After enthralling the audiences with her angry determination in Bahubali and royal valor in Rudramadevi, Anushka Shetty is all set to entertain with her endearing personality and humor in Size Zero. PVP Cinema, the producer of Size Zero, has officially announced the release date as the 27th of November.

Size Zero and its Tamil version Inji Iduppazhagi are going to be released on a massive scale across the world on more than 1500 screens. With back to back blockbusters Anushka has acquired the image of a superstar and it is a testament to her popularity that Size Zero is having such a grand release.

The first look and teaser for Size Zero have generated tremendous buzz and there is massive expectation on this movie. PVP Cinema has ensured that the content will cater to the family audiences and lives up to its tag of the Biggest Entertainer.

Starring Anushka Shetty, Arya, Sonal Chauhan, Prakash Raj, Urvashi, Bharat and others, Size Zero is all set for a global release on 27/11/15.

Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi and Produced by PVP Cinema, Size Zero has foot tapping music by MM Keeravani and a top notch technical crew consisting of Kanika Dhillon Kovelamudi for Script, Nirav Shah handling the camera, editing by Pravin Pudi, Art by Anand Sai and costumes by Prashanti.

And finally, here’s the first ever video glimpse of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s onscreen appearance after more than 6 years. Just as the film hit the screen with special night premiere, the Bruce Lee team has unveiled the making teaser of Megastar in the film.

The short teaser brings back the vintage Chiru who is looking like a million bucks. Megastar raised the fans’ expectations on Bruce Lee to an all-time high with his smashing look and his entry from a chopper will surely thrill the fans.

This afternoon, Chiru stole the hearts of his fans with just two posters. In the first one, the Megastar looked classy and royal on a horse and in the other he doesn’t even show his face but fans still went hysteric.

With all this positivity the teaser exuded, needless to say that Bruce Lee will sure pack a rock solid punch at the box-office tomorrow.

As expected, Akhil Akkineni’s much-awaited debut Akhil has been postponed. The movie which was scheduled to release on Oct 22nd on the eve of Dasara is not releasing as planned. Latest reports confirmed that the film has been deferred and a fresh release date is yet to be fixed.

Featuring Akhil, Sayeesha Saigal in the lead roles, the socio-fantasy is directed by VV Vinayak. Since the film marks the launch of scion of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, expectations on the film are way too high.

Apparently, the makers failed to promote the film on par with other big-ticket films. Unhappy with the film’s promotions, Nag reportedly insisted the producers to defer the film for now and asked them to release it with grand promotions.

Since Ram Charan’s Bruce Lee too is releasing on Oct 16 for Dasara, in order to avoid a Box Office clash, makers of Akhil decided to go back. This is touted as big advantage for Ram Charan’s Bruce Lee as it’s solo release for this big festival.

Early this month when the producers and hero of Tamil “Puli” are raided by Income Tax department sleuths, there was a buzz in Kollywood that the raids are politically motivated. Given that Vijay has recently expressed interest towards a political party, these rumours sounded very true.

What about “Bruce Lee” now? Ever since the news of IT Raids on “Bruce Lee” is out, there is a section of fans accusing that the raids of intentionally designed. They say, some people wanted to hold the release of “Bruce Lee” for a week and hence they have used their clout to provoke IT officials by sending them wrong reports.

A couple of big names are also doing rounds, but provided with the ‘power’ those names and Chiranjeevi are having, we could say that none could exercise power to instrument an IT raid. But still, raids will not be holding any good if they are to stop the release.

‘Already all the finances are cleared and the film being none other than Ram Charan’s, no investor or any old distributor will not make it an issue for money now. Also the whole release finance things are cleared two days back by Dil Raju and Danayya’, says a source, from the producer’s office.

Superstar Mahesh Babu is a hard core fan of universal hero Kamal Haasan. The actor himself proclaimed this several times. Apparently, this might be the reason for Mahesh Babu showing keen interest on Kamal’s daughter Shruti Haasan. Significantly, she has turned lucky one time for Mahesh. The Mahesh-Shruti duo has acted together in couple of films- Aagadu and Srimanthudu.

While Shruti was seen performing on a special number in Sreenu Vaitla’s directorial that bombed at the box office, she played a full length role in Koratala Siva’s directorial that turned out as career best hit in Mahesh’s career.

