Looks like Kajal Agarwal who made her Bollywood debut with Singam, is keen to shape up her career there.

Currently, she is acting in Mahesh Babu – Sukumar movie and is also selected as the lead pair in NTR’s Baadshah.

Meher Ramesh delivered a colossal flop in Tollywood with NTR’s Shakthi. But still, he managed to bag two movies – Shadow with Victory Venkatesh and Power with Ravi Teja despite his failures. He is a distant relative of Mega Star family and using that relation, he is slowly moving towards Pawan Kalyan to bag a chance to direct him.

The Election commission of India had announced the schedule for upcoming by polls for the 18 Assembly constituencies and one Lok Sabha constituency. Leaders of all parties are spending sleepless nights with the elections fast approaching. So is, Nandamuri Balakrishna.

He had lobbied with TDP Chief Chandra Babu Naidu to allot seats to his followers Chirumamilla Madhu in Macherla and Mahalaxmi Srinivas in Anantapur constituencies. Chandra Babu finally yielded to his pressure and allocated the seats.Balayya had reportedly taken this as his prestigious issue. The actor is reportedly keen to take 2 week break from his movie shootings and campaign for the party in by-polls.

The average tenure for any heroine ranges anywhere between eight to ten years and if her takeoff is perfect then she can sustain herself for an additional two years or so. But otherwise, if she starts with a string of flops then it doesn’t take long for the industry to tag her as bad luck and keep her away.

This is the reason why Shruti Haasan is reportedly in full tension. Apparently, Shruti was roped in for ‘Dammu’ and after acting for a while she left. But now, in the film ‘Gabbar Singh’ she has acted full. But here comes the catch for her. If ‘Gabbar Singh’ scores a flop then Shruti will be given a permanent fail mark.

And this will go double if ‘Dammu’ becomes a hit. But if ‘Gabbar Singh’ becomes a hit then the black stain on her will be removed. Unfortunately for her, Shruti has dabbled in Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood but failed to score a hit anywhere. And with ‘Dammu’ and ‘Gabbar Singh’ in the fray, she is reportedly having sleepless nights.

‘Racha’, Ram Charan’s latest blockbuster holds decent records at Box Office for opening day collections, rejoicing Mega fans. But, insider story says a different story altogether and now they wants to come up with something else, to save themselves.

Super Good Films is now planning to add a song of ‘Merupu’ that was shot long back in ‘Racha’ movie to attract more viewers. Though there seemed no losses for the producer, these moves are intended to pocket more profits, an insider said.

Many other heroes’ fans are arguing that the collection records of ‘Racha’ are faked and this news may help them assault mega beliefs further. A look at Box Office reveals that ‘Racha’ can do all these stunts as long as other competitors like ‘Dammu’, ‘Eega’ and ‘Gabbar Singh’ take time to hit theatres.

For reasons unknown, Curvy big beauty Anushka is not coming to Telugu Industry and is cementing her place in Tamil circuit. She had laughed at many other heroines in Kollywood after signing a series of movies. Now, it’s time for her to do the opposite.

Interestingly, Milky and small looking beauty Tamanna got a decent start in Tamil but never rose to the likes of a top heroine. However, her rise to stardom in Telugu Industry made Tamil producers knock her doors once again. Not only films, Tamanna is also getting lot of ad assignments from lungi-land. Recently she has signed as a brand ambassador for Fanta in Tamilnadu and will be the front face of a leading jeweler store based in Chennai. Milky babe’s re-entry became a tough competition for our bulky curvaceous siren Anushka, reveals an insider.

Massive mass movies mela is going on at the Tollywood box office this summer. Racha is rock steady in its third week and is redefining the stamina of a mass film at the box office. Now Dammu is arriving to take the box office by storm. We can expect spectacular business for this movie too.

There is another mass movie in queue and that is none other than Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh. This film is slated for release on May 11. So how will Gabbar fare at the box office after two big mass movies? Industry sources say that neither Racha nor Dammu can affect Gabbar Singh’s business as the latter is a very good entertainer which caters to all the sections.

Gabbar Singh has ample comedy which was the drawback in Racha. Even Dammu pre release reports read that the film falls short in comedy department. There isn’t a good comedy film at the box office post Dookudu and if Gabbar Singh can fill that void and comes out as a clean comedy entertainer, it can create wonders at the box office. Over to you Mr. Harish Shankar!
