Rashmika calling off her engagement with Kannada actor and director Rakshit Shetty didn’t go well with Kannada movie fans and the Kannadigas.Since the breakup news came out, there has been negative campaign against her on social media by Kannada movie fans.

Rashmika recently said that she would never leave Kannada movie industry as it is her mother land. However, she is now forced to stay away from Sandalwood for time being to avoid trolling.Rashmika will be concentrating more on Tollywood now as there is huge demand and craze here.Although her recent Nani starrer “Devadas” didn’t do well at the box-office, and didn’t get her any name, she is getting many new offers.

She has already signed Nithin’s “Bhisma”. She is also in talks with Trivikram for his next film. A movie with Sharwanand is also in the offing.Rashmika will also be beginning “Dear Comrade” shortly. This will team her up with “Geetha Govindam” co-star Vijay Deverakonda.

How many of the present day directors have a huge grip on Telugu language and command over Telugu literature? Other than Trivikram, we won’t find any big names for sure while the likes of Sukumar and Rajamouli had international level awareness. Here is the reason behind this talk.

The likes of “Keerthi Suresh”, “Anu Emmanuel”, “Anupama Parameswaran” and now “Pooja Hegde” who have acted as heroines in Trivikram’s movies actually dubbed for their roles. One wonders what made the talented director push these girls to dub their lines, but he says, “they themselves asked me for a chance to dub, I didn’t ask them to do it”.

And then comes the ultimate satire from the wizard of words. “We Telugu people have an inferior feeling for our language and culture. We’ve killed much of its essence already. At least other non-Telugu heroines are trying to honour our language by seeking to dub. Let them do it” quipped Trivikram. That’s a hot and sharp comment coming from him and definitely, our filmmakers need to think about this.

Coming to Pooja’s Arvinda Sametha acts, it is heard that she dubbed not just once but thrice to make sure that her voice will not have any other accent and the pronunciation is bang on.

From a couple of days, there is a huge buzz about Jr NTR’s elder son Abhay Ram making his silver screen debut with “Aravinda Sametha”. In the wake of Kalyan Ram’s son debuting recently, many thought that even Junior also encouraged his son. But what’s the truth about it.

Though this buzz is not new, with Abhay Ram appearing in the making video of Aravinda Sametha, the rumours spread wider. For the record, there is no truth in all these rumours and Abhay Ram hasn’t acted in the film. That’s the clarification given by Jr NTR himself in a recent media interaction.

“One day Abhay came to the shooting spot and the making-video guys recorded it. I’ve actually asked Trivikram to remove those shots from the making video, and he removed two shots but compelled me to keep at least one. That’s how it happened and Abhay appeared. Rest of all are just rumours” said NTR, clarifying that his son will make any such choice only after he wants to do it.

So Abhay Ram appearing in the younger version of Jr NTR in Aravinda Sametha is just trash.

Recently when young hero Ram Pothineni announced that he is going to sing a song for upcoming “Hello Guru Prema Kosame”, his fans felt excited. As the likes of Jr NTR, Raviteja and couple of other heroes did well when it comes to lending voice for a song, even Ram is expected to rock it.

Finally, when the song “Idea Cheppu Friendu” featuring Ram Pothineni and Prakash Raj’s voices is out, no doubt fans got disappointed. Actually the song doesn’t had Ram really singing it, but only he is rhythmically reading out the rhyming lines written by Chandrabose.

The song is not even like a rap but only Ram Pothineni and Prakash Raj keep talking to each other while the ‘friendu friendu’ chorus line has the likes of Devi Sri Prasad’s trademark studio team singing it.

By saying that he has really sung a sing, Ram has literally upset his admirers and these days trolls are pretty quick to point out such silly mistakes. Probably Ram should change the trend and keep things in transparency. Like the line in his song reads, “Friendu, please konchem maarchu trendu”.

Actress Rakul Preet Singh has acknowledged that she is part of the much anticipated ‘NTR’ biopic and she is likely to join the shoot from this week.Rakul will be seen as evergreen actress Sridevi in the biopic and she would start the proceedings with the super hit song ‘Aaku Chatu Pinde Tadise’ from the movie ‘Vetagadu.’

Well, this song needs no introduction as it is one of the classic rain songs and is still quite popular.NTR and Sridevi was a successful combination and so the makers of ‘NTR’ have decided to recreate this combination, also the song which entertained the Telugu audience for few years.

We have to see how Nandamuri Balakrishna and Rakul Preet will pull this off. ‘NTR’ is a Krish directorial and is getting made in two parts.

MM Keeravani is composing music.

Sasha Chettri is not a known name, but she is well known to all as Airtel 4G girl. She became an overnight sensation when Airtel launched 4G campaign in 2015. Back then, she was a favorite meme material for internet trolls.

The cute and bubbly Sasha is making her Tollywood debut with Operation Gold Fish movie directed by Sai Kiran Adivi.Even before her debut film has hit the screens, Sasha has bagged a big ticket movie in Telugu film industry.

Sasha will be playing a key role in Prabhas’s upcoming high budget actioner Saaho. She is not one of the female leads, but has a very important role to play, informed a source. This will be a huge boost for Sasha’s career in films.

Being a part of Saaho will help her debut film Operation Gold Fish to get additional mileage.

Anushka has tried various methods to lose weight, but her efforts went in vain. At one time, she gave up on losing weight and stopped signing new movies.This was the reason why she did not sign any new movie even after delivering a massive hit early this year with “Bhaagamathie”.

Luckily, a friend suggested her to go to Austria to take one last chance. A clinic in Austria is said to treat obese patients through natural remedies.The clinic became famous when some Bollywood actors gained results in no time. Anushka is now headed to Austria to get the same results. At least she feels, this will be her last attempt to lose weight.

37-year-old Anushka is one of the most popular actors in south India and commands openings at box-office by her name.She gained many kilos to look obese for the role of Sweety in the film “Size Zero” and this has deteriorated her health condition and metabolism. The film also turned out to be a dud at box-office. So, she lost on both counts.

After the release of “Size Zero”, she tried to lose all flab but she didn’t achieve desired results. Moreover, she faced health problems.

#MeToo movement is shaking up the movie industry and the media world in India. Celebrities like Nana Patekar, Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath, Kamba, and Vairamuthu have been facing sexual harassment allegations from various women.

Some media editors too have asked to go on leave after facing the similar allegations from women journalists.

#MeToo movement is currently pertaining to English media and it is yet to surface in Telugu media and Tollywood. Although Sri Reddy’s issue shook up Tollywood, there was no #MeToo movement.After singer Chinmayi and others have narrated how they had faced sexual harassment, actress Samantha has responded and lent her support to the women who went through horrible experiences.

Samantha also asked Chinmayi to be strong. She is one of her closest friends.“I am so happy that more and more women are finding the strength to say #MeToo. Your bravery is commendable.“I am sorry though that some people, even other women themselves will shame and burden you with the question of proof and doubt.

“Just know that you are saving many little girls with your voice. Thank You. I support the #MeTooIndia movement,” she posted in a tweet.
