Nara Rohith signed a 2 film contract with hotshot producer Sai Korrapati. Already, the Nara hero is shooting for Raja Cheyyi Vesthe which is being produced by Sai Korrapati. From early next year, Rohith will be shooting for a lighthearted romantic entertainer titled Jo Achyutananda. The film will be directed by actor cum director Avasarala Srinivas.

New revelations suggest that Jo Achyutananda is a multistarrer and it will also star the director’s debut hero Naga Shaurya. In the film, Nara Rohith and Naga Shaurya will be playing brothers. The film is interestingly titled after the names of Nara Rohith, Naga Shaurya and the heroine’s roles, Jyothi, Achyuta Ramarao and Ananda Vardhana Rao respectively.

Revealing these details to a popular media house, the director said that he is on a hunt for a suitable heroine and that he will finalize the female lead by January, before he goes on to shoot the film in February.

Almost since more than a year, the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster Kaththi has been a talk of the industry and fans of several star heroes. In the past, stars like Pawan Kalyan, NTR and Allu Arjun were considered for this much discussed remake. However, none of them gave their nod.

Since the last 2, 3 months, there have been intense discussions that Megastar Chiranjeevi will remake Kaththi as his comeback film in VV Vinayak’s direction. Ram Charan even said that an official announcement will be made after Dasara. However, there has been no noise on the film now, post the debacle of VV Vinayak’s latest film Akhil.

This terrible delay by Tollywood filmmakers has now resulted in Kaththi finally going to Bollywood first. Latest buzz is that Bollywood action star Akshay Kumar will be starring in the Hindi remake of Kaththi to be directed by AR Murugadoss’ assistant Jagan. The film be produced by Murugadoss himself.

This means that the Hindi version will be releasing first and even if the Telugu remake is ever made, it is highly unlikely that the Telugu audiences will sustain their interest for Kaththi for long. Is this the end of Kaththi in Tollywood?

Brand Promotion exists in Telugu films for a long time. Premium Brands pay some money to film makers to get some visibility in the films which will help the registering of brands in audience. Now Producer Potluri Vara Prasad (PVP) is selling his own brand in his next film, Size Zero.

There is a a slimming center in the film which gives its customers some points. A company offers money for these points and that money can be used to help an orphanage. The company is called PVP in the movie.

Size Zero and its Tamil version will see the light on 27th of this month. The film is a romantic comedy in which Anushka will be seen as an obese. Veteran director Raghavendra Rao’s son, Prakash Kovelamudi is directing the film.

Of late, there has been severe criticism against the boring and monotonous platter of comedy being served by the legendary king of comedy Brahmanandam in almost all his recent films. Especially, the star comedian’s humor acts backfired and failed to tickle the funny bones of his fans in films like Bruce Lee and Shivam, where the makers banked heavily on Brahmanandam.

However, scorning off the ‘stale and boring comedy’ criticism that he has been facing in his latest interview, Brahmanandam said he simply acts the way his writers and directors design and ask him to execute his characters. “I do what my directors and writers ask me to do. I can’t argue with them that this character is routine or similar to my earlier films,” said Brahmi, who also said that he does not take the criticism seriously.

Brahmi, who has acted in more than 1000 films till date, also said that he has not yet though about retiring from films until now. “By god’s grace, I have made people laugh all these years and I will continue as long as I can,” said the legend. Currently, Brahmi is totally busy with at least 10-15 films in hand, the prominent ones being Sardaar Gabbar Singh, Bengal Tiger, Soggade Chinni Nayana, Loafer and Soukhyam etc.

To keep it simple, technology wise we are no match to the “Avatar” kind of work. Even if Rajamouli wants to deliver such films, he needs to work in Hollywood, and also forget the masala-styled hero-centric story telling that’s centred around Telugu cinema. Still, how could Rajamouli beat Avatar.

With his “Baahubali” Rajamouli has a chance to beat Avatar movie made by director James Cameron. All these days we’ve seen ‘trilogy’ films, a set of three films, narrating a continued story. The third sequel always concluded the story. But “Avatar” is the first film that is going to have three more sequels to the existing flick, giving continuation to the story and concluding it in the fourth part. That means James Cameron is making a ‘tetralogy’ film, the first in the world.

Now if Rajamouli could continue his story of Baahubali for three more parts, then he will be the first in the world before Cameron to make such series of films. Though Rajamouli stated that the story started in Baahubali 1 will be concluded in 2nd part itself and then there will be a new story altogether from 3rd part onwards, he may change his mind, in case if he wants to beat Avatar. Otherwise Rajamouli will be making series of films like James Bond and Harry Potter, but they don’t fall under trilogy and tetralogy kind.

Neither beach romance in North India nor conversion of religion seem to be true in the case of heroine Nayantara. While beach romance is a mere figment of imagination, the origin of all these conversion rumours is her latest trip to Rome.

Last Wednesday (18th) Nayan celebrated her 31st birthday. To kick start the celebrations she went to an European tour, where she will spend her time in Milan, Italy. However, Nayan also visited Vatican City in Rome and got a glimpse of Pope too during the everyday where lakhs of tourists get a glimpse of the religious leader.

This is however being spread as Nayan met Pope directly to convert into Christian fold again, while she has converted to Hinduism earlier though she is a Christian by birth.

It sounds silly, because Nayantara will not be heading to Pope in Rome to convert to Christianity, there are enough churches back here in India. And meeting Pope directly sounds something too cinematic. Nayan has just visited Rome, there is nothing like spread in media.

Young Tiger NTR is currently shooting for creative director Sukumar’s Nannaku Prematho. Around a month ago, NTR released the first teaser of Sukumar’s debut home production, Kumari 21F, which immediately got all the attention for the film. And now, just a night before the film’s worldwide release, NTR praised the film to no limits.

Last night, NTR watched Kumari 21F in a special premiere and couldn’t stop raving about the film. He personally congratulated the film’s music composer Devi Sri Prasad and the cinematographer Rathnavelu for their work. Not stopping here, NTR took to his Twitter page to drench the film with praises.

The Young Tiger tweeted, “A new age luv story..KUMARI 21F.throughly loved it!!!Pratap Devi and Randy excelled to the highest.heebah and raj were at their best.” Sharing a few praising lines about his director and Kumari 21F producer, Tarak said, “Last but not the least a very heart touching story from the master himself SUKKU Garu..hats off for the brave and bold writing sir.”

Well, no doubt that NTR has surely raised the expectation levels among his fans and movie lovers about Kumari 21F with his tweets.
