Mahesh Babu’s bearded look has gone viral on the internet. Fans are thrilled to see Mahesh Babu going for a different look that he has been sporting since Takkari Donga days.Previously, many directors have asked Mahesh to go for a different look, but the superstar was happy with his usual look.

Finally, Vamsi Paidipalli is able to convince Mahesh to sport a bearded look. Coincidentally it is also Mahesh’s twenty fifth film as the lead.So why is Mahesh sporting beard in #Mahesh25? What is the character that he is playing in it?According to the buzz, Mahesh is playing an MBA student in the film. The college episode will last for thirty minutes and Mahesh will be seen in the bearded avatar in it.

Vamsi has planned to shoot the college episode at the beginning and the remaining part will have Mahesh sporting his usual getup.Mahesh’s look for the student getup has been finalized, but the first look will only be unveiled on the eve of Mahesh’s birthday (Aug 9).

Meanwhile, superstar will be attending Sammohanam audio launch tomorrow for fans to have a clear view at his new look.

By the end of the 90s, former heroine Nagma almost lost her stardom and is appearing only in some routine movies. And then, she took one daring decision which made her a sought-after queen for a while. And it looks like even Kajal wants to follow it.

Nagma appeared as a leading lady in her last Telugu movie in 1997 and later picked up ‘Attha’ kind of roles in 2002. Later she moved to Bhojpuri movies and has been part of a dozen movies. She became a queen there and the highest paid actress as well. It looks like Kajal also wants to emulate the same.

Whenever a star hero or a big hero is not finding a heroine, then they are paying a bomb to Kajal to get her onboard. But that phase is also getting over now, as many young heroines are grabbing those offers. With only two Telugu films in hand, Kajal is now going to Punjabi industry to maker her debut.

A born Punjabi, it will not be tough for Kajal to rock there, and one has to appreciate her for choosing a tinsel town up north to debut after nearly 14 years of acting career down south.

Some heroes shot to fame just with a couple of films but it takes hefty hard work to stay there. The classic example is Uday Kiran, Nani and Raj Tarun, who have shot to fame with their initial movies.

While Nani went on to become a top star, other two have slowed down later and one is no more while the other one is trying to prove his mettle. And now, hero Vijay Devarakonda has shot to enormous fame with Pelli Choopulu and Arjun Reddy, and the onus lies on him to prove that he’s a dependable star.

Though this energetic hero was expected to heat up summer with “Taxiwala”, somehow the film got postponed. And the talk is that it will be taking a month or so to hit the cinemas. And Vijay’s another film that is being directed by Parasuram is also ready now, and that romantic entertainer is likely to hit cinemas a month later. And then in the next months, they will be followed by Tamil-Telugu bilingual NOTA and another young director’s Dear Comrade too.

Amongst all these films, Vijay is hoping that at least two will become blockbusters such that his position will be strengthened at the box office. And if that happens for sure, then he will have no reason to look back. Let’s see what happens.

Whenever a celebrity goes out, surely his/her appearances at every place will be scrutinised by fashion critics. And fans also want to take inspiration from their favourite stars when it comes to donning outfits. That’s why even Airport looks of celebs are pretty crucial.

Cut to Telugu heroes, there are very fewer heroes who maintain certain swag when it comes to managing that fashion quotient. Here is an interesting discussion going on one of the young heroes, mega menalludu, Sai Dharam Tej. Apparently this hero is trying to make his fashion-mark by wearing the simple kurta-pyjama at almost all the events these days.

Netizens say that it is boring to see him mimicking Pawan Kalyan by wearing that kurta-pyjama outfit all the time. To promote a film in which he has done a love story, probably clothes that resemble the character he played inside the film are best suited to the occasion, a fashion critic commented.

However, fans of the young hero are feeling happy that he’s following in the footsteps of Pawan and wearing the khadi outfits all the time. Even Ram Charan has donned such kurtas for a while, but later he started wearing them as per the occasion, rather all the time.

Director Krish is that one man who could pull a miracle and that’s what both Bollywood and Tollywood believe. Despite using visual effects and a terrific historical subject to deal with, he wrapped Gautamiputra Satakarni in record time and that’s what he got shot to huge popularity.

For his next film Manikarnika, he got hottie Kangana Ranaut on board to play the lead, while there are many other hot TV serial actresses who are making their debut. All of them said one thing that ‘Krish sir’s conviction’ made us join the film. And now it sounds like he’s using the same conviction to get actresses on board for NTR’s biopic too.

All these days, talented actress Vidya Balan who is known more for her naughty roles is thinking twice to sign the prestigious biopic of late CM and numero uno hero NT Rama Rao. But with Krish jumping into the scene after Teja left the project, it looked like she’s in much more doubts. However Krish has given a terrific narration of how the film is going to be like and in no time she signed the dotted line, says a source.

