Call it a sentiment or a special attachment to the place, Dr Mohan Babu has picked a venue where exactly grand gala celebration of 100 days function of his blockbuster movie ‘Major Chandrakanth’ was held. Mohan Babu has chosen the same venue again for the music success event of his next Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu.

Since this in in Tirupati, the home turf of Manchus, over 1 Lakh crowd is expected. Massive arrangements are being made to accommodate large crowd so that everyone would be safe.

The whole unit is heading to Temple Town Tirupati and it’s slated for Saturday, Dec 19th, a day before Balayya’s Dictator audio event in Amaravati. After a hiatus, Mohan Babu is back in the lead role for Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu [181st film for Mohan Babu as hero] and this film also happens to be 50th film for Allari Naresh.

The camaraderie between the lead protagonists is said to be the film’s USP. Talk is that writer Sreedhar Seepana, who penned dialogues for hits like Loukyam, wrote hilarious dialogues in MMAK and expectation is that he’d repeat the feat. Starring Ramya Krishna, Meena alongside Mohan Babu (Allari Mogudu combo), the movie is going to release on Dec 25th.

Class director Trivikram Srinivas has special bonding with actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Astonished with her performance in Attarintiki Daredi, Trivikram offered lead actress role to Samantha in his S/O Satyamurthy starred Allu Arjun. Then, the director signed the Dookudu lady again for his current directorial A..AA (Anasuya Ramalingam Vs Anand Vihari).

This is not the end for Trivikram and Samantha’s ‘good friendship’. It is heard that, Trivikram has promised Samantha to cast her in his next film too. Apparently, Samantha would be female lead in Trivikram’s new movie with Pawan Kalyan.

The film to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, producers of Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu, will go on sets after both Pawan and Trivikram wrapping up their respective ventures- Sardaar Gabbar Singh and A..Aa.

Trivikram also has films with Mahesh Babu and Jr NTR. Both Mahesh and Trivikram said in an interview that they will prefer Sam’s name to their film. On the other hand, hero Jr NTR also shares good rapport with the actress with whom he already worked for 3 films- Brindavanam, Ramayya Vastavayya and Rabhasa.

So, NTR may not oppose if Trivi recommends his favorite heroines for their film as well. It seems that, Trivikram may not leave Samantha for now and she would be heroine in all his future ventures!

Puri Jagan has come up with “Loafer” today and the film opened to mixed reviews. Mostly our director maintained his style of criticising women and throwing punches on God. In couple of such dialogues he made sure that the bar will not go down, but forgotten that he is hurting too much.

There is a dialogue in Loafer that goes, “Poorvakalam lo Dinosaurs vundevi. Tarvata antarinchipoyai. Ippudu kavalantey vastaya?Alage.. Kannamba, Savitiri, Me Amma.. kavalante dorakaru ippudu”. To be precise, Puri says that obedient, quiet and gracious women are tough to find these days.

However, the continuation of this dinosaurs dialogue is little provoking. “Ippati ammayilantha eppudu evaditho lechipotharo vaarikey teliyadu..” (Modern day women are unpredictable as we can’t expect who will elope with whom”. This is drawing flak from female community now. You should not have generalised that way Puri.

Young hero and son of Dialogue King Sai Kumar, Aadi, got married to the love of his life Aruna in December last year. Today, Aadi has been blessed with a baby girl. Aadi’s better-half Aruna delivered the baby at a private hospital in Hyderabad, say the reports.

Both the mother and the baby are doing fine. Aadi first met Aruna in his sister’s marriage in 2012. It was love at first sight for him and soon Aadi proposed his love to Aruna, which later culminated in a marriage which was agreed by the couple’s parents. Aruna is a software professional.

On the film’s front, Aadi is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Garam. The film’s teaser was launched by Prabhas recently and good good response. Garam will release in January.

Celebrities like Abhishek Bachchan, Radhika Apte, Farhan Akhtar as well as Riteish’s wife Genelia Deshmukh took to Twitter to wish the birthday boy.

Mumbai: Even as the makers of ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ gear up to release their films tomorrow, it is still not clear which one of them have managed to bag maximum screens. When two big films clash, box office collection also depends on the number of screens a film manages to lock in its kitty. Eros International, which released ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ this Eid, had apparently laid down a pre-condition before single screen theatres owners that if they wanted to exhibit the Salman Khan starrer, then they have to showcase ‘Bajirao Mastani’ too on its release.

