Mega brother Nagababu is busy these days with reality shows and serials in small screen, although he is appeared on big screens on the odd occasions. Good thing about Nagababu is he is encouraging his TV show artists by recommending them to his younger brother Power Star Pawan Kalyan.

Why would Pawan refuse the recommendations, when they are coming from his brother! In Sardaar Gabbar Singh, almost most of the popular artists from Jabardasth like Shakalaka Shankar, Sudigali Sudheer, Venu Wonders etc. will be seen essaying hilarious roles as police constables.

In fact, most of these Jabardasth artists are Pawan Kalyan fans and they are thanking Nagababu for recommending them to their favourite star. Besides Sardaar, the Jabardasth actors are doing few other films in Telugu.

Especially, Shakalaka Shankar has become popular in no time because of his superb comedy timing. Coming to Sardaar, the film is going on at brisk pace with its shoot. Directed by Bobby and co-produced by Pawan Kalyan in association with Sharrath Marar and Eros International, Sardaar is due for release on April 8th.

Dil Raju has been hunting for a hero to take up Yevado Okadu since Raviteja walked out of it due to creative differences. Raju believes Nagarjuna will be apt for the lead role. He actually wants to cast Nagarjuna because the King is having a dream run at the box office lately.

However Nagarjuna is not in a hurry to sign up movies as the solo lead. Nagarjuna is currently focused on Akhil’s career as the young hero failed to leave a mark with his debut. Nag wants to make sure that Akhil’s second film is in safe hands before he gets busy with this next film.

Although Nagarjuna has shown interest in working with Dil Raju, he is yet to give a nod to Yevado Okadu. Dil Raju is waiting for Nagarjuna’s approval and in the mean time he is releasing Oopiri starring Nagarjuna and Karthi in Nizam.

Nagarjuna’s Manam and SCN have collected more than Rs. 10 crores share in this region. So the producer is hoping Oopiri to complete the rare hattrick for Nag. Dil Raju is releasing this movie in Nizam on percentage basis.

After being a star comedian, Sunil moved on to the lead roles. Though he started on good note with films like Andala Ramudu and Maryada Ramanna, he eventually lost the steam. Of late, Sunil has been completely written off.

Especially after his duds like Mr Pellikoduku, Bhimavaram Bullodu, Sunil is going through lean phase. The situation too is no different within the industry. While his next Krishnashtami is all set for release next week, there’s no much craze. It’s an acid test for Sunil as he has to prove himself again.

In addition to this, poor promotions of the film are dampening Sunil’s chances to bounce back. Producer Dil Raju, as usual, is not spending much for the film’s publicity. Also, the delay in the film too not favouring conditions. Hope Sunil will soon overcome this and will be back with a bang.

Makers of Nani starrer Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gaadha are going with right strategies. They are not leaving any stone unturned to make the movie a big hit. They are indeed doing all possible things to overawe fans of Tollywood’s one of the biggest mass fans following star Balakrishna.

In the new teaser of KVPG, Nani is seen uttering the dialogue, “Rey, Nuv Balakrishna Vi Kadu Raa, Balakrishna Fan Vi” (You are not a Balakrishna, but Balakrishna fan). Then he salutes Balakrishna in a poster of the latter’s super hit film Legend.

Like many Hindupur locals, Nani will also be seen as a diehard fan of Balakrishna in the Hanu Raghavapudi directorial. As informed by Nani, it was not intentional, but the film has reason for him tattooing Jai Balayya on his hand and playing Balakrishna fan.

Whatever, such these sequences will surely stir Balakrishna fans. Not just Nani fans and romantic lovers in youth, Balakrishna fans are also awaiting for KVPG, that’s the enormous hype being created by the makers with innovative promotions. Meanwhile, KVPG is coming to your nearby theatres tomorrow, February 12th. So, countdown starts…

A couple of weeks ago, the Modi government announced Padma Vibhushan, the country’s second highest honour, for media baron and filmmaker Ramoji Rao for his services in the fields of journalism, education and literature.

This morning, firebrand politician from Rajahmundry and Ramoji’s staunch rival Undavalli Arun Kumar said that Ramoji Rao is not eligible for Padma honour. Stating that Ramoji has been facing several long pending cases since 1996, Undavalli questioned the AP government’s decision to recommend Ramoji Rao’s name and the central government’s intent behind choosing him for the Padma honour.

Undavalli further said that Ramoji Rao cheated the government through his Margadarshi Chit Fund company in the past and that he never wrote a book or can’t even write a 100 words-long column to be chosen for the honour for his services in journalism and literature.

Undavalli finally concluded saying he will approach the Indian President Pranab Mukherjee against Ramoji’s Padma award and even distributed the court notices and other proofs against Ramoji Rao in connection with several of his cases to the journalists.
