Darshakaratna Dasari Narayana Rao happens to be a peaceful man these days. Until a few days ago, he appeared to have targeted some of the legendary heroes and celebrities of Tollywood and has reportedly used various platforms to express his anger on them. However, he seems to be not moving anything to stay away from unnecessary controversies these days.

In the meanwhile, the YSR party’s head, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had met Dasari today and discussed with him for 40 minutes on various political issues. He has reportedly requested Dasari to join his party. However, political analysts have understood that YS Jagan met Dasari as part of caste equations. ” YS Jagan wants Dasari to take on big leaders of other political parties who belong to Dasari’s caste.

But then, Dasari’s fans do not like their favourite director to be indulged in caste based politics. They like the director to lead a happy life with full of merriment and tranuility. Will Dasari hear their pleas?

Top producer and distributor Dil Raju has recently acquired the distribution rights of Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’. And the latest we heard is that Dil Raju bought the rights of yet another Sankranthi film ‘Express Raja’ starred by Sharwanand.

Co-incidentally, both ‘Dictator’ and ‘Express Raja’ are hitting the screens on the same day on January 14. As such, Dil Raju has to compete with himself with two crazy movies of Sankranthi season.

‘Dictator’ has been directed by Sriwass of ‘Loukyam’ fame. The movie has Anjali, Sonal Chowhan and Aksha in lead actresses roles. On the other hand, Surabhi plays opposite to Sharwanand in ‘Express Raja’. This romantic and comedy entertainer was directed by Merlapaka Gandhi. UV Creations is the production house.

Nannaku Prematho Theatrical Trailer had achieved a very rare feat in Youtube. The trailer had touched the sensational One Crore views and One Lakh Likes mark which is quite any achievement.

This indicates the success of the trailer in impressing people of all the sections. On the other side, arrangements are being made to release the film on 13th as Sankranthi Special. Currently the last minute post production works are happening at brisk pace.

The movie may be placed for censor on Friday or Monday. The makers are charting a record release for the film on first day.

King Nagarjuna’s latest offering, Soggade Chinni Nayana has completed the censor formalities a short while ago. The Regional Censor Board in Hyderabad watched the special screening of the film and rated the film with U/A certificate with no cuts. With this the movie is all set for a grand release on January 15th as Sankranthi Special.

Nagarjuna for the first time is playing a dual role as father and son. The movie’s trailer and music album are impressive and rose the expectations and hype on the film. Ramya Krishna will be romancing the Senior while Lavanya Tripathi will be seen along side the Junior.

A new comer Kalyan Krishna is wielding megaphone for this project. Nagarjuna bagged a very precious hit with Manam after a long time and so he is very careful in his career going further since his retirement is nearing. And so he is taking extra care on this project.

Katrina Kaif is back with a film after a long gap and she was seen in full splendour at the trailer launch of Fitoor. Her romance with Ranbir Kapoor has had a few buzzkills, thanks to the frequent intrusions of the paparazzi. Recently,  too, they were snapped embracing in their balcony, a photo that went viral. That’s perhaps the reason why the actress says that she really identifies with her film’s tagline: Yeh ishq nahin aasaan.

“This is one of the truest lines ever. Love is not easy in real life too,” she said at the event. The media tried to get her to talk about that moment on the balcony, but Katrina evaded the question.

All she said was, “It’s always nice to be embraced.” Meanwhile, her onscreen love interest Aditya Roy Kapoor appeared supportive of his co-star and urged the media to keep the conversations limited to their chemistry as seen in the trailer.

Katrina is known to be cold with the media especially after pictures of her holiday with Ranbir in Ibiza went viral. She has also been on the receiving end of nasty break-up rumours creeping in now and again. Clearly, love seems to have weighed her down to some extent, as far as her relationship with the media is concerned.

Prince, who had made his debut with director Teja’s Neeku Naku Dash Dash few years back, has got a much needed break with Nenu Sailaja. The actor plays an important character in this Ram and Keerthi Suresh-starrer romantic drama. “I know director Kishore very well and when he narrated the character I decided to do it. My role is the key in the film,” says Prince.

The actor has been doing lead characters till date but decided to play the character due to its importance. “Yes, more than the role, I wanted to work under the Sravanthi Ravi Kishore banner which has produced many classical films. I also got to work with good technicians like cinematographer Sameer and music director Devi Sri Prasad,” says the actor. He adds that he has reached a wider audience with this film. “I am getting many calls from my friends and industry people. I am happy that I took the right decision,” he says.

“I will continue to do lead roles but if interesting roles like this one comes to me I am open for it,” he says, adding that he is getting a lot of offers. “After the film’s release I got many offers for lead roles and for other roles too. I will take a decision in a few days once I get the narrations,” he says. The actor is shooting near Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh for his upcoming film.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s highly awaited 99th film Dictator is all set for its censor scrutiny tomorrow and the film’s theatrical release will be in a grand scale on the 14th as a Sankranthi treat for fans. The film has been made with a whopping 35 plus crore budget and it is one of the most stylishly made Balayya films.

During one of the promotional interviews, Balayya revealed that Dictator is a grand film and everything about it should look huge and flamboyant. He then revealed how he lent his gold coated playing cards to the film’s director and asked him to use them in one of the scenes.

Balayya revealed that a friend had gifted him the gold cards and that he never used them at home. Apparently, his wife even wondered what would he do with the cards in the shoot. Even the film’s unit was thrilled when Balayya gave the gold cards to senior Bollywood actress Rati Agnihotri to shoot a powerful scene.

Finally, Balayya said that he thinks that deep about his films and that he attained this habit from his dad and legendary actor NT Ramarao.
