Industry people have huge faith, trust on the judgment of producer-distributor Dil Raju. Many in Tollywood believe that Raju’s judgment rarely goes wrong and gives so much value to his selection of scripts and his distribution releases. But looks like, Raju is slowly losing this.

His latest distribution Mehbooba turned out to be major disaster. While a film may work or may not work at the Box Office and it depends on several things. So, one need not blame the producer or its distributor for the film’s failure.

However, the point here is Dil Raju’s tall claims and his over-the-top praises on director Puri Jagannadh before the release of Mehbooba. Before Mehbooba’s release, Dil Raju on record had said he had watched the entire film of Mehbooba much before and bought the film’s rights only after impressed with the film. Raju publicly stated that Puri Jagannadh is back. He said Puri has once again proved how good his films can be made if he puts heart and soul into the film. Raju said Puri had written the script of Mehbooba whole-heartedly and declared that the film is going to be a big hit.

This talk of Dil Raju has really raised several expectations on the film. Pre-release buzz on Mehbooba was high. Many in industry thought really Puri would be back hearing Raju’s words. But the film has poured cold water on all those hopes. Lack of novel content and slow narrative have dampened the film to the core.

While audiences have rejected the film, Puri is now breathing fire on critics. All these also now surrounding Dil Raju. Looking at all this, one must admit that Raju’s judgment has gone miserably wrong.

How do the offices of top directors like Rajamouli, Sukumar and Trivikram look in reality? Except for the office of Puri Jagan, The Cave, which is designed with almost 15+ crores budget, no other director has a luxury and lavish looking office. The least to say, there is no creative looking office for any Telugu director.

If we got to Bollywood, the likes of Karan Johar and Rajkumar Hirani have these well-designed office spaces, that not only look inspirational but also give that filmy feeling to employees over there. Say it direction department or accounts department, their cabins, the writings on the walls, the pictures and miniatures at these offices sound creative and awe-inspiring.

Reports are being heard in Film Nagar now that even Rajamouli want to come up with one such designer office in Hyderabad. Looking at the office spaces of Karan and others in Mumbai, he has decided to come up with such creative office space for himself too.

Needless to say, that office, if constructed, will have all the weapons that Rajamouli got designed for his protagonists will find space in the showcase. And he might also inspire with his own quotes and special write-ups. On the other hand, Puri Jagan’s office is more of a resort kind of with a filmy look.

While Tollywood is not seeing such hot sister and brother pairs sizzling on silver screen around the same time, already Bollywood has few direct siblings and few cousins rocking the circuits. And here comes one such sister-brother who are now going to lock horns at the box office.

Fact is that Sonam Kapoor got married now but her latest movie “Veere Di Wedding” showcases her in the hottest avatar ever of her career. The likes of Sonam, Kareena Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar who are acting as friends in the film are competing with each other to pour glamour in each scene. And this film is all set for June 1st release.

Guess what, Sonam’s brother Harshvardhan Kapoor is also coming up with the film “Bhavesh Joshi: Super Hero” on the same day. The film’s trailer got a terrific response from masses and people who love action thrillers. Though Bhavesh Joshi was initially set for May 25th release, lack of theatres due to Raazi and Deadpool 2 in theatres, has pushed the film to June 1st. And what has Sonam to say about this?

REports are coming that Sonam is very happy that she and her brother are clashing at the box office and giving two treats on the same day for their Kapoor kandan fans. With Veere Di Wedding being a romantic emotional journey aiming A centres, Bhavesh Josh is a typical B-C centre movie. So the makers of the films feel that it is a healthy clash.

Since last two days, pictures from Cannes Film Festival are shaking Indian internet users as our celebs poured all the hotness on the red carpet. After the return of Kangana Ranaut and Aishwarya Rai from Cannes, Sonam Kapoor took the beacon of fire.

While Indian hotties are charming the festival this way, a Pakistani actress who has shot to fame after acting in Shahrukh Khan’s film “Raees” is now making the most there. Mahira Khan is the one we’re talking about and this hot lady has walked the ramp for the first time, both for her and her country. With simple makeup and sleeveless outfits, Mahira tried to show both glamour and grace with her avatars.

While flaunting cleavages is the biggest fetish of the starlets walking Cannes red carpet, Mahira contained herself in not-so-revealing dresses because she knows about the backlash she has to face in the conservative society back home. But her saree look coupled with a backless blouse stood top, while her modern outfits also added sparkle.

