If the debut film ‘Mukunda’ hasn’t done anything great or boosted Varun Tej’s cinema career, definitely ‘Kanche’ has put the young hero into altogether a different league. At a time when established heroes are also distancing from experimentation on new lines, Varun has done it with tremendous ease in very early career stages with all the support from dad Naga Babu and director Krish who were key members behind the screen for ‘Kanche.’

Now that ‘Kanche’ crossed half million mark in Overseas trade, this is a good sign for Varun Tej to develop separate market outside India. ‘Kanche’ result is obviously going to reflect a positive effect on Varun’s upcoming project ‘Loafer’ in Puri Jagannath direction. Although a tentative release date for this project is yet to be declared, sources say there are decent numbers of business calls received by producer C Kalyan.

If ‘Loafer’ succeeds in winning the respect from masses and especially Mega Fans, it would be a great achievement for Varun Tej. Looks like, the young hero had a perfect sketch to exploit on Overseas and domestic trades in parallel. ‘Kanche’ and ‘Loafer’ are sure to take his image by long way.

It has been speculated that Anushka would tap her feet with Stylish Star Allu Arjun for a special song in his upcoming film ‘Sarainodu’. But the latest snippet says that no one has approached Anushka from the production team of the movie for the special song.

As his ‘Pataas’ got the first super hit of the year status, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s latest offing ‘Sher’ was thought to be recording decent numbers at the box office. The movie carried negative talk on the release day. Yet again, it was expected the movie would get respectable collections.

In spite of the positive vibes prior to the movie’s release, ‘Sher’ has reportedly ended up faring around Rs.3 crores in full run world wide. These numbers have naturally left big shocker to everyone especially Nandamuri fans.

Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna’s exclusive fans, in fact, promoted the movie aggressively with a couple of flexes, banners and hoardings installed in many centers of AP and Telangana. Eventually, all of their attempts have gone futile. ‘Sher’ has been starred by Sonal Chowhand as a female lead. Mallikarjun has directed this action and comedy entertainer.
