Talented and beautiful stars are great to watch on screen and offscreen too. Many of those stars gather at award ceremonies every year and here is are 12 talented technicians caught in one frame flaunting their filmfare awards they won for last year in films of South.

From left to right, we have Suryah, Rithika Singh, AR Rahman, Madhavan, Shraddha srinath, Trisha Krishnan, Samantha, Nivi Pauly, Allu Arjun, Rakshit Shetty, NTR and Ritu Varma in once frame clicked by famous photographer Karthik Srinivasan.

At the moment, Overseas rights are the most discussed ones in Tollywood owing to the high amounts involved. Unlike local distributors who could very well manage the film distribution, USA distribution is little tricky and risky as well. But still, our producers are able to milk huge numbers, thanks to star power.

Recently both Mahesh Babu’s Spyder and Jr NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa didn’t found any buyers in this region owing to the high prices they are quoting. Finally, Sypder got sold out for a staggering 15+ crores for both Telugu and Tamil overseas rights though the makers demanded 21 crores initially. At the same time, Jr NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa demanded 18 crores initially but got settled with 10.1+ crores with no buyer coming forward to pick the movie.

If these two films score thunderous hits at the box office, then recovering this amount is a good possibility though distributors will not be eating huge profits. What if they failed to do so? A flop like Brahmotsavam collected only 1.2 million and blockbuster Janata Garage neared 1.7 million gross collections from USA box office. But now, to give their investment back, Mahesh Babu’s Spyder should collect 5+ million gross and Jai Lava Kusa should collect close to 3 million. So, how is the box office going to be?

Jr NTR’s triple action could be a show stealer in Jai Lava Kusa but sticking to just mass elements would prove fatal. At the same time Mahesh’s class looks in the role of a spy sounds interesting, but too much intelligence sans emotional content will ruin the show of Sypder. Any slight mismatch in expectations would make distributors lose millions in USA market. Hope that won’t happen!!

Bhanumathi alias Sai Pallavi, who has become the current toast of Tollywood with the success of ‘Fidaa’, claimed that she wouldn’t hesitate to turn down star heroes’ films if she doesn’t like the story and her character.

In a recent interview, when Sai Pallavi was asked why she had turned down a few films of star heroes, she reasoned, ‘I don’t see if it is a star hero’s film or small hero’s when I get approached. Story and my character are important for me. I don’t accept films just because they have star heroes in lead. I rejected a few big films because I didn’t like the story. Even for my future films, I will always prefer story over stars’.

After the success of Malayalam ‘Premam’, Sai Pallavi reportedly turned down a few biggies including a Chiyaan Vikram starrer. After making a sensational debut in Tollywood with ‘Fidaa’, she is once again being flooded with offers but the acne-faced actress hasn’t signed any other film except Nani’s ‘MCA’.

She confirmed that she had signed a three-film deal with Dil Raju and the third project after Fidaa and MCA is yet to be finalized.

Sai Pallavi has also completed the shooting of a Telugu-Tamil bilingual starring Naga Shourya. The film will hit screens by the end of this year.

Veteran Actress Jamuna, who is counted among the legends of Telugu cinema, was recently humiliated by a young hero, who hails from a well-established filmy family.

Jamuna has recently attended a marriage function where this young hero was also in attendance. People hoarding up around stars whenever they attend public events is very common. When more or less similar scenario happened at the wedding, the young hero’s bouncers pushed aside the people in their way.

They neither cared for the age nor the stature of 82-year-old Jamuna, while ruthlessly pushing her down. Reportedly, they didn’t bother to help her when she fell on the ground because of their push. Some people there rushed to her rescue after the bouncers moved away very causally.

However, what shocked everyone is the hero’s callous attitude in not even apologizing to the veteran actress after his bouncers insulted and physically abused (although unintentionally) her in public. The senior actress reportedly looked more hurt mentally than physically because of the humiliation.

It really is a treat to watch all the three generation celebrities from filmy families in one photo shoot and that happened recently with Bachchan ladies, who went glam and naughty in every single pose.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s wife and veteran actress Jaya Bachchan joined daughter Shweta Bachchan and grand daughter Navya Naveli Nanda for Vogue magazine photo shoot for latest edition. While Jaya looked delegant in her grey hair, Shweta posed off in trendy attire. Navya Naveli steals the show here with her sharp and stunning looks and her debut is much awaited if at all she wanted to enter films.

Are you overwhelmed by watching the very gorgeous Kajal Aggarwal in Sarees and only sarees in the promotions of her upcoming film ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’? Well, for a change, here is the stunning diva making fans go crazy in modern outfit.

The gorgeous actress has recently graced the cover of a leading magazine. Sporting just a designer shirt and nothing else, sitting sensually on a stool and exposing her toned legs, the actress looks quite an enchantress. Her confident smile and nude makeup demonstrate how sexy she can be even without trying much.

With Nene Raju Nene Mantri, Kajal is hopeful of scoring another hit this year after the successful Khaidi No.150.

Admitting that reviews and publicity were weak for the film, director Sampath Nanda turned emotional at the success meet of his recently released film Gautham Nanda that was held on Thursday in Hyderabad. However, Sampath thanked audience for ‘accepting’ the film and ‘showering collections’.

“Frankly speaking, reviews and publicity were weak. But still audiences accepted the film and showered their love. Good Collections proved it. I reiterate that Gautham Nanda is the best story in my career till date. I standby on it. Two people whom I see as my idols have appreciated the film as my best work so far. Even I got some heart-touching messages from a few audiences which moved me. As I writer, director what else could I expect?”

“After movie is released, I didn’t get calls from industry people till evening. Probably because of the talk. But the calls slowly started ringing from 4 PM on wards and many from industry have made the calls,” divulged Sampath.

Sampath Nandi went onto say that how his father liked the film very much. “My dad said that Gautham Nanda is my best work. He liked the way I dealt the subject of money and the message I gave. He is quite impressed with it.” Sampath also said that he got a message from a girl who told him that she decided to gift a bike to her mother after watching the film.

If a Star Hero is hosting a TV show, definitely all eyes will be there on him as people want to see how he looks and interacts with contestants. But all such successful shows might not pull the ratings of that particular channel to a new high.

While the likes of Chiranjeevi and Jagapathi Babu haven’t succeeded well with their TV stints, Nagarjuna and Navdeep impressed people with Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu and Super. But these stars didn’t pull the numbers of channels to a new high. However, Jr NTR’s first ever tele debut through Big Boss is turning to be exciting now. With this TV show, Star MAA has quickly escalated to the top from 529 TRP in Week 26 to 825 TRP in Week 30.

Though Jr NTR is hosting only two episodes a week, unlike his predecessors who have hosted nearly almost all the shows every day, what made Big Boss succeed very well and bring the name to Jr NTR now? TV analysts feel that Jr NTR is lucky in that aspect. Here’s why they say that.

Actually Big Boss concept is new to Telugu audiences and slowly it started penetrating into viewers. Once connected, many are cheering for their favourite participant every day and voting for them too. Also, Star MAA did a clever step by airing this show for two-hours continuously from 9 to 11 pm. While other shows just last for 1 hour, this added advantage of two big slots made Big Boss bigger. The show would have been a hit for Jr NTR but it has become a blockbuster due to concept and contestants as time passed.

Other day with Diksha Panth’s entry, the show got spicy through her swimming pool acts and hero Prince made it spicier by kissing her. Now check out how TRPs are going to rise for the episode that follows as people are eager to find out what will happen next!!
