Mumbai: Actress Parineeti Chopra has given her blessings to Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza with her own racket for the upcoming matches. Parineeti posted a photograph on Twitter on Sunday in which Sania can be seen taking blessings from the “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl” actress.

“Not that she needs it, but I gave her my ashirwad anyway!! Obviously with her own racquet!!! What a day,” Parineeti wrote alongside the image. Sania, who is currently women’s doubles World No.1, has made India proud by winning numerous women’s doubles titles at various international tournaments.

Director Srinu Vaitla who was hailed as one of the most bankable directors in Tollywood is struggling to find an opportunity now. Even superstars used to wait for their chance to work under him. But back to back disasters with Aagadu and Bruce Lee has hurt his reputation so much that even young heroes are not willing to work with him. Srinu Vaitla has reportedly narrated a story to Ram who didn’t say yes or no until now. Vaitla got the message loud and clear that he turned up at Naga Chaitanya’s office to narrate the same storyline.

Chaitanya is very busy at the moment to consider a movie with Vaitla it seems. Srinu Vaitla was on top exactly two years ago and everything has dramatically turned upside down for him. Not just Sreenu Vaitla even VV Vinayak will find it tough to find a film after Akhil’s debacle. Sticking to age old formula and not trying any variety is finally taking its toll on these star directors. It would be a gigantic task for them to bounce back from this state. They are talented enough to do that and let’s hope it will happen soon for their own and Telugu Cinema’s prosperity.

Our readers are aware that Creative director Krishna Vamshi is working on a film in Dil Raju’s Production for his next project. He is trying to rope in Anushka for the movie which will have five other young actors in its ranks.

We are said that the movie is going to be a low budget film and the only major expense will he Anushka’s remuneration. The movie is reportedly of horror genre and will be made in limited working days. Rudraksha is the title in consideration.

Krishna Vamshi’s last outing, Govindhudu Andhari Vaadele is an average grosser at the box office. We will have to see if this new project will be a comeback film for the ace director.

Ace distributor Dil Raju had bagged the Nizam Rights of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Dictator. The price of this deal is not revealed but they say Dil Raju shelled out a fancy amount to bag the rights. Dil Raju last distributed a Balayya film several years ago and that is for Chenna Kesava Reddy.

So he is doing that again after several years. He tried to bag Legend Nizam rights but that did not happen. Dictator is being planned for Sankranthi-2016 release. The shooting is currently progressing at brisk pace. The makers have already announced that the audio launch event will happen on December 20th in Amaravati.

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Dictator team had flown to Harayana the other day. The shooting began there in Noor Mahal and will go on for three days from today. The movie unit till shift to Delhi on 26th and will shoot there till December 3rd.

The shooting of the entire talkie part will be completed by the end of the Delhi schedule. The audio launch event will happen in Amaravati on 20th December and the movie is on the way for Sankranthi-2016.

Post Production works are already happening simultaneously. Loukyam fame Srivas is wielding megaphone for this movie. He is also the co-producer of the film along with Eros International. Anjali and Sonal Chauhan are the heroines.

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus film, Baahubali is the costliest film ever made in Telugu Cinema history. Both the parts of the film are estimated at a cost of 40 Million USD but the costs are being escalated beyond that now.

Producer Shobu Yarlagadda in a media interview revealed that they have decided to scale up the production to make the second part more rich and grand. As a result the movie budget will now go up to 50 Million USD.

That will mean that they are putting 25% more than that of the initial estimates. The regular shooting of the film will begin on December 16th and the movie is planned towards the end of 2016. 40% complete of the movie shooting is already complete along with the first part shoot.

Ram Gopal Varma and Kona Venkat worked earlier on as a team for marvelous films like ‘Sathya.’ However, they both are on different levels now and here is a competition to be assumed on the cards between Kona and Rgv to happen on December 4 in the form of clash between Rgv ‘Killing Veerappan’ and Kona ‘Sankarabharanam’ hitting screens on same day.

‘Killing Veerappan’ is a story based on Indian bandit or say Sandalwood smuggler Veerappan and the way Operation Cocoon is executed to capture him. The docu-dram-thriller film written and directed by Rgv has earlier on impressed with superb trailer and now Rgv is optimistic to repeat the same magic on screen.

While Sandeep Bharadwaj is playing Veerappan, the forest brigand, the Kannada star hero Shiv Raj Kumar portrayed SP Senthamarai Kannan, the master mind behind Operation Cocoon. It will be worth a wait to see Box Office battle between Kona’s ‘Sankarabharanam’ filled with good casting of Nikhil, Anjali, Nanditha taking on relatively zero cast value of ‘Killing Veerappan.’

