Saaho turned out to be the prestigious project of Telugu cinema after Baahubali Prabhas gave his nod for the film. After a massive blockbuster like Baahubali: The Conclusion, the actor started shooting for Saaho, and the national media is keeping a close watch on the film.Being made on a massive budget, this multi-lingual is directed by Sujeeth, and after a long time, the team has zeroed on Bollywood diva Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead. There have been several stories about the film doing rounds and so are about heroine’s role. From the news that she plays a dual role in the movie to some latest rumors, always Shradda’s part became a talking point.

After clarifying that she’s not playing a dual role, but only one character with dual shades, Shraddha Kapoor herself revealed again that she would be playing a cop in the film. Also, she added that there would be enough action episodes for her to perform. Shraddha alone revealed many exciting updates about Saaho. Also, she recently posted the pictures of the food that has been served for her. She even told many other updates about the film during the promotions of her next film Haseena Parkar with excitement.

Though the makers have been keeping things under wraps, it is Shraddha who has been leaking many exciting updates about Saaho, and that is what worries the makers now. Because Baahubali was such a hit because of the secrecy, they maintained about each character till the end. Hope Shraddha will understand this logic soon.

Star heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set to get married to actor Naga Chaitanya on October 6th in Goa. The duo is currently busy wrapping up their current commitments and will take a long break after their wedding.However, Samantha has been recently in the news for her recent photo shoot which resembles her of a bride. Most of her admirers are left confused thinking as if those are her wedding gowns and wondered how come she’s wearing such hot and revealing outfits for marriage. There is no rule that she should not wear, but herself being a celebrity and many distinguished guests likely to attend the event, why would she dare to flaunt her curves at the ceremony?

In case if you’re thinking that way, then you are wrong. The news is that Samantha shares a close bonding with top designer Kresha Bajaj Zaveri who has earlier designed her engagement clothes. Kresha has now created a newest wedding collection, calling it the Lovestory Lehenga 2.0, and as a friendly gesture, Samantha has been posing for the designer’s new lookbook.

Anyway, as Samantha is the newest bride-to-be, many thought that those lehengas are for her marriage. Also, her comments on those pics always fooled people to believe that they are her bridal dresses. In reality, there is no connection between those sexy outfits and Samantha!!

Fidaa success seems to have gone into head of Sai Pallavi. This is industry talk right now. Rumours are rife that Sai Pallavi had a huge fall out with her co-star recently. Reason is her attitude on sets. The talented hero is said to be upset with Sai Pallavi’s attitude on sets.

Talk is that Sai is coming late to shoots these days and when assistant directors are questioning her delay, she is allegedly not bothering to reply to them.Recently, Sai Pallavi and the hero said to have openly fell out on the sets. Talk is that the actor has walked out of the sets midway expressing his dissent on Sai Pallavi.

While we are not sure whose fault it was exactly, but definitely, getting into controversies at this juncture of her career is not good for Sai Pallavi.

The announcement made by maverick film maker Ram Gopal Varma that he would make a film on legendary actor and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N T Rama Rao has triggered an interesting debate in the media and film circles.

The latest announcement from Varma came in the backdrop of senior actor and Telugu Desam Party MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna’s plan to make a biopic on his father covering all aspects of his life. Balakrishna said he would play the role of his father.

On the other hand, Varma said his film was not exactly a biopic on NTR, but it will have focus on the latter’s widow Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi.

He declared that he would expose the truths and lies of those who stabbed in the back of NTR, obviously referring to TDP president and present AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

The TDP camp is apprehensive that if Varma makes the film with focus on Lakshmi Parvathi, he would definitely project Naidu in bad light. That is precisely why TDP spokesman Babu Rajendra Prasad said the film would not be allowed to run in theatres unless it got clearance from Naidu.

But, Varma said he would care two hoots for the TDP leaders.

“Who the hell is this Babu Rajendra Prasad? I never heard of him. Nobody can deny my right to make a film on NTR, just as his family members have. There is definitely some speciality in Lakshmi Parvathi, otherwise, she would not have become NTR’s wife. You cannot tear, or burn or wipe out history,” Varma said.

Now, the question is who will have the last laugh on NTR’s biopic. As the things stand now, neither Balakrishna nor Varma has the resources or guts to make the film on NTR. They are looking for some scapegoat producers to make the film. And one doubts either would do justice to the film!

Other day Rana Daggubati graced the opening of a shopping mall, and today a leading English daily quoted that he charged 15 lakhs for attending the event. And then there is buzz everywhere that Vijay Devarakonda took 30 lakhs to participate in the same event. Is Rana cheaper than Vijay considering the big image he has across the nation?

Actually, Rana is said to have charged 15 lakhs just to grace the event for 10 minutes of time, while Vijay is taking home 30 lakhs to endorse the particular brand for nearly a year. In that case, Rana made a bigger deal of money than his young competitor. However, film lovers are not so happy with Rana getting associated with local brands, provided the fact that has a pan-India image.

The general notion is that heroines who have lesser hits or during their budding time in the film industry, they take up these ribbon cuttings. But after becoming stars, they endorse only national level brands and products. That’s the case with many starlets like Samantha and Shruti Haasan. And someone who got to rose to Rana’s level of popularity among the heroes will not surely accept such local projects at lower prices. So, some people do think that Rana should not turn up at such local events.

Anyway, endorsing a brand or attending an event either for free or at a lesser cost or higher pay packet is something purely dependent on how the celebrity wants to project himself.

Bollywood beauty Shraddha Kapoor has been finalized to essay the female lead in Prabhas’s next outing Saaho. The shoot of the film is taking place in Hyderabad and is being directed by Sujeeth. Shraddha is said to have been quite impressed with the way the movie unit is treating her. Prabhas sent his best wishes to the actress for her upcoming movie Haseena Parkar, the life story of mafia don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister.

Shraddha Kapoor essayed the title role and Haseena Parkar received poor response from the audience. The film hit screens today and failed to get decent openings all over. However Shraddha Kapoor’s performance has been widely appreciated by the audience.

Haseena Parkar’s director Apoorva Lakhia has been slammed for his poor directorial abilities. However he has been lauded for the efforts he has put in researching about the character Haseena Parkar. The director took a four long years break to make Haseena Parkar, after his previous film Zanjeer, a disaster that embarrassed Ram Charan in Bollywood.

With NTR portraying three different roles, of course, he is the man of the moment in Jai Lava Kusa. However, what is conspicuous and shocking is Nivetha’s brief role in the film.

Nivetha Thomas has not got good enough role in the film. The girl who impressed critics and audiences alike with her performance in Gentleman and Ninnu Kori, has come up with very normal role in Jai Lava Kusa. In fact, her role is drawing flak from many. The confusion in her love interest – Kusa & Jai – has not gone down well with critics.

Many were wondering what happened to this talented beauty. Nivetha looked quite odd in Jai Lava Kusa. She is not in her elements and is quite disappointing to many.

It’s time for Nivetha to be choosy about her roles and pick wiser roles. Else, she would fall into the category of regular heroines.
