Akkineni AKhil’s debut movie, Akhil is nearing completion. The shooting of the last song in the film began today in a special set erected in Annapurna 7 acres studio. The song is the ‘Akkineni Akkineni’ song in the album and will have steps composed by Jaani Master. This shoot will go on for three days and with that entire shooting will be complete.
Business in all the territories slowed down significantly as there is a dearth of theaters due to Rudhrama Devi and Bruce Lee. Nagarjuna and Vinayak want the movie to postpone to a later date but Akhil and Nithin would not listen. Hence the movie is coming on October 22nd as planned earlier amid all the odds.
Mass Masala director VV Vinayak is wielding megaphone for this film. The movie is a hot cake in trade and had witnessed never before business for a debutant. Now the distributors are carrying high risk. Akhil had done prerelease business worth 47 Crore which is the highest ever for a new comer in the history of Telugu cinema.
Star Heroine Smuggles 5 Crore Worth Diamonds?
Bollywood tabloids have been a buzz with the reports of a hot and happening star actress who made her silver screen debut in style with a star hero a few years ago. Apparently, this star actress was smuggling diamonds worth 5-6 crore from abroad into India. When a young customs officer caught her red-handed at the customs clearance check point at the airport, she started pleading him to leave her before it becomes a big news.
But, the honest officer didn’t oblige her desperate appeals and that’s when the actress used her political muscle. Just when the officer was almost on the verge of charge sheeting the actress, bang got a phone call from a ‘loud mouthed big wig’, who apparently asked the officer to set the actress free and even ‘warned’ him of dire consequences if he didn’t.
Apparently, the unnamed political honcho even threatened the officer against going to the media about the whole incident. The poor young man had to give in to the pressure and the actress walked away freely. The story didn’t stop here. The officer has now been transferred to a remote village in Maharashtra, following couple of more such incidents.
Lip Kiss Sentiment Haunts ‘Bruce Lee’
Going by the glamour Rakul Preet Singh has poured in for “Bruce Lee”, there comes a big doubt. Had she locked lips with Mega Powerstar? In that case, mega fans have a reason to worry.
Almost all the onscreen lipkisses of Rakul are hot and enthralling. The way she has done a minute long kissing sequence in Bollywood flick “Yaariyan”, her short kiss with Aadi in “Rough” and that deep peck on lips with Raviteja in “Kick 2” have won attention.
A feeling is that whenever Rakul locked lips with her co-stars, those films flopped miserably. Not the kiss, but the films. That sentiment is now haunting mega fans.
As Rakul tried to pour in tempting glamour for the film, who knows such a hot lip-lock might would have found its way into the film. Mega fans are now sending feelers to Charan to chop out that scene, in case if they did one.

Will Tollywood Support Rudramadevi?
Within less than 3 days, Gunasekhar’s most ambitious project till date, Rudramadevi, will release worldwide. Rudramadevi is a result of 3-year blood and sweat of Gunasekhar and his team, who underwent several financial and all other hardships during the filming and even after. Gunasekhar even delayed the film’s release over several months in a wait for the right time.
Made with a budget of 80 plus crores, Gunasekhar made Rudramadevi as not just another historic film but made it the country’s first ever historic stereoscopic 3D film, to give the audiences a never seen before experience. Now, will the audience reciprocate in the same way? Will they experience what Gunasekhar aspired for.
Even bigger question is, will Tollywood come in support for Rudramadevi with open hearts? During Baahubali released, entire film industry, including directors, producers, top stars and upcoming starlets, media and even fans openly welcomed the film for its gigantic effort in raising the bar for Telugu cinema.
Mahesh Babu even postponed his film to ensure Baahubali register good collections at the box-office. Will the same camaraderie and enthusiasm be showered on Gunasekhar or will the director wage a lone battle after the release? It will surely be a nice gesture by the who’s of who of Tollywood if they come forward to Gunasekhar’s support.
