In what could be a major relief and welcome move to the makers of Agnyaathavaasi – Pawan Kalyan-starrer film on which an whopping Rs 150 Crore investment is riding high, Andhra Pradesh state government has permitted to screen special shows for the film.

The special late night shows could be screened from 1 AM to 10 AM. This will be in force from January 10th to January 17th, i.e a week. This is pretty much enough given that a start-studded film like that could recover all the investment in the first three or four days (including premieres) and reap in profits after that, opine trade experts. This is expected to boost the revenues in Andhra and Ceded. This is going to benefit both the buyers, makers and a happy news for all die-hard fans of Pawan as this would set new Box Office records.

Meanwhile, the fans of Pawan are hoping similar announcement from the state government of Telangana too. Pawan’s recent meeting with KCR and Trivikram’s meeting with Cinematography minister Talasani are expected to get a nod from the TS government on the special shows. If not like AP, at least for the first three days in Nizam would be of a great help.

On the other hand, Dil Raju who is the distributor of Nizam too said to be trying his best to get the permissions for the special shows.

Let us wait and see, what is in the store in the Nizam area.

Even before the release of the film’s trailer, Naga Shaurya’s parents, who are bankrolling their maiden production venture Chalo with their son as the hero, are quite delighted that the film’s satellite rights have been sold.

The film’s TV rights have fetched Rs 2.5 Crore which is fairly a reasonable deal even before the film’s release. A leading entertainment channel has brought the rights. It is learnt that the channel has voluntarily come forward and the film’s makers readily agreed to close the deal.

Meanwhile, the film is going to hit the screens on February 2nd. The romantic caper launches Kannada beauty Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. Already, Rashmika is getting raining offers from several big Telugu production houses. Interestingly, the film also launches newcomer Venky Kudumula.

Buzz is that the film’s trailer will be unveiled on Jan 18. And the film’s music album would be released on Jan 25. The TV rights said to have given a major boost to the team Chalo who are going to aggressively promote the film further.

In South, the highest remuneration an actress has received for a film could be anywhere around 4 Cr. Coming to Bollywood, the likes of Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut have reportedly charged nearly 15 Cr for some special films where they needed to put in extra efforts and time, otherwise even top heroines don’t get more than 10 Cr pay. Taking these unofficial statistics into account, here is the stunning feat of evergreen beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who is set to take home 10 Cr remuneration at the age of 45.

With time, Aish’s age has grown but her popularity and brand value haven’t come down even marginally. She is still the queen of millions of hearts and can add immense value to the films that she becomes a part of. Latest reports suggest that producers of her new film have agreed to pay her a mindboggling 10 Cr remuneration.

Aish has recently signed the remake of super hit film, Raat aur Din (1967). She will be stepping into the shoes of legendary actress Nargis, mother of Sanjay Dutt, in the remake. As the ‘Robot’ beauty is required to play double role and needs to allot more dates, she has reportedly quoted 10 Cr fee, and the producers, who are aware of her stardom and brand value, agreed without any fuss, shocking the producer community.

Buzz in Bollywood circles is that several actresses are feeling jealous that a 45-year-old actress has taken home a whopping 10 Cr.

In a startling death threat that put the police of an entire city on high alert, a notorious gangster stated that he would kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The incident happened in Jodhpur, Rajasthan when the star hero came to the city to appear in a Jodhpur Court in connection with the black buck poaching case.

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi of Rajasthan, who has been charged in over 20 cases of attempt to murder, extortion and under the Arms Act, created a sensation in the state by issuing a death threat to Salman Khan. He claimed that he would kill the Bollywood actor while he was in Jodhpur.

Interestingly, Bishnoi issued the death threat in front of media persons while being taken to court. He was being produced in the court following his arrest on charges of extortion and attempt to murder. The gangster claimed that he had been framed in false cases and that he would do a real crime by killing Salman Khan.

Following his threat, tight security was provided to Salman by Jodhpur police until he left the city for Mumbai.

If there is any viral serial that took the whole world by a storm, it is none other than “Game Of Thrones”. Set in the fictitious medieval backdrop, this TV series has kings and queens fighting for a throne by shedding huge blood and ruthless killings, in the name of war.

Game Of Thrones became so popular in India that the names of characters like Khalesi, Cersei, Jon Snow, Lannisters, Tyrion and Dragons have become regularly used words. After the series ran successfully for seven years (seven seasons), the TV series is now heading for a grand finale marking the end of the series forever. First of all, already fans are feeling sad that this TV series is running to an end, and now another jolt came to them.

Actually, the final season of Game Of Thrones will not be aired in 2018 as expected but HBO confirmed that it will be in 2019. Though they haven’t given the date, it may be somewhere in June-July, during springtime. So even for the season to end, lovers of this TV series need to wait for 2 years literally.

Meanwhile, fans across the globe are weaving their own grand climax for Game Of Thrones and sharing their thoughts on the web. So, who will finally sit on the throne? Jon Snow? or Cersei Lannister? Or Daenerys Targaryen? or surprisingly Tyrion? Let’s wait until July 2019.

Apparently, the young kid, a white Polish guy from London is taking Telugu internet arena by a storm. His name is Zbigniew A. Chertlur, the 7-year-old kid Polish kid, has other day elated into the air after Pawan Kalyan replied to his rendition of Kodaka Koteswara Rao song.

