Much awaited Pawan Kalyan’s song Kodaka Koteswara Rao from Agnyaathavaasi is out and it is worth the hype and hoopla.

Pawan’s energetic rendition in his trademark style and the entertaining lyrics penned by Bhaskarabhatla will make this click instantly with the listeners.

Anirudh keeps the tune and music simple and had let Pawan’s voice do the talking.

The song is on par with Katamarayuda from Attarintiki Daredi and will give relief to the fans that are complaining about complete classy feel of the album.

Well, if this statement was made by a hero or a character artiste, it wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows. But it is his heroine who made this comment.

Yes, Nayanatara who acted with Balakrishna in quite a few hit films made the comment during an interview to a Tamil magazine.

Responding to a question about consistently working with Balakrishna in Telugu, Nayanatara said, “Balakrishna is like a father figure to me. I have immense respect for him and I enjoy working with him. In fact, I consider Balakrishna a family member.”

Now, no matter what feelings one has within, no heroine equates her hero to a father figure. More so, when they are still active in their respective careers. But Nayanatara bared her true feelings during her interview.

Nayanatara was being interviewed by Vikatan magazine for their New Year special. Recently, she did a critically acclaimed film Aram in Tamil.Right now, she is shooting for Jai Simha alongside Balakrishna in Telugu.

Actor Kamal Haasan, who is planning to take a plunge into politics, on Sunday extended a warm welcome and greetings to megastar Rajinikanth in the political arena.

Rajinikanth on Sunday morning announced he would float a political party that would practice “spiritual politics” and contest in all of the state’s 234 constituencies in the next Assembly polls.

“Greetings to brother Rajini for his social feelings and political entry. Welcome, welcome,” Kamal tweeted.

Rajinikanth was also wished the best of luck for his new stint, and the actor thanked them all.

Legendary Tamil filmmaker K. Balachander may have given life to Rajinikanth as an actor, but he credited two other filmmakers for making him a Superstar. The two persons as named by Rajini are – Mani Ratnam and Suresh Krishna.

The maverick Mani Ratnam has directed Rajini in only one film – Thalapathi (1991), dubbed in Telugu as Dalapathi, which was a massive blockbuster of its time and remains a cult classic. The film is counted among Top 5 best films of both Rajini and Mani Ratnam.

Suresh Krishna has directed Rajini in four films including “Baashha” (1995). This is the most iconic film of Rajini, a film that made him the Superstar of Indian cinema, a film that inspired a new genre in filmmaking. The cult film recently had a re-release all over India.

On Saturday, while addressing his fans on the fifth day of his six-day long fans’ meetings in Chennai, the 67-year-old said that Mani Ratnam and Suresh Krishna made him a superstar. He credited Balachander for teaching him the basics of acting and spotting his talent. Finally, he thanked his fans for making him what he is today.

Of late we are seeing many Tollywood celebrities posing at one particular ‘frame’ like structure during their shoots and also personal tours. Like we have seen in Nayantara’s on-location picture from a film shot and also Rashi Khanna’s recent mobile pictures, what is this frame all about?

Like that mandatory Eiffel Tower picture for people who visit Paris, now city of Dubai, UAE has also carved out such tourist attraction. Once oil-rich Dubai is now focusing on developing many such landmarks like Palm Jumeraih and Bhurj Al Khalifa building.

After those iconic structures, in 2015 the emirate unveiled this ‘Gold Frame’. Standing tall at 150 meters high and 93 meters wide, this ‘Dubai Frame’ is installed at Zabeel Park. That’s where we have seen our hotties clicked and one can go inside this frame, travel up, and walk on the connecting glass bridge to get a glimpse of both Old Dubai and New Dubai. The entry fee is around 50 Emirate Dirhams.

Recently Balayya and Nayanthara went there to shoot for a song of Jai Simha and made sure that the structure forms a backdrop for a couple of shots in their song. Then we have Raashi touring Dubai to ring in New Year and posed for a click with her mom. Surely these pictures are proving that the Dubai Frame is becoming a craze in tinsel town now.

Its the time of the year when every celebrity is on vacation. Here is a glimpse of how the ageless diva, Shilpa Shetty is enjoying the vacation with her family.

In these pictures that were shared by Shetty, she is seen having a quality time with her family, chilling by a pool. By her side are her husband and son. The 41-year-old actress is seen in a black swimsuit. Being an a practitioner and endorser of Yoga, Shilpa Shetty has age-defying looks.

Having almost retired from films, Shilpa Shetty is busy judging shows in Television.

No wonder, the organizers came up with this unique marketing trick. After all, it is a Pawan Kalyan’s movie releasing at the box office.

Every film will have its own best moments through some intricately woven scenes that are topped with touching emotions. In 2017 we have many films that have squeezed hearts of audiences and sometimes gave that hair rising feeling. Let’s have a look at some of such scenes.

Baahubali 2: The head is gone!!

That durbar scene where Anushka is chained and being questioned for slashing out fingers of in charge army-chief gave a totally new dimension to the film. And when Amarendra Baahubali enters the scene, he stuns with his royal walk and unselfish thinking yet ferocious blue-blooded actions. As he pulls out his sword and beheads the guy, it’s a stunning moment for sure. That’s Rajamouli’s action magic.

Jai Lava Kusa: Brothers are brothers

In Jai Lava Kusa, Jr NTR excelled in his three-character act. Just before the pre-climax as the bad brother realises about his two good brothers, and as they call him ‘annayya’, we get our heart squeezed to the maximum. That’s why many people watched the film again and again. Though the bad brother dies, that feeling of brother-bond stays with us forever. Kudos to KS Ravindra (Bobby) for that scene.

Satamanam Bhavati: Father teaches a lesson

The whole of Satamanam Bhavati movie talks about how the modern age sons and daughters are ignoring their parents. Especially that scene where Prakash Raj reveals to his children that he wants to divorce his wife is really amazing. That’s a thought-provoking and also well-executed scene by director-writer Satish Vegesna.

Fidaa: A daughter’s responsibility

When her sister goes abroad, leaving her and father back home in India, Sai Pallavi takes the decision of staying with her father even after marriage. In a couple of scenes, where she reveals her decision to stay back with her father, it’s just amazing. We could notice that Sekhar Kammula sensible touch all over these scenes.

Arjun Reddy: Genuine love echoes

The whole of this film is an amalgam of varied emotions laced with magic. If we have to pick one, the climax scene where Vijay Devarkonda meets a pregnant Shalini Pandey is just loveable to the core. In this particular scene, director Sandeep Reddy echoed that perfect honest and profane love just like that. Mast vundi ra bhai!!

Nene Raju Nene Mantri: Anything for the wife!!

While the commercial setup in this film might sound too cliched, but director Teja executed it so brilliantly that we couldn’t find any loopholes in his work. Especially the scenes that come after Kajal loses her pregnancy and the way Rana plans to win the local body election are terrific.

Ninnu Kori: A true lover’s pain

Newcomer director Shiva Nirvana came up with some brilliant writing in this film throughout. And with a brilliant performer like Nani in his hand, many scenes turned out to be classic. Especially that drinking scene of Nani and Aadhi, where he explains his pain after a boozing session in the night is just amazing.
