Jabardast TV anchor and hot shot celebrity in cinema circles Anasuya Bharadwaj is fortunately making decent moves in film industry. At the cost of keeping her small screen career at bay, she bagged ‘Kshanam’ and ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ turned out to be glorious hits last year.

Latest we heard is Anasuya also bagged an offer to dub her voice for Indo Greek warrior queen character played by Farah Karimi in ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ which comes at a crucial story turning point.

‘Though, I take it as privilege in becoming a tiny part of such huge project like GPSK, at the same time I feel bad missing ‘Khaidi No 150.’ Yes, I was offered the job of anchoring ‘Khaidi No 150’ pre release event at Haailand Ground. Due to postponement of event from Jan 4th to 7th, I could not manage my call sheets because on same day I had Jabardast shooting.

As Naga Babu and a couple of main team members from Jabardast participated in pre release event, my presence at Jabardast shoot was mandatory. Finally, I lost the opportunity of becoming a part of ‘Khaidi No 150’ yet I wish both these films become blockbusters,’ said Anasuya.

Time again, actress cum politician Roja proved that there are no permanent friends and foes in politics and glamour industry. An open fact to all of us that, Chiranjeevi and Roja is a super hit pair on big screens. But when both of them entered into politics fighting on different agendas from two rival parties, obviously none spared the other.

There are umpteen instances when Roja criticized Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam and Congress. Here’s not the end of story because Roja interviewed Mega Star on the occasion of is Mega Comeback with 150th film ‘Khaidi No 150’ for Sakshi TV owned by YSRCP leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Needless to say, Roja works for the same party. It wasn’t shocking to see her posing besides Chiranjeevi with whole lot of smiles. Off the screen and on the screen, our artists are real artists. Meanwhile, Roja also gels well with Mega brother Naga Babu on super hit comedy show Jabardast.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Prestigious 100th film, Gautamiputra Satakarni is all set for a grand release on January 12th as Sankranthi Special. The Theatrical Trailer of the movie is amazing and is the heart of the film. Everyone is surprised about the quality of the trailer and wondered how director Krish managed it in around 80 working days.

Krish interacted with media this morning and revealed how Rajamouli gave two golden advices to him which helped the movie immensely. Rajamouli asked Krish to keep the Graphics as less as possible in the film and also asked him to get the perfect sound.

Krish also assured Nandamuri fans that the powerful content of the movie will ensure long run. He also said that Every Telugu Heart will drop Tears of joy after seeing the film and knowing about over Telugu pride. Gautamiputra Satakarni will clash with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Prestigious 150th film, Khaidi No 150 which will also release for Sankranthi.

Dream Girl Hema Malini played an important and powerful character of Gauthami Balasri in upcoming historical flick ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in his milestone 100th.  After watching Ramya Krishna’s ferocity as Rajamatha in ‘Bahubali,’ definitely writers will have their share of inspirations when dealing similar kind of characterizations.

According to film buzz, Hema Malini’s Rajamatha Gauthami Balasri is more powerful than Shivagami Devi. When director Krish approached Hema Malini requesting for an appointment to narrate the script, she hasn’t shown any sort of interest because of her poor Telugu language skills.

‘After lot many trials, finally I got her appointment. Once I began to elaborate the strength and robustness in Gauthami Balasri role, she instantly fell for it. After 45 minutes discussion, Hema Malini garu immediately signed the project and became a part of my further research. She gathered loads of information from history which helped me in screenplay,’ said Krish.

Presently Tollywood industry’s Megastar Chiranjeevi’s fans are totally fired up about the release of his Khaidi No 150 all over the world. His comeback after nine years has created huge reception among his fans.

Sources have stated that the movie will be getting the biggest ever overseas release in Telugu Cinema history. The movie’s hard drives have reached Dallas, Texas at 5:50 pm CT and its celebrations time for Mega fans have started already and the die-hard fans are very much anxious to watch the movie. Chiranjeevi’s fans in Tamilnadu are eagerly waiting for the release of their favorite star hero’s movie after a gap of nine years.

