The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) has issued a Red Card for popular comedian Vadivelu. This is in connection with the controversy erupted over Vadivelu’s ongoing film ‘Himsinche 24va Pulikesi’ movie where the film’s producers have moved the Tamil Film Producers Council against Vadivelu for walking out of the film in the middle.

Going into details, the makers are making a sequel to Vadivelu’s erstwhile film ’23va Raju Pulikesi’. After shooting for a while, Vadivelu walked out of the project due to the differences. Apparently, Vadivelu hadn’t cooperated for the shoot right from the inception and allegedly created a lot of difficulties to the producers.

Interim, even the TFPC had intervened and convinced both the parties then. However, later, Vadivelu had walked out abruptly. With this, the film’s makers have incurred a loss of Rs 9 Crore. The TFCC had asked Vadivelu to pay the loss.

As Vadivelu is not willing to pay the loss of Rs 9 Crore, the TFPC has issued the Red Card. As per it, no producers should approach Vadivelu. The council has given strict orders to the producers to not approach the popular comedian.

Meanwhile, Vadivelu has also lodged a complaint against director Shankar who is producing the film. He complained that Shankar is trying to tarnish his image and defaming him.

Here is an exclusive update about the upcoming magnum opus Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.Currently a war scene is being shot in Georgia on Chiranjeevi and all other principal star cast of the movie.Thousands of junior artists are also working on the epic war episode that is said to be the main highlight of the film.

Nearly twenty five percent of the total budget is being invested on this war scene. A whopping Rs. 50 crore is being spent on the war scene that will be shot for over twenty days.The unit has chosen Georgia as the shooting spot as it is close to the period setup of the film and also because the shooting expenses are less in the country compared to other countries.Thousands of foreigners are needed to film the war scenes, which is also the reason for choosing a foreign location for the shoot.

Footage that requires having extensive VFX work will be done with the completion of this war scene. Sye Raa is eyeing late summer 2018 release as of now.Total filming part will be wrapped up by this December and Chiranjeevi will move on to work for Koratala Siva’s project after finishing Sye Raa.

After throwing challenges and counter-challenges and making allegations of irregularities and even demanding for the Facts Finding Committee against the Sivaji Raja group, finally, both the parties have come to truce.

Sivaji Raja and Naresh have shared the dais alongside the Tollywood bigshots Suresh Babu, Gemini Kiran, Tammareddy Bharadwaj and others. The whole team of MAA and the seniors of the industry ruled out any irregularities in the MAA Silver Jubilee event and gave a clean chit to Sivaji Raja, Srikanth, Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao and others.

Tammareddy stated that it is not uncommon to have differences in an organization, but he said both the groups going to media and publicizing the issue is not correct. The senior filmmaker said from now onwards only the newly appointed Collective Committee would communicate anything to media and any internal issues would be discussed with the Collective Committee which will sort out the issues.

Putting a full-stop to the MAA (Movie Artistes Association) controversy, Naresh said that let’s past be past and asked everyone to move on. He said the difference of opinions had come but he said everyone would like to forget the past and move forward.

He said he would work with Sivaji Raja together and make all the upcoming MAA events successful. Sivaji Raja said small issues had propped up but he said all the information, documents have been provided to the Collective Committee which has found no foul play.

However, many are opining that the MAA corruption scandal has been covered-up by the Tollywood veterans in a hushed manner. “Why did Naresh who accused Shivaji Raja and Srikanth of corruption with ‘facts’ compromise now? And why didn’t neither Shivaji Raja nor Srikanth demand action against Naresh for accusing them in the media now that all charges against them are proven to be false?,” are the doubts everyone’s expressing. Will anyone in the MAA care to explain?

It is already known that the biopic on YSR titled Yatra is all set to hit the screens on Jagan’s birthday in December this year. While Malayalam superstar Mammootty is playing the role of YSR, the surprise edition Vijay Deverakonda as YS Jagan, earned more attention from all corners, thanks to Arjun Reddy and Geetha Govindam.

There were reports that Yatra’s overseas rights have been sold at around Rs 4 Cr, which seems to be a big number at this moment. Though the movie teaser and posters managed to strike some chords, to recover the monstrous sums, the film needs at least 1 million in collections in the USA for breakeven.

We have seen movies that were sold at huge prices left overseas distributors in losses when the movie failed to survive after the first weekend. Looks like Yatra needs a good start and consistent run to break even and for profits. All this happens if Yatra has content that enthralls the audience and also gets a chance to release without tough competition around. Vijay Chilla and Sashi Devireddy are producing the film and Mahi V Raghav is directing it.

