Being the huge star she is, media is bound to follow Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She always greets them, and happily poses for shutterbugs. However, how some photo journalists behaved the other day left the evergreen beauty in incessant tears.

On Monday, on the birthday of her late father, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took the noble decision of sponsoring the treatment of 100 kids who were born with cleft lips and palates, a condition her father was born with as well. Along with her daughter Aaradhya, she visited the SMILE foundation, cut a cake in her father’s memory, and spent time with the children who were chosen to get operated.

So far, it has been a heartwarming story, and Aish was happy to do some noble thing in her father’s memory. However, what turned the memorable day a nightmare for her is the inescapable presence of media. Irritated by the chaos caused by media personnel, Aish broke down in tears, and requested them to stop taking pictures. She reminded them that it was not a film premiere or a Bollywood party, and asked them to show some decency and respect.

Actually, media didn’t have invitation for the event, but they intruded the event to get pictures of Aish.

Will any producer ask audience to watch the pirated version of his just-released film? No, would be the obvious answer. But, here is the interesting case when the producer of Karthi’s recently released film, ‘Khakee’ asked a fan to watch a good piracy print of the film.

Recently, a movie buff from overseas asked SR Prabhu, one of the producers of ‘Khakee’, how he could watch the film citing that it didn’t release in the area he resides. The producer then suggested the enthusiastic movie lover to wait for 25 days to see it on Amazon Prime Video.

“If you can’t wait that long, you can find a good quality pirated version online. But, please make sure to donate $10 to the needy after watching the pirated film. I will be happy and so will u be,” added the producer.

Quite an interesting suggestion from the producer, isn’t it? The movie seeker’s reply was equally interesting. He said that he doesn’t want to encourage piracy and that he will watch the film on Amazon Prime Video only.

Of late, the most rumored rivals of the Telugu film industry, the Mega camp, and Nandamuri camp, are displaying an affection that couldn’t be spelled in words and a camaraderie that will be tough to explain.

Especially the year 2017 has become a showoff this new friendship. While they might have shared such bonding from long time, this year exposed it to a new level.

Early in January this year, both Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna wished each other best success at the box office for Gautamiputra Satakarni and Khaidi No 150 respectively. Both called each other as a close friend during promotions and showered appreciation. That itself set a lovely ambiance despite their box office clash.

At Filmfare awards this year, the big surprising feat got pulled off with Allu Arjun and Jr NTR seated next to each other. As the show started, they started pulling many laughs, discussing stuff and then inquisitively listening to each other.

Then the biggest surprise of the year happened with Pawan Kalyan turning a Chief Guest for the launch of NTR’s new film under Trivikram’s direction. There also Pawan and NTR shared intense camaraderie, that none could decode. Especially when the laughed at each other’s joke uncontrollably, it set a festival like the atmosphere around.

At Jai Lava Kusa post-release celebrations, Ram Charan and NTR bonded big time and Kona Venkat has frozen their chemistry into a lovely picture. Treading in a similar path, both Kalyan Ram and Sai Dharam Tej also met on separate occasions at various private events.

And then, the mega picture that broke the internet has come, with Rajamouli sharing his photo with Tarak and Charan, leaving everyone clueless and shocked. Whether this is just a casual picture or an indication of some film is not known, but it just amazed and still trending on the internet.

Unlike Bollywood celebs who flaunt their chemistries at parties all through the year, South industries have another quality to share. They are not just stars but also good friends. And then, this reunion party that takes place every year is just amazing.

From last couple of years, we are witnessing all the stars who debuted in 80s meeting every year. The list is very big which includes heroes Chiranjeevi, Venky, Mohan Lal, Suresh, Naresh, Arjun, Banuchander, Suman, Rahman. And dazzling heroines of that era including Radhika, Kushbu, Suhasini, Ambika, Radha, Jayasudha, Ramya Krishna, Sumalatha, Revathi, Sobhana and Nadiya and others.

Every year this gang meets at one specific location and makes sure that they are all themed. Yes, they wear similar color, similar wear. Once it is beachwear, and then it is ethnic wear. This year the batch decided to wear mauve (purple like) shaded clothes and catch up. By looking at the picture you can say how dazzling they are.

And now, look at the pics yet again and catch all of your favorite stars there. It’s just a wow moment for stars and also their fans.

Earlier when Bollywood has come up with a biopic of Silk Smitha, there are rumors that Tollywood’s former superstar invited the poor brother of this slain actress to file a lawsuit against Bollywood makers. They are not actually rumored news, indeed true. And now, a similar situation has arisen.

Giving all possible hints that their film Julie 2’s story deals with a top south actress, producer Pahlaj Nihalani created a panic in Telugu film circles. With many media folks pointing fingers that it is the story of heroine Nagma, who happens to be a politician now, some unwanted gossip is triggering a panic Film Nagar.

