The strategy to release singles is turning out to be disastrous for Katamarayudu as the buzz around the film is going down with each song. They should have released the album as a whole than following the trend that was set by Khaidi No. 150.

It is okay to release singles when the album has two to three chartbuster songs in it. None of the four songs that were released had that chartbuster appeal.

Barring catchy theme music in Mira Mira Meesam, Anup Rubens has failed big time with the soundtrack.

Anup who usually scores mellifluous melodies failed to impress even in that department. Fans have lost hopes on the remaining songs that they are simply waiting for the theatrical trailer. They wish trailer would be good enough to build hype around the movie.

Katamarayudu is just a week away from hitting the marquee and there is not much buzz around it in spite of being the first biggie to hit the screens this summer.

The British beauty Amy Jackson must be enjoying and extremely happy about her latest assignments in India. Now that she’s finished working with popular Superstar of India Rajinikanth for Robot 2, it definitely a no surprise that the actress managed to share screen space with B-town Superstar Salman Khan too.

Yes- the sensuous glam doll had shot for a dazzling advertisement alongside Salman Khan, for the actor’s ‘Being Human’ campaign. The 25-year old gorgeous took to Instagram and shared a lovely picture from her ad shoot with Dabangg star and she captioned it, ‘Over the moon to be a part of the new #BeingHuman Campaign with @beingsalmankhan’

Previously, Amy Jackson worked in a sports rom-com ‘Freaky Ali’, which was directed & produced by Salman’s brother Sohail Khan. Currently, she is awaiting the release of Robot 2.0 and rumored to be part of Salman’s KICK-2.

The suspense over the title of Mahesh Babu – Murugadoss movie is continuing and the fans of Mahesh Babu are in distress.

They have been putting pressure on the producers to announce the title fast and release the first teaser before March 31st.

The free web surfing on Reliance Jio sim cards comes to an end on March 31st. From April 1st, the customers will be charged for data usage.

Ever since Jio offer came, there has been surge in views of Telugu movie trailers and songs. Films like “Khaidi No 150”, “Gauthamiputra Satakarni”, “Duvvada Jagannadham” and “Katamarayudu” have hugely benefited from this. And now “Baahubali 2” set new record in youtube views in a single day.

Industry observers say the spike in recent youtube views has direct link to the number of sim cards were given in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states.

Although the trailer and songs should be interesting to get more number of views but the free surfing has made everyone to check the trailers at least for once.

This has been worrying Mahesh Babu’s fans. Their argument is that if the first teaser doesn’t come before March 31st, they will be losing record views. So, they are criticising producers.

Ace filmmaker Rajamouli SS has confirmed that the first part of ‘Baahubali’ will be released a week ahead of the release of part 2 so that people can get back into the world of Mahishmathi.

Speaking at the trailer launch event of ‘Baahubali 2’ in Mumbai on Thursday, Rajamouli said, “I believe very few people missed the first part of Baahubali in theatres. We however have decided to re-release it ahead of part 2 release in order to pull audiences back into the narrative. It will be a pan-India release.”

This is absolutely a great news for the fans of Baahubali franchise. As the part one released almost two years ago, most people might vaguely remember the actual plot so the re-release is expected to jog their memory besides providing yet another great opportunity to watch the epic film on big screens just before the second part hit screens on April 28, 2017.

Said to be a spy thriller, Thala Ajith’s upcoming film ‘Vivegam’ is expected to have some mind blowing action sequences. Staying true to the expectations, Ajith looks to be gearing up to spellbound movie lovers with some explosive action sequences.

Ever since the release of the first look of ‘Vivegam’, Ajith’s chiselled makeover became a talking pint in Tamil cinema circles. Now, film’s director Siva has shared another picture from the sets where Ajith is seen with torn clothes and blood stains all over his body. It looks like the working still during the filming of an action sequence.

The pic is currently going viral on social media thanks to the ever-active Thala fans.

Audiences might be expecting a visual wonder like highly publicized ‘Garuda’ or ‘Mahabharata’ from  Rajamouli after Baahubali series. Well, keep your expectations very low as the ace director looks in no mood to take up another magnum opus immediately.

During the Baahubali 2 trailer launch event, when asked about his next project, Rajamouli said that first of all he would go for a 2-3 months vacation to come out of the Baahubali world in which he spent more than 5 years.

‘I have plans to make a simple film in which i don’t have to use any VFX,’ said Rajamouli.

It may be recalled that immediately after hogging national limelight with Magadheera, Rajamouli surprised all by making a comedy film i.e. ‘Maryada Ramanna’. That was seen as a smart ploy to negate the humongous expectations on his immediate project after Magadheera.

