0
Venkatesh has been simultaneously doing Shadow and Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu movies at the moment. He had plans of finishing off Shadow as early as possible as his fans are waiting to see him in a commercial movie. But he has put Shadow aside for some time and is completely concentrating upon SVSC.
Actually Venky should be in the sets of Shadow now. With a reshuffle of dates given to SVSC, he decided to finish it off and move on to Shadow’s work. This has been done on the request of Mahesh Babu, who wants to wrap up SVSC on time. As Mahesh’s wife Namrata is expecting new baby in August, Mahesh is in a hurry to complete SVSC. He doesn’t want this film to miss out the Dussera season.
Venkatesh obliged to Mahesh’s request and has put Shadow’s work on hold for a while. Also he has shaved off the beard, which he was sporting for the Shadow character. Venky has to complete SVSC and then wait until the beard grows and only after that he will start working for Shadow. This shows the great bond between the two superstars.

Yes, it was already known about Mohan Babu walking out of the auditorium unable to bear the insult happened with breach of protocol before felicitation of K. Raghavendra Rao with Life-Time-Achievement Award. All this is heard to have happened before the presence of Kamal.
A confused Kamal tried to enquire on what’s the actual issue is all about. By then, the event has come to an end and the actor left the venue in confusion. Well, those present at the celebration have just gone dumb feeling ashamed for severity of Politics in Tollywood.

Tollywood Lacks Trained & Creative Technicians : Nagarjuna

0
King Nagarjuna generally choses to stay diplomatic while passing comments about film industry. But this time, he has spoken something from his heart, which many people are finding tough to digest.
While presiding over a meet at his Film School today, Nag stated that Film Industry is lacking talented and creative individuals who are well trained. The star hero has stressed the need for well educated people in Film Industry where the game is with crores of rupees. He means ‘Film education’ here, say it screenplay writing, directing or producing a film.
We can always see it in Tollywood that creative individuals have no technical brains and technicians are not so creative while directing movies. Though there are some exceptions like Krishnavamsi and Rajamouli, two persons are not enough for 120 films that are coming out from Tollywood factory every year.
Critics say that there is no need to take Nag’s comments in a bitter tone. An actor of his experience will not make such comments so easily. This also cannot be viewed as a publicity stunt for his film school. Tollywood should seriously consider Nag’s word in order to make exceptionally brilliant movies.

0
Reacting to the allegations of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu that Jagan’s palatial house has 80 bedrooms, YSR Congress star campaigner Sharmila clarified that her brother’s Lotus Pond house in Banjara Hills has just four bedrooms.
On the luxury palaces in Bengaluru, Sharmila agreed that her family has two houses there by saying – one among them is a farmhouse in a agricultural land and the other is their official residence which has just five bedrooms. She even said that CBI had already recorded everything inside their residences and if still anyone have doubts they could check the facts.
Sharmila’s version not only shocked Jagan’s opponents, but also her party leaders. How can a mansion in Bengaluru which is spread over a 90,000 sq ft area be having only five bedrooms. Leaving aside the media speculations and Sharmila version, no one can ever know how vast the Jagan’s house is, until CBI exposes the recorded stuff.

All’s not well with Hindi filmdom’s original superstar Rajesh Khanna. The actor, recently seen in a TV ad, has stopped intake of food the past few days, while his estranged wife Dimple Kapadia is taking care of him.

“He is not able to have his food. Khaana muh pe nahi jaa raha hai (The food is not going into his mouth),” his manager Ashwin told, but didn’t confirm if the actor will be admitted to a hospital soon. Popularly known as ‘Kaka’, Rajesh Khanna went through a health scare in April too. He was hospitalised following uneasiness back then.

His current ill health brought his younger daughter Rinke to Mumbai Wednesday morning. “Rinke and her mother Dimple Kapadia are by his side and taking care of him,” said Ashwin. Dimple and Rajesh Khanna’s elder daughter Twinkle is expecting her second baby with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.

Ram Charan-Upasana honeymoon at Florence, Italy !

