Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram’s 2013 industry hit ‘Atharintiki Dharedhi’ is currently being remade in Tamil. Simbu is the main lead and C Sundar is the director of this movie, which is bankrolled by one of the top Tamil production houses, Lyca Productions.

Already, Megha Akash, who was seen in Nithiin’s LIE and Chal Mohan Ranga, has been chosen to play the remake’s main heroine, which was originally essayed by Samantha. And then, there has been a huge speculation on the actress who will be playing the Maradalu role, portrayed by Pranitha Subhash in the Telugu version.

Now, Kollywood circles have been buzzing with the news that Bangalore hottie Catherine Tresa has been signed on for the role. Catherine had earlier set the screens on fire with her sizzling show as an MLA in Sarrainodu and a hot and arrogant media tycoon in Rana’s Nene Raju Nene Mantri. We will have to see if her role will be modified with extra screentime in the Tamil version.

Of the top 5 contestants including Kaushal, Geetha Madhuri, Deepthi, Samrat and Tanish, Kaushal has got more votes in the online poll and is likely to be announced as the Bigg Boss season 2 title winner.

Inside buzz is that Kaushal is said to have won the prize money of Rs 50 Lakh. While Kaushal lacked the support from house inmates, he got the immense support from online particularly the social media arm Kaushal army which has even done walkathon and other public campaigns to garner support. All these seem to have worked in favour of Kaushal and made him the title winner.

After the title winner, all eyes are on who is going to be the chief guest for the season 2’s grand finale. Though season 1’s host NTR’s name was heard initially for the chief guest for the grand finale, due to personal loss in NTR’s family and his other commitments have shunned him to grace the show. With this, makers said to have approached Venkatesh and the senior actor given his nod. The final episode said to have come out really well.

After over 111 days, finally, Bigg Boss season 2 has come to an end and the grand finale would be aired on Sunday.

Universal hero Kamal Haasan who is hosting the Tamil Bigg Boss, has invited Vijay Deverakonda to the show.

Actress Kangana Ranaut says she is proud of “Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi”, and is looking forward to its release.”I am extremely proud of this film, portraying a character who empowers and inspires. We have put in our heart, blood and sweat into making this film,” Kangana said in a statement.

The teaser of “Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi”, which captures the life story of Rani Laxmibai, will be released on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.”‘Manikarnika…’ will make each and every Indian proud. I am quite ecstatic to showcase the teaser to everyone on this special occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.”

Produced by Zee Studios and Kamal Jain, “Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi”, directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi, is slated to release on January 25, 2019. Jain said: “The film captures different facets of Rani Laxmibai, who was not only one of the greatest warriors, but also an outstanding human being whose courage resonates with people even today.”

To which, Shariq Patel, CEO Zee Studios, added: “The film celebrates and salutes the extraordinary journey of India’s fiercest warrior queen.”The movie has been in the midst of a controversy ever since the news of Kangana stepping in behind the camera to direct patchwork emerged.

Actor Sonu Sood has walked out of the film owing to his professional commitment towards “Simmba”. However, Kangana hit back at him, claiming he left the movie as he “refused to work under a woman director”.

On his part, Sonu has denied this.

Now, actress Swati Semwal has also quit the project as she was unsure if her role would have been substantial enough following Sonu’s exit from the movie.

The combination of Nagarjuna and Nani has been attracting crowds all over. Devadas got a decent start at the box office with over Rs. 6.5 crore share worldwide on its first day. It held reasonably well on its second day and is set for a decent first weekend.

The film was sold for high prices, which means it will have to do well in its first week as there are big releases lined up in coming weeks.Mani Ratnam’s Nawab that released along with Devadas opened on a very dull note. The word of mouth is encouraging but the collections aren’t. Poor promotions are the reason for dull openings, says the trade.

Last week’s releases tanked at the box office. Nannu Dochukunduvate produced by Sudheer Babu is a disaster at the ticket windows.Vikram starrer Saamy also ended up as a huge disaster. Sailaja Reddy Alludu failed to capitalize on good start and ended up as a failure.

U Turn and Silly Fellows also failed to recover the costs.

Vishal’s upcoming actioner Pandem Kodi 2 will have a simultaneous release in Tamil and Telugu on October 18. Raj Kiran and Vishal are playing father and son again in the film directed by Linguswamy.

Raj Kiran’s character in sequel is as powerful as the original. Trailer starts with a powerful action scene on Raj Kiran and Vishal’s scenes are loaded with more action.Even the female lead character played by Keerthy Suresh has got some masala scenes. Varalakshmi Sharath Kumar in a negative role seems to be the special attraction in this Pandem Kodi setting.

The film is targeted at masses loaded with full on masala elements and lots of action. It could be the film that masses have been craving for.Hopefully, Linguswamy doesn’t go overboard in his aim to repeat the success of the original.
