Zanjeer remake is becoming bigger with each passing day. After Ram Charan Tej, Arjun Rampal and Mahie Gill, Priyanka Chopra is the latest to join the gang. Believe it or not, but the Fashion actor is getting as much Rs. 9 crore, reports a daily.

Trade sources say that this is the highest remuneration for a Bollywood actress.

While actresses of Priyanka’s league get anything between Rs. 1-4 crore, exceptions are made sometimes (Kareena bagged 6 crore for Heroine)

Priyanka’s spokesperson confirmed to the daily that the actress had signed Zanjeer for a handsome fee, but refused to confirm the amount.

Tara Chowdary is the only person who can boost TRP rates double for our TV channels at the moment. The small time actress caught in sex-racket case has revealed interesting things in police custody.

Tara revealed to cops about her entry into prostitution, which happened after a bitter experience but not by choice. A noted Tollywood hero used to beat his wife violently to procure Tara for him. His wife is also an actress and finally hired Tara to satisfy her husband who beats her black and blue when drunk. Tara told that the ageing hero exploited her for a long time by promising a heroine role in one of his movies. ‘I’ve decided to get into full time prostitution after that bitter experience’, said Tara in her confession statement. It is also heard that two brothers of a top hero who are caught in drugs scandal are elite clients of this brothel runner.

With Tollywood’s name emerging once again in a sex racket, industry big-wigs are shocked to know that their business is not as holy as what they say.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is at that stage in his career where he should decide to march forward towards another stream of activity. And the best option for that would be to join politics and be the face for Telugu Desam Party. However, the analysts say that his impact will be felt basing on the outcome of his forthcoming film.

We are talking about ‘Adhinayakudu’. Apparently, with the bumper hit ‘Simha’ Balayya’s image got good hype. When cinemas become hit public will connect strongly to the stars and that effect can be felt when the stars do a political activity. So, with ‘Simha’ Balayya’s presence increased’

But then, before elections he needs a box office bonanza otherwise even if he canvasses for TDP or joins it, that will not work. The same goes for Junior NTR. If Chandrababu Naidu wants to use the star power then hits are must for both Balayya and Junior. To an extent Nara Rohit managed something with his film ‘Solo’ but he should also score a sizeable hit if TDP has to get that extra ammunition.

One name that is echoing in the entire bachelor circuits of India is Sunny Leone. This porn star turned actress is giving restless nights to youth. How about if she scorches Telugu cinema screen?

Though she has given endless pleasure to eligible men as a porn-star, her scantily clad Indian girl acts are heard much more ravishing. Sunny Leone is all set to rock Indian screen as a lead actress through ‘Jism2’. Mahesh Butt and Pooja Butt are the better explorers of heroine’s sensuality than any other filmmaker in India. With a porn star joining them, there looks no limit in cooking an eccentric hot treat. Good news is that the makers are going to dub this film into Telugu and release it on the same date.

Earlier, ‘Dirty Picture’ and ‘Ragini MMS’ are dubbed like this to cash on the heat. One can expect the same wilderness and steaming raw scenes like its prequel, say insiders. Watch out for the film!

The game of cricket is a religion in India and people from all caste and creed unite for the game. So, any form of cricket is always welcome here. That’s the key reason why the Indian Premiere League (IPL) created a major hype. The new edition has begun and here is an interesting byte from filmnagar.

It is heard that stars Venkatesh and Nagarjuna had a lot of focus on buying stakes in one of the IPL teams especially the Deccan Chargers. However, sources say at the last minute the duo backed off thinking the game didn’t have much craze like before and it may not be a wise business option.

In reality also that much craze is not coming for the IPL tournament now. Buzz is that not many are buying tickets and coming to watch the matches. Most of them are trying for free passes or the VIP block corporate passes. Even the contests for free passes in FM channels are also not getting many calls from people. Good decision Venky and Nag!!

Senior Producer Bellamkonda Suresh is known for his big budget ventures.In recent times, looks like he had decided to cut down the movie budget. He is now keen on producing dubbing movies and low budget movies. Recently, he is showing movies directed by lady directors.

He is currently producing a movie with ‘Ala Modhalaindhi’ fame Nandini Reddy starring Siddharth and Samantha. And recent news is that he is planning a movie with B.Jaya who recently directed Lovely with Aadi. The movie tasted decent success. The pre-production of the movie had already began and an official announcement is expected soon.

Ghajini was one of the prominent dubbing movie in the history of Tollywood which became huge hit in Telugu. The director of the film, Murugadoss later directed Chiranjeevi in Stalin but failed to appeal Telugu audience. He is now all set to introduce his younger brother as hero under his home production which is going to be a bilingual.Earlier this year he produced Journey in Tamil along with the Fox Star production, which was a profitable venture. His new film is going to be again a joint venture with same group under the direction of Kinslin.

Lets wish him all the best!

Tollywood’s Most successful director SS Rajamouli’s latest directorial Eega is currently busy finishing the post production work. According to the producer, The movie is India’s first high quality creature film. Speaking to a TV interview, producer D.Suresh Babu said, “The film has cost us close to 25 crore rupees and about 75 per cent of that budget has been spent only on the CG work”.

In terms of plot, the movie has a very simple storyline. Hero loves heroine. Villain also loves heroine. Villain kills hero. Hero is reborn as a housefly and takes revenge on the villain. Samantha and Nani play the lead pair while Sudeep is playing the negative role in ‘Eega’.

Rather talking about the scenario he is intended for and about the person he is supposed to, Mohan Babu is one actor who always talks about himself first. If the event witnesses Chiranjeevi sharing dais, he pumps his fist more, say observers.

Mohan Babu’s recent talks at ANR felicitation have surely projected him in a wrong way despite of his genuine acting talents. Whenever Mohan Babu is asked to take the mike at public functions, he generally has this habit of mouthing tidbits about his achievements and school. But this time, he stated that he is best actor than legendary Akkineni and confirmed that no one can tell lengthy dialogues better than him. ‘Off course, genuinely he is talented, but these sentences are like crossing limits’, a critic felt.

Some say that most people on that stage are highly appreciated for their talents than Mohan Babu and that’s why he is feeling insecure. Other than ANR, an epitome of hard work on that stage is none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi. Everyone knows how Mohan Babu feels irritated when Chiru gets elevated. Though ANR and Chiru have strike off his words childish, overall heat of Mohan Babu’s argument was felt on their faces. Some say that a look at the fan bases of ANR, Chiru and Mohan Babu reveals who is a bigger, better and brighter star among them. Judgment is up to you guys!

Director Teja who once had seen super hits like Nuvvu Nenu, Jayam was a hot property then. He went to bag a chance to direct Mahesh Babu in Nijam and the movie turned out to be a dud at the box office. From then his career graph began to take a dip. His last movie Keka was released in 2008 and is once again a disaster. And now after 4 years, Teja is coming back with one more movie, Neeku Naku Dash Dash. The movie is releasing today.
