Who can forget Rakul’s scintillating show in the song Pareshanura from Dhruva. The song is currently creating ripples on YouTube with over 25 lakh views. The whole and sole reason for the craze around this song is Rakul’s tempting skin show.

As Charan said Rakul has simply outclassed everyone and owned the song. Now the sexy damsel is coming to sizzle again and this time it is with another hero from the mega family.

Rakul’s Winner is all set to hit the marquee on this Friday and we are in for a spicy treat from the shapely beauty.

Here is a glimpse of what is in store for Winner. The ultimate glamour diva is incredibly saucy in that designer yellow saree, which gives a good view of Rakul’s washboard abs.

Even though actress Taapsee expressed her anguish about Telugu Film Industry and expressed her qualms about South in the past for various reasons, she seems have no complaint on her south fans.

For hardcore fans, a selfie or a shake hand can be the greatest gift they get from their favorite stars. But, the lovely Taapsee is set to give a heartwarming and special experience to one of her great fans who is getting married in Hyderabad next month.

Following the personal invitation of her dear fan, who’s said to be in good touch with Taapsee though mails, the actress has reportedly agreed to grace his marriage event in Secunderabad. Although it’s not well known who’s that lucky fan, arrangements for her visit are currently underway. In her statement, the actress spoke about her fan, ‘He’s a sweet guy who always admired my work and so, I wanted to take off a day for him.’

On one hand, the lady who turned lucky with Pink is on a roll as both of her weekend releases -Ghazi and Running Shaadi-are fetching good money at box office, and on other hand, she is shooting for Naam Shabana, Tadka and Judwaa-2.

Suriya’s Singam 3 or S3 might have garnered mixed reviews and even audiences response to the film is reasonably good. In fact, S3 got better response from crowd compared to Nag’s Om Namo Venkatesaya. Yet S3 would not be termed as a hit given that the film is sold for high distribution rates.

On other hand, S3 would join the list of Suriya’s failures. Suriya’s last film 24 too failed to meet the high expectations. While the film has done well in Telugu, the film ended as a failure in Tamil. Overall, 24 is declared as a Box Office failure despite garnering rave reviews.

The other flops of Suriya were Rakshasudu (Massu Engira Masilamani) and Sikandar (Anjaan). Even Rakshadu got average reviews but that didn’t translate into commercial success. Whereas Sikander is a disappointment both critically and commercially not up to the mark.

Suriya’s last hit film was Singam 2 aka Yamudu 2. Now, Suriya is under pressure to choose his films wisely. Although he has good following in Telugu, Tamil, if his flop streak continues, this would affect his stardom in the long run.

Raking up good numbers in the first weekend is one thing and sustaining momentum in the week days is another thing. Rana Daggubati’s underwater drama ‘Ghazi’ has passed both these tests.

After posting impressive numbers in its first weekend, Ghazi has performed steadily on first Monday as well.

4 Days AP & TG Share – Rs 4.56Cr

As per reliable trade reports, the worldwide share of 4 days could be close to Rs 7.5 Cr. The positive reviews, taut screenplay and performances of the actors have worked in favor of the film.

How the film sustains competition from next week biggies like Sai Dharam Tej’s ‘Winner’ and Vijay Antony’s ‘Yaman’ is crucial to decide where the film ends up.

In a first of its kind, the regional Censor Board in Hyderabad was attacked on Tuesday morning. Apparently, six unidentified men, susected to be the students of OU JAC, have trespassed into Censor Office in Gandhinagar and resorted to violence over Censor’s denial to pass “Saranam Gachchami” film that is based on the reservation system.

Students said to have displaced the files in Censor Office and property like chairs, furniture were broken expressing angst for not passing the film.

Cops have registered cases for trespassing, physical attack. A detailed probe is ordered. Investigation is ordered and video footage is being verified. Meanwhile, the producer and director of the film have distanced from the attack and claimed innocence. More details are yet to be known.

The alleged abduction and molestation of Malayalam actress Bhavana has been the talking point. Responding on the shocking incident where the Mahatma heroine was physically abused in a moving car by her former driver, Rakul Preet said, “My parents have always worried about my safety whenever I travel or shoot. But I often discard their “cautions” and tell them that they don’t know. I was very confident about my safety as I’m surrounded by my driver, my staff whenever I go out. But the incident of Bhavana has shocked me. It felt me scared and realised no one is safe.”

Rakul Preet further added that there’s no point in celebrating women’s day, mother’s day as long as men don’t respect women around them. She demanded that the guilty should be given serious punishment so that no one would resort to such acts again.

Rakul, who herself is a fitness freak and running a gym, says women need to be self-defensive. If she comes across such terrible situation, Rakul says she would punch the goons. “I don’t think. I’ll beat them up,” said Rakul.

However good the films are made, making the audiences of this generation sit for three hours in theatres has become a monumental task for filmmakers. This has been proved by the failure of several good yet lengthy films at box office.

