Superstar Rajinikanth, along with several other Tamil actors, attended the swearing-in ceremony of AIADMK general secretary J. Jayalalithaa for the fifth time as chief minister of Tamil Nadu here on Saturday.

The swearing-in ceremony took place at Madras University Centinary Auditorium. Other Tamil actors present were Siva Kumar, Karthi, Sarath Kumar, Vivek, Arjun, Prabhu, Vikram and Ramarajan among others.

Jayalalithaa returned to office in less than a fortnight after the Karnataka High Court acquitted her and three others in a disproportionate assets case.

Radhika Apte has not shown her spicier side to Telugu audience yet. She was seen in four Telugu movies till now and she has done typical traditional type of roles in all of them. Radhika Apte is a bold actress who could go to any extent if the script demands. Her frontal nudity in Anurag Kashyap’s short film created a lot of sensation.

Radhika’s skin show in Badlapur cannot be forgotten that easily. In this picture she unleashes her spicy side where she looks as ravishing as any hot babe out there. Telugu makers should take a cue out of this to rope Radhika in for a glamorous character maybe.

Recently rivals, Ramoji Rao of Eenadu and Jagan Mohan Reddy unexpectedly bumped into each other at a celebrity wedding in Hyderabad. Unlike YSR’s homage after death, when Jagan turned askance while Ramoji spoke to him, this time Jagan was quite courteous and Ramoji reciprocated the gesture.

Both were reportedly seen speaking for some time, exchanging pleasantries. However this was only coincidental but nothing significant politically. Meanwhile this has somehow reminded analysts in AP that Ramoji Rao’s Eenadu daily is not that forth coming when it comes to attacking Jagan.

Although there is no much need now since anyway YSRCP will be in opposition for 4 more years, never the less defamation campaign against Jagan has come down significantly compared to past. Even Sakshi has mellowed down its rant against Ramoji and his business empire.

While some say that with full-fledged good will towards KCR now taking away Ramoji’s tensions in TS, he may be preparing to come to terms that politics will always not be one sided and he should be ready to accept Jagan’s comeback, if any in 2019. But there are others who dismiss this saying there is no dearth of rivalry between them and the tone down by both sides is only a pause as other issues are dominating headlines these days.

It is now said that Dictator is on and the movie will have a grand launch on 29th of this month in Ramanaidu Studios. However for some reason, Balayya did not like the title ‘Dictator’ and so asked the makers to come up with a new option. Until then, Dictator will be the working title only.

They are now looking for a title which will have ‘Simha’ in it. The word Simha/Lion is usually Balayya’s lucky charm. The regular shooting of the movie will begin in June and the makers plan to release the film for Sankranthi 2016.

Srivas who garnered a super success with Loukyam will be wielding megaphone for this project. The script is said to be based on Mafia backdrop. Famous writers duo – Kona Venkat and Gopimohan will be working for the first time with Balayya. Eros International will be producing this film. Nayantara, Anjali and Hansika are in consideration to be the heroines.

Puri Jagannadh had almost completed the Post Production works of Jyothi Lakshmi and is free until the movie release in June. Mean while, he had flown to Bangkok to pen the dialogue version of his next, the prestigious 150th film of Chiranjeevi.

First 6 pack star from the Ghattamaneni family, Sudheer Babu, is not thrilled with happenings over his film Mosagallaku Mosagadu. Today, the film released to decent openings but critics gave it an average fare, while praising the film’s style and packaging. However, looks like a certain section of media is back into business, maligning the film’s producers.

Getting into the details, the makers of Mosagallaku Mosagadu had teamed up with a top producer from Nizam area to release the film in maximum number of theatres. Apart from allotting more number of screens for the film, the said producer also promised a decent promotional package from select media channels.

This seems to have not gone down well with a section of media, which started airing negative reviews on the film. Quickly protesting this, Sudheer Babu said, ‘Media plays a responsible role in any industry, it’s unfair by some to spread negative abt a film just because the producer choose.. to promote d film with few ppl in the media.doesn’t effect only d producer but also d technicians involved…’ Time will only tell when will this war between the media and the filmmakers come to an end.
