Film media and filmy people can be rude to heroines as they easily tag them as ‘iron leg’ if they fail to succeed. Heroes are not branded as Iron leg even if they score a series of flops. Poor heroines who don’t get to play a huge role in the story or success of the film will be blamed for a failure. Right now sexy babe Rashi Khanna is in danger of being labeled as iron leg. Rashi made debut with a small film Oohalu Gusagusalade that was a decent success. Rashi was an instant hit with industry people as well as Telugu cinema audience with that film.

She turned a busy bee with raining offers but luck eluded this talented lady as all the movies that she featured in were either flops or average fare. Joru, Jil and the recent Shivam didn’t click at the box office. She is already being labeled as the flop heroine and Rashi immediately needs a hit to shut the wagging tongues. She has Bengal Tiger geared up for release in a week’s time. Rashi hopes that this film turns out to be a super hit and gets her many more offers. Although there is Tamanna as the main female lead in this film, Rashi is confident about making an impression of her own.

A high budgeted socio-political entertainer that deals with judiciary system happens to be the subject of this film.

In solidarity with the people of Chennai, Iifa Utsavam management has decided to postpone the celebrations. The tragic floods have caused large-scale loss of lives and property and left millions stranded. The IIFA leadership with all key stakeholders, the South Indian film industry and the hon’ble Chief Minister Telangana, K Chandrashekar Rao and hon’ble Governor of Telangana, ESL Narasimhan took a unanimous decision to postpone the event. Iifa Utsavam was to bring together the film industries in a celebration of South Indian Cinema in Hyderabad over this weekend.

Boyapati Srinu is the best director in churning out mass entertainers with explosive action. He is the one who revived Nandamuri Balakrishna career and also undertook the milestone 100th film for Box Office Bonanza. Meanwhile, teaming of Allu Arjun and Boyapati Srinu for tentatively titled ‘Sarainodu’ is receiving tremendous positive buzz. As reported yesterday, Ceded rights of ‘Sarainodu’ are sold for bomb of a price and this is likely to kick-start the raising scale of figures in coming days for remaining areas.

Reports say, Boyapati prepared a typical romantic-action subject filled with emotional family values which can be called a perfect mix of Bunny’s style and Boyapati’s substance. Along with the strength in subject, Boyapati and Allu Arjun are in winning form. Boyapati is fresh from the memories of blockbuster ‘Legend’ while Allu Arjun bagged accolades for mesmerizing performance as Gona Ganna Reddy in ‘Rudhramadevi’ and commercially worked out ‘S/O Sathya Murthy.’ All these positive factors are working in favor of ‘Sarainodu’ and this could be the right project to create new records at Box Office in first quarter.

Akkineni Akhil, the youngster from Akkineni family rocked whole Tollywood with his first film ‘Akhil.’ Despite the failure result, he is appreciated for most energetic dances and is foreseen as a big competitor to the top Tollywood dancers like Allu Arjun, Junior NTR and Ramcharan. Especially, the first song in ‘Akhil’ has shown the awesome flexibility in his body.

Recovering from the debacle first movie result, Akhil is here to appear before all of us with a live stage dance show at prestigious event of IIFA Utsavam to be held in Hyderabad on December 5 and 6th. On this very big stage, Akhil is going to give his first stage show under the supervision of country’s most popular choreographer Shiamak Davar. ‘Akkineni Akhil, first time on stage and I am so excited to choreograph him at IIFA Utsavam,’ as said by Shiamak. Well, we might have to wait and see for which song Akhil is going to shake the stage. Apart from Akhil, there are many more Tollywood stars to perform while Allu Sirish is going to be the host for evening.

‘Ala Ela’ bought into light the new talent of Hebah Patel who immediately enjoyed one more very big success in ‘Kumari 21 F.’ Important thing is, Hebah ran way with major credits from this Sukumar Writings film despite the presence of Raj Tharun as hero. She opted to become so bold to remain in sync with the efforts Sukku kept for penning the heroine character.

Looks like the hard work is paying off and Hebah has this time impressed Manchu camp. Initially, Manchu Vishnu and Raj Tharun new multi star film in G Nageswara Reddy direction is reported to have got Avika Gor playing heroine besides Raj Tharun. Latest news is, they have found a replacement and got in Hebah Patel dropping Avika Gor from the project.Recent success of ‘Kumari 21 F’ and the way their romantic chemistry worked might have impelled producer Anil Sunkara to pick Hebah in this remake of a super hit Punjab comedy film. Whatever the reason may be, Hebah Patel is surely delighted and looking forward for a bright future with more and more calls from top production firms.

The highly circulated gossip on Akkineni Akhil is set to take up his second assignment under the direction of Krish appears to die down with time. Now, the name heard in film circles to team up with Krish for his next is again Varun Tej. The duo has delivered a safe and highly appreciated ‘Kanche’ which actually gave a proper direction and recognition as an actor for Varun Tej.

After etching the central characterization of a World War II soldier in ‘Kanche,’ the new script on which Krish is working is reported to have the lead character as Secret Agent. However, the confusion on who is it going to take up this heroic role, whether it is Akkineni Akhil or Varun Tej sprung up in film circles. An undercover agent fighting on a mission inherently has those heroic attributes needed for a typical Telugu hero. Thrills, romance and action episodes to flow there off can make it a winner all the way. We need to wait and see, whom Krish selects for his next because working with him assures a definite success.