In order not to take such risk, makers of highly awaited upcoming bollywood film ‘Rangoon’, have reportedly re-edited the film and cut it short by close to 40 minutes. The original runtime during the censor certification was 2 hours and 47 minutes and it is reduced to just over 2 hours now.

The decision to trim the film just a few days ahead of its release was voluntarily taken by film’s producers, director Vishal Bharadwaj and his creative team. ‘Although the film turned out to be an extremely well-packaged product, we had to cut some good scenes in order to make the film more engaging for today’s generation,’ a member from the unit reportedly said.

The film starring Kangana Ranaut, Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor is all set to hit screens on February 24.

The obsession of some ardent fans for their favorite heroes sometimes leads to unwanted troubles. We have seen it time and again, in fact SRK made a movie on the same subject with the title ‘Fan’. Here is another such case where a fan threatened his favorite hero of taking up indefinite fast unless his demand is met.

It is known that energetic young hero Ram is yet to make an announcement about his new film post the debacle of ‘Hyper’, needless to say that his fans are disappointed.

Taking fanism to new heights, a fan of Ram has sent a twitter message to Ram conveying that he would be taking up indefinite fast until the actor announces his new film. He stressed that he was serious and even started the count mentioning it was Day 1.

A cautious Ram soon replied to him, promising that the discussions for his new film were on and that an announcement would soon be made. He conveyed his love and asked fans to be patient.

After the success of ‘Nenu Sailaja’, Ram was confident of scoring another super hit with ‘Hyper’ but the film disappointed him to an extent that he could not decide upon his new project even after six months.

Tamil music composer turned actor Vijay Antony, who rose to stardom in Telugu and Tamil film industries with ‘Bichagadu’, admitted that he was not a good actor and that the good scripts make him look like one.

Antony has carved a niche for himself, a reliable hero for commercial yet different cinema, with the kind of scripts he chooses. The ‘Bethaludu’ actor said that he takes extra care during post-production stage of his films to compensate for his limited acting skills.

“There are born actors and there are learned actors, I am neither. Hence I do the right work during post-production stage. I believe that a film can be saved during the editing,” said a candid Antony in an interview.

He divulged that that his new film Yaman, a political thriller, is the story of a village underdog turned powerful politician. He added that his character has both positive and negative shades. The film is slated for February 24 release.

Post debacle of Thikka, Sai Dharam Tej is prepping up with his next Winner. As the film is all set for release, he is cool, composed. Ahead of Winner, Sai gets talking to Gulte for a candid interview.

Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi & Naga Babu

Like my all other uncles, am pretty close with Pawan Mama too. He’s so caring. He’s there whenever I need him. In fact, I was supposed to be launched under his home banner Pawan Kalyan Creative Works, but somehow it didn’t materialise. We’ve been thinking to do a film on his banner, but will have to see when it’s going to happen. Even am very excited to work under his production. Who don’t want to be right?

No, he didn’t watch none of my films yet. Chiranjeevi garu have watched a few of my films like Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham and he appreciated me. Naga Babu garu too so close and very supporting. Am blessed to be having them as my uncles.

Rumours

It’s been over two years since my debut. I got used to rumours, gossips. I’ve developed thick skin towards them as I don’t have any other option. Especially, rumours on my affairs had no truth. But I didn’t take them seriously as it’s part and parcel of an actor’s life. Also a few are surviving by spreading such. So I left it to them.

But when am really in love with a girl and she too accepts my proposal, I’ll not be calm and will announce to the whole world. It’s 2017, I don’t think there’s no point in hiding love. Being in love is best thing to happen. When it does, what’s the point to keep it as a secret.

Rakul is good friend of mine. We all started at one time. Rakul, me, Sundeep, Regina. So we’re very close. And acting with your friend is really makes your work comfortable.

Marriage

I’m happy being single. I’m enjoying this phase of my life. So far, have been living the way parents like. Let me live my way before I get married. After all, after marriage we have no option but to live the way wife likes. After marriage, we have to listen to wife and no other option. (Giggles).

Winner

I have been planning to work with Gopi anna. He had narrated me a story during Supreme or Thikka and we were thinking. In between, Veligonda Sreenivas has come up with this interesting story. Gopi Anna and I liked and we went ahead. I’ve acted with Jagapathi Babu garu in my first film. Since then, I share special bond with him. I’m glad am acting with him again in Winner.

Anasuya

We’re very happy that she’s part of our film. She’s so beautiful and lively. Like I said in pre-release function, she even inspired Chota garu. Her beauty made his work more interesting.

Upcoming films

I’m doing a brief role in Nakshatram. It’s a 15 minute role. Am very happy to work in Krishna Vamsi sir film at so early part of my life. Every character in his film has an importance and it shines. Upnext is Jawaan where I team up with BVS Ravi. I don’t play a soldier but I play a common man who has to choose between his family and nation.

Telugu Cinema

Yes, Telugu Cinema is going through great change of late. Happy to be witnessing the change and being part of it. Am looking forward to do interesting stuff in days to come. Films like Ghazi, Kshanam, Pelli Choopulu are welcome change. We’re slowly transforming.

