After his debut film Alludu Seenu, Bellamkonda Suresh was supposed to make a film with Boyapati Srinu as the director. Tamannaah had been roped in to play the female lead and they had also paid an advance to the actress.

Now, Suresh is working with Bheemaneni Srinivasa Rao and Boyapati is working with Allu Arjun. The news is that Tamannaah has agreed to do a special song in Suresh’s film.

“When Bellamkonda Suresh requested Tamannah to do a special song in his son’s film, she agreed immediately. He told her not to return the advance he had paid her for his earlier film as that would be offset against the special song,” says a source.

Forthcoming Sankrantihi is going to be a big disappointment for mega fans as no movie of any Superstar from mega family is slated for release. Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ and Stylish Star Allu Arjun’s ‘Sarainodu’ are gearing up for release in the month of April. Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s ‘Thani Oruvan’s remake is yet to be launched and it maybe released in the mid 2016.

Meanwhile, Mega Prince Varun Tej’s ‘Loafer’ is being scheduled for release in the last week of December. Mega fans wish this movie to be released for Sankranthi for better mileage of the movie availing the advantage of extra shows in festive season with flat rates of tickets in many centers.

As of now, Young Tiger NTR’s ‘Naannaku Prematho’ and Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’ have got their release dates confirmed officially for Sankranthi. It remains to be seen whether mega hero Varun Tej shows interest in competing with other Sankranthi movies or not.

The news of ace director Sreenu Vaitla’s wife Santosha Roopa filing case against him under Dowry Harassment has rocked the film industry post the dismal performance of Bruce Lee at box office. But the way an FIR was lodged in Banjara Hills police station, Roopa and Sreenu later sorting out their differences has become a talking point.

Rubbishing that there are no differences between them, both Sreenu and Roopa have headed to a holiday in China leaving their kids back home. Posing together for a selfie, Roopa has shared that she and her hubby have enjoy their stay in China and came back home today morning only to enjoy Diwali with their kids and other family members. The couple have three cute daughters.

Rajamouli is very prompt enough giving his verdict for good movies he watched. However, he made a delay watching Tamil blockbuster film ‘Thani Oruvan’. Saying regrets for the delay in watching, he heaped praises on the movie.

“Very late but saw Thani Oruvan..Aravind swami was so good. He nailed it. Heard hip hop thamizha are 2 youngsters. Great bg score. Could see that a lot of smart work went into the making of the film. Keep it up raja. It is against the formula so success must’ve been even sweeter,” tweeted Rajamouli.

As we know, Mega Power Star Ram Charan will be doing the remake of ‘Thani Oruvan’ soon. Surender Reddy has been roped in as the director of this interesting project. Mega Producer Allu Aravind and NV Prasad are likely to produce this movie. More details of cast and crew of the project will be out soon. The movie will go on sets soon.

Decent hero of Nandamuri compound, Kalyan continued sailing on two boats both as a hero and as a producer. He has given memorable hit ‘Pataas’, which is also the first super hit of this year.

However, Kalyan Ram got major setback with his production venture ‘Kick 2’ starred by Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja. On the other hand, his latest offing as a hero, ‘Sher’ bombed at the box office miserably.

At this juncture, Kalyan Ram needs to strike back as a hero. Who else to be the producer, who supports the star in bouncing back? It’s none other than star producer Dil Raju to make a crazy project with the star. If the inside buzz is to be believed, talks between Dil Raju and Kalyan Ram are going on. The movie is likely to go on floors at the earliest in 2016. Debutant Hari wields megaphone for this project. More details on this project are awaited.

‘Akhil’ premier/benefit shows are screened in many areas of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Overseas markets. Good news is there are positive reports flowing in. Though main fantasy content in the film is said to unleash only in second half with whole of first half used for commercial entertainment in the form of hero-heroine romantic track and comedy thereof with Sapthagiri, Vennela Kishore; second half and especially climax are reported to have come out extremely well.

Alone Akhil is the energetic element to drive Power of Jua forward and the cameo of Nagarjuna shaking a leg with Akhil, Sayesha Saigal in ‘Akkineni Akkineni’ song with ‘Kanne Pettaro Kannu Kottaro’ background music is one of the eye catchy moments for Akkineni Fans groups. On to Akhil advantages, his dances are said to be mind blowing and the ease with which he performed the character never seemed like a new comer. Action scenes were dust heaping, none can match the young hero’s caliber.

Well, ‘Akhil’ appears to fulfill the meaning of commercial entertainment package in typical VV Vinayak style. Let us wait for more reports.

An unseen competition like feel overtook Tollywood the other day, when both Balayya and Jr NTR have come up with their press releases in a short gap, confirming that their films are indeed targeting Sankranthi 2016 only.

Jr NTR’s Nannaku Prematho will arrive on January 8th, and Balayya’s Dictator might release on January 14th. Is that really a kind of war between these two Nandamuri heroes? While cinema critics are finding this like a tournament where the winner will eat away revenues of others, fans have something else to share.

Earlier there used to be competition between films of Chiru, Balayya, Nag and Venky. These critics felt nothing because, they all enjoyed the competition and patronised the best. Now that two heroes from same family are coming, they are portraying it like a war.

As many heroes are mushrooming from same family, it’s Nandamuri family who are first clashing and tomorrow Mega and Akkineni heroes will also clash with films from their own family. So, it’s not a war. The best one will win, and if both are best, both will get box office reception.That’s what fans say, which sounds both logical and true.

Gautam Krishna might be son of Superstar Mahesh Babu. Yet he is simple, down-to-earth. 9-year-old Gautam has shown great humanity, maturity by sharing his crackers with street kids who joined with him in celebrating Diwali.

As per onlookers, Gautam has seen few street kids looking at him while bursting crackers. Moved Gautam has given all his crackers to those kids and enjoyed watching at them. Street kids were seen rejoicing and were very happy as perhaps for the first time they have celebrated Diwali by bursting crackers.

Gautam is mostly like his father and has a heart of gold. Whenever his friends or neighbours are in need, he would be the first one to lend helping hand. With his latest act of giving all his crackers to strangers, Gautam yet again proved that he is true heir apparent to Srimanthudu father. Like father, like son.
