In a recent interview, popular Telugu actress Anushka has clearly hinted that she will get married anytime soon now if she finds a suitable match for herself.

‘People have been asking me a lot of questions about my marriage. I would like to clarify all of them that I am yet to find a suitable match and if I come across anyone who impresses me, I will get married immediately,’ the actress said.

Anushka was highly lauded for her performance in Size Zero and is currently working in SS Rajamouli’s second installment of Baahubali which will be hitting theatres this year. The sultry diva will be seen as queen Devasena in the drama along with Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Tamannah.

Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut intends to write a book on her struggles in her life, which includes the period before she came to the film industry as well as her stint in it. “The way I dealt with my failures has been very heavy and I would like to write a book about that, how success will never teach you anything” said Kangana at the launch of journalist Barkha Dutt’s book, “The Unquiet India” here. “So I’ve been through struggle for 10 years, and I think that’s what shaped me up as a person today. I don’t know how much a success people see me as – that is very external aspect of one’s growth – but I think I’m a very successful person on a very personal level. And when you lose something or face failure, it’s about how you deal with it and not lose your self-respect and self-worth,” she said.

“Ten years of humiliation, rejection, embarrassment could’ve made me believe what the whole world thought about me – like if they thought about me as a loser, but I didn’t think of myself as that or as what the world or my parents thought of me. That’s why I could do what I did in my life… Not just in India but all over the world, winning and success in so overrated,” she added. Kangana, who was aspiring to be a doctor before she decided to enter the film industry, says that right from schools, the system of success or ‘standing first in class’ is prominent. She also faced trauma due to her parents’ strange behavior if she didn’t stand first in class.

“We need to tell our children that it is okay to fail, there’s nothing wrong in it. Nothing lasts forever. That kind of spirit needs to be there,” she said. Kangana also feels that this kind of prominence given to success and winning, creates a feeling where a rejection is hard for people to accept. She believes that’s the reason violence against women happen, having seen her sister Rangoli suffering an acid attack.

“So rejection is so hard to deal with for anyone, especially men, there’s no acceptance for the fact that this women doesn’t want or that she doesn’t have feelings for me. Usually that is the intention and I feel that for 90 per cent of the violence against women – that kind of rejection triggers it.” Kangana also confessed about being physically abused by an industry celebrity and how she is fighting back physically and legally.

If the buzz surrounding the Tollywood’s most eagerly awaited film Sardaar Gabbar Singh turns out to be true, fans of Pawan Kalyan and Allu Arjun are in for a huge treat this summer. Over the past few days, there have been rumors that Allu Arjun’s little son Ayaan will be appearing in Pawan’s Sardaar Gabbar Singh.

Tollywood’s gossipmongers have been abuzz with the news that in a crucial scene in Sardaar, Pawan rescues Ayaan from a danger and that the scene has been shot already. And since yesterday, an amusing photograph, reportedly of the little Ayaan playing in Pawan’s lap on Sardaar’s location, is being shared enthusiastically on the world wide web by fans of both the stars.

While Ayaan’s face not seen clearly in the photograph is leading to a slight uncertainty, fans are gung ho about little Bunny’s silver screen debut with Sardaar. Allu Ayaan is already quite popular among the Mega fans as his cute photographs often make a huge splash on the internet.

Senior actor Brahmanandam has been an undisputed King of Comedy in Tollywood. The veteran actor literally carried several star heroes’ films on his shoulders. However, those glorious days are gone for the legendary comedian.

Over the past one year, none of Brahmanandam’s comic acts in numerous big budget films clicked on the silver screen. All of Brahmi’s funny antics in films like Aagadu, Jyothi Lakshmi, Bruce Lee and Akhil bored his fans and audiences have already reached a saturation point, ringing the danger bells for Brahmi.

Yesterday, Brahmi ‘s latest film Soggade Chinni Nayana released to highly positive reviews and superb collections. However, Brahmi once again failed to tickle the funny bones of his fans in the film and critics are opining that Brahmi’s scenes are the only portions which the makers should cut off to entertain the audiences even better.

With several young and senior comedians finally getting their long awaited due in Tollywood with Brahmi’s poor form, it will be interesting to see if Brahmi will change his strategy to bounce back.

Just a day after the release of Dictator, the film’s hero and Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna wrapped up all the post-release promotional formalities and left for AP CM and his Viyyankudu Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s native village Naravaripalle to celebrate Sankranthi along with his family members and grandson Devaansh.

Balayya’s visit kicked off a huge fans and media frenzy with the ongoing reports of Balayya being considered for a central cabinet post with the BJP government expanding its cabinet. When asked about the same by the media personnel, Balayya said that he is quite happy with whatever he has at the moment.

