New Delhi: Actress Akshara Haasan says she would like to establish herself in the Hindi film fraternity first and then move to Tamil and Telugu films like her elder sister Shruti Haasan.

“I would love to (do Tamil and Telugu films), but right now is not the time for me to go there. I would like to settle my feet first in Bollywood and then move there,” Akshara told IANS.

Akshara, who is the daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, even hopes to share screen space with her parents someday, but she would like to first “establish” herself as an actor before she can manage the feat.

“I would actually like to establish myself as an actor first because both my parents are powerful and strong actors so, I need to up my game before I could dare sharing the screen space with both of them,” she said.

The actress, who was seen donning an “innocent” bride’s look at the BMW India Bridal Fashion Week 2015, added that she “chooses” her “own scripts”, but consults her parents only if she is “not sure”.

“I can take my own decision, both my parents have given opportunity to grow and make my own decisions in life,” she added.

Talking about the other Bollywood projects in her kitty, Akshara, who was last seen in R. Balki’s “Shamitabh”, said: “Nothing has been confirmed as yet. There are a few discussions happening, but nothing I can say is confirmed.”

Nithin’s much delayed Courier Boy Kalyan that has run into financial troubles has finally overcome all of them and getting ready for release in September. This film is produced by star director Gautham Menon. Jai plays the lead role in Tamil version of this movie.

Premsai who has assisted Prabhu Deva turned director with this movie which is believed to be a remake of Hollywood thriller Premium Rush.
Courier Boy Kalyan was launched two years ago but didn’t release as the producers faced financial struggles. Nithin will heave a sigh of relief as the film finally makes way to the theaters.
Courier Boy Kalyan will also be the only release for Nithin this year. He has been waiting for the right project since Chinnadana Neekosam that was released in last December.
Luckily Nithin bagged Trivikram’s next movie that will be ready by next summer. CBK will make sure that Nithin doesn’t have zero releases this year.

Part 1 has upped the expectations for Part 2 and the main villain of the film Rana is already hinting as to what to expect from the next part of Baahubali.

In an interview given to a newspaper, he revealed that the second part will show Bhallaladeva in complete negative mode.
It is known that Bhallaladeva, the role played by Rana in Baahubali – The beginning, takes the throne after killing Amarendra Baahubali and later imprisons his wife.
But the first part does not show how Bhallaladeva took the reins of the kingdom from Baahubali, the king of Mahismati province.
This will be shown in the second part and the main focus will be on the cruelty of Bhallaladeva.
Rana says there will be more villainy in the second part. “I look like a mad man,” he told the paper, saying that the shooting will commence from mid-September.
Baahubali has become the third biggest grosser in Indian movies and Baahubali 2 is to be made on an even larger scale to reach a much wider audience.
Talk is that a couple of big corporate companies are bidding to buy the rights for an astronomical price.

Though Bollywood films have great market in Pakistan even more than the market of Pakisthani films, some Indian films are due to get banned easily. The main reason for this discretion is allegedly the anti-Pakistan content. Whenever a film is made with underlying themes of terrorism, Pakistan based terrorist organisations grow conscious and seek ban on such films.

The upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Phantom’ is also facing the heat from banned Lushkar-e-Toyiba Chief Hafiz Saeed for references pointing towards him making him responsible for Mumbai Terror attack. He moved Lahore High Court by his petition to ban the film in Pakistan.

He argues that ‘Phantom’ is anti Pakistan and spreading filthy propaganda on the country. Global terrorism is discussed in the film and some characters in the film have bold but veiled references to the alleged terrorist groups and their leaders like Saeed. The Lahore High Court refused to ban and asked for the respondents version on the movie.

Interestingly, this movie is directed by Kabir Khan who has a penchant for making films touching ‘India-Pakistan’ issues. His ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was about two secret agents, one from India and the other from Pakistan, falling in love. This movie was banned in Pakistan.

However his latest release ‘Bhajrangi Bhaijaan’ was spared from ban and is running successfully to packed theatres in Pakistan even surpassing the collections of regional films in the country. The fate of ‘Phantom’ would be decided after Pakistan Censor Board clears the issues.