Maruthi directed ‘Shailaja Reddy Alludu’ is doing well at box-office despite not so encouraging reviews. The film’s overall range will be decided after the first Monday.Irrespective of this, it is clear that director Maruthi has stuck in a formula that he has created for himself.

By weaving stories based on protagonist or some characters having disorders or diseases, he created a trend.It worked superbly and looked quite fresh when he attempted it in Nani starrer ‘Bhale Bhale Magadivoy’.It looked clichéd in ‘Babu Bangaram’ when Venkatesh played the role of a guy whose weakness is kind-heartedness.

In Sharwanand’s ‘Mahanubhavudu’, the fissures were started showing. With ‘Shailaja Reddy Alludu’, the theme started giving full deja vu.This is why critics gave bad reviews. Now he has to reinvent himself or start thinking fresh manner for new ideas or scripts. Or it would be tough for him to convince heroes for his next movies.

In the next couple of weeks, all the fire and glitter lit by Big Boss Season 2 is coming to a close as the season is going to end. That said, the ball is now set to roll for a mega finale week with many people betting on their favourites already.

While many hope that Kaushal is going to walk away with all the honours, some feel that Tanish would do and others have that Geetha Madhuri will be crowned as the winner. Whoever it may be, a rumour says that Geetha will not be made a crorepati after this show. Wonder why?

Though the prize money is 50 lakhs only, already every contestant is being paid a certain amount of money to stay in the house. An insider revealed us that Geetha is the highest paid among the lot and guess who’s getting the least? It is none other than Kaushal. Big Boss team never expected that this TV serial actor will get such a stupendous response and stay in the race for the crown. As he’s only a TV serials guy, he’s being paid less and the ones close to his pay are TV9 Deepthi and Amit.

Cut to our topic, as Geetha is already paid close to 20,000 thousand per each day in the house, already she made huge money for the 90 odd days she’s there. That’s why Big Boss team is said to be feeling like they will avoid Geetha from getting crowned. Let’s see what happens in case if these rumours are true.

It’s not a good thing to compare film and film, actor and actor and a kiss and kiss. But things are going on haywire on social media discussions for various reasons. Same is the case now with Naga Chaitanya kissing his onscreen co-star Anu Emmanuel now in the film ‘Sailaja Reddy Alludu’.

Apparently, when Rangasthalam got released, there was a huge ruckus on the lip kiss done by Samantha with Ram Charan. Though she revealed later that she only kissed on the side of the cheek but with the camera angle giving us an illusion that she kissed him on lips, many didn’t believe that theory. And some moral police went on giving lectures that a married woman should not kiss that way.

Right now, those fans of Samantha who are hurt with the comments on their superstar, are asking, ‘where are those misogynists who are not asking Chay about his kiss with Anu?’. They feel that if some sort of rule is being applied to the married woman, the same goes for her man too.

At a time when Hollywood scenario is going up with married actors and actresses not even hesitating to go nude on the silver screen, Tollywood is struggling to put up a brave front for a lip kiss. That’s the irony!!

It’s going to be a deeply emotional moment for Nandamuri Kalyan Ram on Monday. The actor is all set to join NTR, a biopic on his legendary grandfather NT Rama Rao, from the 17th of this month.

In NTR, Kalyan Ram will essaying the role of his father Nandamuri Harikrishna. Kalyan Ram is yet to come out of the grief as he lost his dad in a car accident a couple of weeks ago. Kalyan Ram will be shooting for the Chaitanya Ratham episodes with his uncle Balakrishna.

We have exclusively learnt from a source in the know that Kalyan Ram had allotted 25-day callsheets to NTR biopic. On the other hand, Kalyan Ram is wrapping up shooting for the action thriller in cinematographer KV Guhan’s direction.

Akhil is unlucky Chap. This is what many feel as he should be getting the best scripts and the best directors to work with, taken his Akkineni background, looks and Nagarjuna’s extra care. Nothing fantastic is happening in the youngster’s film career. Akhil’s first film went without a trace for multiple reasons and the second film too could not give what he actually needed.

Nagarjuna was worried about Akhil’s career before locking director Venky Atluri for his younger son’s next, by just looking at the director’s Tholi Prema. The hurry in starting #Akhil3 seem to have shown the unwanted results so far. The team started shooting in London to finish the first schedule and now realized that the director did not have a proper script until now.

This has reportedly irked Nagarjuna and the director Venky Atluri is working on script changes to start fresh schedule from November. The whole team is also heard to be unhappy with the first schedule in London. Akhil 3 will take longer than expected to finish with script repairs and wasted shoot.
