Bollywood actor Salman Khan was acquitted of all charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case by the Bombay High Court. Whilst Bollywood celebs, Salman fans and several welcomed the court’s verdict, others are opposing. Public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat expressed shock over the verdict stating he will respond only after reading the verdict copy completely. Criminal lawyer Abha Singh responded, “With this judgment, common man’s belief over court has gone.”

After the court delivered its decision, Salman Khan is trolled on the social media and Internet giant Google has been inadvertently drawn into the discussion online because of its self-driving car project which it says will be road tested and available to the public by 2020. ‘Google can just retire its ambitious project. Salman Khan invented the driverless car 13 years ago,’ a funny post published on Twitter.

Here are other amusing tweets:

Bhai had a driverless car in 2002..in your face google!!! #SalmanVerdict #SalmanWalksFree

So, neither @BeingSalmanKhan nor his driver was driving the car.I didn’t know autopilot car exists in India #SalmanVerdict .

So, India’s driverless car was actually invented back in 2002!? Take that Google and Tesla! #SalmanVerdict #nonsense

Nobody realized India launched its first Driverless car back in 2002. #SalmanVerdict

India saw its first driverless car much before Google ever thought about it . . . . #SalmanVerdict

Senior Producer Bellamkonda Suresh’s son, Srinivas’ second movie under the direction of Bheemineni Srinivasa Rao is titled ‘Speedunnodu’. The movie is currently in the last leg of its production. The makers are planning to release the film early next year.

Srinivas despite the decent success of his first film, Alludu Seenu took a very long time to begin his second. This film is the remake of Tamil blockbuster, Sundara Pandian.

The movie has a item number by Milky Beauty Tamannah. Bheemineni’s wife Sunita is producing the film on her Good Will Cinema banner. Sri Vasanth who scored music for Sudigadu is also working for this film.

Young talent Raj Tarun is now on Cloud Nine with hat-trick hits. This actor is now making films at a very fast pace. Recently, he released the trailer of his upcoming film ‘Seetamma Andaalu-Ramayya Sitralu’ and planning it to release it by the end of January. The interesting thing is his films are titled by a hit numbers of other films.

His first film was titled ‘Uyyala Jampala’ which was a common childhood song which is very familiar. Then he named his 2nd film as ‘Cinema Choopista Maava’ which is a super hit song from Allu Arjun’s ‘Race Gurram’. Then his third film was an exception. Now his next film is titled by taking a line from the old film ‘Shuba Sankalpam’.

In this way, Raj Tarun is naming his films after super hit songs. This helps in bringing publicity for the film as it is already a familiar word and the people are used to it. Now he signed another two films which will be started soon and we have to see whether he follows the same pattern of naming song lyrics as titles or not.

Mumbai: Madhuri Dixit, who has won millions of hearts not only with her acting but also with her dancing skills, says she is scared of dancing with Prabhudeva.

Although his last movie Kick 2 was a commercial failure, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s latest entertainer Bengal Tiger opened to record collections. Despite mixed reports, the film collections were steady for first and second shows in most of the centers on day one.

Trade reports predict that, even with limited release the first day collections will be more to Kick 2, compared to the grand release of Surender Reddy’s directorial. Kick 2 reportedly collected a share of Rs 5.75 crore on its first day.

And as per sources Bengal Tiger might have crossed the 6 crores figure. The Sampath Nandi directed picture was bit weak in ‘A’ centers, but it was exceptional in mass centers. Usually, films released on Thursday will get fewer openings since it is a working day and last two shows collections are dependant of film’s talk.

Interestingly, Bengal Tiger managed to seize record collections for the last shows too. Nonetheless, Bengal Tiger’s fate will depend on how the movie will perform from Monday. And result of Varun Tej’s Loafer that is releasing next week, will also affect Bengal Tiger collections, since this Puri Jagannath directorial is also targeted at mass audiences.
