SS Rajamouli had released the poster of Bhallaladeva from his magnum opus film, Baahubali.Rana played the role which is the villain of the story and he looked very ferocious in it. The poster by far is the highlight one in posters released so far besides Prabhas as Shivam.

Needless to say, the poster went viral as soon as it is released. There is only the poster of Prabhas as Baahubali is left to be released. The audio release function will happen on May 31st. The theatrical trailer of the movie will also be released on that day.

The expectations on the film are skyrocketing as every day pass by. Baahubali is the biggest budget movie ever made on Telugu Screen. Three years of hard work had gone in to the project.

Prabhas had pinned high hopes on the film to catapult him to the next level. The movie is already creating never before seen records in Telugu film trade.

As the pictures of VV Vinayak unveiling the first look of Swathi’s Tripura movie have surfaced in media the other day, it is widely believed that our director is in India and launched the film’s first look. That immediately pushed debutant Akhil’s teammates into a foot in mouth situation as to why the director is not in Spain when the Akkineni lad is filming for action sequences there.

Jumping into the situation, writer Kona Venkat tried to clear the air by claiming that VV Vinayak is very much in Spain and the pictures of him releasing Tripura first look are dated long back. “Much before Vinayak went to Spain, he launched that first look. Those pictures have come out now“, said Kona Venkat. Joining the chorus, even producer Nitin claimed, “Vinayak garu is very much in Spain taking care of each and every thing about Production-A to make it a memorable film for everyone involved”.

Probably all these revelations are true, but they are tough to believe until Akhil tweets some picture of Vinayak from the sets in Spain. Otherwise, these clarifications are looking like some make-up news. Anyway, fans need better output from Vinayak it doesn’t matter whether he is in Hyderabad or Spain. Hit or flop is counted in director’s account only.

Theatrical Trailer of the movie will also be released on the same day. Baahubali is the biggest budget movie ever made on Telugu Screen. Three years of hard work had gone in to the project. Prabhas had pinned high hopes on the film to catapult him to the next level.

The movie is already creating never before seen records in Telugu film trade. Sabu Cyril has created the sets while Senthil is handling the camera. The movie, which is being produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni.

Under Arka Media banner, will be presented by K Raghavendra Rao. Renowned engineer P. M. Sateesh is working on the sound design and Debajit Changmai (Debu) is working on sound mixing.

Well, anyone who knows Anil Kapoor in Bollywood knows that you cannot keep him at a party after a certain time.

Apparently, Anil is very particular about his daily regime and he makes it a point to get out early.

It is said that he has a set time to go to bed and considers himself a morning person. Naturally, he does not like staying up till night and slips out once his deadline is over.

Industry insiders say he has company in Akshay Kumar who also avoids late night parties and instead prefers to wake up at the crack of dawn.

Have you seen the ads about Homeocare International on television recently? Well, the ad is endorsed by superstar Krishna.

Later, his wife comes into the scene and endorses their products. And last, but not the least, their son-in-law Sudheer Babu too endorses the products. So, in all, barring Mahesh everyone from the family has endorsed the company.

But is it right to do so, especially since homeopathy is a traditional form of medicine, the effects of which are still being debated? Already, a lot of programmes on television revolve around diabetes and it has become a fad of sorts to promote medical products to gullible people.

To add to this jamboree of doctors, is it necessary for actors to get into the act too? Shouldn’t they think on these lines and stay off these over-hyped products and services?

Ram Gopal Varma is now known for making films on shoe string budgets featuring wannabe stars. That none of them succeed at the box-office does not deter him from making more such kinds of films.

If cinema can be considered as a consumer product, then Varma’s movies are like ‘China Mobiles’. By the way, there is one movie which Varma started with Rajsekhar as hero, titled ‘Pattapagalu’.

Poor Rajsekhar who is desperate for a hit signed this film, if not for commercial success then at least for the credit of having worked with Varma.

The trailer of the movie was also released some time back. But the film has not yet been released. There was talk earlier that the movie was being reshot. But now there is absolutely no news regarding the project.

There is industry gossip that the movie might not release as there were differences of opinion between Varma and Rajsekhar. If that indeed is the truth, then the public owes Varma and Rajsekhar, a debt of gratitude.

Kamal Hassan had completed the shooting of his Vishwaroopam-2 a long ago. His Uttama Villain which was made after that, was already released and his other film, Papanasam is gearing up for release. But still Vishwaroopam-2 is not near any where.

Kamal Hassan faced huge issues before the release of Vishwaroopam and so he sold of Vishwaroopam-2 distribution rights to Aascar Ravichandran. However the senior producer is in deep financial crisis after the failure of Shankar’s I and is now unable to release Vishwaroopam-2.

Interacting with the media at a film festival recently, The Universal Hero admitted that giving away the distribution rights of Vishwaroopam 2 to an outside party is a big mistake and he now regrets doing that.

Rumours began doing rounds since Yesterday about the clean-shaven look of Pawan Kalyan. The one who cooked-up the story circulated an old picture with the version that the actor has decided to shed the beard for ‘Gabbar Singh 2’.

However, Pawan Kalyan’s mere presence at the Wedding Ceremony of Manchu Manchu has put an end to the rumours. The Actor-turned-Politician sported a bushy beard look as he arrived at the venue where Vishnu and Mohan Babu gave a warm welcome.

The Collection King even inquired with him about the reason behind the bearded avatar and Pawan explained to him in detail. When the Mega Hero was about to leave after blessing the newly wed, Mohan Babu was very particular about taking few photographs with him in the presence of Manchu Family.
