Boyapati Srinu is not leaving any stone unturned assuring that Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas gets a strong breakthrough with ongoing high budgeted project.

It’s a known fact that Boyapati selects strong padding for all his movies elevating the core emotional strength and family values in script thus enhancing a heroic impact.

After Simha, Legend and Sarrainodu, yet again Boyapati picked huge padding of five forgotten heroes as part of his upcoming film.

Along with Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas, there are young heroes Sashank and Nandu in supporting roles and veteran heroes Sarath Kumar, Jagapathi Babu and Suman locked in for crucial characters.

Altogether, a total of six heroes (present generation and past generation) make this project casting rich.

Reports say, all the artists have got meaty roles and enjoyed the last Bangkok 30 days schedule. That’s the opulent production standards from Boyapati and producer Miryala Ravinder Reddy.

People many times generalise things about Film Industry that if a girl goes super glamorous on the screen, then surely she’s gonna become a super starlet. The present-day superstars like Samantha, Tamanna, Rakul and Kajal mostly fall in this category while there are beauties like Keerthi Suresh as well who bagged biggies without an inch of skin show.

Frankly speaking, skin show along won’t get this star status and it takes much more. Acting, dancing, finding right scripts, being part of right events at right time, mingling with a perfect circle, equation with producers and directors, professional commitments and many other factors matter a lot. If not, this ‘spicy’ brigade would have become top starlets here in Tollywood.

The likes of Sara Jane Dais (Panja heroine), Sonal Chauhan (Legend), Disha Patani (Loafer) and Amyra Dastur (Anekudu fame) are known for their hottest skin show ever in the circuit. Whenever these beauties took magazine covers by a storm with their red hot bikini looks, youths just go mad. But when it comes to films, these hotties never made their mark or yet to score that one-big-happening-life-changing film that could give them a break.

For that to happen, these spices need to improvise their acting skills and much more other than their curvaceous hotness. It’s not hotness++ that matters, but hotness plus something.

Despite not acting beside Pawan Kalyan, Anisha Ambrose got the tag of ‘Pawan’s Heroine’ for just being in news for a long as the heroine of ‘Gabbar Singh 2’.

After making her debut with a small film named ‘Alias Janaki’, Anisha’s name became household in the Telugu sates after Pawan surprisingly selected her as the leading lady of ‘Gabbar Singh 2’. For some reasons, he later changed his mind and replaced her with Kajal.

The disappointed actress soon grabbed two other opportunities, thanks to the fame brought in by Gabbar Singh 2. Her second release, Sundeep Kishan’s ‘Run’ became an outright disaster at box offce. Later, she played a key role in critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful film ‘Manamantha’.

This unlucky actress has now reportedly bagged a new film, Manchu Manoj’s ‘Okkadu Migiladu’. The film also has Regina as another female lead. Anisha is quite excited about this film and she hopes that it will revive her fortune in Tollywood.

Manoj himself is struggling with back to back flops. Lets see how far ‘Okkadu Migiladu’ helps Anisha and the Manchu hero.

Pawan Kalyan’s ex wife Renu Desai tried her had at filmmaking with a Marathi film that ended up as a big flop.

Renu is currently looking for good scripts for her next venture as a director. While Renu was asked if he she has plans to remake any of Power star’s films, pat came the answer “I want to remake Jhonny”.

Why Jhonny out of all his films, it was failure right? But Renu Desai says she would remake the original idea behind Jhonny that was changed for commercial purposes.

As per Renu, who also played the female lead in Jhonny, the script was altered as the makers believed that the original script wouldn’t work out at the box office.

According to the original script, Jhonny character dies towards the end and it would have been a perfect climax for it, opines Renu.

“I think it would have worked if the movie was made as is. If given a chance I would remake Jhonny with the unchanged script,” she said.

Will Allari Naresh get much required boost to his career with his new film which is remake of a Malayalam super hit? Biggest blockbuster in his career is “Sudigadu” which was also a remake.

Allari Naresh is going through worst phase of his career as he delivered nine flops out of ten movies he had done in the last five years.

After the disastrous result of “Intlo Deyyam Nakem Bhayam”, producers have stopped approaching him for dates. Trade pundits have declared that his career has come to an end. But luckily, he has got another chance to prove his mettle.

Allari Naresh is now acting in a film titled “Meda Meedi Abbayi” that is remake of Malayalam hit “Oru Vadakkan Selfie”. This is going to be make or break movie for him. He should deliver a hit with this to stay in the business.

The teaser of actor Pawan Kalyan’s forthcoming Telugu actioner “Katamarayudu” on Sunday crossed 10 million views, making it the highest viewed teaser in the star’s career.

Originally released on February 4, the teaser became a viral sensation in no time.

Directed by Kishore Kumar Pardasani, the film is the official remake of Tamil film “Veeram”.

