A few months ago, Pawan Kalyan left everyone with a lot of amusement by naming his son as Mark Shankar Pavanovich. With just one announcement, he shed all the rumours away about his separation from Megastar Chiranjeevi and proved that he always has immense love and respect towards his elder brother.

Since then, everyone is eagerly waiting to know, the reaction of his family members about the name and now Ram Charan finally opened up about it. Responding on this, Charan shared that everyone was moved with gesture and became emotional. “Usually, people keep their grandmother’s or grandfather’s name, but Kalyan Babai put Dad’s name to my younger brother and showcased how much he loves his Big brother. This gesture made us stunned and everyone in the family turned emotional” he commented.

Decoding the newborn’s name, Marcus is a very popular name among Christians and is taken from the god Mars. Shankar comes from Megastar Chiranjeevi’s original name, Siva Shankara Vara Prasad while Pawanovich is derived from PK’s name.

On the other hand, Pawan visited Chiru’s home other day to wish Ram Charan on his birthday and proved that no one can ever separate them. It seems the political and personal lives are two different sides of the coin for them.

The recent objectionable comments made by one of the popular Telugu news channel’s show-host have received a lot of backlash from people on social media. Now, actors and actresses from Tollywood are busy warning the media to show some respect towards the Film Industry.

Actors like Rakul Preet Singh, Nani, Manchu Lakshmi, director Harish Shankar and many others condemned the use of vulgar words and calling many heroines of soliciting. And now, comedian Ali also joined the fray. While his statements grabbed attention, he received a lot of criticism for that ‘flashback’ thing.

Ali stated that he won’t tolerate this kind of cheap statements on women, especially from Tollywood. “As the comments are made by a media personnel, we are staying silent. Otherwise, his hands and legs would have got chopped by now. Media and Celebs should behave like wife and husband, and settle disputes between the four walls. Had he made such comments in neighbouring Tamilnadu or other states, the reactions would have been different”, said Ali.

But people are asking Ali to mind his own words before advising that media guy. If you remember, the actor made some ‘masala’ comments on many actresses and compared Samantha’s waist with Benz Circle in the past. Also, he passed objectionable comments on Anushka’s thighs too.

Social media is buzzing that Ali forgot his past and suddenly turned into the saint and started preaching. Some say the cheap comments made by Ali and others might have inspired folks like that journalist to further degrade Tollywood.

Even his cousins, uncle, and wife are quite social media savvy, but the popular mega hero chose to avoid it. He is none other than Ram Charan. The actor is currently busy with the promotional activities of his next Rangasthalam, which is a Sukumar directorial and slated to release the day after tomorrow on March 30.

Fact is that Ram Charan doesn’t own any social media account other than the Facebook page being managed by a team. But the actor shocked everyone with his recent statements as he makes a stunning revelation. His wife Upasana is quite active on social media and posts the pictures of her Mega husband every now and then. In a recent interview, when Charan is quizzed about the same, he revealed that he is quite aware of the posts of Upasana. But how?

He secretly follows on social media. “I own a social media account with some different name, which even Upasana don’t know. I do follow what Upasana and other fans are talking about me” he said. Well, do you have any guesses what can be Ram Charan’s social media account handle name?

Released during the Sankranthi holidays, Agnyaathavaasi not only ended up as the biggest disaster in Tollywood’s history, but also became a blot in Trivikram’s illustrious career and his reputation as an intellectual filmmaker. But keeping the Agnyaathavaasi nightmare aside, Trivikram is currently working on NTR’s movie.

Recently, Trivikram’s absence at the pre-release event of his latest home production ‘Chal Mohan Ranga’ gave rise to many rumours. Naturally, everyone wondered if Trivikram was yet to come out of Agnyaathavaasi’s aftershock. But Chal Mohan Ranga’s hero Nithiin revealed the main reason behind Trivikram skipping the event.

Nithiin said during his latest interview that Trivikram had initially confirmed his presence at Chal Mohan Ranga’s event. However, on the evening, the star director sent him a message saying that he is suffering from severe cold and cough and that he cannot attend the event. Well, that should put an end to all the speculations.

