The prestigious 150th project of Megastar Chiranjeevi hit a roadblock after a writer claimed that the story of the Original is a rip off from his work. Federations have announced non-coperation for the project until Narasimha Rao gets justice.

“Federations will make sure I get my due (remuneration) from the makers. Besides, that they should also acknowledge my work on screen. As a creative person, I will fight for that for sure,” Narasimha Rao said.

The controversy cropped up even before Chiranjeevi’s 150th project is announced. Narasimha Rao narrated a story to Vijay who later showed disinterest. Some time later, Vijay made Kaththi with AR Murugadoss and the story is very much similar to what Narasimha Rao narrated to him.

Close on the heels of the sensational Kapu agitation which led to the burning of a train and setting fire to police stations in Tuni, the latest rumour in film nagar is that Pawan’s forthcoming film Sardaar Gabbar Singh would be having a dialogue on Kapu community.

“Nenu Kapuvanni…Kapu Kasevanni” is allegedly a dialogue of Pawan in the film. Whether Pawan really mouthed this controversial dialogue or not is a million dollar question, this dialogue is doing rounds in social media.

Apparently, Pawan had hurt a section of Kapus with his recent comments that he doesn’t represent Kapu community alone and he never claimed so. Though Pawan has been saying this from longtime, but the timing of his statement raised falk from few hardline Kapu leaders, followers. Gossipmongers now linking this to the latest rumour and speculating that Pawan would be uttering a dialogue for Kapus as damage-control move.

On other hand, people who closely associated with Pawan say that Pawan wouldn’t resort to such things – especially Pawan won’t reduce himself to a caste-based leader given that he has always positioned himself as national integrationist, true patriot.

If at all Pawan does it, definitely it’s going to trigger new controversy and may further widen the gap between castes. This also may invite ire from sections, communities other than Kapus. So, it’s better if this rumour becomes false.

It was a big hulchul since the news came out on civil court suspending D Suresh Babu from being the President of Telugu Film chamber of commerce. But there are certain facts behind this incident and they need to see the light.

Suresh is one of the biggest producers in India, a distributor, a studio owner and exhibitor too. In one word, he is the most eligible candidate for the post of president of film chamber for his potential and mastery in the mentioned departments of film making.

Well, the judgement from local civil court read that Suresh Babu cannot be continued in president post any more. But, after digging into the facts, it is clearly known that the judgement is purely based on technical and communication issues.

In the first point, It stated that the competitive commission imposed a fine of 12 lakh rupees. It’s the fine levied on film chamber, but not on Suresh Babu.

It was mentioned that the payment of common good fund is still pending. But the common good fund was already paid and they have the receipt for the same.

Now its clear, that the suspension happened only because the above documents were not produced at court on time and the same court will be lifting the suspension on Suresh babu very soon.

Suresh Babu won as Film chamber president with a great majority, in the exhibitor quota this time. Needless to mention, Suresh babu is a giant exhibitor with huge number of theatres in both the Telugu states.

Ram Charan’s next, Thani Oruvan remake which was to be launched today is postponed in the last minute. The launch event will happen on 18th February, Thursday (Ekadasi). The film will start rolling from 21st.

Sensational Tamil music directors duo Hiphop Tamizha are making their Telugu debut with this film. They have started the film’s music sittings few days ago in Bengaluru. Rakul Preet Singh is romancing Charan for the second time after Bruce Lee.

Ram Charan’s uncle, Allu Aravind and Senior Producer NV Prasad will be jointly producing the film which is being directed by Surender Reddy. NV Prasad earlier produced Charan’s Racha. Arvind Swamy will be reprising his role from the original for the film.

Those days are gone when our talented actors get to grab a role in Hollywood films. After the senior actors like Om puri, Anupam Kher, this generation actors Irrfan Khan, Mallika Sherawat, Dhanush, Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai and Pooja Kumar too have got their entry in Hollywood films.

Here is another talented actor from South, Nasser making a strong entry in Hollywood films, with movie Solar Eclipse. Nasser is playing a role of a police officer named Ashok from the times of Indian independence struggle against British.

Earlier, Nasser played a small role in Hollywood movie called ‘Fair Game’, but ‘Solar Eclipse’ is what made him more than happy.

Tollywood stars often make news for right reasons which also touch millions of their fans. Be it social causes, charity or simply fulfilling their fans’ wishes, our stars have done it all. Joining the likes of Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, NTR, Allu Arjun, Ram Charan etc now is the young Akkineni hero, Akhil.

Today, Akhil visited Khammam and met his 6-year-old fan named Ashwith Reddy, who is suffering from a kidney related disease from a long time. Apparently, Ashwith is a huge fan of Akhil and he expressed his wish to meet the young hero.

Akhil spoke with the boy’s worried parents and enquired about his health. Akhil then turned an auto driver and drove an auto and collected money from the passersby and passengers, and gave the money to Ashwith’s parents and hoped that his little fan will recover soon. Needless to say, Ashwith was thrilled to no limits to meet his favorite star.

Around a month ago, Tollywood’s most flamboyant and chilled out director Puri Jagannadh made headlines when he revamped his ‘Cave’ by removing most of his staff, including his Assistant Directors who have been working with him for years. Puri reasoned that his team members stopped listening to him due to the closeness factor.

Puri then took some time for introspection and also to find his new team. As per the latest buzz, the dashing director roped in a young hero as his assistant and he is none other than his son Akash Puri as one of his ADs.

Akash is already working on the sets of his father’s ongoing film, Rogue, and learning the tricks of the trade. It is well known that Akash made a forgettable debut with the teenage romantic drama, Andhra Pori, last year. The young hero also has an immense experience as a child actor.

Post the debacle of his debut film as a hero, Akash vowed to take a 3-year break before he again returns to the silver screen. Some of the biggest stars like Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor etc started off their careers as assistant directors, which helped them in understanding the nuances of filmmaking. No doubt that the father-son duo has taken the right decision.

Young rebel star Prabhas is busy with Baahubali 2 shooting, however he is listening to new scripts in free time. He already gave nod to work with Run Raja Run fame director Sujeeth for a high budget entertainer to be made under UV Creations Banner.

If all goes well, Prabhas would work under the same banner for a new movie with a flop director. The producers of UV Creations have asked young director Radha Krishna to prepare a subject for Prabhas.

It is also heard that, Krishna is readying a romantic story for Prabhas who is willing to come out of Baahubali image. Radha Krishna made a debacle debut as director with Gopichand starred Jil which was produced under UV Creations Banner.

The production House is giving him another chance, believing in his technical intelligence. What more, if he can ready an entertaining script, Radha Krishna will get to direct Prabhas.

As we reported earlier, Prabhas also provided his call sheets for Mythri Movie Makers. Director, Heroine and other cast and crew is yet to be finalized for the film. Seems like, Prabhas will be busy for few more years. Radha Krishna will be luckiest, if he can please Prabhas with new script!
