JV Somayajulu was one of the finest actors in Tollywood and the kind of roles he played, he was treated as a father figure.The stupendous success of Sankarabharanam had bought Somayajulu immense respect and admiration among cine goers back then.

Nevertheless, Somayajulu was attacked when he had worn jeans to attend an event. There were many such instances which prove Telugu audience’s respect for epic roles.

Recently, Keerthy Suresh stunned one and all with her career’s best performance as a great actor Savitri in the film Mahanati which won critical accolades besides minting money at the box- office.

Many doubted whether Keerthy Suresh can pull off the challenging role aptly before the release. The starlet gave answer to all of them with her acting prowess.“She just lived in the character,” opine many.

An actor needs to play different roles in their career. Likewise, Keerthy Suresh is also picking a variety of roles and films.

However, audiences expect excellent performance every time from Keerthy Suresh and they want to see her only in decent and de-glamourised roles, after watching her as Savitri in Mahanati.

Though Keerthy Suresh too is keen on doing only performance- oriented roles, she needs to make sure to pick films which will show her in a respectable manner at least for one to two years.

All the while it is giving a feeling that Nagarjuna’s “Officer: is just a fictitious story crafted by Ram Gopal Varma with his dried up creative juices. And the badly cut trailer hasn’t created any interest in the movie. But there seems like a real connection for Nag’s role which sounds pretty interesting now.

RGV himself revealed that the role played by Nagarjuna is inspired by K Mallikarjuna Prasanna, the 2000 batch Maharashtra cadre IPS officer. “The Story of Nagarjuna’s OFFICER is based upon a true life IPS officer K M Prasanna from Karnataka, who was appointed as the chief of a SIT (Special Investigation Team) to investigate a highly reputed cop in Mumbai,” says Varma.

A little dig into the history reveals that Prasanna is the head of SIT that investigated the 2006 fake encounter of Ram Narayan Gupta alias Lakhan Bhaiya, an aide of mafia don Chhota Rajan. And that highly reputed top cop who was accused of the fake encounter is none other than encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma, who has credits for gunning down more than 100 criminals. That explains the trailer of “Officer” completely, filling all the loopholes in fiction part.

Well, so far we have seen many films based on the life of Pradeep Sharma including that of Ab Tak Chappan, Golimaar and others. Now it looks like Varma is going forward a bit in the timeline. Hope this reality connect helps him come up with a sensible product that works at the box office.

Legendary actress Sridevi died of accidental drowning on February 24, 2018. However, there were countless doubts regarding the actress’ mysterious death and several conspiracy theories had emerged till Sridevi’s last rites were performed in Mumbai on the 28th of February.

Adding fuel to the fire, retired Delhi Assistant Commissioner of Police Ved Bhushan, who now runs a private investigation agency, has made sensational revelations, saying that Sridevi’s death cannot be forgotten as ‘accidental drowning’ as it seemed like a ‘planned murder’.

‘It’s very easy to put someone in bathtub forcefully until victim’s breathing stops without leaving evidence of crime, and label it as an accidental death. This looks like a planned murder,’ said the ACP. He further added, “With all respect towards Dubai law, we were not satisfied with their report on Sridevi’s death. We wanted to know what happened exactly. There were many questions left unanswered. We went to Dubai to collect all the facts.”

Ved Bhushan also revealed that he visited the Jumeirah Emirates Towers hotel in Dubai to probe the incident, but wasn’t given permission to enter the room where Sridevi had stayed and died. Ved said that he recreated the entire scene in an adjacent room and concluded that there’s some mystery behind the actress’ death.

The forensic report released by the Dubai police after conducting an autopsy on February 26 stated that the actress died of accidental drowning, with traces of alcohol in her body. Ved Bhushan is still investigating the case and his final conclusion is awaited.

Most awaited Bigg Boss season 2 has arrived and the first look is here. NTR did his best in the first season with his composed and balanced style of presenting the show. His spontaneity and timing were few of the main factors that led the first season to huge success.

