Pay disparity is only next to nepotism issue in Bollywood film industry, and Taapsee latest comments might have hurt many female actresses.

When asked about pay disparity, Taapsee in a way supported producers and male actors. Taapsee said that it is totally unfair to ask for pay on par with male actors, while the female actors are not getting equal openings on par with films that usually open with male actor’s charishma and fame.

Taapsee concluded that she is ready to demand huge pay when audience throng to theatres to see a heroine or a heroine in a lead role, and that obviously brings huge openings.

The Anando Brahma actress feels that is is unfair to trouble producers for equal pay, irrespective of her performance or how good the film is unless it is a biggest opener with a woman as hero in it.

Well, linking the opening collection to remuneration seems logical, but many actresses won’t hesitate to torture producers when the film goes a debacle. Is Taapsee among them?

Causing an utter embarrassment to the viewers of world’s most-popular news channel BBC, a news show called Ten had telecasted a raunchy adult content in one of its televisions at the background, while the TV anchor Sophie Raworth was presenting news about England cricket team’s victory against South Africa team in fourth and final test match.

According to reports, around 3.8 million viewers were watching the show at that point of time and a person took to Twitter and asked BBC ‘why there is porn video playing on the background of news anchor during a report?’ – such an embarrassing and unintended moment for the British Broadcasting Corporation headquartered in London.

Quickly, the viral video has gained a lot a lot of attention on social media. It can be seen in the video that an employee of BBC was watching the intimate scene with ear phones plugged in and relaxing back on his chair. In the clip that was running at background, the lady undressed her bra while doing a striptease in front an actor.

Responding to the incident, BBC said ‘this has gone down like a lead balloon at the BBC. It is totally unprofessional.’

Allu Arjun is one actor who spends most of his off screen time with family and he often gets his happy family moments captured. Here is one such perfect picture with Bunny and wife Sneha with adorable kids Ayaan and Arha all in happiness.

On Film front, Bunny is right now busy with Naa Peru Surya in Vakkantham Vamsi direction, after his DJ garnered decent collections and more controversies.

The film budget of Indian movies has been creeping up every year. With the actors and technicians charging more and audience expecting huge quality, the budget of regional films too took a huge wave.

A group of youngsters surprised everyone after they made a feature film on a budget of Rs 25,000. The movie has been titled Porattam which has been helmed by Bilahari.

Navajith Narayan and Shaalin Zoya played the lead roles in the movie and the budget of Porattam is even less than the cost of an iPhone. A bunch of newcomers played other interesting roles in the movie. The entire film has been shot in 15 days and all the actors, technicians worked for the film without any remuneration.

The makers are in talks to release the film across the state and the first look along with the trailer will be out soon.

Rana Daggubati has been spotted promoting for his next movie Nene Raju Nene Mantri. The movie directed by Teja is said to be a political thriller and is releasing between tough competition as Nithiin’s Lie and Boyapati Sreenu’s Jaya Janaki Nayaka are gearing up for the same day release.

Rana for the first time has been completely focused on promotions. During his interview with a leading news channel, the actor has been spotted shouting against the anchor when asked about his association in the drugs case.

However the actor confirmed that it is a part of the publicity and was perfectly planned. The promo was well cut which showcases Rana replying harsh to the anchor. However he turns cool and replies about the cops visiting Ramanaidu Studio for the parcel the actor received from abroad. When asked by one of his fans through twitter, Rana confirmed that it is a publicity stunt.

Kajal and Catherine are the heroines in Nene Raju Nene Mantri which is hitting the screens today. Rana plays a politician and the movie has been carrying huge buzz all over.

Rana Daggubati is a happy man these days. He has enough recognition in all the Indian languages and is occupied with many interesting projects. The actor even turned host recently with the tv show No 1 Yaari which has been striking decent TRPs all over.

Rana is not in a mood to stop here and he says that he has lot more to explore. Rana responded about the web series, which are slowly making into the Indian markets.

Responding on this, he said “The market is not completely mature for a web series and it takes much time to figure it out.  Television is a great medium and actors like me and Tarak are currently busy exploring it, enjoying it. Web series can be planned in a lakh and we can even budge a crore. We don’t know the size of it”.

Rana’s next movie Nene Raju Nene Mantri has been slated for release tomorrow. Teja is the director and Kajal is the female lead. Rana will be seen as a politician in the film which has been bankrolled by Suresh Productions.

