As the release date of “Srimanthudu” is inching in, various new things about the film are getting unfolded. Latest update is about the character played by Jagapathi Babu in the movie. In a way we hear that his fans are going to be disappointed with the final-cut of this Mahesh Babu starrer that’s carved out by talented writer-director Koratala Siva.

The trailers do indicate that Mahesh confronts his multi-millionaire dad, played by Jagapathi Babu, and then walks out of home to pursue his dreams. There said to be so many logger-head like scenes between Mahesh and Jagapathi, shot in Malaysia, and they have come out really well.

Unfortunately all those scenes have lost at the edit table and the final cut haven’t accommodated many of them. That fine tuned Jagapathi’s role to a mere 10 minutes, which is more or less like a blink-miss appearance in the film.

Sometimes these 10 minute appearances are what stuns everyone. Say it with Satya Raj in “Mirchi” or Prakash Raj in “Athadu”, there scenes wouldn’t make up to 10-15 minutes, but they have created long lasting impact. Let us see what happens.

Finally, the Manchu family can heave a huge sigh of relief. The Supreme Court of India has said that Mohan Babu can keep is Padma Shri and that the coveted award will not be taken back by the government. It is well known that Andhra Pradesh High Court had long back ordered the authorities to take back Mohan Babu’s Padma Shri following allegations of dishonoring the award.

During the release of Vihsnu’s Denikaina Ready, several cases were filed on Mohan Babu for adding the ‘Padma Shri’ title along with his name in the film’s credits. After a series of hearings, the High Court passed the judgement to cancel the honor bestowed upon the senior actor. Mohan Babu then challenged HC’s ruling in the Apex Court.

In his counter petition, Mohan Babu stated that the film’s producer had credited him as Padma Shri Mohan Babu without his knowledge. Mohan Babu also stated that he will not dishonor the award in the future and that he may be permitted to keep the award. Following the hearings, the Supreme Court has nullified High Court’s orders.

Tamil superstar Vijay’s Puli fetched eight crores for its Telugu dubbed version. This is a huge deal considering Vijay’s market in Telugu. His recent release Jilla did fairly well over here, but eight crores for his film is too big amount. Looks like Sridevi’s presence played huge role in it.

Sridevi played a key role in Puli, a folklore Tamil film made on a high budget. Shruti Haasan and Hansika did the female leads in this film that has Sudeep as the antagonist. Heavy star cast and the high production values grabbed eyeballs of Telugu market circles. Puli is also being called as Tamil Baahubali must be another reason for this handsome deal.

Puli will be released simultaneously in Telugu in a big way. This is going to be the biggest release for Vijay in Telugu. This is best chance for him to make a lasting impression in Tollywood. He is the only Tamil superstar that failed to expand his market in Telugu while all other top Tamil heroes have made a mark.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu is all set to hit the marquee on 7th of this month. Mahesh is doing his best to create super buzz for this film prior to the release. Advance booking trends indicate that Mahesh’s efforts are yielding results. Star directors like Puri, Harish Shankar and Srikanth Addala came forward to say a word about Srimanthudu.

While directors are supporting Mahesh, star heroes are staying away from talking about it. We have seen all the heroes speak great words about Baahubali prior and post release of the film. Seems like it is an exclusive luxury that Rajamouli films enjoy. When it comes to other films, our heroes are not bothered about wishing the best.

Of course Mahesh Babu also doesn’t tweet or talk about his competitors films. Bollywood Superstars Aamir, Salman and Shahrukh Khan are supporting each other without any egos or jealousies. Maybe it is time for our heroes to support one another like Bollywood stars do.

Five years after she disappeared from the fashion circuits, beauty queen Aishwarya Rai is back to ramp now. For her favourite fashion designer Manish Malhotra, this hot lady walked elegantly down the ramp at the All India Couture Week that is happening from past couple of days.

Moving like a swan on the foot ramp, Aish flaunted her enthralling looks quite effortlessly. As she moved swiftly with grace in that royal ensemble, flaunting her tempting curves with pride, her eyes did the whole magic as she gazed sharply at the lensmen with that laser like gaze.

This is her return to ramp walking after 5 years, as she took a break post the birth of her daughter Aradhya. Her look is a killer and this hot lady became talk of town yet again. Very soon, Aish will be back on silver screen with movies like Jazbaa and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Even after several months of its release, India’s biggest grosser ever, PK, is still haunted by numerous police cases. Bearing the brunt now is the film’s hero and Bollywood superstar, Aamir Khan. A Delhi based short filmmaker named PR Ullhas has filed a complaint against the star for calling the Delhi policemen “Thulla” in PK.

The young filmmaker cited the example of the complaints filed against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who also canned the Delhi police “Thulla”. “If a complaint can be filed against Kejriwal for using the derogatory term then why not Aamir Khan?”, said Ullhas, talking to the media.

Ullhas even submitted the scenes of PK to the Delhi police, in which Aamir calls a policeman “Thulla”, which means corrupt cop. This is not the first time that the young filmmaker filed a police complaint, as in the past too, he had filed a complaint on Amitabh Bachchan for singing the National Anthem improperly,  and also on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, for calling Delhi government as Kejriwal Sarkar instead of Delhi Sarkar.

When there are no shootings, common folks expect our star kids to wake up at 11 and then have their breakfast by afternoon. That’s popular mis-conception however. Talented folks like Akhil Akkineni and other star kids getup as early as six and then head to gym to keep themselves fit.

Before heading to gym or anything, here comes Akhil, giving a gyaan about Deepika Padukone. Yes, he’s talking about our Bollywood seductress Deepika as he can’t come out of her hangover. “Had the late pleasure of seeing Piku yesterday. It’s quite amazing how they made a film about constipation so beautiful. Motion se emotion! Amazing writing n even more amazing n natural performances to back the writing up.

Was just in awe of Deepika Padukone”, said Akhil. Maybe the film is already forgotten in film circles, though a big hit, because various other blockbusters like Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan have taken the centre stage. Anyway, it’s good that Akhil didn’t missed a good flick and hope he too delivers such stunner at box office.

Akhil’s debut flick is being directed by VV Vinayak which is likely to hit cinemas on Dasara 2015. On August 29th, Nagarjuna’s birthday eve, first looks of this film is going to be release.
