One of the talented actresses in Tollywood at the moment is Tamil beauty Sai Pallavi who has shot to fame with a Malayali blockbuster and entered in Telugu with another blockbuster. This lady is, however, an epicenter of controversies for reasons unknown.

Though no other hero complained on Sai Pallavi like the way Naga Shourya vented fumes, somehow her professional approach is worrying Telugu folks. Actually, she has given bulk dates for Sharwanand’s Padi Padi Lechenu Manasu and her work is quite impressive for the hero and director Hanu Raghavapudi as well. But after finishing the edit, the unit wanted to reshoot a few scenes.

While the reshoots are on, the actress has given a couple of more dates but the director is said to be asking for some more dates now. As this demand is not coming down, Sai Pallavi is said to have started demanding extra remuneration for all the reshoot dates she is going to allot.

As the film is set for December 21st release, the makers have no option than to bend to Sai Pallavi’s demands. Cinema experts however feel, why would any actor/actress give extra dates for free?

Hero Sharwanand turned spiritual and religious these days. It is said that he performed a ‘Maha Padi’ Pooja at Film Nagar temple in grand manner and also hosted ‘Annadaanam’ at the temple premises.

In the recent times, Sharwanand was seen wearing a ‘mala’ and is heard that he has been wearing it for about 42 days. As per the Pooja customs, he wore black clothes, slept on the floor and refrained himself from wearing footwear.

With a lot of devotion, Sharwanand did this and despite having shoots, he maintained the balance.

That’s quite strange as we hardly hear about young heroes and their devotional side. But Sharwa makes a statement he is like any other person having faith in god and being religious.

Compared to ‘NOTA’, Vijay Deverakonda’s new release “Taxiwaala” has performed better at USA box-office.

Taking into the account that the film’s piracy print is available on torrents for USA audiences, its performance at ticket window is good.

“Taxiwaala” that released last weekend with least expectations took about 400k opening in its first two days. It premiered on Friday.

Fri (premiere): $115,944 Sat: $192,802 Sun: $100k (apprx) Total Weekend Gross: $410k (apprx)

The film will cross half million dollars in couple of days. Vijay Deverakonda’s previous film “NOTA” had just $300k gross in its entire run.

Before that he had massive hit with “Geetha Govindam” that raked in $2.5 million.

Mega Hero Varun Tej is going through a good phase, as he scored back-to-back hits at the box-office with ‘Fidaa’ & ‘Tholiprema’.

Currently, Varun is shooting for his forthcoming film ‘F2-Fun & Frustration’ along with Victory Venkatesh under the direction of Anil Ravipudi and his movie ‘Anthariksham’ is scheduled to hit the screens on December 21, 2018.

Varun signed an action entertainer and the actor will be seen as a Boxer in this film. Geetha Arts will be bankrolling this project along with a new production company.

Kiran Korrapati is making his directorial debut with the untitled film and more details about the cast & crew will be announced very soon.

The shooting part of this movie will start in January 2019.

Massive multi-starrer ‘RRR’ being directed by top director S S Rajamouli with reported budget of Rs 300 Cr began its regular shoot on Monday morning.

The mega movie is now being canned at large sets erected in Kondapur in Hyderabad.

“RRR starts rolling today,#RRRShootBegins,” Rajamouli tweeted sharing a pic with the lead stars NTR and Ram Charan from the location.

NTR and Ram Charan who had earlier acted in Rajamouli’s movies are acting together for the first time. They are screening space as youngsters who pitted against each other.

Rajamouli is back to the sets after a gap of two years. He wrapped up the entire shoot of “Baahubali 2” in 2016 December.

NTR underwent physical training for this role while Ram Charan has gone for hairstyle.

DVV Danayya is producing this film that is being referred as “RRR”. Speculations are rife that “RRR” stands for “Rama Ravana Rajyam”.

Allu Arjun threw a lavish private party for the team Taxiwala in B-Dubs pub for the huge hit and he congratulated the team.

He invited all the young directors and other new talents for the party. He always supports movies with good content.

Previously he threw such kinds of parties for teams of “#PelliChupulu” and “Mahanati” for their success.

Recently, Parasuram’s directorial super hit “Geetha Govindam” team was invited by Allu Arjun.

“Taxiwala” and “Geetha Govindam” both were the products of GA-2 and both movies scored a huge hit at the box-office.

Producer of “Taxiwaala” SKN was a personal PRO of Allu Arjun and ‘Bunny Vasu’ who produced Geetha Govindam is a close friend of Allu Arjun.

Bunny was much happy with SKN scoring big success as solo producer, Irrespective of the production houses or the producers he encourages new talents in the Industry.

Thugs of Hindostan, without an ounce of doubt, has turned out to be one of the biggest box-office disasters that the Hindi film industry has seen in the past one decade.