Now, Shruti is likely to pair opposite Mahesh for the third time in the actor’s next film with Tamil director AR Murugadoss. For this film that will go on floors sometime next year, the makers are considering Shruti’s name and Mahesh also has no qualms in casting the seductress. In fact, we should call Shruti as lucky girl since she is acting in hat trick of films with Mahesh Babu.

Interim, Mahesh Babu is working for Brahmotsavam in Srikanth Addala’s direction. On the other hand, Shruti Haasan has handful projects in Tamil, Hindi and few projects are in discussion stages in Telugu.

Hero Ram Charan and seductress Kajal have acted together in four movies already, including Magadheera, Nayak, Yevadu and Govindudu Andarivadele. But we have another Kajal who is paired up with Cherry earlier.

Apparently there is this 4 minutes cameo of Megastar Chiranjeevi in “Bruce Lee” which will be unveiled to the world in less than few hours. In this short cameo, he will be seen riding a horse along with his son Ram Charan.

While Chiru picked up a white horse to ride, Charan will be seen with the horse he has shown to us in Magadheera movie. Name of that horse is Kajal, and it’s Cherry’s personal horse. He raises that animal with all the care at this stable located on the outskirts of the city.

This will be the second time his Kajal is making appearance on silver screen. That’s the thing we are talking about. Well, hope Kajal brings similar luck of Magadheera to “Bruce Lee” also.

After working nonstop for four months for Bruce Lee, Ram Charan is now super busy with the film’s promotions. Ahead of the movie release, Charan is bundle of nerves. Yet he is composed and confident of the film’s verdict. Since his dad-Mega Star Chiranjeevi is donning grease paint after six years, though for a cameo presence, Bruce Lee is special film for Charan. Naturally, huge hype has surrounded the film.

Excerpts from interview:

About Bruce Lee

The title might sound like an action movie, but Bruce Lee is all about a family. It banks on the brother-sister bonding. Karthi fights for the ambition of his sister. I play a fighter. Karthi is a boy-next-door and he fights for his family. The film has been titled so keeping my fans in mind. We started the shoot in June and wrapped up film in Sep and releasing it now (Oct). This is perhaps my fastest made film yet conceived well.

Reunion of Kona, Vaitla

Kona, Srinu garu makes for a good combo. Together they can do wonders. We believe that no one is above cinema. Cinema reunited all of us. Definitely, the duo’s collaboration fetched Bruce Lee a lot.

On Rakul Preet Singh

Rakul is good actress. She is apt for Bruce Lee. I think she’ll soon make it very big on par with other star heroines.

On Action Episodes

I underwent a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) training in Bangkok as part of preparation for the film. It’s just a regular training to prepare myself for action sequences.

Highlights of Bruce Lee

Of Course, the unique selling point (USP) of Bruce Lee is Mega Star Chiranjeevi. He has done a fabulous job. If I’m not his son, I’d have spoken more about him and his presence. His presence is going to take us through great experience.

The comedy by Brahmaji (Blockbuster Brahmaji) and Brahmanandam (Suzuki Subramanyam) will tickle your funny bone. Especially Brahmaji’s role in the first half of the film is a laugh riot and must-watch.

Magadheera vs Bruce Lee. On Comparisons.

Interestingly both has Dad (Chiranjeevi) in guest appearance. But during Bruce Lee I got opportunity to see Dad closely on the sets, observe him and discuss with him. Meantime, I too evolved as an actor, star. Working with dad for Bruce Lee is the best thing happened to me during the film. He’s working hard like before. He looks far younger than how he looked in his previous films.

Chiranjeevi’s 150th Film

Things are shaping up. Very soon, I’ll make an announcement. It will be produced under Konidela Production House.

Upcoming Films

I’ll start working on the Telugu remake of Thani Oruvan from mid-December. After this, I’ll team up with director Gautam Menon for an action romance. My film under Pawan Kalyan Creative Works banner is in scripting phase. Details will be announced by the production house.

Release Sentiments

Personally, I don’t have any sentiments. People around me are citing many sentiments. I wish they work well in favour of the film. (Laughs, signs off)