Pre-release event in Vizag. No Amaravathi. No Vijayawada. That’s how the venue of the much hyped pre-release event of Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film “Bharat Anu Nenu” is getting changed. But it looks like the Superstar is upset with all the politics that are going around this venue selection.

Many big stars these days are actually going to Vizag for pre-release events as all other promotional events take place in Hyderabad only. That way they are covering two Telugu states. But recently a feeling is lit in Andhra region that one particular Minister is encouraging more Vizag and less other places in AP. Though some events took place in Guntur, Tirupathi and Amaravathi as well, few political leaders have created a feeling that Vizag is getting highlighted.

For that reason, there is huge pressure on Mahesh to shift Bharat Anu Nenu pre-release to Amaravathi or Guntur or Vijayawada. But with those people involved in finalising the venue fighting among themselves to finalise one among these three places around Vijayawada, Mahesh is said to have got vexed. And he made a final call, they say.

On April 7th, the pre-release event of Bharat Anu Nenu will be held in Hyderabad only unlike any other venue that is in talk all these days. We hear that Mahesh said NO to all the politics around a venue and he wants it to be a pure filmy event.

Ravi Teja has been on a signing spree. He’s currently completing Nela Ticket. In April, the Mass Maharaja will be flying to America to join Sreenu Vaitla’s Amar Akbar Anthony. He also has a film with VI Anand. And then there’s the Kandireega fame Santhosh Srinivas’ movie.

The Ravi Teja-Santhosh Srinivas movie will be an action entertainer. Now, we are exclusively learned that the Mass Maharaja will be romancing two young actresses in the movie. Keerthy Suresh and Catherine Tresa are said to have been roped in as the leading ladies opposite Ravi Teja.

While Keerthy Suresh plays the main female lead, Catherine Tresa too has a crucial part in the movie. Mythri Movie Makers, the banner that’s producing Amar Akbar Anthony, will also produce the Ravi Teja-Santhosh Srinivas project from late summer.

For the past many years, Pakistani actresses have been struggling to prove their mettle and carve their identities in Bollywood. While only a few have succeeded but many failed to do so and some landed in controversies unknowingly. One such actress is Mahira Khan who debuted with Shahrukh’s Raees and she is again on news for her habit.

In the past, this married hottie faced a lot of criticism for smoking in public and the clothes she wore that time. That time, she had faced a lot of backlash from her Pak community especially and rumours about her alleged relationship with Ranbir Kapoor spread like wildfire. At that time Mahira is seen puffing out smoke outside a hotel in New York.

Again, she did something like that. The actress recently attended an award event and few have captured a video when she is seen smoking publicly. Mahira tried to cover the cigarette, but the damage has already done with sharp lenses catching her act. As soon as the video got uploaded on social media, it went viral and people have started trolling her for these acts, calling it anti-religious.

While many have been criticizing her, there are few, who are extending support to this Raees actress, saying it’s her personal decision to smoke or not.

Few hotties including Anushka Sharma and Samantha kept their marriage under the wraps for a while and finally, they have flown out to a special destination to tie the knot. Treading on a similar path, even Shriya Saran also married her Russian boyfriend recently. Here comes an interesting snippet about her.

Like the above said actresses, even Shriya is wishing to continue her career post getting married. That’s the feelers she has sent all these days. But things have taken a new turn post the marriage and she went to Russia to be with her in-laws for a month. Guess what, a Telugu film team that is waiting for her dates is now saying that she’s not even picking their phone calls.

Actually, Shriya is supposed to romance Venkatesh in “F2”, which has Varun Tej as another lead and being directed by Anil Ravipudi. While the makers already got dates of everyone and waiting to go for the shoot, it’s heard that they are finding tough to get Shriya on the line. As the actress is not picking calls, it’s understood that she will not be available until she’s back in India.

Producer Dil Raju doesn’t’ want to waste dates of others for Shriya and he’s said to have approached milky siren Tamanna already to romance Venky. While the hottie gave her nod, they are yet to finalise the remuneration. Mehreen is romancing Varun Tej in this film.