Ever since Magadheera occurred in Tollywood it became a phenomenon for Telugu filmmakers to attempt something like that. Though many tried, they didn’t succeed in getting epic stories right. And after Baahubali, the urge to deliver such fairy tales has grown big, and here is how Boyapati thinks.

From a time this dashing director is said to be working on a new script, which will be on the likes of Baahubali and Baahubali 2. Massive forts, war sequences, fantasy creatures, fantabulous emotions are what the script has. And then Boyapati reveals he has different plans to take off this film to the production.

“I may direct this Baahubali like a movie only with a newcomer. Because a big hero will bring more hype, which isn’t needed, and that will also suppress the value of content. A young hero will do more justice to the film and I’ve to see when could I take off this film” says Boyapati. Well, it is a Baahubali like movie, then is it safe to venture into it with a new hero or young hero?

Surely Rajamouli played all the commercial cards very well when it comes to casting. He made sure that the film will have all big names such that getting business, getting openings and getting returns will be easier. But now that Boyapati is saying he will go against this plan, we have to see if he will carve out another history sans Rajamouli or will end up like his other colleagues who failed massively.

Amy posed in bikini umpteen times and she looks super hot each and every time. Yet again, Amy slipped into black bikini and with those killer looks, she is way too hot on latest cover of FHM magazine.

On film front, Amy is busy with 2.0 starring along Rajinikanth and filmed by Shankar, and also a Kannada film called The Villain.

After blockbuster result of Sarrainodu, director Boyapati Sreenu has had a chance of collaborating with any star hero of his choice and big producer of his option. Yet Boyapati decided to collaborate with Bellamkonda Srinivas and Miryala Ravinder Reddy keeping his word. This had indeed left many shocked in industry.

As Jaya Janaki Nayaka is all set for release today, we caught up with Boyapati for a candid conversation ahead of the film’s release.

Why only Bellamkonda Srinivas?

I’ve promised Bellamkonda Srinivas a film. After Sarrainodu turned out industry hit, many told him to work with a star. But I decided to rope in Bellamkonda Srinivas only. For me, ethics are more important. In my opinion, a person who doesn’t have ethics, morals and characters don’t have any value.

And importantly, Bellamkonda Srinivas fits for the role of Gagan (protagonist) aptly. After watching the film, you’ll agree with me.

What is Jaya Janaki Nayaka About?

Although it has various shades and various elements, Jaya Janaki Nayaka is a pure love story. This is by far, my best love story. In fact, it will be far better than Bhadra (Boyapati’s erstwhile love story). The film has a strong female characters that play significant role in story. Simply put, Jaya Janaki Nayaka is ahead of my previous six films.

What was the biggest challenge?

The biggest challenge was to change the image of Bellamkonda Srinivas. Groomed him a lot and moulded him. He has came up with better performance, dances compared to his previous films.

Has story been changed?

Yes. Before Sarrainodu, we have launched a film with Bellamkonda Srinivas that did not materialise due to various reasons. After that I moved on to Sarrainodu. And there is a gap. So, we decided to choose an updated story that suits present age.

Why did you repeat Rakul and Catherine?

I’ve observed a special quality in Rakul during Sarrainodu. She is very good actress. While I was working on Jaya Janaki Nayaka, I felt that Rakul would be perfect for Janaki role. Catherine is also very good actress and good dancer. She will be seen in a special song that will enthrall all.

Has high budget not bothered you given that Srinivas is young?

The budget that we put is for a movie. But not for hero or any other role. The budget is on entire movie which is a team effort.

How is your equation with producer today (before film’s release)? Has it changed from the day you started working on film?

Very good. After Allu Aravind garu, I loved qualities of Miryala Ravinder Reddy. He is very passionate filmmaker who wants to earn good name – tasteful producer. Very few producers are not after money and are passionate about films. I wish Jaya Janaki Nayaka bring him both money and acclaim.

Today, we are set to see director Boyapati Srinu follow up the blockbuster success of Sarrainodu with his latest offering Jaya Janaki Nayaka.

With elements to appeal both the masses and class audience, this one will be a wholesome entertainer with a perfect dose of drama, emotions, action and romance.

Director Boyapati’s signature touch will be seen aplenty for anyone who comes with expectations to watch the film.

Blending all the elements together harmoniously, he has managed to create magic with this one, and it certainly seems like the film’s lead actors Bellamkonda Srinivas, Rakul Preet Singh and Pragya Jaiswal will receive several laurels.