Meanwhile mega fans Chitti Mutyala, Suresh Lingineni, Bhavireddy Srinivas, Sridhar Lingineni, Prasad Nalarajala, and Suresh Vejju have opened the hard discs boxes and had posed with them proudly and has also celebrated Chiranjeevi’s comeback to movies. It is anticipated that the movie will earn huge collections for the US box office.

Nandamuri Balakrishna had jugalbandi with Hema Malini on the sets of Gautamiputra Satakarni. Balayya and Hema Malini used to do Jugalbandi of slokas since both are good at slokas.

This was divulged by none other than Shriya Saran who is paired up with Balakrishna in the historic epic.  Shriya also shared how the duo are knowledgeable. Especially, Shriya said she was floored to the talent of Hema Malini.

Shriya said she is still beautiful. “It’s great to work with accomplished and yet they’re grounded,” said Shriya adding that Hema Malini carries her grace and proves beauty is timeless.

I was 18 when doing Chenna Keshava Reddy: Shriya

Shriya said she was child when she was doing Chenna Keshava Reddy with Balakrishna. She reminisced those moments and said she was just 18 when she did the film. And it’s great to work with Balayya again.

Balakrishna Nandamuri, who is busy promoting his Sankranthi release, Gautamiputra Satakarni, has responded to the highly discussed clash of his film with megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Khaidi No.150’.

During a media meet, Balayya said that two big films competing at box office for Sankranthi festival season is very common in tollywood. ‘Khaidi No.150 is as prestigious to Chiranjeevi as GPS is for me. I wish both films succeed in entertaining audiences and bring super sankranthi to all Telugu film lovers,’ Balayya said.

This is indeed a great gesture from Balayya especially when certain sections of mega and Nandamuri fans are busy in mudslinging. Earlier, speaking at the ‘Boss is Back’ event, megastar Chiranjeevi also wished the team of GPS a huge success. The two senior actors have dignifiedly wished each other despite their landmark films were slated for box office battle and it’s time for their fans to mend ways and embrace good cinema.

Balayya further said that he would do more historic, issue based and content-rich films from here onwards in contrast to the mass movies that he had been doing.

Special shows of ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ and ‘Shatamanam Bhavati’ are held yesterday night at Rama Naidu Studios and Prasad Labs attended by family members of the respective teams and important celebrities.

 As per the information we received, Mr and Mrs Balakrishna, their family members including his daughters Brahmani, Tejaswini, son-in-laws Lokesh, Bharath along with close associate Sai Korrapati were the invitees. Obviously the response was unique. Producer Bibo Srinu arranged the show and was delighted with reactions. ‘Every person belonging to Telugu land must watch this movie and learn the greatness of Satakarni,’ they reportedly said.

In parallel, Dil Raju arranged ‘Shatamanam Bhavati’ specials how for close friends, few celebrities and his team members. Here too the talk is said to be positive with Sharwanand, Anupama Parameshwaran, Prakash Raj and Jayasudha just melted the audience hearts. This wholesome family entertainer is set for a release on 14th.

Besides the high publicized news on ruling TDP Government is posing hurdles to Chiranjeevi and his comeback flick ‘Khaidi No 150,’ here comes one more shocking incident reported from Gudivada.

As per the reports, there is an old Gagan Mahal Theater in Gudivada underwent renovation to re-open with ‘Khaidi No 150.’ However, due to Yellow politics the Joint Collector of the region is creating ruckus by denying the permission. Actually, owners of the cinema halls applied for B form permission. When the request is dropped, they re-applied for at least C form which is also opposed.

Despite five important permissions are obtained from respective departments, there is nothing happening in the favor of Gagan Mahal. Entire fiasco is seen as a malicious campaign by TDP against Chiranjeevi and ‘Khaidi No 150.’ Let us see, what happens in next couple of days.

The latest we hear is that the film has an extraordinary storyline with exciting script. Venkatesh is said to be so kicked about his role and the subject on the whole. It’s heard that Puri has prepared tight script which is going to be captivating right from its beginning to the end.

Unlike Puri’s previous films where he wrapped up quickly, Puri is taking longtime for the film on its pre-production and will also shoot for large number of days that he usually do.

