The plagiarism controversy surrounding “Agnyaathavaasi” has been settled. The agreement between T Series and the makers of “Agnyaathavaasi” has been closed amicably, say sources.It is said director Trivikram has not taken the entire plot of the French film “Largo Winch”, but has been inspired by some sequences.Since “Agnyaathavaasi” is a big movie that will also be dubbed in Hindi and telecast on Hindi channels, T-series will be losing a lot as it owns the remake rights of “Largo Winch”. Hence they sought compensation and Trivikram has agreed to pay for this, says the source.

This last-minute mess has caused a lot of worry to the producers of “Agnyaathavaasi” as they are about to intensify the promotions. They were enjoying good pre-release profits, but now they have been slashed.Since T-series backed out of going to the court and realized that the movie is not an exact copy, the producers are relieved. They are happy that they can now focus on promotions again.

The theatrical trailer is ready, but the team is in two minds about releasing it. However, if they don’t release the theatrical trailer, they will have to plan another last-minute promotional event.

Sharwanand has delivered back to back Sankranthi hits with Express Raja and Shatamanam Bhavati. Both the films were released against big budget films but went onto become super hits despite the competition.Sharwanand did it for the third time for last Dussehra where his film Mahanubhavudu achieved hit status while Jai Lava Kusa and Spyder ended up as average and flop respectively.

Now, young hero Raj Tarun is hoping to pull off similar feat with Rangula Ratnam, which is releasing against biggies like Agnyaathavaasi and Jai Simha.Produced by Nagarjuna, the film looks like a perfect rom-com with enough to offer for the families and youth. However, pitting it against a massive film like Agnyaathavaasi is a huge gamble.

Family entertainers generally succeed during festive period irrespective of the competition. However, Raj Tarun isn’t a decent crowd puller like Sharwanand.His previous films Kittu and Andhagadu couldn’t make much of an impact.

Can Raj Tarun withstand the competition and come out in flying colors with Rangula Ratnam?

India’s tour of South Africa started on Friday with the commencement of the first Test in Cape Town and Indian team were left reeling at 28/3 after bundling out the hosts for 286 in the first innings.It was the last hour of the day which didn’t go India’s way but the cricketers’ wives, who were present in the stands, cheered for their husbands throughout the day.

Among those who were present, the name which caught everybody’s attention was skipper Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma.The Bollywood diva was seen cheering for her husband along with Shikhar Dhawan’s wife Aesha, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s wife Nupur Nagar, and Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh.

India’s innings on day 1, however, rather disappointing as Virat Kohli’s perennial weakness outside the off-stump was once again exposed.In their 11 over burst during the final hour, the South African trio of Vernon Philander (1/13 in 4 overs), Dale Steyn (1/13 in 4 overs) and Morne Morkel (1/0 in 2 overs) troubled the Indian top-order with bounce, seam and swing.

Agnyaathavaasi is just five days away from hitting the marquee and the makers are yet to launch the theatrical trailer.Fans are getting frustrated with the promotions of Agnyaathavaasi as the makers are not keen on releasing posters through social media.

Both Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram don’t believe in promoting films. Agreed that the brand itself brings enough buzz to their films, but they should give their best to intensify the buzz by launching trailers and posters prior to the release.

Agnyaathavaasi trailer was supposed to be out by Friday evening, but there is not even a sign of it as yet.Fans are already losing hopes on trailer as the release is just days away from now. Besides the teaser launch, audio launch and a couple of making videos the team failed to come up with anything innovative in terms of promotions.

Looks like Trivikram is getting carried away by the hype and buzz that is surrounding the film. Industry sources say that he is the one who is not keen on launching the trailer.Pawan usually doesn’t bother much about such things and the producers of the film cannot even dare to question Trivikram, who is a godlike figure for them.

For quite some time, controversial film critic Kathi Mahesh has been under attack from the fans of power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan, for targetting the latter in the social media.Mahesh, too, has stretched the things too far and has vowed to see the defeat of Pawan in politics.

And now, Kathi Mahesh has become the target even for the fans of senior actor and Telugu Desam Party MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna.Reason: Mahesh made some alleged derogatory comments against Balakrishna, too.

Stating that Balakrishna deserves psychiatric treatment for his eccentric behaviour, the film critic said the sooner the actor is taken to the hospital for treatment by a specialist doctor, the better for the people of the state.It is not exactly known in what context Mahesh made these comments, but they had seriously hurt the fans of Balakrishna.

“It is totally unethical to beat people. Especially since he is an MLA, it is not a good culture to beat the people. Being a public representative, Balakrishna has absolutely no right to beat anyone,” he said.He went on to say that Balakrishna was living in a world of illusion.

“He seems to be feeling that he is a monarch ruling kingdoms and that he hails from a great dynasty. He definitely needs psychiatric counselling,” Mahesh observed.Needless to say, Mahesh is specifically targeting Telugu film stars, whose are being released for Sankranti.

As part of his agenda, he has already made several comments against Pawan Kalyan’s forthcoming film Agyathavasi.Now, he is targeting Balakrishna, whose film Jai Simha is up for release during the festival!

Well-known singer Ghazal Srinivas who was arrested on the charges of sexual harassment received a shock. A city court in Hyderabad rejected the bail plea of the singer.

The magistrate rejected the bail petition filed by Srinivas. He was arrested on January 2 for sexually harassing a woman in the office of Save Temples Organisation and remanded to judicial custody till January 12.

The prosecution opposed Ghazal Srinivas’ bail petition on the ground that if released on bail, he will tamper with the evidence or influence the witnesses. The court agreed with the argument and refused to grant bail to the accused. Police filed case against the singer on the basis of video evidence furnished by the complainant.
