We have seen young Tamil heroes Arya (Varudu) and Aadi Pinisetti (Sarrainodu) playing villain characters in big ticket Telugu films, in their bid to become a noted face in a film industry as huge as Tollywood. Now, a star Tamil hero has expressed his willingness to turn villain in Telugu films if he gets a meaty character.
Tamil hero Vishal, who dubs all of his films in Telugu, has sizable market in Telugu as well. The actor has in a recent interaction with Telugu media said that he wouldn’t think of remuneration or his stardom to play negative characters if he was offered a role which could remain memorable for a long time. He gave the example of Mohanlal’s latest Malayalam film, “Villain”, in which he had essayed a character with negative shades.
As the hero has made his stance clear, its now the job of Telugu filmmakers to come up with characters that compel him to sign them. Its always interesting to see heroes essaying negative characters, isn’t it?
On a related noted, Vishal’s new film, “Detective” is scheduled to hit screens on November 10. The film’s Tamil version, “Thupparivalan” received rave reviews and became a decent earner.
Nandamuri Bakakrishna is currently shooting for “Jai Simha”. Will NTR Biopic be his next film or will he wind up another film before stepping into his father’s shoes? Our sources have divulged that Balayya could do veteran director SV Krishna Reddy’s film after “JAI Simha” if time and other factors permit.
It is known that director Teja has been chosen by Balayya to direct NTR biopic. The director however will have to complete a film with Venkatesh before moving on to NTR biopic. As per the latest reports, Teja-Venkatesh film will be launched on December 13, on the eve of Venky’s birthday. It would take at least 3 to 4 months for Teja to complete this film, and then he will have to finish the pre-production and casting of NTR biopic before commencing the shoot, it seems a lengthy process.
On the other hand, Balayya’s “Jai Simha” is scheduled to release for Sankranthi 2018. The film’s shooting is expected to be wrapped up by December. NTR biopic will be launched on January 14, but the shooting will not commence immediately. Balayya, who doesn’t like to sit idle, could easily wrap up another film before Teja could be ready to start the shooting of NTR biopic.
Sources revealed that Balayya might take up SV Krishna Reddy’s film, which was in news a few months ago. Balayya was impressed with the script, but no producer did reportedly come forward to invest on Krishna Reddy. Reports suggested that Balayya even asked him to give away the story and that he would rope in another director, but Krishna Reddy was adamant on directing the film. With no producer willing to bankroll the film, and Krishna Reddy adamant on giving away the script, the film hasn’t yet materialized.
It needs to be seen whether waits for Teja or do another film, either SV Krishna Reddy’s or some other project.

A gunman went into a Baptist church in Texas during Sunday morning services and shot dead some two dozen worshippers, the sheriff said, in the latest mass shooting to shock the United States.
A total of 26 people were killed during the gunman’s shooting rampage at a Texas church during Sunday services. Exactly five weeks after the worst shooting in modern US history, the latest tragedy prompted an outpouring of condolences, led by US President Donald Trump.
The worshippers were gunned down at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a small rural community about 50 kilometers southeast of San Antonio.
With details rapidly unfolding, some unnamed officials were quoted as citing tolls as high as 27 dead and 20 or more wounded.
The gunman reportedly walked into the church shortly before noon — at a morning service that witnesses said was normally attended by some 50 people — and opened fire.
The dead included the 14-year-old daughter of pastor Frank Pomeroy, the church leader told ABC News.
And Sunday’s tragedy came just over two years after a white supremacist, Dylann Roof, entered a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, and shot nine people to death.
Indian women’s hockey team won their biggest title in recent years after thumping China in the summit clash of women’s Hockey Asia Cup on Sunday.
India women managed to hold off China 5-4 in shootout in the final. The match went to shootouts after the score was 1-1 after regular time. In the nail-biting shoot-out, the two teams were tied at 4-4 after five regular shots, and the winner was decided by the last resort, ‘Sudden Death’. India’s Rani scored the winner in the sudden death whereas China missed it, thus giving India 5-4 victory.
Incidentally, India lost to China when they entered the final the last time, in 2009, so it’s a sort of sweet revenge as well. India women won all their matches in the group stages and remained unbeaten in the tournament.
This was India’s second Asia Cup title win after they had won it last in 2004 in New Delhi. With this victory, India also qualified for the next year’s Hockey World Cup.
Star comedian Sapthagiri who made his debut as hero with ‘Sapthagiri Express’, is back with his next film in lead role, ‘Sapthagiri LLB’. The film’s teaser has been unveiled, and it looks more like a song teaser than film teaser.
The film is the official remake of hit Bollywood film ‘Jolly LLB’, which was praised for solid content, nicely packed emotions and entertainment. In the teaser of Sapthagiri LLB, not a single clue about the plot was given, not even the character of Sapthagiri was introduced properly. It seemed like an attempt to showcase Sapthagiri as a commercial hero with a heroism-elevating introductory song, dances and fights. Sapthagiri’s dances however deserve applause.
It needs to be seen whether the remake stays true to the original or gets diluted for the sake of adding masala.
Fans of Pawan Kalyan who were expecting the unveiling of first look and title of his upcoming film, PK25 on the eve of director Trivikram’s birthday (Nov 7), will receive a gift for sure, albeit a surprising one.
The first single from the film, ‘Baitikochi chuste’ will be released on Nov 7. This is probably the first time a song is coming out from a film whose title hasn’t been announced yet. Fans, who have been patiently waiting for months, are obviously elated and they have already started trending the #BaitikochiChuste hashtag on social media. This could be the beginning of the film’s promotional activities.
Actually, a glimpse of ‘Baitikochi Chuste’ song was unveiled on the eve of Pawan Kalyan’s birthday in September as a musical surprise. And, the full single is coming out on the eve of Trivikram’s birthday. It is the first Telugu song composed by Anirudh to be officially unveiled.
The film’s shooting is currently underway in Bulgaria. January 10, 2018 is the D Day.
Gorgeous actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who stole the hearts of movie lovers with her charismatic looks and commendable performance in Mani Ratnam’s “Cheliyaa” is widely considered as a Bollywood import. But, what not many knows is that she was born and raised in Hyderabad, that too in a royal family.
Hydari’s Wikipedia page reads, “Hydari was born into two royal lineages, that of Muhammad Saleh Akbar Hydari and J. Rameshwar Rao of erstwhile Raja of Wanaparthy family. She is the great granddaughter of Akbar Hydari, former Prime Minister of Hyderabad and the grand niece of Muhammad Saleh Akbar Hydari, former Governor of Assam”.
This 31-year-old royal Hyderabadi actress is now all set to make her debut in Telugu film industry (Cheliyaa was the dubbed version of a Tamil film). Critically acclaimed Telugu film director Indraganti Mohana Krishna has reportedly signed Hydari to play the female lead in his next film, a romantic comedy. Sudheer Babu is on board to play the hero. Hydari is the perfect mixture of elegant looks and acting prowess, probably the reason why Indraganti chose her for a meaty role in his new film.
She will be next seen in upcoming Bollywood biggie, “Padmavati”.
