Most of the times in our movies, only heroes will be romancing heroines while villains will either try to force heroines or have their own item girls.

Treading on the same path, it is expected that both Lava and Kusa characters in Jr NTR’s triple action bonanza #JaiLavaKusa will have a lady each to romance, and evil-laced Jai character will not have any. But it seems like that assumption is wrong.

If the recently released picture from Jr NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa is anything to go by, one of the most negative characters played by NTR in the film is romancing dusky mallu beauty, Nivetha Thomas. Though everyone expected both the good-NTR characters to romance Rashi Khanna and Nivetha respectively, it looks like the idea inside is different.

Look at that piercing on the ear of NTR in this picture and then the twirled moustache as well. It’s Jai with Ravanasura shades who is appearing quite dapper and doing a hot romance with Nivetha, who seems to have upped her sex appeal. Till date she flaunted only her homely looks, saying that she’s not a glamour material, but it looks like she started transforming into a diva-type heroine now.

Going by some other leaked pics, it looks like Lava Kumar is romancing Rashi Khanna, while Playboy and cunning like Kusa didn’t have a heroine in the film. And that means Kusa will feature in that item number that has Tamanna shaking her hip!!

Puri Jagannadh has reportedly charged a bomb to Paisa Vasool producer. Allegedly, Puri & co have taken an exorbitant sum of Rs 30 Crore + GST as package that includes Puri’s remuneration and fees of all actors, technicians worked for the film excluding the fee of Balakrishna.

Barring Shriya Saran, the film doesn’t have any noted actor who needs to pay much. The two female actresses Musskin, Kyra Dutt are newcomers and hence, they don’t get much. In fact, Puri’s team has hired Anoop as music composer who would not demand much.

Apparently, Puri and Charmi’s Puri Connects was the backbone for the film who executed the whole production of the film including finalizing the shooting locations and their costs. Except Portugal, the film doesn’t boast any other picturesque locale.

As per the insiders, the whole Paisa Vasool has costed Rs 45 Crore for producer. While Puri & co charged Rs 30 Crore and GST, Balayya charged another Rs 10 Crore. Including miscellaneous charges, the film said to have wrapped up within Rs 45 Crore.

Since Paisa Vasool is immediate film after Balayya’s Gauthamiputra Satakarni, producer was hopeful of raking in moolah. In fact, the film was sold out to buyers and producer too made enough money before its release and played it safe. However, it is buyers who would pay the heavy price. Going by the present trend, the film would end up as a colossal flop.

Whatever a big celebrity or someone with a political inclination does, then immediately analysts look it through a magnifying class and go on counting the tentacles on an egg. One such rumor is currently bothering Pawan Kalyan fans as several gossips emerged about his recent visit to a spiritual leader, a baba, along with director Trivikram.

Apparently, rumours have come out that Pawan and Trivikram are regulars to this Baba who professes about good omens and bad muhurats. Taking up his advice, the duo is said to be planning their film shoots, release plans, and other stuff. Being Hindus by birth and practice, one wonders what is wrong in case of Pawan Kalyan follows a baba or takes the advice of spiritual leaders and believing in horoscopes and muhurats.

Few political observers are criticising Pawan quite badly that how come a so-called progressive thinker and future politician rely so much on Babas. Well, in the first place, guess a name in political clout which is not attached to this stuff? Be him/her from any community, caste and creed, if they are from India, they are bound to have such beliefs. From Narendra Modi to Chandra Babu, Amitabh Bachchan to Chiranjeevi, Rajnikanth to Mohanlal, Priyanka Chopra to Samantha, Mukesh Ambani to Galla Jayadev, who’s not religious and who is not believing in horoscopes and muhurats?

Most of the times as political detractors talk about Pawan Kalyan’s three marriages, his caste-based outlook, his lesser tweets and his limited understanding of politics, he’s busy highlighting Uddanam Issue, he meets people at Harvard, and he puts rationale into the progressive thought process that could build a new world. Guess, who is winning the game!!

While ‘Arjun Reddy’ is being called by many as a path breaking film, some are dubbing it as a controversial and hideous film. After politician VH and anchor Anasuya, small-time actress Shravya Reddy has become the latest celeb to make controversial comments on not just the film but against the film’s heroine and director.

Talking about the film, Shravya said that ‘Arjun Reddy’ is one of those rare films that gave her headache. She berated the makers for choosing ‘Arjun Reddy’ title for the film. ‘How could the film be named ‘Arjun Reddy’ when the actual name of the protagonist in the film is Arjun Reddy Deshmukh. He is not Reddy but Deshmukh,’ she wrote on her social media page.

Targeting the film’s heroine, Shalini Pandey, Shravya Reddy commented that the heroine doesn’t have the face value that a man should go for a war or get addicted to drugs for her.

Shravya needs to understand that ‘Love’ is related to ‘Souls’ and not ‘Body’ or physical appearance. ‘Being a woman and moreover an actress herself, she shouldn’t have made such cheap comments at a woman. By the way, what right she has to make comments at other actress? Her filmography demonstrates the kind of roles she does in films,’ are some of the backlashes she received on social media for her cheap comments.

Taking on the director, Shravya questioned if he wanted to convey people should lose hope on life if they fail in love.

Her original Facebook post read
