If grapevine is to be believed, Pawan Kalyan is shooting for Katamarayudu without the presence of director. It’s apparently for the ongoing shoot of a song in Italy which is being shot on Pawan and Shruti Haasan. Director Dolly hasn’t left to Italy as he is occupied with works. Dolly is here in Hyderabad and is taking care of the post-production works of the film since the film has to hit release for March 24.

The film said to had witnessed a few delays in the past apparently due to Pawan’s inconsistent schedule. With Pawan busy with his political meetings and his often interactions with people, the actor said to be couldn’t accommodate his time completely. This said to have affected the shoot timings and the people in unit.

Now the unit is said to be spending overtime to meet the film’s deadline. It’s buzzed that many are having sleepless nights and the works of post-production are said to be going on at blitzkrieg speed. It could be noted that the situation was more or less same for Pawan’s last film “Sardaar Gabbar Singh” too.

Well, one has to wait and see what’s in store for Katamarayudu.

Actress Neha Sharma may not have become as popular as she deserved to be given her bad luck and poor choice of films, but she surely is compensating it by climbing the ladder of fame through some extremely hot photo shoots.

For a latest shoot, the sexy Sharma girl has sizzled in bikini. This pic taken while the hottie is floating in swimming pool is the best of the lot.

Doesn’t she look a ‘Floating Angel’ in bikini?

The star power of an actor is gauged based on how much business his new film can do withstanding the number of his earlier disappointments.

Of late, the Khan trio of Bollywood has been rebranded as Khan Duo after Shah Rukh Khan fell far behind in the box office race. His last few films such as Raees, Fan, Dilwale and Happy New Year fell short of expectations.

In spite of all this, SRK’s upcoming film ‘The Ring’ (working title) has reportedly done staggering business. As per reports, the worldwdie theatrical rights of ‘The Ring’ were sold for a whopping Rs 100Cr+. Including the satellite, audio, digital and other rights, the business will be humongous.

Interestingly, ‘The Ring’ is being directed by Imtiaz Ali, whose films generally cater only to multiplex audiences. As the acclaimed filmmaker and SRK have teamed up for the first time, expectations are high on this romantic drama. The film has Anushka Sharma in female lead role.

Meet the man who dubbed for Prabhas in the Hindi version of Baahubali: The Conclusion. He’s none other than actor Sharad Kelkar who also dubbed for Prabhas in Baahubali: The Beginning. Sharad started his career as a gym instructor followed by modeling then he made his first television debut through Aakrosh which was aired on Doordarshan back in 1980s.

Sharad did a huge number of Television shows before moving into films. He has done some notable roles in Marathi and Hindi films. Sharad Kelkar is also popular to Telugu audiences after his debut in Pawan Kalyan’s Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Sharad played main villain opposite Pawan in the film. Although the film failed to be a commercial success, Sharad got noticed with his role.

After done with the dubbing part for Baahubali 2, Sharad took to Twitter to share the news. Posting a selfie with Rajamouli, Sharad wrote on his micro-blogging page, “Honoured to be a part of #BaahubaliTheConclusion. Thank u @ssrajamouli sir. Trailer coming soon. #VoiceOfBaahubali @karanjohar @DharmaMovies”

Meanwhile, the trailer of Baahubali: The Conclusion will be out on March 15 at a grand gala event to be held in Mumbai. And the film’s audio is expected to take place in Hyderabad in the film’s Mahishmati set in Ramoji Film City. The movie is all set to hit the screens on April 28.

Take a look at this pic and try to figure out who this actress is.

Most people might fail to recognize this once hot actress. She is Rakshita, the beautiful lady who stole the hearts of Telugu youth with her alluring acts in Ravi Teja’s ‘Idiot’. She later romanced the likes of Mahesh Babu, NTR and Nagarjuna.

Her obesity problems however applied brakes to her career sooner than her fans might have anticipated. After marrying Kannada filmmaker Prem, Rakshiha has been missing from silver screen but she nonetheless produced two Kannada films.

