Ganesh puja frenzy among the staunch devotees across the country is well known and it often gets hysteric with all the Ganesh pandals buzzing with over the top with loud decibel levels. Every year, the voice levels that come off these pandals frighten the nearby residents including kids. Now, the latest victims are none other than Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s family members, daughter Aadya and Renu Desai.

Last night, Renu Desai tweeted about her and her daughter Aadya’s ordeal with loud music from a nearby pandal. In Renu’s words, “Horribly loud item songs blaring last 30mins on road. Aadya complaining,unable to sleep. Does Ganesha really need item songs to prove bhakti?” While these words seem like a regular complaint, they also raise the important question of religious sycophancy in the name of god.

It’s high time that these so called hysteric devotees realize that they are causing more sound and environmental pollution than propagating religious fervor. Even the strict laws against such polluting measures are not being implemented by the concerned authorities.

Young hero Ram is loud, straight forward and frank. In most of his films, he is seen in the same way, but in real life also he’s pretty same. When a media folk said the other day that some of his experiments did well, some didn’t, he snaps immediately, “No, all of my experiments have disappointed me”.

Ram says, “I always feel like getting clarity of what to do and what not, but my opinion changes after the film’s release. Despite all hard efforts, my experiments failed”. In his career of hits and flops, which is more like a roller-coaster ride to him, Ram has movies like Jagadam, Ganesh, Endukante Premante, Ongole Gitta and Masala which were termed as mighty flops.

But Ram owns them by the heart. “For Jagadam I’ve worked for 2 years. I did Ganesh for kids. In Masala I’ve dared to play gay character. But still audiences didn’t liked them, I don’t know why. It’s all about picking up the film I got excited. That’s it”

Ram’s next, “Shivam” is slated for October 2nd release. Directed by newcomer Srinivas Reddy, the film has Rashi Khanna playing the lead girl.

In this exclusive photoshoot, Sonam mesmerizes beauty lovers as she poses in a thigh slit black dress that exposes her perfectly toned thigh and her sultry figure. Sonam’s demure charms in a moody forest-like atmosphere makes her look like a forest queen.

Always known as a true fashionista, there’s no competition to Sonam Kapoor when it comes to igniting the passions down the male hearts with her sensuous photoshoots. The actress is currently busy with a handful of big ticket films like Salman’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and the biopic on the brave flight attendant, Neerja Bhanot.

For the last couple of days, entire Tollywood and Mega fans have been busy discussing about one topic, the acting debut of the first actress from the Mega family, Niharika Konidela. Niharika is no new birdie to camera, as she had acted in a few short films in the past and also hosted a few entertainment shows on TV successfully and enjoys her own fan following.

Niharika’s acting debut opposite handsome hero Naga Shaurya in a film to be directed by Mallela Theeram Lo Sirimalle Puvvu fame Rama Raju and jointly produced by Madhura Sreedhar along with a popular news channel. In her first ever interview after signing her debut film, Niharika shared a few interesting details about her family and her debut project

A total daddy’s girl, Niharika said that she has always been immensely passionate about acting and that her family was very supportive when she expressed her desire to step in to films. Niharika also said that even her uncle, Megastar Chiranjeevi, whom she fondly calls ‘daddy’, was quite encouraging when she revealed her wish to act. Niharika, called Niha at home, also said that just like people who give are called givers, she will call Chiru as ‘lifer’ for giving life to so many actors from the Mega family.

Talking about her debut film, Niharika said that she still can’t believe that she is indeed turning a heroine and that the excitement hasn’t sunk in yet. Niharika excitedly said that her debut film has a great script and that it will be a memorable foundation for her career. Well, the first actress from the Mega family looks like a perfect blend of beauty with the brain and a sensitive heart. Let’s wish her all the best for a dream start.

Cashing on the craze of a hit pair is something coming like a tradition from years. Say it NTR-Sridevi, Chiranjeevi-Radha and Balayya-Vijayasanthi, hits pairs always fascinated fans. And another way of bringing hit pairs is, if a hero-heroine from another tinsel town scores a hit with a dubbed movie in Telugu, then all their past films will get released here.

As Dulquer Salman and Nitya Menon have become a hit pair, thanks to Mainratnam’s “Ok Bangaram”, now their Malayalam films are making way into Tollywood. First to arrive is their “Ustaad Hotel”, now dubbed in Telugu as “Jataga”. For those who know the concept of this film, this title sounds unusual.

Because this is not a romantic drama like an “Ok Bangaram”. This film is about a guy’s aspirations, his father’s dreams and grandpa’s hotel. Maybe the title is a big misfit for this otherwise brilliant movie written by Anjali Menon and directed by Anwar Rashid. As the dubbed version is getting readied for release, let us see how it fares.

Released in 1993, master of comedies, the late EVV Satyanarayana, created a huge havoc with his hilarious comedy, Jambalakidi Pamba, which is still considered a cult classic. Even though the film is a comedy, it delves deep into feminism and women rights in a funny manner shows what happens when the male and female genders turn the opposites.

Now, after more than 2 decades, the EVV classic is being retold by the leading Bollywood production house, Yashraj Films. Yashraj is coming up with a web series titled Man’s World, and its plot of ‘what if women treated men, the way men treat women’ seems to be heavily inspired from Jambalakidi Pamba.

Written and directed by Vikram Gupta, Man’s World is a funny and an intriguing take on gender equality, made in support of UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development campaign. Parineeti Chopra, Kalki Koechlin, Richa Chadha, Rhea Chakraborty, Bhumi Pednekar and Shweta Tripathi play important roles in this web series, which will be released on Yash Raj Films’ web division Y-Films on 29 September.