The Hindupur MLA also said that CM Chandrababu will take the final call about his cabinet position. Balayya further said that his Hindupur constituency still has several pending issues and that his immediate mission is to resolve them at the earliest.

Popular Film writer and Rajamouli’s father, Vijayendra Prasad got the prestigious Filmfare award. This is for being the story writer of Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Baiijjaan. The film is all about how a Hindu devout helps a Muslim Pakistani girl go to her native in the neighbouring country.

The film struck chord with Bollywood audience and it went on to become a blockbuster. Vijayendra Prasad was voted for this prestigious award through an online poll and the verdict of the Special Jury. He is also likely to sweep all awards in Telugu for his story of Baahubali.

Vijayendra Prasad is currently working on a sex comedy film in Bollywood. He is also directing a thriller film in Tollywood starring all new comers. This is his second directorial after Rajanna. The directorial debut is a big flop back then. So 2016 is also going to be eventful for Vijayendra Prasad.

Sukumar has made ‘Naannaku Prematho’ as the movie of intellectuals. The director has inducted principles, concepts and theorems of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, logical and lateral thinking in the movie. Altogether the movie turned a bit confusing for common audiences.

However, highly educated people have embraced the film and are backing it to the core. A letter written by one of such fans, shown above, is doing round on social media. Interestingly, the fan too wrote the letter in Sukumar’s style incorporating various concepts of Science.

‘Naannaku Prematho’ has Rakul Preet Singh in lead actress role. The movie has its music scored by Devi Sri Prasad. BVSN Prasad has produced the movie on Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra. The movie collected a share of Rs.16.21 crores share at the end of its two days in AP and Telangana.

In a never seen manner four crazy projects hit the screens this Sankranthi. Fortunately, none of the movies got disaster talk and it could be termed as a racy start for Tollywood this year. However, exact fate of the movies will be decided by next week. Let’s have a look at the current statuses of Sankranthi movies. ‘Naannaku Prematho’ was off with mixed reports. Considering the first and second day collections, the film stands next to ‘Baahubali’, ‘Srimanthudu’ and ‘Bruce Lee’. The collections are decent in India and are good at Overseas.

‘Dictator’ stands the second biggest opener among Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna’s films next to ‘Legend’. ‘Dictator’ collected Rs.5.80 crores on day one while ‘Legend’ collected around Rs.7 crores. Having been made with a shoestring budget of just Rs.7 crores, ‘Express Raja’ has reportedly recovered more than half its investments so far. The movie gets profits by the end of this weekend. As such, the movie can get the credit of the first winner of this season.

After a long gap, King Nagarjuna’s film got unanimous positive talk as a solo hero with ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’. The movie opened with packed houses, overloads and heavy returns. The movie is expected to stand as the season’s biggest blockbuster. Let’s wait for more days to know the exact status of the movie at the ticket windows. It is being heard that all the four movies have done great business on the day of Sankranthi and the momentum will be continued till Sunday.

King Nagarjunas ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ hit the theaters today and received positive reports from all corners. The movie is expected to be the clear winner of this season. Meanwhile, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s song reference was seen in one of the scenes of the movie. Some goons in the movie dance for ‘Bangaru Kodipetta’ song in a hilarious scene. There were whistles from the audiences when the rowdies were dancing for the song.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi’s reference was also seen in Sharwanand’s latest hit ‘Express Raja’. Comedian Shakalaka Shankar taps his feet on a stage for Chiranjeevi’s ‘Abbanee thiyyanee debba’ song. The actor was also seen in Chiranjeevi’s getup.

‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’ has been directed by debutant Kalyan Krishna. Ramya Krishna and Lavanya Tripathi have paired up with Nagarjuna in this family entertainer. Anup Rubens has composed the music of the movie. Nagarjuna has produced the movie on Annapurna Studios.

Dictator had registered a good day one total. The movie had amassed 5.79 Crore share only from both the Telugu states which is the second biggest total in the actor’s career after Legend. It is slightly higher than that of Lion’s first day total.

The movie is carrying not so good talk but is sustaining with fesival advantage. It is performing well in Balayya’s core strength areas. It has to be seen how it sustains in the rest of the festival season.

Here is the breakup of Dictator first day collections: 

Nizam: 1.13 Crore
Ceeded: 1.35 Crore
Uttarandhra: 54 Lakhs
East: 55 Lakhs
West: 48.5 Lakhs
Krishna: 32.20 Lakhs
Guntur: 1.06 Crore
Nellore: 35 Lakhs
