Well, the talk is about that Range Rover and Mercedes Benz that’s purchased by Mahesh Babu and Akhil respectively. They say that these stars have gifted themselves these luxury beasts on the occasion of Diwali. Fact however lies that these stars have just upgraded. Here is an interesting piece.

From last 8 years, Mahesh Babu is using a white Range Rover that bears the registration number 4005. Our Superstar is also having this obsession for 9 total and then he makes sure that all of his cars gets the number with same total.

After using that luxury car for years, he has now upgraded himself to Range Rover Autobiography, a limited edition beast. Same is the case with Akhil, who drives a Mercedes S Class all these days. He too got upgraded to a cute new Merc just to get all the latest features on the dashboard.

Ultimately we’ve missed the moment these stars gifted those cars for themselves for the first time, but this moment of ‘upgradation’ is also something to celebrate.

Soon after the completion of ‘Loafer’ with Varun Tej, director Puri Jagannath will jump on to new movie ‘Rogue’ introducing producer CR Manohar’s son Ishan to the big screen. This film has been in news from some time and pre production works are also reported to have begun to make sure that ‘Rogue’ will be launched immediately very early in the New Year.

Into the glamour part, Puri never allows monotony to creep into his films as he picks new faces from various portions of globe. For ‘Rogue’ too, he is using the same technique because sources say that Amyra Dastur and Angela Krislinzki are the two names under consideration. In fact, Amyra’s name is suggested even for Ramcharan’s ‘Thani Oruvan’ Telugu remake which is currently kept on hold.

On the other hand, Angela Krislinzki worked with Puri Jagannath for an item song in ‘Jyothi Lakshmi.’ Well, these are early reports and once ‘Loafer’ hits the screens, we might get more information on the cast, crew and remaining details of ‘Rogue.’

Actress Sreedevi approaching Mumbai Producers Council filing a case on ‘Puli’ producers for non-payment of her remaining remuneration has come like sensational news in Kollywood and Bollywood. In retaliation, ‘Puli’ producers requested Nadigar Sangham to mediate in the issue and solve it amicably. As per an official statement from PT Selva Kumar and Thameens, in turn Sreedevi owes them money but not the other way.

‘We paid Sreedevi whatever was signed in the agreement. We suffered losses and her presence hasn’t come to any use in Hindi version. Boney Kapoor insisted us to release the film in Hindi because of good market for Sreedevi. For this, we paid her 20 percent of Hindi satellite rights. Boney Kapoor took that money directly from Hindi buyer Manish. As the film was released in various other languages, Boney Kapoor forced us to give extra remuneration. For Telugu version dubbing, she took additional 15 Lakhs.

When there were three costume designers working on ‘Puli,’ both Sreedevi and Boney hired Manish Malhotra and we paid 50 Lakhs more for him and then additional 8 Lakhs for marketing designer of Hindi version. Despite spending so high, she did not even attend our audio launch events. Anyways, we will negotiate with Sreedevi and close the problem peacefully,’ they informed.

Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan will be seen playing a villain with a comic side in Sai Dharam Tej-starrer Telugu film “Supreme”.”He plays a villain who will also get to tickle the funny bone of the audience. It’s a role in total contrast to all the roles that he has essayed so far in his career. He has already joined the sets and started shooting too,” Anil Ravipudi, the film’s director, told IANS.

Last seen on the big screen in Telugu film “Kick 2”, Kishan will also be undergoing a special makeover for his role in the film.

Also starring Raashi Khanna, the film is being produced by Dil Raju.

Here’s a rare moment of all the Ghattamaneni ladies bonding over a luncheon to celebrate Diwali. The photograph was posted by Namrata herself and she captioned it saying, “Fun lunch with the girls and my beautiful sis in laws….celebrations”.

Bubby Telugu girl Colors Swathi recently got her new movie ‘Tripura’ graced into theaters. Directed by ‘Geethanjali’ fame Raaja Kiran, the film is unfortunately received to divided talk. But, makers are known to be sitting cool on table profits and distributors are also raking their investments safely. Thanks to the memories of ‘Geethanjali’ and youth following for Swathi resulted in decent openings.

However, from industry sources and common audience verdict, first to face the blatant criticism from this movie happened to be heroine Colors Swathi. With a loose and unshaped body, she has lost the peppiness in face. Her body language and mannerisms were so improperly designed making ‘Tripura’ as an easily forgettable movie in her career. Having lost the track, what will Colors Swathi do now? Who will provide her more offers? What is her next assignment?

There are many discussions going around film circles about Swathi’s future. Apparently, some of them were also suggesting the naughty girl to get settled in life by finding a right guy for marriage. Will Swathi accept the defeat and surrender to personal life? Let us wait and see.
