A couple of days back before taking Tollywood by a storm with her Rama Lakshmi act, star heroine Samantha stunned her fans by posting a picture where she’s relaxing on an exotic beach in a bikini. And here is an interesting snippet about it.

The bikini picture shared by Samantha has raised many brows as she got much sexier for the first time after getting married. And then, there is a doubt if this is an old picture shared by Samantha. Because this is the same bikini she was wearing months ago when she went on a quick vacation along with Chay and other friends.

Some say that Samantha might have posted a picture from the old vacation but not a new one. While few are little quirky in commenting that she got only one favourite bikini in her kitty and needs by a new one. Whatever it may be, any single post made by actresses on social platforms these days is turning like a CBI case for film lovers.

Meanwhile, Samantha’s chemistry with her characters in films like Rangasthalam and Abhimanyudu as seen in the song teasers is creating more buzz than her bikini picture.

Likewise we have influential star hero families such as Konidela, Nandamuri, Daggubati, Akkineni etc. there is a powerful family among directors too. And, that’s of ace director SS Rajamouli.

With big names like Vijayendra Prasad, Keeravani, Rama Rajamouli, Karthikeya, SS Kanchi etc. Rajamouli’s family also holds substantial clout in Tollywood, and it has the power to make the career of upcoming talents.

The latest we hear is that Rajamouli’s family has taken upcoming actress, Rukshar Mir under its wings. Rukshar acted in Rajamouli’s brother, SS Kanchi’s directorial, “First Show”. She was supposed to make her debut in Tollywood with this film, which surprisingly, hasn’t released yet even though it was completed a year ago. Hence, taking the responsibility of giving her a proper launch, Rajamouli’s family have reportedly recommended her to the heroes and filmmakers they have good association with.

She had earlier bagged Nani’s “Krishnarjuna Yuddham”. Afresh, she has reportedly been finalized by acclaimed director Chandrasekhar Yeleti, who is very close to Rajamouli’s family, for his new film starring Sai Dharam Tej in lead role. This project will commence after Tej completes Karunakaran’s film.

Rukshar is already a well-proven actress in Sandalwood. With the aforementioned two films, she hopes to prove her talent in Telugu too and establish herself here.

Isha Talwar and the name needs no introduction. Though this hottie is born and brought up in Mumbai, she did a lot of Malayalam cinema than Bollywood. And then she came to Telugu films with Gundejaari Gallantayyinde.

While Telugu films or films to that matter, haven’t made her a big starlet, her glamour has many fans. Especially when she shares those pictures from bikini shoots, hearts of some fans get melted. Recently she was shot by an American photographer for an unknown assignment, but the way she posed is extremely teasing.

Posing on the beach with a wet white shirt hugging her figure, Isha just smoked extreme hot in this picture. The detail in the picture, especially the sand slipping out of her adorable curves is making heads struck without any moment. That’s some terrific display of oomph factor.

A few years ago, former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi fled from India when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched an investigation into the accusations of his financial irregularities. Another Modi is now all over the headlines as he is accused of having done a scam of Rs 11,400 Cr.

Nirav Modi, owner of one of the biggest global diamond jewelry businesses, has come under the radar of Indian investigative agencies, after Punjab National Bank (PNB) filed a complaint against him, accusing him of scamming a massive amount of Rs 11,400 Cr. Fearing the investigation, he has reportedly escaped the country last month.

Modi is a very big name in Bollywood as well. He has had association with some of the Top league actresses of Bollywood, who worked as his business’ brand ambassadors and promoted his products at national and international level.

Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Kapoor, Lisa Haydon are some of his illustrious clientele from Bollywood. In fact, Priyanka Chopra, who became the brand ambassador for Nirav Modi in 2017, even sued him for allegedly defrauding her.

Reports suggest that these celebs may face questioning regarding their association with Modi.

Many South actors and filmmakers aspire to go to Bollywood which lures them with huge canvas, reach and market. But, only a few successful people can make it. There are some exceptional cases who, sans-success, still embark the Bollywood ladder through high-profile contacts in the industry.

Prakash Kovelamudi, son of veteran director K.Raghavendra Rao, and a director himself, is now gearing to make his directorial debut in Bollywood. Even though his filmography comprises duds like Anaganaga O Dheerudu and Size Zero, Prakash has managed to convince a top producer and two stars to be part of his Bollywood debut film.

National Award winning actors and the most happening stars in Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut and Raj Kumar Rao have reportedly signed Prakash’s film. Prolific producer, Ekta Kapoor will bankroll this film, which is being touted as a psychological thriller. Prakash’s wife, Kanika Dhillon wrote the film that will go on floors next month.

Reports emerged some time ago that Prakash’s next Telugu film after ‘Size Zero’ would be a high-budget fantasy drama and that ‘Baahubali’ producers would bankroll it. Sharwanand was supposed to play the lead role. The project however has been scrapped after months of discussions, reportedly because of budget issues.

