For people watching DJ Duvvada Jagannadham in theatres today, it’s a pleasant surprise as they suddenly caught off with “Fidaa” trailer during the interval. Such sudden stare at the trailer, however, gave a different set of experience than what Sekhar Kammula and Dil Raju would have expected.

It starts off as an NRI boy’s story who falls for a naughty and loud Telangana girl. Varun Tej is looking handsome as usual while it is newbie Sai Pallavi who has come out as a revelation. Though she’s against skin shows, director Sekhar Kammula has perfectly accentuated her ‘nadumu’ curve throughout the film, it looks like. Just this short trailer itself banked on her ‘nadumu’ show plenty of times and now imagine the whole film.

Cut to other part of the trailer, it looks like any other routine love story. Only striking part is that Sai Pallavi talks in pure Telangana dialect and her slang is intriguing. At the same time, Varun Tej as confused NRI is also impressive. But the story part is something we have to worry about.

The boy loves the girl and the girl rejects his proposal Will Sekhar Kammula bring out something new with this tried and tested line? We have to wait for Fidaa to be in theatres.

No matter what is the age, that is just a number for our senior star heroes. From Chiranjeevi to Balakrishna, Venkatesh to Nagarjuna, never they flaunted that salt and pepper look of theirs on the silver screen. But Venkatesh is said to be pulling out off the league.

Other day we heard the big news already that Venky agreed to play a 5-minute cameo in the upcoming film of Pawan Kalyan that will be directed by Trivikram. We are getting more info on the role that it happens to be a character that plays maternal uncle of Pawan. Though Pawan is 45 and Venkatesh is 56, both look like brothers. But inside this movie, Venky will be wearing a little senior kind of looks to sound perfect like a ‘menamama’.

One wonders if he will feature grey and white hair for the first time on silver screen for this character. It looks like Trivikram carved out a prominent character for Venky such that he will get more attention just in a 5-minute sequence. However, this is worrying Venky’s fans a tad bit.

In case if the character clicks big time, then Venkatesh might get similar offers from other heroes as well while main lead roles take a side track, fans say. For the kind of background Venky has, that may not happen anyway.

It’s just hours ago the trailer of Rana Daggubati’s “Nene Raju Nene Mantri” got released and immediately political circles are getting heated up with the debate on the story of the movie.

Actually, the film looks like a guy’s journey, in both positive and negative ways, to become Chief Minister of a state. Going by the looks, dialogues and content there, some political pundits are opining that the film’s story is loosely based on opposition leader YS Jagan. Some say that Jagan’s challenge to become a Chief Minister of AP after his father, late YSR’s death, is what could be looked through Rana’s character. Also, the name of the lead guy in the film is Jogendra and it sounds close to Jagan, say a few.

Whatever it may be, many times writers often carve out scenes that have real life inspiration. That doesn’t mean a particular politician’s life is fully being translated to the silver screen. For now, director Teja and hero Rana are maintaining that this is a pure work of fiction.

In another contest, Nene Raju Nene Mantri looks like a simple rehash of “Leader” movie where a leader dies suddenly and his son uses many tricks in the book to get back to power. What Rana, what’s cooking with this film?

Apparently, the arrival of DJ Duvvada Jagannadham has marked the newest entry of dusky siren Pooja Hegde yet again. While her initial Telugu films like Oka Laila Kosam and Mukunda yielded nothing, this time she’s banking on a different theory.

When Pooja Hegde rose from a swimming pool in DJ Duvvada Jagannadham, it is whistles all over theatres as Harish Shankar made sure that this will not be just a simple long shot. There are a lot of close shots, following her curves and teasing audiences. It’s so hot that during the close-up shots, total bikini and waistline of Pooja got blurred by the Censor Board. And rumours have that she charged 1 crore for this hottest treat.

Though DJ received a mixed talk on First Day, it’s Pooja’s glamour show that received unanimously positive feedback. However, a little bit of acting skills from this hottie would have helped her role click more with the audiences. Even during songs, Pooja looked like by-hearting her lines and saying it back without any expression or feeling.

Meanwhile, those who want to run after this hottie just for that glamour might have to rethink because her 5’10” height makes her taller than many heroes now. Even Bunny struggled to make adjustments in songs when Pooja is around!!

Out of the six films he has directed so far, Harish Shankar found both the best Song and best Fight of his career in his latest offering ‘DJ’. He added that ‘Seeti Maar’ song from DJ and the pre-climax fight in this Bunny starrer are the best song and fight in the six movies of his.

Harish Shankar is allegedly infamous for singing songs of the hero of his current film. In his bid to raise expectations on DJ, has he downplayed ‘Gabbar Singh’, the film starring his often-claimed demigod Pawan Kalyan?

Ever since the audio of DJ was unveiled, the response has been pretty mixed. The album is good but it didn’t meet the expectations raised by the Bunny-DSP combo. Harish can easily find better songs in ‘Gabbar Singh’ than in DJ. He somehow found the song in DJ the best.

When asked about his ‘Ramayya Vasthavayya’, Harish allegedly reacted as if he didn’t remember the film at all. How could he have forgot his own film when he has barely directed half a dozen films? Moreover, the film stars NTR in lead role. Harish reportedly said that he vaguely remembers the scenes in this NTR starrer.

Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film, ‘Tubelight’ hit screens today. Going by the response, even the actor’s unbeatable crowd-pulling capability may fall short in saving this alleged ‘artificial’ film from sinking at box office.

Despite the promotional blitzkrieg from Salman the team of ‘Tubelight’, the film somehow couldn’t attract audiences’ attention right from the promos. And, when the D Day came today, the film is teared apart by critics for its pretentious and artificial drama. The response on social also is very poor. Mainly, Salman’s ineffective acting has come under scanner as he chose a difficult character this time, of a man-child.

In the past few years, Salman has evolved as a reckoning force at box office, and his charisma has pulled even seemingly duds like ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’, ‘Dabangg 2’ and ‘Bodyguard’ to safe shores. The same cant’ be said about ‘Jai Ho’ though. From the early response and trade reports, it seems that Tubelight is going to be a bigger fiasco than Jai Ho.

There is no confirmation yet over whether NTR Jr will be essaying the role of Sr NTR in ‘Mahanati’, but the makers have reportedly pulled off a major casting master stroke.

As per the buzz in film circles, veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu has been roped in to play the character of legendary Telugu actor SV Ranga Rao. Versatile actor Prakash Raj was earlier under consideration to essay this role. Mohan Babu is definitely a better choice than Prakash Raj and his addition to the film also adds star power. Playing SVR on silver screen is a proud achievement for any actor.

Keerthy Suresh is essaying Savitri’s role. Young Malayalam hero Dulquer Salman has already commenced shooting for his part, he is playing Gemini Ganeshan. The biopic is being directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Ashwini Dutt’s daughter. Samantha and Vijay Devarakonda are also on board.

Manyata Dutt, star wife of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, has pushed her followers as well as netizens in a state of frenzy when she posted a picture of hers in swimsuit.

Manyata, Sanjay Dutt and their twins are currently having an exotic vacation in Europe. Among the many photos Manyata has shared, this particular picture has caught the attention of everyone since it is not everyday that a celeb-wife dares to post bikini and swimsuit pics.

In this pic with scenic background, Manyata is seen coming out of a pool wearing a blue color swimsuit. While some have targeted her for sharing this swimsuit pic on social media despite being the wife of a noted hero, others are applauding her for possessing such sexy curves at 37 and flaunting them without any inhibition.
