Creative director Sukumar’s first production venture, ‘Kumari 21F’ made bold actress Hebah Patel an overnight star in Tollywood. She created a sensation with her authentic portrayal of a very bold role. Her bold dialogues and lip locks with Raj Tarun made Hebah the new favorite of Youth. Is the gorgeous actress gearing up for another sensational film?

Hebah has recently signed a film in the direction of ‘Minugurulu’ fame Ayodhya Kumar. She will romance child artiste turned hero Teja Sajja in the film, which has been titled, “Srilakshmi & 24 Kisses”. The interesting title has become a topic of discussion on social media, especially since Hebah is on board.

Buzz in film circles is that Hebah’s character will be very bold in the film and that the title refers to her character’s name. Is she going to kiss the young hero 24 times in the movie? Ayodhya Kumar, who made an unconventional film earlier, would most likely have scripted another unconventional film, and by signing Hebah, he sort of confirmed that it would be a bold attempt.

Despite a roaring opening at marquee, Pawan Kalyan’s landmark 25th film has got a divide talk. With the film’s second half turning out to be a damp squib, the film failed to attract the critics and Pawan’s fans.

However, here is our exclusive – Pawan’s reaction on the mixed talk for Agnyaathavaasi. As per the inside buzz, Pawan is said to be stoic silent over the reaction and doesn’t want anyone to comment as he feels it is too early.

He apparently directed everyone in the team to put maximum efforts in promoting the film till the last day of its run at cinemas and wants to see where the film finally ends. Later on, he is expected to take a final call depending on then situation.

Meanwhile, Pawan is said to be most thankful to audience for their immense love and support that was clearly proved with the thunderous openings across the globe. Surpassing all the non-Baahubali records, the first Day record of Agnyaathavaasi is only next to Baahubali 2.

Already, Pawan had wholeheartedly thanked all the audiences in overseas for their never-ending love for the huge release of his film in over 576-plus locations. Now, he is of the opinion that he is so indebted to all the unconditional love of his fans across the world. He may soon thank all the audiences who watched the film and supported him, film’s makers.

After permitting Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi to have special late night shows from 1 AM to 10 AM from Jan 10th to Jan 17th, Andhra Pradesh state government has announced similar benefit to Balakrishna-starrer Jai Simha which is all set to hit the screens on Jan 12.

In a statement, AP government said, “From Tomorrow (Jan 12, 2018), Jai Simha movie is permitted to screen 24X7 i.e to have special shows from 1 AM to 10 AM. This is applicable till Jan 16, 2018.”

The state government has reasoned that the move is to curb the ‘crowds’ at theatres and to avoid the sale of ‘black tickets’.

AP state government’s decision is expected to help the distributors, buyers of Jai Simha in a big way and this is indeed a feast for Balayya’s die-hard fans. The theatrical rights of the film featuring Nayantara, Hari Priya and Natasha Doshi has been sold at 27 Crore.

Needless to say that this is indeed a Sankranthi gift to Balayya from Chandrababu Naidu.

Creative genius Ram Gopal Varma, who is known for pushing the envelope creatively and unabashedly, is coming up with another sensational project. In the series of making erotic and underworld-based films, Varma has directed internationally popular ‘Adult actress’ Mia Malkova, 25, in his new project, who title is as bold as his vision – “God, Sex and Truth: A Philosophical Treatise Of Mia Malkova”.

The news has been broken by Mia herself by releasing a poster of the film. The other posters that she she has shared from the project gives a glimpse of what to expect from the erotic project shot in Europe. As soon as Mia shared the film’s posters, they started trending on social media, thanks to the famed names of RGV and Mia herself. The trailer will be out on January 16.

Mia is excited that she is the second adult star after Sunny Leone to make debut in Indian entertainment industry.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun, who regards his father Allu Aravind as his most favorite person in the world, celebrated his father’s birthday in a warm manner. He surprised Aravind with a cozy cake cutting arrangement, surrounded by only family members. In the pic, Allu Aravind looks overwhelmed as his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren cheer him as he cuts the cake.

Bunny holds a special place for his father in his heart. Without the planning and support of Aravind, Bunny might not have become what he is today. A proud father and a caring son they are.

The arrival of Agnyaathavaasi meant to set and create many records and also shatter some old ones. Especially one unsure and unthought dream that was made true by Megastar Chiranjeevi last year. That’s with “Khaidi No 150”.

While fans are celebrating #1YearForKhaidiNo150 hashtag on Twitter, there is one more record that one has to look into.That’s nothing but the way Megastar’s 150th film worked out at the box office. The film has collected more than 100+ crores ‘share’ from the box office and that is a sort of records.

“We all didn’t even expect that creating a 100 crores box office record is possible. But true to expectations, Chiranjeevi garu made it true. He’s the real megastar of box office” said Nagarjuna, back then, when businessman Subbirami Reddy hosted a treat for Chiru and Co to celebrate the film’s success.

However, Agnyaathavaasi posed to break this record big time as the film itself got sold for 125 crores at the box office. While the film created a record by getting selling for such a high price, it might fall flat on its face when it comes to recovering it. Looks like Megastar Chiru’s 100 crore share record is super safe as the Pawan Kalyan got starer got a flop talk already.

This senior hero has a habit of procrastinating things for long. He keeps directors waiting and waiting and waiting in the name of ‘perfection’. Even the producers who come forward to make film with him would be kept under ‘observation’. And at the end, he chooses a remake and does a film.

Meanwhile, the directors force to leave his camp and choose other hero, producer. This happened with several directors, producers in the past. Due to this bad experience, not many directors would dare to agree to work with him. Finally, a daring, dashing director has given his nod to work with him. And the scene just repeated.

With this, the director has moved onto another project of himself keeping his film with this senior hero in pause mode. While the director avers that it is very much on, no one knows when exactly it would roll on and what is the exact problem.

When buyers invested exorbitant sums for the theatrical rights of Pawan Kalyan’s “Agnyaathavaasi”, they were confident of PK-Trivikram combo and the lucrative Sankranthi festival season. They thought that collections will be very good in the first week, and land them almost in safe zone irrespective of the talk. But, they have received a huge shock as the film reportedly took a nosedive on the second day itself.

Going by trade reports, after collecting non-Baahubali 2 record 40 Cr share worldwide on the first day, Agnyaathavaasi has witnessed huge drop in collections in the morning and matinee shows today. Generally, collections remain low before the festival but buyers thought PK-Trivikram combo is an exceptional case. However, giving a massive shock to them, the collections today are reportedly very ordinary, both because of pre-festival effect and below par talk. Even hardcore fans of Pawan are staying away from theatres.

Tomorrow, two biggies – Balakrishna’s “Jai Simha” and Suriya’s “Gang” are getting release. If at least one of them receives good talk, it would be a further blow to Agnyaathavaasi and its buyers who are still optimistic of a surge in collections in the next couple of days.

Agnyaathavaasi needs to recover another 85 Cr for break even, so if the film doesn’t hold its ground, it would be a repeat of Mahesh babu’s “SPYder” scenario.