Rakshita must be commended for occasionally taking part in filmy events despite having weight issues.

Salman Khan, the superstar actor who’s also the brand ambassador for many companies in India, is stretching arms to set up his own business and turn it into a big brand.

In what could be the interesting move from this Dabbangg star, he is all set to foray into mobile manufacturing business and join the existing zone where the rivalry between domestically-dominated companies Intex and Micromax is quite high.

Also, Chinese manufactures like Oppo, Xiaomi and Vivo are competing in the same zone to score high. Amidst the competition, Salman is getting ready to set up ‘Being Smart’ smartphones which is seen as a follow up venture to his clothing brand ‘Being Human’. With Being Smart, Salman will reportedly continue his philanthropic work as profits made would be driven to ‘Being Human Foundation’.

Although more details were not disclosed, reports suggest that Salman Khan is building a management with experienced leaders from Samsung and Micromax. Salman and other family members are involved in forming this joint venture to develop new-age smart phones based on Android technology.

With a aim to kick off the initial sales online and later in retail markets, Khan is reportedly keen to lead the brand and is expecting an investor too. As Being Smart phones are likely to hit markets soon, it remains to be seen how the existing companies will face threat from Khan’s brand.

The latest title registered by Akkineni Nagarjuna under Annapurna Studios banner has become a topic of discussion in film circles.

‘Ra Randoy..Veduka Chuddam’, this look likes the title of a perfect family entertainer. However, the confusion is whether this is the title of Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming romantic entertainer that is being directed by ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ fame Kalyan Krishna or Akhil’s film with Vikram Kumar.

It may be noted that Vikram Kumar has earlier divulged that his film with Akhil will have an innovative theme and it will be told in a commercial format. Going by the kind of films he makes, there is very less probability for choosing this title for #Akhil2.

On the other hand, Kalyan Krishna is making a ‘Ninne Pelladatha’ format film with Chaitu. ‘Ra Randoy.. Veduka Chuddam’ looks to be a perfect title for an out and out family entertainer so Nag is believed to have registered this title for Chai’s film only. Also starring Rakul Preet, the film’s shooting is currently underway.

Meanwhile, Akhil-Vikram project will go on floors on April 1, 2017.

Multi-talented Tamil actor Simbu has now hit headlines after introducing his mother as a singer.

Being the son of T Rajender, who himself was an accomplished actor, director, choreographer, singer etc. Simbu has already proved his multi-faceted talent. Besides being a successful actor, he is a director, singer, lyric writer, screenplay writer etc.

The young hero has now become a music composer. The first album he composed was for Tamil comedian-turned-hero Santhanam’s new film ‘Sakka Podu, Podu Raja’.

Interestingly, both Simbu’s mother and father have sung for this album. Rajender has rendered so many songs in his career but this is the first time Simbu’s mother Usha sang a song for a film. Fans of the actor are now eagerly waiting for the album’s launch.

We have already reported that the first schedule of Young Tiger NTR’s new film, ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ has commenced a few days ago without NTR.

The fresh update is that NTR will be joining the team in the second schedule which will commence from March 15 at Ramoji Film City. Key scenes on the actor and the principle characters will reportedly be canned by director Bobby.

NTR has recently returned from Dubai after personally shopping his costumes for this film. As the actor is playing three contrasting characters in the film, there is tremendous curiosity among audiences. The team has also roped in some big names to meet the expectations of movie lovers.

Actress Sunny Lone has recently stole the hearts of fans and proved why she still is arguably the queen of masses.

Sunny looked bodacious when she walked the ramp at India Beach Fashion Week (IBFW) 2017 that was held in Goa. Flaunting her perfect figure in a floral printed gown, she looked exquisitely hot.

Although many actresses walked the ramp during the event and flaunted their toned figures in relatively sexier outfits, Sunny dominated all of them with her inimitable oomph.

