Devi Sri Prasad is one music composer who is in huge demand despite the hits and flops his films and his albums do. He’s the first choice of consideration for big-budget films post Manisharma vanished and Keeravani turned selective. And then, here is a talk about him.

Of late, DSP is heard to prefer only foreign locations to compose the tunes of his films. Earlier he flew to Spain to compose the songs for Pawan Kalyan’s Atharintiki Daaredi. Now his next film’s producer Dil Raju gave the nod to DSP’s demand as they wanted quality tunes for the film.

Currently, he is in New York, USA, composing the tunes for Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film that will be directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Producer Dil Raju too joined the team for two weeks and returned to India a couple of days ago. Considering Devi’s track record, the makers are said to be investing huge amounts for these ‘costly’ music sittings.

Talking about the same, earlier producer BVSN Prasad confirmed that sittings in abroad will yield good results as there will be no disturbances from people and also phones. As this Rockstar’s previous albums composed while sittings in abroad are a hit, maybe producers are also feeling sentimental about it.

Actress Samantha, who has recently become a new member of both Akkineni and Daggubati families, bonds well with each and every member of the two celeb families.

Here is a lovely pic of Sam with Malavika Daggubati, the sister of Rana and the only daughter of producer Suresh Babu. The frame-worthy picture appears to have been taken during the recent reception hosted by Suresh Babu for Chay-Sam, where the entire Daggubati clan was in attendance.

Malavika Daggubati entered the wedlock with a Bangalore-based businessman in December, 2012, and she gave birth to a baby girl in December 2015, just three days before her third wedding anniversary. She prefers to lead a very private life, and rarely comes into media attention.

Young couple Varun Sandesh and Vithika Sheru, who tied the knot last year, are gearing up for the release of their first film after marriage.

Titled ‘Rayala Haram’, the film is said to be a socio-fantasy, set in the era of historical Telugu ruler, Sri Krishnadevaraya. The makers have recently released the working stills of the film, which also stars ‘Bindaas’ fame Sheena in a key role.

This is the first film to release after their marriage, so Varun and Vithika are quite excited. They fell in love while shooting for their 2015 film “Paddanandi Premalo Mari”, and eventually got married in August, 2016.

After NTR’s Bigg Boss turned out to be a huge boost for Star MAA, the TV channel has been in plans for many interesting shows. To replace the slot, a dance-based program Neethone Dance with Renu Desai as celebrity judge was brought in place and it is getting good reviews.

The TV show showcases the dance performances of small screen actors performing along with their life partners. Some of the interesting actors have been picked up and Star MAA has been promoting the show extensively across social media.

Other day, latest promo of an upcoming episode went viral all over in which a young couple has been spotted locking their lips after a stupendous dance performance. This created some sensational because many elders feel that lip-locks should be censored on the small screen as children also watch such programs. Though the dancers in the scene are a real-life couple, lip lock might come as provoking, say a few.

But some viewers are opining that audiences are getting matured each day and lip-kiss these days is not a big deal for the silver screen so is for a small screen. We have to wait and see if the lip-lock gets chopped on the small screen.

Tollywood sensation Vijay Devarakonda, who had excelled in and as ‘Arjun Reddy’, elaborately talked about the preparation went into playing that unforgettable character to perfection.

Devarakonda said that he had started imagining himself in Arjun Reddy’s character right after director Sandeep Vanga had completed the script narration.

“I understood the character’s emotions and why he behaves the way he does. I moulded myself, both physically and mentally according to the character’s requirement. Over the course of the film’s making, I stayed away from pleasant and feel-good films, and watched only dark dramas in order to prepare myself for the character I was asked to play,” the rising star narrated.

“The story was very powerful, and the director conceived it brilliantly. The command and understanding he has on the characters and the screenplay, and his suggestions helped me get into the skin of the character,” Vijay said talking about director Sandeep.

The young hero won huge applause for ‘living’ in the character.

Ever since director Sukumar has come up with the title “Rangasthalam 1985”, many people including mega fans are eagerly waiting to find out what is the logic behind selecting this title. And then there are various rumors that have done rounds about it.

One of the most popular rumors has that Ram Charan will be seen as a drama-artist in the movie in a story set in 1985. As the name ‘Rangasthalam’ aptly indicates the Telugu meaning of ‘stage’, many felt this is indeed true. But it looks like all these talks are just a figment of the imagination.

Very clearly, some of the pictures leaked straight from the 5 crores rupees worth set erected for Rangasthalam on the outskirts of Hyderabad are revealing the truth behind the title. It’s the name of a village set in Godavari region and the entire story happens there. Known as master craftsmen, Sukumar not only got gold spot bottles and soda making devices for the film to bring the pure vintage look, he also got the name boards of village designed as in olden days.