Well, Nani is equally good at engaging the audience with his timely words and sarcasm. Let us see how he does it once the season starts. On the other side, while there are some rumored names about participants, let us wait for the official list.

One of the most sought after actresses in Tamil industry at the moment is the native girl Sai Pallavi who has shot to fame with Malayalam movie “Premam”. And she scored hits in Telugu as well with “Fidaa” and “MCA”. Here is her latest role that is going to win many more mass fans.

Known for picking up talented actresses to challenge him in acting, hero Dhanush has now roped in Sai Pallavi for the sequel of his 2014 gangster comedy Maari. To be helmed by Balaji Mohan of the original film, the film will be portraying Sai Pallavi in Khaki dress. No, she’s not an IPS officer or lady constable, but she’s playing the role of an auto driver.

Quite unexpected, but the soon to be MBBS graduate who has studied in Georgia is now going to Chennai outskirts every day to learn how to drive an auto. From Rajnikanth in Baasha to many other stars have always loved to drive an auto rickshaw on the silver screen and it looks like Sai Pallavi will continue the legacy.

Though her latest film “Kanam” didn’t do well both at Telugu and Tamil box office, Sai Pallavi has films with the likes of Surya and Dhanush in Kollywood while she will be romancing Sharwanand in Padi Padi Lechenu Manasu in her next Tollywood appearance.

Speaking eyes, gorgeous dance poses and enchanting glamour is the typical Aishwarya Rai that comes to anyone’s mind when they think of her as a heroine. After returning back to films post her marriage and delivery, Aish is however not picking such projects.

Confirming that commercial films are not her cup of tea now, the former Miss World did films like Jazbaa and Sarbjit but nothing worked at the box office. And her spicy acts in films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil also didn’t get any attention. Currently, she’s working on Fanne Khan movie, but another film that is much talked about is “Jasmine”.

The film deals with the life of a woman who rents her womb for a couple opting for surrogacy. From a long time, Toilet Ek Prem Katha fame director Shree Narayan Singh is waiting for Aish’s green signal to kick start the film. However, the actress other day clarified that she will think about the film only after the script is re-written as she felt some parts are underworked. That confirms the rumour that she doesn’t want to be seen in the role of a lady who will rent her womb.

Because the makers are pretty much excited about the script that was already written and a newcomer might direct the movie while Narayan Singh will produce it.

“Veree Di Wedding” is one upcoming film that is making youths go gaga all over as the four leading ladies of the film are flaunting their sexiest best. Touted to be India’s Hangover featuring girl friends, the film has Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shika Talsania in the leads.

Already the trailer and video songs of the film have showcased what these star heroines are going to do inside this film. And now, some pictures of this June 1st release are breaking the internet big time. Here we go where the hotties slipped into their perfect beach attires for a quick snap.

Needless to say, Kareena looks like a sex goddess in that bronze coloured outfit. Losing weight quickly after becoming a mother, she’s flaunting the best of curves in that tiny top. And the second one from the right is dusky siren Swara Bhaskar who has proved her potential as an actress. Slipping into a white single piece bikini, she’s not shying away from glamour treats.

Then we got Sonam Kapoor wearing a short capri and a bra-like bikini top. The newlywed bride knows how to accentuate her sex appeal well. That chubby girl is Shika Talsania who is doing only comedy roles as a sidekick in many Hindi films. And she too tried her hand at glamour. What else can fill eyes than this shot??.

Mega hero Sai Dharam Tej is wrapping up his upcoming film, a romantic drama titled Tej..I Love You. Sai is trying out the romance genre for the first time in his 6-year-old career.

And Tej is continuing the same genre even for his next project. His next film will be directed by Kishore Tirumala and it will be a triangular love story, featuring two heroines.

The second trailer for the upcoming Hollywood biggie ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ is out recently and it instantly wows with its breathtaking action sequences. Fallout is the sixth edition of the superhit action movie franchise Mission: Impossible and Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt yet again.