Apparently, a senior producer was said to be a huge patron of this senior starlet. At the same time, a star director of that time is also said to be having a special interest in this actress. Now, heirs of these two biggies are contemplating to take legal action against the filmmakers in case if their parents are portrayed in bad light inside the movie.

Even during Silk Smitha biopic “The Dirty Picture”, the makers never officially stated that it is the film based on South’s biggest sex siren, though they gave enough hints through looks and names. So, it will not be technically possible to snub Julie 2 makers legally. We have to see what happens.

Sai Dharam Tej forayed into Tollywood as the nephew of Megastar Chiranjeevi. From then on, he has established himself as a potential hero both because of his talent and hard work, and the platform set by Chiru and Pawan. To what extent is Tej enjoying the Mega hero tag?

>Despite his last two films were outright disasters, Tej has no shortage of producers and directors. Even a top director like VV Vinayak has come forward to direct him, all thanks to the aforementioned reasons.

On the flip side, Tej is finding it tough to get a good release date for his films. He is being forced to sacrifice potential dates, especially festivals, because either a bigger star from his family or some other is booking them. He naturally can’t release his films in competition with Mega family films, and his producers are averting clash with other star hero films, finally settling for not-so prosperous release dates.

For Jawaan, Tej had to let go Independence Day weekend as well as Dusshehra seasons in the quest for a safe release. The movie is finally gearing up for December 1 release. Coming to his film with Vinayak, makers had announced February 9 release, on the eve of Maha Shivarathri.

This decision was made keeping in mind that Pawan was arriving for Sanakranthi, and Charan and Bunny were coming in early summer. Now, even this release date may get a change as Varun Tej’s ‘Tholi Prema’ is releasing on the very same date.\As far as release dates are concerned, Sai Dharam Tej is really facing hardships.

Brace up for an interesting multistarrer from two of the most happening heroes in Tollywood – Sharwanand and Nithin. What’s more, the film will be bankrolled by numero uno producer, Dil Raju.

After directing Allu Arjun in DJ, Harish Shankar planned to do a multistarrer, and registered the title, ‘Dagudu Moothalu’. After bankrolling Harish’s last three films, Dil Raju had yet again showed interest to produce this film. So, the project was set, then arose the question, who will be the two heroes to play the lead roles in the film? Harish has so far been keeping his cards very close his chest about the casting.

A source in the know however has spilled beans, and we have come to know that Harish had already narrated the script to both Sharwa and Nithin, and got their affirmative. He is currently giving finishing touches to the script. Once his final narration gets the approval of both the actors, Harish is expected to make a formal announcement.

If the talented director manages to sign both Sharwa and Nithin, it would be nothing less than a casting coup since both of them are crowd pullers. Hairsh had faced flak for playing safe game in his earlier films. Can he salvage his reputation with this exciting multistarrer? The project is likely to kick off in mid-2018.

Here is the exclusive News. Stylish Star Allu Arjun has apparently given a golden chance to director VI Anand. The actor has asked VI Anand to come up with a story that would fit him and he agreed to work with him.

What’s more? Already, Geetha Arts has given advance to director VI Anand for this impending project.

Going into details, Allu Arjun said to have heard great things about Sirish’s Okka Kshanam during its filming. He has heard the story of Okka Kshanam and saw a few rushes from the film which said to have impressed him

If all goes well, director VI Anand may direct none other than Stylish Star Allu Arjun. Needless to say that this would push Anand into the big league of directors.

“Many times you have canceled an exam when accusations popped up on the leaked question paper. But why not cancel Nandi Awards now with severe accusations coming their way?” questioned actor Krishna Murali to Telugudesam government of Andhra Pradesh today. He received Best Supporting Actor for Temper movie at the recently announced awards.

Threatening to give back his Nandi and owing to never touch it again in his life, Posani breathed fire against TDP, Chandrababu and Nara Lokesh for making Andhraites living in Hyderabad feel like non-locals with their statements.

“Some people are calling us Telugu Rohingyas. While KCR, a staunch Telanganite, has called us his sons, you’re making us non-locals. Learn from him about treating everyone equal” he said, miffed with the comments of Nara Lokesh that all those accusing Nandi crybabies don’t even have an ID Card with Andhra address.

“You (Lokesh) are paying property tax of your permanent residence in Hyderabad to Telangana government only. So how come you ask about our local and non-local status? Will you say that those who vote for Telugudesam are Andhraites? Or will you arrange passports for all to come to Andhra Pradesh?”, Posani questioned.

“If these Nandi awards are not canceled and then awarded again based on a survey as said by Chandrababu garu, I’m not going to accept it. I will not dare to touch this Nandi forever in life, till I die if these awards (2014-16 awards) are not canceled” he concluded.
