The name “Sivagami” turned quite popular across India as people loved that character in Baahubali movie to the core. Though she’s not a warrior and not the one who played the main lead, Rajamouli etched it so well that people can’t imagine missing out that character.

Inspired by the same role, Rajamouli’s father Vijayendra Prasad etched similar one again, this time for television. With Karthika Nair featuring as Devasena, television series “Aarambh” will now reprise another Baahubali like act on the small screen. This television serial has former heroine Madhubala also playing an important role and this role is the TV version of her good friend Ramya Krishna.

As you could notice in the picture, Madhubala is playing a warrior like a role in the TV series which is a bit above Sivagami. Here she looks pretty hot in that ensemble and ferocious in her looks. But we have to see on the show if she’s playing a role with negative shades or something that has a positive outlook.

Quite upbeat about the role she’s playing, Madhoo says, “While it’s written by nature for Ramya Krishna to play Sivagami on the silver screen, I’m lucky enough to bag similar role TV. This will unleash a new me for sure”.

Film industry slipped into huge shock with director Puri Jagan’s name surfacing in the Drug Scandal and many celebs who hang around his office are also named in it, as per media reports. While Excise Department denied giving any names out to media, some celebs denied that they got reports while everyone collectively condemned that they are not into drugs.

While many chose to stay silent about the drugs thing even when their friend’s names surfaced, director Puri Jagan’s daughter responded in style on social media. Asking not to blame her father, Pavitra Puri says, “Just because my dad is a celebrity it doesn’t mean you can spread or believe in stupid rumours. He is a family person and before showing your finger at him, just think of his family and his reputation in the industry”.

Pavitra stated that she’s blaming those jobless people who are writing badly about her father. Speaking more about Puri Jagan, she added, “He is a person who keeps running behind his goals. Being a director his brain is his investment and future, so he will never spoil his career with these habits. Concluding with a big shout, she says, “MY DAD IS NOT INVOLVED IN DRUGS” and asked those who are trolling her to mind their words.

Earlier with reports coming out that Puri Jagan asked Excise officials to catch the really big fish rather running after him, the director tweeted, “I have not given any statement regarding anything n anyone till now.. very busy completing my film #PaisaVasool”.

For the past few days, a tense atmosphere has engulfed Tollywood as people are scared whose name may crop up next related to drugs. The situation is so sensitive that even a minor rumor can cause heavy damage to celebs’ image.

The people whose names have surfaced so far, have denied any involvement, and speculations are making rounds that sons of a senior producer are also involved, and that he is shielding them.

Noted producer and a big name in industry, Suresh Babu Daggubati has in an interview, condemned the rumors of his sons – Rana and Abhiram having any connection to the drug mafia. He alleged that some people are intentionally dragging his sons’ names in this issue.

He requested media and people not to believe rumors about his sons and clarified that no member of his family has received notices from authorities.

Nani’s Ninnu Kori is already a super hit as its buyers are into profits and likely to make more in the coming days.

Shamanthakamani that caught the attention of cinephiles with its star cast has opened on a strong note. The film has been carrying decent word of mouth which should help it to post decent numbers over the weekend.

Jagapathi Babu’s Patel Sir also opened on a good note, thanks to its brilliantly edited trailer and the makeover of its lead actor.

However, the film turned out to be a disappointing fare as the debut director couldn’t get his script right.

Bollywood film Jagga Jasoos opening is pretty weak that Ranbir is already staring at yet another debacle.

Tollywood’s prestigious AK Entertainments banner Production no 11 is announced with hero Nikhil.

What’s so special about the project is Nikhil’s friendly favourite directors Chandoo Mondeti and Sudheer Varma are roped to provide dialogues and screenplay respectively while debutante Sharan Koppisetti is the director.

The youthful college backdrop film is also looking for some new faces to share the screen space and a casting call is also declared by the Production house.

According to sources, Sudheer Varma’s screenplay has come out so well and Chandoo’s dialogues will do a lot of good for this untitled project. Young Ajanish Loknath is scoring the music.