Also starring Shruti Haasan and Tarun Arora, the film features Pawan Kalyan in a mustache-twirling, dhoti-clad avatar for most part.

Anup Rubens has composed the music and two singles that have already been released are chartbusters. The third single from the film will be released on Sunday.

Produced by North Star Entertainment, the film is slated for March 24 release.

Actress Hebah Patel, who became the darling of Telugu masses with her bold yet cute act in Sukumar’s ‘Kumari 21F’, looked gorgeous during her appearance at Zee Cinema Awards 2017 event last night.

Wearing a thigh-slit long gown, Hebah surely grabbed the attention of Bollywood filmmakers.

It’s been more than a year actor Gopichand did not appear onscreen – Soukhyam was his was last film released in December, 2015. In early 2016, he started filming for couple of projects under the direction of AM Gopikrishna and B Gopal. But, none of them strode into theatres – for several reasons.

So, what’s playing a spoilsport for his upcoming releases and forcing Gopi to delay more? While the post-production works of AM Gopikrishna’s film titled ‘Oxygen’ is steadily underway, B Gopal’s untitled flick faced a financial crunch which was later sorted out by PVP. In the meanwhile, actor Gopichand moved on to other project under the direction of Sampath Nandi- ‘Goutham Nanda’. This first look posters have apparently created quite a buzz for this project.

Considering the long-delay of other two films, Gopichand is now planning to bring Goutham Nanda, also featuring Hansika and Catherine Tresa, into cinemas first and capitalize on it to market the long-delayed films. While Raashi Khanna and Anu Emannuel are the leading ladies in Oxygen, Nayanathara is playing Gopi’s love interest in other film.

Gopichand, who didn’t score a hit since Loukyam is 2014, is looking forward to release all three films this year- starting with Goutham Nanda and he’s exuding high confidence the project. Even the makers of other two projects want to take advantage of Goutham Nanda’s positive impact. Let’s see how it goes.

As the film “Mahanati” featuring Keerthi Suresh as Savitri and Samantha as Jamuna was announced a couple of days later through a pre-look poster, there are many speculations about the casting of the movie. Majorly, everyone talks about who is playing NTR and ANR in the movie. But here is another interesting and important thing.

More than NTR or ANR, the personal who played a crucial role in Savitri’s life is her reel-hero and also real-life hero Gemini Ganesan. He married Savitri as a third wife and that was known to the public only after three years post the marriage. This is one dark angle in the legendary actress’ life which common audiences want to know very clear.

Gemini Ganesan, in reality, has only one legal wife, his first wife Alamelu. Later he had affairs with actresses Pushpavalli and Savitri, who are regarded as his 2nd and 3rd wives. Popular Bollywood actress Rekha is Pushpavalli and Ganesan’s daughter in fact. Then at the age of 78, he married a 30-year-old woman named Julianna. Many say that secretly marrying Gemini Ganesan has ruined the career of Savitri as she never had a smooth personal life.

Now the moot question is, who is playing the role of Gemini Ganesan in the movie and is it possible to make a film on Savitri’s life without hurting sentiments of this superstar’s fans in Tamilnadu? We have to see how director Nag Ashwin handles this.

Finally, Jr NTR will be joining the shooting of his latest film from March 15th and that will make him a contender for Dasara battalion that will hit cinemas. Here is an interesting update about this upcoming film that has Kalyan Ram in the producer’s seat.

Directed by KS Ravindra, the film is tentatively titled Jai Lava Kusa and it has NTR playing three different roles. Buzz is that this film will be another Nannaku Prematho kind of, not for its content, but for its casting. After picking Rashi Khanna and Nivedha Thomas as heroines for this movie, the team is picking actors for other important roles. We hear that they want to zero on both Jagapathi Babu and Rajendra Prasad for two different roles, in case if budget constraints allow them. If not, they will pick either one of them.

At the same time news is being heard that NTR wants in a star heroine for a special number like that way Kajal Agarwal rendered her hotness for Pakka Local in Janata Garage. For this song, there is a likely possibility of Rakul Preet shaking a leg with the smart hero.

Jagapathi Babu, Rajendra Prasad, Rakul Preet, does that remind you of something? Yeah, it’s the Nannaku Prematho team and that’s why we could say it’s NP2, right!!

According to grapevine, a producer has fled away from his lady business-partner who is from a well-known family in the industry. As per rumours, the producer has produced quite a films in association with the lady with a same hero and incurred severe losses as none of the films have worked. Even their last film that released last year was a dud at the Box Office. It’s heard that since then, all is not well between him and her.

This seems to have led to the acute differences between them. The producer was also into other businesses like real-estate and infra and education, and he is now said to have escaped from her with money. As per rumours he is not available to her, her family.

Since already the family got severe setbacks in recent times, this has added to the woes. The family has now taken this matter seriously and it’s said they’re having a lot of discussions within them about the issue. Efforts are underway to trace him and sort this matter privately.