‘Baahubali’ is a much bigger project compared to Magadheera and it made Rajamouli one of the most famed directors in India. His every future project would be eagerly awaited by movie lovers across India. Hence, he might have decided to go with a small and safe project instead.

Well, it must be admitted that Rajamoui has reached a stage where audiences will throng to theatres just seeing the famous ‘Rajamouli Stamp’ on a movie poster irrespective of the genre, hero and scale.

The explosive trailer of ‘Baahubali 2’ looks to have given yet another opportunity to the attention-craving Ram Gopal Varma who went rampaging against the Tollywood stars.

Calling Baahubali 2 the ‘Grandmother of Indian Movies’, Varma went on to elevate Prabhas with a volley of tweets. It seemed that Varma’s twitter elevation of Prabhas was way higher than Rajamouli’s elevation of the actor through some intense action sequences in Baahubali.

‘After Baahubali, no Powerfulest MegaSuperstar of Tollywood could match even with the toenail of Prabhas even in two lifetimes,’ tweeted Varma, taking a dig at all the star heroes of Telugu cinema.

Varma said that many in tollywood might commit suicide after learning that Baahubali 2 trailer amassed 50M views in just 24 hours.

More than hurting, Varma’s comments are making fans of all heroes get very angry. Making such degrading remarks against heroes having larger than life image just to hit headlines is very cheap, opine fans. He seems to have not mended his ways even after Naga Babu’s outburst at and comments of mega family heroes on different occasions.

Of course Prabhas has hogged national limelight with Baahubali but that doesn’t mean Varma could ridicule other stars who have scaled much higher peaks than Prabhas before a phenomenon called ‘Baahubali’ happened.

One must recall that the same RGV praised NTR during ‘Temper’ time and Mahesh on other occasions. His intention is not acknowledging Prabhas’s achievements but humiliating other heroes using the name of Prabhas.

‘The day is not far away when RGV gets a heavy thrashing from Tollywood fans,’ said an angry movie lover on social media.

Ever since the teaser is out, there’s no looking back for Pawan Kalyan’s Katamarayudu. With each passing day, the film’s craze is mounting and the response to its songs are the latest proof. In a move that would make fans happier, the makers of Katamarayudu have decided to offer merchandise of the film for fans and have associated with Echora that act as the merchandise brand for the film.

T-shirts imprinted with Pawan Kalayan’s stills from Katamarayudu along with Katamarayudu towels have been put on the website – katamarayudustore.com. Besides this, there’s a special T-shirt commemorating Pawan Kalyan’s two decades of acting journey. The T-shirt features the images of Pawan from all his films with caption “# Travelling Soldiers Unparalleled” , “# PK20”. The response to the merchandise that has been launched two days ago is said to be great so far.

Seeing the response, the makers have announced to press about the same and hoped to reach out to more fans in order to make them relate to Katamarayudu. But in an unexpected shocker, the website that’s displaying the Katamarayudu merchandise has been crashed with in no time the news spread like wildfire. The website apparently witnessed heavy traffic from Pawan’s fans who rushed to buy the merchandise. Looks like, the makers have failed to estimate Pawan’s mania.

Meanwhile, the makers of Katamarayudu are busy making grand preparations for the film’s pre-release event. The event will have a special feature on 20 years acting journey of Pawan Kalyan and it’s said to be the highlight.

Maa TV and Star Network should have expected Chiranjeevi’s entry as the host for Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu to turn tables for them.

Not just them, many predicted Megastar to take Television industry by storm with the new season of MEK.

Shockingly, Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu hosted by Chiranjeevi has been getting lower TRP’s right from day 1. It was then considered as a starting trouble, but the TRP’s are falling further down by the day.

Even celebrity episodes are not grabbing eyeballs. The episode where Suhasini and Radhika attended MEK as guests only got 3 Rating that is shockingly dismal.

Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu used to be exciting and relatively fresh during its first season, but lost its sheen in the next seasons as people moved on to entertaining shows than watching a quiz show that doesn’t offer any freshness.

Maa TV and Star Networks hoped that Chiranjeevi will put it back at the top, but that isn’t happening.

Chiranjeevi should’ve chosen a new concept for his Television debut than going for a done to death game show that lacks freshness and novelty.

It remains to be seen whether Chiranjeevi continue as the host for next seasons or step down after this season.

Here’s the first look of Balakrishna from his 101st film being directed by Puri Jagannadh. Clad in a blue T-shirt and jeans, Balayya looked quite stylish. This leaked look of Balayya is going viral.

