After having been denied 5 times before, Malayalam actor Dileep was finally given bail on Tuesday in his sixth plea. He had been in police remand for 85 days in the case of abduction and molestation of an actress.

The actor was earlier denied bail five times – twice by a magistrate court and thrice by the Kerala High Court. The High Court had last week denied his bail for the 5th time saying that he might influence the case if he is given bail. On Tuesday, Dileep breathed a sigh of relief as he was given bail after having been in police remand for nearly three months.

Dileep is accused of hiring a gang to abduct and assault the actress to settle a personal score in February this year.

Nandamuri Balakrishna has once again made it to the headlines by allegedly manhandling a TDP activist this time.

The incident happened on Tuesday when Balayya took part in the party’s ‘Intintiki TDP’ campaign in his Hindupur constituency in Ananthapur district. As part of the programme, Balayya was visiting houses in Boyapati village. A horde of people – the actor’s fans as well as TDP activists were accompanying him.

In such crowded situations, people pushing one another is very common. When the actor found a person hurriedly going past him, seemingly pushing him aside, Balayya allegedly slapped him and was seen saying something to him. The situation however was under control.

Hailed as the most eligible bachelor in the country after Salman Khan, Baahubalian hero Prabhas has earlier maintained that he will get married post Baahubali second part release. But he has now rushed into Saaho shooting and there is no talk about his nuptials. When quizzed about it, he gave some interesting replies.

“Actually I don’t want to talk about stuff related to marriage quite publicly. When I get married, surely I will let everyone know about it” he said, trying to stop the thirsty media from posing that questions time and again. At the same time, he gave a clarity about some other stuff.

When questioned about how his fantasy bride, Prabhas made interesting remarks. “During childhood, I used to think Godavari village girls will be better. Later I felt that a girl should be beautiful. And then I started thinking that a girl should be intelligent. My opinions change every year with time so I don’t have any fantasy bride like requirements on my mind”, stated Prabhas.

As this hunk hero is not getting married from a long time, there are rumours mushrooming that he’s actually dating Anushka Shetty, his Baahubali co-star. Reacting on this, he said, “When a hero and heroine work together in a couple of films, people usually link them up. I and Anushka are good family friends from a long time, and we want that to be it. We usually laugh off these rumours, but sometimes I too get a doubt if there is something between us. But in reality, there is nothing such”.

To sum up, there is neither a fantasy bride nor Anushka in Prabhas’ mind for now.

Apparently, a rumour has come out that mega hero Ram Charan agreed to do a cameo for Allu Arjun. Earlier when Charan has taken up Yevadu, his cousin Bunny starred in the popular cameo though the two are not seen together in the film. And now it looks like Charan is doing the payback. What’s the truth in this rumour anyway?

At the moment Allu Arjun and his team are busy canning some important scenes in Ooty regarding their latest movie “Na Peru Surya”. As per rumours, this Vakkantam Vamsi directorial might feature Ram Charan in a cameo as a military officer who will be a colleague of Allu Arjun. When checked with sources close to Charan, it is revealed that there is no such possibility.

“We don’t know whether Bunny asked Charan to star in such guest appearance or not. But for now, Charan can’t take part in the cameo shoot as a military officer because he has to cut his hair for that role. Already he has grown long hair and thick beard for Rangasthalam 1985 and the shooting is yet to complete. So without wrapping Sukumar’s movie, he can’t now risk changing his look to take part in any other shoot” a source informed, revealing that ‘haircut’ might spin a trouble.

For now, we could say that Allu Arjun and Ram Charan starring together might be a figment of imagination but anyway if the same idea reaches Na Peru Surya creative team, it’s not a tough task to achieve.

Director Koratala Siva openly stated sometime back that as a popular director never gave him credit for his writing, he has chosen to become a director. Treading on the same path, another young guy also quit writing to become a director and he showed that in his current film as well.

In a freewheeling interview with a radio station, director KS Ravindra (Bobby) told that when his name went missing from a film he worked, he realised that he has to become a director to get the identity he deserves. Noticing this, Raviteja has given him the chance to become a director and that’s how “Power” movie happened.

Guess what, Bobby has showcased this to the whole of industry as an indirect lesson in his latest movie “Jai Lava Kusa”. Though he may not agree to it, the whole of #JLK is about a big brother not getting identity within his family and then turning into a fugitive who would harm the society. In real life, writers like Koratala and Bobby turned to good, but JLK’s Jai turned to bad things, that’s the only difference.

Will film industry look at this indirect lesson positively and give credit to the original writer or anyone involved in crafting a film? That’s something only time will tell and as we are talking about this ‘indirect lesson’, a writer is complaining to concerned authority that a director has lifted his story.

Hot Srilankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez is busy with number of Bollywood movies. She has been in news because of the pole dance in her recent outing A Gentleman and the speculations about dating actor Siddarth Malhotra.

The duo worked together for A Gentleman and there were strong rumors that they got close during the long Europe schedule in which most of the film has been shot. It is also heard that Siddarth’s girlfriend Alia Bhatt too was not comfortable about this and Jacqueline Fernandez brought a huge gap between the love pair.

However during a recent talks show, Jacqueline Fernandez revealed ‘I did not date Siddarth during the shoot of A Gentleman and I happened to reveal the same to Alia Bhatt through a phone conversation. It is after that me and Alia started exchanging messages on twitter. Siddarth Malhotra is a close friend of mine and we share great chemistry on screen’ she said.

Furthermore she added, ‘If given an opportunity to work with Alia, I will not miss the opportunity’. Jacqueline Fernandez finally ends the story revealing the real news.