Cut to reality, Zbigniew, who is fondly called as Poland Bujji by Telugu cinema lovers, has now come up with a Pawan Kalyan anthem. Today after he released the teaser of this anthem, PK’s fans went into a state of excitement. But looking at this young kid’s dedication to Pawan, they are commenting, “Veedevadra Babu, Manaki ante Cult PK fan la vunnadu”. (What’s this kid, he looks like a hardcore fan than us).

While this youngster used to sing songs of many other Telugu films, of many Telugu heroes, now that he’s getting huge attention through Angyaathavaasi, he seems to be sticking to Pawan Kalyan only. One many wonders why this Polish boy living in London has so much love for India and Telugu. In reality, he happens to be a boy of Indian origin with his father Sharat Chertlur being a Telugu guy from Andhra Pradesh. His mother Ursula Elzbieta hails from Poland. That’s the connection, got it?

With “Agnyaathavaasi” release around the corner and trailer of the film not yet releasing, there is a buzz that director Trivikram and his producer S Radhakrishna are under huge pressure. But there seems to be something else going on as they met a minister today.

Both Trivikram and Radhakrishna met with Telangana cinematography minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav today. An official comment about this meeting is that they have met the Minister to invite him for a special preview show of Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi. But in reality, there seems to be something else.

With High Court giving permission for ticket hike, almost all the single-screen theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad are now charging exorbitnation ticket prices. In most places, already advance booking is happening with each ticket priced at 200 rupees. So what is that issue Triivkram wants to discuss with Telangana minister now?

We hear that Trivikram and Co want the premiere shows of Agnyaathavaasi to be screened from the midnight of January 9th across Hyderabad and other Telangana towns. For that reason, they are said to have met the government’s representative to get a permission. We have to see what happens.

With hardly four days left for the theatrical release of Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated film, “Agnyaathavaasi”, fans, media and buyers are anxiously and angrily waiting for the release of trailer. Everyone is clueless and shocked as never in the modern history of Telugu cinema that the trailer of a biggie hasn’t been released even four days before theatrical release.

The buzz in inner circles is that the copyright notice sent by T Series has totally disrupted the plans of makers. Reportedly, T Series, which claims to have owned the Remake rights of French film, “Largo Winch”, accused the Agnyaathavaasi makers of unauthorized copying of the film’s story. Surprisingly, the makers of Agnyaathavaasi haven’t yet responded to the plagiarism issue even though the speculations are doing rounds at large.

It is heard that the copyright issue has forced them to delay the release of trailer and promotional activities, allegedly in order not to invite more trouble. Reports suggest that makers are optimistic of putting an end to the controversy today and release the trailer thereafter, at 6.30 this evening, most likely. The 10-second TV promos may also be aired from this evening.

Meanwhile, the film is set to have a massive worldwide release on January 10.

We have seen trailers and teasers racking up millions of views but here is the stunning feat of an Indian movie page clocking millions of views and standing atop in the world. And, unsurprisingly, the film is, “Baahubali”, the Telugu magnum opus carved out by Rajamouli.

According to the official data about last year’s top 25 most-read articles on Wikipedia, Baahubali secured the top rank among the entertainment category and 11th rank overall, i.e. Baahubali 2 is named the world’s most viewed/read movie page on Wikipedia in 2017, racking up more than 14 million views. Its been about eight months since the film’s release but the national and international honors keep coming in.

No other Indian film made it to the Top 25. Pages listing Bollywood films released in 2017 and highest-grossing Indian films also featured in the 25 most-read articles on the website. The most read article overall was “Deaths in 2017”, with 37 million page views. It was followed by a page on American President Donald Trump.

Baahubali is the film that put Telugu cinema on the world map. Anushka’s “Arundhathi’ was a sensation of last decade. How about if a project has the shades of both the aforementioned films?

Actress Sanjjanaa has claimed that her new project, being bankrolled by ‘Baahubali’ producer Prasad Devineni, is a combination of Baahubali and Arundhathi. Its a high budget TV serial that features her as a warrior queen. She pointed out that her character is similar to Prabhas’ in Baahubali as she plays a powerful woman warrior in the serial that has a historic fantasy theme. She claimed to have taken nearly a month to learn horse riding and sword fighting.

“My dream has come true with this project as I have always wanted to play a role similar to ‘Jejemma’ character in Arundhathi,” Sanjjana reportedly said with excitement.She added that Yaata, who has worked with K. Raghavendra Rao for years, is the director of the serial. The ‘Bujjigadu’ actress elaborated that nearly 400 people had been working every day on the sets, and that the TV serial’s budget is higher than that of any of the films she has done earlier.

Despite being blessed with sufficient acting potential and sumptuous looks, Catherine Tresa somehow stereotyped to second fiddle characters in Tollywood. She has acted in quite a few biggies such as Iddarammayilatho, Sarrainodu, Gautham Nanda, Nene Raju Nene Mantri etc. but in all of them, she played second heroine. Now, Catherine has finally bagged a solo heroine film.

She will play the solo female lead in the Telugu remake of hit Tamil film, “Kanithan”, a taut investigative thriller. She was the heroine in the Tamil film as well, and has been retained for the remake, to be directed by T N Santosh, the same director who made the original.

Young hero Nikhil will play the hero. Allu Arjun and Ravi Teja were in discussions to act in the remake at one point, but Nikhil came on board after the duo rejected the film. Interestingly, Nikhil’s soon to be released film, ‘Kirik Party’, is also a remake, of a hit Kannada film.Starring Nikhil and Catherine in lead roles, the remake of ‘Kanithan’ will be officially launched on January 19. The makers haven’t made any significant changes to the script.
