Major shooting of this movie is planned in Hyderabad suburb rural locations. To meet the release deadline, Dolly has to pack up the shooting by November or December, exactly the same time around Trivikram Srinivas movie will take off.

Veeram is a rural backdrop family, action drama. Dolly is hell bent to take up this project because Pawan Kalyan doesn’t want to waste his four months time till November when Trivikram project kicks off. Let us see, whether Dolly can make it for Pongal release or not?

When it comes to stardom in Tamil Nadu, Ajith Kumar comes only second to superstar Rajinikanth. No heroine would dare to reject if provided an opportunity to act alongside him but Malayalam actress Sai Pallavi did it.

Post the success of her Malayalam debut film ‘Premam’, Sai Pallavi garnered an unprecedented fan following. Many actresses would have signed a handful of films to utilize that craze but Sai Pallavi has a different strategy. She is choosing films carefully. It came as a shock to movie lovers when Sai Pallavi rejected the chance to romance Thala Ajith in his 57th film referred to as Thala 57.

Many opined it is the headstrong attitude of Sai Pallavi. Few say that she might have thought of not romancing a senior hero at the very beginning of her career. She even has rejected Mani Ratnam’s film chance citing exams.Sai Pallavi has signed Varun Tej’s film in Sekhar Kammula’s direction instead.

Akhil hopes to bounce back with this project.

Superstar Rajinikanth is missing from action for the last two months. He completed the dubbing of Kabali and flew to the United States where he underwent some medical procedures, according to the sources. He totally gave a miss to all the promotions of Kabali and came back to Chennai only after the movie release.

Super star Rajnikanth’s ‘Kabali’ which released last Friday, opened to mixed talk. Nonetheless, thanks to Rajni’s super stardom, it broke all the existing Day 1 records and collected over 80 crores worldwide. With this many thought that it would break ‘Baahubali’ records in no time.

But, the collections faced a huge drop from Tuesday and theatres were not getting filled. The film till now had a gross of over 172 crores in India and 90 crores abroad. After this week, the collection may reach 300 crores but it failed to reach ‘Baahubali’ records and will just reach half of its collections.

On the other hand, ‘Kabali’ producer Kalaipuli S Thanu said that they would make a sequel of ‘Kabali’ if Rajni permits. They have left the film unfinished for that purpose said the producer. We need to wait and see if this sequel goes on floors or not.
