Producer Michael Rayappan of “AAA” movie has accused that hero Simbu’s worst behaviour led to the failure of the movie on the financial side. Among his accusations, one thing that caught the attention of Tollywoood folks is that Simbu sent audio clips recorded in his bathroom to use as dubbing.

While that might sound little fantasy-like, but truth is that even many Telugu heroes are also flaunting similar behaviour. With the whole industry revolving around star heroes, their whims and fancies are to be satisfied always. Barring few professional heroes, even the youngsters are also indulging in similar behaviour only.

Recently when a star Telugu hero has to dub for a TV Commercial, he gave some suggestion about the lines he should say for the ad. As the creative director of the ad refused to make changes to the lines, the star hero didn’t dub for a line. In the final ad, the agency got a professional mimicry artist to get dubbing for those lines.

In another case, a young hero who proved himself as a lover boy actually got a chance to work with a star kid. And then, his ego got hurt due to preferential treatment to the star kid. For that, he hasn’t dubbed for the movie for the second time, to make some changes to the original lines. After much persuasion, he has sent voice clips on WhatsApp, which is used for the final version of the movie, with no other option.

On a concluding note, we have to say that our heroes no exception when it comes to torturing producers and directors when it comes to dubbing.

Tollywood has very few heroes who mesmerise with their amazing dances and Allu Arjun is one of them. This leading mega hero is now in the process of bringing a new choreographer from Bollywood for each of his new films.

In his recent movies, Allu Arjun worked with choreographers like Ganesh and Bosco as well, and now eyeing on another happening dance master. After watching some recent hit songs like ‘Humma humma’ remix, ‘Ude Dil Befikre’ and ‘Swag Se Swagat’, many will be impressed with the dances moves in those songs. Even Stylish Star is said to have got immensely bowled out with those moves.

Both those songs are choreographed by popular lady choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant. This 41-year-old choreographer rose to fame when she won National Award for her debut song as a dance master, “Dhol Baaje” for the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. She’s most sought-after choreographer now in Bollywood with star heroes who want to show their gracious dance moves to audiences.

Cut to Allu Arjun, we hear that Bunny now wants her to choreograph a song in Naa Peru Surya. If dates permit and all goes well, the lady choreographer might make her Tollywood debut.

The audio rights of Mahesh Babu’s Bharat Ane Nenu (BAN) have fetched a whopping Rs 1.9 Crore (including GST) approximately. Lahari Music has acquired these rights for the record price. Buzz is that the deal includes both audio songs and video songs.

The teaser of Mega princess Niharika Konidela’s debut Tamil film, “Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren” suggests that the film is likely to be an absurd yet hilarious dark comedy.

Niharika manages to evoke interest on her character in the film with the glimpses of hers in the 1-minute teaser. She is seen in two different looks, one of a modern girl and the other of a mythological character. Niharika is a natural at comedy, and this dark comedy seems to be a perfect opportunity for her to showcase her flair for and ease at acting, something which she couldn’t do so with the reserved character in her Telugu debut ‘Oka Manasu’.

The film is being planned for a January 2018 release.
