“Show your art and confidently grab offers, why do you want to sell yourself? Don’t blame the film industry, it is our mother like a place” asked senior choreographer guru Saroj Khan. Apparently, her comments are now stoking new debates in Bollywood as well as in Tollywood.

“It’s on top of the girl who wanted to do it or not. Casting couch is there in all places including government. But the film industry is the place that gives food even after any such thing happens, unlike other places where they just rape and leave” she added further. The three-time National Award winning choreographer surely raised fumes with her comments, while some are agreeing with what she said.

While some heroines like Ileana and Richa Chaddha are saying that career in Bollywood will get ended if they talk about casting couch, some heroines like Rakul are of the feeling that there is no such thing called casting couch in any film industry they have been. On a whole, this looks like people have different opinions on this happening and one can’t generalize it.

Cut to Sri Reddy thing, for now, neither media nor she is holding any special talks on this from hour to hour and at the same time, no cases are registered so far in this issue. We have to see how Tollywood will respond to Saroj Khan’s comments.

Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Vanga is regularly hanging out with Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan these days.Mahesh Babu generally doesn’t invite any film personality into his inner group so easily. But he developed good friendship with Sandeep Vanga after watching “Arjun Reddy” as Mahesh believes that Arjun Reddy is true cinema made with much passion.

He asked the director to ready the script and agreed to work in his direction. Although the director has already narrated the storyline, he has not developed it into full script.It takes another two or three months to be ready with bound script. However, Mahesh Babu may not dole out dates for Sandeep Vanga till the end of 2019.

As per sources, Mahesh Babu-Vamshi Paidipally’s film will be released in early 2019. Then he will move on to Sukumar’s film that would begin around the same time.Sukumar takes a minimum of eight months to finish his film. That will take up most of 2019. Sandeep Vanga will have to wait for Mahesh Babu for another 18 months.

Sources reveal that after narrating complete script to Mahesh Babu, he will ask Mahesh to do a small film with new cast meanwhile.Sandeep has plans to do a movie while the superstar works on Sukumar’s movie.More clarity will come shortly.

The twitter war by power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan against the pro-Telugu Desam Party media houses and individuals continued on Tuesday, too, with the actor threatening to drag everybody who targeted him to court of law.

“We will be sending legal notices to these TDP-backed media channel heads, their shareholders and investors and their board too. We will give them sufficient time to respond,” Pawan said in his morning tweet.

He said a lot of interesting names from reputed families, politicians, media barons, and their kids will come out in due course of time.

“The ugly nakedness of our society will come out. If you all could encourage to strip a ‘sister’ and made a show, then this will be mother of all shows,” he warned.

Obviously, he was referring to stripping of aspiring actress Sri Reddy, who raised a banner of revolt against casting couch in the Tollywood and took several names in the industry, creating a lot of sensation.

But, it was interesting to see Pawan calling Sri Reddy as his sister, though she abused him in a filthy language, dragging his mother into the abuse. And this led to the whole revolt by Pawan in the last few days.

Pawan also declared that he was contemplating requesting the Telangana police for an investigation into the six-month slander campaign.

“I am for sure all the names of these characters, both men and women, who came out to malign me will be eventually lead to Amaravati,” he said, suspecting that it was Telugu Desam Party chief and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu who was behind the slanderous campaign against Pawan.

He also continued to take a dig at TV9 promoter Srini Raju. He wondered how Raju had allowed objectionable content in TV9 channel of which he was the major owner.

“You are a board member and benefactor of globally reputed ISB which has strict rules for discrimination and indecency. Please hold the dignity of such premier institutions,” he said.

Kathi Mahesh who has been venting rant against Powerstar Pawan Kalyan on social media got rude shock.

He has become popular with his vitriolic comments on Pawan Kalyan on social media but huge numbers of fans have complained to Twitter and Facebook about his personal rants.

Result: his social media accounts were blocked.

The critic turned filmmaker turned studio-hopping analyst is facing severe heat from all.

Like Bollywood’s KRK, his accounts were blocked for using social media platforms for abusing a celebrity.

Now he has created new accounts and again he slams Pawan Kalyan.

The film collects a share of Rs 4.40 Cr on day 4 and 4days total stands at Rs 42.55Cr share with a gross of approx Rs 65Cr across telugu states.

One big disaster has totally changed the fate of director Trivikram Srinivas quite literally. Notwithstanding that he had delivered several blockbusters in the past, post debacle of Agnyaathavaasi, he has been under severe criticism and immense pressure.

Inside buzz is that Trivikram is “compromising” a lot for his ongoing film with Jr NTR. Since Trivikram is not in ‘success’, as per industry norms, he is said to be ‘compromising’ a lot on several things. Be it in casting (Initially considered Anu Emmanuel has been replaced) or in other aspects, he is said to be going against wish.

