Despite scoring only flops, somehow the lack of talented fresh faces is making filmmakers opt for seniors like Tamanna and Kajal Agarwal. That’s the reason these hotties are having some more films in their kitty while none of their recent performance is not so impressive.

Despite losing her crown status to other newcomers, milky siren has films of Kalyan Ram, Sandeep Kishan and Queen remake in hand. Cut to this most awaited remake, Telugu version ‘Queen’ is being helmed by director Neelakanta along with the Malayalam version. We are hearing a disturbing report about this film.

For the sake of getting freshness to the scenes, we hear that Tamanna is actively involving in the script and asking the director to approach each scene in a different way. While Neelakanta himself is known for his new style of filmmaking, it seems like the heroine’s interference in his work didn’t go well.

Some unconfirmed reports are indicating that uncomfortable Neelakanta walked out of this project while he will be carving Malayalam version remake with Manjima Mohan. We have to see if there will be any official comment about this.

Dances,Costumes,And locations. These three ingredients always make to the core in any of Allu Arjun’s songs. But these days, he is taking extra care of dances, looks and locations. He’s always trying to bring something new to the table.

Currently working on “Naa Peru Surya Naa Illu India”, we hear that Allu Arjun is now working out another interesting song for his fans. This time he’s picking a new costume, location and also a new choreographer for one particular song composed by Vishal-Sekhar duo. In all likelihood, this song will be shot in Paris by international dance choreographers, while costumes will be shopped in Europe by Bunny and his designer.

In Julayi, we have Bunny picking costumes from Dubai and also shooting there. For S/o Satyamurthy, Sarrainodu and DJ as well, he went to various international destinations to pick songs. In Racegurram he amazed viewers with dubstep dance movement. In Sarrainodu we got various mass dance moves while DJ got a touch from Bollywood dance masters. Cut to visuals, while a couple of S/o Satyamurthy songs were shot in Europe, for Sarrainodu they went to Bolivia and Abu Dhabi was the backdrop for some DJ songs.

And Bunny will bring that versatility to a stylish song yet again.

Kajol, one of the very few actresses who has had a long run in Bollywood, claims that her success is a result of her dedication and discipline. The DDLJ actress credits the discipline that she has inculcated to her mother, who made her even clean bathroom.

For the starters, Kajol is the daughter of yesteryear actress Tanuja, one of the top actresses of the 70s. Despite being born in an opulent family and having many servants at their home, Kajol, when she was a kid, was made to sweep the house and clean the bathroom by her mother.

‘My mother taught me to look after myself and the house if at some point, I don’t have servants in my house. Even, I’ve made my kids broom the house to teach them that nobody’s job is less,’ Kajol said.

The actress is quite excited about acting alongside her favorite co-star, Shah Rukh Khan in yet another film. She plays a special role in SRK’s upcoming film, ‘Zero’.

After facing severe criticism from audience as well as her hardcore fans for her looks in “Katamarayudu”, Shruti Haasan is back to her best self. Even though she defended her looks then, reports emerged that she had taken the criticism seriously and started taking the services of a noted Cosmetic Dermatologist to get back her ravishing looks.

The ‘Gabbar Singh’ beauty has now revealed the doctor who reportedly healed her. Sharing a selfie, that also features famous dermatologist, Rashmi Shetty, Shruti thanked her for taking care of her skin and hair. The glow in her make-up less face is clearly visible.

We have learnt that besides Shruti Haasan, many top actresses are the customers of Dr. Rashmi Shetty. Talk about the background preparation actresses of this generation do to look their best on screen!

Meanwhile, speculations are rife that Shruti plans to marry her English boyfriend soon and pursue a career in international music industry.

Who is called star hero and star director? Definitely, these kinds of celebs deliver minimum guarantee films for the box office. Whether their films release in a group or during the non-festival season, they will score well. Of late, many stars are however losing such tag.

We have very few star directors who are dependable in case if one needs a hit. The likes of Rajamouli, Vinayak, Sukumar, Trivikram, Sreenu Vaitla are in this ‘safe group’ that always delivers a viable product. But Vaitla moved out of this zone due to pick same routine stories. Though Vinayak delivered some flops, he’s still lauded for coming up with mass films that will work in B & C centres. Sukumar’s 1 Nenokkadine is the only big bouncer but otherwise, he’s okay. What about Trivikram?

Right from the beginning, Trivikram’s film stood out for their brilliant writing though they fell flat at box office sometimes. However, by delivering movies like Jalsa, Julayi, Attarintiki Daredi S/O Satyamurthy and A..Aa in a row, he proved that he’s that Mr Dependable. However, he’s looking like moving out of the safe group if we look at the result carefully.

