Director Vikramaditya Motwane, who made critically acclaimed films like ‘Udaan’ and ‘Lootera’ is back with his latest directorial ‘Trapped’.

Starring national award winning actor Rajkumar Rao, ‘Trapped’ tells the story of a guy who gets accidentally locked in his apartment. The film’s intriguing trailer was released the other day.

Upon getting trapped in his apartment in a multi-storey building, Rao makes desperate attempts to get the attention of the building’s watchman who is way too many floors beneath him. With no one coming for his help, Rao has to deal with lack of food, water supply etc for days.

The survival tale was reportedly shot in 20 odd days. ‘Trapped’ will hit screens on March 17 this year.

Of late, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna are providing enough warm moments which prove the good relation between them irrespective of the social media war of their fans.

Ahead of the clash of Khaidi No.150 and GPS, Chiru wished the team of GPS and said that Balayya has been a close friend for years. Later, Balayya too said that Chiru was his dearest friend in film industry.

Now, when the duo has come face to face at the wedding reception of music director Koti’s son, all the guests could do nothing but stare gleefully as the two legends warmly interacted with each other. They reportedly spoke for a few minutes during their stay at the reception.

Pawan Kalyan is one star who could change a decision overnight and gets things done in a different way. This time, he has shifted Switzerland to Hyderabad for upcoming Katamarayudu, not literally, but only opted for a location change.

If seductress Shruti Haasan’s dates are available then Pawan and his team are supposed to fly to Switzerland to shoot the songs of Katamarayudu. There are her dates, however, Pawan took a new decision basing on the feedback he has received for Gabbar Singh songs.

Some peppy numbers like Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham from Gabbar Singh would have looked stunning if they are shot at a specially erected folk-set than in Switzerland, some said. Taking a clue from this, Pawan has now made his team built one such set in Ramoji Film City and from yesterday he’s swinging to the tunes of Anup Rubens there along with his leading lady.

Despite being a known story and already released dubbed-film, Katamarayudu is getting some extra additions basing on Pawan’s creative interference and we have to see how this film directed by Dolly will turn in the end. Sharat Marrar is producing it.

Well, you haven’t forgotten Raasi right. She is the same hot, glamorous and voluptuous beauty returning to Telugu cinema with thriller Lanka directed by Srimuni.

First look poster of Lanka is unveiled today and this seems to be definitely a promising suspense thriller produced by Namana Dinesh and Namana Vishnu Kumar on Rolling Rocks Entertainments banner.

Raasi although is appearing now and then in selected supporting characters, Lanka is her true comeback with a perfect female centric script. Let’s hope, the film stands up to the excitement built by this first look poster. Lanks is in final post production mode to release soon.

Believing in various spiritual stuff and also some crazy sentiments is always part and parcel of Telugu cinema. Here everyone has their own sentiment. Going by the revelations made by few Tamil film industry insiders, it seems like a special Pooja worked for seductress Trisha big time.

Ever since Trisha is back on Twitter on Valentines Day post her exit from the micro-blogging circuit due to the Jallikattu backlash a month earlier, the dusky actress is literally stunning everyone. There was a time where there are only a couple of low-budgeted films in Trisha’s kitty and then it’s heard that she undertook this pooja ceremony.

Actually, our dusky siren flies to Thailand every year for indulging in a various sand and ayurvedic massage sessions that rejuvenate her body and keeps her skin glowing despite her age crossing 30 years mark. During one such trip recently, she’s advised by a massage parlour woman to take up this special pooja at a temple on the outskirts of Bangkok city. Convinced by her revelations, even Trisha did no late in undertaking the pooja, a source revealed.

Guess what, recently Trisha has released the first look of her films like 96 and Gajranai, and also announced her pairing with Vikram yet again for “Saami” sequel. In fact, she has officially 7 projects in hand right now.

There was a time where Trisha just broke up her engagement and lost ground as star heroine in Telugu and literally there is no film in hand. And now there are seven projects officially lined up and others in a discussion. Should we attribute this to Trisha’s Bangkok Poojas?

Although it has been six months since the shoot of Mahesh Babu’s new film in the direction of AR Murugadoss commenced, no official update about the progress has yet been made. The latest revelation of the film’s leading lady, Rakul Preet Singh has now come as a huge surprise.

During a recent media interaction, Rakul said that she has shot for only 50 percent of her part for Mahesh’s film and that another 50 percent was still pending.

Rakul’s statement has come as a big surprise as the film is being continuously shot for the past 5-6 months. As many as ten schedules must have been wrapped up in Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangkok etc. Fans expected that most part of the shoot was over and that the entire film will be wrapped up in a month.

But, going by Rakul’s words, a good amount of work is still pending and the shoot may be dragged to April end. The untitled film’s shooting is currently taking place in Kadapa district. Scenes involving Mahesh and Rakul are expected to be shot in a fresh schedule next month. June 23 is the tentative release date.

As the shoot of Murugadoss’s film is getting delayed, Mahesh-Koratala project which was supposed to take off towards January end is reportedly pushed to May. Dasara release has reportedly rescheduled to Sankranthi 2018 release.

Simran had left the film industry after her marriage when she was at the peak of her career. Sharing screen spaces alongside stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and so on, she married her childhood friend Deepak and blessed with two sons.

After taking break, she has made her comeback and did impress with a few notable roles. Now she will soon be seen in a strict police officer in an upcoming film. What’s more? The movie has Aravind Swamy in pivotal role.

Although the duo might not be having romance, it’s said that both are going to act together. Since both are known as performing actors and considering that Aravind Swamy is rocking at this phase of his carrer, having them together on screen is an interesting combination.

Simran is hoping to hog the attention once again with this film. Tamil director Selva, who’s popular for remakes, is helming the film. Let’s see whether his film would once again bring Simran back to limelight or not.

One will most likely lose count if asked to name the movies of Balayya having ‘Simha’ word in the title. It is reported that the 101st film of Balayya might also have Simha connection.

Various reports and names of directors are making rounds with Puri Jagannath and KS Ravi Kumar as the strong contenders to bag the opportunity of directing Balayya’s 101st film. Ravi Kumar is said to have a slight edge over Puri given the recent track record of the crazy Telugu director.

Reportedly, KS Ravi Kumar has impressed Balayya with a faction backdrop subject ans got his approval. The screenplay work is currently in progress. ‘Reddy Garu’ and ‘Jayasimha’ are the two titles that are under consideration for this film. Both the titles sound powerful and will perfectly suit to Balayya and the faction genre.

Milky beauty Tamannah Bhatia is reportedly being considered to romance Balayya. Given that the milky siren has no Telugu film in her kitty, she might give her nod to this project without worrying about how odd her pairing with the senior hero might look on big screen.

Ravikumar has earlier directed megastar in ‘Sneham Kosam’ and Nagarjuna in ‘Bava Nachadu’. He has a special knack in dealing senior heroes so his combo with Balayya should definitely be worth looking forward to.

People having doubts over whether Samantha would accept only reserved characters post her engagement and imminent marriage, must have a look at this picture to clear up all such doubts.
