True to the showers of appreciations coming from all quarters, “Mahanati” is a masterpiece for its brilliant portrayal of the life and times of legendary actress Savitri. And if anyone is yet to watch the film, stop here, watch the film and then read this article as there is a spoiler ahead.

For every film, there will be this opening scene which is called an inciting incident and that will speak volumes about the movie. Here in “Mahanati”, that particular opening scene actually chokes your heart. That’s a true scene actually when Savitri has for the first time lost her consciousness in sleep while attending a film shoot in Mysore and slipped into coma.

Especially when Savitri is carried to Mysore government hospital, the staff will ask the ambulance guys to keep her in the walkways as the beds are not available. And one director reacts strongly, as she shouts at ward boys, “Do you know who she is?”. It’s true that many Kannadigas might not have to know Savitri in the 80s as by that time the likes of Sridevi became masala stars and she’s doing only character roles. But in an hour’s span, thousands of Telugu crowds gathered back then around the hospital and that explained the image Savitri has. Truly the scene is choking and it brought hearts of many Telugu film lovers to a pause for a second.

A starlet who just sprinkles silver screen with her greatness has just got neglected in a hospital. One wonders, why God has done such gross injustice to her?

I know Raviteja from a long time much before I became an actor. I met him in Madras during Aaj Ka Gundaraj preview and observed him so closely, the only actor I’ve seen such close after my brother. He might have forgotten that incident as I’m commoner then, but I didn’t forget as he’s a celebrity” said Pawan Kalyan, at Nela Ticket audio launch, pushing everyone into splits of huge laughs.

When Raviteja invited him to speak, the mass raja also stunned the audience showcasing how much he loves Pawan. “The Pawan, The Power, The Kalyan, The Star,” he said, adding, “We’ve been very good acquaintances and whenever we meet it will be like this (laughing all the time). These days he got busy and we’re not meeting regularly”, Raviteja said.

Cut to Pawan, he acknowledged that he was in awe of Raviteja and asked him, “Meeru anta Siggulekunda ela act chestaru?”. How would Raviteja act without any shy is what Pawan meant. “I’m stunned to see how he will act so naturally without feeling shy even if he’s amidst huge audiences. I myself feel shy to do such things. I think he leaves that ‘shyness’ at home and comes to shooting” Pawan said, bringing the roof down again.

But here is a serious thing Pawan Kalyan stressed: “Behind those laughs and powerhouse performances, there is a serious side. To produce such great comedy, one has to go through turmoil inside the heart. There are struggle and huge hard work that brought him such immense growth. I’m the witness to it”.

Later he praised the producer and music director as well.

“Not just earning money, but Ram Talluri has the intention of giving back to the society and taking care of underprivileged through his NGO. That’s how I first met him”, he said. “Only our work should speak, not us— a philosophy that I love so much and composer Shakti is an example of that. I know his music but not him. I wish him luck for Nela Ticket”, Pawan concluded.

Luck did not favor Disha Patani in Telugu when she tried it with Loafer. Now She is all busy in Bollywood and rumored boyfriend Tiger Shroff. Movies apart Disha has turned a fitness freak these days.

The shapely girl yet again flaunted her well-toned abs in her latest picture on Instagram. The other day she challenged all with her handstand in water and of course, tried the full front flip few days back. She is super fit now and Tiger must be the encouraging force behind this sexy fitness freak!

Ram Charan is one hero who is not particularly comfortable sharing his personal details with media. However, details about his personal life do keep coming out from time to time. So, here’s one such interesting detail.Apparently, he checks his wife Upasana’s mobile once in a while. And it is he who disclosed the same.

“I see the social media comments of fans and their feelings. I check her instagram details once in a while and go through her instagram posts. If there are any comments pertaining to me, I check them. That’s how I know the feelings of my fans on social media,” says he.Right now, Ram Charan is not on social media. Though he used to be active at one point in time, he is no longer active now as he feels he cannot react to each and every comment on social media.

“If you are on social media, you will have to comment on everything. Then you don’t know what will happen the next day. If one doesn’t react, then people feel I didn’t react. So, I got out of social media.”However, he says he will soon return to social media and put in comments and posts.

“He says he will return soon. My wife is forcing me to return to social media. I am waiting for a good date. She is on instagram. I will check out a good date and return soon.”

It has been a while since Puri Jagannadh’s film really lived up to expectations. Puri who is going through tough phase as a director is launching his son Akash Puri as actor with Mehabooba.It is a big test for the father and son as Mehbooba is releasing with Tollywood witnessing many successful films in the summer already.

An ordinary film cannot survive at box office as audience are coming to the theaters with high expectations after watching some of the best movies in recent times.So Mehbooba that is releasing today must generate positive word of mouth from its initial shows to be a success.

Puri during his prime had launched his brother Sairam Shankar as hero but couldn’t make him successful. Now the director himself is badly in need of a hit. He took a huge risk of launching his son during tough times.Can the father-son duo deliver the goods with Mehbooba? Verdict will be out in a few hours.

Needless to say, ever since Powerstar Pawan Kalyan went into a direct rift with TV9 saying that the channel aired Sri Reddy’s abusive words, there is a stoic silence between both the parties. And then, TV9 hasn’t aired any stories on Janasena like the way it supported Pawan earlier. And Pawan also stopped his twitter attacks.

But finally after a long time, Pawan Kalyan has today appeared on TV9, and this is not a political appearance anyway. Actually, the Janasena president has today turned Chief Guest at the audio launch of Mass Raja Raviteja’s “Nela Ticket” movie. And as the audio launch telecast is not limited to just one channel, TV9 has telecasted it ‘live’ and there is Pawan all over the TV for hours.

Coming to other discussions, it looks like there is no ‘ad blocking’ rift between Tollywood and Media as ads of all the present happening films like Bharat Anu Nenu, Mahanati, Mehbooba and Naa Peru Surya are being aired on many top channels including TV9.

And now that Pawan Kalyan also appeared, albeit through a movie event, should we say that the rift is blurred and both sides are calling a truce?
