In a first of its kind, India’s top five singers are coming together for a song for the movie ‘Saakshyam.’

Harshavardhan Rameshwar is the music composer of the film and he has roped in singers KJ Yesudas, SP Balasubramanyam, Hariharan, Kailash Kher and Bombay Jayashri for the song.

‘Saakshyam’ is a concept based film on the five elements i.e, Earth, fire, water, air and space. Director Sriwass has come up with this unique plot and he took extreme care about the script.

To engage the audience with the concept, he designed this special song in special way that it describes each element in a distinctive way. Sriwass should be credited for going completely out of the box for the film.

The song has lyrics by Ananth Sriram and it is a situational track unlike the regular commercial numbers that comes at a crucial point in the movie.

‘Saakshyam’ has Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and Pooja Hegde as leads and is releasing on July 20th.

Ranbir Kapoor says it is hard to please his father, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, but her mother Neetu has always been his biggest fan. Ranbir said his father never compliments him and only pushes him to work harder. Rishi, however, recently praised Ranbir’s portrayal of Sanjay Dutt in upcoming biopic, Sanju and the young actor says he was touched by it.

“Besides being my father, he is also an actor I really admire and respect… He never tells me to my face that I’ve done good work, not that I expect it either. But when you hear such words coming from him, it is incredible, it really moved me, made me emotional. “Every father wants his son to do well, but my father is very careful that he won’t give compliments for free. He always tells us ‘kasar reh gayi hai, work harder’ (There is still scope for improvement, work harder)’. This was a wonderful gift,” Ranbir said.

The actor added that his mother loves his performance in all his films. “My mother is my biggest fan, whatever I do she loves. When she saw ‘Bombay Velvet’ she thought it was the greatest film in the world,” he said.

Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, also marks the reunion of Ranbir with his Saawariya co-star Sonam Kapoor after a decade. They both started their career together with the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. “We never got an opportunity to work together again but Sonam is still the same, she hasn’t changed. Her personality is still the same. The only thing which has changed is that she has become an even better actress. Both of us really enjoyed working with each other,” he said. Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Sanju also features Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Dia Mirza and Anushka Sharma. The biopic of Sanjay Dutt is slated for June 29 release.

Responding to the ‘copy’ allegations on his forthcoming film Officer, Nagarjuna has clarified that the film is based on a real-life person and it cannot be copy of any other story or anyone’s work.

When asked about the rumours that the film is a ‘free’make of Hollywood flick Taken, Nag quickly said that the law will take its own course if there is any such legal issue in the film.

Ask him whether Nag had questioned Ram Gopal Varma about his controversies or his tweets. Pat comes reply from Nag. “During the film’s shoot, the only conversation between RGV and Nag is about our film. Nothing more or nothing less. I never intruded into RGV’s personal space or never did he. Even I never let anyone tell me what I should do or what I should not do. In fact, I don’t even tell my children Chaitu or Akhil to be certain way.”

Agreeing that he is doing more films than his grown up sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, Nagarjuna said that Chaitu is telling him that he is doing more films and he need not worry since he is well-established than Chai.

“Chai and Akhil are more choosy. They are very conscious about their films. At this juncture of career, I could select any role or any experimental film since I could survive a flop and could work for my next unaffected. For them, it takes time,” shared Nagarjuna.

Currently working on his ongoing multi-starrer with Nani, Nag revealed that it is going to be out-and-out entertainer as the film is between a Mafia Don and a Doctor. Nag said he has big line up of films that he needs to confirm the order. He says he is mulling over to sign Mohanlal and Priyadarshan’s Kunjali Marakkar, a film based on the life of a 16th century Muslim naval chief Kunjali Makkar IV. It is likely to be Priyadarshan’s most expensive film and Nag has been asked to play a crucial role in the film.

Meanwhile, Nag is also in talks with actor Dhanush’s directorial which he wanted to make for his father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth and his political debut.

What’s happening with Superstar Rajnikanth’s upcoming film “Kaala” which is pending a release from a time. Despite fixing June 7th as a release date, it looks like two big forces are going to stop the mighty hero from going ahead.

