Irrespective of the reactions outside, Bigg Boss had a fantastic opening week. The TRPs gave full energy to the organisers. Appreciations are pouring in on the show host Young Tiger NTR. Akkineni Nagarjuna said that he has loved the energy of Tarak. He tweeted that “Congratulations to @tarak9999 for the fantastic opening week of Big Boss/love your energy!!”.

Responding to Nagarajuna tweet, Junior replied that “Thanks a lot babai. It was your pioneering effort that paved the way for all of us.” More than the thanks message, his addressing Nagarjuna as ‘babai’ grabbed the attention of netizens. Akkineni, Nandamuri fans are thrilled to see the cordial relationship between the heroes of two legendary film families.

It is known that Nagarjuna is the first star hero to enter small screen as a host. His ‘Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu’ show gave confidence to other stars to look at the small screen.

Dil Raju’s last production ‘DJ-Duvvada Jagannadham’ is a hit as per the filmmakers. But the industry insiders say that there were minor losses to the some of the local distributors.. and considerable loss to the overseas distributor. So it can’t be termed as a hit. This debate was there since the ‘DJ’ team has announced the collections.. and it is still going on. Let us keep it aside for a while and move on to Dil Raju’s latest film ‘Fidaa’.

Director Sekhar Kammula is known for his clean films, and he has made another film with Telangana touch this time. The way ‘Fidaa’ has shown the beauty of Telangana dialect is getting appreciation from all quarters. Apart from the critics, the common audience are also appreciating the film despite slow second half. The movie turned out to be a hit and bringing profits to the ace producer.

There is a talk in the industry that ‘Fidaa’ is covering the losses of ‘DJ’ for Dil Raju. More than Dil Raju, the overseas distributor will have a breather with the success of Fidaa.. in case, there are losses due to ‘DJ’ if any!

Who would have forgot the bikini sequence in ‘DJ – Duvvada Jagannadham’ so soon? Pooja Hegde won the hearts with the scene in which she steps out of a swimming pool. Censor Board had even blurred few of these shots and a similar procedure was followed for some of the previous movies.

However, Censor Officials have been so liberal when it comes to the bikini sequence in ‘Goutham Nanda’. Catherine Tresa posed in bikini from various angles. As if that’s not enough, Sampath Nandi had made the Actress bend at a particular point so that audience will get to see the best.

Much to everyone’s surprise, None of the Bikini shots in ‘Goutham Nanda’ were blurred. Nobody knows why Censor Officials have been partial to few films & acting tough when it comes to other projects. How far the bikini show of Catherine save ‘Goutham Nanda’ at the Box Office?

Tamil hero Dhanush is presently busy with the promotions of his latest film ‘VIP2’. Dhanush was asked an interesting question during a media interaction that why shouldn’t he transform his body as per the roles just like Baahubali star Prabhas?

Dhanush replied that “No. I look like a common man. I can’t do all types of roles because of my unique looks. I’ve to choose my roles carefully, which suits my personality.” He added that ‘In fact, it is my strength. If you go out walking on a road, you’ll see hundred people like me. They relate to me and I’m their representative in films.”

Dhanush clarified that he is not much interested in drastic physical transformations, so he would never transform his body like Prabhas any other actor. It seems Dhanush is not following anybody except his father-in-law Rajinikanth. We all know that Rajini won’t transform his body to suit characters.. characters will be transformed to suit his body. Dhanush is following the same thing. What say folks?

As we have reported earlier, the interrogation of actor Ravi Teja at Abkari Bhavan is under progress. The actor is reportedly being posed a lot of questions ranging from about drug abuse by his friends in Tollywood to his alleged connections with drug dealers.

On the sidelines of Ravi Teja’s interrogation, SIT officials are also questioning the star hero’s personal make-up man, PA and longtime associate Srinivas Raju. He was reportedly asked about how he managed to buy three houses in one year since his means of income don’t match the assets he owns. It is suspected that he is a binami of Ravi Teja and has also amassed wealth through unlawful means.

