Creative director Krishna Vamsi casually joked, “Generally actors don’t torture me, but I torture them back” and the whole of auditorium turns noisy with laughing. But is there something really ‘true’ that he’s revealing through this? Maybe.

One look at the songs of his latest movie “Nakshatram” makes one thing clear. Not all the songs are composed by one particular music director, but there are three names there. While Bheems composed three songs, Bharat Madhudsudhan composed two songs and Hari Gowra composed one song in the album. There is an interesting talk going about this.

Actually, it’s not just these three, but nearly a dozen composers have worked with Krishna Vamsi to create Nakshatram album. As he didn’t like their work after some time, he let them off and tried another one. Finally, he loved the work of these three composers and retained their songs, while Bheems was handled the background score work.

Those who didn’t get the chance to get featured here in the final album are heard saying, it’s a torture to work with KV as he won’t remember what’s the brief he has given about that particular song when they met last time. Continuous changing of ideas, themes and inputs has irritated them all and they left the project, a source adds.

Some directors change cinematographers this way and it’s rare that it gets applied to composers too. Hope Krishna Vamsi’s final ‘audio’ choice gets appreciated.

It looks like senior heroine Shriya Saran is maintaining that camaraderie with her juniors as well. During her heydays, she used to be good friends with the likes of Genelia and Trisha and that continues even now. But now a huge set of new heroines have arrived at the block, surely the senior knows how to gel along.

A couple of days before, the bonding between dusky siren Regina Cassandra and our senior beauty became the talked about thing. That 28-year-old actress and this 34 year ‘old’ siren are part of the movie “Nakshatram” though they don’t have any scenes together. While Regina is the heroine, Shriya did an item number.

However, before the audio launch, two two have posed at the hotel lobby in a quite playful mood. Especially when Regina planted a kiss on the cheek of her senior, that’s a sight worth seeing. Definitely, this egoless behaviour of Shriya is what makes her mingle with everyone easily and that’s what winning opportunities too, say some observers.

At the same time, even Regina is known for her friendship with various heroines, from Rakul to Rashi Khanna, Samantha to others. Who said, pretty girls, fight among themselves and can’t stay in the same place, in plain sight, for hours

Nani is bettering his previous records with each new release. His films have huge market in the US and it has been proved once again.

Given the craze of Nani starrers, Ninnu Kori was released in 145 screens in US. The film’s overseas distribution rights were reportedly acquired for 3.50 crore.The film has opened to decent collections in the Telugu states as well, according to early trade reports.

Mom, a highly anticipated feature film starring veteran diva Sridevi in lead role, hit screens today. The response for the film is underwhelming despite Sridevi’s believable performance.

The film belongs to rape-revenge drama genre. How a mother takes law in her own hands and avenges when her daughter’s rapists are acquitted for the lack of incriminating evidence is the film’s basic story line.

The film has a connecting emotional touch, sometimes over-melodramatic though, but logic goes missing often. How a vulnerable and an elderly woman plans and executes strong and influential men with such unbelievable ease..wonder the viewers of ‘Mom’.

With her powerful performance, Sridevi brought alive the vulnerabilities in her character.. Nawazudding Siddiqui’s creepy performance as a detective is another factor that makes one sit through this unconvincing drama. The rest of the cast has also done neat job. The cliched execution has let down Sridevi’s efforts in ‘Mom’.
