The one young star in Tollywood who is currently hogging all limelight and who is flooded with many offers is Raj Tharun who shot to fame with two successes in a row. And with success, he is said to have developed an attitude according to some industry insiders. Apparently, he has been throwing tantrums and showing attitude just like Nani used to behave when he delivered a hit in Eega.

Goes without saying, Nani’ attitude cost him dearly and after a spate of flops, Nani bounced back with the hit Bhale Bhale Mogadivoy. Right now, Raj Tharun too is behaving in a similar fashion says a producer who had seen both actors closely. With Ram Gopal Varma praising him and with Vamsi Sr making a film with him, Raj Tharun has taken all the praise to his head, say industry insiders.

Naga Chaitanya is getting hitched to a leading actress whom he is dating from a long time. That’s the rumour doing rounds at the moment and it is also being publicised that he will announce his marriage on his coming birthday.

Actually Chaitu was seen bonding with an actress over a coffee at a happening hang out in Film Nagar couple of days back.

Those who have seem the camaraderie between the two started imagining that there is a ‘chemistry’ going between the two that could lead to marriage. And the started publicising it. As reality strikes hard, bonding over coffee doesn’t mean dating.

Cut to movies, Chaitanya wrapped up his work on Gautham Menon’s Sahasam Swaasaga Saagipo and he will be moving to Premam remake soon under Chandu Mondeti’s direction. Shruti Haasan will be pairing with the Akkineni youngster in this Malayalam movie remake.

Actress Nanditha is slowly moving out from the shadows of director Maruthi and is now trying to get offers from other production houses.

For the whole world, James Bond is known as man of guns, gadgets and girls. His brilliance laced with casanova nature is what makes him special. But here is a punch to him from Indian Censors.

After watching the film, Censors have asked the makers to cut short the length of the kissing scenes by 50%. These days lip kisses are prohibited on Indian screens, as a cultural move.

Just a few days after the news of his health condition broke out in open, popular Hollywood Star Charlie Sheen on Tuesday revealed he is HIV positive in an exclusive interview for TODAY. The Two and a half men star said he shelled out more than $10 million to keep the illness a secret from the people who were aware of his health. Sheen also said he made the announcement to end the extortion and a smear campaign.

Sheen revealed that he was diagnosed with HIV nearly 4 years ago, but unsure about how he contracted the virus. The actor also stated that it was “impossible” that he knowingly transmitted the virus his sex partners. Charlie’s doctor said “HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS, which has no cure. But “Charlie does not have AIDS.”

Meanwhile, Charlie’s ex-girlfriend and former porn star Bree Olson, who also his live in partner in 2011 fumed in an interview that Sheen never told her about him contracting the HIV virus. ‘He never said anything to me,’ Bree Olson said. ‘I was his girlfriend.

Olson also claimed that she has been threatened by Charlie’s fans who accused her of afflicting Charlie with HIV. However, Olson revealed that she had already tested negative for HIV. If proven guilty of hiding his HIV infection from his sex partners, Charlie may face imprisonment and several law suits.

MTV has always set its mark and proved itself very different from the rest.

Kochi: Superstar Salman Khan’s blockbuster “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, which raked in over Rs.300 crore at the Indian box office, has been watched by a mere two percent of approximately 130 crore Indian population in theatres, says a cinema chain official. According to reports, a staggering 74.5 million people, across India, tuned into the TV premiere of the film last month. But in a session on increasing footfalls in theatres at the ongoing Indywood Film market, it was revealed that only three crore and 21 lakh people have so far watched Bollywood blockbuster “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” in cinemas. “It’s startling to know only two percent of India’s population has watched the film, which has collected over Rs.300 crore from Indian theatres. Even if we can increase the footfalls to five percent, it will hugely benefit the overall revenue of Indian cinema,” said P.V. Sunil, director and CEO of Carnival Cinemas.

The reason, as Sunil points out, is that 50 percent of Indian population still has no access to cinemas. “Seven screens cater to one million people in India vis-a-vis over 100 screens in US. As of today, only 15 percent of total screens in India constitute multiplexes while the rest are still single screen cinemas. Despite being the largest producer of films in the world, India still struggles to generate revenue because most people still have no access to screens,” he said. According to Devang Sampat, business head – strategy, Cinepolis India, one of the best ways to increase footfalls is to target tier-2, tier-3 and even tier-4 cities. “We were the first to open a four-screen multiplex in Patna. The response has been extremely good and its average ticket price is same as that of Mumbai’s. This means there are people with high spending capacity even in smaller cities,” he said. Sampat also pointed out that most multiplexes rely on malls, which is not a healthy trend.

“In places like Madhya Pradesh, people literally travel 50 km to watch movies. Why not we take the screens to them? Why not build multiplexes in these places? Indians don’t watch cinema for entertainment; it’s a culture for us,” he added. Technology too is a key driver in increasing footfalls, believes Sohan Roy, founder chairman and CEO of Aries Group of Companies. Roy is also the chief promoter of AriesPlex SL Cinemas, which is south India’s first double 4K projection facility here. “Take the case of ‘Baahubali’, which ran houseful for 15 weeks in our cinemas. It was screened in 4K projection and the audience loved the experience. They watched it more than once. Technology plays a pivotal in drawing audiences for the overall experience in a cinema hall,” Roy said.
