Here is the new look of Baahubali star Prabhas. After working on nearly five years on the magnum opus and did two parts, the hunk star has moved onto his next – “Sahoo”. However, the actor’s fresh look is now turning heads.

The already released teaser is stylish, slick boasting high-end VFX shots. The high-budgeted film being made in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil is expected to be shot with a budget of 150 Crore, director Sujeeth is going all out to rope in the best cast, crew for the film.

While Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is going to compose the music, Amitabh Bhattacharya is penning the lyrics. Reputed Peter Heins is going to provide the action choreography while Sabu Cyril, of Robot and Baahubali fame, is the production designer. Neil Nitin Mukesh will be seen as a baddie and the film is going to have two female leads. Talk is that Prabhas could repeat his Baahubali co-star Anushka in Sahoo as well.

For now, Prabhas look is giving a high to his fans.

Knowingly or unintentionally, macho actor Gopichand has used Pawan Kalyan’s references (Gautam Nanda and Aaradugula Bullet) as his films’ titles. Now, the actor has repeated a faux pas that was committed earlier by Pawan.

Speaking at the success meet of ‘Attharintiki Daredi’, Pawan Kalyan couldn’t remember the name of his film’s heroine Pranitha, and called her Pranathi after a brief effort of recollecting.

Last night, during the audio launch event of Gautam Nanda, Gopichand said that Tamanna and Hansika have done great job for his film. When everyone started laughing, he realized that he took the name of Tamanna instead of Catherine Tresa, who in fact was the second female lead of Gautam Nanda. Gopichand too had a hearty laugh after realizing the embarrassing situation he put himself into.

People wonder how come heroes forget the heroines’ names who have worked with them on a film for so many days.

Anushka Sharma is a bundle of beauty, and she always shines like a jewel whenever she appears on magazine covers.

The ‘PK’ actress looks lovely on Filmfare magazine cover. Sporting a designer wear and flaunting her toned bare back, Anushka looks a million bucks. She is blessed with naturally striking looks and the effort she has been putting in gym is reflecting in terms of those toned curves.

Anushka will be next seen opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, which is slated to hit screens on August 4.

When wild speculations about Nagarjuna Akkineni joining YSR Congress Party started doing rounds recently, Amala and a few other people close to Akkineni family had to condemn the rumors to put a full stop to them. A fresh rumor linking Nag and YS Jagan has surfaced now.

Gossip is that Nagarjuna is planning a film with political background, and that he is contemplating to name it, ‘Anna Vastunnadu’. For the unknown, ‘Anna Vastunnadu’ is a reference used by YSR Congress Party workers for their President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. This title was announced during the recent party plenary.

Reports are wildly circulating in YSRC Party circles that Nagarjuna has requested Jagan to let him use the ‘Anna Vastunnadu’ title for his next film and that Jagan has readily given his consent. As per the speculations, Jagan has asked Nagarjuna to campaign for his party in 2019 Assembly election.

Amidst several media reports indicated that actor Ravi Teja has allegedly received notices from Excise Department in the drug scandal, Ravi Teja’s mother Rajya Lakshmi has finally broken her silence. Responding on the most-controversial drugs case that is rocking the Telugu film industry, Rajya Lakshmi stated that Ravi Teja has no ‘bad habits’ and said that he doesn’t even smoke. She said that Ravi don’t even ‘encourage’ anyone who ‘smokes’.

Rajya Lakshmi didn’t stop. She alleged that Ravi Teja is being targeted and being framed ‘intentionally’ in the drugs case. She said that Ravi is ‘innocent’ and asked media, people to not to ‘tag’ him along with his another son Bharath.

Interestingly, Rajyalakshmi also defended her second son Bharath who was recently killed in a road accident on the ring road. Refuting reports that Bharath ‘was under the influence of alcohol’ when accident took place, Rajyalakshmi said that Bharath had given up all his ‘bad habits’ few days before the fatal accident.

Stating that the final rites of Bharath had happened as per their own tradition, she requested everyone not to intrude into their personal space. She added that Ravi attended his film’s shooting only to avoid ‘losses’ to the producer despite that he lost his brother.

This Dasara, it’s going to get interesting like a Sankranthi at Telugu box office. We have some big ticket films lined up and fans got all the emotions charged for them. Is there any last minute change in the lineup, that will be found later, but here is an early change that could happen.

On September 21st we have Jr NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa coming up while Mahesh Babu’s Spyder is all set for 27th release. Following these two films, Balayya’s 101st movie Paisa Vasool is set for September 29th to hit the marquee. With Jr NTR creating a storm with Jai character’s teaser, this KS Ravindra directorial got all the attention. Same is the case with Murugadoss crafted Spyder as the film’s sci-fi side is impressive. And the combination of Puri Jagan and Balayya itself is pretty amazing, as one is known for power-house dialogues and other one is a ‘baap’ of it. All three films are carrying pretty much big hype only.

But when films’ releases are knitted closely, then there will be a dent in revenues in the present times where ticket-hikes and lack of theatres are affecting collections big time. With buyers are also little worried about the placement of these films, we hear that Paisa Vasool is thinking to pull out of the race. And there are chances likely to advance the release date.

Baabai Balayya’s presence in a week post Jai Lava Kusa release will be a threat to Jr NTR as well. Latest update is that Paisa Vasool will be moved to September 1st as Puri Jagan is confident of wrapping total post-production work by that time. In that case, if Balayya unleashes strength early, two weeks of preponement is likely to help all other films too, but what about those others eyeing 1st September date like Sai Dharam’s Jawan?

Director Sukumar is known for his sweet talks all the time though they are laced with a bit of straight forwardness. However, his comment directed at an upcoming actress other day has lead to a discussion in Film circles as to why he said it in the first place.

During the launch of “Darsakudu” audio launch other day, Sukumar has directed a comment at an aspiring actress Poojitha who is well known in short film circles. He praised her for acting skills, but said, “See Poojitha, I’ve given another big chance to you. You’ve to remember that”. Many are thinking that Sukumar might have picked her for a small role in Rangasthalam 1985 as well and hence this comment. While the actress said “yes sir” in a humble manner, onlookers are reading this comment in other ways.

In a way, it indicates that Sukumar is expecting some reciprocation from the actress as he has given her a chance. But a big director of his stature need not ask that. At the same time, it also indicates that the actress has some ego issues and Sukumar tried to tame it publicly. Well, what is true?

Generally, Sukumar speaks and behaves positively with everyone and about everything, so let’s take this comment as a simple routine line rather calling it as some ‘sweet warning’ like gesture.