Big boss is the big show of India. Bollywood’s every big cinema adorns that stage to promote their movie. With Tamasha’s release just few weeks away it’s Deepika that went to the Big boss 9 house and the audience were assured of a big huge fun gala.

Not only did Deepika stay in the house for a Night, she also played many fun games in the house. She helped Mandana and prince. Deepika and Salman also danced for a hit number Matargashti from Tamasha. Deepika was third star entrant into the set after Daisy shah and Zareen khan.

Coming to the biggest flash of the day Deepika while playing a game of questions with Salman similar to a game Ved and Taara play in Tamasha, Deepika Knelt down on her knees and Proposed Salman!! Salman caught off guard though felt a little embarrassed at Deepika’s sudden dare was blushing whole through the act and called it a bad idea of her’s apart from rejection it.

Along with Prabhas, even Anushka had committed the mistake of accepting Deva Sena character in ‘Bahubali’ because both their roles aren’t as exhilarating as that of Bhallala Deva that is Daggubati Rana. This is one of the popular comments which found its own takers soon after the release of ‘Bahubali – The Beginning.’ While Rajamouli stood un-reacted, Box Office showed its own reaction providing a tough answer for all the critics.

Well, Anushka is here to react on Deva Sena characterization. ‘After seeing my look of Deva Sena in first part, many people were wondered on why I took up this role which is devoid of glamour and importance. I just request such people to wait till the second part releases. You will soon understand that, Deva Sena is a dream role for any actress. Having worked with Rajamouli sir on ‘Vikramarkudu,’ I blindly trust him,’ Sweety answered a question.

Currently on a weight losing process as her early preparation for Deva Sena characterization in ‘Bahubali – The Conclusion,’ looks like Anushka is so happy to dedicate a year or more of time in making of this magnum opus.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam was planned to be a bilingual at the start. But now the makers have dropped the idea citing time constraints. Instead it will be dubbed in to Tamil now. Mahesh Babu will still dub for his character of the Tamil version.

The bilingual is planned to increases Mahesh’s market there but shooting for both the versions may make it difficult for Summer release and so the idea is dropped. The next schedule of the film will happen in RFC from 29th.

After that schedule, they will fly to Ooty for a major schedule from December 10th. Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal and Pranitha are playing the female leads in this film. Srikanth Addala who delivered a super hit to Mahesh with Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is hoping to recreate the magic once again.

Statements from writer Sukumar and director Palnati Surya Pratap are quite attention grabbing because they both are firmly pleading that ‘Kumari 21 F’ is a bold story written by Sukku based on his real time life experiences during college days. In fact, Sukumar has experienced a character like Kumari in his college life and shocking incidents there of connected with her are just given a screen representation.

However, critics from one more side are providing strong references from ‘Lila Says’ and ‘Secret In Their Eyes’ copy-pasted by Sukumar in ‘Kumari 21 F.’ The debate of plagiarism and original creativity might go on for few more weeks but the overall Box Office result matters the most. Collections for ‘Kumari’ were reported to be super strong on weekend and house-fulls recorded in almost all centers.

Whatever might be the Sukumar’s real intention, his aim to succeed at Box Office is finally realized. ‘Kumari 21 F’ is considered as one of the decent youthful hits in recent times making sure that money will be minted for few more weeks till the real threats arrive.

At a tender age of 21, the stiff criticism and sky rocketing expectations from Fans have put Akkineni Akhil under volumes of stress. Commercially disastrous result of ‘Akhil’ has also put the youngster in further chaotic situation and he seems to have understood the dynamic filmy equations with the very first assignment. Of course, his age and experiences aren’t matching but that is how a super star is born.

Going unaddressed after ‘Akhil’ release, inner reports from Akkineni camp say that Akhil is slowly recovering from the dismal result. ‘He does want to commit even a single mistake for the debut project. Thorough ground work, bundles of tasks, Akhil had an uphill battle with every song and every action episode. When all such labor work goes unrecognized at Box Office, it is painful for the young boy,’ said the same source.

Definitely, Akhil has a reason to worry not just because of ‘Akhil’ failure but also in selecting his second film. While some say, he should pick a youthful love story with refreshing subject, some others recommended him to follow the same mass, action genre where he is best and capable at. Now, the real test begins for Akhil.
