Megastar Chiranjeevi, his family members and fans are always there for social service. While Allu Arjun donated Rs 25 lakhs for Chennai flood victims, young heroes Sai Dharam Tej and Varun Tej also donated Rs 3 lakhs each.

Now, Rastra Chiranjeevi Yuvatha is planning huge blood donation camp for good reasons. They are hoping on collecting 1,11,116 blood units for mega power star Ram Charan’s birthday to fall on March 27th, 2016 and are hoping to enter Guinness Book Of World Records.

It is a known fact that, mega fans usually donate blood for Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan and other mega hero birthdays every year. But, for the next birthday of Charan, they are planning something big. As many as mega fans are participating in the giant blood donation camps to be held in various places across the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Interim, Ram Charan who is going through bad phase with back to back flops is set to work with director Surender Reddy for Telugu remake of Tamil super hit Thani Oruvan.

Ever since Bruce Lee’s disaster, writer Kona Venkat has been claiming that the film’s failure should not be accounted to him since director Sreenu Vaitla did not use the 72 scenes he penned for the film. Kona went on to state that Bruce Lee damaged his reputation as a bankable writer.

Kona’s striking statements got everyone in Tollywood talking. Apparently, some industry biggies are dismayed at Kona’s blatant public allegations. Now, this outspoken writer has his upcoming production Shankarabharanam releasing on the 4th December and Tollywood’s biggies are quite keen on Shankarabharanam’s fate at the box-office.

Kona Venkat is the Kartha, Karma and Kriya for Shankarabharanam and whatever result the film meets with will go into Kona’s account. If the film manages to hit the bulls eye at the box-office, Kona’s reputation will be in tact and if the film flops, all the guns will be aimed at Kona Venkat only and all his statements regarding Bruce Lee will be nullified.

That’s quite a challenging acid test for the star writer indeed and the final result will be out within a day.

Anjali may not be getting offers to act in the current superstar heroes films, but she is certainly riding high as the small and medium budget producers are willing to pay huge bucks to her. Anjali is the most sought after actress for mid range movies. She is clever enough to cash in on the demand by quoting a very price. After being paid a bomb for her guest appearance in Sankarabharanam, Anjali agreed to do another special role in the movie Sarada starring Manchu Vishnu. After considering various names like Amala Paul and Catherine makers of Sarada decided to go with Anjali as she would add value to the movie.

Anjali quoted 50 lakh rupees for this film and didn’t agree upon any discounts on it. All they need is ten days of her dates but Anjali demanded half a crore to sign on the dotted lines. She also made it clear that she would charge additional 5 lakh per extra call sheet. In spite of the high remuneration and all the conditions Sarada producers have signed her up. Sonarika plays the main female lead in this film directed by Karthik Reddy.

Mumbai: Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is basking in the success of his latest film “Tamasha” after delivering back-to-back flops, says it’s his responsibility to give “good films” to his fans. “It’s my responsibility that I give good films to my fans. My last few films didn’t work, but my approach towards my work has not changed. I felt bad that I had let down my fans with few flop films, but I just hope I do better and entertain them again,” Ranbir said.
Ranbir also feels as an actor one must not get typecast in showbiz.

“We as actors don’t want to get typecast in this industry. We all want to play different characters because now we have opportunities. I feel it’s a great time for us to be in this film industry,” he said. Ranbir’s latest film “Tamashaa”, which also stars Deepika Padukone, has kept the cash register ringing and has also garnered a positive response. He will next be seen in “Jagga Jasoos” and “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”.

Stylish is the word taken as a crown by hero Allu Arjun in Telugu film industry. But there is this talented chap who has just blown minds with his debut film itself. He’s none other than Kabir Duhan Singh, a Mumbai based model, who debuted with Gopichand’s Jil. Ever since Tollywood saw him as a Stylish Star in that antagonist role, it’s just raining offers for him.

Recently Kabir made his debut in Tamil with Ajith’s Vedhalam and that won him more offers. He signed couple of films in Kannada as well. Buoyed by this rousing reception, Kabri today revealed that he has almost 11 Telugu films in hand at the moment.

Balayya’s Dictator, Pawan’s Sardaar, Sunil’s Krishnashtami, Aadi’s next, Bellamkonda Srinivas’ Sundarpandian remake, Nara Rohit’s Tuntari are some of the ready-for-releasing kind of movies, while there are many other films accounting to a total of eleven for now.

