One of the most controversial films in the recent times much before its release in theatres is none other than “Padmavati”, directed and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.From warnings to director Bhansali and also lead actress Deepika Padmavathi, to offering bounty for axing their head, organisations like Karni Sena stoked the Hindutva agenda in the name of this film. But the punch has come from Censor Board also as they have rejected to Censor the film until issues are resolved.

Latest update is that Central Board of Film Certification has reportedly decided to issue a U/A certificate to Padmavati provided certain suggested modifications are done including a change in the title. It seems like to appease the Rajasthani Rajputs and other groups who are claiming Padmavati as their holy goddess, CBFC has now asked Padmavati makers to drop ‘i’ from the title and make it ‘Padmavat’.

Other suggestions including adding some ‘disclaimers’ that particular scenes are not to hurt anyone religiously. Also, they have asked Bhansali to tone down the Sati scene such that it will not glorify the act. And then Ghoomar song should also be trimmed to a certain extent.

We have to see what will Bhansali do finally, while Deepika Padukone, Ranvir Singh and Shahid Kapoor moved to their next projects already but waiting to promote this film. Initially set for December 1st, 2017 release date, the makers have to pick a new date now.

Like the way big stars are scoring their milestones, even technicians also do. Recently we have seen Megastar Chiru’s 150, Balayya’s 100th movies and it will be joined by Pawan’s 25th and also Mahesh’s 25th soon. And now, here is one more technician who has finished his 50th film.

After introduced by director Teja through ‘Jai’ movie, composer Anup Rubens, who was said to be keyboard player of music director RP Patnaik, has gone on composing many hit albums. Films like Ishq, Manam, Soggade Chinni Nayana, Temper and Katamarayudu have made him big shot composer for sure. And this talented composer completed his 50 films in his 13-year journey, by scoring for “Hello” as his half-century movie.

That makes Anup member of the Mighty50 club that also has his fellow composers like Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman. While Devi entered the club with Damarukam movie, Thaman did it with Aagadu and also another composer Sai Karthik entered it after finishing half-century with Raja Cheyyi Veste movie.

Music is the essential part of Telugu films as most of our stories bank on songs and background score for elevation and also story progression. It’s interesting to see some talented composer crossing the 50 mark in this age of huge competition. On the flip side, legends like Ilayaraja have composed for more than 1000 films.

These days a piece of information is snowballing into a major rumour within no time without any query about the actuals from the concerned persons. Such stuff has hit Sye Raa as well as some rumour mills took it to next level with their figments of imagination.

Sample this: As Megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Sye Raa’ shooting is said to be getting delayed, rumours have come out that the team is waiting for Nayanthara’s dates, hence the delay. Taking this piece of unconfirmed news to next level, some media houses are seen reporting that after composer AR Rahman, and cinematographer Ravi Varma, heroine Nayanthara is the third one to exit from the magnum opus movie.

However, the truth is said to be far from the actual and the makers are in need of Nayanthara’s dates from February 2018 only for which she has allotted the dates already. Her team confirmed that Nayanthara is very much excited about the project, as that is like a dream coming true to work with a mighty star like Chiranjeevi and she’s very much in the film. They confirmed that there is no dates issue.

Directed by Surender Reddy, featuring Chiranjeevi, Jagapathi Babu, Nayanthara and Vijay Setupathi in key roles, “Sye Raa” deals with the story of first ever freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, who was hanged to death by Britishers.

We just need an occasion to celebrate and Tollywood adds to the festivities by releasing teasers, first look, new pictures on those dates to make the celebrations more interesting. That too for January 1st, these treats will be doubled as all the Sankranthi films will be focusing on this date.

Already on December 31st evening, we have Pawan Kalyan’s Kodaka Koteswara Rao song coming up. It will be followed by the teaser of Naa Peru Surya Naa Illu India on January 1st. And these two will be joined some songs and other teasers of Jai Simha, Gang and couple of others movies. Now Baahubali also joined them.

One may wonder how come Baahubali has joined this place as both the films of this franchise, The Beginning and The Conclusion, had already released. It seems like Baahubali makers don’t want the craze for the films to vanish just like that and they release the “Original Sound Track” of the movie now.

In Hollywood, we generally see OST of super hit films released immediately after the movie’s release. These tracks are nothing but the Background Score bits and few Telugu, Tamil makers also released such tracks in the recent times. Talented composer MM Keeravani composed some terrific background score for the film where he lifted the mood of a scene and created a hair rising experience.

So, get ready for Baahubali’s January 1st treat folks !!

The latest entrant into the mega list of heroes is the son-in-law of Chiranjeevi. It has already been reported that he will be making his debut in a film being produced by Sai Korrapati.The film will be directed by Rakesh Sasi, who had earlier directed the flop film Jathakalise.Talk is that after story sitting, megastar liked the idea and that’s when the film was okayed. Presently, the pre-production work of the film is on.

However, there’s a little twist here. As per gossip in Film Nagar, the film was first offered to Nikhil. After listening to the story, he is said to have smoothly rejected the offer.The story happens to be a sentimental one and traces the relationship between father and son. Given his current image, Nikhil did not choose to take a risk and rejected the film.

So when mega son-in-law okayed the story, he got Chiranjeevi to hear the story, who gave the final approval.Well, instead of debuting with a mass film, mega son-in-law will be making his grand entry with an emotional drama.

Last night Shah Rukh Khan surprised all his fan when he suddenly made an announcement of flying to Oman for an event.What we weren’t aware of was the fact that he wasn’t the only superstar to be there.

The image features Shah Rukh Khan alongside Telugu superstar Nagarjuna, Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, Tamil superstar Prabhu and Malayalam superstar Manju Warrier.

Jacqueline Fernandez is a happy soul and in the past year she has had many reasons to smile too.She has kept busy with back-to-back releases and now that the year is drawing to an end, she has set off on a vacation with her family in Bali.

Yes, Jacky is an island girl and her choice of holiday spot hasn’t really surprised us. After all what can be better than chilling by the beach with your loved ones by your side?But while she is chilling, she has set the temperatures soaring with her hot pictures. Yes, Jacqueline chose to own the beach wearing a fluorescent yellow monokini and we can’t imagine her looking any hotter.

With that hot bod and long legs, it is obvious that the actress would want to flaunt it and what better what better way than to sport beachwear. Not only is she looking her best, she is also having the time of her life while there.

Trolling celebs is a global phenomenon now and MTV has taken them on in its latest edition of Troll Police.It will show how in today’s day and age it is child’s play to log on to a social media platform from any part of the world and post objectionable comments about a celebrity’s physical appearance or wardrobe.

“The team has roped in private investigators and a cyber team to trace these trolls. Bollywood celebrities will confront the faces behind these acts in a bid to educate the youth, create awareness and highlight the issue of cyber-bullying,” informs a source, adding that Rannvijay Singha will host this season of Troll Police while Taapsee Pannu will be the first guest.

Rannvijay admits that as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility and in today’s day and age, internet has given us the power to voice out our opinion.“But there are a lot of people who do not use this power wisely which is why trolling needs attention. If one thinks one can hide his or her identity, use the platform to send inflammatory and off-topic messages and get away with it, it is a serious offence and a sign of cowardice,” he points out.
