Writer Vakkantham Vamsi who was waiting on sidelines for NTR’s nod to become director finally got his nod. The project will be launched in May the next year. However the movie will start rolling only in the second half of 2016.

NTR wants to complete the shooting of his next, Janatha Garage with Koratala Siva and release it before shifting his focus on to Vakkantham’s project.

So the project may see light towards the end of 2016 or early 2017 NTR’s brother, Kalyan Ram will be producing the film on his NTR Arts banner. Kalyan Ram who suffered a massive flop recently with Kick-2, is banking on this project to be back on success track.

Nagarjuna and Karthi’s bilingual multistarer film. Oopiri is currently being canned in Hyderabad. The makers are planning to release the movie on February 5th, the next year. Usually February is considered as dull season for film releases.

The first look posters of the film released few days ago, have garnered good response from all quarters. The movie is inspired from French film, Untouchables. The movie was extensively shot in the never before seen exotic locales of Paris, Lyon and Belgrade, Nagarjuna will be seen as a patient suffering from a deadly disease while Karthi will be his care taker.

Tamannah is the female lead. The film is having music by Gopi Sundar of Ustaad hotel. Potluri Vara Prasad is producing the film under his PVP Cinemas banner.

Unlike the strong media reports on projecting ‘Akhil’ as a powerful action entertainer in socio fantasy backdrop as suggested in the trailers, here is director VV Vinayak offering a different color for all our speculations. Yes, Vinayak neither calls this as an action flick nor a social fantasy.

‘I would say ‘Akhil’ as a good comedy movie. There are all those commercial ingredients in the film needed to launch a newcomer. As an artist, Akhil worked very hard and I foresee a future super star in him. ‘Akhil’ has a neat love story, good family drama and there is wonderful humor. It is a tough task for any artist to compete or share the screen space with Brahmanandam. But, Akhil has done it quite easily with a nice comedy timing with Brahmanandam,’ the director is all in praises for Akkineni scion.

Anyways, ‘Akhil’ is hitting the screens on 11th of this month amidst huge expectations. Good to see a tremendous positive buzz built up and openings would shatter many records because Nithin is releasing the movie in nearly 400 screens alone in Nizam territory.

Mega fans got furious over after being watched a program telecasted by a news channel which showcased a psychologically imbalanced person claiming Megastar Chiranjeevi as his dad. However, the person has done a big blunder claiming the child artist’s role was played by him in Chiranjeevi’s ‘Pasivadi Pranam’.

However, it was baby Sujitha, who played child artist’s role in ‘Pasivadi Pranam’ and everyone in the industry is aware of this fact. Sujitha after attaining youth acted many TV serials and a couple of movies. She played the role of the sister of King Nagarjuna in ‘Azaad’. It must also be mentioned that Sujitha is the sister of ‘Satyam’ movie’s director Suryakiran.

Doesn’t the channel know all the above facts? Observers say the channel has telecasted the above program intentionally to erode the image of Chiranjeevi but its attempt has turned out to be a futile exercise. On the other hand, fans are protesting that caste based yellow media should be banned. It remains to be seen what future course of action to be taken on the yellow media by the Tollywood film fraternity.

Akkineni Akhil seems to have no hypocrisy in accepting facts in spite of he belongs to highly reputed lineage of Tollywood. Last evening he participated in Q & A session quite actively on his twitter page and answered to many questions in a sensible manner.

When Akhil was quizzed ” Who is your favourite dancer” from one of his followers, Akhil was sharp and straight forward in his answer.”Chiranjeevi garu is the best. I’m waiting for his re-entry”. With this answer Akhil’s boldness and frankness have been elevated.

Akhil’s ‘Akhil’ is hitting the screens on November 11 world wide. The movie has been directed by VV Vinayak on Shresht movies owned by Nithiin. Sayesha Saigal has teamed up with Akhil in this film. The movie was made as an action, romantic, comedy and an adventurous thriller.

Bollywood’s most talked about ‘Queen’ has once again showcased the power of her curves. Slipped into lingerie and revealing outfits many times, but what stuns with Kangana Ranaut is her sexy look that never goes fading.

Featuring for the popular fashion brand Vero Moda’s latest red collection, here’s Kangana flashing that sexy toned leg in a revealing outfit. Her sharp looks, curly hair and that slope of shapely thigh are going to tease even the hardest of men in their wildest dreams. Probably after the flop show of ‘Katti Batti’ at box office, she’s trying to win back hearts with this heat. But this heat is melting everyone rather winning them.

