After impressing with the cute and youthful teaser which was launched by Young Tiger NTR, director Sukumar is ready to unveil the audio album of his debut production, Kumari 21F. As per the latest update, Kumari 21F will have its audio launch on the 24th of October. Sukumar’s close friend Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer.

Kumari 21F is a new age tale of love, romance and relationships. The film stars young hero Raj Tarun, who is looking to strike a hat-trick after Uyyala Jampala and Cinema Choopistha Maava, aloong with dusky young beauty Heebah Patel, who drew everyone’s attention with Ala Ela.

Sukumar, who is known for his creative and peculiar story-lines, wrote Kumari 21F script and assigned the job of directing the film to Surya Pratap, who earlier directed Sushanth’s Current. Sukumar’s close buddy and longtime associate R Rathnavelu cranked the camera for this flick.

A day after director Dasari Narayana Rao’s comments on the makers of Bruce Lee set tongues wagging in the Telugu film fraternity, the film’s lead protagonist and actor Ram Charan reacted to the remarks. Shunning away from making befitting counters, Chran simply brushed off Dasari’s sharp comments.

When media asked Charan about Dasari’s comments that star hero films themselves bring festival and hence they could postpone their releases, Charan turned diplomatic and simply said, “Those words are good to hear.” “When Aagadu was releasing, we had postponed Govindudu Andarivadele following their request.

Even recent big-ticket films like Baahubali, Srimanthudu, Kick 2 have all maintained the trend by having a considerable gap between their releases. In our case, none has approached us and we’ve been maintaining that we’re arriving on Oct 16 as planned. It’s they who came in between,” pointed out Ram Charan. Charan made it clear that there was no fault of theirs in the whole issue.

Dasari earlier stated that it was unfortunate to have a big-film release (Bruce Lee) within just a week time. He said that star-studded films could postpone their releases as their arrival itself would bring a festive atmosphere. Though Dasari tried to provoke Charan, and at a time where many in Industry expecting sharp counter from Charan, he simply played it safe and kept away from the war of words.

Hugely popular for his villainous roles and hilarious comic avatars with his typical Rayalaseema slang, Jayaprakash Reddy or JP, will soon tickle the funny bones of comedy lovers with his hilarious playback singing debut.

JP has sung a rib-ticklingly funny song titled Mahalakshmi Raave from the upcoming romantic thriller Lakchimdeviki O Lekkundi (LOL).

Not just the song but JP also got a making of the song video in which one can notice his funny antics during the song recording session in the presence of the film’s music composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Ananth Sriram. The song is in the praise of goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, and JP’s funny appeals to the goddess will surely put on a smile on peoples’ faces.

Lakchimdeviki O Lekkundi audio album was launched a couple of days ago by SS Rajamouli, who attended the event to wish his assistant director Jagadeesh who is making his directorial debut. The film has Andhala Rakshasi pair Naveen Chandra and Lavanya Tripathi and looks like JP’s character will also be a key to the film’s story.

Veteran actor Mada Venkateswara Rao, known for his eunuch roles onscreen, has passed away just a while ago today owing to unhealthy issues.

Very few people know that, Venkateswara Rao was an engineering graduate worked at electricity department. He started his career as stage artist and then entered films. Bapu had encouraged Mada in his career starting stages by offering him good roles. Mada’s role is remembered forever in Mutyala Muggu. Though he was seen for just 2 minutes, he made strong impact on the film.

Later, it was Dasari Narayana Rao who gave Mada a big life. In the film Chillara Kottu Chittamma, Dasari had roped in Mada for the role of Puvvula Kommaiah. Mada was praised for his performance and never looked back from then on. He was the only actor in all the directors minds for the eunuch roles then. Mada had acted in eunuch roles in about 50 to 60 films.

Mada was born on October 10th, 1950. He led happy life until his last breath and never asked anyone for film offers. Mada had been suffering from unhealthy issues from past few months. He was very close to ANR gaaru and Gummadi gaaru. May Mada Venkateswara Rao’s soul rests in peace and deepest condolences to his family.

‘No Bra Day’ was celebrated across world yesterday. The day was celebrated with an intention to provide Breast cancer awareness. Most women these days are suffering from breast cancer and even a slight lump under their armpit is a sign of breast cancer.

Even though they might be bacterial infection, doctors ask women not to take it easily and they request everyone to consult a doctor. As we all know Hansika Motwani who was last seen in ‘Puli’ is the brand Ambassador of ‘Chennai turns Pink’, an awareness programme to create breast cancer awareness among urban women.

But the actress never spoke a word or even tweeted anything regarding ‘Breast cancer Awareness’ campaign. In fact the actress never even bothered to open up against the social campaign which she has signed for.

So is it just an eye-wash or has she signed the social awareness campaign out of interest? It is to be noted that the actress has already been involved in lots of welfare activities. But now comes a question, whether she does it out of interest or just to evade tax, just like Samantha.
