Mahesh-Babu-and-Namrata

With back-to-back films, Superstar Mahesh Babu is busiest star whose dairy is chock-a-block. The Srimanthudu star hardly finds time to go out and shop for himself, his darling wife and doting kids. And if you wonder who shops for him and kids, it’s none other than Namrata Shirodkar.

Divulging it, Mahesh’s better half and former Femina Miss India, actress Namrata shared, “Mahesh doesn’t have time to shop for me. Even it’s not fair for me to expect him to shop for me. In fact, I only shop for him. I love Dubai, America to shop. But I haven’t been to America in a while.”

Talking about superstar husband Mahesh, she adds, “Mahesh loves spending time with family. Whenever he gets free time, he likes to have fun with Gautam, Sitara. He loves traveling and likes to give us surprises by planning holiday trips without my knowledge.”

Ask her whether she has any plans to pair up with Mahesh on screen? Pat comes reply. “No, not at all. Sorry to dishearten my fans, I can’t make a comeback in near sight. At the moment, I’m happy shaping up my family,” she said. Namrata said she prefers comfort over style in fashion and she said she eats whatever she loves to eat but does workouts to keep herself fit, balanced.

Nani’s Heroine Gets Biggest 3rd Chance

nani

Hero Nani is lucky enough always to get paired with some sensible heroines. From Swathi to Lavanya Tripathi, always his lead girls have enough talents to boast about. Among all his co-stars, Nani would have to agreed that Vani Kapoor of “Aaha Kalyanam” is the most glamorous heroine and she shared a 1-minute long lip lock with our too. Probably there is Samantha too, but Vani is more glamorous when compared.

Luck was never on the side of this hot lady, since her debut in Bollywood and Tollywood. She acted only in two films, Shuddh Desi Romance and Aaha Kalyanam, till date, and is sitting idle from last 2 years. “I’ve always thought offers would rain on me after these two films, but nothing big has happened. Those that came my way are not interesting too“, Vani admits.

While Nani is the first hero of Yash Raj Film’s Telugu debut production, Vani debuted in Yash Raj banner only. That’s another connect between these two.

Latest update is that Vani Kapoor got her biggest 3rd chance, yet again from YRF only, and this time it’s too special. After 7 years, Aditya Chopra is returning to direction with “Befikre” and he picked up Vani as his lead girl.  Being Aditya Chopra’s heroine, where he’s the director, is seriously a big thing. Hope Vani too shines like a Nani.

 

Censor Talk: Length Is Bruce Lee’s Weapon

As we reported earlier, October 16th release “Bruce Lee” finished its Censor formalities today after a special show is screened for the Board members today noon. So, what’s the result?

Reports have arrived that “Bruce Lee” is being awarded an U/A certificate with couple of cuts. Also the biggest asset of this movie is going to be the length of the movie. Censor Board has certified 146 minutes of runtime for the film.

Earlier Sreenu Vytla has received the biggest flak of his life with “Aagadu”, where runtime of 165 minutes is considered to be one of the biggest minuses of the film.  Many movies like “Kick2” and “Shivam” most recently are flops due to their unbearable run time and chopping of some scenes post release haven’t’ helped much.

Taking care of the length issue, Sreenu Vytla has made sure that 2 hours 26 minutes will wrap up “Bruce Lee” on silver screen. That’s really a bearable time for audiences and there will be no scope for lags and slow-downs in the content too at such time.

We have to say length is going to be Bruce Lee’s weapon in case Sreenu Vaitla stuffed all ingredients properly and perfectly.

YS Bharathi also expressed concerns over Jagan’s dropping sugar levels and ketones and said that Jagan has become too tired and weak.

Lashing out at the TDP ministers who mocked saying that the YSRCP is fooling people with wrong sugar levels of Jagan, YS Bharathi said that it is wise of the ministers to talk about their developmental activities intsead of making fun of a man who is fasting for a cause.

Meanwhile, Jagan’s mother and YSRCP Honorary President YS Vijayamma has once again left for Jagan’s deeksha premises in Guntur, following the doctors’ reports of Jagan’s weakening health. Even Jagan’s sister YS Sharmila is said to be on her way from Bengaluru to see her brother.

They Rejected Rudhramadevi

rudrama4

Gunasekhar’s magnum opus Rudhramadevi is the talk of the town. Taking critics, trade analysts by surprise, the movie is setting cash registers ringing at the Box Office. The Anushka Shetty-Allu Arjun starrer, which opened to mixed reviews, garnered good collections in two Telugu states much to the surprise of many. Even the historic drama is faring well in overseas. As per the trade sources, the Telugu version alone grossed Rs 25 Crore share world-wide in the first three days (including Thursday premiers)

However, the movie which was simultaneously released in Hindi, failed to repeat the magic there. Trade analysts declared the film as super flop as the film’s collections were in no close to SS Rajamouli’s epic Baahubali. The Hindi-dubbed film couldn’t manage to pull in crowds to theatres.

Despite having Anushka Shetty (Baahubali fame) and Rana Daggubati ( who has hits like Dum Maaro Dum, Baby, Baahubali to his credit) as film’s lead cast, Rudhramadevi didn’t do well in Hindi. Apparently, there was no hype surrounding the film in Hindi unlike Baahubali. This said to have affected the Hindi-dubbed version.
For now, the Telugu version is doing well bringing cheer to its makers. Let’s wait and watch how the film going to fare in the coming week.

However, it’s a history and the duo called for truce.

Ask Sreenu Vaitla whether he would cast Prakash Raj in his upcoming films? Pat comes reply. Making it clear that he is open to work with Prakash Raj, Vaitla said, “Of course, I’m open to work with Prakash Raj in future. There are no permanent enemies in the industry. The differences we had arose in the spur of the moment. That’s past and we’re in happy space now.

In fact, I had stated then itself that I’d work with Prakash Raj.” Expounding further, he said, “As a director, I go by what my film needs. In fact, any director goes by this. If my film requires Prakash Raj, I’d definitely rope him in.”

Sreenu added that he patched up with writers Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan and stated that he would continue to work with them even after Bruce Lee. Vaitla said that he was fortunate to direct Chiranjeevi in his upcoming film Bruce Lee and stated that it was the best thing that happened to him during the making of the film. He said that Ram Charan evolved as an actor and he does the film with ease.
