Puri-Prabhas' New Title 'Ek Niranjan'




The crazy director Puri Jagannadh is currently busy with the groundwork of making the movie with young rebel star Prabhas. Their earlier combination came up with ‘Bujjigadu, made in Chennai’ and it turned out to be an average fare at the box office.

Now, there is news that Puri has decided to name the movie ‘Ek Niranjan’ and Puri has set a brand of his own with his unusual titles. Some of his movies like ‘Pokiri’ ‘Desamuduru’ ‘Idiot’ brought great success at the box office but at the same time films ‘Neninthe’ bombed miserably.

It now remains to be seen what he wants to convey through this movie of his. Many in the industry are keen to see if he is going to throw satire at someone just like his earlier movie. Meanwhile, Prabhas is gearing up to arrive with his much talked about movie ‘Billa’.

The popular actress amongst Telugu and Tamil audience, Sangeetha got married to playback singer Krish recently. She has a niche for herself with her versatile portrayal of characters but her continuance in cinema after marriage was bit doubtful until now.

The actress has signed up for a new film in Tamil, a sequel to the hit ‘Naan Avan Illai’ erasing any possible questions over her career in films.

Did the family oriented script that offered a poised role for Sangeetha made her accept it?

Answering the question, she said, “Everyone knows that I have done laudable roles earlier even before my marriage and I will continue to do so if the script is good. Krish has never questioned me working in films. You know what! Even he is interested to act in films. Even though, a few offers came his way he’s waiting for the apt script to make his first stint. But, his first passion is music and acting always comes next.”

Song with 1000 dancers in Rajini’s Robo

Recently, Maniratnam canned a song for Raavana in Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai with 500 accompanying dancers.

Ambassador for Pepsi



Mega Power star Ram Charan Tej who is the son of Megastar Chiranjeevi is all set to become the brand ambassador of Pepsi cool drink.

This advertisement is already making waves in all the telugu news channels and will be released to other channels in few days time.

Ram Charan Tej who is now the Pepsi brand ambassador will be going on road shows not for his father’s Prajarajyam Party but for Pepsi. This is what we say ” One shot two birds”. These road shows of Ram Charan Teja will promote Pepsi as well as boost up his father Chiranjeevi’s political campaigning because Ram Charan is now being marked as the youth icon of Andhra Pradesh.

It should be noted here that all the family heroes of Chiranjeevi were the brand ambassadors and also acted in or the other cool drink ads. Chiranjeevi for Thumps-up, Pawan Kalyan for Pepsi, Allu Arjun for 7Up and Ram Charan for Pepsi. So it not new for Ram Charan to do this ad because acting in cool drink ads is flowing in the blood.

All the best Ram Charan Teja……

'Sasirekha Parinayam'



The latest flick 'Sasirekha Parinayam' which was released about couple of months ago is back in the news for obvious reasons. It all happened when the movie was telecast on a satellite channel which triggered a furor in the film and television industry circles. For the first time in the history of Telugu TV, that a film was telecast within the 100 days of its release. Many people in Film industry are showing displeasure on this as it will make an impact on the upcoming releases

Ileana and Ravi Teja Rock


Ileana and Ravi Teja came together in Khatarnak for the first time and the film did average to good business, the pairing was appreciated then but the pair never rocked, but that is not the case this time around, Ravi Teja and Ileana have decided to rock and take their pairing to a new high.

Insider news is that their pairing is looking great on screen and scenes where the two appear together are either filled with great comedy or scintillating romance.

Even the songs for this movie are to be picturised in a raunchy manner and many insist that the film would be a must-watch as and when it would release. Great going guys, keep up the good work!!

Nayantara Enquired About Anushka's ?


After the super success of her last release ‘Arundhati’, the voluptuous beauty Anushka has reached a new high and many say that she has left Ileana, Trisha behind to clinch the top spot. Now, Anushka is taking things by few extra miles and cementing her position with her forthcoming venture.

It is known news that Anushka will soon be seen clad in a bikini and all this is happening for the film ‘Billa’ that is a remake of the Tamil superhit movie with the same title. It is the same Tamil flick that caused a revolution since it had the hot Malayalam beauty Nayantara who did the bikini act and created a major sensation.

