Thala Ajith has been creating ripples with his stylish look in his next movie titled Vivegam. Shot mostly across the beautiful locales of Europe, Vivegam is one among the most awaited films. Shiva directed the film and Kajal Agarwal is the female lead.

The movie’s teaser has been a smashing hit all over and it crossed 19 million views on youtube which is huge. The teaser even got 5,27,230 likes (by the time this article is being written) which is huge for an Indian movie. That makes Vivegam teaser create a record becoming the second most liked teaser on youtube after Star Wars: The Last Jedi teaser which is leading the list.

Vivegam movie even surprised everyone with the pre-release business of Rs 120 crores which is huge. The film has been slated for August 24th release all over and it has a huge dose of action episodes throughout.

Sensational director Teja has finally scored a hit with ‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’, after several years. While he is being flooded with accolades for penning a power-packed story and presenting it in a engaging and emotional manner, a rumor is slowly spreading in film circles that he hijacked the film’s story from a budding writer.

Going by the emerging reports in film circles, the story of NRNM was penned by a small-time writer, Thimma Reddy. Impressed by his narration, Teja reportedly offered him story credit and decent remuneration, and kept him as his associate until he weaved the bound script. ‘Once the film went on floors with Rana in lead, Teja sidelined Reddy from the project and even didn’t give him credit for story,’ say reports.

We have witnessed people, especially writers and director, involved in a project fighting for credit once their film succeeds. So far, no such thing happened in the case of Nene Raju Nene Mantri. The budding writer in news, Thmma Reddy, who is being cited as the original writer of the film, hasn’t yet come out seeking credit for his work.

So, is Teja stealing story credit just a rumor? Are the alleged jealous people in industry trying to malign the image of Teja as he scored a hit? Or has Teja really ditched the original writer and taken credit, just like most directors do these days? Teja should respond to put a full stop to these detrimental reports.

Mega Powerstar Ram Charan has been holding talks with versatile filmmaker Mani Ratnam from the past few years however the project has not been finalized. Despite of several attempts, the movie plans have been shelved several times.

With the massive debacle of Cheliya, once again the plans for Charan and Mani Ratnam teaming up turned merely impossible but the latest rumour brought hopes across the Mega fans.

There are talks that Bollywood hero Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sarah Ali Khan will be making her debut with Mani Ratnam’s movie which will feature Ram Charan in the lead role. The movie is said to be a romantic entertainer and will be shot in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil languages.

Mani Ratnam is busy wrapping up the pre-production work however an official announcement is awaited. The news of Sarah Ali Khan making her debut with Ram charan brought back the combo of Charan and Mani Ratnam back to track.

We have to wait and see if this is true. Charan is busy shooting for Rangasthalam 1985 in the direction of Sukumar which will release during December this year

Usually, when there is talk about a rumour involving a heroine, then it is concluded that it is regarding an affair.

People start wondering as to who her secret lover is or they try to figure out who the hero is. But heroine Anjali’s is a different story altogether. The latest rumour involving her is totally novel.

Well, the rumour is about her joining politics. Yes, this is the latest from Kollywood. But Tamil heroines joining politics is nothing new.

Earlier, heroines like Khusboo joined political parties. So, it is being said that Anjali will soon enter politics. And if Rajinikanth will float a political party, then chances are high that Anjali will join his party.

In fact, the rumour started with one of the statements she made during the promotion of her latest Tamil film Balloon.

During the show, Anjali mentioned that she liked politics and that she followed all developments closely. She also revealed that she recently visited the Parliament.

Since then, rumours have been rife in Tamil Nadu about her political entry. However, when contacted, Anjali said she had no plans of joining politics in near future.

Last Friday, we have seen three releases hitting cinemas including Nene Raju Nene Mantri, LIE and Jaya Janaki Nayaka. These three movies got a mixed talk at the box office, but due to the Krishnashtami and Independence Day holidays falling on Monday and Tuesday respectively, they are going to rake in huge moolah at the box office.