Apparently, Trivikram isn’t liking this phase of career. Since he had delivered several hits in the past,  just one major flop is taking a toll on him.

Let’s hope that Trivikram would once again prove himself and bounce back with his ongoing NTR-Haarika & Hassine Creations film. After all, he is the ‘Wizard of Words’.

Cute and beautiful actress Kriti Kharbanda never really got a big success in Telugu, though she acted with a star like Pawan Kalyan. Luck did not go in favor of her here, but she is one of the busy actresses in Bollywood and Kannada now.

Kriti has been posting her stunning and sexy pictures on her Insta account lately, in which this one is an absolute stunner. Kriti posed of in her hottest look ever and sure some ‘meaty’ roles must be on her way already!

Apparently, Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena is slowly making its moves by choosing candidates rather indirectly for many constituencies already. We hear that Pawan might not encourage exodus but some surprising newcomers will be fielded at certain places.

Rumours are mushrooming from Janasena camp that Apollo heiress and actor Ram Charan’s wife Upasana Kamineni might get into active politics soon. As she’s already well versed in charity works as she handles the Apollo group’s CSR wing. And buzz has that she will be joining Janasena and will contest as an MP.

Billionaire businessman joining political parties and getting fielded as MPs is not new in any party but what is to be seen where will Upasana contest from. Actually, she’s grown up in Chennai and shuttles between Hyderabad and Mumbai now. So picking up a right parliamentary constituency in Andhra Pradesh would be a daunting task for sure.

Actually Apollo Pratap Reddy didn’t pledge political allegiance to any party and they are known for generously funding all the political parties. Now that Upasana is showing interesting to join her uncle’s Janasena, we’ve to see how quickly equations might change in political circles.

We were the first to break the news that Kalyan Ram will be acting in star cinematographer Guhan’s direction. The movie will be launched on April 25. Nivetha Thomas, who romanced NTR in Jai Lava Kusa, no has been roped in as one of the heroines. Arjun Reddy girl Shalini Pandey plays the other female lead in the movie.

In an exclusive update, we have learnt that Guhan has penned a riveting thriller script for Kalyan Ram. Incidentally, this is the first time in his decade long career that Kalyan Ram will be acting in thriller genre. Of late, Kalyan Ram has been coming out of his comfort zone and is experimenting with his stories and this is a welcome change.

A major portion of the shooting will be taking place in Hyderabad and Vikarabad. East Coast Productions banner is producing the movie. The makers are planning to release the film towards the end of this year.

Kiara Advani seems to have charged a bomb for her Tollywood debut Bharat Ane Nenu. Apparently, Kiara charged a whopping Rs 1.25 Crore for Bharat. This is huge for a newcomer in the Telugu industry. Although Kiara is known in Bollywood circuits and is known to Hindi audiences (thanks to Sakshi role in MS Dhoni biopic), she is certainly an unknown face to majority of Telugu moviegoers. Yet the producers have paid a whopping fee for her limited character?

What’s more? Inside talk is director Koratala Siva ran out of Kiara’s dates and needed more dates of her to shoot a few scenes of her. For allotting a few more dates, Kiara said to have charged more to producer than what was she committed to pay. Apparently, Kiara and her team were said to be very keen on the pay and they said to have allotted the additional dates for Bharat only after the promise of the balance payment from the production house. This is a rarity in Telugu to pay additional for newcomers in Telugu.

And above all, after all this, Kiara’s role in the film appears to be very short and sweet. She has very limited screen presence in the film that is filled with Mahesh Babu who shoulders the film from the very beginning to its end. Given this, how come, Kiara has been paid additional for her more dates is a million dollar question. Isn’t it?

If grapevine is anything to go by, Sukumar is charging a bomb for his film with Mahesh Babu and Mythri Movie Makers. Film Nagar talk has it that Sukumar is expecting a staggering Rs 15 Crore as his remuneration for the proposed film with Mahesh and Mythri (Mahesh 26).

Given that he has delivered an industry hit Rangasthalam with Ram Charan and Mythri which has raked in Rs 106 Crore Share world-wide, Sukumar is now one of the most happening directors. For Rangasthalam, Sukumar pocketed the film’s US theatrical rights i.e pegged at Rs 12 Crore.

Hence, for his next with Mahesh and Mythri, Sukumar seems to have hiked Rs 3 Crore remuneration. Since Mahesh is riding high with Bharat success, he too would charge a bomb and increase his fee for sure. Looks like, the budget of Sukumar-Mahesh-Mythri is escalating even before it hit the floors.
