Samantha is one girl who has really felt the heat thanks to the entry of Shruti Haasan and return of Nayanatara after a lull. Of late, all her films had flopped at the box office in Tollywood and in Tamil.So, goes without saying, Sam is lagging vis-a-vis her competitors. Well, like all who are still in the race, Samantha has now decided to put her media contacts to good use.

She has a couple of ‘friends’ in English publications both in Telugu and Tamil. And she is getting them to write positive stories about her. Though she was the top actress till about last year, Anushka, Shruti Haasan and Nayanatara in Tamil are giving her good competition. Now, she mostly has offers in films that have more than one leading girl. The Tamil girl who is also known to be philanthropic, is said to be planning to settle down.

To avoid clash with each other movies, the makers of three upcoming movies have come forward to avoid direct fight among them and release their movies with a certain gap.Producers Prasad V Potluri and Radha Mohan along with Kona Venkat have come an understanding that that their three movies should have at least a week gap between their releases.

Hence, Anushka starrer PVP’s production Size Zero will release on November 27th as announced earlier. Size Zero is going to release in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously. Kona Venkat presented Nikhil starrer Sankarabharanam will be releasing a week after Size Zero hits the screens. The movie is confirmed for December 4th release worldwide. As per the understanding, Ravi Teja’s Bengal Tiger is pushed to December 10th to avoid direct clash with Anushka’s and Nikhil’s movies. Bengal Tiger was postponed twice already and has now been pushed further.

Not to disturbs one another’s business, producers of Bengal Tiger, Shankarabaranam and Size Zero have now come to an understanding that they will space out their films properly. So, Size Zero will release on Nov 27th, Shankarabaranam on Dec 4th and Bengal Tiger on 10th as per their plan. That’s good. But is this a good move for industry?

If all these big movies plan like One movie per week, then we will be seeing only 50 movies in a year. When nearly 200 films are being made to release in Telugu industry, on what equation this spacing really helps out is the question. In a minimum town, there are 8 theatres at least.

So, these kind of Size Zeroes and Shankarabaranams won’t be releasing in all the number of theatres but only in 1 or 2 theatres. In that case, what’s the problem if they release together? Except the fact that they may not get prime time everyday on TV channels to promote their films, there is nothing to lose if released collectively or separately.

If more films are released every week, then the percentage of audiences watching movies will shoot up. Otherwise, if people are spoon-fed with only 1 movie in 1 week kind of agenda, they may completely ignore movies and depend on TVs and other entertainment. If movie-watchers percentage is killed, then first the trade circuit, buyers and eventually Film Industry will get killed.

On one side, he has a film with his maternal uncle and on the other, he has been offered a film by his paternal uncle. Of course, it is known that he will be doing both of them.While Allu Arvind’s film will be the remake of Thani Oruvan, Pawan Kalyan’s film will be directed by Trivikram. So, now the big question is whose film will Charan do to begin with. Tamil film Thani Oruvan rights have been procured by Danayya who was supposed to make the film in the first place.

Then, Allu Arvind got into the picture and he will now produce Charan’s film. But for that, he will have to spend nearly Rs 10 crores, including rights, remuneration for director Surender Reddy and getting someone to translate and rewrite the film in Telugu. Since Allu Arvind plans his film carefully, it is said that he has also asked his team to look out for a story which can be bought for Rs 1 crore. In that case, the film is bound to get delayed, as getting a story could take time.

Meanwhile, Trivikram could complete A… Aa and he will be done with the film by the end of December this year. So, Charan is in a dilemma about which film to start next.

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s family drama film “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” had a bumper opening weekend. The Hindi version of the Sooraj Barjatya directorial has minted almost Rs.130 crore in the first four days.Released on November 12, a day after Diwali, “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” reunites Salman with his “Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!” and “Hum Saath-Saath Hai” director Barjatya after a gap of 16 years.

