Shriya Saran and the name needs no introduction. Since her debut in 2001 with Ishtam movie, this hottie is wondering Telugu audiences how she’s able to maintain that slim hot figure despite crossing 30 years of age. More to that, how far this heroine is able to survive such a long time in industry even without any offers in hand.

Heroines like Parvathi Melton and Amala Paul haven’t succeeded despite having good looks and acting talents. After their heroine stint seems to be on a low, they have married and settled. But Shriya is not like that. She’s just the hot guest at all cine awards functions and takes stage with dancing.

It’s heard that Shriya’s real hot physique helps her carry any wardrobe, western or India, ethnic or modern, with ease. That’s making many fashion show organisers run after her. Through those shows she’s earning a bomb every month.

A report says she has more than 40 lakhs income per annum through these awards functions, fashion shows and other events. That way she’s able to survive for such a long time.

Contrary to the reports, sources close to Samantha have clarified that, the actress is very much a part of Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam. From past few days, there have been numerous speculations about Samantha’s existence in Brahmotsavam. Rakul Preet Singh was rumoured to replace Samantha in the Srikanth Addala’s directorial.

As per the sources, Samantha will join the shoot from September 20th. Brahmotsavam will have space for other two heroines to be played by Kajal Agarwal and Pranitha Subhash. Though Mahesh Babu maintained mum, his fans expressed anguish when Samantha criticized a poster of heroine Kriti Sanon following Mahesh’s footsteps in one of the posters of 1 Nenokkadine.

Samantha later interviewed Mahesh and Trivikram Srinivas as part of Memu Saitham event for Hudhud relief fund. During the program, Mahesh clarified that he already forgot about the confrontation. Interestingly, in the song ‘Jatha Kalise’ in Srimanthudu, Mahesh Babu makes his heroine Shruti Haasan’s foot touch him.

Media speculated the act as Mahesh’s retort to Samantha and this sourced to another gossip of the actress kicked out of Brahmotsavam. Mahesh Babu is professional at work, so he has no issues in casting Samantha in his film.

According to reliable sources, daughter of actor-producer Naga Babu and niece of Mega Star Chiranjeevi, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is going to be seen in a new avatar altogether. Niharika will soon be seen as a lead heroine on screen.

Niharika has been passionate about acting and wants to be heroine. In fact, she anchored TV shows (D Juniors, Gupshup) and even acted in handful of short films. Considering her interest, father-actor Naga Babu has given consent for her to take big step.

Currently, Niharika is listening to a couple of scripts and keen on signing a big film on the dotted line soon. Even Naga Babu is listening to scripts. If he gives nod for the script, the movie would go onto floors soon. Daughter of Naga Babu and sister of Varun Tej, Niharika will soon be seen in the next level.

It’s a rarity in Telugu film industry to encourage daughters of actors to take forward the acting legacy. Though in the past actresses like Supriya (from Akkineni clan), Lakshmi Manchu (daughter of Mohan Babu) tested their luck, they haven’t proved themselves as successful heroines. But going by reports, Niharika is determined to be a game changer. Let’s welcome Niharika, the new kid on the block.

Far away to the western side of India, people are enjoying the monsoon showers under coconut trees and freshly sanded beaches of Goa. Though its off season there, people are excited and high spirited to enjoy this lovely weather, says our reporter from the heaven in India. What are topics that brewing on those beaches when it comes to films?

Many north Indian film lovers are seen sporting those ‘Gadha’ locket worn by Salman Khan in the movie Bajrangi Bhaijan. At least for the sake of pictures, these people are wearing those lockets and started flaunting their shirtless bodies. Some men are seen putting up Sivudu pose, the Siva lingam lifting pose, and then making their girl friends click their pictures.

These kinds of scenes could be seen in some lovely beaches like Sinquerim and Candolim in Goa. At the same time, many girls are seen hiring Royal Enfield bikes, that cost 600 rupees per day, and pose like a Shradda Kapoor from ‘Ek Villain’ movie. Cowboy hats for men, Elizabeth style hats for women are another common phenomena, using which many people pose like cinema actors.

