It’s common knowledge by now that Raj Tarun is going to be essaying the role of a visually challenging person. But not what many are aware that he is not going to be seen so in the entire film but only for a limited time. In 2 hours 12 minutes of slick run time of Andhagadu, Raj Tarun is going to be seen as visually challenged for only 30 minutes. And this justifies the film’s title. However, in the remaining portion, he is completely normal.

It’s learnt that the film is totally hilarious and especially scenes showcasing Raj Tarun as visually challenged are expected to enthrall. Besides comedy, the love track between Raj and Hebah is said to be the film’s USP. This is not all. The film also boasts thrill and action elements in good dose. Apart from the lead cast, the film also features comedian Satya as Raj Tarun’s friend and the duo’s scenes said to have come out well. Censor has passed the film with U/A certificate and the film is all set for June 2nd release.

Noted musician Sekhar Chandra has composed the music for the film while Rajasekhar cranked the camera. The film marks the directorial debut of writer Veligonda Srinivas who provided story for films like Damarukam, Akhil.

The storm of Baahubali 2 has worn down a bit but the collections are still substantial enough to trounce the new releases.

In its fourth week, Baahubali 2 collected a record share of 9.4 crore, which is much higher than what the highly anticipated new release ‘Keshava’ raked in. The four weeks cumulative of Baahubali 2 in the Telugu states now stands at 188 crore.

Baahubali 2 four weeks share:

Nizam – 63,65,00,000

Ceded – 33,10,00,000

Nellore – 7,54,00,000

Guntur – 17,18,00,000

West – 11,85,00,000

East – 16,35,00,000

UA – 24,85,00,000

Total 4 weeks AP & TS share 187.95cr

Baahubali 2 Hindi has collected 490 crore so far and the historic 500 crore net is in the offing very soon.

It’s almost confirmed. Director VV Vinayak is all set to direct Sai Dharam Tej. Apparently, Vinayak has found a youthful subject that would fit Sai aptly for the role. It’s said that Sai has given his nod and is quite excited as this is going to be his first big-budgeted film with a top director. Presently in pre-production phase, Vinayak is fine tuning the script along with his associates.

Apparently, Lavanya Tripati is in consideration for the female lead in the film opposite Sai. After Allu Sirish and Varun Tej, Lavanya seems to be pairing up with Sai Dharam, one more hero from the mega compound.

On other hand, Sai’s plate is full. He is currently working for BVS Ravi’s Jawan and Satish Vegesna’s Srinivasa Kalyanam. But certainly teaming up with Vinayak is expected to take him to the next level. Since this is Vinayak’s first collaboration with gigantic success of Khaidi No. 150 which went onto gross over 100 Crore, Sai is upbeat. More details are yet to be known.

After 23 long years, a Hindi director is going to helm a Telugu film. The last was Nagarjuna’s Criminal directed by Mahesh Bhat in 1994. Thanks to the super success of Baahubali films, Bollywood is now looking up to South especially Tollywood. The latest we hear is that Hindi filmmaker Kunal Kohli is all set for his Telugu debut. This is going to be a female-centric film.

And Tamanna has been zeroed in on to play the protagonist. Kunal Kohli is popular for 2006 film Fanaa that has Aamir and Kajol in the lead. Hence, his Telugu debut is drawing good buzz even before it hit the floors. It’s learnt that the film is going to be shot in London extensively.

This is not all. Young hero Sundeep Kishan is also roped in for a significant role in the film. If all goes as per the plan, the film is going to begin its shoot in June.

If there is one star kid about whom the entire film industry and movie lovers are talking about, she is undoubtedly veteran diva Sridevi’s gorgeous daughter Jhanvi Kapoor. With a new update coming every passing day about Jhanvi’s affairs, bold pictures at parties and filmy debut, the sole concentration of media is on her although Sridevi has a younger daughter too, Khushi Kapoor.

Khushi is no less a diva and the fashionista has many a times become the cynosure of eyes with her exquisite style statement. The pretty lady was recently spotted along with her parents and it must be admitted that she surely is evolving into a hawt woman.

Khushi may not have the charm of Jhanvi but she surely has the style, audacity and diva like qualities to be an internet sensation and possibly a movie star.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the top actress of Tollywood and the soon-to-be better half of Naga Chaitanya Akkineni, is proving how caring a girlfriend she is.

The other day, Sam shared a video on social media where Chaitu is seen lifting 161kg weight, according to the writings of the hot lady in that post. She also wrote that she had to do a lot of forcing and a little begging as Chaitu wasn’t comfortable sharing his personal video on social media. Despite the Akkineni hero’s reluctance, Sam persuaded him and finally posted the video, which has attracted significant attention of movie lovers. It can be clearly understood that she did it not for her sake but Chaitu’s.

From the past few days, Sam has been doing as many headlines-making things as she could to promote Chaitu’s latest film ‘Ra Randoi Veduka Chooddam’. Starting from the social media conversations with Nag to saying ‘I Love You’ to Chaitu over telephone during a TV show, Sam has done everything in her capacity to promote her hubby’s film.

Chaitu is truly lucky to have a caring and astute girlfriend like Sam.

For a girl from a reputed film family to debut as a heroine, definitely, it’s a tough thing all the way. Not just family members, she needs to convince fans as well to become a starlet like Sonam Kapoor or Sonakshi Sinha, whose father are star heroes. But mega daughter Niharika Konidela tried to prove her mettle, challenging all the hurdles.

After making her debut with “Oka Manasu” which turned out to be a below average fare at the box office, Niharika hasn’t signed any Telugu film. Some insiders shared that she’s under tremendous pressure from Mega fans to not sign commercial movies with the so-called stars of Telugu cinema. Whether that’s true or not, she moved to Tamil industry and signed a film with Vijay Sethupathi.

Cut to Tollywood now, as per the story published in a leading English daily, it is heard that Niharika is now pairing with hero Nara Rohit for an upcoming love story. The news read that director Pawan Sadineni, whose last film Savitri and web-series PillA are a disaster, has finally managed to bring Niharika and Rohith on the same page for this film.

For now, there is no official confirmation from either Niharika or her hyperactive PR team. In case if she signed this movie as her second, we’ve to see how it’s going to fare her career in the industry that was being ruled by her uncle Chiranjeevi and other kin.

Also if Niharika and Nagababu’s “Salt And Pepper” releases in between, then that film is going to be her second Telugu movie, while Nara Rohit’s movie will be her third.
