Rajamouli’s massive multi-starrer #RRR is already making waves with the India’s number one director teaming up with two of the biggest superstars of Telugu cinema.Despite the tremendous buzz around the film, Rajamouli is not content with the current hype. He is looking to rope in a Bollywood superstar to grab full attention of the North Indian audience too.

Rumor has it that Ajay Devgn might be roped into play a key role in the multi-starrer to get extensive coverage in Bollywood media.Top Bollywood actress is being considered for one of the female lead characters. Although Baahubali didn’t have any Bollywood actors it has become the biggest hit in Bollywood history.

However, Rajamouli is not taking a chance this time and considering big names from Bollywood for additional boost.Shankar roped in Akshay Kumar for 2.0, which is why it is garnering so much attention from the North Indians. Similar strategy will be applied for #RRR also.

The filming of #RRR is currently going on in Hyderabad with Rajamouli canning key scenes on lead actors NTR and Ram Charan.

Remaining star cast will be finalized after completing this schedule.

Hero Sharwanand has achieved a feat with his upcoming movie ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu.’ This film which is going to hit the screens on December 21st, got a decent amount through digital and dubbing.’Padi Padi Leche Manasu’ digital, satellite and Hindi dubbing rights are sold for Rs 12 crore and this is said to be the highest amount for any Sharwanand film till date.

With each film, Sharwa’s market is growing and going with the flow, he is coming up with different films.Amazon Prime Video has bought the digital rights while STAR MAA got the satellite rights.Touted to be a pure love story, the teaser and title song of ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu’ have garnered a fantastic response. A Hanu Raghavapudi directorial, Sharwa is romancing Mallu beauty Sai Pallavi.

Music is being composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar and Sudhakar Cherukuri is the producer.

Let’s talk straight about the result of “Taxiwala” which is reaping benefits at the box office right now. Before the film released, there was negative talk about the movie’s output and suddenly things changed. So what might have happened?

Actually, the leaked piracy version of Taxiwala, which was nearly 3 hours long as per the ones who viewed it, and the content is said to be bit boring. Not just that there is no editing, DI or sound mixing, but still the content is lagging, they said. However, the final output is contrastingly different and quite impressive. So who edited the film to such a pace?

Is it the talent of the editor? Did the director read comments of those who watched piracy version and got it edited in a different way? Is it Vijay Devarkonda’s skill set that helped chalk best output from the scratch? Or did Geetha Arts and gang used their decades of experience to chop the worst and keep the best?

Needless to say, whoever might claim credits, the real appreciation goes to director Rahul Sankrityan for pulling a stupendous feat even when the leaked print got bad reviews. He has a long way to go in Tollywood for sure!!

Rumours are part and parcel of the film industry, but sometimes multiple rumours coming from many dimensions actually give confused accounts. Here are such things about this short-films actress who has acted in a couple of biggies too.

After appearing as Aadi’s lover in Rangasthalam movie, actress Pujitha Ponnada has shot to immense fame. That said, her beautiful looks in many short films on YouTube are already popular for years. Recently a rumour has emerged that she is dating composer Devi Sri Prasad, but there is no evidence for that.

There were some inauthentic reports that Pujitha is already married to Youtube actor Arjun Kalyan, in 2014. People who know her say that it’s a love marriage.

Whatever it may be, she is acting in a couple of films like Where Is Venkatlakshmi and others, and expecting to score big in the film industry. Hope rumours will not refrain her from pursuing her dreams

Keeping himself busy with #RRR now, it looked like leading director Rajamouli will not be able to take time for any other event now. But the star of Tollywood is going to help his good friend Sai Korrapati like ever.

Popular Kannada hero Yash is getting ready to debut in Telugu now. We dorn know that the trailer of his latest film ‘KGF’ has stunned Telugu folksrn too for its intensity and visual appeal. As this film is simultaneouslyrn releasing in Telugu on December 21 along with Kannada version, producer Sai Korrapati, who bought Telugu rights, is planning a big pre-release event.

Reports are coming that none other than Rajamouli will be coming as a Chief Guest to this event, while his family will be present as usual. Because Sai Korrapati is quite close to Rajamouli family and he also produced Eega movie. That said, Rajamouli’s presence is likely to bring super attention to KGF now.

Already Telugu folks have admired Sudeep a lot after his stint as a villain in Eega. Will they now welcome Yash with same open arms? If the film is good, they will.

When he made the film Minugurulu, no one bought it, but when he came up with 24 Kisses, everyone wants to buy, though he is not selling it. Yes, we’re talking about award winning director Ayodhya Kumar and his upcoming movie.

Ever since heroine Hebah Patel walked out of a TV interview when she is posed questions again and again about those 24 lip kissing scenes she has done for the film ’24 Kisses’, this film got good attention from cinema lovers. As the film is releasing in a couple of days on November 23rd, director (and also producer) Ayodhya Kumar says that kisses won’t help at the box office.

‘When I came up with Minugurulu, none bought it, but it got awards. Now because of these kisses, I got huge sales opportunities, but I’m releasing on my own in Nizam. That said, kisses won’t help the film run at box office, only the content will do’ says Ayodhya Kumar, adding that there is no influence of RX100 or Arjun Reddy on his film. ‘I’ve started the film in 2016, even before those films released. Due to various hurdles, we’re coming two years late’ he added.