Since Jana Gana Mana would be shoot on grand scale, the film to be made with Rs 45 Crore whopping budget. Besides acting, Venky is also co-producing the film along with his brother Suresh Babu.

How Mahesh Babu lose this interesting, exciting subject is the moot question in the industry circles. Well, only Mahesh Knows!

Veteran actor and filmmaker Mohan Babu has the reputation of talking straight from the heart and he doesn’t mince words even while criticizing his own children.

Last night, while speaking at the audio launch event of his elder son Manchu Vishnu’s upcoming film ‘Luckunnodu’, Mohan Babu gave a sweet warning to Vishnu.

“Vishnu.. I want to give a warning to you. Don’t think as I am saying this in public, when you did the mistake on public platform, I have to correct it on the same stage. Recently, I have seen in TV, you were saying, “generally, I don’t attend my own audio launches”. That’s a mistake.” “It’s your responsibility to attend your audio events and when other heroes invite you for their events, you have to oblige them out of respect. Don’t talk like some heroes who say they don’t like to attend audio events, that’s like blowing one’s own trumpet. We shouldn’t do that,” said the veteran actor in his bid to caution his son.

Vishnu was seen blushing and smiling while his dear daddy was smoothly ridiculing him on stage.

Dhruva’s story has come to its end. Even though the film’s collections kicked off on a dull note on December 9th, positive reviews and good word of mouth helped the movie register decent numbers in the long run, leaving the trade pundits surprised.

Dhruva’s successful overseas run was a record in Ram Charan’s career. The film is Charan’s first ever million dollar feat and it went on to gross nearly $1.5 million, with 25 screens being added in the 5th week.

Due to its genre, many thought that Dhruva would not even cross the 50 crore share mark in its full run. However, the film went on to collect nearly 56 crores from Andhra, Ceded and Nizam, bringing cheers to many.

Unfortunately, Dhruva is just 4 crores short of getting the hit status as the film’s theatrical rights are valued at 60 crores. Still, Dhruva managed to brave the demonetization effect and the initial backlash from mass movie lovers.

In its final run, Dhruva grossed 90 crores and in Nizam the movie broke even with a 15.35 crores share and earned nearly 2 crores profits for its buyers. However, the movie has made some losses for its Ceded buyers and recovered only 6.60 crores on its 9 crores investment.

In Vizag, Dhruva entered profits by collecting a share of 5.25 crores. From both the Telugu states, Dhruva has collected 40.5 crore where as it notched up 6.8 crores from Karnataka. Finally, Dhruva’s box-office​ result can be termed as ‘Above Average’.

In September last year, Kannada superstar Kicha Sudeep, popular for his villainous role in Rajamouli’s Eega, let his fans down when he announced separation from his wife of 14 years, Priya Radhakrishnana.

The couple even filed for divorce at a family court in Bangalore. According to reports being published by Kannada media houses, both Sudeep and Priya skipped their divorce hearing yesterday.

The reports say that the estranged couple has decided to patch up their differences and stay together for the sake of their teenage daughter, Sanvi. Apparently, Sudeep has been regretting the separation from his wife and daughter and he wants the marriage to work again.

There were outrageous reports that Sudeep for into a romantic going with Nitya Menen during the making of Kotigobba 2. However, Nitya lashed out at the rumours while Sudeep maintained stoic silence.

YSRCP MLA Roja has denied being part-time politician on several occasions and maintained that she’d continue to be full-time politician. However, she said she has only one exception. i.e Jabardasth TV show.

But Roja seems to have taken up new career as she turned celebrity interviewer. She interviewed Chiranjeevi for her Sakshi TV. This come as a surprise and many started wondering how much did Roja charge for doing Chiru’s interview.

Also rumour mongers suspect that Roja could have done it for free for her Boss YS Jagan as he owns the TV channel.

Although Roja had acted with Chiru in a handful of films, the duo haven’t had that rapport after they entered into politics.

In the past, Roja had teared into Chiru when he is Praja Rajyam Party. She criticized him to the core. And how come she turned the tables and now interviewing Chiru becomes talking point.