Fallout’s trailer is all about Tom Cruise going rogue and his nerve-wracking stunts (he also broke his ankle while performing a daredevil stunt) apart from the quintessential espionage drama that prominently features in all MI movies. The skydiving stunt in the trailer has left the franchise lovers in awe.

As the film’s director Christopher McQuarrie mentioned in one of the interviews, Fallout’s plot is mostly about Ethan Hunt’s past decisions coming back to haunt him. Ethan Hunt’s mission is to capture Solomon Lane even as he is hunted by August Walker.

Misson: Impossible – Fallout is gearing up for release on July 27 in North America. The date for this Paramount Pictures distribution venture’s Indian release is yet to be announced.

How much privacy do celebrities will have in public? This is the question being asked time and again. Because if heroines come to shop openings they get molested by frenzy crowds and if they go to theatres, people pass lewd comments at them.

Other day when A..Aa and Big Boss show fame Hari Teja went to a theatre to catch the latest blockbuster ‘Mahanati’, it’s heard that she got insulted big time by a co-viewer that too a woman.

“We, including my mom, dad and sister went to Mahanati theatre to catch the film. And suddenly we thought of readjusting our seats and asked our dad to sit at the far end while my sister is sitting there till then. But when my dad is about to sit there, the woman in the adjacent seat started abusing us. She said, ‘My daughter will not be comfortable if your dad sits here. We’re not cinema people like you to sit beside males and enjoy’. How ruthless and cheap that is?” said Hari Teja breaking down into tears.

Recalling the incident, she’s into tears all over and stated that those people working in movies are also normal persons like anyone and it’s not fair to insult them with such cheap comments. “If you buy a ticket with 100 rupees that doesn’t mean you have right over all the artists” she adds.

While the cynical mindset of these common people could be understood, some say that Hariteja should have purchased two extra seats showcasing her celebrity range and leaving the space on either end to her family.

From the last two days, there is news of Uday Kiran’s biopic doing rounds everywhere. Also, some sources confirmed about the possible casting of the film too. But director Teja has now claimed that everything is just a figment of imagination.

When contacted to talk about this rumoured biopic, talented filmmaker Teja feigned ignorance and expressed anguish as to how such rumours emerge in the first place. “I don’t how it started, but I have no such plans of making any movie on the story of Uday Kiran. I have not even thought about it. My next film is a regular commercial masala movie with loads of action” said Teja, while speaking with a leading media house.

Teja also condemned that any title he has registered in the recent times is regarding some other films but not any biopic. Though he refused to talk about his exit from NTR’s biopic, he has confirmed that there is no interest for him to do any other biopics.

But how come such ‘smoke’ erupted about this project when there is no ‘fire’ at all. Some say that Teja has got excited about the idea of making a biopic on Uday Kiran, but the pressures from some industry bigwigs have made him go back from the project, dropping the whole idea. Only Teja knows the truth about this.

And few feel that it’s too early for a biopic to be made on an actor like Uday Kiran and in the current scenario it looks only like a cashing game.

From the last couple of days, the song Kalyaana Vayasu from Nayanatara’s upcoming film Kolamaavu Kokila (CoCo) is taking the internet by a storm. Composed by Anirudh, the song is written by hero Sivakarthikeyan. Not just the song, but the visual montages featuring comedian Yogi Babu and the top heroine of South is just mind-blowing.

Guess what, now Nayantara’s real-life boyfriend, director and lyricist Vignesh Shivan has taken to his social media page to talk about this song. Sharing a picture of Nayantara and him, he wrote, “Naekku #kalyaanavayasu dhaan vandhuduthu dee #wait pannavaa #kolamaavukokila #nayanthara thank u for the right song my dear brothers Anirudh and Sivakarthikeyan”. And now netizens are busy discussing his comment.

The song’s lyrics mean that he is waiting to get married as the right age has come and with Vignesh calling this is a ‘right’ song at the right time, people are speculating that he’s hinting about marriage. After the marriage of Samantha, are we going to witness another star heroine’s wedding now?

For now, Nayan is busy wrapping a couple of big films including Ajith’s next that was shot in Hyderabad till yesterday and now moved to Mumbai.
