It is a huge surprise to see a star like Nagarjuna Akkineni responding to rumors ebing circulated on some websites.

Earlier, Nagarjuna took to Twitter to rebut the rumors of Sridevi’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor having been approached to essay Akhil’s love interest in his new film. Now, the King has taken to Twitter again to rule out the reports of splurging Rs 12 crore to set up his son Naga Chaitanya’s film with ‘Mass’ director Byapati combo.

Rumors were spread recently that Nag went on to the extent of offering Rs 12 crore to Boyapati for directing Chaitu. Boyapati has the knack of giving mass image to the heroes who star in his films. Since Chaitu is yet to win Mass audiences, Nag was rumored to be hell bent on roping in Boyapati even if he had to splurge a sum as whopping as Rs 12 crore. Nag however soon jumped into action and vehemently ridiculed these rumors.

After scoring a hit with a romantic entertainer, ‘Ra Randoi Veduka Chooddam’, Chaitu will be next seen in rugged avatar in a thriller titled, ‘Yuddham Sharanam’.

The first look motion poster of Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal’s new film “Odiyan” was unveiled on Monday, and it is sure to give goosebumps to movie lovers.

The motion poster shows Mohanlal in a much younger avatar. With a trendy hairdo and chiseled muscles, he looks a simpleton in a sleeveless shirt. His enigmatic smile, the haunting background score and his signature laughter at the end of the motion poster will leave audience on tenterhooks until the film’s release. Mohanlal’s unbelievable makeover looks to be the biggest USP of Odiyan. He looks at least 20 years younger.

In the film, he plays the character of Odiyan Manikkan, the last surviving member of an allegedly vicious tribal community in Kerala.  Set in the pre-electricity era and to be shot using 3D technology, Odiyan is said to be the most expensive film in the history of Malayalam cinema.

The movie will be directed by debutante VA Shrikumar Menon, who will also direct Mohanlal in Rs 1000 crore magnum opus, “The Mahabharata”. National Award winning scriptwriter Harikrishnan has written the script. ‘Baahubali’ fame Sabu Cyril is on board as production designer. Odiyan is expected to go on floors in the month of August.

In one sentence if we have to rate some seniors, some out-of-form celebrities and some other technicians, we have to say, “Frustration is making them talk shit”. Some of the interviews of these celebs that are doing rounds on YouTube give a perfect explanation of this statement.

Recently a choreographer named Rakesh, who has worked with yesteryear choreographer Mukku Raju and later became a name for himself, has given an interview to a YouTube channel. In that interview, he blasted Krishna Vamsi and then even made fun of his own disciples like Satya and Sekhar who are now big names among Tollywood choreographers.

Rakesh said, “Both Satya and Sekhar used to be my disciples. They used to wash my underwears and keep them ready at our Borabanda house. Sekhar even used to massage my legs, he does that great”. Will any guru talk about things like washing Underwear and Massages??

Currently, Sekhar is happening choreographer with even the likes of Megastar Chiranjeevi dancing to his moves. What makes a guru like Rakesh talk such shit about his sishyas, who are now stars? Definitely, it’s the frustration that these disciples are enjoying more fame and stardom than him.

In the 90s and 2000s, dance masters may never get noticed outside the film industry. But with the advent of many TV channels, social media and vast coverage of film stuff, these choreographers are sure enjoying cult status. Maybe people like Rakesh should understand the trend and keep silent, such that their seniority will have some respect.

Film industry is all about probability and consequences. And sometimes, a decision taken by some actor might favour him sometimes and backlash sometimes. But a decision is to be made and that’s what keeps anyone moving. People seldom think, “What If” an actor didn’t do this way, that way or some other way. Here are some interesting What Ifs.

What if Prabhas is not Baahubali?

Definitely any other hero with bulk framework would have turned apt for the role, with the fact that Rajamouli is in the director’s chair. But if it is a hero from Mega family or Nandamuri family, fans would have made that hero a No.1 of Tollywood by now with their immense writings on social media. And such biggest fan-bases are not in Prabhas kitty all these days, not anymore. #PrabhasIsBaahubali

What if Bunny avoided Cheppanu Brother?

Allu Arjun triggered a huge storm with #CheppanuBrother incident. He would have simply ignored and avoided saying that line to directly blast Pawan Kalyan fans. Despite getting negative talk for DJ, the film made amazing collections and the support from all other bitter Mega fans would have given more. This is just an assumption anyway. #CheppanuBrother

What if Jr.NTR is close to TDP?

No matter how many times Jr NTR or his brother Kalyan Ram claims about their ‘absolutely no issue’ with Baabai Balayya, everyone believes that there is some sort of friction. And with Jr NTR distancing from Telugudesam party (which is visible of course), Nandamuri fans got split into two for sure. In case if he’s close to all the cadres and has the support of Nandamuri fans collectively, hit range of his films would have been different. #NandamuriHero

What if Pawan Kalyan followed Chiru?

Needless to say, Pawan Kalyan got a new stardom because of his silence post the Praja Rajyam debacle rather following his brother blindly into the Congress party. In case if he has followed Chiranjeevi in that political journey, definitely this newfound ‘honest’ star status will not have adored him. And that would be reflected in the box office collections of his films as well. Isn’t it? #PawanJanaSena

What if Jagapathi Babu didn’t change?

Some senior heroes stick around to hero roles no matter what their present market status. Without making such mistake, Jagapathi Babu donned a salt and pepper look and turned to villainy. That gave him more film, new identity, crores of rupees remuneration and a permanent place in hall-of-fame. If he didn’t change, then surely he would have faded by now leaving no footmarks in Tollywood. #PatelSir

Just like ‘Baahubali’, ace director Rajamouli had carved a masterpiece called ‘Magadheera’, a decade ago, which wiped out almost all the existing records. Now, the Ram Charan starrer has added another feather to its highly decorated cap.

The Hindi dubbed version of Magadheera has become the first Hindi dubbed South Indian film to cross 100 million views on Youtube. The new milestone scaled by Magadheera can be attributed largely to Rajamouli and his latest visual wonder, Baahubali.

Post the worldwide success of Baahubali, North Indian movie lovers have started searching for Rajamouli’s previous movies, and hence the surge in Magadheera’s Youtube views. Besides Baahubali, recently released Hindi film, ‘Raabta’ has also helped Magadheera partly. Since Raabta has been widely publicized as the unauthorized remake of ‘Magadheera’, North people showed interest in watching the original film.

All in all, a Telugu film – Magadheera scaling this phenomenal record on Youtube is truly a proud moment for Telugu film lovers. Post Baahubali, film lovers across the nation are looking at Tollwood with awe and respect.

We have seen Indra Sena Reddy, Chennakesava Reddy, Aadi Kesava Reddy etc. entertaining us with powerful action. For a change, brace up for ‘Kaththi Reddy’, who is going to tickle the bunny bones of audience.

Comedy King Brahmanandam, whose stardom has diminished in the last few years because of the onslaught of new age comedians, is reportedly trying his luck with a comic caper titled ‘Kaththi Reddy’. The film has ‘Eththithe Dinchadu’ as the tag line.

Brahmi’s attempts in the recent times as lead hero, including the much hyped Vennela Kishore directorial, ‘Jaffa’ failed miserably to entertain audiences. Will ‘Kaththi Reddy’ be a different attempt? At a time when Brahmi’s comedy has been written off as monotonous, making a film with him in lead role is nevertheless a daring attempt.

The comedy film will also have ‘Jabardasth’ fame Raccha Ravi in a key role.