Lot of Telugu people are also seen catching up Srimanthudu movie at couple of multiplexes in Goa’s capital Panjim till last week, while Phantom movie is their present pick. On a whole, our reporter reveals, Goa beaches are also feeling that filmy punch rather just holidaying these days.

‘Anyway we’ll call our friend’s sister as sister only. But how could we call our sister’s friend also a sister? Let’s make her lover only’, says Chaitanya. Not exactly him, but the character in Sahasam Swaasaga Saagipo says this. What does that mean anyway? That’s new logic which could be explained quite differently. Everything made in the name of a movie always sounds god.

So, whatever Chaitu says now about flirting with girls will be cool. But the new logic is that, time and again many films have shown sisters’ friends as heroines of Telugu movies. But Chaitanya explained that phenomenon quite logically.

Treading the path of romance yet again, no doubt he has come up with a terrific romantic output yet again. Even without any girl being shown in the teaser, his romantic thoughts are overflowing. We need to appreciate Gautham Menon for that. Teaser of the film got released yesterday and it won applause from all quarters.

Sex bomb and heroine. They are two different things, and could be seen together in the same girl too. Perhaps some hotties like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are classic example of being both. But there are those who settled as sex bombs, but they never became actresses.

All this discussion has erupted with the release of the latest Telugu movie “Malini and Co”. This film has seductress Poonam Pandey in the leads. This girl is known for her twitter escapades where she slipped into the worst of her looks and posed for cameras. Always she teases her followers with semi-nude pictures and puts up some ravishing tweets. For that reason, she became a popular celebrity. Does that mean she is a good actress who will be suitable for films?

If that is the question, then NO is the answer. Malini and Co is also likely to bomb at box office like her debut Hindi flick Nasha. Content is little sensible in her Telugu debut, but Poonam is mediocre in almost all scenes and her skin show is awkward to see. She remain a sex bomb, but proving as an actress is a distant dream for now.

Stylish Star Allu Arjun is set to clash with his cousin Ram Charan. Yes, if a latest gossip vine is to be believed, Allu Arjun co-starrer Rudramadevi will take on Charan’s Bruce Lee. While Bruce Lee is slated for release on October 16th, Rudramadevi arrival is postponed to October 9th from scheduled date of September 17th due to unknown reasons.

So, two mega films are gracing theaters just in a gap of week days. If this happens, it will be first clash for mega heroes. Interim, Akhil’s debut film Akhil is also set for release during Dasara. Though Anushka Shetty and Rana Daggubati played lead roles in Rudramadevi, Allu Arjun essayed a brief role as Gona Ganna Reddy is considered to be main lead as he is the sole selling subject in the historical drama.

Distributors are risking huge sum, thanks to Allu Arjun’s presence in the film. Lately, Reliance Entertainments in association with Abhishek Pictures bought Rudramadevi Hindi rights for a massive Rs 22 crores.

Apparently, business for most of the areas has been closed. Still, Rudramadevi release is delayed yet again. On the other hand, Ram Charan along with his team is fighting hard to release Bruce Lee for Dasara at any cost, even though lot of pending work is left.

Touted to be a high octane action entertainer, the Sreenu Vaitla directorial is done with business agreement for most of the areas. The film is expected to hit 100 crores mark, as per trade analysts with the craze surrounding the project. Let’s see whether both Rudramadevi and Bruce Lee release for Dasara or one from these postpone to other date to avoid mega clash.

Mega scion Sai Dharam Tej’s latest offering Subrahmanyam for Sale is making good strides in trade. The movie’s satellite rights were picked by MAA TV for a good amount of 3.75 Crore. The recently released audio and trailers make the movie an interesting wait. The movie will be releasing on September 24th, the release date of Chiranjeevi’s blockbuster film, Tagore.

This film is important for both Sai Dharam Tej and Harish Shankar after having delivered duds (Rey for Sai Dharam Tej and Ramayya Vasthavayya for Harish Shankar) in their last outings. This is one of the first scripts penned by Harish Shankar early in his career.

Regina Cassandra is playing the female lead beside Sai Dharam Tej in this film. Rao Ramesh, Naga Babu and Kota Srinivasa Rao will be seen in important roles. Dil Raju is producing the film under his Sri Venkateswara Creations banner. Mickey J.Meyer is composing the music.
