Leading young Music composer Anirudh who was earlier trapped in a lip-lock scandal video with actress Andrea has now been caught red-handed in another sex scandal video. The video is going viral on all social media platforms.

However, Anirudh denied the reports and said they were fake and the guy who pretends to be him is just a look-alike of him. Well, there are even more clarity explanations describing that it is not him in the video.

Makers of #RamCharan11 made it official that young actress Anupama Parameswaran is not part of the project anymore.

However, they denied the media reports about Anupama demanding high remuneration being the reason for it. But they didn’t tell the reason for showing her the door.

“This is to clarify that while it is true that Anupama Parameswaran is not a part of Ram Charan – Sukumar project, it is not correct that it is on account of high remuneration demanded by her as reported in social media and some news columns. Such news is totally false and she has never made any such demands.

We wish to reiterate that Anupama is a highly talented and thorough professional and she will certainly be a part of our future projects,” stated Mythri Movie Makers in their official note.

So who is going to replace Anupama in this period love story directed by Sukumar? What is the true reason for ousting such a successful and talented actress after signing her up after doing the screen test and photo shoots? Will the makers ever reveal the actual reason for it?

Back in 2007, Ram Charan might have started as Daddy’s boy with Chirutha. Debuted as a heir apparent to Chiru in acting, Ram Charan slowly cemented his position.

When Chiru had taken acting sabattical by getting busy in politics and Pawan was ruling the industry, mega fans were shattered. While Chiru’s hardcore fans have calmed down since Boss is busy with politics, other mega fans were disbursed and a few others were clue less.

Even in this difficult time, Ram Charan showed up a decent performance. As his films were stable at the BO, producers who have worked with him too happy and Charan carved out a niche for himself.

And after almost a decade gap, now Boss is back with his 150th film. Ram Charan who is successful as an actor donned producer’s hat. Though the people on the ground who worked for Khaidi’s success were Allu Aravind along with Gemini Kiran, GK Mohan and others, ultimately it’s Charan who walked away with the laurels.

The success of Khaidi is going to be a huge advantage to none other than Ram Charan himself as mega fans have all united with Chiru’s comeback film and thus it is now expected to help Ram Charan. Even the success as a producer will be great asset as many distributors, exhibitors want to be in good books as he has already announced Chiru’s 151 and this may help Ram Charan’s future projects.

This is the doubt that has arisen in the minds of those intellectual cinema lovers now. Because Megastar Chiranjeevi’s image is so vast and he too never likes such death stuff, will he agree to die on the silver screen?

Not just Chiranjeevi, but many star heroes don’t like to die at the end in a movie like it happened even in Raees movie recently, which gave a shocker to fans when Shah Rukh is encountered in the climax. Especially Telugu stars took such risky moves rarely. After getting a super haze around his mega image and becoming the ultimate Megastar of Telugu films, Chiranjeevi never agreed to anti-climaxes in any of his films.

In films like Tagore, Chiranjeevi insisted his writers to change the climax, where in the original the protagonist shoots himself in the head and dies, but in Telugu version he fights in the court of law and wins sympathy of everyone. But in the case of upcoming film Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, actual history says that the fierce warrior from the Rayalaseema region got hanged to death by the Britishers after he revolted. Will Chiranjeevi now agree to be seen hanged?

Maybe they will not show the final hanging scene, but will indicate with text that “Uyyalawada is hanged to death, but his spirit lived on to inspire Telugus and Indians for next 100 years to fight for Independence”. If this death scene is altered, there is no point in discussing the pre-independent history through this movie.

Telugu film industry is known for ardent fan bases and the adulation of these fans knows no boundaries. When the enthusiastic fans of a mass Telugu hero have recently planned to at least meet him on the eve of his birthday, he disappointed them to the core.

Known for his massy fun entertainers, this aged hero has celebrated his birthday just recently. On the eve, a large number of his fans gathered at his office in Film Nagar to wish him. Despite they waited from the early morning to the late evening, the hero, who is making a comeback after a one year sabbatical, didn’t bother to come.

As the hero’s PR team kept saying that he would come, poor fans waited for close to 12 hours. In the end, they were bombarded with the universal escaping lie, ‘hero had FEVER’.

The deeply hurt fans had to return with utter disappointment inflicted by their star hero on the eve of his birthday. Had he shown some concern for his fans and informed them of his inability to come, they wouldn’t have waited for so long.

He is a senior star hero in Tollywood who still gives the younger heroes a run for their money. Despite getting on in age, he is still as good looking as ever.

Rumour in the industry is that the star hero is suffering from a kidney ailment and is getting treated by a specialist in Bangalore.

As of now, he is just taking medicines and there is apparently no need for any serious medication except or strict diet control.

While the authenticity of the news has to be confirmed, the hero as of now seems to be hale and hearty and going about his activities well without any inconvenience.

In the last few years, Nani has emerged as the most successful hero in Tollywood thanks to his great judgement of subjects and the variety of scripts that he has chosen to enthrall different sections of audiences. It seems that another young hero Sharwanand is going to give a tough competition to Nani by slowly emerging as a contender for the crown of top medium range hero.