It is now heard that Nayan has been getting in touch with her sources in the industry and trying to find out how best the bikini act of Anushka has come along and a comparative analysis of sorts is said to be happening right now. It is but obvious that the audience will make their comparisons once the movie releases so it appears that Nayan is doing a pre-poll survey of sorts. Only time will tell who will get to be the true beauty in a bikini.

Ileana sacrificed movie for friend?


The latest buzz in film nagar is that the Andhala Khazana Ileana was earlier offered the movie 'Varudu' to star opposite Prince Mahesh. But by knowing that her best friend Parvati Melton is pinning her hopes on this project, she refused the proposal. It is heard that the friendship between Ileana and Parvati Melton was blossomed on the sets of Jalsa and it gradually strengthened over time. But sadly her sacrifice for friendship was whacked as the offer eventually went to Anushka.

Chandrababu Sees Future CM In Jr NTR

Ever since young tiger NTR Jr has got into the political fray, a lot has been spoken about him and even he has been speaking a lot. Since the first impact is always important, NTR has created a very strong impact not just among the masses but also among the Telugu Desam circles.

It is known that Chandrababu Naidu had high hopes on NTR’s political canvassing and so far it has been working out. So now, it is being said that Naidu is looking at NTR as the most prospective successor to him in terms of not only leading the party but also the state as the Chief Minister.

This opinion is said to be seconded by even Yerramnaidu who is said to be one of the crucial members of the TDP think tank. Sources say that Yerram had expressed his view after having watched NTR in action during the Srikakulam trip. Many were seeing Yerram beaming with pride when NTR was rolling out his words. One wonders what the Young Tiger has to say to all this. Frm GreatAndhra

Rajiv Kanakala is the lead actor. The film is directed by Kodandarami Reddy and SA Rajkumar has scored the music for the film.

Prabhas eager to see Billa



Hero Prabhas has not had a big hit in recent times. His last big attempt, the Puri Jagannath directed film ‘Bujjigadu made in Chennai’ was a flop.

Prabhas now wants to see the release of the film at the earliest. The film has been produce on a lavish scale and director Mehar Ramesh is confident that it will become one of the biggest hits in the career of Prabhas.

Krishnam Raju is one of the big attractions while Namitha, Anushka and Hansika’s item song are the other attractions.

If all goes well, then the chances are that the famous director Bommarillu Bhaskar might be teaming up with Charan for his new venture and while the genre of the movie is not known yet, it is heard that the script writing process is on and Bhaskar is camping at Vizag for the same.

Inside sources say that the movie will mostly be a family entertainer filled with sentiment and this could be a challenge to Charan since his first movie got him close to the masses and the second one is most likely going to be in similar lines.

Nagarjuna & Radha act together with their children Published by admin



Nagarjuna, the Yuvasamrat of Tollywood is in a trip to Australia as he is being pressurized by CM of Andhra Pradesh Mr. YSR. So, in order to escape the political campaigning, the star hero will be out on a vacation for a month.

Meanwhile, according to sources, Nagarjuna along with yesteryears actress Radha is all set to act in their children’s film. It is a fact that producer DIL Raju is producing a film which features Naga Chaitanya, son of Nagarjuna as a hero and Karthika, daughter of Radha as a heroine.

In order to pep up the movie the two celebrities will be making a guest appearance in the movie. Some sources reveal that Nagarjuna and Radha have shot for this scene last week and are delighted to share the screen space along with their children.

Meera is married?





The hottest buzz in Kollywood is that the Kerala Kutty Meera Jasmine married her boyfriend Rajesh brother of renowned musician Mandolin Srinivas. It is heard that Malayalam beauty Meera Jasmine and Rajesh have been seeing each other for a while and everyone in industry were gossiping about the couple. The buzz is that both have gone through a secret marriage and are currently living together in Chennai.

The hot Priyamani is the heroine and she has done some steamy numbers and also a rain song for Mithurudu. Chandramohan, Pradeep Rawat, Jayaprakash Reddy, Jhansi, Tanikella Bharani and others are in the star cast.

Meena once again refuse marriage


It is said that Meena has cancell the her marraige at least in 10 times after secret engagements.The talk is Meena's mother does not want to give her daughter married to another man and loose her income

Ileana refused Mahesh Babu’s Varudu


Like other film industries, Tollywood too has its share of professional bickerings and catfights, but a few young stars seem to get along like a house on fire.

