There is one and only factor that is highly worshipped in Tollywood and that is success. And here’s one actor who has delivered not just one but three hits in a row. Raj Tarun, is the latest hat-trick hero in Tollywood. After a sensational debut with Uyyala Jampala, Raj followed it up with Cinema Choopistha Maava and the latest hit Kumari 21F.

Apart from Kumari 21F’s solid success, Raj Tarun is specially in praise for his acting skills. Now, despite his average looks and not even featuring a typical star hero physique, the 20 something actor is giving a tough competition to young actors only with his success streak and becoming a threat to his fellow actors.

After Nani scoring a blockbuster with Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and Nikhil already entering the medium range star heroes’ league, the top slot for actors of below 30 age group has been lying unoccupied. Young stars like Sundeep Kishan, Naga Shaurya are the prominent contenders for this slot, which had been grabbed by Raj Tarun at the moment.

With his paycheck reaching the 75 lakhs to 1 crore range with every hit he is scoring and big banners like Geetha Arts and 14 Reels signing him up for their films, Raj Tarun is undoubtedly leading the race among the youngsters. And if Raj goes on to give a couple of more hits, no doubt that he too will join the big league within a year.

All those rumours of new additions to Baahubali-2 are now cleared. Producer Shobu Yarlagadda in an interview confirmed himself that the movie will not have any new additions contrary to the rumours doing rounds.

The regular shooting of the film will begin on December 16th and the movie is planned towards the end of 2016. 40% complete of the movie shooting is already complete along with the first part shoot.

VFX Supervisor Srinivas Mohan who earned national level recognition for his excellent work in Rajamouli’s magnum opus film, Baahubali had now quit the sequel project. Rajamouli had brought in Kamal Kannan who worked for Eega and Magadheera in his place now.

The way Ohmkar helped his younger brother Ashwin to realize his dream of becoming a hero by making two films ‘Genius, Raju Gari Gadi’ is really heart touching. ‘Genius’ ended as a failure while ‘Raju Gari Gadi’ not only helped Ohmkar to get a nice break as director but also made Ashwin to fall in many eyes. Thanks for the support from Varahi Banner’s Sai Korrapati because ‘Raju Gari Gadi’ grew big in reach only after getting it in his hands.

Now, Sai Korrapati is one more time helping Ashwin by buying the overall rights of ‘Jatha Kalise’ movie starring Ashwin as hero and Tejaswini as heroine. The project is already under production and entry of Sai should provide wider focus and promotions in the audience. Though more details are yet to be known, there will be a gradual hype for ‘Jatha Kalise.’

Ashwin started his career as a dance contestant in Ohmkar’s ‘Aata’ show. Later, Ashwin and Ohmkar jointly stepped into films with ‘Genius’ from the production house of Dasari Kiran Kumar. Rest is pretty much known to all.

On the occasion of Mohan Babu completing 40 years of cinema journey, Dasari Narayana Rao offered a pleasant surprise by casually announcing to make one more memorable, milestone film with Mohan Babu. The relation between Mohan Babu and Dasari is more like family members and Guru-Shishya bonding. As we all know, Dasari is one person who made Bhaktha Vatsalam Naidu turn into Mohan Babu with the film ‘Swargam Narakam.’

‘When I see the children of Mohan Babu and the respect they show towards elders, I feel really very happy and thank god for blessing me with such a wonderful family. I treat Mohan Babu as elder son in my family and we will always remain united as a family. I am very happy to see Mohan Babu achieving this which I could not. I promise you all to make a film against the current trend and create history with Mohan Babu,’ a statement from Dasari is well received by the gathering.

In a long spanned career of both these legendary actor and film maker; a combination of them two can always be sensational. Let us remain positive and hope for the statement to get a practical shape.

If there is any big name or brand associated with ‘Size Zero’ to sell in the market, then it is just the value Anushka holds among Telugu audience. Apparently, there is enough of glamour spilled by other heroine Sonal Chauhan and presence of Arya as hero is of course special but Anushka alone is enough to take a strong domination over every artist and technical crew attached with this cute film.

‘Size Zero’ story is about an obese girl and the kind of pressure she undergoes just because of her fat figure. Main plot is how Anushka overcomes this pressure and falls in love with Arya. This means obviously Anushka will be in the central role and remaining artists should just support her.

‘No, there is nothing like Anushka overshadowing me or the other way. Entire film primarily revolves around Anushka and this does not stop me from very purpose of signing this project. I signed this assignment solely because of innocence in script,’ Arya replied. Not simply the physical weight burden, Anushka has even taken the ‘size Zero’ project burden into her weight. Hope, it pays off well from 27th of this month in theaters.

The movie reportedly will have good dose of mother sentiment. Bollywood babe Disha Patani will be making her Telugu debut with this film. Posani Krishna Murali and Revathi will be seen as his parents in the film.

A new teaser of Naga Chaitanya’s Swaasaga Swasaga Saagipo was released this morning as the hero’s Birthday Special. The new teaser which is more than a minute long reveals the action side in the film. The movie begins with Gautam Menon’s voice-over about the hero with introduction visuals.

The second half has Naga Chaitanya narrating how situations can force a change in happy-go-lucky guy to violent. The dialogue is impressive there and Amol Rathod’s visuals need a special mention.

Mass Maharaja Raviteja has off late lost his touch with failure project ‘Kick 2.’ Despite delivering back to back hits like ‘Balupu, Power;’ some where there was a slow and steady criticism targeted at Raviteja which got its full justification from the flop show put forward by ‘Kick 2.’ Dismissing all such past memories, director Sampat Nandi mesmerized the most energetic star in single sitting with the story line of ‘Bengal Tiger.’

True that Sampat visualized only and only Raviteja as apt hero for this subject and thankfully, there were no obstacles on their way ever since the project is initiated. In fact, Sampat also got his talent recognized all over the two Telugu speaking states with super hit ‘Racha’ and thus, ‘Bengal Tiger’ became an optimistically best combination of a mass hero and mass director.

With all positive speculations floating around ‘Bengal Tiger,’ a super hit result will clear the route both for Sampat and Raviteja to evolve as the busiest director and hero for next two to three years. In this way, ‘Bengal Tiger’ has become most prestigious project for them.