While the content of these films is intriguing and interesting, there is another aspect the films are being discussed for. That’s related to tourism as these three films promoted some interesting places through their movies. Have a look at them.

Firstly Nene Raju Nene Mantri promoted Andhra Pradesh tourism quite well as the scenes shot at some temples in Rayalaseema got huge attention. NRNM was filmed at Yagani, Mahanandi and Banaganapalli temples and now people want to go and visit those places for real. And then we have Jaya Janaki Nayaka also promoting AP tourism with a fight sequence. There is this place called Hamsala Devi where Krishna river meets the Bay of Bengal, and Boyapati has shot an action sequence on this island. People are getting kicked up to find out how to reach this place from Vijayawada.

Coming to LIE, locations like Trump Towers and other places in Chicago, USA are stunning everyone. At the same time, the desert areas in Mojave where the climax was shot and Ely town that became a backdrop for Miss Sunshine song, are also wondering even those NRIs who are staying in the USA as they never got to have visited them.

In that way, these three movies became tourism promotional videos right now other than the entertainment they have provided.

‘Hyderabad lo Samudram enduku ledu’.. ‘Hyderabad lo samudram set veddam sir’.. are some interesting funny and curious one-liners we have heard in many yesteryear movies. Way back in the 90s, this was always an interesting question. But it is becoming truth now.

An ongoing schedule of Rangasthalam 1985 is going on at a brisk pace with all the leading cast and crew of the film taking part in it. Already news is known that at a specially erected village set that has cost more than 5 crores in Hyderabad, Ram Charan and Samantha are shooting now. There is another speciality for this set.

The set is being made sure that it looks a coastal village where the Godavari meets the sea. And this fisherman’s village will play huge backbone in narrating the story. There is neither sea nor river in Hyderabad to create such atmosphere, but the seashore and water will be added with the support of visual effects, a little birdie says.

What sounded like a joke a decade ago, is no more a joke now. We can surely bring sea and seashore, and a good beach to Hyderabad with the support of visual effects. We have to wait for the visuals of Rangasthalam 1985 to find out how it actually looks.

Directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, this mega movie is going to hit cinemas for Sankranthi 2018.

Padmashri Kamal Haasan is one of the prominent actors of Indian cinema and he is known for his path breaking roles along with immense contribution in various crafts of cinema along with acting. The actor managed to lock 70 best films since 1937 among his films and other Indian classics.

Kamal revealed that he picked them as per the films he watched in his career and those which changed his career as an actor. The actor mentioned that he fell in love with some of the mentioned movies.

Devadasu, Mayabazaar, Sudigundalu, Manavoori Pandavulu, Maro Charitra, Sommokadidi Sokokadidi, Shankarabharanam, Amavasya Chandrudu, Sagara Sangamam, Swati Mutyam and Manam are the Telugu films that made their place in the list of Kamal’s most inspiring films. Surprisingly, Manam is the only Telugu film that impressed Kamal after 2000 apart from his movies.

As much as she is hailed by movie lovers as well as the industry people as the ‘Lady Superstar’ for having the ability to make films work at box office just with her sheer screen presence, she is equally infamous for not promoting her films. It is known that Nayan has been skipping her films’ promotions ever since she attained stardom, notwithstanding the requests from her producers.

It seems that Nayan has now made a very rare exception for her upcoming film ‘Aramm’. To the surprise of everyone, Nayan has the other day shot for a promotional program for ‘Aramm’, and the program will be aired on a leading Tamil TV channel on the special occasion of Vinayaka Chavithi festival.

Nayan hasn’t taken part in any of her previous films’ promotions in a long ling time. ‘Aramm’ must be a special and important film for her. The failure of her last few films could be another reason for Nayan putting in efforts to promote this new film of hers.

Nayanthara will be seen as a powerful District Collector in ‘Aramm’. The film’s promos have already created decent buzz in trade circles and among audiences. With Nayanthara’s special promotions, the film will surely receive the much needed hype. ‘Aramm’ is slated to hit screens next month.