Officials believe that Raju holds the key and can reveal vital information about Ravi Teja’s alleged connections with drug dealers. He is at the moment being grilled by a special team for extracting information related to his and Ravi Teja’s role in drugs scandal.

On the other hand, Ravi Teja is said to be cooperating with the officials during the interrogation. He is said to be claiming in his defence that why would he do drugs when he put his younger brother Bharath at bay because of the latter’s drug abuse.

Bollywood actress Kyra Dutt is literally over the moon ever since she has got the opportunity to sizzle in an item song as well act in a few scenes in Balayya-Puri’s mass entertainer, ‘Paisa Vasool’.

The sexy bombshell has the other day taken to social media to share her joy of going on a dinner date with the senior Nandamuri hero. She praised Balayya as a ‘Gentleman’ and a ‘Man with a Golden Heart’. In the pic that she posted on social media, Balayya is seen jovially posing to the camera.

Meanwhile, the stumper of Paisa Vasool has raised expectations on the film.

Young tiger NTR Jr is receiving applause from every corner for amassing record Ratings for his debut Television show, ‘Bigg Boss’. One of those compliments came from Nagarjuna Akkineni, which prompted the young tiger to reply with a lovely gesture.

Congratulating NTR on the fantastic opening week of Bigg Boss Telugu reality show, Nag said that he loved the energetic hosting being done by the ‘Janatha Garage’ actor.

Overwhelmed by the appreciation, NTR thanked Nag and praised him for being the pioneer in the Television arena.

It is known that Nag was the very first star hero to turn a Host on Television with ‘Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu’. After the show succeeded, Megastar Chiranjeevi, Rana Daggubati, NTR etc. have also made their debuts on TV as Hosts.

The lovely thanking note of NTR grabbed the attention of fans as he addressed Nagarjuna as ‘Babai’. Nandamuri as well as Akkineni fans are rejoiced with the cordial tweet exchange between Nag and NTR.

“Thanks a lot babai. It was your pioneering effort that paved the way for all of us,” NTR tweeted in reply to Nag’s appreciation.

This might sound exaggerated but it is very much true in all aspects. Nandamuri Balakrishna generally sounds very strict and serious guy, but he’s known for his golden heart. More than that, his discipline and integrity are what bowling out many.

Other day, “Paisa Vasool” actress Kyra Dutt has not only showered praises on Balayya for his golden heart but she also took him to a dinner date as well. Before that, she shared with media that Balayya helped her with dialogues and confirmed that she met none in her career who is so much affectionate and dedicated.

Recently star heroine Katrina Kaif sBalayya, The Darling Of Hot Heroinesive a lot of respect for women. Also, they take bath and always look fresh unlike Bollywood heroes who come to sets even without brushing their teeth”. And then, we have Sonal Chauhan showering praises on Balayya for his discipline.

There maybe heroines from the north who cried that in South hero gets all the importance, but frankly, Balayya is the darling of many hot heroines for his good natured attitude. Do young heroes have something here to learn? Yes, they do!!

Telugu youth have become Fidaa over Malayali actress Sai Pallavi’s acting prowess and naturally striking looks in her debut film, ‘Fdaa’. She is currently being flooded with offers. Actresses generally try to break the image brought in by their debut films by accepting glamorous roles in their immediate next films. If you think that Sai Pallavi will also do the same, then you have mistaken.

The acne-faced beauty has made it clear that she doesn’t like to wear glamorous outfits. Forget glamorous, she doesn’t wear even ‘sleeveless’ outfits. Talking about the only scene in Fidaa where she was seen in a sleeveless outfit (which looked quite good on her), Pallavi said that she reluctantly wore that dress upon the insistence of director Sekhar Kammula. She said with a straight face that she would never wear such outfits again.

Sai Pallavi’s statement may come as a shocker to filmmakers who are planning to cast her in their films and also to her fans who are dreaming to see glamorous side.

In fact, Pallavi’s dream is to become a doctor and that she is doing films just because she is being offered good roles at the moment. She has no intention of playing a long innings in film industry so she is unlikely to change her principles for the sake of cinema.