This comes after the incident in 2012, when Eros was at the receiving end with Ajay Devgn starrer ‘Son of Sardaar’ losing out to ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ in terms of screen count. This time, Shah Rukh’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment is distributing ‘Dilwale’. This is the first film that they are independently releasing and hence they have to compete with veteran players in the field. PVR Pictures is also one of the distributors of the Rohit Shetty film and there is a buzz that ‘Dilwale’ will take over most screens in the multiplex’s chains across the country as compared to ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Online ticket bookings for the films also suggest a lead for ‘Dilwale’ in multiplexes.

As for advance bookings, ticket windows for both the films have opened but no one was willing to share the exact numbers as yet. When quizzed, PVR boss Ajay Bijli chose to play safe and said that both ‘Bajirao’ as well as ‘Dilwale’ are big films for them and there wouldn’t be much difference in the screen space shared between the two. “‘Bajirao Mastani’ as well as ‘Dilwale’ are big films and both have got good advance bookings. It’s unprecedented for both the films. We are expecting aggressive opening for both the films,” Kamal Gianchandani, CEO of PVR Pictures told PTI. “Advance bookings of both the movies are fabulous. We are hoping this weekend will be one of the biggest box office weekends,” Rajender Singh, VP, Programming & Distribution at Inox Leisure said. (PTI)

Priyanka Chopra’s sissy Parineeti is on a mission now! She is the latest Ramdev Baba for the film world. She goes about the town telling everyone how she lost the rings around her waist and how she got the hour-glass figure.

She is sending pics of her showing off all curves and the oodles of weight she lost. She isn’t tiring telling her flab to fab story to anyone who cares. She is dispensing gyan about eating right, sleeping tight and doing pilates and tells that’s her weightloss secret.

But, we know she spent a lot of time in spas abroad and underwent some questionable procedures to shed the kilos. But why does Parineeti forget telling us about those procedures too? She shouldn’t mislead. Hai Naa….!!

It is already known that Nagarjuna and Karthi are making a film together called ‘Oopiri’ in the direction of Vamsi Paidipally. The film’s motion poster was released on the occasion of Dasara. But till now there is no news about its release. According to reports, Nagarjuna is taking extra care about this film as he will be seen in the wheel chair for the entire film.

The audience and his fans should not feel bad and the film should also be entertaining in good measure. For that purpose Nag is checking the output of the film at every stage. The buzz is that Nag is not happy with some scenes in the film and they are planning for a re-shoot of those portions.

But the problem is the film is already in shooting process for over one year and this is not a big film like ‘Baahubali’ to sustain the interest of the viewers. So the audience may get a bad impression about this film. Hope that this film releases as soon as a possible.

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali: The Beginning is breaking all records, not just of box office. The Prabhas and Rana starrer film in heavy competition had achieved another accomplishment. Baahubali topped Google’s top 10 trending movies list for 2015, whilst it is the second most searched topic in the search engine’s search list. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 is the top most searched item.

That’s not all, Baahubali’s poster won tremendous accolades where its lead actor Prabhas was seen carrying the Shiv Ling on his shoulder. The ‘Baahubali’ poster connected with the audience at a large level and people are now eagerly waiting for its sequel- Baahubali: The Conclusion.

Usually, Bollywood films are trending topics every year. But, this year, Baahubali grabbed attention of spectators throughout the country. The socio-fantasy film was a super hit in Telugu, Tamil as well as Hindi.

After the widespread success of part1, the team is all set to get back to shoot part 2 from today at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. Prabhas, Ramya Krishna, and other main cast members are part of the ongoing schedule. Baahubali 2 is expected to see lights early in 2017.

With Telugu Film Industry is bracing up for the first-ever filmy function in the capital city of the new state of Andhra Pradesh with the audio launch of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Dictator, the die-hard fans of Balayya are planning something big in order to welcome their favourite matinee idol. Special arrangements are being made by fans to elevate the function further.

To welcome Balayya grandly fans have given a call for massive car rally. The rally is organised such that it’s going to add a lot of buzz to the audio function. The rally will start from Sattenappali Bus Stand to Amaravati where the audio will be unveiled. The mega car rally is expected to start by 3 PM on the day of audio launch.

All India NBK Fans convenors Thilak, Satish and Sridhar asked all Balayya fans to come together to make the rally successful. Directed by Sriwass, Balayya will be seen romancing Anjali, Sonal Chauhan. Touted to be Balayya’s 99th film, the action entertainer will be releasing on Jan 14 on the eve of Sankranthi.
