Vijay Deverakonda has proved his worth as a crowd puller with movies like Arjun Reddy and Geetha Govindam.If bold content and youthful elements helped Arjun Reddy to become a cult film, youthful elements and wholesome entertainment ensured blockbuster success for Geetha Govindam.

Content that appeals to youth has been a common feature in Vijay’s successful films till now. But his NOTA that is releasing on this Friday doesn’t have anything that grabs the attention of youth.There is no shock factor like Arjun Reddy or Inkem Inkem Kavaley like chartbuster number in NOTA. It is a bilingual that is predominantly made in Tamil and dubbed into Telugu.

It is a serious political drama sans entertaining elements like Geetha Govindam. It neither appeals to regular youth or family audience.NOTA is solely depending upon a strong script and Vijay Deverakonda’s skills as an actor. Trade is keenly waiting for the public response to this political drama.

Producer Gnanavel Raja hasn’t sold the theatrical rights anywhere except overseas. Considering its limited appeal NOTA’s theatrical rights are valued at Rs. 25 crore excluding overseas market.Can Vijay Deverakonda make it a box office success by crossing Rs. 25 crore share mark with both the versions?This is like true test for Vijay’s caliber as a crowd puller as NOTA has no attractions apart from him.

Actress Ileana D’cruz has replaced comedian-actor Kapil Sharma in the top list of the “most sensational celebrity” in Indian cyberspace.According to the twelfth edition of McAfee Most Sensational Celebrity survey, the 30-year-old actress’ name has been used by hackers to lure netizens to visit malicious websites.

Ileana is followed by actors Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta, Tabu, Kriti Sanon, Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Govinda in the list.

“In today’s era, the entertainment industry and celebrities are bigger than ever before. Loyal fans feel the dire need to stay updated on industry news and gossip at all times. Ease of access through a range of connected devices has made it increasingly feasible for followers to avail instant news and information on their favourite stars,” Venkat Krishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering and Managing Director, McAfee said in a statement.

He also explained how fans and followers of celebrities are falling under the trap of cyber crooks.

“While fans religiously track their icons, online security is often compromised over speed and convenience. Cyber criminals leverage this opportunity to lure unsuspicious users by directing them to malicious links that could be used to infect devices or steal identities.

“As a precaution, consumers need to think before they click and avoid suspicious links that promise free content featuring favourite celebrities, movies, TV shows or pictures to protect themselves from cyber fraud.”

Sunil’s last stint as lead man failed with Silly Fellows flopping at box office. Although Sunil didn’t play the lead character in it, his role has equal screen presence as its lead man Allari Naresh.Despite Sunil’s flashes of brilliance with his vintage comedy, Silly Fellows failed to click.

Sunil is now back to doing comedy characters and he cannot ask for a better re-launch than a Trivikram-Tarak film.Sunil will be seen as Tarak’s sidekick in Aravindha Sametha. His character is said to be the only comic relief in this serious action drama.Trivikram was instrumental in Sunil’s success as comedian. The ace writer has penned some memorable characters for his friend and made him a superstar comedy actor.

However, Sunil didn’t play lead role in any of Trivikram’s movies. Trivikram roped in Sunil for Aravindha Sametha after the latter decided to give up on lead roles.It is a big test for Sunil as he was not seen as comedian in the last decade. He needs to make a strong impact in Aravindha Sametha for Telugu filmmakers to pen special characters for him.With comedians like Vennela Kishore ruling the roost, Sunil should make his reentry count with a roaring performance.

His choice of movies have also helped him.
