Raai Laxmi, the voluptuous beauty who danced alongside Megastar Chiranjeevi in ‘Rathalu’ song, is best known for her boldness and ravishing looks. She took her raunchiness to an altogether new level with her recent film, ‘Julie 2’. Even though the film hasn’t brought her the success she desired, she nonetheless caught the attention of Bollywood, and ever since she has been treating her newly earned fans on social media with her smoking hawt pictures.

One needs to visit Raai’s Instagram page to find out what a sexy mayhem she has been creating there!

Ever since the release of Allu Arjun’s “DJ”, slender beauty Pooja Hegde has become one of the most sought after actresses in Tollywood. She has already signed Mahesh Babu’s next film, done a special song in Ram Charan’s “Rangasthalam”, and if the inside buzz is to be believed, she is almost finalized to star in NTR-Trivikram film.

We hear that Pooja Hegde is currently in talks to play the main female lead in NTR’s next film to be directed by Trivikram. Trivikram earlier wanted to sign Anu Emmanuel, but after disastrous result of Agnyaathavaasi, he reportedly decided to look for other options. Pooja Hegde has been zeroed in by Trivikram because of her craze among youth, flawless charms and most importantly, her ease in dances, which is a pivotal requirement to star opposite Tarak.

As Pooja has also signed Mahesh’s soon-to-be commenced film in the direction of Vamsi Paidipally, her dates are being worked out to accommodate both the biggies.

Pooja will be next seen in a full-fledged heroine role in Bellamkonda Sreenivas’ “Sakshyam”.

At the recently concluded India Today Conclave, popular heroine Taapsee Pannu who rose to fame with south films and slowly finding her foot in Bollywood has made some stringent comments on Telugu industry yet again. This time, her comments are filled with a sense of pride and financial success as well.

Talking about her slowing down in Telugu movies, she stated that the way they looked her down for the sake of a hero is what hurt her. “They have changed my intro part in a movie which I’ve come to know only during the shooting day. The director told me that hero asked him to change and tone down my part. When I asked him ‘Why was I’m not informed?’, he replied that ‘I actually didn’t think I should tell you’, and that hurt me. So I’ve decided to work in those films that could wait for me, give me respect, space and equal prominence” she said.

Adding more, “Recently I’ve done a Telugu movie Anando Brahma only because they have waited for me for one year. And also I’ve done it on a profit-sharing basis and walked away with a fu**ing one crore money as my share from this industry. I will do only those films that will wait for me and honour me“.

Earlier she stated that heroes will be called nothing even if the film flops, but heroines have to tone down their remuneration and also they stamp heroines as iron-legs.

No doubt, some of these comments are truly true but not always. In that case, how come the likes of Samantha and Rakul would become sought-after star heroines in Tollywood? It is wrong to call a heroine as an iron-leg, but asking them to tone down their remuneration for the sake of a project isn’t a faulty thing. There are many heroes who have cut down their remuneration during flops including Mahesh Babu, to reduce the burden on producers.

Jhanvi Kapoor, the most promising star kid (daughter of veteran diva Sridevi), is likely to sign her second film much before her debut film releases. And, the film could be the Bollywood remake of NTR’s “Temper”.

According to reports, Jhanvi has been finalized to play the female lead role in ‘Temper’ remake. Kajal played the heroine in Telugu. It was Karan Johar, the man who is mentoring Jhanvi, who decided to cast her in the film since he is co-producing it. Titled, “Simmba”, the action entertainer will be directed by Rohit Shetty, one of the most successful commercial directors in Bollywood, and stars Ranveer Singh in lead role.

It is heard that Sridevi initially had reservations in letting her daughter act in ‘Temper’ remake considering the limited role of heroine. Karan however promised her that heroine’s role will be enlarged in the Hindi remake, and got her green signal.

Jhanvi is currently shooting for her debut film, ‘Dhadak’, a rustic and intense love story. Karan reportedly convinced Sridevi that Temper remake is the perfect masala entertainer that could launch Jhanvi in top league, courtesy the excellent subject and Rohit Shetty-Ranveer Singh combo.

Good number of Telugu movies, both big and small, are being made based on the current political situation in the Telugu states, in view of the 2019 Assembly elections. The first look of one such political film has been unveiled today, on the eve of the Republic Day. What caught our attention is the film’s title and the interesting tagline.

Titled ‘Operation 2019’, the film has ‘Beware of Public’ as tagline. Hero Srikanth is playing the protagonist, essaying the role of a politician in the film. There might be two reasons for naming the film ‘Operation 2019’. One is to give the vibes of ‘Operation Duryodhana’, which is one of the landmark films of Srikanth’s career. And, the second is the obvious reference to 2019 elections.

Unlike most political films which target politicians, Operation 2019 seems to be targeted at ‘public’, as the film’s tagline (‘Beware of Public’) suggests. We can expect makers to highlight the fact that public accepts money from politicians before elections, elect corrupt politicians and cry later when the elected leaders start looting them.

The film has attracted the attention also because a powerful and seasoned actor like Srikanth plays the protagonist, a politician’s character.

Hero Manchu Vishnu, who has been blessed with a baby boy a few weeks ago, has named his son after his father. The boy has been named ‘Avram Bhakta Manchu’. Here is the first look of cute Avram.