Will do whatever entertains audiences. I don’t mind doing commercial films too as long as I entertain. I’m open to multistarrers. Especially looking forward to share screen space with Chiranjeevi garu and Pawan Kalyan garu together.

Bold beauty Anushka Sharma looks to have redefined hotness for the latest edition of GQ magazine. Wearing black lingerie and exposing her cleavage with a bindaas attitude, Anushka looks a million bucks in this pic.

The talented actress will next be seen in her second production venture ‘Phillauri’, which is due for March 24 release. She is playing a ghost in the movie.

While keeping a huge set of brand endorsements under once arm will not be a status of stardom, surely they help taking stardom to next level.

That’s what happened with Mahesh Babu as well in Tollywood. During his Khaleja times, despite having no film releases for years, he rose to stardom, thanks to a dozen of brand endorsements that are in his kitty.

Now, Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is also exerting similar supremacy on his peers, by grabbing the endorsements that once had top stars. After making Mahesh Babu as their Thoofani ambassador for the whole of India, Thumbs Up has again roped in Salman Khan for North-Indian version.

Now, all the ads of Thumbs Up for the upcoming cricketing season are grabbed by new guy Ranvir Singh. He’s promoted as a New Thoofani.

If not stealing Salman Khan’s ad, Ranvir also took over Allu Arjun as Colgate’s front face even for the South TV commercials. And when Ranbir Kapoor is  likely to feature in Roopa Banian’s ad, now Ranveer took over them as well. Many in the film industry are asking, how many advertisements the Bajirao Mastani star will steal this way?

Royal Stag, Ching’s Secret, Make My Trip, Head and Shoulders, Vivo Phones, Set Wet styling, Durex condoms, Myntra, Maruthi and Jack & Jones are some of the other brands in Ranveer Singh’s kitty right now.

Gone are the days when celebrities used to feel shy when asked about the dark secrets of their lives. The young celebs of this age however are openly revealing everything from their first sex experiences to favorite sex positions.

Sri Lankan sex bomb Jacqueline Fernandez, who stole the hearts of Indian youth with her raunchy act opposite Emraan Hashmi in ‘Murder 2’ is the latest actress to reveal her most private secrets probably in her bid to prove how ‘Cool’ she is.

Jacqueline said that she had her first lip-lock experience at 14 and that she had love affair with a boy for three years during her school days. She added that many boys took advantage of her reserved nature in the past and that she still regrets kissing some boys then.

Jacqueline’s bold revelations have joined the leadue of elite revelations by the likes of Sonam Kapoor, she revealed that someone inappropriately touched her breasts in school, Alia Bhatt, revealed her favorite sex position and other things, Ranveer Singh, the ‘Befikre’ actor stunned all by revealing he lost his virginity at 12 etc.

When Pawan Kalyan was confined only to movies, the world had a good picture about his disinterest to meet people and fans. Since he’s now entered political arena, it shouldn’t be the case offcouse. But, things seems to have unchanged – yes! Read on…

From a while, a word has it that it’s quite a herculean task to meet Powerstar Pawan Kalyan. In what can be called as a support statement to that, the Krishna district buyer of Sardaar Gabbar Singh yesterday alleged, ‘it is very tough to meet Pawan Kalyan and a coterie surrounding him is literally barricading everyone. Eventually, I cannot meet him and seek help for the losses I incurred with Sardaar.’

Adding to it, Industry folks also carry a report that it is really a daunting task to approach Pawan Kalyan, as he doesn’t devote time to meet visitors or frequently engage with fans like other movie actors. Even the personal mobile number of Pawan Kalyan is not known to many, except to his very close group of friends, family.

Now that Pawan is into politics, the similar style of rule sheet and group of the inner circle could hinder his chances of meeting diverse people and listen to them. Because spending more time with people of different class is the prime role for a politico. Unlike other actors, Pawan doesn’t maintain a office to deal movie affairs. He only holds an office to deal the activities of Jana Sena.

Since Pawan is making concerted efforts to steer his political image in a different way, he should also rework or rebuild his current coterie to achieve his political goal otherwise he will be remain as Kondarivadu.

Rumours are doing the rounds in Tollywood circuit that actress Rakul Preet Singh is even paid for the promotion. Talk has it that Rakul is apparently paid to take part in the promotions of her ready-for-release film Winner. Producers of Winner said to have taken two days of Rakul’s dates and using those dates during the publicity activities of film.

Going into details, Rakul’s dates were blocked much in advance by the producers. As per the initial plan, a song was supposed to be shot on both Rakul and Sai Dharam Tej. However, the makers said to have dropped to shoot the song since the film’s release date – Feb 24 – is announced already and don’t want to miss the date as it also coincides with Maha Shivratri festival.

This isn’t all. Even the film’s budget said to have shot up already and taking note of all these, director, producers and the team in unison decided to call off the shoot of the song.

This resulted in the two days dates of Rakul and producers decided to use it for the promotions of Winner. So, if one is wondering how come Rakul is aggressively promoting Winner and giving a spree of interviews to TV channels, print media, this is the story.
