Young Hero Worried About Drug Addict Role!
Young actor Tanish Alladi might be facing the SIT in the ongoing drugs case. But what is coincidental is that Tanish will be seen as a drug addict in Nakshatram. Tanish is essaying a negative role in Krishna Vamsi directorial where he would be seen as drug addict.
As he is now facing the SIT in drugs case, team Nakshatram is said to be having a blessing in disguise as this unwanted controversy of Tanish’s name in drugs would help the film.
Even Tanish is said to be worried that his about-to-release film may portray him negatively in the minds of people. On other hand, Sundeep Kishan is said to be quite confident on Nakshatram and is hoping that this would be landmark film in his career which took off 8 years ago. The film features Regina Cassandra, Sai Dharam Tej, Pragya Jaiswal in prominent roles and has Shriya Saran in a special song.
One could easily understand what Tanish is going right now, but one must admit that certainly it has come in handy for Naksatram. Let’s wait and see.
Roja Ready To Walk With Pawan Kalyan
Probably for the first ever we may have to say, someone coming up from YS Jagan led YSR Congress Party is responding positively to what Pawan Kalyan has done.
With Uddanam Issue becoming the topic of the state ever since the Janasena Boss brought Harvard doctors team to visit this affected village in Srikakulam district, finally YSRC MLA and actress, Roja has spoken up.
On behalf of YSR Congress, Roja clarified that their party is ready to support Pawan Kalyan on Uddanam issue. But once again the hardcore devotee of YSR inside her condemned Pawan for saying that previous governments did nothing to Uddanam.
She revealed that, way back in 2004, the then CM YSR sent a research team of doctors from KGH Hospital to Uddanam to study and then sent a research doctor to San Francisco in 2007 for a conference on Kidney issues to highlight the plight of Uddanam.
Well, if YSR government has done enough for Uddanam one would wonder why any world-class institution like Harvard University failed to recognise it until Pawan Kalyan highlighted the prevailing issue. Probably Roja is suggesting that YSR did everything for Uddanam but foreign doctors failed to understand the research provided by the team that was sent by the late CM.
Anyway as Roja stated that they are ready to walk with Pawan Kalyan, we have to see in the near future how this walk is going to be.

Fidaa to Smash Records of Pawan & Balayya
Sekhar Kammula’s magical ‘Fidaa’ is unstoppable at US box office. The heart warming love story has taken a decent start and has been piling up on revenue ever since. With Gopichand’s latest release ‘Guatam Nanda’ opening to poor response in US, its Fidaa all the way at box office.
By the end of its Second weekend, Fidaa took its cumulative to $ 1.627K approx, which is monstrous. The film was super strong at box office even in the Second Weekend (Friday $ 88,522, Saturday $ 154,614 and Sunday $ 95,500. Total: $ 1.627K).
Going by this tremendous run, Fidaa is likely to touch the $2 million mark in its full run. In that case, two scintillating records are eluding Fidaa.
Balakrishna’s Gautamiputra Satakarni currently stands at No.3 this year at US box office with a final total of $1.663K. Fidaa is certain to go past GPSK in one or two days, thus emerging as the 3rd highest grosser of this year so far.
Another record in offing for Fidaa is a golden chance to emerge the 2nd highest grossing film among movies of Mega family heroes. While Megastar Chiranjeevi’s “Khaidi No.150” is at Top ($2.447M), Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Attharintiki Daredi’ is at 2nd place with lifetime collections of $1.897M.
Trade pundits predict Fidaa to end up around $2M, a tad more or less. So, there is a high chance of the Varun Tej starrer beating AD’s full run collections and emerging the 2nd highest grosser among Mega family movies.
Fidaa had a spectacular second weekend in the Telugu states as well. The worldwide gross by Second weekend stands at a whopping Rs 53 crore.