After reviving his career with an entertaining thriller, ‘Run Raja Run’, Sharwanand has delivered a slew of hits like Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju, Express Raja and the latest Shatamanam Bhavati. While the earlier films created a reliable market for him among youth, Shatamanam Bhavati has taken him closer to family audiences.

Earlier, Nani was the only medium range to enjoy the adulation of youth as well as family audiences. Sharwa has now joined him after the success of SB. Both these heroes are rated minimum guarantee heroes in overseas as well.

With a success rate and acting abilities on par with Nani and relatively a bit lesser remuneration, Sharwa has become the new crazy star for filmmakers looking to make medium budget films. Despite he is flooded with offers, Sharwa is not accepting all the films coming his way and using his acute judgmental skills to select the best scripts.

This healthy competition between these two youngsters might make them extra cautious while choosing scripts. In turn, Telugu audiences can enjoy a range of good films.

Dil Raju’s Shatamanam Bhavati released as an underdog for Sankranthi this year amidst the hoopla surrounding the clash between GPSK and Khaidi No.150. Many wondered if the family entertainer could withstand the two juggernauts but surprising the entire film industry, SB not just won the Sankranthi winner crown but has also emerged as one of the highest grossers among low-medium budget films.

The Sharwanand starrer has raked in a mammoth share of around Rs 22 Cr in the Telugu states in less than two weeks.

Below is the area wise break of Share:

Nizam – 806 lacs
Ceded – 223 lacs
Nellore – 49.3 lacs
Guntur – 146 lacs
Krishna – 147 lacs
West – 165.6 lacs
East – 237.5 lacs
Uttharandhra – 408 lacs

13 days AP & TG Share – Rs 21.82cr

By raking in USD700K+ in the US, the small budget wonder took its worldwide share to around Rs 27 Cr. While Khaidi No.150 an GPSK could just break-even, SB brought huge profits to all the involved people. Taking return on investment into account, the title of Sankranthi winner can be deservingly attributed to SB.

Collecting Rs 1.7 Cr share on its 13th day is an evidence enough to predict Rs 25 Cr share in the Telugu states and Rs 30Cr+ worldwide share in its full run.

Despite being in her mid 40s, bollywood bombshell Malaika Arora Khan, who is best remembered as the ‘Kevvu Keka’ girl, continues to astonish beauty lovers with her impeccable curves.

Wearing a skimpy bikini, Malaika looks ravishingly sexy in this pic. The lady posses a droolworthy figure and she makes sure to give a sneak peak of it to her fans by posting some titillating pics every now and then.

One wonders, if natural aging phenomenon applies to her or not.

A few days ago, Telugu film lovers were surprised to see superstar Mahesh Babu at 2nd place in the list of Hyderabad Times Most Desirable Men for 2016. If that was a surprise then the Chennai Times Most Desirable Men list is nothing less than a shocker.

4 Top stars (barring Rajini & Kamal) of Tamil cinema – Ajith, Vijay, Suriya and Vikram couldn’t find a place even in the Top 25 in the Chennai Times Most Desirable Men for 2016 list. Interestingly, all these stars were ranked 2nd (Suriya), 3rd (Vijay), 4th (Ajith) & 5th (Vikram) in the same list last year.

So, naturally this year’s list of Desirable Men has come as a shocker to the fans of these stars as they command huge fan following. Ajith is especially known for his charismatic looks and he is often rated one of the most handsome actors in South. The list is prepared through public voting process.

This year, Simbu took the crown and last year’s winner Dhanush occupied the 2nd spot. Young musical sensation Anirudh ranked No.3. Cricketer Ashwin featured at No.6

After Naga Babu & Chiranjeevi, it’s the turn of Pawan Kalyan to lash out at Ram Gopal Varma. Reacting to RGV’s tweets on him, Pawan said, “This is not the platform to talk about him. But I’ll only talk about him once and for all. I’ll never ever speak about him again. He is over 50 years and recently his daughter too got married. And he says he collects porn films. He may praise me one day and he may criticize me other day. It’s not my stature to respond to his comments.”

Earlier during the Khaidi No.150 pre-release function, Naga Babu had made critical comments on RGV and his sagging filmy career.

Even Chiranjeevi had strongly responded to RGV’s comments and advised RGV to consult a psychologist.

While RGV hasn’t reacted to Chiru’s comments, he had given befitting counter to Naga Babu. Now it needs to be seen how RGV going to react to Pawan’s fresh comments. Since Pawan had dragged RGV’s family too into the issue, naturally, many are curious on how embarrassed RGV would react.

Social media is abuzz with Pawan’s personal comments on RGV and they’re reminding Pawan his earlier response when a few questioned about his marriages. Looks like, Pawan has stirred up a hornet’s nest.

At a time when everyone expected to see some reality inspired film like Dangal on Telugu screen through Venkatesh Daggubati’s latest movie, things have made quite shocking turn here.