The epic action-adventure, starring Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles, has collected a little over Rs 143 crore in its 10-day run at the box-office, a performance clearly not at par with expectations the trade pundits had from the film.

While Thugs of Hindostan turned out to be a disappointment of mammoth proportions for the audience, the producers as well as the exhibitors have incurred heavy losses on the film, reports Bollywood Hungama.

The web portal claims that it is only the sub-distributors of Yash Raj Films, who distributed the film on a commission basis, are at profit.

Since the sub-distributors distributed the film on a Minimum Guarantee Deal, they pocketed a major chunk of the profit. In such a scenario, it was the exhibitors who were at a great loss.

The report claims that they have lost out on over 50 per cent of their investments. The trade sources have confirmed that losses faced by exhibitors are higher than they did on Tubelight.

Their last and only hope is now the China where the film will be released next month.

These days many big production houses are starting their own Visual Effects companies. While the likes of Makuta and Prime Focus in Hyderabad are purely talent-driven, others are started only to serve their producers. And there is a reason behind this.

Every producer feels that they are spending a vast amount of money on visual effects. Say a producer pays 10 crores to VFX studios, he feels that starting his own studio and employing some VFX artists will cost him only 3 crores for the whole job. Earlier Suresh Babu and his son Rana started a VFX company named Spirit with same thought process in mind, and they have bitten the dust with that business. Producer Dil Raju also invested in a VFX company and the result is same.

And now, a big producer’s son who is sitting idle at home has started a similar company, which is responsible for the graphics work of a recent release. Many wonders why this man ventured into VFX though he knows nothing of it. They say that the big family wants to save all their money by doing CG Graphics stuff themselves at their own company.

If the likes of Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay thought in the same way, imagine the number of VFX companies they should have started. Pch!!

Since the minute they have announced that they are in love, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have garnered the enough limelight. Recently, Priyanka has revealed that she is suffering from Asthama since she was a five year old kid. Her fans and film fraternity and poured in their support to the actor. Now the latest news is that her fiancé, and international singer Nick Jonas is suffering from Type 1 diabetes since his childhood.

He took to Instagram to share the news and has posted his childhood picture and here is what he wrote.

“13 years ago today I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The picture on the left is me a few weeks after my diagnosis. Barely 100 pounds after having lost so much weight from my blood sugar being so high before going to the doctor where I would find out I was diabetic. On the right is me now.

Happy and healthy. Prioritizing my physical health, working out and eating healthy and keeping my blood sugar in check. I have full control of my day to day life with this disease, and I’m so grateful to my family and loved ones who have helped me every step of the way. Never let anything hold you back from living your best life. Thank you to all my fans for your kind words and support. Means more than you know. Love you all.”

Often show hosts at various film events will be facing some tough questions from the producers and organizers, regarding their appearance. There are times where some senior heroes asked few heroines to go back to their star hotels, change dress and come back.

Back then, they used to ask heroines to change their dress as their present one is looking quite hotter. But now, this particular anchor who has recently shot to fame with a TV program has faced the reverse of it. She was asked to put more of her skin on display and make the program look spicier.

Known for her satirical talks and beautiful smile, this anchor was asked to shine in some revealing dresses other day. Though that low-neck back of her figure hugging dress made her look spicy, the organizer has demanded more. “I’m a married woman here and I don’t have a curvaceous body. What more hotness you want from me? This is the maximum I could do” she said, clarifying that either she will walk out or she will continue with that attire.

With no other option left, the organizers wrapped the event successfully but vowed not to rope her again for future events.

Known for his frank talk, upright statements and simplicity, hero Vijay Devarakonda is going places. Yet again he has impressed everyone with his latest movie “Taxiwala” and it seems like he is going to go all out to promote the film further.

Trending the hashtag #VijayBeMyTaxiwaala, he has other day picked a policewoman, an elderly person and others and dropped them at the location they want to go. This particular act is in relation to the character he played inside the film Taxiwala which has posted pretty superb figures on its first day.

Earlier during Summer, Vijay has started a special cart that will distribute buttermilk for free. Then he came up with the idea of an ice-cream van that will give ice creams for free. He launched his own Rowdy brand apparel to woo his fans. All these ideas are unique and different, and people wonder where would he got these ideas from.

Anyway, with Taxiwala likely to prove its mettle, Vijay is likely to emerge as that big competition to heroes like Nani, Varun Tej and others in that second-in-range line.

Here is the young Mega couple Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela posing with the parents-to-be Sreeja Kalyaan and Kalyaan Dhev. The entire Mega family stars were present at the ceremony and celebrated Sreeja’s baby shower and wished the young couple before the arrival of their bundle of joy.

Sreeja tied the knot with Kalyaan Dhev in March 2016. She already has a 8-year-old daughter from her first marriage. Kalyaan absolutely dotes on the little girl which is evident in his Instagram pictures. Well, for now, the Mega family will be eagerly waiting for the next big news to come soon.
