will only have a positive angle of NT Rama Rao, while Varma’s Lakshmi’s NTR will be their sequel that shows the legend’s downfall. And they added that the two films being brought up by Balayya won’t have Lakshmi Paravathi role.

A birdie from the sets of #NTR Biopic being carved by Krish and Balayya tells us that there is no truth in this rumour. Because, the makers have already roped in a former heroine, actress Aamani to play the role of Lakshmi Parvathi in their movie. Especially that scene where she wrote poetry on NTR and flattered him will give goosebumps, the source said.

Frankly speaking, biopics are usually made to impress coming generations but not to spread negativity. So whether there is Lakshmi Parvathi’s character is there or not, it is unethical to spread such gossips, isn’t it?

There are some heroes who always rise on the occasion and deliver. One such star is this guy who never cares about what others think about him. Despite many unwanted talks that always revolve around him, he stays grounded and lives in reality.

From the last couple of years, this hero is in deep debts as he lost chunks of money due to some bad investments. But still, that doesn’t stop him from responding during the need of the hour. For the victims of #CycloneTitli, he stood like a rock and delivered the needful by doing charity.

Sources close to him revealed that he took that money as a loan for one rupee interest from a noted director-producer. And he has donated all that money for the welfare of Titli victims. That is surely a golden heart, but some there is a political angle to it.

Our Telugu saying says ‘Aapatra Danam Cheyyakoodadu’, which means, one should not donate more than they can afford. But this hero’s risk-taking looks like he wants something in return. What is that? Only time will reveal.

“Shades Of Saaho” has created a terrific impact on audiences and that’s where trade circles are worrying now. With the kind of hype that engulfed this Prabhas starrer, one wonders if the hunk hero will trouble everyone in Summer.

At a time when “Baahubali” is hitting cinemas, even Mahesh Babu has postponed the release of “Srimanthudu” to make sure that one film will not eat into the revenues of others. And that paid off. But the biggest problem back then was, the makers of Baahubali shifted their dates multiple times, leaving small films in a distress.

There are some films that promoted extensively for two weeks by spending around 30-50 lakhs and then backed off from release as “Baahubali” makers announced a date. Later Baahubai got postponed, leaving small filmmakers with losses, both monetarily (promotion money) and date-wise.

Cut to Saaho, we’re hearing that this film will not trouble anyone until mid-2019. With 60% of the film wrapped, the movie needs more than 5-7 months to complete the rest. That leaves Summer completely ‘Saaho Free’ and all others could come as per their convenience

Rakul Preet Singh, who was on top in Telugu film industry until recent past, is not busy in TFI anymore.Besides playing a cameo as Sridevi in biopic of NTR, Rakul has no Telugu films on hand at the moment. However, she is on the rise in Tamil cinema industry with three crazy films line up.

She is one of the female leads in Suriya’s upcoming NGK and will be seen romancing Karthi again in his next.
She is also playing the female lead in Siva Kartikeyan’s upcoming movie. She has De De Pyaar De with Ajay Devgn in which she is a part of a stellar cast.

Rakul is looking damn gorgeous in her fittest look yet. The slender and sexy figure is always a treat to watch and Rakul compliments it with a bewitching smile.

Hebbah Patel has no craze now. The actress who shot to fame with “Kumari 21F” has lost popularity due series of flops.Also her affair with a hero ruined her career. She broke up with him and is now trying to bounce back.

Her new film that is ready for release is Ayodhya Kumar directed “24 Kisses”, a film about a young couple who go through various phases in their relationship.The film which was supposed to release this Friday has now been postponed to November 15th.

So, Hebbah Patel will directly be competing with rising superstar Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming release ‘Taxiwaala’, that is slated for release on November 16.Vijay Deverakonda who released “Geetha Govindam” and “NOTA” this year has announced the release date for “Taxiwaala” as November 16.

Although “Taxiwaala” hasn’t generated enough buzz, it will definitely take good openings. Focus will surely be on his movie than Hebbah’s “24 Kisses”.Will Hebbah’s movie get enough screens when Deverakonda’s movie is releasing?

Gone are the days where actors used to do hundreds of movies. Completing 50 films would be a great achievement for contemporary stars.

So reaching the twenty fifth movie mark is one of the biggest milestones for any actor now. However, this landmark is turning out to be a disastrous one for many actors.Pawan Kalyan’s twenty fifth film Agnyathavaasi ended up as one of the historical disasters in Telugu cinema.

Pawan’s diehard fan Nithin also recently reached twenty five films milestone with Chal Mohan Ranga. He followed the suit with a forgettable flop.Recent actor to complete twenty five films is Vishal. Pandem Kodi 2 is Vishal’s silver jubilee film, which failed to live up to the hype.

NTR’s twenty fifth film Nannaku Prematho is an exception. Although it flopped in Telugu states, it has done well in USA giving it average status on the whole. Mahesh’s Maharshi is his twenty fifth movie.

Will this break the jinx and record a blockbuster success?