Puri, who showcases his heroes in stylish, trendy manner, gets an image-makeover for the protagonists of his films and make sure the hero in his films look new compared to their previous films. Even he had shown Tarak in Temper in a new look that garnered good applause. And so Bunny in Iddaru Ammayilatho and Mahesh Babu in Pokiri, Businessman.

The latest we hear is that Puri is also going to showcase Balayya in the same manner. Given that Balayya’s 100th film is a historic epic Gautamiputra Satakarni, mass fans of Balayya are eagerly looking forward to see their favourite star in Puri’s style.

Yet to be titled, the film is being produced by Anand Prasad and the film will have music by Anup Rubens.

The most awaited trailer of Baahubali 2 was expected to break the existing records but not many would have predicted that it would create such a monumental record that it would take another ‘Baahubali’ scale film to outshine it.

Rajamouli himself announced that the trailer has amassed 50 million views across all languages on Youtube and Facebook in just 24 hours.

Well, it may be noted that no trailer, we repeat.. NO TRAILER, not even of films starring any Khan or Rajnikanth, managed to amass so many views even in lifetime.

“50 Million cumulative views of our trailer, across all languages, on Youtube & Facebook. The most viewed Indian movie trailer in 24hours.‬ I can’t express the appreciation I’ve for our friends, fans, well wishers and media for treating Baahubali as their own. THANK YOU is small a word,” shared Rajamouli.

This shows how eagerly and enthusiastically audiences are waiting for Baahubali 2 which is a first potential Rs 1000 crore grosser from India.

Much to the dislike of married actresses, they are often asked about when they would have a baby?. Actress Vidya Balan, seemingly fed up with this question, has given a startling reply to media when she was asked the same question for the nth time.

Vidya, who is currently busy promoting her upcoming film ‘Begum Jaan’, is actively interacting with media. During a recent interaction, when she was asked about starting a family, Vidya said that no one has a say in it except she and her husband.

“What is this obsession with babies. I am not a baby-making machine,” she retorted. Vidya further said that the world population is already on an alarming rise and it would be absolutely fine if some people don’t have children.

Vidya’s response shocked the media persons to say the least. She married UTV honcho Siddarth Roy Kapoor in 2012.

Actress Pooja Hegde who recently literally stunned everyone with her sensational thigh show for a photo shoot, has now unveiled another hot angle in her.

Pooja looks ravishingly sexy in this pic where she is seen wearing a white bikini. The unbuttoned transparent white rope did neither completely reveal or nor cover those tones thighs and tempting cleavage. Besides possessing an incredible figure, the bodacious lady also has alluring looks to kill beauty admirers.

On the eve of her marriage anniversary, senior actress Jayasudha, who was recently bereaved of her husband Nitin Kapoor, took to facebook to reminisce the memorable time she shared with him.

Jayasudha said that she believes her husband is in the company of angels and that he is finally at peace. She added that wherever he is, he keeps protecting them with his unconditional love.

She also opened up on the issue of depression, which is said to be the reason for the suicide of her husband. “Depression is a real and very overpowering medical condition,” she said.

Jayasudha thanked media saying, “I would appreciate the media not sensationalizing this dark event in my life and respect it for what it is. My family’s privacy, in our time of grief, is of utmost importance to me right no.”.

Nithin Kapoor committed suicide three days ago. He was married to Jayasudha for 32 years.

The epic trailer of ‘Baahubali 2’, which was released yesterday, received appreciation from every corner. Irrespective of the film industry, celebs, filmmakers, trade people, media persons and movie lovers praised the cinematic wonder of India. What about the Tollywood stars?

NTR, Ram, Samantha and a few other Telugu celebs poured appreciation on the trailer through their tweets. From the Mega family, Sai Dharam Tej was the only one to have something to say about the trailer. “Whistle worthy moments throughout the trailer,” said Tej.

Expecting Pawan Kalyan to tweet about movies is absurd whereas Megastar is not on any social media. Charan and Bunny stay reasonably active on social media but they somehow didn’t share their experience after watching the trailer, of course if they have watched it in the first place.

At a time when the entire nation is looking at a Telugu film in awe, it is the minimum responsibility of Telugu film fraternity, especially our star heroes to endorse such films. On the other hand, Telugu film lovers, irrespective of whose fans they were, viewed the trailer, liked it and trended it on social media atop national trends.

The historical 50 million views record wouldn’t have been possible if not for the adulation from every Telugu film buff.