Forget Agnyaathavaasi result, even before we have A..Aa that made huge money but still, the producers made only fewer profits. Though Attarintiki Daredi is an industry hit at that time, the profits gained by producers are not so high. All this is due to the high making costs involved in those movies. When fruits are not being enjoyed by the stakeholders, how will Trivikram stay as a safe director by investing so much into production?

For Facebook posts and memes he might be a god, but still, trade of his films is little worrying. Now Agnyaathavaasi woes will only add salt to those wounds.

Here comes the final card from the deck of Agnyaathavaasi makers. They have just announced that the withheld scenes featuring senior hero Venkatesh’s special appearance in the film will be added to the film from tomorrow.

They have released the making video of Venky and Pawan dubbing together for that particular scene in the presence of Trivikram. The video looks quite humorous, will the original be as humorous on the big screen too? Will it make any impact as the film has already been written off? Most importantly, who will bear the entire spineless film just for the sake of a few minutes cameo?

We hear that makers have decided to chop off a couple of scenes from the theatrical version besides adding scenes featuring Venkatesh. The new version will be played in all the theatres that screen the film from tomorrow. It needs to be seen if the final effort of Agnyaathavaasi makers can add any benefit to the already dead horse?

After taking a non-Baahubali record opening on Day 1, Pawan Kalyan’s highly expected family entertainer, ‘Angyaathavaasi’ crashed on Day 2 itself, sending shivers across trade.

The Pawan Kalyan-starrer collected a paltry 4 Cr share with approx 7.5 Cr gross on Thursday, Day 2, and took its 2 days total share from the Telugu states to 30.24 Cr (about 45 Cr gross). The second day share is more than 80 percent lower than the first day’s, 26.25 Cr approx.

The film’s performance is no better outside the Telugu states either. After grossing a record 60 Cr on first day, Agnyaathavaasi added a mere 10 Cr to take its two days worldwide gross to about 70 Cr. Poor talk has visibly taken a bigger than expected toll on the overall collections.

Below is the area-wise break-up of share:

Nizam – 7,32,00,000
Ceded – 3,90,00,000
Nellore – 1,75,00,000
Guntur – 4,06,12,971
Krishna – 2,14,66,117
West – 3,82,61,965
East – 3,04,19,415
Uttharandhra – 4,20,00,000

Total 2 days AP & TS Share – 30.24 Cr (Gross – 45 Cr)
Total 2 days worldwide Share – 45 Cr (Gross – 70 Cr)

In US also, the Trivikram directorial crashed on second day, collecting just USD 40K. The current total stands USD 1.72 million.

Distributors will be incurring huge losses if the film doesn’t pick up during the festival holidays.

With his latest film, SPYder all set to have its worldwide TV premiere on Jan 14, fans are worried that the embarrassment caused by ‘Brahmotsavam’ might repeat.

Mahesh’s penultimate release, “Brahmotsasvam” became such a huge disaster at box office that movie lovers didn’t show interest to watch the Srikanth Addala directorial on even TV. As a result, the family drama fetched an embarrassingly low TRP Rating – 7.52, which is too low for the standards of Mahesh. In comparison, “Srimanthudu” recorded almost three times better TRP Rating than Brahmotsavam’s – 21.8

As SPYder became a bigger disaster than Brahmotsavam, fans are worried about its reception on TV on the eve of its world premiere. If this film also repeats the utterly poor performance of Brahmotsavam, the satellite rights business of Mahesh’s upcoming films may also take a huge hit besides putting Brand Mahesh at stake.

SPYder will be premiered on TV on January 14, this Sunday. Ravi Teja’s “Raja The Great” and Sharwanand’s “Mahanubhavudu” will also be premiering on the same day. NTR’s “Jai Lava Kusa” will debut on TV one day ahead, on Jan 13. If SPYder fares poorer than these films, it would be much more embarrassing for Mahesh.

Even though Dil Raju doesn’t have any involvement in a film, he can still raise its value in trade just with his association with the film as a Distributor. The makers of a small film are now excited the ace filmmaker has agreed to release their film in Nizam area.

Sarabha, an upcoming socio-fantasy film will be distributed in Nizam by Dil Raju. Featuring senior actress Jaya Prada in a crucial role, Sarabha boasts of extensive VFX. The film has been ready for release since a long time, but the makers have been in search of good release date and big distributors who can assure decent release. As Dil Raju has now come on board, makers plan to release the film next month. Dil Raju, who has the track record of scoring big hits with small films, is confident of the success of Sarabha.

Meanwhile, after a super successful 2017, Dil Raju is likely to receive a massive jolt at box office with “Agnyaathavaasi”. Reportedly, he acquired the Nizam rights for a whopping Rs 29 Cr, and the film is predicted by trade analysts to incur him huge loss.
