How did Subramanyam, a small-time distributor and financier from Rajamahendravaram end up buying the rights to Officer for the entire Andhra Region for Rs 3.3 crore?What made him so confident about the film, putting him today on the brink of financial ruin?

Here’s the inside story!

Subrahmanyam was first approached for finance by the makers of Officer. He gave them around Rs 1.3 crore and took all the necessary signatures.As the film was about to be completed, Subrahmanyam asked them to return his amount. RGV and team did not respond and when Subrahmanyam pulled them up, they asked him to go to Court.

Realising that a legal case might take a lot of time, Subrahmanyam asked them for the rights to the movie for the Godavari areas in lieu of his amount.Delighted at the small distributor falling into their trap, RGV and Co told him that they would only sell the rights to entire Andhra region and not just one or two areas.

They quoted a price of Rs 3.50 crore for the entire Andhra region which was a very small price indeed for a Nagarjuna film.Why would they quote such a low price unless they knew well beforehand that the film was a disaster?Anyway, finding no other way to recoup his investment, Subrahmanyam paid them another Rs 2.31 crore in the belief that he would at least break even since Raju Gari Gadhi 2 had collected around Rs 7 crore.

Now, Subrahmanyam has lost his entire investment and in return has to pay hefty amounts to exhibitors. As for RGV and Co, they have already fled to Mumbai.Not surprising from someone who can instigate Sri Reddy against Pawan Kalyan and make her utter vulgar words against him.

There are many reports doing rounds about young actor Rana’s health issues. That he is going for eye surgery was reported. Truth is that he is on low sodium diet.Rana who is known for his bulky avatar has turned very lean of late. He became lean for one of his movies.

He also lost weight further recently due to low sodium diet regimen that he is following. Rana himself shared this information on Twitter that he is currently following low sodium diet.Now comes the question as to why he is taking less salt?

According to our sources, he was asked by doctors to limit his daily salt intake after they found a minor problem in his body. All he needs to do is restrict the intake which is nothing much to worry about.So the handsome actor has now put his assignments on hold and is regaining health. He gained a lot of weight for “Baahubali” movies and later shed the weight for other movies. This said to have affected his health a bit.

Actor and filmmaker Arbaaz Khan made headlines when he confessed that he was involved in the IPL betting scam.A police official claimed that Arbaaz told that he has been betting on cricket matches for the past five to six years.Official also said that Arbaaz, who appeared before Thane Police’s Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) on June 02, 2018, also claimed that he had not placed bets on any match of the 2018 season of the Indian Premier League that ended on May 27, 2018.

Reportedly, Khan allegedly lost Rs 2.80 crore in betting to a prominent bookie Sonu Jalan and was not paying the amount, following which the bookie had threatened the actor.Arbaaz Khan’s name first cropped up during the custodial interrogation of Jalan. Arbaaz said that he had replied to all the police queries and “was fully cooperating in the ongoing investigations.”

Sources revealed that Khan’s ex-wife Malaika Arora Khan tried to stop him from placing illegal bets, however, he did not listen. This reportedly caused trouble in their marriage. Not only Malaika but his brother and father also tried to intervene.According to sources, this further strained their relationship and the couple announced their separation in 2016.

The couple issued joint statement, which read, “We are not separated because of a third random person, like there were stories of a friendship between a businessman and Malaika. Nor was it about his family disapproving of her lifestyle, nor does she feel that her husband is not financially stable.”

Failure of one film at box office definitely worries the ‘sales’ prospects of the next venture, whether it is a Mahesh Babu movie or Jr NTR’s film. And now, two big flops are worrying two popular heroes who have joined hands for a multi starrer movie.

Hero Nani is on a good roll, but most of his movies worked at the box office because he carried the whole film on his shoulders. And by the time Krishnarjuna Yuddham came, audience got tired to see Nani starring in spineless stories and the film ended up as a disaster.

Same is the case with Akkineni Nagarjuna whose routine films are not going well at the box office. After Raju Gari Gadhi 2, he scored a flop yet again, this time the dismal show of “Officer” made him score a bigger one. A known fact is that these two heroes have actually teamed up for a new movie under the direction of Sriram Aditya, whose shooting has already started.

Buzz has that both Nani and Nag want their director to recheck the script to make sure that there are no loopholes in it. They want to score a big hit at any cost with the movie and want to generate hype with teasers and trailers itself. The flop effect of their last films will whine away only if this new film comes out well.
