Definitely, Tollywood doesn’t know who is Nia Sharma, but this TV serial actress from Mumbai shot to fame after she started posting her bikini pictures a lot on Instagram. And suddenly she’s picked as Most Sexiest Asian at 3rd spot overthrowing the likes of hotties like Alia Bhatt and Shradda Kapoor.

Since that sudden surge in popularity, Nia is busy publishing more and more pictures of her from vacations where she would be seen in two piece exotic outfits. Flaunting her curves all the time, she won instant fanbase and also offers in web series like “Twisted”.

Taking her popularity for a ride, today some miscreants hacked her Instagram account and posted that they are deleting her account as she happens to be a bitch. For the same, she replied on twitter, “I may be a bitch but loved my Instagram a lot.. please release it if you’re done playing?”.

She further added, “What pleasures do they derive out of hacking an account??? I enjoyed my Instagram the most. Thanx can’t do it anymore. And why… I want to know.!! I feel I just lost an organ”.

Most actresses these days are very much attached to their social media pages and we understand how they feel if they lose access to it. Hope she gets her account back soon.

Senior hero Venkatesh’s latest release ‘Guru’ which hit screens on March 31st, looks to be on its way to become a lucrative venture for all the people involved.

Made on a budget of under Rs 10 crore, Guru has amassed a distributor share of around Rs 8 crore in the first weekend alone. Riding on positive word of mouth, the sports drama has reportedly been drawing decent crowds on week days too. The coming Sri Ramanavami holiday is another advantage. The only notable release of next week, ‘Cheliyaa’, may not give competition to Guru in B,C centers.

Given these positive factors, Guru is expected by trade pundits to have a decent second week run. In such scenario, raking in a worldwide share of around Rs 20 crore is not at all a difficult task. The satellite rights will fetch around Rs 6 crore. The digital, audio, dubbing and other rights will also fetch good sum.

Overall, Guru is emerging to be a profitable venture. It may be noted that the last hit of Tollywood, ‘Ghazi’ also starred a Daggubati family hero.

At a time when actresses are one by one opening up on the alleged casting couch menace in film industry, top actress Kajal Aggarwal too admitted that it exists.

During a latest interview, Kajal has reportedly said that although she has never directly faced casting couch, she heard it from several actresses. ‘Through my actress-friends, I learnt that some filmmakers and actors seek sexual favors in return of movie offers. Its a sad truth. I hope that people’s mindset towards actresses changes,’ she added.

Malayalam actress Parvathy has recently opened up on how she was sidelined from several projects for not surrendering to the sexual demands. Radhika Apte has more than once spoken about casting couch in Southern film industry. Senior actress Kasthuri too allegedly talked about her horrendous experience in a recent interview.

Even star kid Varalakshmi Sarathkumar has confessed to have come across demands of sexual favors. If an actress having powerful parents like Sarathkumar and Radhikaa can be subjected to casting couch, one can understand the dire situation of newcomers who come to industry with passion and so many dreams.

All the key persons involved in the making of Katamarayudu were criticized for one or other reasons. But, the most criticized team member is music composer Anup Rubens. Well, it seems that the failure of Katamarayudu and his work couldn’t stop him from signing two crazy projects.

Anup has reportedly been signed by Vikram Kumar for his new film starring Akhil Akkienni. The director has earlier worked with Anup for Ishq and Manam, and the young composer has given hit music for both the films. Hence, Vikram has once again entrusted Anup with the responsibility of giving another hit album for his latest project.

Vikram signing Anup didn’t come as a surprise given their hit collaboration earlier. However, Puri signing him is definitely a shocker. The names of Puri and Balayya itself indicate that it will be a mass entertainer.

Anup was earlier heavily criticized for his work on Katamarayudu, which was also an action entertainer. Neither the so so songs nor the spineless background music of Anup helped the film. Despite this, Puri has roped him in for Balayya’s film. In general, Balayya’s films possess mass songs and thundering background scores.

How Anup manages to do justice to #NBK101 is a moot question.