According to a statement, the Hindi version of “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”, which minted Rs.101.47 crore within three days of its release, collected Rs.28.30 crore on Sunday. Also starring Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Armaan Kohli and Neil Nitin Mukesh, “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” narrates the story of a royal family and how an outsider, Prem, played by Salman, tries to mend the broken bridges of the family. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has got a “solid” start but its upcoming collections will determine where the film is heading. “#PremRatanDhanPayo packed a solid (four-day) weekend, maintaining consistent biz from Friday-Sunday. Monday onwards is crucial for the film.

Weekdays will determine where #PremRatanDhanPayo is heading. With no major Hindi film releasing next Friday, should enjoy another good week,” Adarsh tweeted on Monday. “While the response has been mixed (a commonality with all biggies), the families are patronising the film and that is a big plus. #PRDP,” he added. “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”, made on a budget of Rs.60 crore, also released in Tamil and Telugu.

“Akhil” is over, so what is on cards for Akhil Akkineni for his next? It took nearly one and half year to finalise a director for his launch and that’s how they have founded VV Vinayak. And now, it’s time for the youngster to pick his second director.

As Vinayak is ruled out for the second film, surprisingly Akhil has no star-director ready at the moment to direct him. This is because all the directors are busy with their respective films. Puri Jagan is moving to Rogue, Rajamouli is locked with Baahubali 2, Trivikram’s A..Aa will take three more months to complete, while Sukumar is yet to finish Nannaku Prematho. Coming to mass directors, Boyapati Sreenu will take time to wrap Sarainodu. Other than Sreenu Vytla whose Bruce Lee tanked recently, no star director is free at the moment.

That pushes Akhil into having only two options, because if he wants a star director immediately then Sreenu Vytla will be the bet. Other option is, going with a some creative director like Krish, Vikram K Kumar or any new one. We have to see which option Akhil will pick once he comes back from Goa, wrapping his short holiday.

Former diplomat and Politician cum columnist Manishankar Aiyar picking back on the whole Shah Rukh episode said the Bihar election might have lulled away BJP’s comments over Shah Rukh Khan but Modi should apologies to Shah Rukh. BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargia called Shah Rukh a Traitor with aatma in Pakistan and their MP Yogi Adityanath said Shah Rukh was welcome to go to Pakistan as his language was different to Hafiz Saeed.

All this was said against Shah Rukh as he spoke of the growing intolerance in India and the Award Wapasi movement then on the go during his interview with NDTV on the occasion of his Birthday. Shah Rukh openly spoke of his disdain in having to prove his patriotism time and again just because he was a Muslim. Shah Rukh also said he has every right to call himself an Indian and is more Privileged to be an Indian as both his father and grand father fought for the freedom of India.

Manishankar Aiyar asking for Modi’s apology to shah Rukh said Most Voluble, Modi and his twitter crowd is as quite as they can ever be, because at their heart their thinking is no different. He also stated that their school of though and brought up is all about calling and making India a Hinduthva country and disliking Muslims. He further said that’s the reason the sang Parivar and the BJP draws equivalence between Muslims and Pakisthani despite one’s nationality and Patriotism.

Stating all the aforementioned Manishankar Aiyar said “Modi should be in the lead to apologies Shah Ruhk Khan, after all don’t  Shah Rukh Khan’s Follwers and fans outnumber  Modi’s”.

Was Bala Prasanth’s death the outcome of his car Parked in the Basement of his Mistress’ house?  Yes, says the police enquiry reports. Its known that he died trying to flee away from his Mistresses house but nobody knew how the mistress’ kith got to know of Prasanth’s presence in the house.

The enquiry reveals that Prasanth’s Skoda car parked in the basement of his Mistress house lead them into tracing out his presence in the house.  When the anonymous woman’s brother called her Husband who was away informing  him that his sister was all fine by herself , the husband asked his Brother In law to check the apartment basement for any new car parked in it . The brother in law told him of the Skoda Car parked in.

So the mistress’ husband called up his sister and Brother in law to go to his place. When they knocked the door of the Mistress, seemingly annoyed mistress slit her hand and was rushed to hospital. The police say her mobile phone had a message delivered to Prasanth reading ‘please escape somehow’ and had a reply from him reading ‘will do’.  The accident that lead to Prasanth’s death happened when he was trying to escape from the house with the help of a pipeline.
