Good and bad, life goes on in a cyclic format for celebrities but one should not ignore that maintaining punctuality and remaining struck with time can help them on any pedestal. Our most talented comedy hero Allari Naresh forgot to by-heart this basic principle and paid price in return facing angry reaction from media.

All it happened during ‘Mama Manchu Alludu Kanchu’ movie promotions and an interview of Naresh is planned today accordingly. Receiving the information from movie PR sources, entire media gathered at the prescribed venue for more than two hours to take Naresh’s interview. Apparently, time passed away with no further intimation from Naresh which left press people to walk away finally boycotting the interview and Naresh.

Naresh used to be very conscious dealing with media during those days when his father EVV Satyanarayana showed them a way to lead a meticulously planned career. After the demise of EVV, both on professional and punctual fronts Naresh seems to have missed the fundamentals. Hope, he will not repeat the same mistake understanding a point that time is precious for everyone.

Having got promoted to the status of a grandfather, dialogue king Sai Kumar feels that Telugu industry is still due to give his share as an artist. Already, he worked with Ramcharan in ‘Yevadu’ and Sai’s villainous act oozed loads of energy into characterization. ‘I want to do films with Junior NTR and Mahesh Babu. I am also looking for many young talents to work with,’ Sai Kumar said.

However, he has one more reason to feel happy about and it’s his Kannada film ‘Rangi Taranga’ selected into final 305 films shortlisted for Oscar race. Although final eligibility for the 88th Academy Awards will come for this Kannada film only by next month but Sai is damn confident of making it to the final.

Directed by debutant Anup Bhandari, the film has got both commercial success and critical acclaims. ‘If we win the Award, I will dedicate it to my granddaughter,’ Sai Kumar said it during an interview to top newspaper. Good thing is, Sai Kumar happens to be the only one Telugu artist currently in Oscar game. So, let us wish him all the best.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s new movie ‘Dictator’ is programmed to hit the screens for coming Pongal season at any cost. At the audio launch event held yesterday, director Sriwass has also released the new theatrical trailer which sounded like a perfect commercial pot boiler. ‘Dictator’ appears to be particularly a Vytla template re-designed by Gopi Mohan and Kona Venkat within their available stories but in a new backdrop.

With ‘Dookudu’ shades clearly visible in treatment, the only difference is Balayya can spell much more lengthier and powerful dialogues than a casual looking Mahesh Babu. Well, one more difference is Kona and Gopi are separated from Vytla and they have got Sriwass as a replacement to take up direction burden while Sreedhar Seepana and Ratnam worked on writing part.

Whatever, Balakrishna as Chandrasekhar Dharma is so confident to hit the jackpot and come out as Pongal winner. They seems to have got a hit product on hand for sure.

The makers of Nikhil’s next have finalized Avika Gor, Tapsee and Catherine Tresa as the heroines of the film. But now Tapsee and Catherine Tresa dropped from the film stating financial issues.

We are said that they are in talks with Hebah Patel to play one of the heroines. The third heroine hunt is still going on. The movie is reportedly a fantasy film and will be directed by Tiger fame VI Anand.

Nikhil’s last film, Shankarabharanam is a miserable flop at the box office. This comes after three back to back successes for the actor. So he is adamant to be back in winning ways with this new project.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam is being canned in Ooty. The makers are canning an important scenes on Mahesh Babu, Kajal Aggarwal, Pranitha and other character artistes there.

Nayanthara is all set to do the first item song in her career and that too this item number is in Tamil where she enjoys super stardom. This Special Song is in Seenuramaswamy’s Dharmadurai which stars Vijay Sethupati.
