Actress Malaika Arora Khan, who is best remembered as the ‘Kevvu Keka’ girl from Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’ looks dashingly fit and hot in her latest photo shoot.

Sporting casual wear, cropped tees and jeans short, Malaika audaciously exposed her long and toned legs. The sexy postures she struck will leave her fans wanting for more. The astonishing thing about her is she is touching her mid-40s yet she looks oh-so-hot.

Despite her deteriorated relationship with Arbaaz Khan, she is still close to the family of Salman Khan. Just a few days, the hottie took part in the birthday celebrations of Salman’s nephew in Maldives.

Killing goons have become the central part of Telugu films from a time and big star heroes often end up taking the law into the hands and kill goons to enthral their fans.

In the recent times, all smashing hits like Khaidi No 150 and Srimanthudu have this touch of their leading men taking the law into hands and killing the villains. Only for Baahubali and Gautamiputra Satakarni, we could give an excuse because as they are set in the age of kings, such killings are legal then. But how come in the modern day too we have heroes taking weapons into hands and smashing heads to spill blood is the question our writers and directors should think about.

Today’s first look motion poster of Jr NTR’s latest movie “Jai Lava Kusa” also proved that this film is going to be another blood marathon. The good takes down the bad in the name of Lord Rama and that’s what the theme of the film is if the motion poster is anything to go by.

Rather taking up subjects like extracting revenge on someone who had hurt their family and fighting in the civil society like a ruthless hit machine, our star should take up some sensible topics as their film stories. What say, folks?

Writer and director Koratala Siva is known for his three big hits these days including Mirchi, Srimanthudu and Janata Garage. All the stories and dialogues for these films are written by himself while his next film has a big surprise in fact.

Already it’s known that Mahesh Babu’s “Bharat, Anu Nenu” being directed by Koratala Siva, has a story provided by a new writer. As the story of Srimanthudu even went into some controversies with a writer knocking court doors accusing Mahesh and Koratala of plagiarism, our talented director is not taking any chances.

An exclusive source revealed that director Srihari Nanu who has made films like Thakita Thakita and Satyabhama charged a hefty price to provide this story for Mahesh Babu’s film. Koratala Siva is said to have paid nearly 1 crore to bag the story from Srihari as the story happens to be quite exciting one with terrific twists and screenplay.

There is no wrong in directing someone else’s story, but what is surprising here is, a writer-director like Srihari Nanu who didn’t make any hit film earlier is charging a crore to give the story. Is it because he’s giving the story to Koratala and Mahesh? Or the story is really worth a crore?

Venky’s Guru might have got a decent run in the multiplexes in the domestic market. However, in a strange and contrary situation, the film has turned out to be a major debacle in the US Box Office. Despite positive reviews, the film failed to fare well in the US. This has come as a shocker to even filmmakers as the film is mainly aimed at A centre and US audiences. While it’s doing well in multiplexes locally, trade reports say that the film is a complete washout in the United States.

The film has got a mere Rs 0.27 Crore share in the first weekend and it has to go a long way to reach break-even. It’s estimated that the US distributors would lose nothing less than a half crore at the US Box Office. The publicity and advertising spends are additional.

The film, a sports drama, failed to impress the overseas crowds. While the film’s okay in bits and parts, it couldn’t appeal on the whole.

An ugly fight has reportedly taken place between actors Farhan Akhtar and Aditya Roy Kapoor over beautiful actress Shraddha Kapoor. While the former is allegedly having a relationship with Shraddha, the latter is her ex.

After Shraddha and Aditya paired up in “Aashiqui 2”, they reportedly dated each other for a brief period. After their alleged break up, Shraddha grew close to Farhan Akhtar after he separated from his wife.

Last year, disturbances arose in the lives of the trio when Shraddha once again paired up with her ex, Aditya Roy Kapoor for “OK Jaanu”. The already frustrated Farhan Akhtar, reportedly couldn’t take it when he spotted Shraddha bonding well with Aditya at a recent party. According to reports, a fuming Akhtar indulged in a verbal spat with Aditya and that he warned him to stay away from her.

Sometimes in naturally happens and for Baahubali series, everything is happening by sheer luck when it comes to promotions. Like veteran director Dasari Narayana Rao once said, for Baahubali, media is promoting it aggressively for free though they didn’t help any other film this way.

Cut to the point, the way Baahubali: The Conclusion is getting promoted these days at all venues is simply superb. And if the makers have to spend money to rope in a huge gang of celebrities to promote the film definitely they have to spend another Baahubalian budget. Other day at IIFA awards event, Baahubali team erected their VR stall and all the celebs who have come there have posed with the sword and shield from the film. Guess what? That led to terrific publicity.

If we could see the social media pages of various top actresses like Shriya, Rakul Preet, Parul Yadav and Sanjana, their fans are busy sharing pictures of their favourite ladies with swords and shields in hand. This, in turn, is giving free publicity to Baahubali at no extra cost.

Definitely, the promotions of Baahubali will be a blue-book for branding and promotions agencies to follow in the years to come. Everyone has to learn their bit when it comes to projecting a film big and getting it huge hype before the release itself.

Set against a mafia backdrop, Balakrishna and Puri Jagannadh’s ongoing film – Balayya 101 – is going to be a mass film with guns and Puri’s trademark dialogues. In addition to it, the film too will have proper glam treat as it will accommodate three heroines. While one of the three heroines is Muskan from Mumbai, latest buzz is that Puri is on the verge of finalising the other two ladies too.

It’s learnt that Shriya Saran is in the front runner for one of the roles. Given that her last film with Balayya (Gautamiputra Satakarni) saw the duo in good bond, and Shriya is one lady who could strike a fine balance between beauty and performance, it’s said that Puri is likely to rope in Shriya for one of the female leads. Meanwhile, the search for the other role continues.

Puri is likely to fix it in a couple of days. Meanwhile, a huge colony set with an alleged cost of Rs 1.5 Crore is erected near Aluminium factory and the shoot will begin from April 6. Puri is yet to fix a title for the film that’s being produced by Bhavya’s Anand Prasad.
