Overseas market has expanded for Tollywood films in the recent past and collecting one million dollars has become a cakewalk for star hero films.  According to the latest buzz, ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ makers said to be quoting Rs. 14 crore for the Overseas rights which is a very big figure for NTR films.

Usually NTR films do not have much impact in the Overseas market until ‘Nannaku Prematho’ happened to him.  ‘Nannaku Prematho’ is the highest earner for NTR with 2.2 million dollars.   Surprisingly NTR failed to repeat his magic with the super hit ‘Janata Garage’.  Even though ‘Janata Garage’ became a money spinner Telugu states, it couldn’t cross 2 million dollar mark in Overseas.  Considering NTR’s track record,  Rs. 14 crore is a high price for Overseas.  The movie has to collect close to 3 million dollars to be profitable for the Overseas distributors.

On the other hand, ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ has no other USP other than NTR.  Director Bobby’s last film was a disaster and producer Kalyan Ram’s last film was also a failure.  So, the trade analysts are keenly watching whether the deal finalizes for Rs.14 crore or not.

Anasuya one of the most popular anchors on Telugu TV screen made lot of noise with her movies recently.

She appeared in three movies in quick succession but Anasuya is now not getting much offers.

Some time ago, we have seen top actress Deepika Padukone featuring in an advertisement with her parents to endorse a jewellery brand. Now, joining her side is Sana Ganguly, the 16-year-old daughter of former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Sana has recently featured along with her father for a photo shoot, which was part of a premium jewellery brand endorsement. Wearing a lovely pink sari with golden border, Sana looks to have evolved into a pretty young lady. The pictures shared by her mother, Dona Ganguly on social media with the caption, “My little Sana doing her first shoot with daddy”, have gone viral.

Despite it was the first time she was facing camera, she looked extremely comfortable in the company of her famous father. People have complimented Sana for her pretty looks.

Well-known VFX supervisor Kamal Kannan has been zeroed in on for Mahesh Babu’s Spyder. Kamal, who worked for films such as Magadheera and Eega, is now going to work for the special climax sequence in Spyder that is reworked. This is not all. A popular VFX Studio based in Russia is specially hired to execute the visual effects by Kamal.

The film directed by AR Murugudoss said to have extensive Special Effects. Apparently, the climax has been reworked after Baahubali : The Conclusion is released and high-end special effects have been included into the climax episode. Simultaneously made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi, the film is being made with a whopping budget of over Rs 100 Crore.

On other hand, Mahesh 24 – Bharath Ane Nenu – has hit the floors. Koratala is shooting the film without Mahesh as the Srimanthudu star is presently working on the climax in Chennai. Once Mahesh gets free from Spyder, he will be joining the shoot of Koratala film in June. Meanwhile, the next schedule of Bharath Ane Nenu will be in London in July. The total unit along with Mahesh is going to leave for London in July.

Apparently, Nagarjuna’s terrific role as a producer is being seen by everyone as he controls and chalks out literally every small thing related to “Rarandoi Veduka Chuddam”. And it looks like he’s also exerting pressure on his actors, as to how they should appear before media.

During the times of Dhruva and Nannaku Prematho recently, heroine Rakul Preet Singh stunned everyone with her gorgeous appearances in fashioned dresses. After Samantha, actually, Rakul is known for her fashionista looks and teasing the lensmen with their curvaceous looks. However, she’s now appearing in langa-voni looks all through the promotions of Rarandoi, flaunting that typical Andhra village belle looks.

Insiders revealed that Nagarjuna wants every lead actor of his films to promote the films in Bollywood style i.e., they should appear in promotions in the way they appear inside the movie. For that reason, Rakul is wearing that Bramarambha look from the film all the time to promote this flick.

Directed by Kalyan Krishna of Soggade Chinni Nayana fame, Rarandoi Veduka Chooddam film hits cinemas tomorrow. Featuring Naga Chaitanya in the lead, Nagarjuna is promising the film as a sure shot blockbuster.

Buxom beauty Namitha, who is known for her voluptuous figure, seems to be on a mission of losing weight.

The ‘Billa’ beauty has been hitting gym regularly for past couple of months and she looks to have shed significant kilos. Namitha has recently shared this selfie from gym and the results of her hard work are clearly visible. Fans are going gag over her slimmed  looks. She still looks a bit heavy though.

On work front, Namitha was last seen on Tollywood screen in Mohanlal’s ‘Manyam Puli’. She is currently filming for an upcoming Tamil film ‘Pottu’.

Revealing that he was a 31-year-old virgin by the time he directed blockbuster Malayalam film ‘Premam’, Alphonse Puthren said that only those who stay virgins till 31 or more can remake ‘Premam’ better than him.

The tongue in cheek humor of Puthren may not have anything to do with the Telugu remake of Premam as he specifically targeted the Bollywood production houses who boasted of improvising the original while remaking it in Hindi.

The Premam director taunted the leading Bollywood production houses who approached him for the Hindi remake rights of his film and assured him that they have great directors who can remake the film better than him.

‘From the Hindi film industry, 5 top company’s approached me to get the remake rights of Premam. In these companies ‘2’ of them wanted my film and they said they have brilliant directors who can make the film better than me,” wrote Puthren on his Facebook page.

Alphonse stated that he was a virgin till marriage and only an imperfect kid like him can make ‘Premam’ better than him.

“The specialty and uniqueness of the film ‘Premam’ is that I was a Virgin till my marriage. If anyone who is a virgin for more than 31 years or more …I believe they can do Premam much more better than me. In short….I believe…only a small kid like me can do Premam …not masters or great drivers.

You can make Premam perfectly and make it look richer than the original. The beauty of Premam is that…the film is not perfect ….like me. So who ever buys or translates my feature film on screen please keep in mind to avoid perfect shots,’ wrote Putheran in a satiric manner.

Here is the title logo of Rajinikanth’s up next film Kaala. To be directed by Kabali director PA Ranjith, the film is going to be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.

None other than Rajini’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush is producing this crazy film. Apparently, Rajinikanth is going to be seen as an underworld don, hailing from Chennai, but ruling Mumbai for longtime.

The plot seems to have similarities with Kabali where Rajini is a don in Malaysia. While Kabali was successful in Tamil, the film bombed at the Box Office in Telugu incurring hefty loss to the Telugu producer.

Meanwhile, Rajini is waiting for the release of Shankar’s 2.0, a sequel to Robot. This will see Bollywood star Akshay Kumar as baddie.
