Pawan Kalyan’s latest film “Sardaar Gabbar Singh” shooting is going on at jet speed. As Pawan, his heroine Kajal and other unit members are camping in Gujarat, enjoying the winters there, fans here in Tollywood are enjoying each and every update coming from the sets.

As the film is coming out pretty well, with director KS Ravindra (Bobby) conceiving each scene very brilliantly, Pawan is said to be a happy man. While his creative team is embracing in the output, heroine Kajal and producer Sharat Marar are busy sharing interesting updates about the film.

Kajal is looking smoking hot in the movie as a special song is being filmed there in a royal palace in Vadodara. We hear that the unit will be shooting until December 8th in Gujarat and they will return to Hyderabad then.

Once their Gujarat saga gets wrapped, other heroines like Lakshmi Rai and Sanjana will also join the shoot. Meanwhile Devi Sri Prasad is said to be giving final touches to couple of other songs for the album of Sardaar Gabbar Singh. Watch this space for updates.

There is no bigger pressure than being a star kid in Tollywood and no one else but Raja Goutham knows it first hand. This son of star comedian Brahmanandam has been trying his luck in Tollywood ever since he debuted in films almost a decade ago. Goutham’s last film Basanthi also failed to push his career forward.

Now, Goutham is testing the waters once again with a crime comedy titled Vaade Veedu. The film will be directed by Ramesh Desena, a former associate of Gautham Menon. In a biggest scoop, the makers of the film have roped in Nara Rohith to play a crucial role.

As per the buzz, Nara Rohith will be playing a cop in this film and his role will not be a cameo but his presence will be felt throughout the film as he will be chasing Goutham, who plays a thief. The film will be launched in early next year once Nara Rohith is free from his ongoing projects.

Nikhil’s latest crime comedy, Shankarabharanam is all set for a grand release on December 4th. The actor who is already on a high with three back to back hits, is now eager to deliver fourth success with this film. In an interview to a lead Newspaper he revealed about the hard work went in to the film.

He said, “I spent 45 days in New York before the shooting of this film only to get in to the skin of the character. I play an NRI in the movie and so observed them from close quarters during my stay”. Nikhil pays a rich NRI in the film who is never been to India.

Kona Venkat has given story and screenplay. Kona had already revealed that the movie is a crime comedy with a Bihar backdrop and some incidents that he faced earlier this year have also acted as inspiration for few scenes.

Extramarital affairs and casual flings are nothing new in Bollywood. Often, B-town stars make headlines when their secret affairs are exposed by the media. But what the wife of a noted Bollywood actor did has shocked not just Bollywood but also the paparazzi.

A popular actor, who has a few well known Bollywood films and TV serials to his credit, was on an outdoor shoot at a hill station for his upcoming film. Apparently, the actor has been in a passionate fling with his co-actress, who is a popular face in the world of advertising and Bollywood, for quite some time.

During a shooting break, the actor and the said actress were having sex in his caravan and that was when the actor’s wife stormed into the sets and caught them red handed. Apparently, the devastated wife created a huge scene after seeing her husband in a compromising position with the actress.

The incident has now led the wife to apply for divorce. In the past, the actor’s alleged affair was in the news but he managed to hush it up. His co-actress endorses a popular fairness cream brand.

Couple of days ago, fans and followers of Siddharth were in for a huge shock when he, out of the blue, tweeted a harsh tweet saying, “That moment when you realize that what you thought was the worst thing that happened to you is actually the best thing that happened to you.”

Even as all the Sid’s fans were busy decoding the cryptic tweet, his ex-lover and leading actress down south Samantha added fuel to the curious speculations as she tweeted, “That moment when I realize you’re just somebody I used to know.” That’s quite a piercing tweet indeed.

However, Samantha quickly deleted the tweet but not before it spread rampantly already. This got both Sam and Sid’s fans to decipher the inner meaning of both the stars’ tweets and they even tried to probe if the ex-lovebirds were entangled in a Twitter war.

Apparently, Sid is said to be moving closely with his Aaranmanai 2 actress Trisha and this further strained the equations between Sam and Sid, say some reports.

