Few actresses keep it as a must to release Semi-nude or Nude photos and create a sensation. This is even the current trend to keep them in the spotlight. Brits Beauty Amy Jackson does this quite often. Recently, Ileana D’Cruz too does the same.

Now a young actress follows the same. This is none other than ‘Rangam’, ‘Goa’ fame Pia. In recent times, she started to give priority to glamour roles. Now, she expects the release of her Bollywood movie ‘Mirza Juliet’ and the movie is gearing up for a release.

The Publicity and Promotions are done extensively and in this case, Pia has given pose with an unbuttoned shirt exposing her breasts. Even the makers don’t know whether this Photo shoot was done for the movie or she does it for self-publicity. Whatever, the image is going viral all over. Take a look at it below

This is the duo that delivered films like Julayi, which got praises for its intelligent premise and S/o Satyamurhty that won the appreciation of audiences for the kind of ethics it has taught. And then, the duo is in the news from sometime regarding their next.

In fact, the buzz has that Allu Arjun and Trivikram are going to remake the Bollywood film Sonu Ke Tweetu Ki Sweety which became a runaway hit at the box office. However, the duo failed to come to a single conclusion on this film and finally made a decision about it.

Reports are coming that they will not be contemplating the idea of remaking that Bollywood hit. By the end of December, Trivikram will be narrating a new story to Allu Arjun and the two will proceed to shoot in January. Already the wizard of words has penned a basic line for the same, and he will be presenting the final version soon.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun will be working out on other stories with some writers and directors, such that he will start another film simultaneously alongside Trivikram’s movie.

In this age of digital cinema, making a film is quite easy and impressive audiences became the toughest part. On that note, we have to say that there are too many heroes emerging now and if one has to prove like a Vijay Devarkonda it takes so much effort.

Despite coming from cinema background, only a few heroes are able to score points here and few are still working hard to impress people. We cannot say that Naga Chaitanya is one such struggling star, but his box office potential graph is not going well these days. And then, his brother Akhil needs to prove both as an actor and also his capabilities to ring registers.

Currently, both are doing films with directors who have delivered noticeable hits with their debut films. And as they are coming up with Majili and Majnu, other Nagarjuna is said to have called Chay on the eve of his birthday and said to have turned bit emotional. He is said to have advised Chay to be careful while choosing scripts. Probably the result of Savyasachi would have made Nag respond that way.

At the same time, Nag is said to have told the same things to Akhil as well at home, as the youngster is quite confused with the output of Majnu and asking for many reshoots. Let’s hope the Akkineni brothers will be careful with their stories from now on.

From sometime, hero Sandeep Kishan is struggling to score a hit. Years ago he bounced back with Venkatadri Express, but then his career is going down the slop again. And then, he has some interesting films in the kitty.

While his latest movie “Next Enti”, directed by Fanaa fame Kunal Kohli, is getting ready for release, he has some interesting films in the pipeline including Ninu Veedani Needanu Nene. And then, there is this film of him coming under G Nageswara Reddy’s direction, which became talking point now.

Reports are coming that writer-director Rajasimha who has earlier made Okka Ammayi Thappa with Sandeep Kishan has given a terrific story to him again. Inside this film, Sandeep will be appearing as a mute (dumb) boy with another hero giving voice over for his role. In the whole film, he will not be talking even once, says a source. And this film will be directed by G Nageswar Reddy with Hansika as the leading lady.

After Rangasthalam, where Charan played the role of a deaf person, many heroes are looking to pick up roles that have some sort of disorder or health issue. Hope all these heroes will ring bells at the box office.

Taxiwaala will have another strong weekend at the box office with new releases failing to go off the mark.24 Kisses despite its titillating content and steamy promos couldn’t get a decent start at the ticket windows. The film has been receiving dismal reports from all corners and is likely to end up as a big failure.

Other films like Rangu, Law and Sharabha also have no takers as none of these films have enough attractions to pull audience to the theaters.Taxiwaala that opened on a solid note last weekend will continue to dominate the box office till 2.0 arrives. The makers have made handsome profits on this low budget thriller.

Amar Akbar Anthony ended up as one of the biggest flops of the year. It has become bigger flop than Raviteja’s last two disasters Nela Ticket and Touch Chesi Chudu.Shankar-Rajinikanth’s mega budget sci-fi adventure will take over the box office from Thursday.

Mass Maharaja Raviteja’s market value is shrinking with each film.Amar Akbar Anthony’s disastrous performance at the box office has sent shockwaves across the industry and producers that are doing movies with the actor.

Raviteja is not a Rs. 25 crore star anymore. Although Raja The Great performed well at the box office, his flop films are leaving producers and buyers in a financial mess.Raviteja’s hit films may collect more than Rs. 20 crore, but what if the film flops?