It needs to be seen if the son of legendary Raghavendra Rao can taste success at least in Bollywood.

The super success of “Bhaagamathie” at box office ending the drought created by big films in the new year 2018 has put Anushka Shetty on the big table again. But is she going to continue her Hawa or had different plans in mind?

Apparently, none believed how much impact Baahubali has created for its actors until Anushka proved her mettle at the box office. The film already collected 37+ crores share at box office thereby becoming an individual highest grosser for Anushka. But our heroine is said to be not interested in taking up any project now.

Reports are coming up that Anushka is taking a big break now. No, she’s not getting married or anything like that. Actually, the actress is now going on a mission to lose weight heavily and get back to her former shape whose hotness melted even the hardest of the rocks. It is coming out that she will take at least a year break to get back in the shape.

For now, Anushka is listening to few scripts through her good friends, UV Creations and she will sign something but it will take off only in the later part of the year. That means no more Anushka for 2018 and she will be disappointing her fans.

South Indian lady superstar Nayanthara and young director Vignesh Shivan (director of Suriya’s “Gang” and Nayanthara’s “Nenu Rowdy Ne”) may not have tied knot officially, but they still are considered one of the most ideal couples. Time and again, their beautiful chemistry gives relationship goals to young couples.

Whenever a picture featuring these lovebirds surfaces on internet, it just goes viral, for the charming and sparkling chemistry they share. In this latest pic, the duo are seen so cozily embracing each other as if no one is around or as if they don’t care what people may think. The letters – V & N on their respective T-shirts presumably stands for Vignesh and Nayanthara, how adorable!

When the list of Most Desirable Women gets out every year, one of the top leading ladies generally takes the crown. This has been the case for past several years. However, breaking the norms, a budding actress whose rise to fame is the ‘Bigg Boss’ show, has trumped all the leading ladies of South to take the crown of the Chennai Times Most Desirable Woman in 2017, decided through a month-long online poll.

Oviya is the name. This budding actress shot to instant fame with Bigg Boss Tamil. Her gutsy stay in the house made her the darling of masses and fetched her an army of fans, who have now voted her as the Most Desirable Woman.

For the unknown, Oviya made her debut in Tollywood with the much delayed Tarun-starrer, ‘Idi Naa Love Story’, which released on Feb 14. The disastrous film however did not provide the welcome Oviya desired in the Telugu film industry.

Coming back to Most Desirable Women rankings, Nayanthara, who took the crown last year, settled with Second place this year. 3) Rakul, 5) Kajal Aggarwal, 6) Amy Jackson, 7) Andrea Jeremiah, 11) Aditi Rao Hydari, 14) Anushka Shetty, 15) Keerthy Suresh, 16) Samantha Akkineni, 17) Tamannaah, 21) Shruti Haasan, 23) Trisha, 26) Regina Cassandra, 28) Amala Paul, 29) Raai Laxmi and 30) Hansika – featured in the list.

Shockingly, Tamannah, Samantha and Shruti Haasan, who ranked 2nd, 3rd and 5th last year, secured 17th, 16th and 21st ranks this year.

The advent of social media bought fans and stars closer. At the same time, some true blue feelings of celebs are also getting exposed to Facebook and Twitter. By observing the way these stars react to particular stuff, we could easily guess that.

We have seen how some big heroes and heroines talking nonsensical stuff on Twitter in the recent times. Other day a young hero who is known for his tech-savvy skills is seen behaving quite strangely on the social media. Because one of his followers asked him a weird, but an honest question.

Actually, the follower asked him when this hero will score a solid hit rather calling every film of his a hit. Annoyed by that straight punch, the hero immediately blocked the fan and complained to that social media authorities about that user, saying that the user is making abusive posts.

Well, whether that follower may be a hater or an anti-fan, but surely he didn’t abuse. He just asked a truth that often people around the hero sugar coat and keeps in the deep freezer.

At the starting of his career, Sundeep Kishan had really selected a bunch of good roles, good films. Be it Prasthanam or Gundello Godari or Routine Love Story or Venkatadri Express, Sundeep had pulled off very well.

But he couldn’t continue his success streak for long. Due to poor choice, he had to taste failure and it continued. This pushed him into confusion on whether to pick an author-backed role or commercially viable one. Though he tried both, none of them worked in Telugu while a few did well in Tamil giving him some respite.

However, his recent disasters in Telugu are posing him a big challenge. As his film Manasuki Nachindi releases today, this film turns out to be highly crucial for Sundeep. In fact, it’s like a now or never for Sundeep. It’s high time he should bounce back to put his career back on track. This is an acid test for Sundeep. While Sundeep is hopeful of passing the test, let’s see what would be the verdict of the audiences.
