She started as a model and then took to acting. He started directly as a hero due to his contacts. Somehow both end up with good friendship and that blossomed into something later. They became a hot couple who will never let anyone speak about their relation. But there seems to be trouble in paradise. Earlier when this hero sounded like a happening lad, she’s just a struggling lead girl.

But now she got pushed to top and he’s still struggling to score hits. If that’s one reason for their breakup, the other one is the ego feeling that popped between them. She’s said to be moving close with many heroes who are likely to rope her in for their next projects.

That’s making our boy jealous and he’s unable to handle that pressure as he continued blasting her on phone many times. Finally after many such periodic fights, she called it quits. Anyway, the couple are maintaining that there was nothing that brewed between them, and now there’s nothing like breakup, except media cooking everything. Hmm, people have eyes!!

Putting speculations to rest, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 99th film, Dictator, is all set for release on Jan 14, 2016 on the eve of Sankranthi. Barely two months left, focus has been shifted to Balayya’s up next and much-awaited 100th film. Touted to be landmark in his 41-year-old career, Balakrishna’s 100th film has been subject of discussion.

It’s been in headlines sometime now and if the latest reports are anything to go by, Balayya’s 100th film is going to be a sequel for his classic Aditya 369. Tentatively, titled as Aditya 999, acclaimed director Singeetam Srinivasa Rao is going to helm the sequel as well.

Though it’s buzzed in the past that the successful combo of Singeetam and Balayya repeating again, however, things didn’t materialise for various reasons. It’s learnt that Balayya is now seriously contemplating to work on Aditya 999.

Starring Balayya in dual roles, the scientific fiction film also features ensemble star cast like actress Mohini, Amrish Puri, Tinnu Anand, Silk Smitha besides then child actors Tarun, Raasi.

Revolving around a time machine, the movie was a blockbuster during those times and set cash registers ringing then. Apparently it collected over Rs 9 Crore through theatrical release in 1991. After 24 years, Balayya is going to do sequel for it. Eros International is going to produce the film.

“Loafer” trailer made two things clear. Mass offering of Varun Tej and glamour treat of Disha Patani is going to be huge. Since the trailer’s release, Puri Jagan’s new girl is no doubt being chased by many Telugu makers. Apparently the stroke of glamour is a key ingredient for many commercial hits and that’s where Disha Patani got connected with everyone.

Her scorching wet treat in a rain song and glamour in other songs stood highlight alongside Varun’s massy looks. Here comes the shocker however. Some reports are coming out that this young lady got petrified with Telugu film industry and is not showing interest to work here.

Especially she’s failing to understand Telugu and feeling tough to utter dialogues. Also the 6 am to 6 pm work schedules of Tollywood are said to be heavy for her. The likes of Kajal, Tamanna and many others are from Mumbai and rocking the show here.

If Disha wants to give a thought really, she should take advise from her seniors. However some people dismissed this news about the hot model as mere rumour.

It’s no longer a secret. Nagarjuna Akkineni and Akhil share screen space in the latter’s debut which has hit the screens today ending prolonged wait. The father-son duo is seen shaking legs giving a treat to all Akkineni fans. Nagarjuna, Akhil and heroine Sayyeshaa grooved to the song ‘Akkineni Akkineni’ much to the delight of fans.

Even in his 50s, Nag matched to the steps of young pair Akhil, Sayyeshaa. Also, the film has several references to Nagarjuna and ANR whose legacy Akhil is carrying forward. There are dialogues on Nag’s Cycle Chain act in Siva which received well by crowd and even see Akhil mimicking his veteran grandfather ANR in a song.

However, contrary to rumours that producer-actor Nithiin would also be seen in the film, neither Nithiin nor Pawan was there in the film anywhere. VV Vinayak, who successfully launched several heroes in the industry, is launching Akhil as well. Stay tuned for more updates.

Energetic Hero Ram is a very disappointed man post the super failure of his recent release, Shivam. He had two releases this year – Pandaga Chesko and Shivam both failed to make a mark on the audience or the box office.

