When it comes to setting temperatures high, this Brazilian-born Indian actress certainly falls in ‘front-runners’ category.

The hot and svelte beauty Bruna Abdullah, who worked on Bollywood films like Desi Boyz, Grand Masti, Mastizaade & others, has published a very racy Instagram snap wherein she’s posed topless with her hand across the chest.

And undoubtedly, her fans & followers would have thrilled with that photograph which she captioned Alanis Morissete’s popular 90’s song, ‘I’m a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a mother, I’m a sinner, I’m a saint’ and more.

This 30-year old beauty shares her bikini-on-the-beach pictures quite often to enthrall her fans.

Ace director SS Rajamouli who cast beautiful actress Anushka in Vikramarkudu and Baahubali, has commented that he doesn’t expect much from her on acting front.

During a recent media interaction, Rajamouli revealed that Anushka compensates her average acting skills with tremendous hard work and dedication. He lauded the actress for her sheer commitment and professionalism.

‘I didn’t had many expectations from Anushka but she did excel in Baahubali. Even in combination scenes with a powerful performer like Ramya Krishna, Anushka did her part with great confidence and she changed my perception about her acting skills. No actress is as perfectly built as Anushka but more than her natural beauty, her biggest assets are her dedication and simpleness,’ said Rajamouli.

Anushka had very little screen presence in part one but her character is expected to be much lengthier in part two of Baahubali.

Pawan Kalyan is going to visit director K Viswanath on Wednesday at his home. Pawan will be congratulating the legendary filmmaker who is conferred with Dadasaheb Phalke Award for the year 2016 by the Union Government of India.

Pawan is going two days after his elder brother Chiranjeevi visited KV and personally felicitated him.

Umpteen speculations have been in circulation on Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Nakshtram’. As there was reportedly no development on the project for past few months, rumors spread like wildfire.

On Tuesday, a seemingly angry Krishna Vamsi took to his facebook page to quash the rumors. He also rebuked the media houses that spread rumors on his film, Nakshatram. In the same post, Vamsi informed that his film will release in May second or third week. He also added that a popular actress will be roped in to do a special song in the film.

Nakshatram already boasts of a huge star cast – Sundeep Kishan, Regina, Sai Dharam Tej, Pragya Jaiswal, Prakash Raj and others. There was good hype on the film a few months ago but the delay has significantly killed the buzz for this multistarrer.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan surprised all the film world by attending a film award distribution function and received an award for his outstanding performance in the recenlty released Dangal film.

Aamir attended the award function almost after 16 years. He last attended the academy awards function when Lagaan was nominated in the Best Film category.

On the request of famous singer Lata Mangeshkar, Aamir attended award function for Master Dinananth Mangeshkar Awards. The function was held to commemorate Lata father’s 75th death anniversary and it was also when the legendary singer started singing in films.

The bollywood star was honoured with Vishesh Puraskar for his outstanding work in Dangal at the prestigious ceremony. Interestingly, Aamir received the award from RSS Chief Mohan Nagar in Mumbai.

Other day, trailer launch event of former heroine Jyothika’s second film post re-entry has become a stage for some sensational talk. As the trailer of “Maagalir Mattum” (means Ladies Only) is released, Jyothika made certain demands to be met by new-age directors.

Stating that heroines should be given more dignified roles in films, Jyothika requested all the happening directors to write sensible roles for them. “Don’t limit heroines just to glamour, write them some important roles. Don’t make them tell double-meaning dialogues along with comedians. Also, there is no need for 3-4 heroines for a hero, if you do that, then his fans will go on thinking that romancing a couple of girls in real life is a good thing”, she stressed.

Well, what sort of roles are heroines like Samantha and Shruti Haasan are given in Surya’s recent films other than flaunting their skin in songs and romancing the lead actor? And in recent Singham 3, we’ve Anushka, Shruti Haasan romancing Surya and Neetu Chandra doing an item number.  Should Jyothika first give such advice to her husband rather throwing it on directors?

The idea of changing a commercial film format and lessening the way heroines are flaunted as glamour objects is a good thing overall, but that should come from all directions. Not just directors!!

With just two days to go for the release of the ‘biggest Indian film ever’, Baahubali 2, the euphoria surrounding the movie and the two main persons responsible for the happening of this epic – Prabhas and Rajamouli is ever increasing.

The duo can’t stop praising and thanking each other for helping each other make an epic like Baahubali. Rajamouli, who on numerous occasions said that he might not have made Baahubali had Prabhas not agreed to be part of it, has now given a befitting gift to his lead hero.

Rajamouli gifted the iconic armor wore by King Amarendra Baahubali to Prabhas as a thanking gesture, needless to say that Prabhas was emotional receiving it. It was a 5-year-long journey and as Rajamouli repeatedly stressed, no actor would have dedicated so much time and gone though such strenuous physical transformation for one project.

In this latest digital world of booking tickets online and not even needing a physical ticket, everyone is feeling happy for saving the time of standing in ticket queues. But at the same time, the risk of getting cheated got increased.

Other day people flocked a website named www.newtickets.in that has been busy selling tickets of Baahubali: The Conclusion which is due for release this Friday, April 28th. To cash on the craze going on, this website created a huge database of theatres, occupancy screens and sold thousands of tickets. Those who brought the tickets are happy that they are going to watch the film on the first day itself.

But those theatres that are being seen houseful on other ticket booking sites are seen fully empty inside this website. Sensing some foul play few people approached Cyber Crime sleuths and much to their doubts, their fear has come true. This is the biggest ticket scam as the website looted Baahubali lovers.

Without really getting associated with any theatre, single screen or multiple, this website has been selling fake tickets all the time, and all those who brought the tickets have got conned. Literally, some lakhs of rupees is what they have made from the scam. Police are currently trying to find out the culprits while the website is down already.

It is known that ‘Baahubali 2’ will also be releasing in the IMAX format in feasible theatres across the world. Well, that was the original plan but it looks like makers only half succeeded in materializing it.

As per latest reports, Baahubali 2 IMAX version will be released in only the Telugu and Hindi versions. Tamil and Malayalam versions of Baahubali 2 will not release in the IMAX format. Some technical issues are said to be the reasons for this mishap. Fans need not disappoint as the film is being planned for a massive release in as many as 8000 screens, the biggest ever release for any Indian film.

Baahubali 2 is also the first Telugu film to re;ease in IMAX format. With the AP and TS govts. permitting the exhibitors to screen 6 and 5 shows respectively per day, the revenues of Baahubali 2 are expected to be earth shattering.

Macho actor Rana Daggubati, who mightily impressed viewers with his ferocious performance as Bhallaladeva in ‘Baahubali’, is reportedly gearing up to play a Muslim warlord in a Russian film.

During his recent media interaction, Rana reportedly revealed that he was offered a Russian historical drama. Given his physique and popularity all over India, Rana was offered the role of a ruthless Muslim warlord.

After the success of Ghazi, he is set to act in a couple of more interesting projects besides having been in discussions for a few potential international films.