The ongoing war of words between Kangana Ranaut and director Karan Johar turned worse as Kangana shot back to Karan.

It all began two weeks ago with Kangana’s comment on his Karan’s TV show “Coffee with Karan” Season-5 where she called him the “snooty flag-bearer of nepotism” and hinted that he was running a “movie mafia”. Karan just retained that part of Kangana on show and aired it as it is. This has invited a lot of comments from many who questioned whether Karan was admitting allegations leveled by Kangana.

Later this week, Karan Johar while speaking on the sidelines of an event at the London School of Economics, opened up and retorted saying that Kangana may not have understood the meaning of the word nepotism, that he was fed up of seeing her play the ‘woman card’ and ‘victim card’ and that if the actress had such a problem with the way Bollywood functions, she should think about quitting industry as no one asking her to stay and do films.

This naturally didn’t go well with spunky Kangana who shot back with sharp reply to Karan. In her latest interview to a leading daily, Kangana said, “I’m surprised with the “graciousness” he says he displayed in choosing to not edit my comments on him on the show. Let’s not forget that a channel wants TRPs, and he is just a paid host.”

Kangana didn’t mince her words and continued, “Indian film industry is not a small studio given to Karan by his father. The industry belongs to every Indian and is highly recommended for outsiders like me whose parents were too poor to give me a formal training. I learnt on the job and got paid for it, using the money to educate myself in New York. He is nobody to tell me to leave it. I’m definitely not going anywhere, Mr Johar.”

Responding to Karan’s comments that she is using ‘woman card’ and ‘victim card’, Kangana retorted, “I used badass card on his show.” Kanagana didn’t stop there and went ahead and said that Karan should provide all ‘woman card’, ‘victim card’, ‘badass card’ to his daughter and women could use whatever card when they need. Recently, Karan is the father of a little daughter (Johar became a single parent of twins, who were born through surrogacy).

Now let’s see how Karan is going to give it back to Kangana.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s ongoing film with AR Murugudoss continue to hit the headlines over its title. As the mega suspense on the film’s name continues, several names have been propping up one after the other.

After Sambhavami, Agent Shiva, Abhimanyu, Marmam and other names did the rounds, the latest that is strongly heard is Spider. It’s buzzed that SPYder is apt for the film and both Mahesh, Murugudoss said to have voted for it.

But even there is a mixed response on the fresh name. It’s said that there’re apprehensions on how audience going to receive this. It’s also heard that there could be a second-thought over the fresh name.

Meanwhile, the title logo that is slated for today seems to have postponed as the title is fixed in the last minute.

Billed to be edge-of-the-seat-thriller, Mahesh is playing the role of an Intelligence Bureau officer. Rakul Preet will be seen as his love interest.

Actress Sangeetha, who was one of the well recognized faces across Southern film industries in early 2000s, is noted to Telugu audiences with movies such as Khadgam, Sankranthi, Vijayendra Varma etc.

She got married to film playback singer Krish in 2009 and became a mother in 2012. Post her marriage, Sangeetha decided to take care of her family and refrained from acting assignments. She however is continued to be seen on cameo appearances every now and then.

Things are looking up for Sundeep Kishan. Yes, NAGARAM is the talk of the town now. Maanagaram, titled Nagaram in Telugu, is the favourite of critics after recent screenings. So, we decided to tell you why the film is a must watch this weekend in theatres near you. CineGalaxy, Inc. is releasing this film this weekend in North America.

Performances: this is by far Sundeep Kishan’s best performance since Prasthanam, and he has done a brilliant job. But it’s not just him, the entire cast has complemented him beautifully with Regina et al giving their best.

Great writing: the brilliance of the film is the writing. It’s crisp, to the point and very engaging. It would pull you into the story. It’s not every day that you see an urban political thriller which explores metropolitan dreams. And that too, done so well.

Last, but the most important are the film’s brilliant sound design and cinematography which sure take the film to an international level!