0
Newly married couple, actor Ram Charan Teja and his bride Kamineni Upasana, have had a short three-day, but delightful honeymoon at designer Salvatore Ferragamo’s ranch in Florence, Italy.
The southern star, son of actor-turned-politician K. Chiranjeevi, tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Upasana, grand-daughter of Pratap C. Reddy, chairman and co-founder of Apollo Hospitals, June 14 and took off for Italy June 17.
Their original plan was to have a quick honeymoon in India since Ram Charan needed to return to work next week, but when they received an offer from the Ferragamo family, they couldn’t resist.
“We’ve been invited here by Salvatore’s family to their ranch outside Florence. It’s a 200-acre farm with only five villas for guests,” Ram Charan said from Italy.
He says it has served their requirement of a peaceful honeymoon.
“It’s very quiet here. The only entertainment we have is horse riding, wine-tasting in vineyards and trekking in their awesomely huge ranch. Upasana and I are in a state of bliss,” he added.
If grapevine is to be believed, Ram Charan wanted to put off the honeymoon for later when there would be more time for the couple to take off, but Upasana was keen to go on it immediately.
Nevertheless, the couple is enjoying themselves.
“At the moment I’ve managed a 3-day break. So I’m spending time with my wife in Italy. We’ve also visited the St Peter’s Church in Vatican City. Just three days earlier we were at Tirupati. The spiritual journey of our wedding seems complete,” said the actor, who will be seen in the remake of 1973 classic “Zanjeer”.

Did Chiranjeevi neglect his dear brother?

0
Megastar Chiranjeevi is deliberately being targeted by some sections of media in the recent past. They are targeting him in the name of highlighting Pawan Kalyan. For some reasons media started to focus Pawan Kalyan and in this process it is belittling Chiranjeevi. Gabbar Singh’s mighty success is also playing big role in it.
Gossip media blames Chiru as a selfish man who doesn’t even care to help his brother. It is being circulated that Pawan Kalyan has bailed Nagababu out of Orange losses when Chiranjeevi didn’t mind to. We don’t know if Pawan really helped Nagababu or Chiranjeevi hasn’t. But one thing is clear that Chiranjeevi gave many a chance to make his brother rich. When Ram Charan was the hottest property in Tollywood after Magadheera’s historic success, Chiranjeevi gave his son’s dates to Nagababu. But he failed to capitalize on it.
Chiranjeevi also gave his dates to Nagababu in those days when he was on the top. But Nagababu didn’t make good use of it. His choice of subjects has to be blamed for it. Even Pawan Kalyan did only one film with Nagababu till date. Except for Gudumba Shankar Pawan didn’t do any film in Anjana productions. He could have given his dates to Nagababu right after Gabbar Singh, but he didn’t. Our media should stop being one sided and stop targeting Chiranjeevi unnecessarily.

Star Directors working with Bandla Ganesh to reach Pawan !

0
Standing tall among the new generation of big budgeted producers, Bandla Ganesh is the target of star directors now. They say it is the effectiveness of the ‘drug’ he using.
It is a double dhamaal for producer Ganesh after ace director Sreenu Vytla signed two back to back films with him. After finishing ‘Baadshah’, Vytla will be doing another flick for him. Ganesh is said to be using a drug called ‘Pawan Kalyan’ to lure all these star directors. As many makers are dying to work with Pawan, they are associating with Ganesh as a first step.
PowerStar card is helping this producer to sign some directors at cheaper prices too. Talk is that Ganesh is the one to set that long pending project between Pawan and Puri. It is for this reason, Puri Jagan is doing his next with this big-fat producer after finishing ‘Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu’ We have to see how long the effect of this drug works for Ganesh, as film industry will not give a Midas-touch for a long time.

Uday Kiran comming as Police Officer !

0
The only tough thing in tinsel town is to stabilize your success and stay in top position for quite a time. This is made possible only by few superstars and mega stars, while rest are still trying to pursuing it.
Uday Kiran needs no introduction about stardom in Telugu Film Industry. He rose to a top all of a sudden and has fallen from that position swiftly. Till then he is trying to score points, but the negative marking made him a senior flop hero. Though Uday is part of some good flicks in the recent past, he never got blessed by Tollywood. Shedding his lover boy image, he is all set now to enthral as a tough cop in his upcoming movie.
This is will be an acid test for Uday Kiran, after which it is better for him to retire from the circuit rather losing whatever the little respect he is commanding still.

Ileana’s 3 Films Releasing at a Time !

0
Ileana has been out of action for so long. Although she has been busy with various films, she was not seen on Telugu screen since Nenu Naa Rakshasi. After a hiatus now the actress is coming up with two projects at a time. Julayi and Devudu Chesina Manushulu are lined up for release in July. Ileana played the female lead in both the films.
Besides these Telugu projects Ileana has Barfee in Hindi. She is making debut in Bollywood with this Ranbir Kapoor starrer. With too many films reaching the final stage of shoot, Ileana is too busy to find to time to promote her movies. That is the reason why she was not present at Julayi audio. She was busy with Barfee shooting on that day.
Ileana hopes that all these three films click at the box office and fetches her good hits. However, she needs to work extra time to help the movies to get good publicity from her side. Having three releases at a time and that too in different languages is a bit of overdose and Ileana may not be feeling the pain as it tastes sweet!
