Reports say that Krishna Chaitanya managed to impress Nithin with a subject and this project is likely to go on floors after Nithin completes his next films with Trivikram Srinivas and Venu Mallidi.

Energetic Hero Ram’s latest offering Shivam will be having its audio launch date on September 12th. The movie unit had just returned to Hyderabad after canning two songs in Norway and Sweden. They are on track for the planned release on October 2nd as Gandhi Jayanthi Special.

The makers are planning to start the promotions with the release of the first look teaser in few days. Touted to be an out and out mass action entertainer, the movie is directed by a debutante Srinivas Reddy. The project was supposed to be for Nithin.

But it was put off after the movie was launched due to some creative differences. Raashi Khanna is romancing Ram for the first time in this film. Ram’s uncle, Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, is producing the film under his Sravanthi Movies banner. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the music.

Mega Prince Varun Tej’s Loafer is progressing at brisk pace in Goa. It is emerging that the movie will have a high dose of Mother sentiment just like the case of Ram Charan’s debut movie, Chirutha. The movie unit recently completed a 32 days long schedule in Jaisalmer of Rajasthan.

Disha Patani is making her Telugu debut with this film. Varun Tej’s debut film, Mukunda ended up as a dreadful experience and Varun wants to make amends for the failure with these two films – Kanche and Loafer.

There are this set of film industry biggies, especially in Tollywood, where they are once the celebrated super stars but now they don’t even direct, produce or act in one single movie at least in a year. But still, tinselville gives quite importance to the saying ‘Peddala maata chaddimoota’ and attentively listens to these biggies just in case if there will be any useful or though provoking point to follow and implement.

Problem with these veterans is that, they don’t have any limits, and any guidelines about what they preach, follow and practice. One blasts the song-dance routines as b-grade country side recording dances and appreciates another film of same content. They make fun of big stars but forget the fact that they are also treading in same path.

In an industry where every single green note has huge interests to be paid off, commercial factors always play key role. But these veterans change their tone while criticising others, and if they invest in a film themselves.

Also some veterans comment on lyrics, some on looks of heroes, some on heroines and others than fate of Tollywood. Still, they don’t stick to that while introducing their own family members to silver screen. Sad, but true.

Yesterday it was festival time for Power Star Pawan Kalyan fans, since it was the actor’s birthday. Makers of Sarddar Gabbar Singh provided memorable gift by releasing a rocking teaser, where Pawan Kalyan was seen walking along with a horse, while background score by Devi Sri Prasad was captivating. When fans were in good mood celebrating Pawan’s birthday till the night, an awful incident disturbed them utterly.

Situations turned tense last night in Bhimavaram of West Godavari district when few unknown persons torn Pawan Kalyan flexis. Annoyed fans, came on the roads and hurled stones on houses of suspects. They claim, the flexis were torn by Prabhas fans and burnt Baahubali posters. The fans even attacked near by shops. Police intervened to normalize the situations; however they couldn’t for long time. Complete details about the incident are yet to be known.

In fact, there are friendly terms between Pawan Kalyan and Prabhas. But fans are doing unnecessary hungama!

Ever since she stepped on Indian soil to act in Bollywood, popular adult film star Sunny Leone has been facing the wrath of politicians and woman’s organizations. After a series of police cases on obscenity charges and receiving flak for her erotic Bollywood thrillers, Sunny found herself at the receiving end once again.

Accusing Sunny of inciting rapes in India now is the Communist Party of India leader Atul Kumar Anjan. Speaking at a rally in Uttar Pradesh yesterday, the left leader said, “There is a woman Sunny Leone. She has worked in many nude films. There is an ad in which she’s lying down and one man is coming to her. It’s a condom ad. If they are shown everywhere on TV and newspapers, rape incidents will increase.”

The leader further said that he once watched porn for 2 minutes and immediately vomited. “They destroy sensibilities and develop sexuality,” said the leader talking about Sunny Leone’s condom ad. It is high time the leaders stop targeting Sunny Leone for their failures and realize that they are regulatory bodies like censor board and Advertising Standards Council of India to keep the offensive content in check.

Already a bunch of Telugu actors like Ram Charan and Rana Daggubati own couple of apartments in the posh suburbans of Mumbai city as these actors want to maintain close ties with Bollywood counterparts. Treading on the same lines, even Stylish Star Allu Arjun has also joined the league by buying a simple 2BHK apartment in the Bollywood capital.

Whether he will venture into Bollywood or not, Bunny has decided to design the interiors of his own apartment. Taking help from art-department workers in Mumbai, he has done the interiors in a Mediterranean feel by using tones of brown and grey mostly, while blue and white are splashed at places. From buying antiques to paintings, every single piece on the wall is Bunny’s personal taste. His little brother Allu Sirish has shared these pictures and info with a leading media house.

Maybe like Bollywood’s star wives Gauri Khan and Suzanne Roshan, who knows, Bunny will also start his own Interior Designing business too.

Akhil Akkineni seem to be very good in planning. He got commercially viable Vinayak for his debut movie, Akhil and now it is said that he is in talks with Koratala Siva who bagged back to back successes in his career with Mirchi and Srimanthudu.

Mirchi was the biggest hit in Prabhas’ career then and now Srimanthudu is the second biggest hit of all time in Telugu film industry only after Baahubali. So the choice seem to be good.

But they said Koratala will be directing NTR’s next which will begin in December, we will have to see how this project will be accommodated. If materialized, Bandla Ganesh will be producing the film.