Unfortunately, Mahira didn’t take enough from India earlier after politicians in Maharashtra threatened to destroy film sets and disrupt releases if Pak actors are given prominence here. She didn’t promote Raees.

Fortunately, few directors are able to get film after film even though their previous films are disasters. And there are those who delivered a blockbuster but still waiting for a hero or heroine to okay their storyline.

Despite delivering duds like Kesava and LIE, both the directors Sudheer Varma and Hanu Raghavapudi respectively are working with Sharwanand in their next. But surprisingly, a director who has delivered first hit of the year through Anushka’s Bhagamathie is yet to grab an offer. Yes, he’s none other than director turned choreographer Ashok.

Though Ashok’s debut film Pilla Zamindar with Nani is also a super hit, the director took years to get a project moving. After a lot of delays, finally, Bhaagamathie released and compensated the lack of entertainment at box office early this year. And then, there are no takers yet for Ashok and his scripts though he narrated some stories already to a few star heroes.

They say that Ashok lacks the narrative skills the likes of Vamsi Vakkantam and Hanu Raghavapudi are having. If one could impress with the narration, star heroes will do films no matter even if the story is hollow. Maybe Ashok should correct that aspect.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan kissed her daughter Aaradhya on her lips cat Cannes, on the occasion of Mother’s day and she shared the same on her new Instagram account, quoting “LOVE YOUUNCONDITIONALLY Happiest Mama in the World”.

Many found it adorable and called it the purest love, but there are equal number of people who found it ‘gross’ and ‘inappropriate’. This argument is not new, but mixed reactions and trolls on internet are bringing out the same old discussion, which fail to prove its good or bad.

While many parents out there feel it weird to kiss their young ones on lips as kids at certain age, develop sexual awareness and kiss on their lips can be stimulating to them, many other parents too condemned kissing on kids’ lips at any age is not proper.

Therapists across the world too have different opinions on this issue, but almost all of them advise parents to stop kissing when it has to be. Trolls on Instagram went a bit extreme questioning Aishwarya’s sexual orientation and few even accused her of sexual abuse.

Mothers, irrespective of culture, share a lot of physical intimacy with kids, but a kiss alone cannot be stimulating if nothing else like tickling, bathing, hugging and cuddling can’t be, say few. Calling it inappropriate is different argument from asking the actress’s sexual orientation in this context, which is is ridiculously extreme and unacceptable.

There is a different argument, that Aish is imitating the western culture (wherein many parents kiss their teenage kids’ too) just for the photograph popularity and paparazzi.

“Mahanati” is one of the most liked films by majority of audience after “Baahubali”. It is in fact a great deal to find a place on screen in this film. Even a small role would make the actors feel like a historical experience in the years down the line. But how it pinches if one finds a prominent role in the film Mahanati but completely gets chopped off on editing table? Yes, it happened to Bindu Chandramouli. You may wonder who she is. But she bagged a pivotal role of Pushpavalli. In fact, there is only one scene where Gemini Ganesan confesses to Savitri that he has an affair with Pushpavalli. Other than that there was no scene where Pushpavalli was seen.

Bindu Chandramouli mentioned in social media- “It’s very disappointing to have known that the makers have decided to cut out the whatever little it is, the character of Pushpavalli (after dubbing) and also appearance of the character of her young daughter Rekha”.

So, this is understood that even the legendary actress Rekha who happened to be a daughter of Gemini Ganesan also had a place on screen but got deleted later.

What else can we do than feeling pity for the actress Bindu? Well, the makers can at least release those scenes as uncut bits on YouTube. A solace for the actress and a treat for the audience. On the other hand, there is another option for the makers to release the director’s cut (without deleted scenes) online.

Followed by this Bindu Chandramouli later posted, ” OMG! I moved on. I shared a personal post on my wall about my instant disappointment, which was a simple human instinct , and that has been used extensively in media to make news( friends have sent me links from reputed newspapers too). Some have even interpreted it differently.

FYI : I was never contacted or approached by anyone from media on this topic. I just want to clarify, I have nothing against the Mahanati team. They are the best I have worked with and I am not upset with any of them. It was just couple shots and not a big deal. Wish few websites stop misconstruing the posts/pics on my personal wall and let us all forget Pushpavlli. Mahanati is a classic and let’s just appreciate it.”

The former porn star recently sizzled in lingerie for a monochrome photo shoot. She looked as stunning as ever.
