After Surya Prakash Rao and Raghavendra Rao, thankfully Kovelamudi Prakash Rao continued their family legacy by becoming a director. However, he took to a different path by remaining distant away from regular commercial cinema wherein his father KRR created a niche. Trying the hand first as romantic hero, Prakash was good at judging himself and immediately closed this option in no time to confine for those activities to be done behind the screen.

‘Anaganaga O Dheerudu’ starring Siddharth, Shruti Hasan happens to be the first main stream cinema from Prakash with fantasy and adventure backdrop done in association with Disney World Cinema. This film has shown the focused approach of Prakash towards serving a different and new age cinema to new age audience. Despite a weak commercial result, his efforts haven’t gone without recognition.

After a decent gap, Prakash is back to direction with ‘Size Zero’ hitting the screens tomorrow. Lots of promotions from producer Prasad V Potluri and presence of star names like Anushka, Arya made this film hog the limelight. It’s the good fate of Prakash as movie is also getting positive pre release buzz which should help in decent Box Office openings. Wishing all the best to Kovelamudi Prakash, let us see how his career takes a sharp turn from here on.

Mahesh Babu is the best looking hero of South Indian cinema and there will be no more cross arguments in passing this inference. His handsome looks and settled attitude are an instant connect with Fans. Off late, success bought much more glow and confidence in his face which is evidential in past couple of movies where in his charm is enhanced.

However, Mahesh Babu’s presence yesterday at his brother-in-law Sudheer Babu’s ‘Bhale Manchi Roju’ audio function has thrown the huge gathering of Fans in a panicky situation when they have seen Mahesh in a fortuitous hair do. From the days of ‘Murari’ till ‘Srimanthudu,’ there was a consistent change in Mahesh Babu’s styling of hair. As a part of professional grooming, the aspects of fashion or cosmetics and hair dressing also grew in due importance.

To everyone’s shock, there were clear doubts on whether Mahesh is using a wig or has undergone some sort of transplantation in last few months for the sake of ‘Brahmotsavam.’ The glow in his face is although in-tact, problem definitely lied with some oddness in hair dressing which distracted the common audience attention.

Akhil Akkineni’s debut venture has evenually turned out to be the biggest disaster of recent times which made buyers suffering with 80% of losses. To those distributors who have gone depressed with the ‘Akhil’s result, director of the movie Vv Vinayak turned as a ray of hope. If the report from a leading English daily is to be believed, Vv Vinayak has come forward to offer compensation to the suffered distributors. This is the first time in the history of Tollywood, a director taking such a welcoming initiative.

Vv Vinayak has reportedly called up the Kranthi pictures of Visakhapatnam and a distributor from the Krishna district, who have been distributing his films for a long time. Vizag distributor has reportedly got Rs.1 crore from the director. Also it is known that the director paid Rs.3 crores back to the producer from the remuneration he received earlier.

It is also being buzzed that hero Akhil is also returning some of the money he received as part of his remuneration. As we know, hero Nithiin has produced this prestigious project on his Shresht Movies.

Hero Sudheer Babu’s new film ‘Bhale Manchi Roju’s audio launch was held grandeur at Shilpakala Vedika last night. Prince Mahesh attended as the chief guest of the event. In the meanwhile, theatrical trailer was also launched in function.

The trailer appeared to be promising with punch liners of Sai Kumar, interesting kidnap drama, heroine’s funny anger and dialogues. Sudheer Babu looked handsome and stylish in the trailer. On the flip side, it appeared something like a routine kidnap drama. However, a better screen play with good number of hilarious and action moments might make the movie scoring a success as the trailer assured to all these elements.

Wamiqa Gabbi has paired up with Sudheer Babu in the movie. Sunny MR has provided the music of the movie. The movie was directed by Sri Ram Aditya. Vijay Kumar Reddy and Shashidhar Reddy have produced the movie.

Not only the people but also Ram Gopal Varma, himself, gauged him a ‘different man’ exhibiting a peculiar style of living and possessing a different attitude. He expressed his views on various issues in his ‘Naa Ishtam’ book as well. Eventually Rgv’s ‘different’ nature has been considered as an asset by his fans and followers.

Given the recent views and latest moves of Rgv, it is clearly understood Rgv is no more a different man but actually an ordinary man. For an instance, he slung mud on the heroes from a reputed family. Doing it so, he appeared simply like an anti fan of those heroes but not as a different man.

Likewise, Rgv expressed his views on Aamir Khan’s ‘Intolerance’ comments. Rgv was understood the supporter of the ruling BJP and hater the Congress party more than as a secularist with his aggressive comments. And lastly, Rgv, every now and then, questions the presence of the God. But then, this should be treated as an act of ‘Atheism’ being exhibited by Rgv but it doesn’t come under ‘different nature’.

Yes, Tollywood’s most happening heroine Anushka has fallen in love. Before you begin to take the literal meaning out of it, here is the actual meaning. Off late, Sweety has become the only beautiful hope for producers and directors to experiment on heroine centric subjects. Despite the presence of other Telugu and Tamil heroines trying their hand in similar genres but the success rate Anushka enjoys is really envious.

