For the so called 17% slashing of Virtual Print Fee (VPN) rates, exhibitors, distributors and producers of AP, Telangana, Kerala and Karnataka have withdrawn their ‘bandh’ call, but it looks like Tamilnadu folks are not in a mood to agree to that. From March 16th, Tamilnadu theatres are going for a total shutdown until and unless Digital Service Providers announce a timeline to scrap VPF permanently and slash rates drastically for the now.

Not restricted to just this issue, Tamilnadu theatre owners are also demanding the TN state government to scrap the Local Body Entertainment Tax (LBET) as well. In case if Tamil folks go stronger with their bandh call, then definitely the release of Superstar Rajni’s Kaala will get affected big way and there is no way than to postpone the release as they can’t go ahead with the release in other languages without releasing Tamil version.

Coming to Tollywood, we have Bharat Anu Nenu set for April 20th release, Kaala hitting cinemas on April 26th and Naa Peru Surya will dazzle from May 4th. If Kaala postpones the release indefinitely, it will be fine, but if it gets delayed by a week, then the film has to take on Allu Arjun’s movie. What is the scenario be like if Kaala clashes with Surya?

For now there is no plan, however, most theatres have made agreements with the producers of NPS paving way for the film’s biggest release on May 4th. So we have to say that Bharat Anu Nenu will have fantastic two-week run, then some other films could come forward and cash on 20th, and NPS comes as usual on May 4th.

In this situation, definitely, Rajnikanth also wants a solo date to register humongous opening day numbers. So let us see what happens in case of extended bandh and if Kaala has to change the release plans.

“If we don’t sleep with producers and directors, there is no way Telugu girls will get offers here” affirms actress Sri Reddy Mallidi alias Srilekha, who has appeared in films like A Film By Aravind 2, talking about the situation in Tollywood regarding the hyped ‘casting couch’. She says it upright, yes there is casting couch and it is so stronger.

“There are instances where some directors said that a film is stalled after sleeping with him. Some demand that we need to sleep with producer and cameraman also, in order to get the opportunity. In the end, they give a single scene. Even after sleeping with them, Telugu girls are looked down” she stressed, as she spoke about the poor situations flourishing in Tollywood.

She added, “That’s the reason why many Telugu girls don’t come to the industry. That’s why there are not many Telugu heroines here. Only those who get crumpled between the bed sheets will get chances here. I know this is the case about many big heroines but won’t reveal them on camera”. she added.

Talking about her hottest posts on social media where she indulges in huge skin show, Sri Reddy says it is her way to grab attention. “Why wouldn’t I eat well if not for the hottest body? Why would I expose so much skin in my pictures if not to grab chances? But, where are offers for me? They won’t give”, she remarks.

She confirmed that many Telugu heroines are maintaining diet, sexy physique and also getting trained in acting but still our big heroes like Pawan Kalyan or anyone is not offering them a single chance. We have to see how Tollywood responds to her outburst.

From last two days, news got intensified that a senior heroine’s daughter is debuting through one of the most hyped remakes. But finally, the senior heroine herself gave clarity that there is no such thing happening.

Critically acclaimed box office hit “Arjun Reddy” is being used as the launch pad for star hero Vikram’s son Dhruv in Kollywood. He’s already started shooting for this movie and the makers are looking for the girl to reprise the role of Shalini Pandey. From a time, they are failing to find one as many beautiful actresses are rejecting the idea of those kisses and hugs.

Other day it surfaced that former heroine Gauthami’s daughter Subhalaxmi is making her silver screen debut with this film titled “Varma”. While many are thinking that yet another heroine is introducing her successor, Gauthami clarified that there is nothing much. She took to Twitter to clarify, “Taken aback to see news about my daughter’s acting debut. Subhalaxmi is committed to her studies and has no plans for acting now. Thank you all for your blessings on her”.

So for now, there is no girl finalised yet to romance Varma.

Whether it is slipping into two-pieces on the silver screen and finding herself in sexy pieces of lingerie for magazine shoots, curvaceous Bollywood siren Vaani Kapoor always sounds tall. And as she unveils her oomph factor again for this month’s Maxim Magazine.

Four years ago when Vaani splashed her hotness on cover pages of Maxim and FHM, we’ve noticed her innate charms that could squeeze hearts. Even now, she exudes similar sex appeal as she slips into a designer bra and flaunts her sleek body. Undoubtedly she is weaving that mystic magic despite the fact that she’s yet to see a box office success.

Though Vaani got super attention from movies like Shudh Desi Romance and for her uber hot appearance in Befikre, a blockbuster is eluding her, thereby depriving her some big offers. We have to see if these photo shoots will do any luck to her.

At least if Nani’s “Aha Kalyanam” had been a hit, Vaani would have tested her fortunes in Tollywood.

Actress Srilekha aka Sri Reddy Mallidi has taken the internet by a storm with her outburst on Telugu film Industry where she accused that many hardworking legends like Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu are now not taking care of Telugu native girls. Confirming that casting couch is quite prevalent here, she demanded what is Pawan Kalyan doing to Telugu girls.

“Pawan Kalyan sir, you die so much for Telugu language and these days you’re talking about it a lot. But you get non-Telugu heroines like Praneetha or someone else to sizzle in your films. You bring non-Telugu villains and technicians. Why don’t you make films with all Telugu people sir? Please help us. We’re in a poor situation. You give chances to Telugu girls such that it will inspire others” she said, demanding that Telugu biggies should change their mindset big time.

Talking more about non-state actresses, she questions, “Why our industry’s happening heroes need only busy heroines like Samantha or Tamanna? They have already dozens of films in their kitty. Why don’t you give us a chance? We are also fair, hot and we can act, but still, you don’t give us chances”.

Giving a clarity to Pawan Kalyan fans, she added, “I’m not blaming Pawan sir on his personal stuff or I don’t want to talk about his role as a politician. But being a film industry person who likes the Telugu language a lot, I would request him to help Telugu girls. Like he fights for the special status of AP, he should fight for us also. I will bow to your feet if you could stand for us, sir”.

Will Pawan Kalyan pay heed to this request? As he stated that he’s already quit the job as an actor, will his production ventures see Telugu girls as heroines? Or how will PK fans react to this actress as she mentioned about the repercussions she has to face like a Kathi Mahesh for touching Pawan’s topic? Let’s see!!

With sexy hip and sizzling looks, once upon a time, Ileana D’cruz ruled the Telugu industry. She acted with almost all the star heroes. But slowly, she lost her charm in Tollywood and made a move to Bollywood, where almost all of her films turned out to be disasters. She has been on news for the past few months, either for her controversial statements or spicy photographs.

Again, she took the limelight by giving a warning to a reporter in a recent press meet. Busy with the promotional activities of her upcoming Bollywood flick Raid at the moment, which stars Ajay Devgan in the lead, she’s touring various places. As a part of movie promotions, she interacted with the media and during the meet, one of the over-enthusiastic reporters fumbled by introducing her as Ileana D’Souza rather Ileana D’Cruz. That fumbling about her surname often happened with many, but this time she’s hurt. The reporter didn’t stop there, and invited Ajay Devgan with a prefix, ‘Superstar’, where he called Ileana with just her name.

Soon, the actress took the mic and told the reporter that he must know all the things in detail, as mixing up of names is quite embarrassing for them. Some felt that Ileana might have got angry really because for addressing Ajay as a superstar and not giving her any such superlative prefix.

Or should we look at this as an unexpected promotional tactic being used to garner hype for “Raid”?
