A lot of young starlets step into Tollywood and test their luck each Friday. However, only a very few make the cut and attract the industry’s attention. One such actress who impressed everyone lately is the young and vivacious Kannada beauty Nikki Galrani.

Nikki Galrani is the younger sister of Prabhas’ Bujjigadu heroine Sanjjana Galrani. The 23-year-old beauty first made her acting debut in Malayalam in 2014 with the film 1983 and even won a Filmfare for Best Debut Actress.

Last Friday, Nikki appeared in not just one but two films, Krishnashtami and Malupu. Even though both her debut films failed to set the cash registers ringing, Tollywood filmmakers already took notice of Nikki’s bubbly performance and glamorous looks and she is now one of the most sought after actresses among the younger lot.

Who knows, with a wise story selection and a couple of solid hits, Nikki may even enter the big league soon.

Tollywood filmmakers have introduced many foreign beauties. While most of the starlets were roped in only for glamour exhibition, the makers of Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamannah Bhatia starrer Oopiri (Thozha in Tamil) have a reason for zeroing in the foreign talent Gabriella Demetriades in their film. Gabriella has essayed an important role opposite Nagarjuna in the emotional and pleasant saga.

She has all praises for her co-stars, especially Nagarjuna. Gabriella says, it was lovely working with Nagarjuna who according to her is a natural actor makes his co-stars feel comfy. “I played the role of a girl he (Nagarjuna) meets while traveling and opens up a different side of him,” discloses Gabriella.

Born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Gabriella moved to India almost seven years ago. She had a very successful modeling career and waited for right film for film debut. She feels Oopiri is the film she anticipated such long time for film entry.

Directed by Vamsi Paidipally and produced under PVP Cinemas, Oopiri is done with production works and currently post production works are underway. The feel good movie is due for release on March 25th.

With just his third release Subrahmanyam For Sale, young Mega Hero Sai Dharam Tej acquired the title Supreme, a title his uncle Chiranjeevi earned even before her became a Megastar. Not stopping there, Sai even got his upcoming film titled as Supreme.

And for his next film, the young hero is all set to turn Gang Leader for his next film under the direction of Gopichand Malineni. Now, one needs no introduction to this iconic yesteryear film which had Sai’s uncle Chiru setting the screens ablaze with his out and out mass avatar.

For the latest Gang Leader, Sai got popular producer Nallamalupu Bujji to bankroll the film. Since last year, there have been several reports that Gopichand Malineni will team up with another young Mega hero Varun Tej for a sports based action drama. One wonders if Gopichand has tweaked the same subject for Sai now.

Fans express their fondness towards favorite stars in different ways. A diehard fan of Power Star Pawan Kalyan has displayed his fanism in wedding cards by printing the actor’s picture, his political party Jana Sena symbol on them. He invited all the Pawan Kalyan fans for the wedding to be taken place in Andhra Pradesh capital city- Amaravati.

We can say it as fanism at peaks. Usually, gods and other religious based pictures are to be printed on wedding cards. Apparently, this hard core fan admires Pawan Kalyan like god like many other fans.

In the past, we have seen Jana Sena ganapathi idols and statues were installed in several places of Telugu states. Now, this fan took his fanism to wedding cards. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan who floated Jana Sena Party long ago is yet to make his direct entry into politics.

His Jana Sena Party is expected to compete in next general elections in alliance with NDA parties- TDP and BJP. On film front, Pawan Kalyan is busy wrapping up his ongoing project Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Directed by Bobby, the mass action entertainer is set to release worldwide on April 8th.

Young hero Nani is on full swing with back to back hits. His last couple of films Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gaadha are commercial hits. Now, Nani is coming up with yet another romantic entertainer being directed by Mohanakrishna Indraganti who introduced him as hero with Ashta Chemma.

The yet to be titled film’s first look has been unveiled today on the special eve of Nani’s birthday (February 24th). Nani is looking stylish with black shades and grown beard, but his expressions are serious in the picture. Surabhi and Niveda Thomas are female leads opposite Nani.

Yesteryear composer Mani Sharma has been zeroed into render songs. Last time, he worked on background score for Akhil. PG Vinda is cinematographer, Marthand K Venkatesh is editor and S Ravinder is art director for the flick.

Advance birthday wishes for Nani!

Here is childhood picture of south star actress Kajal Agarwal. The little Kajal was cute in her childhood photograph. Sat on sofa, holding rose on her hand, the little charming Kajal had posed like an angel. Her parents might not have predicted on that day that she would become an actress and rule south India as top starlet one day.

Kajal was a bright student. In her final year of college, she did internship with Loreal and started her modeling career. Kajal endorses a large number of popular brands. Before starting her film career, she had acted in commercials as a model.

In the interim, she is working for two much awaited Telugu flicks- Pawan Kalyan starrer Sardaar Gabbar Singh and Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam. Even after a decade career in industry, she is still getting some juicy offers in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. Great going Kajal!

Film Shootings are not going to be like before. The shootings have gone drastic changes of late. Unlike before, fully equipped AC shooting floors have come into place in the film studios making it easy for actors which changed the scene in recent times.

So actors don’t need to sweat it out in shootings and could easily shoot ‘aaram se’. Star heroes and heroines are now preferring these AC floors. This in turn is taking a toll on film producers who’re digging deep into their pockets to spend on the rents for these floors in studios.

All leading film studios are providing these AC floors which cost around Rs 1 to Rs 1.5 Lakh per day including the lights. Even the shooting of songs, action sequences are being shot in these AC floors in specially erected sets. Even small-actors are now getting used to these AC floors.

Outdoor shootings domestically have come down. The situation for shooting in foreign locations is no different. Even there, actors are not moving out of their comfort zone. Climatic conditions are considered in advance before going there for shoot and producers are paying huge bills.