Vidya Balan will be playing the role of NTR’s deceased first wife Basava Tarakam who has the huge influence on his life, their children’s future and also the way some of the important decision’s in the people’s leader life are made. Directed by Krish, NTR features his son Balakrishna playing the titular role.

Going by her glamorous looks, one says, where the hell is she, if not doing some big star films of Telugu industry? But the fact is, hottie Avantika Mishra has no Telugu films in hand. After debuting with Neelakanta’s Maaya, she did two more Telugu films including Meeku Meere Maaku Meme and Vysakham. Had one of those three films turned a hit at box office, her fate would have got changed big time. No matter what, Avantika, however, enjoys stunning craze on social media.

If you look at her latest photoshoots, her saucy looks and adorable curves are just going to evaporate the whole of monsoon rain. We have to say that she’s underrated as a glamorous diva of such ravishing looks will easily find many offers in her kitty.

Some say that Tollywood goes by the fact how a film did at the box office and if that heroine’s role grabbed the attention or not. If it gets attention, no matter if she’s a glamorous diva or not, she will get offers poured.

A new video of Janhvi Kapoor from her photo shoot for Vogue India magazine is out and Janhvi is the perfect blend of innocence and sensuality. Janhvi looked every bit a summer princess in a pale blue and purple printed dress.The pictures from the shoot were out in May-end, but here is the video version of it.

Needless to say, Janhvi looks even better than her still images. She channels her inner diva with aplomb. There is glamour, there is innocence and there is loads of attitude as she teases her viewers.Few minutes into the video, she introduces herself, saying: “Hi guys, this is Janhvi Kapoor and welcome to my first-ever Vogue shoot.”

Some of her expressions will remind you of her mother Sridevi — that coquetry is intact and so is the mischief in the eyes.

The teaser of ‘Aatagallu’ featuring Nara Rohith and Jagapathi Babu in the lead roles is out. This is a murder mystery and sets the proceedings quite interesting.As per the visuals, Nara Rohith is playing the role of a star actor in the movie and comes up with some intense performance while Jagapathi plays an advocate and is at his usual best in subtle manner.

“Aata Nuvvu Modalu Pettav, Nenu Finishing Isthanu” dialogue by Jagapathi implies it is going to be an intense battle between two terrific actors.Written and directed by Paruchuri Murali, Darshana Banik is playing the female lead role. Background music by Sai Kartheek compliments well with the puzzling teaser.

Friends Movie Creations banner is producing ‘Aatagallu.’

The trailer of Sudheer Babu and Aditi Rao Hyderi’s ‘Sammohanam’ gave us the impression that the film will focus a lot on Telugu film industry as the female lead is a movie star.Aditi Rao has played the role of a movie star while Sudheer Babu did the role of a commoner who hates movies.

However, director Indraganti Mohan Krishna says the film doesn’t focus much on the glamour world.It dwells on workings of the movie industry for less than 20 minutes and the rest is on the romantic track between the lead pair, he revealed during the movie’s promotional interviews.It has also been widely speculated that the film is a copy of ‘Notting Hill’, a British blockbuster starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.

‘Notting Hill’ is all about this: “The life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world.” But Indraganti says he got the idea for ‘Sammohanam’ when he met a guy who hates movie world while filming his earlier movie ‘Golconda High School’.Whether he is telling truth or lies will be known on June 15, when the film hits the screens.

NTR and Charan signed up a movie in their favourite director Rajamouli’s direction, fondly titled #RRR. They were friends and will be, but their bond is now visible to fans and admirers through the social media posts and pictures of these star heroes. The latest picture among them is that shared by Tarak on his timeline wherein Charan and NTR senior were in the same frame, probably at Jr NTR’s house.

NTR shared the picture quoting it “Provoked by LEGENDARY thoughts”. Let us see what Charan posts next.

Sometime back, there was a 2-page full interview of actor Vijay Devarakonda in a leading English daily.Nothing wrong in that, except that this daily sells 90 percent of its space which means even Mahesh, Ram Charan or Jr NTR, have to fork out money to promote their films at the time of release in this newspaper.

Therefore, Tollywood biggies were shell-shocked to see this free interview of Vijay Devarakonda and that too in two full pages.Naturally, they were angry at this preferential treatment being meted out. But little do they know about the clout that Devarakonda has with this newspaper.

When his film Arjun Reddy released, it got a rating of 2.25 on that newspaper’s portal which was subsequently changed to 4/5.Also, he was one of the hosts for an awards ceremony belonging to the same newspaper. Need one say more?
