Aiming at March 24th release date, Pawan Kalyan has wrapped the whole of “Katamarayudu” shooting in no time and kept only two songs pending. But here comes a shocker.

Actually after watching the first copy of Katamarayudu immediately after returning from his USA trip, Pawan felt that few scenes haven’t turn out as good as expected. So he wants to reshoot those scenes now and organised 2 days of shoot. To get dates of all the stars including Shruti for this shoot became a tough task now. Still, Pawan wants reshoot.

Featuring Pawan and Shruti in the leads, Katamarayuud happens to be remake of Veeram movie.

Does anybody believe this? Few students are worshipping anyone of a heroine every year on Valentines Day such that they could find a partner in 6 months and lose virginity in 1 year. Yes, it is happening.

Single students from Hindu College in Delhi are said to have undertaken a strange ceremony to lose their virginity. After conducting a poll, the hostel residents of this college have picked Loafer fame beauty Disha Patani over Nargis Fakhri, and adored a tree named ‘virgin tree’ with her sexy pictures. Later they worshipped her for an hour holding special pujas, Archana and haarathi as well.

Some people who know this happening revealed that every year first-year students of college perform this ritual on Valentines Day with a belief that they will find a partner soon and also lose their virginity. Only virgin boys are allowed to take part in this ritual, the source added.

“Every year we pick a heroine and make her or Damdami Mai and worship her. This year our seniors picked Disha Patani for us and we took part in the ritual” a student commented when a National TV channel interviewed them.

In the age where science is advancing like never before, one wonders what is this stupid belief in the name of losing virginity.

Recently news is everywhere that director Director Krish’s next film with Venkatesh got called off. It was said that there is some copyrights issue with the film and hence the Daggubati scion didn’t want to pursue it. Well, what is it anyway?

What is not known to many is that Krish got inspired from the novel “Athadu Adivini Jayinchadu” written by popular novelist Kesava Reddy in 1984. The novel deals with the story of a man who goes in search of his pregnant pig in a forest. As the whole timeline of the story is just between sunset to sunrise, the protagonist emerges with a new identity. Removing the pig element, Krish took the rest of story and crafted into his own idea with a view of buying rights for the novel anyway.

However, an award-winning documentary filmmaker named Dulam Satyanarayana has acquired the rights to the book much before. He’s planning to go to Cannes Film Festival in coming May and raise funds for the film’s production. Already he has scouted locations in Ontillu forest in Chittoor district and Dandakaranya in Adilabad for the film’s principal shooting.

Earlier when director Trivikram made “A..Aa” basing on Yeddanapudi Sulochana Rani’s “Meena” novel, he got trolled by everyone for not giving credits to the senior writer. Claiming that a technical glitch has missed out Sulochana Rani’s name, Trivikram added her name to title sequence from 3rd day of release. Keeping all these things in mind, hero Venkatesh don’t want to get into unnecessary copyright issues and plagiarism stuff, and hence asked Krish to drop off the project, says a source.

If that’s true, then Krish should have acquired copyrights well in advance.

Aamir Khan’s Dangal has not just smashed the Box Office records and bagged critical acclaim, the film’s powerful performances were equally talked about. After Aamir, the two people who were noticed were the girls who played the roles of Geeta and Babita.

Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh are the girls who played Geeta and Babita respectively. Both Sanya and Fatima’s chemistry on screen got good applause and now their off-screen appearances too getting equal appreciation.

The latest photoshoot of Sanya and Fatima for Elle magazine has been getting wow response. Keeping their natural ‘androgynous’ style, yet the duo looked quite stylish.

After stupendous success of Pink, Taapsee was riding high. She’s on the top. If she gets another good hit after Pink, it would cement her position. And she was counting on The Ghazi Attack and Running Shaadi. As both the films releasing this Friday (17.02.17), this Friday is crucial for her.

However, in what can be a double shock to Pink actress, these two films appear to have poured cold water on her hopes. While Running Shaadi received poor reviews, The Ghazi Attack got rave reviews but her role didn’t get appreciation. She couldn’t get noticed with her brief role in the Ghazi.

She has nothing much to do in The Ghazi Attack as the likes of Rana, KK Menon, Atul Kulkarni stole the show besides the film’s director Sankalp and production designer. The film’s talked about for its CG work, music and technical aspects. Taapsee is the last one in the film to get noticed, opine critics.

Though Ghazi is expected to do well given its positive word-of-mouth, Taapsee may not get much benefit out of this submarine war flick. Looks like, Pink success got wasted and now she has to wait for another big hit.

Is nagarjuna akkineni’s ‘On namo venkatesaya’ heading towards becoming the biggest disaster of the actor’s career? Probably yes, say trade reports.

After taking a shockingly low opening at box office, the devotional film never really took off. If the opening weekend numbers were dismal, the KRR directorial performed much worse in the week days.

As per trade reports, ONV collected around 7.3 Cr worldwide share in its opening week.

Below is the area wise breakup of share:

Nizam – 189 lacs
Ceded – 88 lacs
Nellore – 27.5 lacs
Guntur – 64.3 lacs
Krishna – 35.72 lacs
West – 36.5 lacs
East – 40.9 lacs
Uttharandhra – 71.5 lacs

Total 1st week AP & TG share 5.54cr

Karnataka – 115 lacs
Remaining – 60 lacs (approx)

Total 1st week WORLDWIDE share 7.29cr

From hereon, even 10 Cr share in lifetime looks too much to ask for. As 35 Cr was invested on theatrical rights, ONV could end up as a bigger disaster than nag’s earlier epic failures – Bhai and Kedi.

It’s sad to see the hard work of the ONV unit yielding no fruitful result and resulting in shocking losses to distributors.