There is clear evidence for it in the form of hat-trick disasters that Mass Maharaja delivered this year. Therefore, producers are not willing to spend more than his current market rate.In fact, Amar Akbar Anthony was made within a decent budget, but it turned out to be a monstrous flop that nobody could recover their investment.

The triple disasters effect has reportedly resulted in a budget cut for Raviteja’s upcoming science fiction thriller with director VI Anand.The Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada director has to reassess the cost of production and submit a new report to the producer to take it forward. There will be a huge cut in Raviteja’s paycheck too.

New Delhi: Hero meets heroine, hero saves heroine from villain, hero wins the game. Remember this phase of Bollywood? When the climax in films was all about good winning over evil? But with new age cinema making waves at the box office, the endings have moved away from cliched expectations to “intricate and complex” ones.

Recent box office successes like “Stree” and “Andhadhun” prove that movie-goers no longer need a perfect ending to make a film a hit or a flop. After all, both the films had a climax that made audiences think, and perhaps hint at a sequel in the pipeline.

Spooky comedy “Stree” — which starred Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor and earned over Rs 100 crore at the box office — had started some humorous conversations on social media for its confusing climax which showed how the actor defeats the witch and cuts her hair off, depriving her of her powers.

However, during a bus ride, Shraddha pulls out her pigtail (chopped-off hair), attaches it back on — as the closing credits start rolling.

Talking about the how such films with an “open ending” are being appreciated in Bollywood, Rajkummar told IANS: “I think it’s a great way to keep audiences engaged. The biggest example is ‘Baahubali’. The question doing the rounds on social media was ‘Kattappa ne Baahubali ko kyu mara?’. I think it’s a great way to keep the audience hooked and that’s what you want.

“With ‘Stree’ also, people were so curious about the end. It’s a way we know that people will wait for the sequel to come out.”

“Stree” producer Dinesh Vijan has already confirmed to the media that the Amar Kaushik directorial will have a sequel.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s “Andhadhun” opened to positive reviews despite not being a mainstream Bollywood film. The thriller, also starring Radhika Apte and Tabu and directed by Sriram Raghavan, made things intriguing with its climax, which showed an apparently blind Akash knocking a can out of his way with his cane.

For Radhika, who played the love interest of Ayushmann in the movie, “every film, performance or every piece of art is meant for you to have your interpretation”.

Actress Kalki Kocehlin, who played a key role in the 2015 film “Waiting” — a film which also ended with her on-screen character and actor Naseeruddin Shah’s character ending up waiting, leaving much to the imagination of viewer — said such storylines are a choice that a writer makes.

“Open-ended stories are one form. It’s a choice that a writer makes. It is valid. It allows for imagination just like audiobooks — voice influences the way you listen to it, but it opens up a lot of imagination compared to the visual,” Kalki told IANS during the launch of Audible.in in India where she narrated the audio adaptation of Hussain Zaidi’s novel, “Mafia Queens of Mumbai”.

In the past, films like “The Lunchbox”, “Piku” and “Badlapur” too had stories that made you think.

Why are such films are doing well at the box office?

Film trade analyst Girish Johar told IANS: “With the advent of multiplexes and social media, consumers nowadays are a little more proactive and more involved in discussions at various levels. That makes their mindset open.”

He said there are three reasons filmmakers have open endings.

“First, they want the audiences to be a little more engaged and involved in the product. Secondly, the makers want them to take home whatever they want to, since it’s an open end; and, lastly, if the film does well at the box office, it also gives makers a chance to launch a franchise or sequel or take the story forward.

“It’s a win-win kind of thing and a creative call. It’s a deliberate decision of certain smart and intelligent filmmakers and it has done well.”

Trade analyst Komal Nahta agrees that the acceptance of such films has increased over the years.

“That’s because the audience has evolved. There is a section of the audience — known in the film industry as ‘class audience’ — which doesn’t want the ending to be spelt out as they prefer to form their own judgment. But then, there’s also a large chunk of audience which still wants everything explained in great detail. Open endings are not for them,” Nahta told IANS.

For the traditionalists, films like “Dangal”, “Dabangg” and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai” are working well.

“Heroism does win in the end and the audience wants that. You can’t break away from that DNA, but it depends from film to film. If you see last 10 or 20 years, ‘desi’ stories have connected well,” Johar said.

The much-awaited Mahesh Babu starrer Maharshi in the direction of Vamsi Paidipalli is scheduled for a summer release.Three big producers have joined hands for this project. But the worrying actor is the film seems to be going well over the planned budget because of lavish overseas schedules and huge number of working days.

Even with a single producer, keeping a check over finances is difficult and in most cases, the producer is nothing but a glorified cashier. This film has three producers and who will call the shots? Who can exercise absolute authority?Besides, Vamsi Paidipalli has a reputation for throwing caution to the winds if unchecked.

Producer PVP said that Oopiri had a great run at the box-office but didn’t break even as the film went way beyond budget. It was a classic case of ‘Operation success but patient dead’.Maharshi would do well to avoid going down that route.