For now, a major part of shooting was wrapped in this location while other scenes involving Samantha will be shot once she returns from her honeymoon in London, UK. At the same time, Charan has also flown to Manali for a quick vacation before rejoining the sets.

Celebs take a break post completion of a project or they fly to snowcapped European countries most of the time during summers. But Mega heroes are setting new travel goals for their peers by leaving for a mega adventurous tour before the onset of winter.

Including Ram Charan, Upasana, Allu Arjun, Sneha Reddy and Allu Sirish, currently, this young mega gang is camping in the Himalayan region of Manali hill-station. They said to have enjoyed trekking through the Rohtang Pass that cuts through Kulu valley. While Upasna made Charan sit on a yak, and made it walk through, Sirish is busy capturing all these pictures on his OnePlus phone.

At the same time, lovely couple Bunny and Sneha also posed for the camera work of their doting little brother Sirish. Also, the gang visited the popular Manali Wildlife Sanctuary where Sirish is seen playing with rabbits, as he says, ‘posing with a cute bunny’. Later the gang enjoyed the sunsets as well as they hopped on the hills and then check into a local restaurant to enjoy local delicacies.

The gang of mega heroes and their wives are said to be having that gala time in the backdrop of snowcapped of Himalayas and at an altitude of nearly 6000 ft in the region. Especially in pre-winter, the snow just starts settling and the weather turns little cold and occasionally sunny, giving terrific feels to tourists.

Vikram Kumar is one talented filmmaker who can narrate complex and out of the box subjects in the most convincing and entertaining manner. Manam and 24 are fine examples for his brilliance. During the promotions of 24, about one and a half year ago, Vikram told that his next projects would be with Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu. It seems that none of the project is going to materialize even in coming years.

When Bunny was about to give his nod to Vikram after “Sarrainodu” last year, Harish Shankar came up with the subject of DJ and fled with the actor’s dates. Vakkantham Vamsi did the same after DJ. After “Na Peru Surya’, Bunny will do Lingusamy’s Tamil-Telugu bilingual. The names of young directors such as Vi Anand, Muruthi etc. are being heard as potential options in line for Bunny.

Coming to Mahesh Babu, he has committed with Vamsi Paidipally, Trivikram, Boyapati Sreenu, Rajamouli etc. for his next projects.

With both the star heroes he aspired to work with busy with respective commitments, Vikram Kumar, who is directing Akhil’s “Hello”, has reportedly chosen Nani for his next film. The natural star is currently busy with MCA and Krishnarjuna Yuddham. He was supposed to do Hanu Raghavapudi’s film next but latest reports suggest that Nani will work with Vikram Kumar instead.

Vikram hopes to prove his commercial stamina with Hello and Nani’s film, and thus attract the attention of star heroes.

Despite bagging mixed reviews, Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi is reasonably faring well at the ticket windows. Apart from Anupama, Sree Vishnu’s role got noticed well. Vishnu’s underdog and subtle performance as hero’s best friend yet prominent role is said to be well-received.

However, post the release of the film, Vishnu said to have got several similar offers in the ongoing films. While Vishnu is more particular about the script and variation in his character rather than screen presence, he is said to be considering the offers based on good scripts. Already, he is doing an equally-important role in Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu in which Nara Rohit, Sudheer Babu, Shriya Saran are part of the lead cast. With Vishnu also scored one good success with Rohit in Appatlo Okadundevadu, this combo is garnering good buzz. All these are bringing more multi-starrer films for Vishnu.

On the other hand, Vishnu is juggling with lead roles too. He is waiting for the release of Mental Madhilo, from the makers of Pelli Choopulu. Looks like, Sree Vishnu belongs to the best of both worlds. Let’s wait and see.

Despite having a huge pressure from fans & distributors who paid hefty amounts, the makers of Pawan Kalyan’s landmark film – PK 25 – have not announced the film’s title & first look for Pawan’s birthday i.e September 2. With a great demand from fans, makers have unveiled the film’s pre-look.

However, in a surprise move, producers of PK 25 are now toying with the idea of announcing the film’s title on November 7, coinciding with the birthday of Trivikram.

Apparently, producer Radhakrishna’s close proximity with Trivikram is the reason behind this move to announce the film’s title for Trivikram’s b’day. No doubt, Trivikram is as big as Pawan, however, Pawan is still a big star with humongous fan base. But by choosing Trivikram B’day as occasion to announce the film’s title instead of Pawan’s b’day is causing a debate in film circuits.

Many are murmuring that Radhakrishna is focusing more on Trivikram than PK. Is Trivikram more important for Radhakrishna (Chinna Babu) than Pawan?

Meanwhile, the talk is that Agnatavaasi is being considered for the film’s title. An official announcement is awaited though.