‘Guru’ is the film that features this senior star a lead man, in the role of a boxing coach, and expected to pack a solid punch. Being remake of successful Hindi movie Sala Khaddoos by the same team, it was supposed to hit cinemas on January 26th.

If missing out January 26th is something for business reasons, news is that Venkatesh is not coming even for Sivratri season in February. While a slew of films like Nani’s Nenu Local, Surya’s Yamudu 3, Varun Tej’s Mister are trying to target this season, Venky could easily join the game provided with the fact that his brother Suresh Babu is the producer of the movie and fetching theatres isn’t a herculean task for them. But the Daggubati brothers have decided to leave both February and March, and decided to strike box office in April 2017.

Maybe we could understand that Suresh Babu left the February slot to his son Rana Daggubati’s Ghazi, but what for March is also left behind? In April there are biggies like Katamarayudu, DJ Duvvada Jagannadham, Mister and the gigantic Baahubali are set for release. So isn’t it an indication that Venky will be coming to theatres only in mid-Summer either in May or June.

One should wait for Venky and Suresh to speak out if they want to explain what’s the reason behind this three month delay of the already readied film.

It is well-known that actress Trisha, one of the popular actress down South, had been in a string of alleged relationships over the years. Unfortunately, none of them materialized into a marriage. Even, her relationship with a young entrepreneur Varun Manian, which came close to marriage, has been called off post the engagement. Reportedly, Varun’s engagement with Varsham star has been called off as he wanted her to discontinue films after getting married.

Recently, there were rumors that Mr. Varun is dating another south actress Bindu Madhavi, who’s born in Andhra Pradesh and settled down as Tamil heroine. Like many Telugu heroines, Bindu Madhavi also failed to find success in her own language but the neighboring state Tamil Nadu has embraced her after delivering a good number of successful films.

Although the actress, who made her filmy debut in Telugu and pursued her college in Chennai, was never seen as a competition to top league of actresses, she has shocked everyone by entering an alleged relationship with ex-boyfriend of a popular South Indian actress. The 30-year old slim beauty seems to be in love with Varun, describes a couple of pictures which are largely under circulation among Kollywood circles.

Apparently, the young entrepreneur is rumored to be interested in entering wedlock with that heroine who has got no projects in her kitty currently.

SS Rajamouli today revealed some details on Twitter that cleared the doubts regarding his promotion of Gautamiputra Satakarni.

After the release of the movie, the team of GPSK came in for praise from all quarters. But Rajamouli not only praised Krish on Twitter, he also conducted an interview of Krish and later, an open letter of his was published by Eenadu in which Rajamouli praised Krish and his team to the skies.

Later, another letter of Krish was published in the same newspaper in response to Rajamouli’s letter thanking Rajamouli for his support.

Seeing all this, people were a bit shocked as to why Rajamouli was going to such lengths to promote Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film.

Even Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No 150 had released on the same day and Rajamouli had welcomed the comeback of the megastar. But that was nothing compared to the kind of publicity he was giving for GPSK.

Rajamouli has a name in the industry for not belonging to any camp and being passionate only about films and maintaining good relations with everyone.

He is an actor’s director and is above petty considerations such as caste, region and religion. Now, Rajamouli himself has cleared the air on the whole episode on Twitter.

Here are his tweets, reproduced verbatim:
When i was asked to do an interview with krish i obliged because i liked GPSK and genuinely appreciated it. I was asked whether they can use the excerpts of the same interview for print media too and i agreed. But, I was surprised to see when it was published as if I have written a letter.

True the content is taken from the interview but the way it was phrased is a bit over dramatic. I asked krish and he said it is his team’s over enthusiasm. I waited for a clarification from them but it didnt come through.

My view towards the film, Krish and his team hasn’t changed. I wish the film collects even more paving way for more historicals…Just that the letters are not written by me..

From a time, there is huge discussion going around hottie Anushka Shetty’s appearance in Baahubali 2. As versatile director SS Rajamouli has shot most of the film post our Mangalore hottie’s weight-putting-on for Size Zero movie, many wondered how jittery her physique will appear in different scenes of this most hyped sequel.

Just for the sake of Anushka’s weight issue, it’s rumoured that the filming of Baahubali 2 got delayed for a time, say rumours. Whatever they maybe but Anushka’s recent appearances at some events proved that she hasn’t lost whole of fat she has put on for Size Zero and still looks little plump than the original Devasena she was supposed to be. But here comes a shocker.

As the latest poster of Baahubali 2 that features both Prabhas and Anushka, the Amarendra Baahubali and Devasena of Mahishmati, got released today, everyone is stunned with the mesmeric hot looks of the Arundathi siren. Definitely we get a doubt if Anushka really appeared such slim and curvaceous in the pictures for real.

Maybe if these pictures are clicked three years back when the shooting was started and there was no thought about releasing the film in two parts, there are chances that Anushka is such slimmer. Otherwise there is a benefit of doubt that the Mumbai based poster designers who carved out this epic poster have photoshopped her images to bring such ravishing feel into place.

Only after watching the film, one could really find out if Anushka really lost oodles of weight she has put on or the photoshop magic did job for her in the posters.