Reports have that Censor Board is having some issue with the Hindi version of the movie to go ahead. As the film deals with politics based out of a Mumbai slum, it looks like ruling BJP sarkar is unhappy with the film’s content as Rajni took a political plunge as well into Tamilnadu politics. If that is Hindi version, then Kannada version is not going to see light as the distributors took a call to not release movie owing to tensions between two states over Kaveri issue.

If political force is the first big thing that is posing as a major hurdle for Rajni, the second one is the age-old creature, the mighty dinosaur. Recently the release date of Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom has got advanced by a day in India, and the film is now hitting cinemas on June 7th. Nearly 2300+ screens are going to screen the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and English versions across the country. Some distributors are said to be requesting Rajni to defer the release at least by a day such that Jurassic World will not dent Rajni’s collections.

Though Superstar has the big advantage over Dinosaurs, as his craze is pretty big than any other star, he should at least overcome Censor hurdles to get Kaala bang on target. Let’s see what happens.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s most awaited project “Sye Raa” is the one keeping fans on toes as the film’s shooting is progressing at snail’s pace. Though the shooting is to resume from June 4th, fans are wondering as to why there are no updates coming from the production house.

An interesting buzz is happening in Film Nagar that the unit of the film is not properly utilising the dates of top stars including that of Nayantara. With almost four projects in hand, she’s one of the busiest actresses down south at the moment with immense stardom. But we hear that she’s kept in the wait for weeks, with shooting not taking off.

We hear that after completely Ajith’s Viswasam shooting that took place in Hyderabad a couple of weeks ago, Nayantara has waited for a week for Sye Raa team to call her for the shooting. Bored with the waiting, she left the city to Chennai, to take care of other works. One wonders why director Surender Reddy is not planning schedules in a proper way.

However, Nayantara has allotted dates once again for Sye Raa from June 4th as the shooting is going to start. We hear that she wants to finish this film without any issues as the project is close to her hearth. Because, this project helps her complete the rare opportunity of working with all superstars of the south including Rajnikanth, Mammootty and now Chiranjeevi.

Director Sreenu Vaitla has teamed up with Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja for ‘Amar Akbar Antony.’ This film is being completely canned in the United States and accordingly Vaitla is using high-end technology for the shooting.

‘Amar Akbar Antony’ is the first Telugu film to be shot on Red Monstro and Zeiss Supreme Lenses. The film will have two different seasons of the US and to enhance the visual experience, Vaitla has come up with his thought of using new tech stuff.

The makers say that the visuals are going to be stunning and will thrill the audience for sure.Navel beauty Ileana is sharing the screen with Ravi Teja for the fourth time while Mythri Movie Makers banner is producing ‘Amar Akbar Antony.’

Versatile actor Irrfan Khan was not seen anywhere recently, after he wrote a letter to all revealing about his rare disease. According to earlier reports, the actor has been getting treated for the rare disease and no news is heard about him off-late. All of a sudden, a photographer at Lords stadium, while the test match between England and Pakistan is going on, spotted Irrfan khan in the gallery!!

If the picture is true and latest, Irrfan Khan must be getting well soon and many of his fans are rejoicing his comeback. As if he is trying to hide away from paparazzi, Irrfan appeared in a hoodie and at the time of click, Irrfan is seen looking straight into the lens!

There is no scope for leaving anything as is, in this world of web and quick reactions. A small action might lead to big destruction and that’s what happened other day with producer-director Karan Johar, who is well known to Telugu audiences after he distributed Baahubali and impressed with his speech at the pre-release event.

Other day India’s ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra posted a picture where he posed with Karan Johar and wished him on his birthday. He stated that theirs is 25 years of friendship and wish that it will continue for twenty-five more. And when a netizen commented that these two are ‘cute couple’, Manish liked that comment. There started the rumours.

In no time, it broke out that Manish Malhotra and Karan Johar are dating each other. Though they haven’t officially confirmed any time about their sexual orientation, owing to ban on them in India, the two many times clarified that they are happy with men. And now, that’s the reason people think that they are a couple.

Manish, however, clarified that these rumours of dating are actually hurting and Karan Johar is just a brother to him. “He’s like my brother. We are good friends. There is no such thing called dating. I’m really hurt by such rumours” he said, in a statement to a leading media house. That puts everything at rest.