It re-affirms the faith that ‘human bonding’ can break all boundaries, even in professions where competition is the driving force. Undoubtedly, there may be many more friends in the film fraternity but we are just talking about a couple of friendships which indicate that actors do value personal relationships over professional considerations.

Can stars sharing the same profession be good friends? “Why not?” Ram Charan retorts. It is well-known that Ram Charan Tej and Allu Arjun are buddies and are always seen together. “Recently, Arjun heard a script for one of his films but later sent it to me. When I heard it, I felt that it was an amazing script, but he felt that I would suit the role better and sent it across to me,” he says. Ram Charan believes that friendships are sustained by giving considerable ‘personal and professional space’ and are built on mutual trust.

Similarly, we discovered that Ileana was also caught in a professional dilemma due to her friendship with Parvati Melton. The friendship between Ileana and Parvati Melton happened on the sets of Jalsa and it gradually strengthened over time. Recently, Ileana was reluctant to replace her friend Parvati, despite it being a plum offer opposite Mahesh Babu. “She was unwilling to take it up and we realised that it was due to her friendship with Parvati. The role finally went to another actress,” says Giridhar, manager to both Ileana and Parvati.

And there are more friendships, some quiet… some flamboyant. Actors like Prabhas and Gopichand have been friends for over a decade. The stars who shared screen space in Varsham have never flaunted their friendship, but new entrants like Varun Sandesh and Nikhil like declaring their friendship. “I threw a party to celebrate Varun’s hit film and vice versa,’ says Nikhil, who is happy to have such a ‘trustworthy’ buddy with whom he can discuss all matters under the sun.

Ram Charan’s Magadheera postponed


The much awaited film of hero Ram Charan ‘Magadheera’ will not hit the screens in April as announced earlier. The film has been postponed and it will now hit the screens only in May.

The reason for the postponement is the announcement of election schedule. The people in the state would be busy with electioneering that will be completed only on April 23.

Magadheera stars Kajal Agarwal as the heroine and Sri Hari in an important role. The film is directed by SS Rajamouli and produced by Allu Aravind on the Geeta Arts banner.

Mumaith ready to introduce sister


Mumaith Khan is the hottest and the best item song girl in Tollywood today. She rose to the top in a short span of time and sent the item girls like Abhinayasri into hibernation.

Mumaith Khan has now risen to the position of a heroine and she is acting in the title role in many films.

Mumaith’s ‘Punnami Nagu’ is now getting ready for release. Mumaith Khan is well settled in Tollywood and is now planning to introduce her younger sister Jubaida Khan in Telugu.

Mumaith sent her to attend the audio launch function of Punnami Nagu in her place.
Jubaida turned many heads with her sensuous looks and arresting features.

No Charan and No Aurjun


Megastar Chiranjeevi has declared that neither his nephew Allu Arjun nor his son Ramcharan Teja will participate in the election campaign for his Praja Rajyam Party.

Reacting to the reports, Chiranjeevi said the two heroes are too young to come into politics and they have a lot of future in the film industry. He refused to react to Jr NTR’s campaign and his criticism against PRP during the road shows.

The reason for Chiru’s refusal to rope in Allu Arjun and Ramcharan is not beyond one’s understanding. Chiramjeevi himself had been a hero with megastar image. He thinks he has enough charisma to attract voters. If he brings in the young heroes into the campaign, people might think Chiranjeevi has no confidence on his own image and therefore, he is taking the help of young heroes. Already, Chiru is said to be envious of his younger brother Pavan Kalyan, who proved to be a better speaker than him. So, that is the reason!

Sridevi Engageed !

No confusions here folks, we are not talking about the eternal diva of all times but this Sridevi happens to be the darling daughter of the film couple Vijaykumar and Manjula. She was recently seen in the movie ‘Manjeera’ and right now she is entering a new league of life.

The pretty starlet got engaged to one Rahul and the event happened yesterday at the residence of the would-be bride in Chennai. Rahul happens to be from Hyderabad and he owns a software firm which means that Sridevi is now the new daughter in law for the Telugu circuit.

The engagement ceremony was said to be quite colorful and some of the noted personalities from the Kollywood circles such as Parthiban, Radhika, Sundar C, Kushboo, Lakshmi, Meena, Sanghavi, Sangeetha, K S Ravi Kumar and many others were present to wish the would be couple. Hearty Congrats Sridevi and Rahul!!!