Academician and champion of Dalit rights, Kanchi Ilaiah is no stranger to controversy. He has had his tiffs with right wing organizations by being at the forefront of activities like organizing beef festivals in Osmania University and through articles and columns of his. Participating in a discussion organized by the ‘Times of India’, Kanchi Ilaiah said that had Sardar Vallabhai Patel become the PM of India, India would have gone on the lines of Pakistan. “He (Patel) wouldn’t have allowed Ambedkar to write the Constitution. He was close to Hindu Mahasabha… Believers of Manusmriti would’ve written it. We would’ve gone on the lines of Pakistan…our democracy would have collapsed. But for the first 17 years…India would’ve been Pakistan,” Ilaiah said. Integration of 550 princely states into India is no mean feat and it was achieved by Sardar Patel.

Hyderabad, which Mr. Ilaiah calls a home, would have become a part of Pakistan or an independent nation but for Sardar Patel (Much to Kavitha’s chagrin). On the other hand, the Kashmir problem and China conflicts, thanks to the leadership of Nehru continue to rankle the nation even today.Had there been no Sardar Patel, we wouldn’t have needed to draft a constitution in the first place for there would have been no Indian nation at all. If only people thought twice before voicing their opinions on one of the greatest sons of Mother India.

K Raghavendra Rao had made more than 100 movies as a director and he is regarded as one of the legends in Tollywood. His disciples like Rajamouli turned out to be most successful directors too. But unfortunately, his son is struggling to get a foothold as a director. One can now safely declare that Raghavendra Rao’s son K S Prakash Rao has delivered another dud with Size Zero as the collections for the first weekend of the movie are really low. While Anushka’s recent films have had staggering openings, Size Zero’s global collections for the first weekend are anything but superb.

Trade analysts say that producers will end up losing heavily. In the past, Prakash’s Anaganaga O Dheerudu which had Siddharth in the lead also failed miserably at the box office. Now, his second film has also met with the same fate. While his father and grandfather delivered many hits in Tollywood, Prakash is yet to make a name for himself.

While many producers are in queue to make movies with Trivikram Srinivas, one of the leading directors in Tollywood, Trivikram himself has other plans. He is not too keen to move out of the comfort zone he has with the Haarika Haasine Creations, the production house that has been making movies with the director. Going by the reports, Trivikram will also be directing their next film and he is currently directing a film for them.

Trivikram has reportedly signed a film that will star Suriya which will also be produced by Radha Krishna of Haarika Haasine Creations.The banner has so far produced three movies and all of them have been directed by Trivikram. Right now, A… Aa starring Nithin is on the floors. There have been rumours that the director is also a partner in the production house. Since he hasn’t moved out of the production house, the rumours have gathered momentum of late.

Superstar Mahesh Babu is focusing on expanding his market and it is on the top of his priority list now. Brahmotsavam is being made as a true bilingual in Tamil and Telugu and this will be the ‘tester bet’ for Mahesh in Tamil market. He is coming up with a big one to follow it up and to permanently capture the Tamil market. Other Telugu heroes are left far behind in this regard as Mahesh has come up with a master plan and executed it exceptionally well.

His next with Murugadoss is confirmed and all set to hit the floors by May/June 2016. It will be ready for release by summer 2017. Murugadoss is keen on expanding his own market in Telugu cinema to be up there and on par with that of Shankar’s. With Srimanthudu Mahesh has set a benchmark to reach for his contemporaries and when they are on a mission to break it, Mahesh is pushing the envelope with Murugadoss’s film. This is film is surely going to set some unassailable records unless the other heroes to come up with something that is as big as it in terms of scale and combination craze.

Super Star Mahesh Babu fans surely have a reason to celebrate. Their favourite hero is now endorsing ads of some national brands and it is indeed big news for them as he replaced Aamir in those ads. Already, Mahesh Babu fans are on cloud 9 as one of the mobile brands he endorses is on top in the country today.

Also, he is the brand ambassador for some national-level brands and that has given enough reason for Mahesh fans to celebrate. Some time back, Prabhas got to endorse a couple of ads after the success of Baahubali and after the success of Srimanthudu, Mahesh got to endorse all these new ads.
