There are some heroines who just look glamorous but can’t pull the show. Few are those who look extremely beautiful and then kill the given role. Happening girls Nitya Menon and Colors Swathi fall under that category. There is another girl who is expected to be their competitor, and it’s Avika Gor, of TV serial Chinnari Pellikoothuru fame.

After wooing Telugu audiences with movie like Uyyala Jampala, many expected that Avika will take Tollywood by a storm. Then there is this film called Lakshmi Maa Intiki Raave which failed miserably. In today’s release Cinema Choopista Maava too, Avika is the leading lady.

Quite shockingly she has no single scene that will explore her acting prowess. In every frame, she just stood like a doll and delivered bits and pieces of dialogues. Only in the climax scene, she has a lengthy dialogue that satisfies her fans, but no doubt this is the dumbest role she has done.

It’s all official. NTR-Sukumar’s Nannaku Prematho will be hitting the screens for Sankranthi 2016. The family entertainer is slated for Jan 8 release, said producer BVSN Prasad in a statement released by the production house. Currently the film is being shot in London for 20 days after which the unit will move to Spain where the film will be shot for another 20 days. With this, the film’s shoot is expected to be wrapped up.

Already NTR’s look in the film caught attention and become talking point. He is looking stylish ever in his career. His looks, costumes said to be so different and director Sukumar apparently took great care in Tarak’s looks, attire in film. Also buzz has it that NTR will be seen riding a swanky, posh bike in the film which is expected to make his fans merry. Devi Sri Prasad has rendered tunes for the film. Given that Sukumar-DSP’s combo is big hit music-wise, expectations on the songs are way too high.

Although the makers initially planned to release the film this year, keeping in mind big festive season,they decided to push the film for Sankranthi. The film marks the collaboration of Rakul Preet Singh with NTR. Jagapathi Babu is essaying the role of NTR’s father while Rajendra Prasad is playing another pivotal role. So, fans have to wait till Jan 2016 to watch the film on big screen.

What will you be getting when you make a movie of international standards ? Everyone will be bugging you to endorse their product. You will get lots of offers from other people.

You will be invited by many channels and educational institutes to honor some function or be the chief guest. Now S.S.Rajamouli faces one such situation. Most of the universities are in competition to give him honorary doctorate degree for his services to Tamil and Telugu cinema.

We hear lots of universities from both Tamil Nadu and Andhra are in huge competition to provide the doctorate degree. But the director so far has never agreed to receive anything.

Right now the director is focusing on shaping up ‘Baahubali 2’ and we will provide your confirmed reports if he agrees to receive the degree from any University.

These days you can see an actress is not labelled to a certain region. Tamil actress doing movies in Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. While other language actress cement their spot in Tamil cinema.

This is a common thing these days for any actress. As dubbing artists take the charge, it becomes even easier for actress these days. Earlier Jyothika dubbed in her own voice for ‘Mayavi’ movie.

Rakul Preet Singh who was born in New Delhi is currently the numero uno actress in Telugu industry. She started her career with Kannada movie ‘Gilli’. Samantha who is a Tamil girl cemented her spot in Telugu industry similarly.

Trisha who was also a clean Tamil girl became a lead actress in Tollywood. However all these actress never even dub in their own voices. Reently it was Singer chinmayee who rendered her voice for Lavanya Tripathi for her upcoming Telugu movie.

Hugely popular for his 100 crore blockbusters like Ajay Devgan’s Singham franchise and Shah Rukh’s Chennai Express, Bollywood hit maker Rohit Shetty is under the CBI’s Mumbai wing’s scanner for allegedly bribing the former Chief of the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC), Rakesh Kumar.

The CBI’s Mumbai wing sent its recommendation to the Delhi headquarters for the filing of a case against Rohit Shetty and the producers of the 2014 blockbuster Singham Returns, on the charges of bribing 2 lakhs to the ex-chief of the CBFC to procure the censor certificate on 8th August, 2014, only a few days before the film’s UAE release on 14th August, 2014.

During the investigation, the CBI found out that the Censor Chief had suggested 12 cuts for the film citing that the film may hurt religious sentiments. Apparently, Rakesh Kumar also told Rohit that he was under intense heat from the ministry not to clear the film.

However, a desperate Rohit Shetty, who was under extreme pressure to obtain the censor certificate to release the film on time, insisted on no cuts and allegedly bribed him 2 lakhs and obtained the censor certificate.The investigation is going on currently and the CBI head quarters is yet to take its decision on filing the case.

The ugly spat between producer Bandla Ganesh and actor-producer Sachiin Joshi is becoming ugly day by day. Taking it to the new low, Sachiin has dubbed Ganesh as “Shameless”, “not trustworthy”.

When Bandla Ganesh wrote on his Twitter page, Sachiin strongly retorted and lashed out at Ganesh. “When people trust you, Every story u tell is a truth. But when they loose trust in you, every truth u tell becomes a story. Be Trustworthy. Good morning,” tweeted Ganesh. Reacting to Ganesh’s tweet, Sachiin replied, “but frauds like you cannot be trustworthy ever to anyone..more then fraud you are shameless,u dig in the same plate which gave you food (sic).”

According to reports, financial dispute between Ganesh and Sachiin is the source of this verbal war. Allegedly Ganesh cheated Sachiin during their collaboration for Telugu remake of Hindi blockbuster Aashiqui 2, Nee Jathaga Nenundali. It can also be noted that Sachiin’s production house Vikiing Media sent legal notices to Ganesh over a cheque bounce and looks like, the issue is not yet solved.

In fact, there were reports that Ganesh handed over the Hindi remake rights of Jr NTR-starrer Temper to Sachiin as part of the settlement. It’s obvious that Sachiin isn’t satisfied with it. Will Ganesh react to Sachiin’s open outburst?

Deepika Padukone has become the hottest topic for past few days. The reason behind is she walked out of her next Bollywood movie.

She was asked to pair with Hrithik Roshan under ‘Dhoom 3’ fame Vijay Acharya direction. But she refrained from signing the dotted line.

But Deepika denied the rumours and said, she was not even approached by Yash Raj Films. Now we hear another reason behind this issue.

Seems Deepika Padukone is the lead contender for pairing opposite Rajini in ‘Endhiran 2’ and signing this new movie may affect her presence in that. So it was said that Deepika has stayed away from Vijay’s movie.
