After watching Brahmotsavam today, many might have got a thought that we are left with only few heroines like Samantha, Kajal, Tamanna in star league and it is really a high time for new heroines to take over their place. Turning back a page or two, we can recall how pale and lean Samantha looked in Son of Satyamurthy and in recent 24. Kajal too lost her charm and no one can disagree with that if they watched her in Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Tamanna never really got anywhere near these two, though she had films like Baahubali and Oopiri, thanks to her overacting.

Anushka went out of shape often, though her admirers want to justify the changes as a need for films like Size zero, Rudramadevi and Baahubali. It is a fact that new heroines are not really able to reach the virtual benchmark set by these heroines and hence they were not being roped into star heroes films. Shruti Haasan and Rakul Preet have been giving some serious threats to seniors, but there is still a lot of space for new talented beauties. The ratio of heroes and successful heroines is not the same and repeated combinations are more like monotonous and deja vu.

Nitya menon is too selective and glamour roles is not what she usually prefers. Lavanya Tripathi, Raashi Khanna and Regina somehow look better with mid range heroes. After the set of heroines like Trisha, Shriya and Ileana, there are Samantha, Kajal, Tamanna and Anushka who took over without much gap. But, it is time for new faces to replace them too.

Mahesh Babu’s much awaited family saga Brahmotsavam released today amidst huge expectations. With nearly 80 crores at stake, the film received severe flak from critics and movie-goers for its TV serial like narration, and the major complaint from all quartets has been the film’s long duration.

With negative word of mouth spreading fast with each show, the makers have acted quickly and have reportedly decided to edit out at least 18 minutes from the film. The freshly trimmed version will be played from tomorrow in all the screens.

As per the inside buzz, a major chunk of scenes in the second half including a song in the first half will be chopped off to make the film even crisper. With the film already suffering from the negative feedback, we will have to wait and see if the edited version will work wonders for the film.

Megastar Chiranjeevi may go for another minor surgery to his shoulder before he begins regular shoot for the remake of “Kaththi” that is being considered as his 150th movie.

Chiru had gone through a surgery to his shoulder recently at a hospital in Mumbai. Doctors advised him to come to them for another minor surgery if he ought to perform action stunts. Hence he will be doing this in the first week of June, sources said. The film has already been launched formally last month.

Chiranjeevi will be doing two roles in this remake of Tamil super hit “Kaththi”. For this, Anushka is being considered as main heroine. On the other hand, reports suggest that the film will also have another heroine and Catherine has been approached for this.V V Vinayak is directing this movie which is penned by Parachuri Brothers.
