“It was just a scuffle scene, but this girl has slapped me on face for real. I’m shocked by her attitude. Of course, you can slap for real to get a genuine reaction, but there is no point in slapping without any reason”, says hot Bengali siren Shraddha Das, while sharing her thoughts about co-star Mannara (alias Barbie Handa), cousin of star heroine Priyanka Chopra. 

Both Mannara and Shraddha will be seen together in upcoming film ‘Zid’, whose trailers have already caught attention due to the skin shows of both these ladies. Vowing to not work with Mannara again, Shradda felt happy that her love-making scene got recognition from trailers itself despite the makers promoting Priyanka’s cousin as the whole and sole of the movie. “I don’t want to work with her in the future, for the kind of injuries she inflicted on me during shooting”, says Shraddha. 

Being a senior actress with more 25 south Indian films in her kitty, we couldn’t surely find fault with our Bengali hottie. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, Zid will be hitting screens on November 28th, while Shraddha Das is right now busy shooting for her upcoming horror flick ‘Ouija’ in Langkwai island, Malaysia.

Noted film director Ram Gopal Varma appears to be striving real hard to get into the good books of T CM KCR. Else, would he make such unnecessary comments and create yet another controversy? Recently, he tweeted asking if it was right for Telangana people to pray for Lord Venkateswara in Tirupati when they had Narasimha Swamy in Yadagirigutta. Though Ram Gopal Varma is a self-confessed atheist, he said that Telangana people praying to Lord Venkateswara meant insulting Narasimha Swamy in Yadagirigutta. 

Bhakti is universal and people of all faiths go to temples in places such as Sabarimala, Amritsar and Vaishno Devi. Does that mean that people are insulting the gods of their native state? In fact, Ram Gopal Varma says that like one loves one’s country, one must love the gods of their state and not clamour after gods of other states. Well, recently KCR announced that he would develop Yadagirigutta on the lines of Vatican City. 

Varma says he is very happy that KCR has taken up the task of developing Yadagirigutta and expressed hope that the people of Telangana will realize the importance of their own gods. Well, there is nothing wrong in Varma trying to impress KCR. But is it right on his part to instigate people and perpetuate separatist thoughts in their minds? It is time that Varma did some introspection before making such controversial statements.

A select few Tollywood stars were invited to Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan’s wedding. While Mega Power Star Ram Charan and wife Upasna were seen bonding with Priyanka Chopra. 

Actress Namrata Shirodkar turned up without her hubby Mahesh Babu. She left soon after wishing the couple. Actor Venkatesh attended the wedding along with wife Neeraja. Sania Mirza who came with her sister Anam, was clicking selfies with her Bollywood friends.

We know that Arpita Khan who just married the love of her life Aayush Sharma, is on cloud nine. After marrying like a princess at the Taj Falaknuma in Hyderabad, Arpita was blessed by the who’s who of B-town including Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, what Arpita feels most thankful for, is the care and love bestowed by her brothers Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail, on her. The young bride wrote down a little speech for her family and wanted to go up on stage and read it out to them. 

But she got so emotional that she started to choke. She went up to Priyanka Chopra and requested her to read it on her behalf. Priyanka Chopra then came up on stage and told the guests, Arpita is afraid she might ‘break down, so I am going to read out what she has to say…’. “I am the luckiest girl to be brought up in a fami ly like mine,“ Arpita wrote in her speech, adding that her brothers are her pillars of strength. “Sohail bhai and I shared the same room until he got married he’s like a friend to me. 

Arbaaz bhai is like my guide, he always told me what’s good and what’s bad. Salman bhai though, has the biggest heart. For him, I can do no wrong. Everything I did, he was there to support me.” Arpita in her letter, also thanked her parents Salim Khan, Salma Khan and Helen. The Khans, needless to say were touched by these kind words of the new bride. The speech served as an anniversary gift to Arpita’s parents Salim and Salma, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary today.

The relationship between a man and bike is much stronger than anything.Among all other bikes it was Harley Davidson company bikes which attracts men more and our Tollywood stars not an exception for this. Now one more upcoming hero showed his affection on th swanky bike and he is none other than Sampoornesh Babu aka Sampoo.Yesterday, the Harley Davidson showroom in Hyderabad had a surprise visitor and all those who were present were in for a shock.