Traditional looking actress Sneha had delivered a baby boy last night. Both the mother and the child are hale and healthy. Sneha’s husband, actor Prasanna was on her side at the time of delivery.

Prasanna and Sneha first paired on screen for the 2009 Tamil film Achchamundu Achchamundu. The couple confirmed they were in a relationship in 2011 and tied the knot in May 2012. Sneha is being very selective in acting since the marriage.

She recently entered the new phase of career by playing a supporting role in Allu Arjun’s S/O Satyamurthy. She is likely to take a break totally and take care of her junior for the next few years. We congratulate the couple on this new addition.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Srimanthudu had passed the Monday test with flying colours. The movie had collected 4.32 Crore share on its first working day. However the movie was benefitted by Bonalu holiday in Nizam where in it collected close to 2 Crore share.

Here is the breakup of Srimanthudu fourth day collections

Nizam: 1.94 Crore
Ceeded: 65 Lakhs
Uttarandhra: 44 Lakhs
East: 35 Lakhs
West: 21 Lakhs
Krishna: 30 Lakhs
Guntur: 31 Lakhs
Nellore: 12.45 Lakhs

AP+Nizam: 4.32 Crore Approx

After three days of release, Srimanthudu has pocketed nearly 41 crores of share as per early trade reports. Also the film stormed into 2 Million Dollars club in USA ‘gross’ box office collections. It’s high time to have a look at the factors that helped the flick click big way.

Generally factors like Mahesh Babu’s stardom, Shruti Haasan’s glamour, dialogues and songs are treated as benchmarks to measure the success of a film. But Srimanthudu has re-written the way to woo audiences, isn’t it? That’s why, five different reasons have come out when we had a deep look into the film.

1) Nostalgic emotions: Needless to say, this is an emotional script churned by Koratala Siva. He has come out with something that showcases immense connect with a native place. 80 out of 100 people will connect to this story line because they are all living far from their native towns and villages. In this digital era, Koratala Siva identified what’s actually missing among youths, and made them feel nostalgic about their native places.

2) Mahesh Babu’s improvisation: With every film Mahesh is getting better. People will take this for his handsomeness and desirability quotient, but we are not talking about them. Mahesh has improved as an actor with each film and in this film he delivered a finest performance. Among all other actors, it’s he who dominates with acting.

3) Wooing the kids: For any film, family audiences are quintessential. Only if families like, Film could make amazing collections. As Mahesh rides a cycle, jumps into bus door, he simply sleeps on a normal bed with simple costumes, all those things made kids love him more. So, family audiences spread more positive talk than anyone else.

4) Casting the right artists: Shruti Haasan is one lady who could look a complete middle class belle and an ultra modern glam starlet at the same time. In scenes, she looks like the former and in songs its a feast for glamour lovers. Jagapathi Babu could easily make everyone believe him as a rich billionaire, so is Rajendra Prasad as a middle class farmer. This perfect casting worked out heftily in the film’s favour.

5) Touched the hearts: For every single employee in top cities like Hyderabad, Vizag and Vijayawada who doesn’t stay with parents, this film touched at right place. Many do think that they have to bring their parents to city such that they could spend good item. However Srimanthudu said how difficult it will be for parents if we cut them off from the native friends and relatives. Such revelations have touched the hearts.

It’s Vinayak Chavithi. No doubt, Balayya is the centre of attention as none can beat him when it comes to dancing for the masses. That’s why he took it to dancing. But how many people should dance with him along? Exactly 99 dancers are lined up. In case you’re wondering what’s the story we are talking about, let’s go to ‘Dictator’ shooting spot.

Nandamuri Natasimham’s latest movie is ‘Dictator’, technically his 99th film, and being directed by Sriwaas. Currently the unit are filming a typical Balakrishna style introduction song in around hyderabad under the choreography of Prem Rakshit.

It is found that, being Dictator his 99th film, there are exactly 99 dancers dancing with the mass action hero. That’s not kind of a sentiment, but just something to denote the number. But how could anyone count if there are 99 dancers are not around Balayya? Hope Sriwaas comes up with something to indicate that.

Meanwhile some snaps of Balayya clicked from the shooting spot today are doing rounds everywhere and Nandamuri fans are getting full kick out of it.
