“Raj Tarun has been replaced by Sharwanand. The exact reason is not clearly known. But the makers have finally kicked off the proceedings and plan to go on the floors very soon,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS.

The film is being bankrolled by Dil Raju.Meanwhile, both Sharwanand and Raj Tarun have two more projects in their kitty.

Young hero Tanish’s father Vardhan has passed away in wee hours today (May 18th), while being treated in Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills. Vardhan who was living in Western Plaza Apartment in Manikonda has slipped down from 6th floor last night. He was immediately rushed to hospital. But, doctors couldn’t save him since his conditions was worse, when he was brought to the hospital.

Tanish and his family members are in deep trauma with Vardhan’s unexpected death. While some say, it was an accident; others opine that, it was suicide. Final rituals of Vardhan will be done today.

It is a known fact that, Tanish acted as child artist in several films and then he made his heroic debut with the film Nachavule, a decent hit. Ride co-starring Nani and Mem Vayasuku Vacham were other mediocre hits in Tanish’s career. But, the young hero spoiled his career on own by picking wrong subjects.

Akhil is pulled into news from quite sometime with rumors on his second film. The other day, Akhil himself cleared the air on rumors about his second film and said that neither Vamsi walked out not he did. Going ahead, he gave few hints on what he is doing at this moment.

Akhil is not sure whether it is the second film with Vamsi Paidipally, but they are going to work together sooner or later. And when asked if he is listening to any other scripts, Akhil did not want to give names, but admitted working out on two scripts with two young directors. This time it is not going to be an action packed earth saving kind, but a youthful story that should have a love track and a good screenplay.

Well, film buffs are throwing some wild guesses about the two directors working with Akhil and are writing names of Hanu Raghavapudi, Kishore Tirumala, Sujeeth on ‘may be’ list and definitely not Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese. Guesses and gossips apart, Akhil himself wants to clear the fog to give a detail about his second movie in a month. So, just wait for it then!

It was all glittering and colorful when we watch the teasers and trailers of Mahesh babu’s Brahmotsavam. The makers and designers were determined to make it so and they also wanted to make Mahesh look like a smart and simple young man from Vijayawada. For that, they had to spend a bomb and looks like they accomplished it.

When the director and producer are ready to spend huge on Mahesh Babu’s look, the designer brought in as many as 100 costumes for him and he appeared in all of them for Brahmotsavam. This number of costumes for Mahesh is almost four times to that of any star hero costumes used in any other film. The stylist Akshay himself revealed the care taken in changing wardrobe and rumors say that they spent a crore rupees for that alone.

It is obvious that Srikanth Addala must have etched Brahmotsavam as beautiful as he thought in his mind, when he looked so much into wardrobe changes. The release is due in two days and don’t try to count Mahesh’s costumes, but enjoy the movie!
