He is an upcoming young hero with three blockbusters to his credit. Rumour is that this hero is dating a foreigner, a European girl currently living in Hyderabad.

Interestingly, this hero’s fan following is now being compared with that of Pawan Kalyan and maybe the hero is emulating Pawan Kalyan in terms of attracting youth with his eccentric wardrobe like the way Pawan did in the early part of his career.

Also, Pawan met his current wife Anna in South Africa during the shooting of Teen Maar and fell in love with her.With the young hero now dating a beautiful foreigner, it looks as if he is literally following in the footsteps of Pawan Kalyan.

While Mahesh Babu was away shooting for his next film, his two children celebrated Raksha Bandhan with much enthusiasm.

Mahesh Babu’s wife and actress Namrata said: “We take Raksha Bandhan very seriously in our home. The children have been told of its significance. My son Gautam and daughter Sitara take the ceremonial aspect of Raksha Bandhan very seriously.

“Both Mahesh and I want them to grow up with a healthy regard for tradition and custom. Also, we feel Raksha Bandhan is one occasion when the children get a chance to feel closer to one another. Not that they aren’t already close. But when you celebrate a relationship, you give it an added significance.”

The festival is being celebrated on Sunday.

Four films released on Friday, but none of them could start their box office journey on a decent note.Neevevaro featuring Aadhi Pinishetty and Taapsee was expected to get decent opening, but it didn’t happen. As the film failed to generate good word of mouth from its early shows its collections were further dropped on Saturday.

Other films Aatagallu, Lakshmi and Antaku Minchi are off to a very bad start.Aatagallu couldn’t post decent numbers in spite of saleable stars like Jagapathi Babu and Nara Rohith playing the leads.

New releases totally failed to withstand the Geetha Govindam rampage that is still continuing at the box office across all centers.Geetha Govindam is set to breach the Rs. 50 crore share mark by this Sunday and looking strong enough to cross Rs. 60 crore mark too.

Even super hit film Goodachari also has been affected by Geetha Govindam’s stupendous run. Goodachari could have added some more to its tally if not for Geetha Govindam storm.

Kangana Ranaut is all geared up for her upcoming movie Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.The actor will be seen playing the warrior, Rani Laxmibai, in the movie which also stars Ankita Lokhande among others in pivotal roles.Directed by Krish and written by Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the screenplay for Baahubali franchise, the movie releases on Republic Day next year.

However, the process to assemble the film hasn’t been a cakewalk for Ranaut. The movie has been landing from one controversy to another. Latest, rumour mills suggested that there has been a fallout between Kangana and director Krish after the shoot was forced to get completed without the director as he will be busy with the making of the NTR biopic.

It was rumored that Kangana had to step into the shoes of Krish to make sure the shoot is completed.When Mumbai Mirror asked her about this, Ranaut refuted the rumors saying, “Not true, we speak every day. Krish has another release on January 11, and could give dates only after that.”She added., “After unveiling the first poster on August 15, we had the choice of coming on Republic Day or Independence Day, 2019. We decided to push for the former.

The writers want certain transitional scenes shot before the release, I’ve assured the studio I won’t leave Manikarnika even if it means rescheduling dates and sacrificing personal time.We don’t want to bring another director on board nor do I want to take away anyone’s credit. It’s a huge responsibility, I broke down the other day.”

She added that she has decided to take one day at a time and do what she can do.