Allu Arjun’s DJ is high on expectations bar since the launch and the pre look posters releasing each day are raising it even more.

With just a day away from the pre look release, a photo of Allu Arjun in Duvvada Jagannadham look leaked on the internet and making rounds. Have a look at him in pure brahmin avatar and it is different to watch the stylish star in an entire new attire.

Hitting on the waist and navel of a heroine through some means of fruits and flowers may be seen as a most violent form of romance by some feminists, but from ages, such romance on silver screen is being liked by the masses.

Especially when it comes to director K Raghavendra Rao’s movies, making fruits follow the principle of buoyancy on the waists of heroines and dance on their lips is a usual sight. Flowers and Fruits always adore heroines at hot spots and make all the romance in his songs. But for the film Om Namo Venkatesaya, KRR never thought of hitting Pragya Jaiswal’s navel spot with flowers or fruits. Only after the actress made the request, he did it so.

“That’s the third day of shooting with KRR sir and we’re canning a song. But actually he’s not making any flower or fruit thrown at my navel or waist, that’s why I took courage to ask him to hit my navel with them”, said Pragya Jaiswal, who feels that KRR’s navel-hit will give her a stroke a luck. Joining Pragya, even Nagarjuna Akkineni confirmed that Pragya has demanded Raghavendra Rao to hit her navel with a flower. This is what we call crazy!!

Earlier the likes of Ramya Krishna, Roja, Rambha, Nagma and many others have got hit with flowers and fruits by K Raghavendra Rao in songs; and the stardom of these heroines reached a high later. We have to see what happens to Pragya.

Pawan Kalyan is back in the town after his much hyped USA tour that boosted the spirits of his fans out there. Immediately after touching down Hyderabad, he’s busy checking the progress of the post-production works related to Katamarayudu.

Coming to the unfinished shooting part of the movie, we hear that there is a couple of days patch work to be shot, as Pawan Kalyan didn’t liked few shots. At the same time, two songs are to be canned and Pawan is as usual thinking about flying to Switzerland to finish the same. But his desire to reach the Alps will be fulfilled only if Shruti Haasan vows to join.

Actually Shruti has allotted dates to the Katamarayudu team for canning of songs, but in case if she has to travel abroad for shooting, then the travel time will also get counted in the dates allotted. In that case, there will be shorter time in hand to shoot songs. However, if Shruti could allot extra time for flying, then Pawan Kalyan will land in Switzerland to do the dance jigs.

Earlier Pawan has shot songs in the same locations with Shruti for Gabbar Singh, Samantha-Praneetha for Attarintiki Daredi, Kajal for Sardar. Seems like serene locations of Switzerland have created some long lasting impact on the numero uno star.

For all the above said previous films, Devi Sri Prasad scored music, but for first time now it will be Pawan Kalyan dancing to the tunes of Anup Rubens in the snow capped lush green locales.

Puri Jagannadh’s popularity in Bollywood circuit is nothing less to his fame in T-town. Thanks to his Telugu super hits like Pokiri that were remade in Hindi with Salman as Wanted. Also not to forget the fact that Puri directed Bollywood mega star Amitabh Bachchan in Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap. So, Puri’s connection to Hindi film industry is strong and a part of the credit goes to his guru RGV.

Now it’s learnt that Puri is in regular touch with several stars in B-town and quite often meet them. It’s learnt that Bhai Salman Khan and director Puri regularly catch up with Salman in Mumbai and talk on various things.

Recently, it came to our notice that Puri Jagannadh was asked by Salman Khan to write a story for Suraj Pancholi, son of Aditya Pancholi and Zareena Wahab.

Inside sources say that Puri’s upcoming film Rogue was shown to Salman Khan and Salman liked it immensely. Salman immediately gave nod to go ahead with the hindi remake of same with Suraj Pancholi as Salman is highly confident on the crazy theme of Rogue.

Currently, a team of writers are working on the Hindi version of Rogue and it will go onto floors soon.

Namrata Shirodkar Ghattamaneni, who is spearheading the philanthropic works of superstar Mahesh Babu and overseeing the developmental works in the adopted villages Siddhapuram, Burripalem, has taken a major step forward on Thursday (Feb 16, 2017) in making Siddhapuram a model village in Telangana.

Namrata has met Ranga Reddy district collector Raghunandan Rao today and handed over him a cheque for 30 Lakh. This is for the implementation of a new school building in Siddhapuram village of Kottur mandal in Mahabubnagar district.

Sharing the news, Namrata said, “Thank you Natco trust for this generous donation. Looking forward to a super structure designed by the renowned architect Sudhir Reddy.

My soulful thanks to all these people who are helping us make Siddhapuram a model village in Telangana.”

Vexed with the music of Devi Sri prasad, Thaman and Anup Rubens? Well, Telugu filmmakers are bringing the change for you.

For so long, one of these three aforementioned music directors have been scoring for the films of top heroes of tollywood. The prime reason for this is their ability in giving music as per the tastes of Telugu audiences. Because of the frequent collaborations, their has become repetitive and sounds routine.

Realizing this, filmmakers are now looking at top musicians from neighboring industries.
Harris jayaraj and AR rahman are already noted names here. They have scored music for some Telugu biggies as well.

Young Tamil prodigy Anirudh ravichander is the latest entrant who is gearing up for his debut with Pawan-Trivikram film. Bollywood musical trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy are roped in for Prabhas’s new film.

Makers are now looking at Top bolly music director pritam. After signing Ravi teja’s touch chesi chudu, he is reportedly in talks with bunny-vakkantham vamsi film.

With top musicians from neighboring industries showing keenness to tap the opportunities in tollywood, music lovers are in for a refreshing change.
