Generally, many directors and star heroes keep a close watch on the films of other competitors that are releasing in theatres. But they don’t speak openly about them, for reasons better known to them. However, Trivikram is an exception.

Other day Trivikram revealed during the promotions of Aravinda Sametha that he keeps a tab of all the releases no matter how much busy he is. “I watch all the films that are doing good and I do watch only in a theatre,” he says, adding that watching in home theatres will kill the theatrical experience.

Guess what he has to say about some super hits of 2018: “Films like Rangasthalam, Arjun Reddy, RX100 and Goodachari have made me jealous too. Both in terms of content and production values, they are well ahead of what we are crafting. Such films challenged me to come up with something new and fresh” avers Trivikram.

Looks like the fresh content that is coming to TOllywood has an impact on Trivikram too. So should we expect that he has dealt Aravinda Sametha in a different way than usual? A day more, the truth will be out!!

NTR is one of the top Tollywood stars who commands more than half million dollars opening from premiere shows at USA box-office.His recent movies “Janatha Garage” and “Jai Lava Kusa” both had grossed $589k and $584k respectively from premiere shows.

This time he has set eyes to rake in more money given the name of Trivikram is attached to “Aravindha Sametha” that is premiering tonight in USA.Trivikram’s past movie Pawan Kalyan starrer “Agnyaathavasi” grossed $1.5 million from premiere shows but it tanked later.

Hence, NTR is hoping to get anywhere between 700k to $1 million from premiere shows for “Aravindha Sametha”.The film is having huge craze. It has already got $300k from advance bookings. The trend of pre-sales predict that it would easily cross $600k figure.

It has to be seen whether NTR can get $1 million mark for the first time from premiere shows.

Ram Pothineni’s upcoming Dussera release Hello Guru Prema Kosame trailer is out. There’s nothing refreshing about the concept and characters.Everything from hero’s character, parents, friends and heroine’s ideology gives us been-there-seen-that feel.

Director Trinadha Rao Nakkina and writer Prasanna have been successful in making template movies work.Therefore, they had stick to their strengths and apparently serving us another template romance comedy with stock characters.The trailer doesn’t create any curiosity but it appears to be a fun film targeted at festive crowds. Dil Raju is once again played safe by sticking to the formula.

A template romance needs a super hit sound track to create an impact, but the recently launched Devi’s soundtrack has been receiving underwhelming response from music lovers.Ram and Anupama look good together and Prakash Raj as ‘friend’ seems to be the main pillar of the film.On the whole, Hello Guru Prema Kosame seems to be a film that is similar to the last scene in the trailer.

A mumbling attempt from the makers to score pass marks in spite of not having strong and fresh content on hands.

Director Hanu Raghavapudi is known for novelistic romantic dramas and he has brought yet another love tale in the form of ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu.’The teaser of the film is unveiled and it has Sharwanand and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles. The teaser starts of Sharwa following Pallavi wherever she goes and one fine day, she notices him stalking.

“Oye Levayya Le…. Yenti Follow Chestunnava,” questions Sai Pallavi and to this Sharwa replies, “Arre Meeku Thelisipoyindaa ??” But eventually they fall in love. That sums up the teaser.Once again Sharwa grabs the attention with his innocent looks while Sai Pallavi appears as a firebrand. The chemistry between is quite pleasing to see as well.

The last shot wherein Sharwa holds on to Pallavi in a boat on the backdrop of the Kolkata bridge is the highlight of the teaser.Vishal Chandrasekhar‘s background score for the teaser is just the thing while the cinematography by Jayakrishna is top class.

The film is releasing on December 21st.

A couple of years ago, when composer Thaman invited Jr NTR to sing a Kannada song for hero Puneet Rajkumar, he did it with ease. At that time many are stunned by the way he’s able to sing in other language as well. But here is an interesting snippet.

Recently when Jr NTR is shooting for Aravinda Sametha, suddenly he got a call from a relative from his mother’s side. It happens to be a call to console him as his father Hari Krishna succumbed to a road accident recently. During that, Tarak is said to be talking in the Kannada language with his relatives, thereby stunning some of the technicians who overheard the conversation.

Actually Jr NTR’s mother Shalini Bhaskar Rao has roots in Karnataka, where her ancestors happen to be Telugu families settled in Bellary and Raichur. For that reason, she speaks fluent Kannada and NTR also learnt the language as he used to frequent his relatives there. That’s the reason being his Kannada prowess.

While Tarak is an excellent orator in Telugu, he’s pretty good with English, Hindi and Kannada as well, literally pulling off some versatile qualities to become a pan Indian actor. How about trying luck in other languages as well Tarak?

Vijay Deverakonda’s open letter to alleged “haters” and “trollers” has become a hot topic in Tollywood circuits. While many heroes are of the feeling that Vijay had targeted them, a young hero has even jumped and gave a strong counter to Vijay, albeit indirectly.

Without taking names, Nikhil has posted a GIF featuring former US president Barack Obama which sees him drop the mike in his hand indicating ‘You are nobody’. He also wrote, “For ppl who think -The World Revolves around them …. nd throw unnecessary Attitude around..DUDE UR NOT THAT IMPORTANT… Every Actor only Competes with Himself.We r but a drop in the ocean called Movie Making. Hype Less… Work More…”

Now many in industry are assuming that it was Nikhil’s counter to Vijay. Even Vijay fans have started trolling Nikhil with aggressive comments. While there is nothing wrong in Nikhil said, but the context of what he said had become the point of discussion. Even Vijay’s fans are now burning with anger.

Meanwhile, many of young heroes are said to be with Nikhil in this issue. One has to see where this all lead to.

After a long gap, finally Rakul Preet Singh is going to appear on Telugu silver screen. This time she will be sizzling in a compelling role of late actress Sridevi for upcoming #NTR biopic.

On the eve of Rakul’s 28th birthday today #NTR unit has released the first look of Sridevi from their movie. While Rakul is looking quite gorgeous in her own way, she is no match to Sridevi for sure. That never ending charm and magical eyes of Athiloka Sundari are missing here. Looks like this dressing is from Vetagadu movie song scene and that needs more ‘chilipi’ kind of look which Rakul missed out big time.

Depsite the fact that director Krish got most of the casting perfect for this much awaited biopic, looks like finding right actresses to match veteran divas is a daunting task. Anyway, Rakul might impress with acting prowess if not looks. Good luck and happy birthday beauty!!
