Way back in 2010, leading Telugu producer Allu Arvind was accused that he has insulted the national flag and a petition was filed against him. Finally, after fighting in court for years, the top Tollywood filmmaker got a significant relief.

Back then, when Allu Arvind hoisted the tricolor at Chiranjeevi Blood Bank on August 15th, 2010, accidentally the flag was upside down, and rumors have that it has fallen on the floor a short while later. Hurt with the happening, All India Forward Block state secretary Muralidhar Deshpande complained about the incident at Jubilee Hills police alleging that Allu Arvind insulted our national flag. Though Chiranjeevi Blood Blank insulted an apology later, saying that “It is purely a human error which has resulted in the hoisting of the national flag upside down” and regretted it, the petitioner went ahead with his case.

Finally, other day Court made it clear that only intentional acts of insulting the national flag are punishable, but not accidental happenings, and quashed the case against senior Telugu producer. In fact, it is Allu Arvind who approached High Court to cancel this matter and give him relief. Back then, with Allu Arvind promoted as Prajarajyam Party leader, every single act of him went under the scanner by other political opponents. That’s how this case has come into existence, a belief many of Allu admirers.

A couple of weeks back, a piece of news has stunned Tollywood with one of the most eligible bachelors of Tollywood is likely to get married. It is everywhere that hero Nikhil is getting engaged to one Tejaswini Yadav who happens to be a daughter of a distant relative of the actor’s family. And other day, to everyone’s surprise, it was revealed that the engagement hasn’t happened on August 24th as the marriage was canceled basing on a decision taken by the families amicably.

Reacting on the same, Nikhil shared his thoughts with a leading English daily and clarified that they have not even thought about engagement on August 24th as publicised in news columns. “Tejaswini’s parents are finding out suitable matches for her from a long time. They have checked with us as well as one prospective match, but that doesn’t mean we are getting engaged. It’s only a rumor created in media” said Nikhil, about the news that mushroomed about his marriage.

At the same time, Nikhil also clarified that he’s going to get married only after two years later. “I’m just now picking up in the film industry by scoring some hits continuously. At this time I don’t want to take any breaks. So marriage is on the cards only two years later, and I’ve clarified the same to my parents too”, he says, adding that he will prefer an arranged marriage only any given day.

Those insiders who are pretty close to Nihil, however, opined still that Nikhil’s engagement would have taken place in case if the couple’s horoscopes do match.

Actress Shriya Saran is likely to enter wedlock soon. Apparently, Shriya’s parents and close relatives have been mounting pressure on Shriya to get hitched, and the Manam actress said to have finally agreed to her parents wish. In her recent interview, she disclosed the same to media.

When asked about her impending wedding, Shriya has admitted that she is under pressure from her parents to get married and she would tie the knot soon. However, Shriya hasn’t stated any specific time frame or who her groom-to-be would be. She neither shared that whether it is a love marriage or an arranged marriage.

Her words indicate that Shriya would soon settle her life with a person whom her parents choose. However, Shriya has added that she herself would make a formal announcement and asked media to refrain from spreading rumours still she makes the announcement.

Saaho has become big news thanks to Prabhas. The makers too are leaving no opportunity to make it bigger.Since the film is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, the producers are bringing in stars from all languages to keep the film in news in all languages.

In the past, during the making of Janatha Garage, the makers started including big names even as the production was on.
Now, the makers of Saaho too are adding to the starcast constantly.It is known that Shraddha Kapoor has been signed to play the leading lady opposite Prabhas.Prior to that, Neil Nithin Mukesh was signed to play the villain in the film.

Later, Jackie Shroff was signed and Chunkey Pandey who is back in reckoning has also been included to the cast.She is said to be playing a role called Kalki in the film, which will be a key character.Effort is also being made to rope in Jagapathi Babu and Mohan Lal into the film.However, both the actors who are quite sought-after these days in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, are not working for big remuneration.

They are being picky and signing the dotted line only if the character entices them. Now it remains to be seen if Saaho’s script attracts them.Meanwhile, it has come out that Prabhas will be playing a stylish cop in this high-budget, multi-lingual film.

The first season list of contestants for Bigg Boss Telugu was not really impressive and audience had hopes on few stars like Sampoo, Dhanraj, Mumaith Khan and Archana. Now, the tables are turned and the contestants who were least expected to entertain are not allowing the viewers to blink during the show telecast.

Sampoornesh Babu walked out much earlier and Dhanraj too could not last long in Bigg Boss house, while other contestants managed to build some impression of their own. Navdeep’s mature play induced energy to the show, but Hari Teja is dominating all her Bigg Boss house mates with her spontaneity and wit. Archana, Kalpana and Mumaith were front runners in the first few days, but now it is Hari Teja’s show all the way.

Not many knew who Hariteja is really, until Trivikram gave her a much needed break as actor through a side kick role in A Aa. Even then, she is known as a maid who travels with Samantha, but NTR’s Bigg Boss gave her a perfect platform to flaunt what she is capable of. When the most hyped and expected contestants failed to keep it up, Hariteja is attracting the viewers and made it almost a one sided show with her recent ‘Harikadha’ performance task. When few tasks troubled contestants, Hari teja turned unstoppable with the same.

Now many agree to the words of Trivikram, who compared Hariteja to legendary actress Suryakantham during A Aa audio release, which looked like a mere exaggeration that day. With her entertaining acts each day, Hari Teja seems like winner-to-be and this thought might have already struck remaining contestants’ minds too. Bigg Boss’s tasks apart, contestants need to come up with own tactics to break the speed of Hari Teja or she is sure to take the Bigg Boss title home.