‘After accepting ‘Bahubali, Varna’ and ‘Rudhramadevi,’ at one moment I was really fed up with hectic physical strain. Soon after ‘Bahubali 1’ shooting has come to a closure; I was so eagerly waiting to do a glamorous role in a commercial mass masala film. Then does PVP and Prakash sir approached me with ‘Size Zero’ subject. I could not resist any more after very first narration because I just fell in love with it. I kept all my future plans to pick a glamorous role a side and purely undertaken ‘Size Zero.’ That’s the back story,’ Anushka shared.

Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi with story, script from his wife Kanika Dhillon and produced by PVP Cinema, the romantic entertainer with simple and sweet message is gracing into our nearby theaters on 27th of this month.

Much deliberations later, director S S Rajamouli has decided to use thirty percent of the scenes that he shot earlier for Baahubali 2 though much of the story has been changed. Rajamouli planned to shoot Baahubali 1 and Baahubali 2 at a time and release them in six months gap. As the movie’s production got delayed for long and producers feeling the heat of mounting interests on the finances taken, Rajamouli scrapped the original plan. He then stopped filming the second part midway and released the first part.

The movie went to become third biggest hit in India. Gigantic success of Baahubali made Rajamouli to plan the second part in bigger scale; hence he had a long scripting session with his father again to change the storyline a bit. There were various ideas thrown in, some suggested to scrap the earlier shot version and start filming freshly. But now the team reportedly has decided to keep the thirty percent of the movie that already filmed in Baahubali The Conclusion. Regular shoot will commence on December 14th at Ramoji Film City.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Bajirao Mastani is gearing up for December 18th release. This film is making lot of buzz in the trade as everyone is expecting it to recreate the magic of Baahubali. New promos of the film have raised expectations on the film. There are some epic war scenes in the movie that are instantly catching the attention of movie lovers and masses alike. With Bajirao Mastani’s increasing buzz on the social media, the makers have now decided to release the movie in South Indian languages too. Baahubali has done tremendously well in all the languages that it was released.

So Bajirao Mastani is also being dubbed into Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam for the sake of wider reach. Ranbir Kapoor is not a well known face down south but given its genre, the film has the potential to do well. Although the focus of this film is on the love story between Bajirao and Mastani, Bhansali made sure to have some war scenes that are made on a very large scale. Can it repeat the feat of Baahubali and turn out to be a success across the country? Maybe team Bajirao Mastani should pick some promotional tips from Baahubali team!

Upendra is one star who has no airs about himself and who does not show off his starry status. Yet, of late, he has become a little intolerant and he has openly reacted to the comments made by Aamir regarding his wife wanting to leave the country due to growing intolerance in the country. “Dear @aamir_khan, you were one of the heroes whom I admired, if there is any intolerance as a hero you need to stand-up and try resolve it” tweeted Upendra.

”But if you runaway from it then you will be known as a coward, regret to say @aamir_khan, you are no longer a hero for me n many other fans” He further added, ”Don’t worry Aamir n Shahrukh Khan, your next movie will be superhit !!! Indians will prove how tolerant they are & you very well know it !!!” Surely Aamir’s comments have made headlines and reactions have been pouring in since the time Aamir tweeted those comments.

Actress Sonal Chauhan says the issue of weight struggles has been addressed in the “most sensitive” and “beautiful manner” in forthcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual comedy “Size Zero”, which releases in cinemas on Friday. Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi and written by Kanika Dhillon, the film features Anushka Shetty in the lead role as an overweight woman. “The beauty of the film lies in the way it addresses a major issue with so much sensitivity. It presents everything in such a lighter vein that it will instantly connect with the audience,” Sonal told IANS. Describing her experience of working in the film as “fantastic”, she said: “When I first met Prakash and his wife Kanika, there was so much of positivity around them. I usually go by the vibes, and I knew deep down here’s a project that’ll definitely work.” Despite the outcome of the project, Sonal believes that everybody who worked on the film will be “really proud”.

“This is a story with a lot of heart, and made by a team of people who sincerely felt for it,” she said. The film also stars Arya and Adivi Sesh, besides cameos by a bevy of stars such as Akkineni Nagarjuna, Rana Daggubati, Simhaa, Jiiva, Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah Bhatia, Hansika Motwani and Revathy. The film, according to the “Legend” actress, also successfully breaks many stereotypes, including some preconceived notion about non-resident Indians (NRI). “Although I play a very fit, good-looking and glamorous NRI who comes to India to work on a project with an NGO, I’m portrayed in a very positive light but not as someone sans the traditional values,” she said. On working with Anushka, with whom Sonal has shared the screen space for the first time, she said: “I think Anushka deserves the success she’s got so far this year. Good things only happen to good people and I want only good things to happen to her.” Sonal said that even though Anushka is a highly successful star, she remains grounded. “This quality is what makes her instantly likable. It’s extremely tough to be humble when you’re so successful, but Anushka is an exception and that’s something I learnt from her,” she said.
