Before the release of Baahubali, there was huge debate about the budget of the film. It looks like the film has come and gone, people forgot about it completely. But with trade circles revealing that the film made 245 crores “share” after 50 days of run at box office, the discussion pops up again.

How much profits Baahubali makers have made from the film so far? In case if the budget of 200 crores for Baahubali (whether it is for two parts or one part, Rajmouli haven’t clarified) is to be believed, then makers have made 45 crores profit. In that profit, Shobu, Prasad, Rajamouli and Prabhas (some reports say he’s a share holder) has to take a cut.

After three years of hard work, whatever share they get from this flick isn’t much. On that note we have to say that Baahubali: The Beginning haven’t begun showering profits for the makers of anyone involved. Whatever the profit they get from second part of the film would be their Gains.

Here’s a memorable moment captured from the Moulin Rouge themed reunion of the prominent south stars of the 80’s. The get together happened last night in Chennai, with all the major stars of the 80’s appeared in flash red attire. This is the 6th successive reunion of the 80’s stars which has been planned and handled by yesteryear actresses Suhasini, Khshboo and Lissy.

From Tollywood, Chiru, Venkatesh, Naresh, Suman, Jayasudha etc attended the reunion, while Nagarjuna and Balakrishna missed out on the revelry due to birthday and Europe shoot respectively. South stars like Mohanlal, Satyaraj, Bhagyaraj, Revathi, Shobhana, etc too took part in the fun and frolic that includes special performances by all the stars.

While Superstar Rajinikanth missed out on the fun, Bollywood stars Jackie Shroff and Poonam Dhillon made up for it.

Svelte beauty Shruti Haasan is riding high in Tollywood after the blockbuster success of Srimanthudu. In the film, it was Shruti’s character Chaaruseela that motivates Mahesh’s character Harsha to adopt his native village and develop it. But looks like it’s the opposite in real life.

We already know that Mahesh Babu has adopted his native village Burripalem and another undeveloped village in Telangana. Mahesh’s noble act inspired several generous hearts and one among them is the Charuseela Shruti Haasan herself. In a recent chitchat with fans, Shruti revealed that she will adopt a village in Tamil Nadu and develop it.

As per the latest reports, Shruti too is in the process of finding the right village and she will soon get herself busy in transforming it into a model village. However, Shruti states that she is not emulating Mahesh Babu’s act and that she always had this plan since several years. Shruti further said that it was her father Kamal Haasan who inspired her towards social service.

Shriya Saran and the name needs no introduction. Since her debut in 2001 with Ishtam movie, this hottie is wondering Telugu audiences how she’s able to maintain that slim hot figure despite crossing 30 years of age. More to that, how far this heroine is able to survive such a long time in industry even without any offers in hand.

Heroines like Parvathi Melton and Amala Paul haven’t succeeded despite having good looks and acting talents. After their heroine stint seems to be on a low, they have married and settled. But Shriya is not like that. She’s just the hot guest at all cine awards functions and takes stage with dancing.

It’s heard that Shriya’s real hot physique helps her carry any wardrobe, western or India, ethnic or modern, with ease. That’s making many fashion show organisers run after her. Through those shows she’s earning a bomb every month.

A report says she has more than 40 lakhs income per annum through these awards functions, fashion shows and other events. That way she’s able to survive for such a long time.

Contrary to the reports, sources close to Samantha have clarified that, the actress is very much a part of Mahesh Babu’s Brahmotsavam. From past few days, there have been numerous speculations about Samantha’s existence in Brahmotsavam. Rakul Preet Singh was rumoured to replace Samantha in the Srikanth Addala’s directorial.

As per the sources, Samantha will join the shoot from September 20th. Brahmotsavam will have space for other two heroines to be played by Kajal Agarwal and Pranitha Subhash. Though Mahesh Babu maintained mum, his fans expressed anguish when Samantha criticized a poster of heroine Kriti Sanon following Mahesh’s footsteps in one of the posters of 1 Nenokkadine.

Samantha later interviewed Mahesh and Trivikram Srinivas as part of Memu Saitham event for Hudhud relief fund. During the program, Mahesh clarified that he already forgot about the confrontation. Interestingly, in the song ‘Jatha Kalise’ in Srimanthudu, Mahesh Babu makes his heroine Shruti Haasan’s foot touch him.

Media speculated the act as Mahesh’s retort to Samantha and this sourced to another gossip of the actress kicked out of Brahmotsavam. Mahesh Babu is professional at work, so he has no issues in casting Samantha in his film.

According to reliable sources, daughter of actor-producer Naga Babu and niece of Mega Star Chiranjeevi, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is going to be seen in a new avatar altogether. Niharika will soon be seen as a lead heroine on screen.

Niharika has been passionate about acting and wants to be heroine. In fact, she anchored TV shows (D Juniors, Gupshup) and even acted in handful of short films. Considering her interest, father-actor Naga Babu has given consent for her to take big step.

Currently, Niharika is listening to a couple of scripts and keen on signing a big film on the dotted line soon. Even Naga Babu is listening to scripts. If he gives nod for the script, the movie would go onto floors soon. Daughter of Naga Babu and sister of Varun Tej, Niharika will soon be seen in the next level.

It’s a rarity in Telugu film industry to encourage daughters of actors to take forward the acting legacy. Though in the past actresses like Supriya (from Akkineni clan), Lakshmi Manchu (daughter of Mohan Babu) tested their luck, they haven’t proved themselves as successful heroines. But going by reports, Niharika is determined to be a game changer. Let’s welcome Niharika, the new kid on the block.