Latest photo shoot of former heroine Simran Bagga, who paired with the icons of Tollywood including Chiranjeevi, Balayya, Nag and Venky is right now raising eyebrows. After settling comfortably with dance shows judging and character acting, this 39 year old hottie who is active in films from last 20 years, is taking a new route.

After announcing that she will be producing films along with her husband Deepak, our hot lady has come up with a new photoshoot of herself, where she posed rather sensuously. In one particular shot, her curvaceous cleavage treat is blowing minds.

But when someone wants to return to acting like a Sridevi or Raveena Tandon, these hot shoots will help big time. What for a producer needs these shoots of herself? Probably Simran’s plan is to pull focus towards her and then bring some investments into her company. Or she wants to compete with young actress with her glamour again?

It’s tough to decode Simran’s mind, but surely her photo shoot is pulling all the attention. How’s she going super hot now is something we will know in coming days.

Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Dictator’ is the highly awaited movie at the moment. The content and quality of the movie appears to be in top notch as the top rated technicians are working for this crazy project.

Meanwhile, Eros International, who is co-producing the movie, is eyeing on Balakrishna’s prestigious 100th project as well. The production house is looking forward for a local production house to join with them for making Balakrishna’s 100th film. The movie is likely to be directed by Boyapati Srinu. More details on this project are awaited.

Here is another feather in Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s cap. His followers count in face book page has crossed a milestone of 30 lakhs. Very few number of stars down South have got their places in this 30 lakhs elite club. Meanwhile, Ram Charan thanked his followers for reaching the milestone.

Soon after Ram Charan arrival from the US to Hyderabad, his new movie will be kick started. It’s going to be the remake of Tamil blockbuster film ‘Thani Oruvan’. Surender Reddy has been confirmed as the director of the movie. Mega Producer Allu Aravind and NV Prasad will bankroll the project.

Ram Charan’s latest offing ‘Bruce Lee – The Fighter’ collected a share of Rs.41 crores. Rakul Preet Singh has sizzled opposite to Ram Charan in the film. ‘Bruce Lee’ was directed by Srinu Vaitla on DVV Entertainment.

Some of the yellow media houses, of late, seem to have gone too crazy telecasting fake programs with insane people which are basically aimed at tarnishing the image of the celebrities. These media basically, have no ethics. They never check about the facts right. Their sole ambition is just to amaze the people but nothing else.

It would be a different matter if a movie is criticized by the media as it comes under democratic right to expression by the people. They can also have the liberty promoting the actors.

However, defaming a star telecasting completely absurd stories should definitely be castigated by all. Celebs and elders of Tollywood should shift their focus on these kind of programs by the media and should take stringent actions such as defamation cases and with other means.

Known to be a thinking actor, Siddharth has been out of action on the silver screen down south with a series of box-office duds for the last couple of years. With no films in hand, Sid finally decided to produce his own film to revive his career. He is now back to production with a hilarious dark comedy titled Jil Jung Juk.

Going by the teaser, Jil Jung Juk looks like a comedy of errors in a quirky gangster setup. Sidharth impresses with a stunning makeover and so do the rest of the cast. The film gets its title from Tamil comedian Vadivelu’s famous dialogue describing the three types of girls in Shankar-Prabhudeva’s Tamil version o of Premikudu.

Jil Jung Juk is directed by debutant Deeraj Vaidy and the funky background score is composed by Vishal Chandrasekhar. The film will release in December.

“When I wore sarees in Ashta Chemma, they said I look like a kid going to fancy dress competition. When I tried to look hot in Golconda High School in sarees, they said I’m looking aged. For Tripura, I’ve put on weight to look like proper newly married village belle” said Swathi Reddy recently. How did the village belle fat look went with audiences the other day?

For yesterday’s release Tripura, actress Swathi has put on more weight than ever. Though she’s supporting the act by calling it as a needful for the character, somehow she isn’t looking convincing. While her wide eyes have attracted many, her plump looks are a let down for many. Especially in those sarees, she looked more aged that she actually is. Some actresses look hot and chubby after putting on weight, but somehow that cuteness is lost on Swathi’s face.

Anyway, she’s wiling to come down in terms of weight for her next films basing on the roles. Hope her fans will get a chance to see her in a svelte look again though she never crosses boundaries for the sake of flaunting glamour.