And then, this film’s performance is going to seal the fate of heroine Hebah Patel as well at the box office. She has only this movie in hand, where she appears as a solo lead.

Almost after six long years, Ileana D’Cruz has come back to Telugu film industry and Sreenu Vaitla has made her go back to Bollywood. Ileana, during the promotions of Amar Akbar Anthony, has said that she expects more offers if the film proves to be a hit at the box office. But her hopes have been turned into disappointments as the film was another disaster from Sreenu Vaitla and Ravi Teja.

Her career here in Tollywood was really doing well and at that time when her career here was in in a progressing stage, the actor flew to Bollywood and even there, she has done some really good movies. But even there, her career was not so fruitful. Her first film there was Barfi and only films like Rustom and Mubarak have given her some fame there. Now looks like we ourselves have sent her back to Bollywood.

The 31-year-old actor has been confirmed to play the leading lady opposite John Abraham in Pagalpanti. This is going to be an out and out comedy film which will be directed by Anees Bazmee and will be shot in London only. In Bollywood, her last film was Raid, where she played the wife of Ajay Devgn. Let us see what she has to say about this.

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is marking her debut as a radio show presenter, has said that people advised her againt getting married as it would end her career.Kareena, who is happily married to actor Saif Ali Khan, launched “What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan” on Ishq 104.8 FM on Tuesday here.

Asked what she has been wanting as a woman all her life, she said: “I have always been someone who wanted to follow her heart. When I was getting married people told me that don’t get married because your career will end after that. No producer will take you in his films and you will not get any work.”

“But after marriage, I have been working so much that sometimes, I say I don’t want to work too much.”The 38-year-old actress said she has been a person who has done things that she has wanted to do.”I wouldn’t listen to what people had to say. I am doing more work than earlier, I would like to continue and I hope that, I will always follow my heart and that’s what I wanted to do,” she added.

What made the “Veere Di Wedding” star venture into radio?

“When Ishq 104.8 FM came to me for a show that time, I was also surprised because I never been explored radio in my life. So, I was very nervous but when I heard concept of the show and the show would be about ‘What Women Want’ then, I realised that this is the perfect time for me to dive into something like this.”

Kareena added that it’s high time women should speak out.

“Its an unknown territory but I think it’s a territory that we need to speak about and it’s a topic that we need to address. I am glad that they (Ishq 104.8 FM) think that I was perfect for it because I have been opinionated all my life so, I think it’s time that women should speak out and I think it’s going to be a fabulous show,” she said.

The “Jab We Met” actress said she would love to know the reaction of people.”I am here to talk about women and I am here because I am a proud woman so, I would love to represent all of us gorgeous ladies out there,” she said.Saif and Kareena’s step-daughter Sara Ali Khan appeared in the latest episode of talk show “Koffee With Karan” hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar.

Talking about Sara’s appearance in the show, Kareena said: “I am sure that it’s definitely the best episode because Sara and Saif are deadly combination of beauty and brains which is quite rare in this industry.”

If the buzz from film circles is to be believed, Megastar Chiranjeevi will soon team up with star director Trivikram.According to reports, Trivikram has a story idea for Chiranjeevi that was instantly liked by the latter. However, Chiranjeevi is committed to do his next film for Koratala Siva.

#Chiru152 will start rolling once Megastar is done with the shooting of magnum opus Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy directed by Surender Reddy. Therefore, Trivikram’s film could be the 153rd film of Megastar.Trivikram is currently busy with the script work of his next film with Allu Arjun. He will start working on the Mega project after completing the stylish star’s film.

Interestingly, all the top ranked directors are queuing up to work with Chiranjeevi now. Megastar will be busy with these films until 2020.So there is still some time for Megastar to switch to doing multi-starrers and character roles.

Chennai: This is not the first time actors are slammed for their onscreen portrayal of smoking cigarettes by politicians and self styled patrons of moral policing.It was Thalapathy Vijay’s cigarette clad first look of his recent film Sarkar which drew flakes from former union health minister Dr Anbumani Ramadoss who called the gesture of Vijay ‘shameful’.

Dr Anbumani Ramadoss always raises voice for antismoking campaign and takes a dig at Rajini, Vijay and other mass heroes who glorify smoking on screen.Now, it seems it is the turn of his father and PMK party leader Dr S. Ramadoss who has criticised the first look poster of Vishal’s Ayogya which was released recently.In the poster the leggy actor is seen sitting on a police jeep with a beer bottle in his hand.

Dr Ramadoss took to his social media handle and in a series of tweets wrote: “The promo posters of Vishal film Ayogya featuring him with beer bottles should be removed immediately. What’s Vishal trying to imply through this poster? Being the secretary of Nadigar Sangam, I expect some kind of social responsibility from him”.

The politician added sarcastically , “I had earlier written to Vishal in his capacity as Nadigar Sangam secretary to ban smoking scenes from films. Now, I see him going one step ahead and flaunting a beer bottle. What a way to display his social responsibility!!!”

A remake of Tollywood hit Temper which featured Jr NTR in the lead, Ayogya directed by Venkat Mohan has Vishal essaying a ruthless cop with Raashi Khanna playing his romantic pair.
