Speculations are rife that, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone who is making her Hollywood debut with XXX: The Return of Xander Cage will be part of SS Rajamouli’s high-budget entertainer Baahubali: The Conclusion.

According to the reports, Baahuabli 2 will have a crucial lady role for which the makers have approached Deepika Padkone. However, the fact is, Deepika is no way associated with the film. In fact, she may not accept the film, even though Baahubali 2 makers approach her, due to her busy schedules.

Earlier there were reports that, actress Shriya Saran was approached to play Rana Daggubati’s wife in Baahubali 2. Contrary to the reports, the actress stated that, she would feel happy if get a chance to work in the film, but none from the production unit have approached her for any role.

Meanwhile, Baahubali 2 shooting is progressing in Hyderabad. The first part has won National award. So, Rajamouli is putting extra efforts to make the second part more entertaining.

The makers of Pawan Kalyan-starrer Telugu actioner “Sardaar Gabbar Singh”, which is slated for release in theatres on April 8, have used over 100 fighters for a crucial action block around the interval time.

“Approximately 80 to 120 fighters are used for this special sequence. The fight plays a significant role in the film as it changes the entire mood of the film and sets a new tone. The movie, which runs on entertainment mode until the interval, enters into serious mode post-interval,” read a statement.

Tipped to be a treat for action lovers, the film promises to give audiences value for the buck.

“The film’s fight episodes are very well-conceived, smartly written and meticulously executed, thus making ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ a good action film that action-lovers should look out for,” the statement added.

“And if these are not just enough, high-end camera equipment like Phantom Dolly, Hexacopter flying cameras and Gimbal cameras have been used to enhance the experience of action scenes,” the statement further added.

Directed by K.S Ravindra, “Sardaar Gabbar Singh” also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Sharad Kelkar and Kabir Duhan Singh.

Small screen actress Pratyusha Banerjee of Balika Vadhu fame found dead at her Kandivali residence in Mumbai. She hanged herself, but was detected and taken to the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital where she succumbed. Police are investigating the possible reason that may have prompted Pratyusha to resort to the extreme step and they will be relying on the postmortem.

The police are also suspecting some criminal action in this awful event as Pratyusha’s body apparently had a faint rope mark on her neck. Her left cheek was wounded and blood was coming out from her mouth.

Nonetheless, there are rumors that Pratyusha was in deep stress over a failed love affair with Rahul Singh, her co-star of the reality show Power Couple.

As per the reports, Rahul looked quiet and unmoved by the circumstances during his stay at the hospital and left the place in urgency on alleged reason that he was booking flight tickets for Pratyusha’s parents. While speaking to a national media house, Ajaz Khan, Pratyusha’s co-participant of Bigg Boss said, “I don’t think its suicide. I think it’s a planned murder.”

One of Pratyusha’s close friend also clarified that, she was strong, so that she cannot commit suicide. Same kind of incident happened couple of years ago.

Actress Jiah Khan committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence. Her boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi was suspected in the matter. He was arrested, but walked out of the jail on bail.

Union Urban Minister Venkaiah Naidu, who watched Oopiri in Hyderabad on Saturday, heaped in praises on Nagarjuna-Karthi starrer film. Lauding the film, Naidu appreciated producer PVP for making a movie sans obscenity, vulgarity. “Making a meaningful film has become rarity.

Right from start to end, director made it interesting throughout the film. And the film hasn’t compromised on values. Any film should have either entertainment or knowledge or message. Oopiri has all three elements making it a must watch. Nagarjuna’s acting as quadriplegic is brilliant.

He’s reminding me of Nageswara Rao,” said Venkaiah Naidu talking to media outside the theatre. Naidu further recalled the good old times and said he’s happy to see a modern film based on friendship, love, relation. With the film declared to be hit, producer PVP is naturally on cloud nine.

Happy with the responses from all corners, PVP thanks Mr Venkaiah Naidu for his compliments. “Last night Venkaiah Naidu garu called me and told me he’s been hearing great news about Oopiri. He expressed his wish to see the film and hence special show has been arranged for him. I’m glad that he liked the film very much,” said PVP.

Bellamkonda Suresh, who started his career as a production manager, has come a long way and went onto become successful producer. After producing several big-budget films with stars like NTR, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, there was no stopping for Suresh. Suresh had earned a name for paying staggering remunerations to stars.

Suresh stands in the front row in paying hefty cheques to stars and increasing their fees drastically. However, poor financial management, lack of proper planning pushed him to troubles. Now, Suresh filmy career is on a downward spiral.

It all started with debacles of his production ventures Rabhasa, Alludu Seenu. Though Alludu Seenu managed to clock in good revenue than expected, the film’s over-budget took a toll on Suresh leaving him mired in debts. Although he managed to clear them to an extent, he still had few bad debts.

With recent film Speedunnodu, for which Suresh said to have funded the project, suffered colossal loss, Suresh woes increased drastically. Though he might have sold the film to buyers for a good price, but buyers who lost a chunk of money are mounting pressure on Suresh to compensate their losses.

If this is not enough, recently Kotak Mahindra Bank seized his office in Film Nagar for non payment of debt and reports also surfaced that Suresh sold of his own house and moved to a rented flat to overcome this financial situation.

Many star heroes who once did films with him are shunning away to work with him knowing of Suresh’s current situation. It’s sad to see a big Telugu producer going through such phase. Hope Suresh will soon overcome this phase and will make a comeback.