He is none other than Sampoo and after entering into showroom without second thought Sampoo seated himself on this big beast and clicked himself. Now, whether he wanted to give a pose or is he actually going to buy this is a big mystery. Onlookers were surprised after seeing the picture, some are also quipping that maybe Harley Davidson have decided to take Sampoo as brand ambassador for their bike. 

With some big offers in hand it’s not a big deal for Sampoo to own this bike which costs around 3 lakhs. It is already known that RGV is doing a movie with Sampoornesh Babu in the lead! According to film nagar sources the movie was given the title Pokiri Returns and it has been registered too! With this there are rumors now if Pokiri Returns is a badly framed spoof on Mahesh!Lets see whether Sampoo returns on this swanky bike in Pokiri returns film…

‘Generally all directors bring high Blood Pressure to me with their yelling, but this young-man is bringing me low BP with his silence’, Posani quipped, while shooting of the flick is going on. With some crucial comic sequences of him clicking big time, writer-director Posani Krishnamurali became a busiest comedian in Tollywood now. There is almost no big hero’s film without his presence as his ‘raja’ timing brings the house to quick laughs.

Forthcoming ‘Rowdy Fellow’ features Posani in yet another crucial role as he acts as a side-kick of main villan played by Rao Ramesh. While shooting for the flick, our ‘Mental Krishna’ got stunned by the silent and cool attitude of director turned lyricist Krishna Chaitanya. Even when a shot goes haywire, when actors don’t give their best and when they skip their lines, this young director never took to shouting and that cool attitude has shocked Posani Krishnamurali. Wish the new director’s coolness pays off big time tomorrow (Nov 21) with ‘Rowdy Fellow’ featuring Nara Rohit and Visakha Singh gets ready for the release.

Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan entered into wedlock with her longtime lover Aayush Sharma in a grand ceremony at Taj Falakunuma in Hyderabad. Many celebrities graced the wedding and blessed the newly wed. As she is getting ready to enjoy her marital bliss, Arpita left all in tears with her emotional speech at the wedding. 

Arpita who prepared a speech to thank her loving family climbed the dais but couldn’t control her emotions as she choked. She requested Priyanka Chopra to read her speech on her behalf. In her speech she said she was lucky to have a family like her and Sohail Bhai and she shared the same room till he got married and they lived like friends. 

She said Arbaaz guided her differentiating good and bad for her and she cannot do anything wrong for Salman bhai as he used to support her whatever she does. She also thanked her parents Salim Khan and Salma Khan and also Helen. Many felt that her speech was like anniversary gift to Salim and Salma who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Of course, there is no official disclosure about the amount of remuneration our star directors’ charge. But we could sense a whiff from trade pundits and some insider revelations. Going by such reports, we have to say that perfectionist director SS Rajamouli charges nearly 15 crores to carve out a flick. And now, he is beaten it seems. Apparently, mass-action director Vinayak is a big league director but is not in the elite league of two-digit crore clubs.

Things have changed massively with Bellamkonda Suresh offering him something he couldn’t deny to launch his son Srinivas. For Alludu Seenu, Vinayak was paid a bomb including a villa in posh Jubilee Hills area. A birdie from Annapurna Studios has now revealed that he demanded much more from King Nagarjuna to wield megaphone for Akhil’s debut flick. The ‘Tagore’ director is pocketing more than 16 crores, they add. In that case, Vinayak is charging more than Rajamouli for sure.

After dilly dallying for a longtime, Pawan Kalyan has finally zeroed in on Anisha Ambrose as the female lead for his much-anticipated film Gabbar Singh 2. Now he yet again begin his hunt and we hear that this is for the second heroine in the film. 

Unlike the original franchise Gabbar Singh, Gabbar Singh 2 said to have two heroines. “The role of second fiddle is more like to rev up the glam quotient in the film. We’re looking for a girl who is sensuous, bubbly and active. A formal announcement would be made soon after the finalizing,” said a source in the know. 

Directed by Bobby (of Power fame), the movie which has seen several delays, is expected to hit the floors in December. Initially, director Sampath Nandi was supposed to helm the project, but later he walked out of it for various reasons.