Ram is mulling serious changes for his next film, Harikatha so that he will be back to winning ways. The movie unit is already reshooting some portions of the film and is even planning to change the movie title. ‘Nenu..Shailaja’ is the new title in consideration.

Keerthi Suresh is making her Telugu debut with this movie. Kishore Tirumala, who penned dialogues for Raghuvaran Btech is turning in to a director with this film. Senior Producer and Ram’s Uncle, Sravanthi Ravi Kishore is producing the film. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the music.

Akhil Akkineni’s debut movie, Akhil had released in more than 160 locations for the Overseas premieres of the movie. The movie had collected $74,805 at 12 Midnight PST which can be considered average for Tuesday (working day) Premieres.

The movie is expected to collect $85K finally from the premieres. The collections there are expected to increase tomorrow as there is a holiday due to Veterans day. However the talk of the movie is also disappointing and weak reviews have started emerging.

We will have to see if they impact the overseas collections. Back home, the movie released in more than 800 screens in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Akhil is likely to take a superb opening, highest for a debutant, going by the advance bookings.

AbRam the cute charming son of Bollywood badshah Sah Ruhk Khan is on news for something new this time. It usually is for his cuteness and latest for his perfect pout that he was on news but of late it’s his dad’s hit jodi that he is having issues with. Wondering why a 2 year old AbRam Khan is having hard feelings for Kajol? That yet again is a story of his innocent cute love for his dad.

It seems this little adorable toddler was watching the rushes of Dilwale, A Kajol and SRK starrer and saw his dad get wounded.

As per the screenplay he too thought his dad’s wound was caused by Kajol. AbRam it seems took this to heart and turned toward Kajol and said ‘PAPA TUTH GAYA.’ meaning dad is broken and since then he isn’t liking Kajol share screen space with SRK shares his dad Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh on the other hand is in envy of his son, sources say but on in lighter spirit. In fact proving it SRK quipped that he wouldn’t be sharing anymore pictures of AbRam as he was told not to in fear of his 2 year old surpassing Badshah’s fame.

Since 2012, there are no Nandi Awards being given to Telugu cinema talents. For 2011, Sri Rama Rajyam walked away with a Swarna Nandi (Gold Nandi) being ‘Best Feature Film’ and later no film got that honours. That’s the combined effect of partition of Andhra Pradesh and newly formed governments showing least interest in Film Industry.

Awards are like energy boosters to actors who have won and others who want to win them. Not just for actors, every technician gets excited by these appreciations and honours. Post the division of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, Nandi Awards are totally stopped.

Sometime back, rumours started doing rounds that AP Government will as usual continue with Nandi Awards, while Telangana Government is all set to give new Lotus Awards.

Finally a representation from both Telugu Film Industry and Telangana Film Chamber have requested Telangana government to revive Nandis. But only if Telangana government honours with these awards, it might sound unethical.

So, what’s the mega plan to continue this Nandi tradition that started in 1964? Some say, both AP and T governments should unite and collectively give these awards. Not a bad idea, but who will first make the move with this proposal is something we have to wait and watch.

Every celebrity these days is maintaining work-life balance quite well. Like Mahesh Babu who flies abroad with his family for a vacation whenever time permits, many others taking this route now. Andala Rakshasi Lavanya Tripathi has one such beautiful holiday recently as she landed in an exotic island to kick start celebrations.

Along with couple of friends, Lavanya has reached Bali, Indonesia to celebrate her recent success of “Bhale Bhale Magadivoyi”. The gang has a gala time if we have to believe reports coming from Bali. While the actress haven’t revealed any single detail about the trip, it’s said to be quite personal one. While Lavanya has shared just one picture where she posed near the rocks, another one is doing rounds from the same tour. Along with her friend, our hottie is seen enjoying a waterfall in the night and what caught everyone’s eye is her bikini look.

Seems like the exotic islands of Bali are really fortunate to get a glimpse of our hottie’s bikini treat.