Earlier some chiselled models like Sonu Sood and versatile actors like Prakash Raj enjoyed such craze in Telugu industry with a dozen films in hand at once. Welcome to the club Kabir.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun is on a mission to penetrate into the masses with his upcoming film Sarainodu directed by Boyapati Srinu. He has solid fan base among the youth and families and he is hoping to get mass following with this film. Boyapati Srinu is making this film on a grand scale with high voltage action scenes. Sarainodu reportedly has a mega action episode as the interval block. A huge fight scene is being shot on the principal cast and thousand junior artists. Ram, Lakshman are the fight masters for this action episode.

Allu Aravind is producing this film after taking a long gap since Badrinath. Sarainodu is aiming for summer release and updates like these are raising the expectations on the movie. Rakul Preeth Singh is female lead and Catherine plays a very interesting role in the film. She is playing the character of an arrogant MLA in it. SS Thaman is scoring the music.

The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) planned to foray into south with the IIFA Utsavsm to celebrate the excellence in south Indian cinema. A grand event was set to take place on the 5th and 6th December at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad and a long list of celebrities from all over the country and Telangana CM KCR and Governor Narasimhan were invited for the event.

However, the IIFA Utsavsm has now been postponed to January following the devastating floods in Chennai. With just a couple of days left for the event and most of the Tamil stars taking part in relief activities, there was no way that the event would have been held. IIFA Utsavsm organizers stated that the event has been postponed as a gesture of extending solidarity to those affected by the floods in Chennai.

The date on which the IIFA Utsavsm will be held in January has not been revealed. Being its first edition, the IIFA Utsavsm will make all its efforts to make a lasting impression with special first time stage performances by Tollywood stars like Ram Charan and Akhil, apart from performances by leading stars in all the four film industries down south.

If there is one industry that’s highly dependent on luck, It’s Film industry. There are thousand struggling artists but only a handful make it big. Sundeep Kishan and Rakul Preeth Singh debuted as protagonists through Venkatadri Express which turned out to be a super hit. Stars that debut together usually bond well off the screen too. Rakul and Sundeep have maintained a great friendship since Venkatadri times. Stars shined bright for Rakul and now she is making her way up till the top in Tollywood, While Sundeep Kishan is still waiting for a Blockbuster.

Sundeep is all prepared to do the Tamil remake of Neram and is rumored to have asked for his lucky charm Rakul to grace the movie with her presence as female lead. Rakul who is waiting with baited breath to act opposite super star Mahesh Babu is not okay to do a movie with an upcoming hero like Sudeep as it might effect her chance of bagging Mahesh movie that might happen to her anytime soon. Rukul is said to have rejected Sundeep’s proposal to act opposite him and has informed him that she right now has no time for it.

Anushka Shetty, the lady super star of Tollywood cinema, apparently has had high hopes on Size Zero so much that she did not take her remuneration for the movie. Of late, It has turned out to be a trend in the Indian film industry that the stars, especially the protagonists, don’t take a remuneration but invest their remuneration into production and take their share from the profits. In the recent times we have heard of Prabhas, Mahesh Babu and may other Kollywood and Bollywood stars gain major returns by taking shares from the movie profits.

Anushka who believed in the Size Zero script not only put on those 17 kilos of weight to give the script a touch of originality but invested her remuneration of around rupees 2 crores along with PVP. Unfortunately Anushka has had all her hopes and investment vested on a movie that did not fare well at the box office. Now all Anushkas is left with is the weight of losses and a flop movie. We guess, Size Zero not only made her regret a wasted investment but took away her remuneration too.

Tamil Superstar Suriya would be doing director Trivikram’s next movie is no longer news to anyone as it came in all the media but there is some interesting snippet that not many know. Before agreeing to Gajini star’s movie, Trivikram sought the permission of Pawan Kalyan as he is committed to do two movies with the powerstar. Pawan Kalyan who is a thickest friend to Trivikram has reportedly agreed to his friend’s request and asked him to complete Suriya’s movie with no hurry. As Pawan Kalyan is busy working for Sardar Gabbar Singh, the star told Trivikram not to wait for him.

Trivikram has commitments with Pawan Kalyan that he should direct a movie with him as hero and another movie for his production starring Ram Charan. Also Trivikram has reportedly agreed to provide script for the star’s next movie as well. Despite all these commitments, Trivikram is going ahead with Suriya’s bilingual movie from April as he wants to move beyond Telugu market.
